Episode 28: Overbearing with a hint of vulnerability!

  After the transaction was successful, Li Yan's account suddenly had a huge amount of one billion funds, but Li Yan didn't feel too happy about it. Because after buying that mountain and river villa worth 960 million, there wouldn't be much left.

  "Rumble, rumble..." Just then, his stomach couldn't help but protest. Li Yan subconsciously pulled out his phone and checked the time, only to find it was already past 12:30. He quickly turned around and walked briskly towards a nearby street.

  Originally, having made such a big deal, Fangyuan and Lin Xincheng wanted to invite him to dinner, but Li Yan still declined. Firstly, the two parties were not familiar with each other, and secondly, Li Yan was still thinking about how he could successfully subdue the dragon beast, so he did not accept the invitation.

  However, this statement is reversible. Humans are made of iron and food is steel; if they don't eat for a meal, they will be so hungry that their heart will panic. Now that he has calmed down, even if Li Yan is an immortal who has scattered his mortal form, before reaching the realm of transcending the seven heavenly tribulations and becoming an immortal, when it's time to eat, he still needs to eat.

  This flower and bird market belongs to a high-end commercial market, the surrounding streets are also of good grade, and the people who come and go are mostly legendary rich people. Therefore, there is no shortage of high-end restaurants around, with Chinese and Western styles, which can be described as diverse and complete in variety.

  "Love Memories, what a name... haha. Looks like this place is pretty high-end!" Li Yan stood at the entrance of a Western restaurant and took a glance around, but his current attire, which was a cheap and worn-out outfit from a street stall, made him look all the more shabby and out of place.

  Of course, with his identity, when was it that he couldn't enter any high-end restaurant on which planet? However, this person who had been reborn, used to be really poor, but now that he's become Li the Great Immortal, naturally it's a case of "the world is different after thirty years". Besides, nowadays he's already a billionaire, let alone going in for a meal, even if he went in every day, he still wouldn't run out of money.

  "What kind of flavor does Western cuisine have?" With doubts in his mind, Li Yan walked into the restaurant.

  As far as the eye can see, the tables in the restaurant are neat and tidy, with shiny cutlery and forks arranged neatly. The waiters are all elegant and refined, and the leader is a stunning foreign blonde girl with a perfect figure that leaves one's imagination running wild. It has to be said that this Western-style restaurant is different from the classical elegance pursued by Chinese restaurants. As soon as you enter, it gives people a sense of luxurious romance.

  "No wonder girls like to date in Western restaurants, it turns out there's this winding road." At this time, it was just lunchtime, and the restaurant was almost full, but fortunately, there was still an empty seat. Li Yan didn't pick and choose, and walked over to sit down directly.

  "Sir, what can I get for you?" A decent-looking waiter immediately walked up to Li Yan's side and asked politely. After all, it was a high-end restaurant, and the quality of the waiters was also relatively high, and they didn't have an attitude because of Li Yan's low-quality outfit.

  Li Yan didn't have much of an appetite, but his stomach was growling with hunger, so he randomly ordered some dishes and started devouring them quickly. The customers around him couldn't help but wrinkle their brows at the sight of his eating manners, and some even pointed and whispered to each other, seemingly calling him a "fool" or "country bumpkin".

  "What are you looking at?" Li Yan slammed the knife and fork in his hand on the table, glaring around him. Perhaps it was his sharp outfit that had a certain killing power, and with one angry shout, he actually intimidated all these so-called white-collar workers, who immediately lowered their heads to eat, not daring to make another sound.

  Isn't it just a white-collar job? What's so great about it, I'm still a billionaire now! Li Yan cursed silently in his heart and started eating and drinking on his own. However, he seemed to have realized that his previous appearance of being starved to death was indeed a bit unsightly. Adding that he had already eaten seven-tenths full by this time, so he pretended to be elegant and refined.

  Even so, his eating appearance still attracts those customers who come in and find no seats pointing at him, especially some men who think they are rich and women who think they are beautiful. However, when they see Li Yan's outfit, they can only hold back and give up. In this world, there is a saying that is correct: barefoot people are not afraid of those wearing shoes. With Li Yan's appearance, he looks like a barefoot person, so those who think they are wearing shoes dare not provoke him easily.

