Because I simply love you

Chapter 334: Unwanted customers



Chapter 334: Unwanted customers

Jinhai entered his base and found Long Yanmei in a terrible state, but obviously, he didn’t care. She was covered in dirt and mud, and her expensive dress was already in tatters.

Long Yanmei saw him coming and gritted her teeth in anger. “Liu Jinhai! What is this nonsense? Why have you brought me here? Let me go!”

Jinhai expressionlessly said, “Sure. After you tell me what you were doing outside Natsukashi today.”

Long Yanmei was confused as to how anybody saw her. She was standing at the corner.

Then she remembered that she talked to Serena for a while and knew she was working there.

But why would she tell them about me? We don’t know each other.

Jinhai raised his brow. “I don’t think that you are going to talk like that.”

He glanced at one of his guards, and he nodded. He brought a set of pliers. Long Yanmei shuddered with that sight.

She got a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach.

“So, are you in the mood to tell now?”

Long Yanmei gulped. “I was waiting for my ride!”

“Which happened to be outside Natsukashi where Nana works and whom you consider as your enemy. Right.”

“I am telling the truth!”

Jinhai said nothing.

The guard got the cue, and immediately, he grabbed Long Yanmei’s hand.

“Hey! Leave my hand! What are you doing?”

She tried to resist, but it wasn’t of any use.

In a flash, the guard jammed the plier on the nail of her index finger and pulled it out in a single shot.

“Aaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!”

Long Yanmei screamed, feeling the extreme agony as the nail ripped apart from her finger. Blood oozed out, and it dripped down on the ground. Beads of sweat formed on her forehead, and her jaw tightened, grinding her teeth. Tears pooled in her eyes, and her vision turned blurry.

“Are you willing to say it now? Or you need another demonstration?” Jinhai coolly rested his head on his palm.

“I will say it!”

Long Yanmei panicked. She didn’t want to go through that horrifying pain once again.

But she also couldn’t bear to let everything out and let her plan fail.

She wanted Nana to be destroyed and the child inside her too. She won’t give up on that revenge.

Once Tang Feng and Tang Ning execute their plan and kill Nana’s child, she didn’t care even if Jinhai killed her. She would have still won in the end.

“I…I just wanted to harm Nana somehow like how I suffered.”

She said a part of the truth because any other reason knowing her hatred towards Nana would have seemed too unbelievable.

Jinhai’s aura turned cold and dangerous, and she trembled in fear.

“Why did you leave?”

“Because I saw you walking around in Natsukashi, and I had to give up. I didn’t know that you were there too today. I thought she might be alone, so I could…”

His signal was enough to make the guard understand. He ripped out another one of her nails.

“Aaaahhhhhh!!!”

Long Yanmei was on the verge of losing her consciousness seeing the blood now flowing like a stream of river.

Jinhai got up and said, “I think we can gift your nails to your husband, Long Guozhi, to know what I can do.”

Long Yanmei inwardly laughed.

Guozhi. He doesn’t even care anymore. He has already signed the divorce papers and threw them at my face.

When Jinhai went out, he said, “Find out more about what Long Yanmei was up to in the recent days.”

“Yes, sir!”

A loud sound of thundering roared in the clouds high up in the sky, and a flash of bright lightning lit the clouds giving an almost eerie sense.

“Seems there is going to be quite a storm tomorrow,” Jinhai muttered.

The next day, as expected, the grey clouds filled up the entire bed of sky, and it cast a thin blanket of darkness upon the city.

It looked like it was going to rain hard.

Huian did some last formalities with Shin as he told her everything about the next doctor who would be treating her.

“Here are the details and your reports. I have already talked to him. He would be handling your case now.”

Huian nodded, although she did feel a bit weird to go to another doctor at this point. But she couldn’t say that after what she had done to his sister.

“Sure. Thank you for everything that you have done for me until now.” She smiled.

Shin didn’t know why, but suddenly the picture of her hugging him when she acted in front of Mu Shuchun came in his mind. Her smile reminded him of how she coyly smiled, wrapping her hands around him.

He snapped out and cleared his throat.

“Hm. If there is still any confusion, you can call me.”

Huian nodded. 

She slowly got up and started to leave. Nowadays, she tried to walk around as much as possible and would sit back when she got tired.

She looked back once and politely bowed.

Shin faintly acknowledged.

When Huian stepped out and sat back in the car, the driver asked, “Mam, should we go to the Xiang villa?”

Huian thought about it. She didn’t want to go back so soon and get bored in the villa, doing nothing.

Should I meet Nana and see how she is doing?

Her stomach grumbled, as well.

Well, I am hungry too. I could have lunch there as well.

“Take me to Natsukashi.”

Natsukashi.

It started to rain pretty hard by then, and the roads were already getting clogged up with water and puddles.

There were hardly any customers now and the last one also just finished up.

Qiu and Meiling called up to say that they were stuck in the middle of traffic on their way to Natsukashi. Nana said that they could take leave instead of coming all the way here. There was not much business, either.

Serena caught a cold last night so she couldn’t come either.

So it was quieter than usual today at Natsukashi, and for a change, there were only Jinhai and Nana inside.

Nana didn’t know what to do, and there was an awkward silence between them. She wondered if she should go back home, but it would be pretty difficult now with the heavy rain.

Jinhai thought about it and asked, “Should I brew you a cup of tea? It has turned quite cold.”

Nana shook her head but said nothing.

Jinhai’s shoulder drooped. Since it was just the two of them alone, he wanted to use this chance to grow a little closer to her.

Nana was about to get up, but Jinhai asked, “What do you want? I will get it for you.”

“No, thanks. I will do it myself.” She said in a neutral tone.

She slowly got up, but Jinhai suddenly hugged her from behind.

Nana froze. “What are you doing, Jinhai? Let me go. Didn’t I tell you not to-“

“I-I know. But please, don’t push me away. Even if it’s a small thing, I want to help you. It’s…already so hard that we are so near yet so distant. I want to do whatever I can even if it’s bringing a glass of water. I know it wouldn’t do anything to change the situation, but I still want to do anything related to you.”

Nana said nothing.

The door opened, and they stiffened. Huian widened her eyes when she saw Jinhai and Nana in that position. She was in her wheelchair a little wet from the rain.

She cleared her throat, but she found something odd atmosphere between them.

Jinhai was surprised too to see her here.

Nana smiled. “Ah Huian. Come inside. It’s raining too hard.”

Huian awkwardly said, “Ah, yes. I somehow managed to come here. I am sorry…I…”

She hinted that she might be have been a hindrance in their moment.

“No, it’s fine. I am surprised to see you here.”

“Oh, yes. Actually, I was bored to go home after my appointment, and I was hungry too, so I thought that I could come here.”

“Sure. I will cook something for you. Wait, I will give you a towel first. Dry yourself. Have a seat.”

Huian didn’t want to stay alone with Jinhai, but well…

Suddenly the lights went off, and it became a bit darker inside.

“What happened?” Nana asked.

Jinhai said, “Nana, you sit down, or you will bump into something. I will check the fusebox outside.”

As he went, Huian asked, “So…how is everything going on?”

Nana paused for a bit. “It’s…”

She didn’t know how to explain it.

Then they heard some noises thrashing and breaking outside.

Huian asked, “Huh? What is that noise-“

*Crash*

Suddenly one window broke of Natsukashi, and somebody started banging loudly on the door.

Nana and Huian looked at each other in horror.

“W-what?”

They broke the door, and four men came inside barging in with hockey sticks in their hands.

Nana froze.

They looked strong and burly with menacing gaze.

“Break down everything here!” One of them said.
