Right when the whole city was buzzing about Yunding Manor and the mysterious buyer Mr. Lin, another explosive piece of news started to go viral on the internet.
"Shocking! A delivery guy bought out an entire streetâs worth of luxury goods in one go!"
An exaggeratedly titled short video quietly began to spread online, amassing tens of millions of views in just half a day.
In the video, a young man in delivery clothes is seen effortlessly swiping his card, emptying all the luxury shops on the street, with the highest single purchase amounting to 10 million!
Unfortunately, the video only captured the delivery guyâs back, so his face couldnât be seen. It was clearly filmed secretly by someone at the scene.
Those who saw the video were all stirred up.
"Damn, a delivery guy with that much cash?"
"Is this some kind of performance art by a rich second generation?"
"I heard it was an act where a rich second generation pretended to be a delivery guy to woo someone, slapping a gold-digger in the face!"
"So fake, why would someone with that much money be a delivery guy, is this a staged act?"
Some were amazed, others skeptical. Netizens divided into two camps, sparking a heated debate with various speculations emerging.
In a rented room in a city village, Blue Moon receptionist Little Zhang, who was just laid off today, was busy job hunting online.
Her best friend suddenly sent her a short video: "Check out this delivery guy, isnât he amazing!"
Little Zhang opened the video and blurted out, "Itâs him!"
Her friend asked curiously, "You know who he is?"
Little Zhang nodded, her face a bit pale, "It canât be wrong, heâs the one who spent a hundred million to buy out Blue Moon and got me fired today!"
She really regretted it now. If she had known Lin Fan was such a wealthy person, she wouldnât have offended him today, and now itâs too late to regret.
Her friend said with deep regret, "How could you have offended him, youâve made me lose a chance to change my fate, you know!"
Little Zhang broke into a sweat: "What does it have to do with you?"
Her friend replied, "You donât understand, Iâm your best friend. If your fate changes, so does mine. Now that youâve lost the chance, so have I."
For a moment, it was as if the two had lost a jackpot lottery ticket, and they hugged each other and cried bitterly.
In another apartment complex.
Zhao Xinâer saw the short video and was instantly reminded of the dayâs events.
She felt a pang of regret, thinking how wonderful it would have been if she had accepted Lin Fanâs affection today!
Just then, the TV reported on the news about Yunding Manor, saying that Yun Cityâs most expensive luxury residence, Yunding Manor, had been successfully bought by a mysterious Mr. Lin for a sky-high price of 3 billion!
Mr. Lin!
Zhao Xinâer trembled as if struck by electricity.
"Oh my god, could this Mr. Lin be Lin Fan?"
The thought thrilled her. Sheâd been nervous all day, not daring to contact Lin Fan; now, suddenly energized, she immediately opened WeChat and sent Lin Fan a message.
"Lin Fan, I really love you, can you forgive me?"
"Dear, I have something very important to tell you, please, can you reply to me?"
Lin Fan always replied to her messages in the blink of an eye before, but this time, after she sent out her messages, Lin Fan didnât reply for quite a while.
Things really arenât what they used to be!
She didnât dare blame Lin Fan even a bit, so she just held onto her phone and started to wait anxiously.
Meanwhile, Lin Fan, who had just returned to his rented room, took a nice shower.
After washing, Lin Fan returned to his bed and half-lay down, noticing his phone constantly vibrating. Upon picking it up, he found out it was the delivery group blowing up.
His colleagues were fervently discussing a short video, and with a casual refresh, there were already 999+ new messages.
"Wow, thereâs actually a hidden billionaire in our group! Who could it be?"
"Can anyone recognize him? This back looks so familiar, just canât pinpoint it!"
"Seriously, even billionaires are competing with us for deliveries?"
"Come on, big shot, show yourself with a sound!"
"Calling the big shot!"
"Calling the big shot!"
"Calling the big shot!"
Lin Fan opened the short video and realized with a bit of sweat, isnât this me.
He was only showing off today, and it caused such a big uproar!
Lin Fan casually typed a reply.
Send!
"Hi everyone, this person is me."
A brief silence followed in the group, and then a burst of laughter.
"Here he comes, let me see whoâs pretending!"
"Hello, is this 110? Someoneâs pretending!"
"Come on Lin Fan, give it up, who doesnât know youâre the king of losers!"
"Bro, get lost, I didnât even say it was me!"
No one believed Lin Fan.
They quipped about Lin Fan and then promptly forgot about him, continuing their frenzied refresh of 999+ new messages.
Lin Fan sighed helplessly and quietly exited the group chat.
Then Lin Fan noticed Zhao Xinâer had sent him a message.
Zhao Xinâer was asking for forgiveness and begging for his response.
Lin Fan found it a bit funny. Before Zhao Xinâer sent those two messages, it was the message he sent to Zhao Xinâer in the morning.
Coincidentally, he was asking Zhao Xinâer back then too.
"Xinâer, Iâm downstairs at your place, I have something important to tell you, please, can you come down to meet me?"
After that, he met Zhao Xinâer and confessed his love, only to be humiliated and dragged to the L.V. store.
Little did he expect, not even a day later, their roles had reversed. Zhao Xinâer had become his puppy, pleading with him instead.
Lin Fan felt no affection for Zhao Xinâer anymore, but out of politeness, he still replied to her: "Whatâs the matter?"
On the other side, upon receiving Lin Fanâs reply, Zhao Xinâer jumped up in joy: "Oh my god, he replied, he still cares about me!"
She immediately replied: "Lin Fan, I knew you still love me!"
Lin Fan found it a bit speechless. Before, when he liked Zhao Xinâer, as long as Zhao Xinâer replied, he also thought she cared about him. In reality, she was just being polite.
So, this is what it means to be overconfident in a one-sided affection!
Lin Fan didnât want to waste words with her, so he replied: "I am going to sleep."
Zhao Xinâer hastily replied: "I havenât asked you yet, that Mr. Lin who spent 3 billion to buy Yunding Manor, is that you?"
Lin Fan made a sound of surprise; Zhao Xinâer actually guessed it was him!
"Is that all you wanted to ask? You canât talk three sentences without mentioning money, a true gold-digger through and through. Why was I so blind not to see it before?"
Lin Fan sneered, didnât reply to Zhao Xinâer, and didnât even want to keep in touch with such a woman, quickly blocking and deleting her from his contacts.
Throwing the phone aside, he went to sleep.
Zhao Xinâer waited with bated breath for Lin Fanâs reply. If Lin Fan said he was Mr. Lin, she might just go crazy with happiness.
However, after waiting for a long time, Lin Fan didnât reply. She was anxious to death, pacing around the room, eating and sleeping restlessly.
In the past, she too would wait for ages without replying to Lin Fan; now she somewhat understood how Lin Fan felt in the past, filled with some regret.
If she hadnât been so cold to Lin Fan before, she could now be the girlfriend of a billionaire.
She couldnât hold it in any longer and typed a message: "Hey, darling, why arenât you answering me? Have you fallen asleep?"
Sending failed!
A big red exclamation mark!
"Please add the other party as a friend first."
Zhao Xinâer was petrified; something a thousand times worse than him falling asleep had happened. Lin Fan actually blocked her!
"No!"
Zhao Xinâer immediately let out an earth-shattering scream, shaking the entire building.
