Chapter 38: It's All Over!

Wang Tengfei had lost his mind at this moment.

He didn't want to be suppressed by that loser Ye Chen in front of his classmates.

So he hardened his heart, took the firecrackers from Wang Daokun’s hand, and threw them directly into his car.

Afterwards, he picked up a lighter, grabbed the fuse of the firecrackers, and said coldly, "You guys watch closely! I’m not someone who can't afford to lose! And I don't need Ye Chen’s sympathy!"

As he spoke, he immediately lit the lighter!

The firecrackers ignited instantly and exploded with a crackle inside the car!

At first, you could still see the firelight inside the car, but soon, the car was full of thick white smoke. The sound of the firecrackers constantly exploding made Wang Tengfei’s heart bleed, but it made the classmates watching the show extremely excited.

Many classmates had long since started taking out their phones to record, preparing to post the whole process to the short-video platform later, so that netizens could also see this rare, crazy operation.

The thirty thousand firecrackers exploded continuously, soon blowing the seats of the BMW 540 to pieces. The seats were filled with a large amount of sponge, which were all flammable materials. Under the combustion-supporting effect of the firecracker gunpowder, a bright fire immediately started.

Everyone didn't expect the firecrackers to set the car on fire, and since it was filled with white smoke, it was impossible to see that it had caught fire.

However, when the firecrackers had finished exploding and the smoke began to dissipate, the flames inside suddenly burst out, and the entire cabin was instantly engulfed in a sea of fire!

The classmates at the scene all screamed. Wang Tengfei was so scared he blurted out, "Damn, put out the fire! Hurry up and put out the fire!"

He had originally thought that a string of firecrackers would at most blow up the seats and damage the interior, and at worst, he would spend tens of thousands, or even over a hundred thousand, to repair the car and restore it to its original state.

But he never expected that the firecrackers would start a big fire inside the car!

He shouted to put out the fire, but no one could help him put out the flames inside the car with their bare hands. He panicked and dialed 119, then watched in despair as the fire in his beloved car grew larger and larger, finally falling into a sea of flames.

By the time the fire truck arrived, the BMW 540 was burned down to nothing but the frame.

From the frame, you couldn't even tell that it had once been a BMW.

Wang Tengfei sat paralyzed on the ground, watching his beloved BMW turn into ashes in despair, his heart filled with pain.

If he had known it would be like this, he wouldn't have provoked Ye Chen and insisted on competing with him even if he died.

Now, not only had he lost face, but he had also lost his car...

Wang Daokun didn't have much expression on his face, but he found it quite funny in his heart and quietly gave Ye Chen a thumbs up.

Afterwards, he said to Wang Tengfei, "Tengfei, don't be too sad. It’s about time, why don't we go inside and eat?"

Wang Tengfei wanted to find an excuse to leave immediately, but after thinking about it carefully, that would be too easy for that bastard Ye Chen!

No matter what, his car was ruined because of Ye Chen, so he had to get this back!

So, he stood up and said with feigned calmness, "What do I have to be sad about? I just lost the bet."

Several classmates who were sucking up to him also came forward to echo, "Brother Fei is so rich, what’s a BMW?"

"Exactly! To Brother Fei, it’s just an ordinary commuter car!"

Everyone knew Wang Tengfei wanted face, so they stopped mentioning the matter and followed Wang Daokun inside to prepare for the opening ceremony.

Inside the store, several tables of banquet had already been set up in the lobby. On the small stage in front, there was a banner celebrating the class reunion and the opening of the restaurant.

Many classmates presented their gifts one after another. Ye Chen also took the ancient painting he had bought and walked to Wang Daokun, saying, "Congratulations, Daokun. This is a little opening gift from the two of us."

Xiao Churan also smiled and said, "Wang Daokun, congratulations to you. I wish you great wealth!"

"Thank you, thank you." Wang Daokun thanked them hurriedly, then leaned into Ye Chen’s ear and whispered with a lewd smile, "I see you and the class flower are very close, not like what the outside world says! When are you going to have children?"

Xiao Churan heard their whispering and couldn't help but blush. Ye Chen smiled and said, "Stop being so gossipy. When we have one, we’ll tell you. You won't be short of the gift money!"

"That’s for sure, that’s for sure!" Wang Daokun nodded repeatedly and said, "When the time comes, I’ll definitely give the child a big red envelope!"

At this time, a woman with heavy makeup and an ordinary appearance came to Wang Daokun’s side and asked, "Daokun, who are these two?"

"This is my best friend from university, my iron buddy, Ye Chen! This is our school flower, Xiao Churan, now Ye Chen’s wife."

After Wang Daokun introduced the two, he introduced the woman beside him, "This is my fiancée, Liu Lili."

"Ah? He’s that soft-..."

Liu Lili blurted out, but quickly realized she had said the wrong thing and hurriedly changed her tone with a smile, "I’ve always heard Wang Daokun mention you two. You two are truly a talented man and a beautiful woman!"

Ye Chen pretended not to hear and handed the ancient painting to Liu Lili, saying, "This is a little token of our appreciation."

Liu Lili smiled and said, "Oh, you’re here, why bring gifts!"

As she spoke, she hurriedly took the gift box.

Ye Chen said, "You two go ahead and get busy. We’ll find a place to sit first."

"Alright." Wang Daokun said apologetically, "Sorry, Ye Chen, there are too many classmates, I have to greet them all."

Just as Ye Chen and Xiao Churan walked away, Liu Lili hurriedly opened the gift box Ye Chen had sent and found a scroll inside. She frowned and said, "What did this classmate of yours send?"

Wang Daokun said, "Can't you tell? A painting!"

"Tch." Liu Lili curled her lips in disdain, opened the scroll, took a look, and said, "What kind of junk is this? It’s old and rotten. I guess it’s only worth one or two hundred yuan."

Wang Daokun said sternly, "Why do you care how much it’s worth? A classmate sent it, the gift is light, but the sentiment is heavy."

Liu Lili said, "Stop it. I’m telling you, associate less with such classmates in the future. Two people sending such a piece of junk isn't even enough to cover the cost of their meal!"

Wang Daokun’s face was gloomy, "Liu Lili, are you really that snobbish?"

Liu Lili was suddenly furious, "Wang Daokun, how are you talking? I’m snobbish? If I were really snobbish, would I have found a poor loser like you? Don't forget, more than half of the money for this restaurant was invested by my dad!"

Wang Daokun’s expression was a bit awkward, but he was also speechless for a moment.

At this time, Wang Tengfei walked up to the two. He had recovered quite a bit from the car-burning incident just now and started to put on a tough-guy act again.

Coming to the two, he handed over a thick red envelope and said lightly, "Daokun, your restaurant is opening, and I don't know what’s appropriate to give you, so I’ll just give you a big red envelope."

Liu Lili thanked him while hurriedly taking it. With a squeeze, she knew it was at least ten thousand. She immediately flattered, "Oh, thank you so much!"

Wang Tengfei waved his hand and asked her, "I saw Ye Chen also came to send a gift just now? What did he send?"

Liu Lili hummed with a laugh and said, "A painting, don't know where he dug it up from a second-hand market. I guess it’s only worth one or two hundred yuan!"

Wang Tengfei sneered, "A loser is a loser after all!" ===== CHAPTER 39 =====
