Chapter 7 — Bakery After the Rain

"You have to take care of her." The police looked at me. "The owner, right?" I nodded, took out the business license from under the cashier counter, and showed the video I just recorded to them. "She banged on the door, insulted, threatened." "I was originally planning to go to the station to report and file, but she came first." Giang Nghien stood next to me, his face unsightly. The shoulders of his cashmere coat were stained with raindrops, and his whole body was tense. He didn't comfort his mother first, but stared at my phone. "On Duong, our private matter, you must make a scene in front of the police?" I looked at him. "It was your mother who came to my store to cause trouble first." "It was you who sent the threatening voice message first." "Let's talk privately now, it's late." Giang Nghien's mother cried and interjected: "My son was forced into a panic by you!" "You are a woman, why are you talking about it?" So cruel?" "You've given money, but you still take it out." The police frowned. "Miss, don't argue anymore." "There's no need to talk about each story." The flower shop owner also testified. "Comrade police, I'm right next to you." "She just knocked on the door, scolded very harshly, the customers were all scared away." Tieu Vien held up the phone and added in a low voice. "We also have cameras in the shop." Giang Nghien heard the words camera, his eyes darkened. down. He suddenly softened his voice. "Wen Duong, I know you're frustrated." "It's not easy for me to say goodbye." "But you can't affect my thesis defense because of emotional problems." I asked: "How do I affect your thesis defense?" His throat rolled. "Someone in the hospital accused you of having an unknown source of money." "And said your relationship with me is very difficult to listen to." "Other than you, who else knows those money transfers?" "Manh Tinh knows." I said calmly. Jiang Nghien's face changed. His mother suddenly looked towards him. "Who is Manh Tinh?" Three short words were like a key, cutting a line on his face. The surroundings were quiet for a few seconds. I didn't hide it for him. "His current girlfriend." "Also from a well-off family, can help him introduce internships in his mouth." Jiang Nghien's mother's cry was choked in her throat. She looked at Giang Nghien, then looked at me, her eyes showing panic for the first time. "Nghien Nghien, what is your current girlfriend?" Giang Nghien gritted his teeth. "Mom, don't listen to her divorce." "Manh Tinh and I are just normal classmates." As soon as the words finished, a trembling female voice rang out on the side of the street. "Ordinary classmates?" Manh Tinh stood behind the crowd holding an umbrella. Her face was very white, but her eyes looked straight at Giang Nghien. "Giang Nghien, last night you said that when you finish defending your thesis, you will take me home to meet your parents." Giang Nghien's mother was completely stunned. I saw Giang Nghien's fingers tightening around my body. Perhaps he did not expect Manh Tinh to appear at this time. Manh Tinh walked in front of the police and took out his phone. "I can prove, this morning he admitted on the phone that he had received money from Wen Duong." "There are also these messages." "He tricked me into saying he was studying on a scholarship, and also said that Wen Duong was just a sister who clung to him." Giang Nghien shouted at her softly: "Manh Tinh, don't be crazy." Manh Tinh raised her head to look at him, tears rolling down her eyes. "Today I am very awake." "Very sober." Giang Nghien's mother suddenly stood up and rushed in front of Manh Tinh. "Whose daughter are you again?" "Does your father know the teacher at school?" Manh Tinh did not answer. Giang Nghien wanted to pull his mother back, but it was too late. Giang Nghien's mother was so urgent that she couldn't choose her words. "Is Nghiem Nghien coming back to you because of work?" "Has your father agreed to help him?" The crowd was excited. Giang Nghien's face was so white it was scary. "Mom!" This voice was almost a roar. Giang Nghien's mother was threatened.

lips tremble. I stood in place, suddenly feeling paranoid. The mother and daughter are not afraid of deceiving people. I'm just afraid that the trick will be exposed in front of the crowd. The police told all of us to go to the station to make a report. I locked the shop door, took Tieu Vien to the flower shop owner's car, and let her go home first. She didn't feel secure. "Miss Duong, I'll go with you." "We still have to open the shop tomorrow." I took back the spare key. "Go back to sleep." She nodded with red eyes. On the way to the police station, Giang Nghien wanted to talk to me several times. I didn't pay any attention. Arriving in the lobby, he finally couldn't hold back, stood next to me and lowered his voice and said: "Are you satisfied?" I turned my head to look at him. "It's still early." Giang Nghien's eyes turned cold. "Do you really want to force me into a dead end?" I looked at the white light in front of the duty box in front. "Giang Nghien." "The way is up to you to walk." "I just finally stopped giving you a leg up."09 After finishing the report, it was almost eleven o'clock. The streetlight in front of the police station shines on the wet ground. Giang Nghien's mother sat on the steps wiping her tears, still muttering I have no conscience. Giang Nghien stood next to her, there was no sadness on his face, only unconcealed frustration. Manh Tinh hasn't left yet. She gave me the umbrella. "It's raining again." I didn't accept it.
