54: Chapter 54 I'm coming clean.

The moment Lin Yi saw Sun Xiaoxiao, he recognized her.

Wasn't she that gold-digging goddess his roommate Hu Kai was obsessed with?

Just a few days ago, he had specifically used a sting operation to expose her true colors.

He hadn't expected her to be Yang Xiaoli's cousin.

And Yang Xiaoli had even brought her along to the villa to hang out.

Really... all the "good" things just had to happen on the same day...

Lin Yi subconsciously turned his face away.

He didn't want to have any more dealings with someone like her.

Sun Xiaoxiao hadn't noticed Lin Yi at first.

It wasn't until she got closer that she noticed a boy who kept his back turned to her.

As if he were deliberately avoiding her.

Driven by curiosity, Sun Xiaoxiao peeked over to take a look.

These familiar features...

Wasn't this the culprit who caused her to break up with her boyfriend!

"It's you!"

Sun Xiaoxiao pointed at Lin Yi instantly.

The attention of the other students was also drawn to this scene.

Yang Xiaoli tilted her head to look at Sun Xiaoxiao.

"Xiaoxiao, do you know Lin Yi?"

Sun Xiaoxiao nodded, her gaze fixed intently on Lin Yi.

"Sis, he's the guy I just told you about, the one who pretended to be a rich second-generation heir and deceived my feelings!"

When she was eating lunch with Yang Xiaoli, Sun Xiaoxiao had already told her about this incident.

At the time, Yang Xiaoli had even felt sorry for Sun Xiaoxiao.

Her silly cousin was just too easy to deceive.

She had actually given up a boyfriend with a decent family background for a guy who worked at a car wash.

Yang Xiaoli had even helped Sun Xiaoxiao brainstorm ways to see if she could get back together with her boyfriend.

But she hadn't expected the swindler Sun Xiaoxiao spoke of to be Lin Yi?

How could this be...

Hadn't Lin Yi just bought Li Tong a Cartier watch yesterday?

Yang Xiaoli tugged at Sun Xiaoxiao's arm.

"Xiaoxiao, are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"

The other students also looked confused.

They wondered, how could Lin Yi have any entanglement with Yang Xiaoli's cousin?

Seeing that everyone didn't believe her, Sun Xiaoxiao quickly took out her phone and found the screenshots from the school forum.

As well as the chat history between herself and Lin Yi.

"Sis, look for yourself, it's him, right!"

"I could recognize him even if he turned to ash!"

The gossiping students also curiously leaned in to look at Sun Xiaoxiao's phone along with Yang Xiaoli.

"Haha! Lin Yi! I didn't expect you to be such a poser!"

Zhou Zhengyi suddenly seemed to come back to life, fully recharged.

He had finally found an opportunity to make Lin Yi embarrass himself in front of everyone!

And judging by the chat history between Lin Yi and Sun Xiaoxiao, Lin Yi was just acting like a big shot when he couldn't afford it.

He had absolutely no money!

Everything was just an act!

Including that watch he gave Li Tong!

"Tongtong, why don't you return that watch to Lin Yi?"

"Who knows where he got the money to buy that watch."

"Don't end up getting yourself into trouble!"

"What if the money he used to buy the watch was embezzled from his car wash boss?"

"When his boss finds out, he'll definitely come to hold someone accountable!"

Zhou Zhengyi took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.

Hearing Zhou Zhengyi say this, although Li Tong still believed in Lin Yi, she couldn't help but waver a little.

She had indeed heard from Guan Zhixue before that Lin Yi was a penniless orphan.

She had even advised Guan Zhixue to break up with Lin Yi quickly because of this.

But how did Lin Yi suddenly become so rich right after breaking up with Guan Zhixue?

And he kept going out to buy luxury goods every few days.

He had bought three designer bags alone.

It looked a lot like that kind of revenge spending after being triggered.

Could it be... that the money Lin Yi spent really came from illegitimate sources?

But if that were really the case... why would he buy such expensive things to give to her?

At the end of the day, the two of them were at most just friends.

By giving her this watch, Lin Yi didn't gain any benefits at all.

What was he after?

Li Tong felt this simply couldn't be explained.

By this time, Li Tong had already developed a crush on Lin Yi.

So emotionally, she subconsciously preferred to believe in Lin Yi.

Su Ming, who was on the side, believed Zhou Zhengyi's deduction more.

Although she wouldn't hold any prejudice against Lin Yi just because he was an orphan.

But in this society, without the support of family, at the age of eighteen or nineteen, it was completely impossible to have so much money on one's own.

At first, Su Ming had thought Lin Yi was some kind of investment or business genius, perhaps possessing commercial intuition beyond the average person.

But combined with the current situation, it seemed she had overthought it.

Regarding this behavior of Lin Yi, Su Ming found it very despicable.

It's fine if you're poor, but at least you should be an upright person!

What's the point of engaging in such shady behavior!

Su Ming hated people who had no substance but still used tricks to show off.

Su Ming: Favorability - 10 points

Su Ming: Favorability - 10 points

Su Ming: Favorability - 10 points

Current Favorability: 0 points.

Hearing the system's prompt, Lin Yi rolled his eyes three times.

Is this school beauty really that realistic?

Her favorability hit rock bottom right after hearing others call him a pauper.

Really, changing her attitude is as easy as flipping a page...

Li Tong is still better, she's still holding steady at 70 points with no change.

Hey! Right!

A sudden flash of inspiration hit Lin Yi.

The system rules state that once favorability reaches over 50 points, for every 1 point increase, he can receive a reward of 1 point.

Then if he lets Li Tong's favorability drop first and then raises it again, couldn't he repeatedly farm points?

Lin Yi felt he had seemingly mastered some amazing trick.

This is much easier than binding a new person and working himself to death to raise favorability!

Thinking of this, Lin Yi felt secretly happy.

He composed his emotions and put on a "break the jar, let it shatter" look.

"Alright, I won't pretend anymore, I'm laying my cards on the table."

"I am a swindler."

"Say whatever you want."

Lin Yi spread his hands and shrugged at the crowd.

Seeing Lin Yi's slightly roguish look, a trace of disappointment flashed in Li Tong's heart.

But at the same time, another voice in Li Tong's heart was frantically brainwashing her.

"Lin Yi must be saying this out of spite... I don't believe he would deceive me..."

"He must not be that kind of person..."

"It can't be..."

Even so, Li Tong still uncontrollably felt a little disappointed in Lin Yi.

Li Tong: Favorability - 10 points

Current Favorability: 60 points

It only dropped by 10 points?

Lin Yi found it a bit hard to believe.

He had thought a gold-digger like Li Tong would at least drop below 50 points.

He didn't expect... Li Tong would still remain above the threshold for infatuation.

It seems that once a girl is infatuated, she won't easily lose interest.

Hearing Lin Yi admit it himself, Zhou Zhengyi immediately jumped out.

"Listen everyone! He admitted it!"

"I knew from the start he wasn't a good person!"

"Using unscrupulous means to chase girls, do you think this will make Tongtong fall in love with you?"

"What a joke!"

Zhou Zhengyi had the look of a villain who had gotten his way, taking the opportunity to kick someone while they were down.

Completely forgetting that he was the actual scumbag who pretended to be rich and flirted around everywhere.

The surrounding students also looked at Lin Yi with contempt.

Just at this moment, a brand new Porsche panamera stopped at the villa entrance.

Porsche salesperson Yin Na opened the car door and got out, confirming the villa's house number.

"That's right, this is the place!"
