Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 690 Wealth and status depend on fate

"Zhang Wei".

Nanfeng paused for a moment, then kindly reminded him, "If you just want to try your luck with a few scratch-off tickets, then that's fine."

"But if you're thinking of getting your 50,000 yuan back, I suggest you just give up and go to sleep."

Nanfeng said seriously, "Whether it's a scratch-off ticket or a lottery, winning is an extremely low probability event. You can't assume you can win just because this extremely low probability event happens to you."

"I know."

Zhang Wei nodded vigorously, seemingly agreeing with Nanfeng's idea, but what he actually said was, "But I've always been unlucky since I was a child. I've never even won a 'buy one get one free' drink."

"Now I'm watching helplessly as 50,000 yuan slips through my fingers. I'm heartbroken!"

Nanfeng asked Zhang Wei, "So you think this 50,000 yuan should be yours?"

"Of course not."

Zhang Wei looked pained, but still said firmly, "Since you paid for the gas yourself, then that free scratch-off lottery ticket should also be yours."

"It is me, it is me..."

As he spoke, he began to close his eyes tightly and beat his chest and stamp his feet.

"Nanfeng, you're right. I've already paid the wedding gift money, so why should I save a little money on gas?"

My heart is breaking!!!

Xiaoxian, Ziqiao, and Guangu nodded in agreement, their faces showing expressions of unbearable pain.

Let alone Zhang Wei, who values ​​money more than life itself, even if the three of them were to put themselves in Zhang Wei's shoes, they would still be moved to tears and heartbroken.

The most painful thing in the world is not never having encountered an opportunity, but having opportunities raining down on you, and then you holding an umbrella... and even the splashing water hits your friends next to you.

I lost 50,000 yuan, and Nanfeng won 50,000 yuan. That's a total of 100,000 yuan!

One hundred thousand yuan!!!

"Alright."

Nanfeng slapped Zhang Wei with a look of disdain: "You're supposed to be the toughest guy in Love Apartment, stop crying like Teacher Zeng!"

"hiss……"

Xiaoxian looked displeased upon hearing this: "What did I do now?"

Guan Gu added, "Zhang Wei is just heartbroken right now, but when you realized Nanfeng had won the lottery, you buried your face in my arms and said you didn't want to live anymore."

"I, I was..."

Zeng Xiaoxian's voice trailed off: "I did that for comedic effect, don't you guys understand?"

Ziqiao smiled dismissively upon hearing this: "There are only a few of us here. Who are you trying to make look funny for?"

"Also, Teacher Zeng, just tell me whether you're going to gamble or not?"

Upon hearing about the betting, Zhang Wei immediately stopped wailing and raised his hands, shouting, "Me! Me! Me! I want to join too!"

OK.

Ziqiao said, "In that case, we won't take advantage of you, Teacher Zeng."

"If you win, we'll each buy you fifty scratch-off lottery tickets."

"On the other hand, if we win, you only need to buy fifty scratch-off tickets and we can split them among ourselves."

"Wait a minute!"

Zeng Xiaoxian's eyes widened: "Zhang Wei hasn't even said which side he's on yet, how come you've already set the rules of the game all by yourself?"

"Oh."

Ziqiao laughed out loud, and he opened his arms with great confidence, as if he were a king embracing the whole world: "Do I need to ask which side Zhang Wei will stand on?"

"Of course he'll side with the winner, and I'm the man who's guaranteed victory."

"No!"

Ziqiao boasted, "I am the myth that will never fail."

"Forehead……"

Zhang Wei pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, I was just spacing out and didn't hear what you were betting on at all."

"Hiss... Zhang Wei, you son of a bitch!"

Ziqiao gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at Zhang Wei: "I've already put on this act, and you're not going to help me cover for it, are you?"

Zhang Wei looked at Zi Qiao with a puzzled expression: "But I really don't know what you guys are betting on."

Guan Gu leaned close to Zhang Wei's ear and briefly recounted the bet between Zeng Xiaoxian and Zi Qiao.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei's expression changed instantly. He hurriedly ran to Zi Qiao's side and held his hand tightly with deep affection.

"Ziqiao, I was wrong."

"You are electricity, you are light, you are the only myth!"

"I only love you, you are my superstar!"

Zhang Wei gazed at Zi Qiao with deep affection, his entire face filled with admiration.

Ziqiao nodded in satisfaction.

He squinted and looked down at Zhang Wei, saying, "Pao, I'm very pleased that you chose the right side."

"But what you just said was so disgusting, so please get out of here right now and let me throw up."

"OK."

Zhang Wei let go and returned to his original position, and Zi Qiao immediately began to dry heave.

After a while, Ziqiao wiped his mouth and said to Zeng Xiaoxian triumphantly, "See? Teacher Zeng, this is the judgment of the masses."

"So, do you still dare to gamble?"

Zeng Xiaoxian snorted. If he backed down at a time like this, he'd really be shameless: "Tch, fine, let's bet! Who's afraid of who!"

"very good."

Ziqiao turned to Nanfeng and Guangu: "Do either of you want to join?"

Nanfeng and Guangu shook their heads; they weren't very interested in such sure-win bets or scratch-off tickets.

"In that case, the two of you will be the witnesses of our bet."

