1251 Words
Emily Clarke's attitude towards Fang Yuqing was very cold. Fang Yuqing and Lin Cainin also noticed that something was off. However, after mistakenly believing that Emily Clarke was a hidden rich second-generation, the two of them not only didn't get angry because of Emily Clarke's attitude, but instead, they actively approached him.
"Hey, Emily Clarke, were you just eating at this restaurant?" Lin Cainin casually asked.
Emily Clarke frowned slightly. This woman wasn't any better than Fang Yuqing, and she had a share in the food that had caused him trouble and even cost him his life.
"Yeah," Emily Clarke replied coldly, then with his hands in his pockets, he turned and walked towards the supermarket.
Fang Yuqing and Lin Cainin quickly followed.
"Emily Clarke, where are you going?" Fang Yuqing asked with a gentle smile.
"To the supermarket," Emily Clarke's voice remained cold, still with a hint of impatience.
If it weren't for wanting her to experience the despair of the apocalypse, Emily Clarke would have had the urge to kill her.
Fang Yuqing gestured to Lin Cainin, hurriedly saying, "It's so coincidental, we're also planning to buy some things. It's on our way!"
Emily Clarke had already figured it out by now. They must have seen him eating at the Michelin three-star restaurant and mistakenly thought he was some kind of hidden rich second-generation. That's why they suddenly showed such enthusiasm towards him.
He couldn't be bothered to say anything to them and headed straight to the supermarket.
But the more he did this, the more Fang Yuqing and Lin Cainin were convinced that he was a rich second-generation. Otherwise, why would he be so domineering?
The two followed Emily Clarke, with Fang Yuqing even walking beside him, sometimes deliberately reaching out to touch him. When Emily Clarke looked at her, she would shyly turn her head away, her face blushing as if she were very shy.
Emily Clarke sneered inwardly. What a skilled actress. If she were to act in a movie, she would definitely win an Oscar for Best Actress.
Emily Clarke entered the supermarket, grabbed a shopping cart, and went inside. Fang Yuqing and Lin Cainin also hurriedly pushed their carts to follow.
"Emily Clarke, were you eating with someone?" Fang Yuqing asked with a smile.
Emily Clarke headed to the food section and replied coldly, "Can't I eat alone?"
Fang Yuqing's eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "Oh, no, that's not what I meant. It's just that the food there is quite expensive, so I thought you were treating someone to a meal!"
Lin Cainin couldn't help but ask, "Emily Clarke, your monthly salary is only a bit over ten thousand, right? This meal would cost you half a year's salary."
"It seems like your family gives you quite a bit of money," Fang Yuqing said, glaring at Lin Cainin.
Stupid, how can you ask such a question casually! As a top-tier green tea, the most important rule is: talk about feelings with rich people and talk about money with poor people.
Lin Cainin realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly tried to make up for it.
"Haha, I was just joking. Actually, we're all good friends, so money really doesn't matter."
But Emily Clarke didn't even bother to acknowledge them. He went to the food section, looking at the shelves full of goods, feeling like he had entered a treasure trove.
In his previous life, he had experienced the feeling of eating instant noodles for two days. So, when it came to food, he had an infinite desire in his heart.
Emily Clarke went straight to the shelves and put all the food into the shopping cart without hesitation. Sausages, instant noodles, self-heating hot pot, and seasonings, he bought a large quantity of everything.
This move left Fang Yuqing and Lin Cainin stunned.
"Emily Clarke, why... why are you buying so much food? Are you going camping?" Fang Yuqing asked.
"Yeah," Emily Clarke replied indifferently.
But Lin Cainin became suspicious and whispered to Fang Yuqing, "Would a rich second-generation go camping?"
Fang Yuqing also had some doubts, but thinking about the Michelin three-star meal, she didn't want to give up the idea that Emily Clarke was a rich second-generation.
She ran up to Emily Clarke and asked eagerly, "Do you need any help?"
With free labor available, Emily Clarke had no reason not to use it. And seeing Fang Yuqing's innocent smile, a vengeful thought arose in Emily Clarke's mind.
He wanted Fang Yuqing to know that he had stocked up on a lot of supplies. And when the apocalypse came and she came begging for help, he would mercilessly reject her!
A smirk appeared on Emily Clarke's lips. "Then help me push the cart!"
Fang Yuqing quickly nodded in agreement.
Emily Clarke also asked Lin Cainin to push a cart back. Although both of them were full of doubts, they still obeyed his orders.
Emily Clarke bought a lot of food that could be stored, including instant noodles, sausages, as well as some bacon and canned goods. He also used another cart for fresh meat, fruits, vegetables, and some live fish.
He wanted to test whether his spatial ability had any special effects on storing fresh food.
The three carts were filled to the brim, and Emily Clarke handed the cart filled with meat and canned goods specifically to the two women to push.
It must have weighed at least four to five hundred pounds, making them sweat profusely.
Fang Yuqing complained, pouting, "Emily Clarke, why did you buy so much food? How many people are you planning to feed? Are you organizing an event and didn't tell me?"
Emily Clarke sneered and said, "The end of the world is coming soon, so I'm stocking up for survival."
Fang Yuqing thought Emily Clarke was just joking and said, "Oh, if you don't want to say, it's fine! Why make such jokes?"
"But since I helped you so much today, you have to treat me to a meal in return!" Fang Yuqing's eyes were full of implication.
She was hoping Emily Clarke would take her to the Michelin three-star restaurant for a meal.
A slight smile appeared on Emily Clarke's lips. "Sure, but I'm quite busy lately, so I don't have much time. How about next month?"
Fang Yuqing happily agreed, "Sure, it's a deal!"
Lin Cainin hurriedly joined in, "Great, let's go together, hehe!"
Just by helping push a cart, they could have a lavish meal. Of course, they were very happy.
Seeing Lin Cainin's lack of insight, Fang Yuqing glared at her again.
But Lin Cainin pretended not to see it.
Emily Clarke went to pay for the groceries, and this shopping trip cost him over ten thousand. He paid without batting an eyelid.
After all, in the apocalypse, the value of these supplies would increase by tens of thousands of times!
Because Emily Clarke bought a lot, the supermarket gladly lent him shopping carts to use.
Emily Clarke didn't hesitate to order the two women around, asking them to help push the groceries back home.
Although he had a car and could have
easily transported everything, he didn't want to waste free labor.
Although the two women complained about being tired, after Emily Clarke promised to treat them to a meal, they immediately regained their enthusiasm.
And so, the three of them pushed three carts full of supplies back to the residential area, attracting curious glances from passersby.
