"And then?"
The voice on the other end sounded indignant, "At that time, I cursed him out over the phone, told him to get lost, never to call me again, that I sure as hell wouldn't help him speak well of you."
In reality, her cursing was even more furious.
She used every rude word to greet him, not thinking much at the time, just wanting to stand up for her best friend, cursing as harshly as she could. Later, when she calmed down, she felt a chill thinking she had cursed out a future mayor.
"He told me he was outside my house. I was so angry; I told him you weren't there, that if he didn't leave I would call the police, and then I hung up, planning to come out to see you, to get your opinion. Who knew that when I came out, I'd see you fainted on the sofa, scared half to death. I kept shouting your name and tried to carry you to the hospital. In the midst of this, he broke the door and came in."
Jiang Nuan remembered nothing, she had no impression of it at all.