  At this moment, another couple entered the restaurant. The man was already middle-aged and looked quite unsightly. However, beneath the thick layer of foundation on the woman's face, a hint of youthfulness could be seen. Judging from her age, she was definitely under 20 years old and should still be a high school or college student...

  "This world..." Li Yan couldn't help but shake his head, just about to call for the bill when he saw the female waitress who had greeted him earlier hurry over with an apologetic expression: "Sir, could you do me a favor?"

  Li Yan originally wanted to settle the bill and leave, but upon hearing this, he suddenly sat still in his chair. In fact, he had already noticed that the male and female customers and this waiter were whispering something on one side, so of course, he also knew what the purpose of this female waiter coming to him was.

  "You said." Li Yan looked at the waitress in front of him with interest, and suddenly realized that he hadn't noticed before, but now it seemed that this little girl was really quite pretty.

  "Sir, can you give up your current seat? I'll exchange it for another one." The waitress was probably encountering such a situation for the first time, and after saying this, her entire face turned bright red.

  "Why?" Li Yan looked at the waitress with a calm face and asked indifferently, "Don't you think I can afford to pay for the meal?"

  "No, no, don't get me wrong, listen to me," the waitress's face turned red as she hurriedly said: "There are two of them, but only one of you... please understand."

  "Is it because of them?" Li Yan looked at the female waitress with a pleading expression, and immediately smiled: "Well, you tell them to come over and talk to me themselves."

  "Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!" The waitress heard Li Yan's words and suddenly smiled on her face, and hurriedly walked towards the couple.

  At once, the middle-aged man sneered with a slight smile, secretly ridiculing: This kid's entire outfit probably doesn't add up to 200 bucks, yet he still dares to learn from others and eat Western food?

  Seeing the couple come to their table, Li Yan couldn't help but chuckle and said: "What makes you think I should give up my seat? You've got to give me a reason, right?"

  As soon as she heard this, the female waitress who had just been smiling suddenly changed her expression.

  "Speak up, how much do you want?" The middle-aged man spoke calmly, but his tone was full of a rogue's air.

  Li Yan smiled at the time: "Then let's see how much you can give?"

  "Slap!" The middle-aged man slammed a stack of red, crisp banknotes on the table: "I'll give you 1,000 yuan, get out as far as you can."

  "Haha... As expected, sir is quite generous." Li Yan smiled and rubbed the 1,000 yuan in his hand, saying: "Since you're so generous, I won't be polite. You just agree to help me pay the bill, and I'll give up my seat to you."

  "A gesture." The middle-aged man's domineering wave of his hand was accompanied by a command to the waiter beside him: "Put his bill on my account."

  "In that case, I'll let you have the seat." Li Yan chuckled and immediately stood up, walking towards the service counter on the side.

  Those onlookers who wanted to watch the excitement all secretly sighed in disappointment, originally thinking they would get to see a good show, but in the end, money still emerged victorious, making one unable to help but silently lament, this world...

  Not long after, the middle-aged man waved his hand and called over the waiter, saying: "Pay the bill!"

  "Hello sir, that'll be 121,700 yuan." The waitress smiled as she presented the bill.

  "What?! This time, the middle-aged man's overbearing side was exposed. "Are you kidding me? I just had a meal, how could I have eaten so much?! Is this a black-hearted restaurant?!"

  The woman also chimed in: "Yes, black-hearted store, be careful or we'll report you to the police!"

  Upon hearing this, the waitress couldn't help but frown, but she wasn't the new little sister from before. She immediately said: "If you don't want to pay the bill, that's fine, but our restaurant will send the bill directly to the police station. You can just wait for the public security bureau to issue a wanted notice for you."

  "Hold on..." The middle-aged man couldn't help but furrow his brow, "I don't mind paying the bill, but you should at least let me take a look at it."

  "This is the bill." The waitress immediately put the bill on the table.

  The middle-aged man checked the bill, and the first few items were quite normal, adding up to only 1,700 yuan. However, the last item made him stunned, as if he had discovered a new continent. He hurriedly said: "What Lafite? I've never ordered these wines before. You must have brought me the wrong bill."

  "Is that so?" The waitress took the bill and examined it carefully, then said: "Sir, this is your bill. You forgot, earlier you took Mr.'s seat and said you would help him pay the bill. These ten bottles of '96 Lafite are what he ordered, one bottle for 12,000, ten bottles for 120,000. That's correct."

  "What?!" Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man was stunned on the spot...
