"you are my lucky girl!"
The man is 26-year-old Chinese-born Zhiwei Zheng, who runs a Chinese restaurant in New Jersey with his family, and 21% of women, Jasmine Zheng, who met Zhiwei, while working at the restaurant, decided the relationship.
Zhiwei is a gambler by nature, often betting heavily on baccarat and having made a $2000 bet. Ten bet nine lost, however, after he and Jasmine confirmed the relationship, the turnaround appeared. Jasmine, who never played baccarat, watched Zhiwei bet for a long time, and she started betting on her own, or playing with Zhiwei. So, in January, they were in Atlantic gambling. Won $ five hundred thousand! Jasmine is Zhiwei's lucky god!
"Let's break up!"
The pair excitedly spread the winning gambling money and chips on the table, took photos and posted them on the Internet. Zhiwei also posted on Facebook: "it's finally done, sitting on five hundred thousand at the age of 26!" And the dazzling hair of a Rolex watch, wrote: "37,999 Rolex, is mine!"
The two men were excited and discussed sharing the five hundred thousand dollars equally. The dog blood thing also starts from this moment.
Jasmine thinks he won so much money for her boyfriend that he will cherish and love her even more. When the two gambling used Jasmine's membership card and all the tax registration under her name, out of trust and love in her boyfriend, on their way back to New Jersey, Jasmine was very relieved to put all the money in the Zhiwei bag. Since then, the money has been kept by her boyfriend and his family. And it was the beginning of Jasmine's pain.
After taking the money, the boyfriend started flirting with other girls, getting colder with Jasmine, Jasmine came to Zhiwei to question him, but Zhiwei said to her indifferently, "if you can't accept it, then let's break up." Zhiwei turned his face to have a new girlfriend, and completely lost his "lucky girl" Jasmine.
"money changed him!"
Even Zhiwei's neighbors couldn't watch it, describing Zhiwei's appearance after winning the money. "I saw him a month ago, wearing a thick necklace of more than 100g and bragging:'my girlfriend won it for me.'"
Jasmine, grieving, still found Zhiwei's father, hoping to return her portion of the gambling money so that she could pay taxes. Zhiwei's father urged Jasmine to lie and brazenly said, "you tell them (government) you lost all." So you don't have to pay taxes.
Jasmine could not believe that his former lover had become so miserable that Jasmine, who had lost his fortune, finally brought his ex-boyfriend to court, claiming $ five hundred thousand. She said sadly: "I was too scared to eat and sleep, I cried every day, I really believed him, I loved him, but the money completely changed him."
So far, Zhiwei has not responded, and his family, citing their inability to speak English, refused to be interviewed.
"ungrateful!"
Netizens also complained for Jasmine, saying that Zhiwei was ungrateful.
Others say that Jasmine lives better than his boyfriend, recognizing a person's true face through two hundred and fifty thousand, and getting quick with his windfall.
Foreign netizens said: "look forward to seeing this money is lost."
The test of windfall
And because of the unexpected wealth of the people in love parted ways are not a small number of things.
Gareth, a couple from Nottingham, England, and Catherine, his wife, were lucky enough to win a £41 million lottery in 2012. But recently her wife, Catherine, was photographed not wearing a wedding ring and her husband on social media. Although the divorce has not yet been confirmed, but the emotional change also made the huge prize grey.
And in the lottery, the most famous are the British couple Adrian and Gillian. They won one hundred and forty seven million nine hundred and ninety nine thousand nine hundred and ninety nine pounds (1.3 billion yuan) of European million lotteries in 2012, pushing them into the ranks of Britain's Thousand millionaires in an instant. However, the couple's relationship also came to an end, winning the prize 15 months after the rapid divorce. Her husband, Adrien, then proposed to his 27-year-old new girlfriend, Samantha, a hot equestrian.
Unsurprisingly, the relationship didn't last long, and the new girlfriend left with three hundred thousand pounds worth of horse racing, one hundred thousand pounds of wagons, 30, 000 sports cars and even Labrador, who they had brought up together, along with a $ three hundred thousand horse race, a one hundred thousand-pound wagon, a 30, 000-pound sports car and even their co-rearing Labrador.
A life on top of the cake
In the face of huge windfall, some people are busy sharing money, others are not affected by this wealth.
A husband and wife in Florida, 56-year-old husband David was an engineer before winning the prize, and 71-year-old wife Maureen was a salesman at a cosmetics company. Yes, the wife was exactly 15 years older than her husband!
Love in 37 years of marriage, this is true love! After they won $500 million, the media were waiting to see how they spent the money.
But no luxury cars were found in a five-month follow-up interview, and the couple were still living the same lives as before they won the prize, and even their neighbors were surprised. The husband and wife, who are worth 500 million, still live in the former house and shop in the cheap supermarket! What's the mark of winning $500 million?
They later learned that they had invested some of the money, donated several medical research institutions and organizations fighting child hunger. Money in the face of kindness and true love, but only for their lives on the cake.
As they said in the interview: "of course we have thought about past consumption, but once that material desire is kindled, it will be hard to extinguish, and eventually devour ourselves and make us lose our minds."
Buying lottery tickets, or trying your luck at a gambling table, are all fantasies of us ordinary people wishing to be rich overnight. The arrival of the god of fortune, huge wealth suddenly placed in front of ordinary people, there are people born greedy evil idea lost oneself, some people are generous and selfless dedication, wealth changed the circumstances of life, but also brought about the torture of the soul at the same time.
Since ancient times, it has been said that money is the source of all evil. The essence of evil comes from man, not wealth. More often than not, money is the touchstone of our morals and emotions. It speeds up depravity, but also magnifies nobility.
It is most appropriate to sum up in a sentence like this: "attitude to money is part of a person's attitude towards the world." It can even be said that there is no better way to examine a person's ability and personality than to see how he makes money and how he spends money. How to make money directly reflects a person's ability, knowledge and spirit; and how to spend money, even more accurately than how to make money can present the deep "smell" of their personality.
