Reborn to outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight

Chapter 428: Chapter 428: Make Him Pay for the Rest of His Life

After the meal, Lin Zhiyi originally planned to pay the bill while heading to the restroom.

After all, it wasn’t easy for Sister Zheng to run a business alone.

But the cashier said, “The gentleman who came with you has already paid.”

Lin Zhiyi was slightly taken aback and turned back toward the table, but Gong Chen was nowhere to be seen.

She looked around and walked over, just as everyone else was getting up.

She quickly said, “Let me send you all a little thank-you red envelope. Thanks for today.”

Liao Yi waved his phone. “No need, someone already gave it. The boss is generous, so… we’ll head out now. I’ll grab a cab back to the hotel myself later.”

As he spoke, Liao Yi didn’t even give Lin Zhiyi a chance to reply and pulled a staff member along before bolting.

Lin Zhiyi still didn’t see any sign of Gong Chen.

Sister Zheng pointed at a silhouette standing tall outside the window. “He said he’ll wait for you outside. Go on.”

Lin Zhiyi hesitated. “Sister Zheng, actually…”

“Zhiyi, life is too short. Look at my late husband; he used to say he’d save up to get us a big house. And what happened? He’s gone now, and everything we planned is gone too. The morning he left, I even had a spat with him.”

Sister Zheng’s husband had been hit by a bus while delivering food. He’d died on the spot.

How could there not be regrets?

Lin Zhiyi didn’t say anything more. She bid farewell and walked out of the restaurant.
