"What’s going on? ng Lei, what happened to you? What did Ma Ming do to you?"
"There’s a strong sll of gunpowder here—what happened between you two?"
"Ma Ming is a pretty decent guy—how co he’s being hypocritical now?"
"You’re all classmates; ng Lei, you’re being a bit too harsh, aren’t you?"
"..."
Classmates began to join in droves, lining up to watch the drama unfold. They were incredibly curious about what had transpired between the two.
As you know, since graduating, the college group chat had rarely seen any activity. It was almost a dead group.
But because of ng Lei’s remarks, the activity in the group chat soared. Many classmates who had been lurking finally showed up.
Not long after, Ma Ming saw the series of questions ng Lei had posted and replied in the chat, "Let explain what happened."
"Here’s the deal: ng Lei owes eighteen yuan, and he hasn’t paid back yet—he even blocked ."
"So I sued him."
"The trial is in four days at the Yangcheng Court. If any of you are interested, you can co and sit in on the trial. There are plenty of seats for observers."
After he explained the situation, the previously lively chat suddenly fell silent. They all went back to lurking, seemingly digesting this sensational news.
Seeing this, ng Lei exploded with anger again. He angrily retorted in the chat, "Guys, co judge this—suing a classmate over eighteen yuan, is that reasonable?"
"Four years of friendship as classmates, is that worth less than eighteen yuan?"
"If I had borrowed eighteen yuan from you and hadn’t paid it back, I would’ve just laughed it off. I certainly wouldn’t have made a fuss!"
After firing off these ssages, he kept staring at the group chat, waiting to see the classmates rise up against Ma Ming.
Suing a classmate over eighteen yuan... It’s downright insane. What Ma Ming is doing is simply inhuman!
However, a few minutes later, the classmates seed to have digested the drama and started to speak up.
"ng Lei talks like it’s so easy, but who can actually borrow eighteen yuan from you? When I was broke and needed bus fare in college, you wouldn’t even lend two yuan."
"To be fair, suing over eighteen yuan is unnecessary. I lent him 200 yuan a few years back and haven’t said anything. Just consider the money I lent thrown to the dogs."
"If it wasn’t for Ma Ming, I almost forgot. @ng Lei, when will you return the 288 yuan you owe ?"
"You guys have all lent ng Lei money? He just borrowed 2,000 yuan from yesterday..."
"..."
In the group chat, these classmates seed to have awakened their dormant mories. They started digging up old debts. The chorus for repaynts grew louder.
Seizing this opportunity, they began to collectively demand repaynts. So had lent a few dozen yuan, so a few hundred, and others one or two thousand yuan.
Even one female classmate claid she had lent ng Lei 20,000 yuan several years ago and he hadn’t paid it back yet!
"@ng Lei, if you’re going to pay back the money, please also return ours. It’s been several years now, and with inflation, the money has devalued. We won’t even charge you interest."
"@ng Lei, you still owe a few dozen yuan. Isn’t it about ti you paid it back? You promised to return it in a couple of days; now it’s been two years."
"If it weren’t for Ma Ming bringing this up, I really would have forgotten. Back in college, I paid your internet fee of 100 yuan, and you never paid back."
"On graduation day, you said you had no money in your card and asked to buy you a train ticket, but you never transferred the money to ."
"..."
Every classmate’s mory suddenly beca unprecedentedly clear.
This sudden turn of events left ng Lei dumbfounded. He frowned and gulped nervously.
Have I... have I really owed that much money before?
His mory was very vague. He didn’t rember these things.
It was only after these classmates ntioned them that he vaguely recalled there might have been such incidents.
But now he was clearly the one being sued. Yet these classmates were only concerned about their own interests, completely ignoring his plight. This truly chilled his heart.
Forget classmates like these! And this group? I’m better off leaving it!
Watching the ssages in the group chat, his face flushed red with anger, and he left the group chat in a huff.
