Chapter 52 : Crying Nancy
Inside the cafe, the atmosphere between the four of us became heavy. I asked for a divorce twice, but Dean rejected me flatly.
Nancy observed Pamela and Dean ‘s expressions for a while, and suddenly said, “Since you are unwilling to take the money and refuse to divorce, I have no other choice but to let those detained old men and women contact their families themselves and ask their families to go to the police station to bail them out.”Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Pamela heard this, her face changed drastically, “How dare you! If you dare to make a big deal out of this, I will die here today to show you!”
Nancy looked indifferent, “Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me. Besides, this matter has nothing to do with me in the first place!”
Nancy rolled her eyes and laughed in a particularly disdainful manner.
Dean stared at Nancy with hatred for a long time and said, “How could this have nothing to do with you? If it weren’t for you, things wouldn’t have turned out like this!”
Nancy saw Dean was angry with her, her temper immediately came to her head, she picked up the matcha milkshake on the table and splashed it on his face, “Then you are right! I was the one who planned this! What, do you think I will let you bully Candice ? If I didn’t do anything, she might have been tortured to death by your family!”
As she said that, Nancy angrily smashed the glass in her hand against the glass window beside her. The glass window cracked instantly, and the entire floor-to-ceiling window was destroyed by her brute force.
The guests nearby all covered their mouths and screamed, but Nancy ignored them and continued to yell at Dean : ” Dean , I’m telling you, if you dare to touch Candice , I ‘ll make you live a life worse than death!” She picked up the menu on the table and threw it at him, “My Candice must have a fucking brain filled with lead to choose to be with you! If I had known you were such a pig and a dog, I would have fucking killed you!”
Nancy finished her speech, the entire cafe fell silent. All the diners upstairs and downstairs looked towards us.
I reached out and pulled Nancy ‘s sleeve and said, “Don’t be angry, it’s okay…”
Nancy looked at Dean with a red face , pointed at his face and said, “Now, either you pay the ransom, or divorce Candice , or die in my hands!”
Dean didn’t say anything, just kept his head down in silence. His head and face were covered with the milky green matcha drink, his white shirt was soaked, and there were one or two coconut flakes hanging in his hair.
Pamela was probably afraid of Nancy ‘s sudden outburst. She pulled Dean and said, “Son, let’s go! Let’s go and talk to the police. I don’t believe we can’t deal with this scoundrel!”
Dean stood up with Pamela after being pulled by her . But before leaving, he turned his head to look at Nancy and me . After a brief exchange of hatred, he directed his attack at Nancy and said with contempt, “I think you should have heard that Lingnan has returned to China. But it is said that he is about to get married. It is really a cycle of fate. Some people will never get what they want in this life!”
After saying that, Dean sneered and left with Pamela .
After they left, Nancy and I stood there in a daze.
Nancy and I should have won this war, but when Dean told us about Lingnan’s current situation, I think we were counterattacked.
Lingnan, this name is an incurable sore spot for Nancy .
None of us expected that Ling Nan, whom Nancy had been pursuing for four years, would actually return to China.
Thinking back to when they graduated, he left in a calm and relaxed manner. The day before he left, Nancy secretly cut up his plane ticket and ID card to stop him from going abroad. But Nancy was just stupid. She knew that he didn’t need an ID card to go abroad. A passport was enough.
When Ling Nan left, he didn’t say a word to Nancy . According to Nancy , her name was Nancy , but in her life, she had only pleased one man, and that was Ling Nan. Unfortunately, God was not on her side, and this ungrateful man still left.
How does the sentence go? You are the only one who understands me the most, but you are also the only one who doesn’t know what’s good for me.
Some feelings are destined to be two parallel lines that will never intersect.
I think Lingnan’s return to China was a big shock to Nancy .
I pulled her skirt and asked carefully, “Are you okay?”
Nancy was distracted for a long time. Suddenly, she turned her head, looked at me stupidly and said, “Did I hear it wrongly ? What did that idiot Dean say? Who is going back to China? Who is getting married?”
I choked up, “Lingnan.”
I think I was not mistaken. The moment I said Lingnan’s name, Nancy ‘s eyes suddenly turned red.
I really wanted to give her a hug, but I knew she didn’t want me to expose her sadness.
Immediately, she pretended to smile indifferently, “How is it possible! It’s a lie! No one would believe it! That nerd, and we are getting married? He was indifferent when I slept in the same bed with him, and we are getting married? Ha…”
This unconvincing “huh” made Nancy fall into deep thought. At this time, the waiter at the bar walked up to us and said awkwardly: “You… are you done arguing? Um…”
Then I remembered that when Nancy got angry, she smashed the glass in the store.
I hurriedly apologized: “I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’ll compensate for the loss! Please ask the boss how much I need to compensate you, and I’ll give you whatever you want!”
The waiter held his forehead with his hand, looking embarrassed, “Well… you guys are really here to mess things up…”
I smiled guiltily, “I’m sorry…”
The waiter went backstage, while Nancy beside him fell into rounds of contemplation.