Ziqiao solemnly reminded them, "You must shoulder the responsibilities of notaries this time, and you must not repeat what happened to Meijia."

"Don't worry, the two of us are the most reliable."

Nanfeng patted his chest and assured Ziqiao.

Seeing that the notary was in place, Ziqiao and Zeng Xiaoxian exchanged a glance and simultaneously reached out to give each other a high five.

"It's a deal!"

Seeing that Ziqiao and Xiaoxian had made a bet and Zhang Wei had returned to normal, Nanfeng got up to go see Yumo, but Zhang Wei grabbed her arm.

"south wind."

Zhang Wei smiled ingratiatingly: "About those ten scratch-off tickets..."

Nanfeng raised an eyebrow: "Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about the scratch-off lottery tickets, but do you have to be in such a hurry?"

Zhang Wei scratched his head awkwardly: "I'm just afraid that my good luck will only last for today, and I don't want to waste it like this."

"If you're really lucky today, wouldn't it be a waste to use that luck on scratch-off lottery tickets..."

Nanfeng was about to continue his sarcastic attack, but then he changed his mind and said, "But it's not a big problem. It's just a few scratch cards. If you want to test your luck, go ahead."

"It's just that you're not the only one being tested; it's all of us doing it together."

Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment upon hearing this: "All of us together?"

"That's right!"

……

boom!

3603, Nanfeng tossed a thick stack of scratch-off lottery tickets onto the coffee table.

He clapped his hands and said to everyone in the living room with a nonchalant expression, "This is the scratch-off lottery ticket I won today. It costs ten yuan a ticket, and the highest prize is 500,000 yuan."

"There are 140 scratch-off tickets in total, with a total price of 1,400."

"Everyone, please choose ten cards. Wealth and fortune are up to fate."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the apartment looked up at Nanfeng with puzzled expressions.

They initially thought that Nanfeng's urgent call for everyone to come to 3603, including Xiao Hei and Zhenzi downstairs, meant that something terrible must have happened.

So all he did was get everyone to come and get scratch-off lottery tickets?

Yifei said directly, "Nanfeng, we know you won 50,000 yuan today, but you don't need to buy so many scratch-off tickets at once."

"Scratch-off tickets are just like regular lotteries; they're all scams to rip you off."

It's strange, really. Yifei clearly despises this kind of money-making scam, yet she insists that she can make money by investing in stocks...

Perhaps this is the confidence of a master?

Zhanbo also advised Nanfeng, "From a probability perspective, the expectation of getting a positive return by buying scratch-off tickets and lottery tickets is extremely low."

"Not to mention that there are too many factors involved in the manipulation of scratch-off tickets and lotteries, and the returns cannot be simply estimated using probability theory."

"Nanfeng, you can't think that winning big with scratch-off tickets is easy just because you won on your first try. That's a classic case of survivor bias."

Yu Mo tugged at Nan Feng's hand and said with some concern, "Nan Feng, you haven't gone crazy from winning the lottery, have you?"

Nanfeng smiled at Yumo: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"It's just 50,000 yuan, not 50 million or 500 million. How could it possibly tempt me?"

Apart from Wan Yu, everyone fell silent instantly.

Although, given Nanfeng's financial resources and earning power, there's absolutely no problem with him saying that.

But... why does saying that make you want to punch him so much?

"Don't overthink it."

Nanfeng explained, "I bought so many scratch-off tickets mainly because I promised Zhang Wei I would give him ten."

"Since I've already given them away, I feel bad about showing favoritism. Let's all have some fun together."

"And also..."

Nanfeng paused for a moment, then continued, "As you all know, I never pay attention to scratch-off tickets or lottery tickets, but I never expected to win after getting a free one."

"Since everyone knows this thing is unreliable, I want to see just how unreliable these scratch-off tickets really are."

"oh."

Meijia suddenly realized, "So Nanfeng, you wanted to use us as test subjects. What if we get pregnant...?"

"Wealth and status are determined by fate, so what is rightfully ours will be ours."

Nanfeng said with a smile, "If you guys are capable of winning 500,000, do you think I'd snatch the scratch-off lottery ticket back?"

"I think it's great."

Xiao Hei grinned and said, "You guys never think of me when there's something good, but this time you remembered to drag me and Sadako into it."

He gave Nanfeng a thumbs up: "Okay, Nanfeng, good brother, if I win the lottery, I'll share half with you!"

Nanfeng glanced at Xiao Hei: "Are you sure?"

"Um... never mind."

Xiao Hei smiled sheepishly, knowing that his chances of winning the grand prize were extremely low.

But... what if?

If I were to win, the money wouldn't really matter to me; the main thing would be the thrill of showing off!

Xiao Hei, Mei Jia, Zhang Wei, Zi Qiao, You You, and Xiao Xian exchanged glances, and the same thought arose in their minds at the same time.

Since there must be lucky people in this world who win big prizes by buying scratch-off lottery tickets, is it possible that one of those lucky people could be me?

Nanfeng observed the reactions of everyone around him, and each person's reaction roughly matched his psychological expectations of them.

Very well, let's see if reality will teach everyone a good lesson, or if Lady Luck will give someone an unexpected surprise.

Nanfeng extended his hand and said, "Please."

The group exchanged glances and slowly reached out to touch the scratch-off lottery tickets on the coffee table.
