Liu Ruxue saw Lin Ran again and felt that he had become even more handsome. What was going on? She actually felt a slight flutter in her heart.
Lin Ran looked down at the scratch on the car, his heart aching. He pointed at the phone on the hood and asked, "Whose phone is this?"
Liu Ruxue replied, "It's mine."
Lin Ran nodded, "Then it's settled. Pay up."
Huo Haini and Liu Ruxue: ???
"Brother Lin Ran! School hasn't even started yet. Why are you here? Did you come to see me?"
Lin Ran nodded, "Yes, I came to see you. You damaged my car, so pay up."
Huo Haini laughed, "Lin Ran, are you delusional? Do you even know what kind of car this is? Why don't you just say you're a tycoon or something?"
Lin Ran thought to himself: I'm not, but my wife is.
Without saying another word, he took out the car key and pressed it. The Koenigsegg responded immediately.
Everyone around was completely stunned.
This supercar, worth over a hundred million, actually belonged to Lin Ran?
Lin Ran was quite famous at Capital University. In fact, he was practically a household name on campus, and there were three main reasons for his fame.
First, he was ridiculously good-looking. He was the undisputed heartthrob of Capital University, with countless admirers, all of whom Lin Ran had rejected.
Second, he was shamelessly devoted. Despite being such a handsome guy, he had no qualms about simping for Liu Ruxue.
Although Liu Ruxue was also beautiful and the campus belle, many people believed Lin Ran could have done better.
Like, for example, the countless girls who had desperately pursued him only to be coldly rejected.
Third, he was exceptionally talented. To win Liu Ruxue's heart, Lin Ran had worked hard to make himself outstanding.
He had won scholarships left and right, excelled academically, and was skilled in singing, dancing, and even rap. On top of that, he was the campus heartthrob.
The only downside was that all of this was for Liu Ruxue. It was said that every scholarship he earned was spent on her.
Because of his fame, everyone knew him well.
Lin Ran wasn't wealthy—that was common knowledge on campus.
If he were rich, why would he be working part-time every day?
Now, this campus heartthrob, known for his devotion, was claiming to own a Koenigsegg worth over a hundred million. Could anyone believe it?
"Holy crap! That car belongs to Senior Lin? This is beyond unbelievable!"
"Liu Ruxue damaged the car, but Lin Ran definitely won't make her pay for it."
"Not so sure about that. Didn't you hear what Lin Ran said? He asked for compensation, and he looks really angry."
"Wouldn't you be mad if your car got scratched?"
"If only Senior Lin could be my boyfriend."
"I never knew Senior Lin was this rich—and so handsome too. I'd be willing to sit in the passenger seat of his car, even if he teased me or married me!"
"Hey, aren't you being a bit greedy?"
"Knowing Senior Lin, this whole thing will probably just blow over."
Wu Zhishang, standing nearby, was also shocked.
Lin Ran had only mentioned that he drove here, but he hadn't said what kind of car it was. Who would have thought it was such an impressive supercar? And from what people were saying, it was worth a hundred million?
Damn, a hundred million!
Lin Ran's rich wife must be insanely wealthy!!
Ah... just kill him already! This was too much to handle.
He was worried about Lin Ran struggling, but now he was driving a supercar. At this point, he couldn't even feel jealous anymore.
The gap was just too big.
After calming himself down, Wu Zhishang walked over to Lin Ran and looked at the stunned Liu Ruxue and Huo Haini.
"Brother Lin, don't be too harsh. They only caused a tiny scratch. As classmates, just let them pay a million or so and call it a day."
Pfft!
Huo Haini almost spat out blood, but then she realized something was off.
"Did you rent this car?"
Lin Ran replied, "A supercar worth over a hundred million? Go ahead and rent one for me to see."
Huo Haini was speechless. What Lin Ran said made sense.
But wait! She knew Lin Ran's situation well. Where did he get such an expensive car?
Even Liu Ruxue was completely baffled. She lightly tapped her head, wondering if she was still dreaming.
"Lin Ran, is this... really your car? Where did you get the money to buy it? Or did you borrow it from someone?"
Lin Ran didn't bother explaining, "No point in talking. Just pay up. As Wu Zhishang said, a million. If you can't pay, I'll have to take legal action."
Huo Haini immediately lost her temper.
"Lin Ran, don't push your luck. A million? Are you out of your mind?"
"Right now! Immediately! Hand over the car keys and let Ruxue drive this car. Then I might consider convincing her to give you a chance to get closer to her."
Liu Ruxue started fidgeting shyly, waiting for Lin Ran's response.
Lin Ran scoffed, "Are you an idiot? If you don't want to pay, then I'll just call the police."
With that, he took out his phone and dialed the police, "Hello, I'd like to report a case... Yes, that's right. They're also threatening me to hand over the car. I feel like I'm being coerced... Yes, at Capital University..."
As Lin Ran spoke clearly on the phone, both Liu Ruxue and the onlookers realized one thing:
Lin Ran was dead serious.
After hanging up, Lin Ran asked, "So, are you ready to pay now? The police will be here soon."
He then called his insurance company to report the incident.
Liu Ruxue certainly didn’t have that much money. Her family only had a small amount of assets thanks to the care of the Lin family, and she herself was far from wealthy. Her seemingly comfortable life was maintained solely through Lin Jian’s generosity and Lin Ran’s hard work.
Huo Haini stammered, “I… we don’t have that much money. How do we know if your broken car wasn’t already damaged?”
“No money? No problem! You can always sell yourselves!”
Huo Haini retorted, “You… how vulgar.”
Lin Ran then turned to Liu Ruxue, “Or you could beg your dear brother Lin Jian! Aren’t you two *very* close?”
He emphasized the words “very close” with biting clarity, causing Liu Ruxue to panic as if some hidden secret had been exposed.
“I… Lin Jian is just a student. Where would he get that kind of money?”
“Your cousin? Oh, right, right! Your cousin! Since you’re unwilling, then pay up!”
Lin Ran wasn’t ready to expose Liu Ruxue just yet. He planned to gather definitive evidence to make both Liu Ruxue and Lin Jian face the consequences in public.
To destroy someone, you must first let them grow complacent.
The feeling of falling from the highest peak is what truly captivates the heart.
Liu Ruxue put on a pitiful expression and said, “Alright, I admit I was wrong. How about this? I’ll give you the chance to have dinner with me, and we’ll consider this matter settled.”
Lin Ran was utterly disgusted.
“Liu Ruxue, could you stop being so repulsive? Right now, you’re like a pile of dung—soft, stinky, and meeting you feels like a curse I brought upon myself.”
Liu Ruxue whimpered, “Lin Ran, why… why are you treating me like this? Wuwuwu!”
Lin Ran felt a chill run down his spine, almost vomiting on the spot.
At this moment, Liu Ruxue’s level of repulsiveness had surpassed even Wu Zhishang’s phone.