I guess her mind is now full of Ling Nan.
I pulled her to sit down and comforted her, ” Dean must be lying. Lingnan can’t get married so soon. Otherwise, I can ask around for you…”
Suddenly, Nancy turned her head towards me and shouted, “Why are you asking about that bastard? He didn’t say a word when he left! He still doesn’t say a word now that he’s back. Am I crazy enough to ask about him? Humph, only a fool would…”
Nancy stopped talking at this point. She stopped so suddenly, as if someone had pressed acupoints on her body and made her mute.
I looked into her eyes in confusion, but at this moment, her gaze was fixed on the top of my head.
I turned my head following her gaze, and suddenly, I saw… Ling Nan.
“Ling Nan?!” I stood up from my seat in surprise and stood straight in front of him. I thought I was not mistaken. The fair-skinned, tall and thin man with distinct facial features in front of me was Ling Nan.
However, after not seeing him for two years, he has lost his student vibe and has become more manly.
Now he seems to know how to dress up. His short hair is combed upwards, and he wears a pair of casual glasses with black rims and gold on his face. He wears a dark brown hooded sweatshirt and simple dark sweatpants.
I immediately slapped his shoulder hard and shouted, “Lingnan! You really returned home!”
I thought that this meeting should be warm, exciting and thrilling, but when my palm fell, Ling Nan in front of me did not show any expectant or familiar expression.
He looked at me indifferently, his eyes slightly frightened, and stood still with an embarrassed look on his face.
I laughed stiffly twice, “You don’t recognize me? No way… We haven’t seen each other for only two years…”
However, Ling Nan still did not react. He took a step back unnaturally, and said in an extremely unfamiliar tone, “Sorry, my name is Ling Nan, but I don’t seem to know you…”
I was in a daze for a while, then turned back to look at Nancy , who was also full of confusion. She stood up, walked in front of Lingnan, and said, “Are you teasing us?”
Nancy frowned and smiled. Then, she suddenly stretched out her arms and hugged Ling Nan tightly, shouting excitedly: “When did you return to the country? Why are you here?”
At this moment, Ling Nan pushed Nancy away and stepped back hastily, as if he had encountered a robber. He shouted in horror, “What are you doing! I don’t know you!”
He said he didn’t know us…
Nancy and I looked at each other in confusion. At this time, the waiter at the bar came up to us again and said, “Dear guests, this is our boss. Have you discussed the compensation with the boss?”
Ling Nan is the boss?
Nancy and I began to wait and see, while Lingnan straightened his clothes and cleared his throat and said, “The damage to the glass is not serious, you can just compensate me two thousand…” He looked at the two of us uneasily, “Also, please don’t come to my store again in the future.”
After saying that, Ling Nan turned around and was about to leave, but Nancy didn’t understand what was going on. She stepped forward, grabbed Ling Nan’s wrist, and shouted, “You don’t remember who I am? You really don’t remember? I’m Nancy ! I’m your college classmate, Nancy ! You kid, you’re not really…”
Before he could finish his words, a thin, short-haired woman with a black apron tied around her waist walked out from the other end of the bar. The woman looked very petite, with a rosy face and big, lively eyes.
She walked straight towards us, and when she stood in front of Nancy and me , she said politely, “Excuse me, guests, are you having any problems?”
Ling Nan pulled the woman’s arm and said coldly, “Dear, please go back to the kitchen. I can handle it here. It’s just broken glass.”
The woman looked Nancy and I up and down , then smiled gently at Lingnan, “Well, I’ll wait for you in the kitchen. There are many new products waiting for you to taste!”
Ling Nan reached out and rubbed the woman’s face, then watched her lovingly as she left.
I think I should have collapsed at this moment, because in my impression, Ling Nan would never take the initiative to touch any woman’s body. He didn’t even touch Nancy who had been with him for four years , let alone others!
It can be imagined that the woman just now was Ling Nan’s girlfriend.
Nancy chuckled unconsciously beside me. Her laughter sounded helpless and powerless. She pointed at the back of the disappeared woman and said to Ling Nan, “Are you still a girlfriend?”
Ling Nan didn’t answer her question. He turned around and pulled out a business card from the bar, handed it to me, and said, “My WeChat ID is on it. Just transfer your compensation to me directly via WeChat.”
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Nancy and I didn’t chase after him. The waiter at the bar looked at us and asked, “Is there anything else you need to explain?”
I shook my head and suddenly remembered something. “Oh, by the way, I want to ask, when did your boss take over this store?”
The waiter blinked and said, “Two weeks ago, we were all new here, too.”
I nodded and said, “Okay, thank you!”
I turned around, grabbed Nancy ‘s wrist, and dragged her out of the store.
But before they had walked far, Nancy suddenly stopped where she was. She looked back at the coffee shop and murmured, “Did we recognize the wrong person just now…”
Nancy , who had always been tough and fearless , was actually crying.
