Chapter 944: The Real Him (3)
When the man heard the na Wang Manpeng, he was excited. He was as excited as a child who had just received candy, and his eyes were twinkling with his energy.
“Do you rember now?”
Ling Tianya shook her head. “Don’t get wrong, I know about you from word of mouth. I know that you were a good brother to Ruan Zeyan when you guys were young. You two grew up together, didn’t you? You are Mandy Wang’s brother and you sacrificed yourself to save Ruan Zeyan. He has been living with the agony and guilt ever since.”
“Don’t ntion Ruan Zeyan in front of !” Wang Manpeng’s voice was hurt, and he sounded like he was in pain. He seed repulsed at the ntion of Ruan Zeyan.
Ling Tianya laughed coldly. “I don’t rember you. Even if I did, you must have asked Ghost Charm to lock away those mories, haven’t you? So, I don’t rember anything about you at all!”
“No, that’s not true at all!” Wang Manpeng was getting agitated. “Even before that mory, we have t before. I t you even earlier than Ruan Zeyan did, in that cafe. I used to go there every morning for a cup of coffee and you would always greet so enthusiastically. Don’t you rember any of that?”
Ling Tianya knew that Wang Manpeng was referring to the ti when she was still working part-ti at the cafe seven years ago, when she was still an apprentice barista. But Ling Tianya had absolutely no recollection of him from that ti.
Seven years ago, the cafe did well, business was good, and there were many custors every day, n and won...
Ling Tianya would smile at everyone who ca through the doors and greet them enthusiastically. It was her work ethic, to remain cheerful and upbeat while she was at work, especially in the service industry. There was no reason for her to rember anyone in particular.
When he saw that Ling Tianya had fallen silent, Wang Manpeng’s emotions slowly dissipated. Soon, all he was feeling was jealousy and rage. He stood up and grabbed Ling Tianya’s neck tightly with his two hands and shouted in her face, “Why? I would go there every day, no matter how far away I was. I made a point of visiting you at the cafe every day, not for the coffee, but just for you! I would order a drink from you without fail. Why don’t you rember ? Ruan Zeyan only went there one ti, one ti! That’s all it took for you to rember him. Why is that so?”
Wang Manpeng’s expression was contorted in anger, and his grip around Ling Tianya’s neck was getting tighter and tighter. Ling Tianya’s face began to turn purple and breathing was getting difficult and tedious. At that mont, the thought of her possibly dying there crossed her mind...
Zhang Ke was standing outside the door. When she heard Wang Manpeng shout from inside the room, she felt uneasy. After not hearing Ling Tianya’s voice for a while, she had a bad feeling in her stomach.
She opened the door to see Wang Manpeng choking Ling Tianya’s neck tightly.
When she saw them, Ling Tianya’s face was already turning blue.
“Boss! Are you going to kill her?” Zhang Ke asked quickly.
Zhang Ke’s voice brought Wang Manpeng back to his senses. He quickly realized what he was doing. He had nearly killed Ling Tianya with his own hands.
He abruptly released Ling Tianya from his grip and looked over at her helplessly.
Ling Tianya collapsed on the couch and gasped for air. Her brain was oxygen-starved and she was breathing deeply to recover. Color was slowly returning to her face.
Zhang Ke was panting anxiously as well. She couldn’t bear to imagine what would have happened if she hadn’t stumbled into the room. Would her boss have killed Ling Tianya just like that if she had arrived a little later?
Subconsciously, Zhang Ke didn’t want Ling Tianya to die. She wanted her to be alive, alive and well.
She rembered that there was a night she spent at the villa when she had been talking to Da Yi. She had told him that if Du Gang would sacrifice his life for Ruan Zeyan, she could do the sa for Ling Tianya.
Zhang Ke knew that when she said that, she had ant it from the bottom of her heart.
