Zhang Yi walked out of his house, greeted by a peaceful scene outside filled with earthly joys and contentment. Many parents were playing with their children in the square of the community, their faces adorned with happy smiles. However, Zhang Yi knew that all of this would turn into nothingness in just one month.
He briskly walked out of the community, not far from which was a Michelin three-star Western restaurant. A meal there would cost at least five to six thousand yuan, a luxury Zhang Yi had always refrained from indulging in. But now, he didn't care. Having been reborn, he felt the need to celebrate!
Upon entering the restaurant, Zhang Yi found a window seat and ordered the most expensive dishes along with a bottle of Lafite Rothschild red wine. This extravagant meal cost him fifty thousand yuan. Even the waiters in the restaurant looked at him with ambiguous eyes, thinking he must be a wealthy second generation. Otherwise, how could an ordinary person afford such an expensive meal?
Zhang Yi paid no attention to what others thought. When the table full of delicious food was served, he began to eat voraciously. Perhaps it was because he had endured six months of a post-apocalyptic world, but eating such delicious food now moved him almost to tears.
His eating habits became somewhat ferocious, attracting discussions among the surrounding diners. But Zhang Yi paid no heed. After all, in the face of an apocalypse, people could even kneel down and kowtow for a pack of instant noodles. At that time, all civilization and morality would turn into bubbles.
While Zhang Yi was enjoying his meal in the restaurant, a woman passing by outside stopped in her tracks. She had long flowing hair, exquisite makeup, wore Gucci high heels, and carried an LV bag on her arm. This woman was none other than Fang Yuqing, who had caused Zhang Yi's death in his previous life.
Beside her was her close friend Li Caining. Both of them couldn't help but glance inside the Michelin three-star restaurant as they walked past. They had always desired such high-end luxury places, but their finances didn't allow them to splurge there.
However, this didn't stop them from casting scrutinizing glances inside, hoping to find a high-quality wealthy individual they could hook. To their surprise, Fang Yuqing saw Zhang Yi inside, enjoying a table full of top-notch food.
"Isn't that Zhang Yi? How can he afford to eat here?" Fang Yuqing exclaimed in surprise.
Li Caining, too, was astonished, covering her mouth. "Zhang Yi, is he really this wealthy?"
As she spoke, she glanced at Fang Yuqing with a hint of ambiguity and then chuckled, "Yuqing, you're so lucky! The guy who's chasing you, turns out he's a hidden rich second generation."
"Look at all the food on his table, it must cost fifty to sixty thousand yuan. How can an ordinary person afford such an expensive meal!"
Li Caining's tone was somewhat envious. She knew that Zhang Yi had been pursuing Fang Yuqing for two and a half years. However, Fang Yuqing had always kept him hanging, neither rejecting him nor accepting his advances.
Fang Yuqing was a complete gold digger, believing she could marry a high-quality rich second generation and become a lady of leisure. But she couldn't bear to let go of Zhang Yi, who was a petty bourgeois with a car and a house in Tianhai City. So, all along, Fang Yuqing had treated Zhang Yi as a backup.
Her principle for backups was simple: don't initiate, don't reject, and don't take responsibility.
Seeing Zhang Yi enjoying a luxurious meal worth tens of thousands of yuan alone made Fang Yuqing start to doubt.
"Could it be that Zhang Yi is actually a hidden rich second generation?"
Fang Yuqing propped her chin and began to ponder. The more she thought, the more she felt it was possible.
"Right, isn't this type of person common in TV dramas?"
"They're clearly wealthy but pretend to be ordinary in search of true love."
Even Fang Yuqing started to believe her own words, her eyes lighting up. If this were true, she could save herself a lot of effort.
After all, Zhang Yi had been pursuing her, and she believed that if she just nodded, he would immediately propose to her.
Li Caining also chimed in, "Yuqing, let's go in and find Zhang Yi!"
Actually, she had her eyes on the delicious food on that table. This was a Michelin three-star restaurant; ordinary people would never have the chance to taste such delicacies in their lifetime.
Fang Yuqing hesitated for a moment but then shook her head. "This isn't good. It might make him think I'm a gold digger."
"Let's do this. We'll wait outside and pretend we coincidentally ran into him."
Fang Yuqing wasn't a fool; she wouldn't lower herself for just one meal. Even if Zhang Yi was wealthy, she would maintain her goddess demeanor. Only then, when the two of them were together, could she control Zhang Yi and make him continue to be her lapdog.
So, th
