Looking at the system's notification, Jiang Feng didn't hesitate to choose the second option. Then, he made another post on his WeChat Moments.

“Urgent family emergency! I really need 30,000 yuan! Help!”

The system had said that Jiang Feng should look for the person who would save him when he was down and out. But in Jiang Feng's opinion, in his current situation, no one would come to save him! Everyone looked on coldly. They would not dig into the truth of the matter, and they would not call to ask what was going on either. There were many people who wanted to kick someone while they were down.

A few minutes after Jiang Feng posted a status update, red messages popped up one after another. He casually opened his WeChat Moments, and there were already dozens of comments under his status update.

“You need money now? Who told you to mess around yesterday? Serves you right! Go to hell, you piece of trash!”

“Look, a multimillionaire who can't even afford 30,000 yuan. I'm laughing my *ss off.”

“People only want to avoid a piece of trash like you. Why would they lend you money? Who would just throw money away?”

“That unlucky guy risked it and invested everything. He had a death wish. He deserves what's happening to him!”

“I have 30,000 yuan. Do you want it? If you want it, you can kowtow and beg me. Maybe I will lend it to you. Haha!”

In the comments section, mean people kept laughing like crazy. Almost everyone was cursing Jiang Feng with very vicious words. They should feel no enmity for Jiang Feng. In fact, Jiang Feng had helped them a lot in the past. However, now that Jiang Feng was in trouble, they couldn't even show the most basic respect. Under the circumstances, they were all completely heartless. Jiang Feng had seen their true colors!

After closing his Moments, he remained calm for a moment and then clicked on Shen Wen's profile picture. He was Jiang Feng's best friend! As a result, the first person that Jiang Feng thought of when he wanted a meal was him. Back in school, Jiang Feng had taken the risk to let him copy his test paper. In the months after their graduation, Shen Wen had also had difficulty finding a job. Jiang Feng had lent him all the salary he had saved in the past few months without saying a word. He had even used his own abilities to help him.

Although 20,000 yuan was not a lot and his abilities were not much, they had helped Shen Wen with these difficulties and allowed him to continue looking for a job smoothly. In the end, he had been hired by a listed company in Shanghai, and his salary was now several times that of Jiang Feng!

Last night, during their meal, Jiang Feng had heard that he had signed a big contract this year and immediately earned hundreds of thousands of yuan. Given his current status, 30,000 yuan should not be a problem for him at all. Upon thinking of this, Jiang Feng calmed down and dialed his number.

“Ah Wen, my sister is injured. The doctor said that her bones are broken!

“Brother, I need some money urgently. Lend me 30,000 yuan. My sister's life is at stake!”

When the call was connected, Jiang Feng did not have any time to chat. He directly asked to borrow money. In his opinion, there was no need to keep a good friend in suspense. He also had a smile on his face as he spoke to Shen Wen sincerely. If he got Shen Wen to give him 30,000 yuan, Jiang Feng knew how he would use the 100,000,000 yuan he would earn. When the time came, he would definitely help Shen Wen and make a lot of money with him!

“You need to borrow 30,000 yuan? Jiang Feng, are you unaware of your situation?” On the other end of the line, Shen Wen's tone changed, and he answered coldly.

“But brothers help each other out…”

“No, no, no, Jiang Feng. You better figure this out by yourself. Why are you calling me your brother?

“If I lend you 30,000 yuan, when will you return it to me?

“You've already squandered all your assets. Given your bad luck, will you be able to pay back the 30,000 yuan?

“I thought that you would use the money from the demolition to improve. If you had, you wouldn't have had to worry about making a living in the future!

“Now, it seems that your fate is completely different. You can only be an employee of a small company for the rest of your life. You will only live at the bottom of society with the other stinky fish and shrimp there.

“I'm working for a big company now. I can earn hundreds of thousands of yuan with just a single order. We are not on the same level anymore!

“So, Jiang Feng, what makes a poor person like you think that I will lend you 30,000 yuan?

“Wouldn't it be nice if I went to the clubhouse and spent 30,000 yuan there instead?”

Before Jiang Feng could finish his sentence, Shen Wen's heart-wrenching words hurt him like a machine gun. He had never expected that the moment he said that he wanted to borrow money, his good friend would say such bone-chilling words to him! His words were filled with disdain, mockery, and humiliation, all of them targeted at Jiang Feng. He did not make even the slightest effort to conceal his feelings. After hearing his words, Jiang Feng was silent for a long time.

“Ah Wen… You've become a total stranger.

“Don't forget that I was the one who helped you get where you are today.

“Besides, a person's life is at stake. How can you be so heartless?”

Jiang Feng shook his head bitterly. He was really disappointed. He had thought this was his best friend. In the end… Jiang Feng laughed bitterly. He was really a failure. Even his best friend was treating him like this. As the saying goes, true love is revealed in times of adversity! When a person is down and out, what they see is often the clear truth!

“Jiang Feng, you can't say that.

“I was hired by a listed company based on my own abilities. I worked hard!

“Besides, I returned the money you lent me back then. I repaid the favor by treating you to a drink yesterday. We're even now!

“As for a person's life being at stake, what does it have to do with me?

1

“Are you kidding me? That's your sister, not mine!

“Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to someone like you. Don't look for me again in the future. We're not friends anymore!”

As soon as Shen Wen finished speaking, the call was hung up. As he listened to the busy tone, Jiang Feng laughed self-deprecatingly. For a moment, he felt that he was really miserable. He didn't even have one true friend. He thought that, after so many years, he should have at least a few close friends. But now, it seemed that Jiang Feng had been overthinking things.

His girlfriend was a gold-digger, his good friend was a snobbish man, and everyone else just kept kicking him while he was down. This time, a casual move had exposed everyone's icy hearts. Jiang Feng was silent. This time, he had seen through them all. But now was not the time to think about this.

His sister was still waiting for the money to go to the hospital for treatment. He had to hurry up and take care of it. Jiang Feng pushed away his thoughts, flagged down a car, and rushed to the hospital.

“Ding, dong…”

Just as he got in the car, Jiang Feng's cell phone rang. Upon opening the interface, Jiang Feng saw a transfer of 30,000 yuan. When he looked at the name of the person who had transferred the money, Jiang Feng couldn't help feeling stunned.

“Why would she transfer the money to me?”

Jiang Feng looked at Lin Miaoxue's name on the notification and felt a little confused for a moment. But the next moment, a warm current gushed out of his heart. At least, this proved that he had a true friend.

But when he thought of her, the girl who had spoken up for him in the class group chat recently, Jiang Feng still felt a little puzzled. He couldn't understand what Lin Miaoxue was thinking. If his memory served him, he and Lin Miaoxue had been just ordinary classmates. Lin Miaoxue used to be the class monitor, so she had always been busy with all kinds of things. Of course, she was absolutely beautiful, and she had been considered the school belle, but the whole school had also thought of her as a cold, aloof snow-white beauty.

Of course, Jiang Feng had liked her deep down, but their statuses had been too different. She was a goddess who stood high above him, well-liked by everyone, while Jiang Feng had been just an ordinary student from a poor family. He had never thought that the two of them would cross paths, much less that Lin Miaoxue would transfer to him 30,000 yuan today!

As Jiang Feng was in a daze, Lin Miaoxue sent him a message, her tone still as cold as ever. “Here's the money you need to save her life. Take it!”
