Chapter 235: [235] Do you understand the concept of ‘you have to accept losing a bet’?_1
“Tang… Tang Feng?”
The moment Xi Shijing saw Tang Feng, his back suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
He had already learned of the problems with his father’s engineering project earlier this morning, and also knew about last night’s events from his father.
Especially given that Tang Feng had predicted their family’s project would run into trouble, he never expected it to come true overnight.
Such methods were simply inconceivable.
So now, looking at Tang Feng was like looking at a monster.
Wang Yao didn’t know any of this and was relieved to see that Xi Shijing seemed to recognize Tang Feng.
“Haha, turns out everyone knows each other? That makes things easy. Brother, I’ll treat you to lunch today as an apology. As for the race, let’s not take it too seriously. What do you think?”
“I don’t think so. You have to accept the loss if you have agreed to a bet. If I had lost just now, I would also have strictly abided by the gambling agreement.”
Tang Feng ignored his olive branch and showed a stance of keeping people at a distance.
Wang Yao was momentarily stunned.
He had thought that with Xi Shijing’s intervention, the other party would give some face, but he was unexpectedly unsociable.
He had no choice but to look at Xi Shijing again, “Mr. Xi, please say something.”
“Say what? Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear Mr. Tang’s words? Understand the meaning of ‘accepting the bet and the loss’?”
The previously confident Xi Shijing suddenly did a one-eighty in his attitude.
Wang Yao was struck like thunder, his gaze dull as he stared at him, “Mr. Xi, you… you just said…”
“What are you talking about? Wasn’t it you who agreed to the bet with your own mouth?”
“Yes, but…”
“But what? Since you lost, you have to fulfill the bet. If you dare to welsh, even if Mr. Tang doesn’t deal with you, I won’t let you off either.”
Xi Shijing’s face turned fierce and threatening.
All the street racers on the scene were dumbfounded.
In their circle, Xi Shijing’s status was among the highest.
Not because his skills were that impressive, but mainly because his family was extremely wealthy.
His modified cars alone could cost millions, a bona fide pay-to-win player.
Regardless of whether they were convinced inwardly, they all had to be courteous to him on the surface.
They never imagined that Mr. Xi, whom they regarded as a super-rich second-generation in their hearts, would act so lowly in front of Tang Feng.
Just like a fawning dog.
Everyone secretly sized up Tang Feng, guessing at his background.
The woman sitting in the passenger seat of the Audi R8 was even more frequent in tossing flirtatious glances at Tang Feng, trying to attract his attention.
“Give me the keys.”
Xi Shijing, not one for wasting words, reached out to Wang Yao.
Though Wang Yao was very reluctant, he didn’t dare to disobey his order and had to hand over the car keys.
After receiving the keys, Xi Shijing turned and respectfully handed them to Tang Feng, “Mr. Tang, this car is yours from now on.”
Tang Feng didn’t bother with pleasantries and took the keys, “Thanks.”
For some reason, Xi Shijing felt overwhelmingly flattered.
It was as if doing something for Tang Feng was a great accomplishment.
“Mr. Tang, I’ve heard from my father about what happened last night, and I would like to apologize on his behalf first. I hope you are magnanimous enough to forgive my father’s rashness.”
While he spoke, Xi Shijing carefully watched Tang Feng’s expression.
Tang Feng, on the other hand, looked indifferent and waved his hand, “It’s a minor matter; I stopped caring about it a long time ago.”
Xi Shijing immediately breathed a sigh of relief, “Mr. Tang really is someone who does big things; such magnanimity is truly incomparable to ordinary people…”
“Do you have anything else?”
Tang Feng, disgusted by his fawning words, had to interrupt.
Xi Shijing hesitated for a moment, “Well… it’s like this. Mr. Tang, you’re so insightful, and my father’s engineering project indeed encountered a severe problem this morning.”
Tang Feng nodded, “I’ve heard about it.”
Xi Shijing’s eyes suddenly brightened, “Since you’ve forgiven my father, may I ask if you could help us find a way out? We will be most grateful if the Xi family can get through this crisis…”
Tang Feng raised his hand to stop him from continuing, “Sorry, but I can’t help.”
Xi Shijing became anxious, “Mr. Tang, haven’t you truly forgiven my father? We do know each other, after all. You can’t just stand by.”
Tang Feng couldn’t help but scoff, “Do you really think I’m a miracle worker? If your father had listened to me last night, there might have been a chance to rectify the situation. Now that the accident has happened, what can I do?”
Xi Shijing felt a deep despair, knowing Tang Feng was telling the truth.
The accident had happened, and other than bankrupting themselves to pay the damages, what else could they do?
If there was anyone to blame, it was his father’s stubbornness, for not listening to advice last night.
Tang Feng no longer paid any attention to him and looked somewhat troubled at the Audi R8.
He had won the car, but how was he to drive it back?
Wang Yao seemed to notice his dilemma and hurried over, “Mr. Tang, I can drive it back for you.”
He had only bought the car two days ago and had not yet gotten over the novelty; he was eager to drive it a little longer.
Tang Feng glanced back at him and eventually handed over the keys.
Then he turned and got into the Ferrari, driving back.
Wang Yao followed behind in the Audi R8.
Xi Shijing kept up a smiling face until Tang Feng’s car disappeared from view, then his smile gradually faded.
“Mr. Xi, who is this god-like figure? Why do you seem so afraid of him?” asked one of the street racers, quite oblivious to the situation.
Xi Shijing glanced at him, “All you need to know is that even Zhou Kai has to curry favor with him cautiously.”
The faces of the other racers changed dramatically.
Zhou Kai was a well-known billionaire in Zhonghai, rumored to have a family fortune of over ten billion.
In their eyes, he was definitely a super boss.
If even Zhou Kai had to fawn over Tang Feng, what kind of person was he?
The crowd couldn’t help but shiver.
