{Chapter: 26 Toying with Qiao Siying}
The main character, Ye Feng, in the original novel, through various means, appeased Qiao Siying, and while supporting her ideas of freedom and equality, stirred emotions within him.
However, Lin Yuan was not accustomed to appeasement, nor did he think about offering any.
'I choose the second option, refuse to settle privately, refuse to compensate!'
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, you have received the reward: Advanced 'Stock Trading' skills!] Shan Lan sent a notification.
When the choice appeared, Lin Yuan already had a plan in mind.
Although he chose to refuse compensation, Lin Yuan didn't intend to disregard the scratch on his Lamborghini.
He found it quite amusing that someone who despises the wealthy would provide him with a skill to increase his wealth.
"What do you choose? Do you want to settle it with money? Or do you want to accompany me to the traffic police?" Qiao Siying pretended to be angry, seeing Lin Yuan staring blankly at her.
Didn't Qiao Siying feign anger to extort money? Then she could accompany him and act out her demand for money.
Lin Yuan pretended to have a generous spirit and said while waving his hand, "I want to settle it privately. How much money do you want?"
Lin Yuan looked like someone rolling in money.
At the same time, he checked out Qiao Siying's elegant and proud figure. It made him appear like a rich local tycoon scheming as he watched his prey.
"Tut! Tut! Tut! His tone and gaze make me very uncomfortable. I feel that the goddess should not associate with this kind of man."
"I think you are wrong, acting like a submissive fool. He has a Lamborghini. Why shouldn't she associate with him?"
"Although he looks like a nouveau riche... I like him! This guy is handsome and rich, and I'd rather cry in his Lamborghini!"
"I would too!"
The bystanders were discussing the two of them.
Although Lin Yuan pretended to be a nouveau riche, his handsome face and Lamborghini still captured the hearts of many gold-diggers.
Seeing the expression in Lin Yuan's eyes, Qiao Siying felt that Lin Yuan had taken the bait. She raised her eyebrows and said, "One hundred thousand."
"Aren't you crazy? For just a small scratch, you're demanding a compensation of one hundred thousand?!"
"Yeah! This BMW 7 Series is worth only a million dollars, and she's demanding a hundred thousand just by opening her mouth!"
"I think she just wants to bully this foolish man with a lot of money!"
The onlookers, intrigued by the spectacle, all felt that Qiao Siying's demand was excessive.
However, Lin Yuan unexpectedly said, "Okay, I'll pay you one hundred thousand."
Qiao Siying was slightly surprised to hear this answer. Was this man an idiot, or was he fascinated by her?
She thought that the price of one hundred thousand would be bargained, not expecting him to agree immediately. If she had known this earlier, she would have raised the price.
"Alipay or WeChat?" Lin Yuan asked.
"WeChat, add me as a WeChat friend," Qiao Siying replied.
"Great." Lin Yuan pretended to be overjoyed.
Qiao Siying smiled slightly.
This was one of her little tricks. When transferring the money, she made sure the man would add her on WeChat. After all, how could a man be unhappy when a beautiful woman appeared to have some interest in him, especially when she was allowing him to add her?
After the transfer of money was completed, she would block the man on WeChat.
As expected, she saw Lin Yuan urgently open WeChat and ask her to scan the QR code.
Qiao Siying pretended to be graceful and slowly opened WeChat. The two of them then added each other as friends.
She was waiting for the notification sound, signaling the transfer of money into her account.
However, to her surprise, Lin Yuan, who had initially promised with confidence, suddenly appeared distressed.
Lin Yuan frowned and said, "I don't have enough money in one card, and the other card with ten million hasn't been activated yet. This card was issued by a private bank, and the money in it hasn't been spent yet. It can only be activated by transferring some funds first."
"Could you please transfer half a million to me first? I'll activate the card, and then I'll immediately pay you back the full amount, rounded up to one million. The extra will be to make friends with you."
The onlookers didn't doubt his words for two reasons. Firstly, Lin Yuan was behaving like a nouveau riche, and secondly, he possessed a Lamborghini worth tens of millions of yuan parked behind him.
"Damn! This local tyrant is a superfluous wastrel!"
"Using money to flirt with girls! Spending one million without hesitation!"
The bystanders sighed ruefully.
"Okay," Qiao Siying muttered after pondering for some time.
She knew that Lin Yuan's Lamborghini cost tens of millions of yuan, and she also recognized the limited edition 'Patek Philippe' watch on his wrist, which cost around five to six million. It was unlikely that he would cheat her, considering his wealth.
