This meal, though lavish, didn't last long. When Maggie anxiously drove from Chinatown with Erguotou, it was already over.
However, since the alcohol had arrived, it shouldn't go to waste.
Chou Ping opened the bottle, gesturing to Maggie, "Come here!"
"Sir, if you have any requests, I will fulfill them!"
"Oh, nothing, just wanted to give you a little wash, so you can face people decently in the future."
Before he finished speaking, Chou Ping poured the Erguotou directly onto Maggie's head, a small punishment for her contemptuous behavior. Maggie could only curse in her heart but dared not utter a word of protest.
Chou Ping returned the forty thousand to Lucy directly. Lucy initially resisted, but Chou Ping insisted. She reluctantly accepted the unexpected windfall, becoming a small rich woman. Lucy also resigned from her waitress job.
Maggie, smelling of alcohol, watched the two leave with a mixture of resentment and envy. Once outside, Chou Ping walked straight to his sports car.
Seeing Chou Ping driving a luxurious Lamborghini, Lucy was again astonished, covering her mouth in surprise. She couldn't comprehend how much money this man from the East had.
Indeed, the story is quite fantastical. How an ordinary American girl, in another dimension, experienced a profound and unforgettable love with this person from China, to the extent that he crossed through time and space to find her. It's the kind of tale that could undoubtedly captivate many if turned into a movie.
As Chou Ping opened the car door, he noticed Lucy hadn't followed.
"Lucy?"
Lucy approached Chou Ping, full of anticipation. "Chou, can you tell me how we met in that other timeline?"
Seeing Lucy's entranced expression, Chou Ping sensed a strong affection.
"Ahem!"
Chou Ping cleared his throat a couple of times. He had casually made up this story, and he hadn't thought about the details.
"Well, actually, I met you when I came here to dine. At the first glance, I was attracted by your innocence and sincerity..."
"How did we start?" Lucy asked.
Chou Ping felt a bit overwhelmed by Lucy's earnest gaze. "I accidentally slipped, and you rushed to help me... Uh?"
As he spoke, Chou Ping raised his eyebrows, noticing two Ford cars at the street corner.
Ford cars were common in the United States, but these two were strange. The road didn't allow parking, and there were only three cars in total.
Besides Chou Ping's Lamborghini, the other two were these Fords.
Moreover, Chou Ping was sure he had seen these cars more than once. He had spotted the same car with the license plate ending in 727 when he left the casino.
Later, he saw it again when he picked up his car. Now, after more than an hour inside the restaurant, they were still there. The circumstances indicated these two cars had a problem, and Chou Ping had no doubt it was related to the casino.
Chou Ping smirked. It seemed the casino was unwilling to let him leave with his winnings so easily.
"Lucy, let's get in the car first."
"Chou, where are we going next?"
Originally full of expectations for life, Lucy chose a job she didn't particularly like but with decent pay. She planned to work hard for a few years, find a lover, and start a family for an ordinary life.
However, Chou Ping, like an angel arranged by God, suddenly appeared, giving her both money and love. She wasn't fully prepared for having these two things, turning her, who had half her foot into the millionaire ranks, a bit confused.
"Lucy, how about I take you for a ride?"
"Huh?"
Lucy hadn't reacted yet, and Chou Ping had already opened the car door, pushing her into the car. After Lucy fastened her seat belt, Chou Ping started the car. Stepping on the gas pedal, the Lamborghini roared like a beast, turning into a red lightning bolt.
"Whoa!"
The strong acceleration made Lucy unable to help but let out an excited scream.
"Chou, are you driving too fast? It feels like we're on an airplane!"
Chou Ping looked through the rearview mirror; those two Ford cars were still closely following. A hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
"Lucy, do you believe time can restart?"
While talking, Chou Ping stepped on the gas again, and the speed had exceeded a hundred miles per hour.
"Ah, Chou, what are you talking about? Today is Saturday. Three days ago should be Wednesday, shouldn't it?"
"So, I asked you whether you believe time can restart because I've been living in the days between Friday and Saturday!"
"Chou, are you too excited? I think you might need to see a doctor." Lucy said with some concern.
Chou Ping grinned, feeling helpless. He had revealed this secret about the ability to restart time openly to Anderson and Lucy. Although they were strangers, their reactions were surprisingly similar, suggesting he needed to see a doctor.
"Haha, do you know why I have so much money?" Chou Ping changed the topic.
"Well, I guess you must be a business genius, like the founder of Facebook, having your own company at a young age!" Lucy blinked and said.
"Wrong!"
Lucy was a bit puzzled, then continued, "Then, you must have some special talent that helps you earn a lot of money!"
"Baby, besides my dick, I don't have any other special talents."
Lucy blushed a bit. She had experienced it personally, and he wasn't lying. Indeed, he had a special talent, and it was rock hard!
"Could you be a rich second-generation?"
"No, no, no!"
Lucy looked a bit confused. She couldn't figure out why Chou Ping was so wealthy.
"Are you buying lottery tickets?"
Chou Ping shook his head.
"Oh! I know, Chou, your parents must be officials in your hometown!"
Chou Ping trembled, almost losing control of the car. Did these foreigners think that the children of domestic officials in China were very rich?
"Lucy, you guessed wrong again. I won the seventeen million at the casino three days ago!"
Lucy's face turned incredulous. "Oh my God, Chou, what are you saying? Won seventeen million from the casino?"
Chou Ping nodded. "That's right. Check the rearview mirror and see if those two cars are still following. They are from the casino."
