Chapter 65 : Tail-End
Nancy ‘s car followed Lingnan all the way. During the way, Nancy asked me various questions about Lingnan in our company and his identity as a spokesperson model.
After she understood everything, she pressed the horn with a slap and said excitedly, “No wonder he sent flowers to Jacqueline . It turns out he went to visit her on behalf of the company’s photography team.” She glanced at me and breathed a sigh of relief, “I almost thought that you and I had met the same love rival!”
I sighed and held my forehead, “Sister, Ling Nan already has a girlfriend, okay? The lady boss of the coffee shop, have you forgotten?”
Nancy didn’t say anything, but stared at Ling Nan’s car in front of her with fierce eyes.
Lingnan’s car drove all the way to the coffee shop. After his car stopped, Nancy quickly pulled me out of the car and entered the coffee shop before Lingnan.
She found a random seat and sat down, patting the table and saying, “Waiter! Two American coffees! Two mousse cakes! Thank you!”
At this time, Lingnan happened to walk into the room. When he saw Nancy and me , his brows frowned.
The waiter at the bar was about to prepare snacks and drinks for us, but at this time, Ling Nan waved his hand, signaling the waiter not to do it.
“We will not entertain these two guests,” he said.
Nancy walked around the table to him, put her hands on her hips and asked, “Why! Why don’t you entertain me? Did I steal, rob, or burn, or did I blackmail you for the meal?”
Ling Nan pinched his nose with a tired look, and said helplessly, “Miss, if I remember correctly, this is the third consecutive day you have come to my store. You came in the morning, at noon, and in the evening, and every time, you ordered a lot of things.” He sighed and took a step back, “I am very grateful for your support, but you didn’t even take a bite of the cake on the table. I really don’t know what you are doing here? Are we familiar with each other? Or do you have other purposes?”
Nancy took a step closer to him, “What other purpose could I have? I’m your college classmate, Nancy ! We used to be very good friends! And, you and I… almost dated…”
Ling Nan snorted and shook his head, “I think you must have remembered it wrongly. I don’t know you, and I don’t think I would associate with someone like you.” He turned around and walked into the bar, his tone cold, “Please don’t come again, take your friends and leave.”
Nancy was not done yet and went to the bar just in front of her. The waiter happened to come out with coffee. Nancy stepped too fast and knocked over the waiter’s plate. The coffee spilled all over Nancy’s clothes .
Nancy lowered her head and screamed, “It’s over! It’s so hot! Oh my god! It’s burning me to death!”
Ling Nan couldn’t do anything about her, so he quickly grabbed the rag and started to wipe it for her. Nancy saw his actions and said with a smile: “You see, you still worry about me… When we were in college…”
Ling Nan stood up and interrupted her, “I apologize for spilling the coffee, but this time I beg you, don’t come to my shop again.”
Nancy pretended not to hear and said while shaking the coffee stains off her clothes, “Do you have any extra shirts? Just lend me one. I can’t wear this one anymore.”
Ling Nan turned around and took down a white shirt from the wall and stuffed it into her arms, “Put it on. This shirt is a gift to you. Don’t come here again.”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
After saying that, Ling Nan turned around and went to the kitchen.
Nancy looked at his departing back for a long time, then silently clenched the shirt in her hands.
I patted her shoulder and said, “Let’s go! He probably won’t come out…”
Nancy shrugged, her eyes still fixed on the kitchen. I pulled her away forcefully, but at this moment, she suddenly grabbed her shirt and left a lipstick mark on the collar.
I was surprised and asked, “What are you doing!”
Nancy picked up the shirt and hung it on the wall, next to a women’s windbreaker.
If I’m not mistaken, that women’s windbreaker should belong to Lingnan’s girlfriend.
Nancy took a deep breath, pulled me and said, “Let’s go!”
I looked back in the direction of the kitchen, and no one came out from there, and no one saw Nancy ‘s series of actions just now.
After getting in the car, I asked worriedly, “Was what you did just now too…”
She insisted, “I just want his girlfriend to misunderstand and make them break up, so that I can have a chance to get closer to Lingnan.”
I shook my head. “We haven’t figured out Lingnan’s situation yet. You’re being reckless.”
Nancy was like a person who was poisoned. She refused to listen to any advice. “It’s reckless, but that nerd hasn’t been in a relationship for four years and now he has a girlfriend. Isn’t that a slap in my face? I must get him. I don’t care if he has lost his memory or turned into a fool. Once I get him, I will kick him out!”
With a “squeak”, Nancy slammed on the brakes. Before I could figure out what was going on, Nancy unbuckled her seat belt. As she opened the door, she said, “Don’t get out of the car. I think I was rear-ended.”
Nancy got out of the car, she checked the front of the car back and forth, and what was parked in front of us was a black business car.
Not long after, a middle-aged man got out of the business car. The man looked to be in his fifties and had the air of a boss. It was obvious that he was a senior executive of a company.
He had a serious face and seemed difficult to talk to.
Nancy confronted him, the man always had a stern face and seemed very angry.
Less than two seconds later, a woman walked down from the passenger seat of the business car.
The woman was probably around 45 or 46 years old, but she dressed very fashionably and looked very well maintained. At first glance, it seemed that she and the middle-aged man were probably a couple.
The woman walked to the man, put her arm around him, tilted her head slightly, and tapped the man’s shoulder, looking very delicate.
The woman seemed to be complaining about something to the man. Judging from the shape of her mouth, she was probably blaming Nancy for driving too recklessly.
The middle-aged man was also very angry and never treated Nancy well.
I was afraid that Nancy would be bullied, so I opened the car door and was about to get out. But at this moment, the middle-aged woman who was very good at acting coquettishly suddenly tugged the middle-aged man’s arm in grievance, and then showed him the time on her watch.
The man seemed to be in a hurry. After thinking for a while with a frown, he waved his hand at Nancy and the matter was over.
I closed the door again and Nancy got back into the car.
Nancy got in the car and exclaimed, “I give up. I am getting more and more confused about older women. That woman just now was so good at acting like a spoiled child. She was even more weird than Jacqueline !”
I asked, “Are you okay?”
Nancy shook her head. “It’s okay. It was just a minor friction. Luckily, they were in a hurry to leave, so I didn’t make a fuss about it. I felt like they were not short of money, so they didn’t ask me to pay for the repairs.”
In front of me, the black business car drove away immediately, and at this moment, a headline news reminder suddenly popped up on my mobile phone.
I casually glanced at the title and it was about The Johnson :
” CE Group’s former chairman Teng Jianren returns to China today, and the development of cross-border enterprises will have new breakthroughs.”
Under the title, the media posted a photo of Teng Jianren landing at the airport this morning.
I held up my phone and took a closer look, and suddenly discovered that the middle-aged man in the photo looked exactly like the owner of the commercial vehicle just now!
Could it be… that person just now was Eugene ‘s father?
Then… who is that woman holding Eugene ‘s father’s arm?
