"Yeah, I am driven crazy by you."
Lydia was stunned, "Me?"
Nina said coldly, "What advantage do you have? You even cast a greedy eye on John and want to be with him! What qualification do you have?"
Although Lydia was simple in daily life, she had completely understood what Nina meant.
"Do you... like John?"
Nina raised her head high, "So what if I like him?"
"But I'm already engaged to him."
"So what? Are you married?" Her mother asked her not to do anything that would disgrace her family and lower her own status, but she had no other choice. At the thought that John might be with another woman, she went crazy.
"We haven't got married indeed." Lydia said honestly, "But we're going to get married. John said that he would marry me after I graduated."
Nina felt a chill run down her spine, "What did you say?" She opened her eyes wide and stood up. She wore a pair of high heels, and she looked much taller than Lydia, "Will you get married?"
Lydia was frightened by her. She pursed her lips and did not say anything.
"Ha- ha!" Nina laughed out of anger, but she was shocked and angry in heart. John actually had such an idea?
"I like him! How can you get married?" At this moment, she was not like a real lady at all. She looked exasperated and unwilling, "Lydia, who do you think you are? Are you better than me? What else can you do except for eating? You look like a fool. Does John like you just because you're silly and naive? If so, John really has a bad taste!"
Lydia looked at Nina with annoyance. She was pissed off! Nina not only said she was a fool, but also said that John had a bad taste!
Phew!
Usually, she was always spoiled and she didn't like to think too complicatedly. When she argued with others, she had almost never won.
But that day, if she didn't say anything, she couldn't forgive herself!
"Nina, what are you angry about?" She put the ice creams she bought for her classmate on the table and said to Nina angrily, "Whether I'm stupid or not, it's none of your business. I can eat a lot indeed, but what does it have to do with you? I don't eat your food. Besides, you said John has a bad taste, but do you like him? Since you have a good taste, why don't you find someone who is better than him? What's the point of yelling at me?"
"Don't you know that you look no different than a shrew now?" She snorted, "You look so ugly! Aren't you very elegant and noble in ordinary times? John doesn't like you, and it is because he thinks that you are a shrew. Who wants to live with a shrew?" "You..." Nina was so miffed that her whole body was trembling, "How dare you talk back? You actually say that I'm a shrew!"
"You are not my mother. Why don't I dare to talk back?" Lydia rolled her eyes at her, "Do you still think you are a real lady and you're noble? If you were really so gentle, you wouldn't say this to me!"
"That's because you took away my man!" Nina raised her voice, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have become like this!"
Lydia looked at Nina as if she was monster. After a while, she shook her head, sighed softly, and then walked out.
"Where are you going?" Nina grabbed her by the wrist, "Did you hear what I said? Give John back to me!"
Lydia shook off her hand impatiently, "He's not yours. You two have never been together. Why should I give him back to you?" How absurd it was!
