Jennie was slightly taken aback. She knew she did not know anyone in City C, but this lady called her Miss Kim...
Seeing Jennie's hesitation and surprise, the lady took off her. shades and spoke after making sure no one was around. "Miss Kim's business in City C was to ask about Nancy Mcdonie, isn't it? "
Hearing that, Jennie and Chaeyoung shared a glance. None of them understood what was happening, so they kept quiet.
The lady in front looked familiar, they should have met her before. Jennie looked carefully and yelped in recognition, "You are the nurse from before? ! ! "
...
Liang Zihan sent Jennie and Chaeyoung to their hotel and
entered their room after she had parked. As Jennie's luck would have it, she was admitted into the hospital for eating spicy rabbit head, and because of that, met Nancy's middle school classmate as her nurse!
Liang Zihan knew that Jennie was not well, so she declined Jennie's suggestion to talk in a cafe, being very frank.
"I've heard that you were asking around about Nancy. I knew some things about her, so I'll tell you in the hotel room! "
Chaeyoung poured both of them a glass of warm water. Liang Zihan took it and said smilingly, "What a coincidence, I've just returned from outside the country! "
Jennie was a little hopeful after hearing that.
If Liang Zihan had been in City C, Lisa had asked people to investigate, so they would not have missed her.
If she had just returned to the country, there might be some breakthroughs.
"I just divorced and came back with my child. I was just taking over my aunt, or I wouldn't have met you two! "
Evidently, Liang Zihan was not a cunning person. Within a few sentences, she had already offered her entire backstory.
Jennie looked at Chaeyoung and asked Liang Zihan, "Miss Liang, you said you were classmates with Nancy, but are you close? "
Liang Zihan nodded and said, "That's right. We were classmates in a small town. There weren't that many people, to begin with. Nancy was not very social, you could say she's a glacial beauty! "
Liang Zihan's summary was reflective of Nancy's characteristics. Jennie did not know Nancy in her teenage years, but she. would not be surprised to call her not very sociable.
Nancy sounded like the type to be very mature for her age. In the eyes of her peers, she would be called cold and solitudinous!
"Miss Liang, you're her friend? Chaeyoung asked.
"You could say so! " Liang Zihan smiled. "Or you could say it's because we're alike! "
Seeing the confusion in Chaeyoung's eyes, Liang Zihan continued, "When we were in school. we liked an older man at the same time..."
Chaeyoung, "..."
Jennie was not surprised, she knew about Xia Tao.
"Xia Tao? " Jennie blurted out then immediately regretted it.
Nancy should still be quite young at that time. How would she know about Xia Tao?
Liang Zihan was astonished, "Xia Tao? That was after! "
Liang Zihan did not think Jennie would know Xia Tao as well, so now she began hesitating if she wants to continue talking.
"Don't worry, I'm not related to Xia Tao in any way. I just found out that Nancy was romantically linked with Xia Tao for a while! "
Liang Zihan might be sensitive about Xia Tao. From her gaze, it was understood that Jennie was trying to dispel Liang Zihan's worries.
"Miss Liang, please continue! "
"She liked our math teacher who already had children. The man I loved was my ex-husband, the old fart I married! "
Jennie was not interested in Liang Zihan's ex-husband, but she was a little surprised to hear that Nancy liked her teacher in middle school.
Nancy was a backslider. Xia Tao had claimed that she had Electra Complex, indeed!
"Because we were so young when we liked older married men, we. couldn't tell anyone else, so we confided in each other and became closer as a result! "
Liang Zihan explained her relationship with Nancy, it seemed like they were really similar in nature.
"Nancy is currently in Luo Hai's Yuan Family, do you know about that, Miss Liang? "
Jennie felt that even if she was fortunate enough to meet an old friend of Nancy, the woman's willingness to divulge Nancy's story was more than wanting to reminisce.
Seeing Jennie showing her trump card, Liang Zihan stopped dilly-dallying and said, "I know she has rooted herself in Luo Hai's Manoban Family. I know her the most, and I need money! "
Chaeyoung and Jennie shared a look. Before Chaeyoung
could say anything, Jennie stopped her and turned to Liang Zihan.
"Miss Liang, are you facing some kind of problems? "
Her voice was soft, enough to encourage people to shed their defenses around her.
Liang Zihan inhaled deeply as her eyes reddened, "My son was down with a serious illness. As I've said, I'm a divorcee. I have not been earning much after bringing him home, so I need money!"
"Understandable!"
Jennie felt rested enough to get up. She propped her body up and utilized a tone that suggested business. "I need to confirm the information you can divulge. "
If she was only going to reminisce, Jennie would not need to. hear Liang Zihan out.
She knew Nancy was a little dubious, but her current obsession was Lisa!
"Nancy has heart disease, do you know that? "
Liang Zihan's eyes turned deep as she continued, "The heart she obtained was problematic..."
Jennie's cup trembled as she recalled following Nancy in
disguise. She remembered hearing Xia Tao claiming that he was the one who helped Nancy find her heart!
Liang Zihan was worried and her face paled. Her breath was labored as if it would take a lot of her valor just to keep talking.
"City C is different from Luo Hai. It's a tiny place, and everyone knows everyone here. If you knew Xia Tao, you would understand that me talking about this is me risking my life..."
Liang Zihan might have exaggerated, but it was evident that she was scared.
"My aunt was the head nurse in the hospital and was part of the surgery which not many people know about! "
Maybe things like this were insider information.
Liang Zihan knew that if the news was spread, Xia Tao could easily find out she was the one who spread the information, so her worry was not unfounded.
In tiny places like this, the scary ones were not the higher-ups!
It was lesser figures like Xia Tao who were the real controller!
"Don't worry, Miss Liang. I will bring this piece of information back to Luo Hai. No one in City C would seek trouble with you! If you're still not at ease, you can take the money to evade the situation for a while!"
Jennie retrieved a bank card from her purse. That was the card Lisa gave her before she left.
The unlimited black card trope that always appears in bossy CEO novels, the kind that allows people to use the money callously.
She did not expect Lisa to say, "I can't give you too much
money, or you would go crazy over there and don't know when to come home! "
"Here's 500 thousand, do you want to check it out at the bank first? "
Jennie placed the card in Liang Zihan's hands, a faint smile appearing in her eyes that has a calming effect.
Liang Zihan shook and began to trust Jennie without
subconsciously.
She needed the money, her son's leukemia needed 400 thousand!
Liang Zihan calmed herself down and murmured, "Three years ago, there was an accident. A child was transferred into the hospital my aunt worked at. He didn't need to die, but his heart has extremely high compatibility with Nancy...."
