As we were talking, the cafe owner came up with a laptop in his arms "Mr.Hua, to save your time, I've made a copy of the surveillance video for you. You can watch it slowly while I serve you coffee.”
I took the laptop from the cafe owner and quickly fast-forwarded the screen to the part where Nan Lin pouring herself coffee.
Jacky picked up Nan Lin and was about to leave. I put the computer screen in front of his eyes, "Mr. Hua, watch it carefully. Then you will know the truth."
Jacky's eyes turned to the screen. To let him watch it clearly, I played the video again and again, showing him how Nan Lin had spilled coffee on herself.
I didn’t say anything after I made sure that he had watched the video carefully. He was a smart guy and had his own judgment, so I didn't have to keep bothering him.
Jacky put Nan Lin down. He looked bad. Suddenly, he knocked the laptop to the ground, then headed downstairs without looking back.
"Mr. Hua, it's not like that……" Nan still tried to deny that.
"He has seen it all. Don't play it anymore.Jacky's not here, who want to see your show?" I said coldly.
However, Nan Lin ignored my taunts, and instead of feigning a stomachache, she chased after Jacky.
I also chased him out, and I would like to see how Nan Lin explained her acting.
"Mr. Hua, it's not what you think. I was scared because I couldn't remember anything. I want you to keep me in mind in this way. I want you to give me time to remember what happened before." Nan Lin wept with a look of regret.
Jacky stood there with an expressionless face, not saying a word.
I walked past them and left like a passerby. Since my purpose was served, there's no need to stay here any longer. I didn’t care what would happened to them. I wouldn't have bothered with Nan Lin if she hadn't come after me.
The bus stop nearest the cafe was also nearly 500 meters away, I was in no hurry so I walked slowly towards the stop.
As Just walking towards the bus stop, I saw Jacky's Porsche slowly driving by. His car came to an obvious halt beside me. He rolled down the car window, but he didn't tell me to get in.
I whipped my head around. I could take the bus by myself and didn't want to get into his car and be humiliated by him.
When I turned back again, I saw the Porsche suddenly drive away and quickly disappear into the road.
Somehow I felt a little sad.
When I got home, I took a break. Then I turned on my computer and started sending my resume online.
Since my body had recovered, I had to find a job to support myself first.
I looked at online jobs that required a bachelor's degree or higher with no confidence and felt like I was being outclassed by society.
I actually went to a well-known university of finance and economics. It was only during my junior year that my unplanned pregnancy disrupted my life.
I planned to abort the child at that time, but finally I didn't do so. I had no other relatives. I wanted to have a family in the world, so against all odds, I gave up school and had a baby.
I didn't know who my biological parents were. When I was in my teens, I had an accident. There was a ten-vehicle collision traffic accident on the Haiyang Highway from Hai City to Yang City and I was then on one of the buses.
I woke up from coma after six months in a hospital with no memory of who I was or where I came from. The police checked the bus, which was headed from Yang City to Hai City. But none of the information about all the passengers who bought tickets at the station had anything to do with me. The police suspected that I didn't buy a ticket at the station and was halfway on the bus.
The driver of the bus died. None of the other passengers who survived knew me, and they didn't know when I got on. So without memory and without ID, I came to Earth as if it was an alien planet.
I was later taken in by an aunt who lost her daughter and husband in the accident, my later adoptive mother, Ms. Yao. After a series of formalities, I settled into her home and took the name Kiki Yao. In the beginning, I was in a constant state of mania and anxiety. I want to know where I really came from and who I really am. But under my foster mother's attentive care, I slowly came to terms with the reality of my memory loss.
I continued to study. To my surprise, I couldn't remember who I was, yet I remembered the knowledge I had acquired. After I entered the First High School of Hai City, I quickly became one of the best students in the school, ranking in the top three in almost every exam. I was especially sensitive to numbers, and my mathematics and chemistry scores were excellent.
At that time, my teachers thought I had a chance to get into the most prestigious university, but I finally chose University of Finance in Hai City. The reason was simple. The university's tuition was low and I could still stay in Hai City and take care of my adoptive mother who no longer had a family.
My foster mother passed away in the second semester of my freshman year. Leaving me with a deposit of more than half a million dollars and a small house, the one I later lived in when I married Hao Wu.
I started looking for where I came from crazily. I used my vacation to run around all the neighboring cities in Hai City, and I also nearly spent all the savings my foster mother gave me. But I ended up with nothing.
Then I met Wu Hao. He was a student from the countryside and was a year ahead of me in my university. He pursued me madly and gave me meticulous care. I quickly fell in love with him. One day I got drunk by him on Christmas Eve and he took me to a hotel.
Then I found out I was pregnant. Hao Wu also supported me in giving birth. I would suddenly have a family so I certainly did not want to lose. So I took off from university and prepared to finish my higher education after giving birth.
But when I finished having children, I realized that life wasn't as simple as I thought it would be. I simply couldn't leave the kids and go on to school.
Hao Wu's mother didn't help me at all, and his income wasn't enough to support me and Lucas. So I had to give up the idea of re-entry. I worked part-time and brought up the kids at the same time.
I was from being an honor student at a prestigious school to a clerk selling cell phones at a mall, and I didn't have a chance to get into a big company without university degree. In the eyes of others, someone who was busy having kids without graduating university must be someone who was not pursuing it.
The phone on the desk suddenly rang, pulling me back from my distant thoughts. I looked at the caller's name and hurried to pick up the phone.