More importantly, Qiao Siying was confident in her charm. She believed she had already fascinated this 'idiotic' rich second-generation.
Ding!
Lin Yuan soon received a transfer of 500,000 yuan from Qiao Siying.
"Did you receive it?" Qiao Siying asked.
"Mm-hmm."
Lin Yuan only answered with a nasal sound, turned around, and walked directly toward his Lamborghini.
"Huh! What are you doing?" Qiao Siying was slightly confused.
"Looking at the scratches."
"The scratches are on the other side," Qiao Siying shouted.
She immediately reacted upon seeing Lin Yuan, pulled the car door, and got inside the car.
"Where do you want to go? Repay the money," Qiao Siying shouted.
"What money? Miss Qiao?" Lin Yuan turned his head and smiled, revealing his clean white teeth.
Qiao Siying immediately understood upon hearing the appellation "Miss Qiao!"
She never spoke her name, but this rich second-generation knew her surname!
He knew her routine! All those expressions were just him acting. It was all fake, and the intention was to cheat her out of half a million.
Just a while ago, she had been euphoric and self-righteously thinking that she was toying with Lin Yuan.
It turns out that in Lin Yuan's eyes, she was a clown! Just a joke! He had toyed with her.
"You didn't pay for damages, and you will also not return the money you took from me, right? Then I'll call the police! The police will come to deal with this matter! Our matter will have a community resolution!" Qiao Siying grabbed Lin Yuan's hand.
Lin Yuan easily broke away and said with a chuckle: "Don't tease me, Miss Qiao. I have three dashcams in my car. You can also watch the footage. Although my car turned around, your car deliberately leaned forward and scratched mine."
Qiao Siying didn't expect such a quick rebuttal and immediately said: "I'll tell my dad! My dad will find you to pay for damages!"
Qiao Siying was aware that Lin Yuan knew the Qiao family, so she tried to use the power of the Qiao family to make Lin Yuan yield.
She felt very uncomfortable being played like a fiddle. However, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Okay. I welcome you to visit the Lin family house. I will be waiting for you there."
Lin Yuan stepped on the gas pedal and quickly left after he finished speaking.
In fact, the hundreds of thousands of yuan were a trivial amount for both Lin Yuan and Qiao Siying.
They simply enjoyed manipulating others, that was all.
In this case, Qiao Siying lost and lost thoroughly.
"The Lin family? Isn't the Lin family among the top ten families in Jiangbei City?"
"It seems that the one who left here just now is probably Young Master Lin; he is so handsome."
"The Lin family is so awesome."
Qiao Siying bit her red lips lightly when she heard the words of the onlookers.
How could she not know the Lin family? The Lin family is more powerful than her Qiao family. They not only have more wealth than her family, but their foundation is also stronger. The Qiao family is not considered among the top ten families of Jiangbei.
She remembered that the man who had toyed with her was the young master of the Lin family, Lin Yuan! Even if she talked to the dad who spoils her, she thought she would only get a scolding.
She had thoroughly lost to Lin Yuan now, just like when she played by him earlier.
"Lin Yuan, I remember you!" Qiao Siying gnashed her teeth and said fiercely.
---
At that time, Lin Yuan had already come to the lobby of his company.

Notes
Qiu Wenxin comes from a small background. She is extremely beautiful from the outside but her life has been anything but a bed of roses. She has already lost her parents early in her life. She is also suffering from a terminal illness. She is not studying because surviving is a luxury for her. She has a dream of being a cake shop owner and the dream is her sustenance for living so far. She has a positive outlook in life, is tenacious, grateful, and has an inferiority complex. Also, so far has a crush on Lin Yuan via the two meetings she had. She hopes to earn money for him and see him every day.
Yan Ruyue is extremely disgusted with the MC in the beginning. She tried unsuccessfully to cultivate feelings for him for a long time by introducing him to her hobbies and possibly knowing him as well. The disgust stems from his obsession with her. She is careless, often missing out on simple details when she is panicked. For example, failing to stop MC charging forward and inserting needles in her mother's head or even not realizing that the tree she considers so important is missing sunshine. She is not interested in the MC even after she saves her mother and helps her save the tree. However, she realizes that the MC has changed while she has prejudice against him.
The MC is shrewd and manipulative. I had said that although I really like the MC I would have liked a transition period, you know. He is not apologetic at wanting to get many girls at the same time. He is shown to be cruel when he uses torture to subdue his underling. His ambition is to live happily ever after.

"I would rather cry in a BMW" is a quotation that became an online sensation in many places. This is typical gold-digger behaviour. The same saying was for Only fans girls.
