Chapter 99: 【99】Did he suddenly start cheating?_1
Li Wenxuan exploded, and all the classmates became as silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to speak any further.

Tang Feng slowly put down his chopsticks, “Li Wenxuan, everyone was just joking around, is it necessary to take it so seriously?”

Li Wenxuan snorted, “Even if it’s a joke, there should be a limit. After all, Jiang Zi is a girl, who jokes like this?”

At this moment, Jiang Zi also slowly looked up at him, “I don’t mind, we’re all classmates, a few jokes don’t matter.”

Now even the person involved said she didn’t mind, making it clear she was saying Li Wenxuan was a meddling busybody.

Li Wenxuan’s face turned green and white, feeling that everyone was targeting him.

“Jiang Zi, I want to remind you, you can’t judge people just by their appearance.”

“Some may appear bright and shiny in front of you, but who knows how filthy they can be behind your back. You must not be deceived by their surface,” he said with insinuations just short of naming names.

All eyes in the room turned to Tang Feng, wanting to see how he would respond.

“I wonder who this bright on the surface, but filthy behind the back person you’re talking about is?”

Tang Feng continued eating with an unfazed expression, asking calmly.

Li Wenxuan swirled the red wine in his glass, “Whoever I’m talking about, they know it themselves. Do I even need to spell it out?”

Tang Feng finished the red wine in his glass, slowly setting it down on the table, “I think you should clarify your words, otherwise it might lead to misunderstandings.”

“You asked for it,” said Li Wenxuan directly staring at him.

“Indeed, I did,” Tang Feng, refusing to back down, met his gaze.

Their eyes locked, and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

The private room was dead quiet, no one dared to speak at this tense moment.

“Fine, then let me ask you a few questions, and I hope you answer honestly.”

Li Wenxuan’s mouth carried a hint of mockery, “I heard from Mr. Zhang that this meal worth hundreds of thousands was a gift from the owner of the hotel to you.”

“As far as I’m aware, the owner of this hotel is a woman, right?”

Tang Feng picked up a piece of matsutake mushroom and put it in his mouth, “Yes, what about it?”

Seeing him admit it, the smile on Li Wenxuan’s face deepened, “Then, may I know what is the relationship between you and this female owner?”

Tang Feng glanced at him, “What is my relationship with her to you?”

Li Wenxuan sneered, “You wanted to understand what I meant by my earlier words, right? Then please answer my question honestly.”

Tang Feng smiled and shook his head, “Alright, I’ll cooperate. The owner of this hotel and I are friends. Are you satisfied with this answer?”

Li Wenxuan leaned back in his chair slowly, “Friends? What kind of friend gives you a meal worth hundreds of thousands? It seems your relationship is not ordinary.”

After such a roundabout way, everybody finally understood what he was trying to say.

A friend of the opposite sex, giving away a meal worth hundreds of thousands.

Either there is something to ask of the other person, or the two have an intimate relationship.

Although the classmates present didn’t say much due to saving face, their looks towards Tang Feng had grown complicated.

There was envy, jealousy, and also contempt.

Clearly, they saw him as a gigolo.

Tang Feng ignored the gazes of the crowd and calmly looked at Li Wenxuan, “My relationship with the owner of this hotel is indeed very good, but what does that prove?”

Li Wenxuan nodded with a smile, “Indeed, it proves nothing, but I just inquired with a friend, the antique shop where you’re now working, isn’t its owner a woman too?”

Tang Feng’s eyes narrowed, “What exactly are you trying to say?”

“Tsk tsk tsk…”

Li Wenxuan clicked his tongue, smiling at the other classmates, “Our old classmate, Tang Feng, seems to have quite the romantic luck.”

“The hotel’s female owner gives him a meal worth hundreds of thousands, the antique shop’s female owner pays him a salary of a hundred thousand a month. How come I never encounter such good things?”

“Is it because I’m not handsome enough, or perhaps my performance isn’t good enough, hahaha…”

His words were no longer just sarcastic, they were equivalent to cursing someone to their faces.

What does it mean by not handsome enough?

What does it mean by not performing well enough?

Obviously, he was implying that Tang Feng was a male escort, climbing up the ranks by pleasing female bosses.

Many classmates started to harbor doubts.

Li Wenxuan’s words weren’t completely without reason.

After all, at their age, it would be very difficult to achieve what Tang Feng had achieved through his own efforts.

And coincidentally, whether it’s the owner of the antique shop or this hotel, both are women, and Tang Feng is quite handsome.

Especially today, wearing a designer suit, he truly had the capital to be seen as a gigolo.

That got people thinking.

“Li Wenxuan, don’t talk nonsense, Tang Feng is not that kind of person,”

Before Tang Feng could even defend himself, Jiang Zi was the first to get angry.

Although she had just reunited with Tang Feng in the past few days and didn’t know much about his situation, she would never believe that Tang Feng was the kind of person who got ahead by being a gigolo.

Li Wenxuan looked at her, revealing a bitter smile, “Then how do you explain that he was just fired by a real estate company a few months ago, and in less than three months, he’s risen to the top?”

“Not only is he earning a monthly salary of a hundred thousand, but he also has such a good relationship with this hotel’s female owner. Did he suddenly start cheating?”

“He…” Jiang Zi found herself at a loss for words.

Because by common sense, this really seemed improbable, and she couldn’t find any reason to defend Tang Feng.

Li Wenxuan smiled triumphantly, then turned his head to look at Tang Feng, “Old classmate, what else have you got to hide? Being a gigolo isn’t a bad thing; others wish they had the means for it. Don’t we all agree?”

The group of classmates had embarrassed smiles on their faces.

Saying “yes” wasn’t right, and saying “no” also wasn’t right, so they simply ate their meals in silence.

They did not want to be part of the confrontation between the two men.

Tang Feng’s eyes slightly narrowed as he stared dead at Li Wenxuan across from him.

This guy was intent on ruining his reputation!
