Zhuang Nainai was awake in an instant and her sleepy eyes snapped into focus.

Talk?

That sounded so familiar, just like five years ago.

The college entrance examination had just ended. She had been overjoyed looking at her results.

Si Zhengting was definitely the first person with whom she wanted to share the happy news. However, they had a small argument and Si Zhengting had not talked to her in days.

Even though Mother Zhuang had approved of their relations.h.i.+p, not all mothers were so open-minded.

Zhuang Nainai had not dared to meet Mother Si nor give Si Zhengting a call. All forms of contact over the summer holidays had been initiated by Si Zhengting.

She could no longer hold it in that day.

She had sent a few text messages, but none of them were replied to. As the last resort, she had made a call.

Her heart was in her mouth when the phone starting ringing. But it rang and rang and still, no one picked up.

She was just about to put down the phone in disappointment when the phone was connected.

Zhuang Nainai had been elated. “h.e.l.lo…”

But the voice on the other end of the line belonged to a woman. “h.e.l.lo.”

Zhuang Nainai was stunned.

Ding Mengya’s voice was cold and sophisticated over the phone. She said, “I’m Ding Mengya, Si Zhengting’s mother.”

Zhuang Nainai was shocked. She was so nervous that she could not breathe, but she still forced herself to calm down and reply with a heavy Cantonese accent. “Hi, Ma’am, I’m calling to inform that you have won the grand prize in our game show ‘Lucky 6+1′ as your phone number’s last digits are 1234. The prize is a was.h.i.+ng machine and $48888 in cash. We will require you to first transfer the tax amount to a specified account, and I will send you the bank account number in a while. Please leave your name and address so that we can email you.”

Phone call and text message scams were prevalent back then, people normally hung up upon hearing what she had said.

Zhuang Nainai recited the long sentence and wondered if she had missed out on any parts, feeling confident that she nailed it.

Just as she was congratulating herself for her quick wit, the voice on the other end of the line replied coolly. “Zhuang Nainai, let’s talk.”

Zhuang Nainai was lost for words.

How could she have forgotten that Si Zhengting must have saved her number in his phone?

Zhuang Nainai had met with Ding Mengya with great embarra.s.sment and fear.

She had thought of all the possible outcomes. In the Korean dramas, parents always got in the way of the couples and tried to separate them.

She had decided that no matter how Ding Mengya forced or bribed her, she would not give in. She would fight for her love ’til the end.

But she never thought that the end would be…

Zhuang Nainai’s eyes reddened as she looked at Ding Mengya. She bit down on her lips.

What would they be talking about this time around?

Would she be asking her to leave Si Zhengting?

She curled her lips and looked at Ding Mengya coldly. “Sorry, I don’t think there’s anything to talk about between us.”

She then walked right past her.

If possible, she wished to never see and talk to Ding Mengya ever again.

Ding Mengya grabbed her arm when she was walking past.

Zhuang Nainai looked up and saw Ding Mengya’s mocking smile. “Why, do you not dare to talk to me about what happened five years ago?”
