She wiped her tears with grievance, "The humiliation you give today, I will return a hundredfold tomorrow! Since I can’t climb up using your influence, I will personally pull you down!"
"Gu Junming, just you wait." She said sinisterly.
The last bus didn’t co, she stood there as the sky turned completely dark, starting to feel anxious. Is it too late?
How will I get back? It’s so remote here, and catching a ride is impossible. Even hitchhiking, I don’t have the courage. She felt even more wronged, how could it be, I’m Gu Junming’s old acquaintance after all!
Just when she didn’t know what to do, soone behind her said: "Are you Nurse Wan Yunhong? What are you doing here?"
Turning around, she saw it was Liu Gang. Because she was one of the nurses who took care of his fiancée and Ai i, she had t him before, and because she was extraordinarily beautiful, Liu Gang had a good impression of her. Seeing her standing there, he approached quickly.
But as he got closer, Liu Gang saw the tears on Wan Yunhong’s face, and he was stunned.
"What happened? Seems like you’ve been wronged?"
Wan Yunhong snorted: "No, I wanted to take the last bus ho, but who knew the bus was gone."
"Few people co here, if the driver sees no one, it might not run. You can’t get back, huh."
"Oh no, what am I going to do now?" Wan Yunhong cried even more sorrowfully.
Liu Gang said: "Then co to my place first. I’ll try to think of sothing for you."
"No need!" Wan Yunhong instinctively refused.
This man has a bad reputation, lustful and unfaithful, plus a particularly opportunistic guy. She had heard plenty of his exploits in the hospital!
Liu Gang felt displeased, but he wasn’t stupid, he clearly sensed her rejection of him, all because of that damned Ai i, making people think I’m a lustful and unfaithful man!
He wasn’t actually lustful; he sought won just to climb up the ladder. His fondness for power was very similar to Wan Yunhong’s.
He smiled and said: "Don’t worry, I’m not taking you to my ho. My wife is like that, if she knows you’re with , she might kill . I’m afraid even if you’re not, I’m taking you to an internal guesthouse where you can stay."
Wan Yunhong sighed in relief: "I know. Thank you."
"Let’s go." Liu Gang walked ahead.
Wan Yunhong followed at a distance, looking around, afraid of being seen.
She wasn’t worried about rumors spreading about her and Gu Junming, she desired that kind of news.
But she was more reluctant with Liu Gang.
This man’s reputation was too poor. There’s no future for him in politics, even if his current position isn’t low, but he could never be entrusted with heavy responsibilities.
Moreover, according to military protocol, if he can’t keep rising, he’ll have to retire or be discharged. She didn’t want any association with such a man! For Wan Yunhong, a man who can’t rise is practically a defective product. No need for contact.
Even though Liu Gang was nice to her and ticulously helped her register to stay, Wan Yunhong only politely said a few words and wanted him to leave.
Liu Gang naturally understood her aloofness and indifference, smiling, he said: "Don’t worry, I never wanted won."
Wan Yunhong was stunned: "What did you say?"
"The reason I didn’t want Ai i was not because she wasn’t beautiful or couldn’t have kids. You’ve seen my new fiancée, and she doesn’t quite qualify as a beauty."
Wan Yunhong frowned slightly but didn’t speak, indeed not very pretty.
Liu Gang sighed: "My life is a tragedy, born in the countryside, with no one to rely on, everything depends on climbing by myself, you can’t imagine how exhausting it is. Whereas Gu Junming, Yan Kai, and others, it’s easier for them due to their fathers’ military connections. Take Wang Hu, despite that scandal with Yao DianDian, when it cos ti for promotion, it won’t be missed! Won’t even be affected! What if that were ? I know, without rising, I’ll likely have to transfer by the end of next year. I bla no one but myself for not having good parents."
These words left Wan Yunhong dumbfounded. After a while, she said: "Gu Junming is indeed capable."
"Isn’t he? So smart! When his biological father was implicated, he imdiately found a foster father from poor farming background. When his father was cleared and rehabilitated, he quickly reconnected with his urban father, becoming a deputy regintal commander in his twenties. He’s bound for a promising future. And during the flood relief, I... never mind, forget it." Liu Gang smiled wryly.
Wan Yunhong could feel Liu Gang’s pent-up frustration and hatred for Gu Junming, thinking, maybe he could help get revenge? Even though she hadn’t thought of a plan yet, finding soone who disliked him was hard enough.
So her attitude towards him changed significantly: "Gu Junming is more treacherous than I imagined."
"Yes, by the way, I haven’t asked why you were standing there so late, is it related to Gu Junming?"
She nodded: "Yes, we’re from the sa village, ca to visit, but he thought I was sabotaging his marriage and kicked out."
"Ha. Gu Junming is always like that, thinking of himself as the noblest, fearing anyone affecting his image. Do you know what that’s called? A hypocrite, shrouded in righteousness, utterly worthless."
Wan Yunhong nodded smilingly: "Exactly, I misjudged him, and won’t interact with him anymore."
With soone like that, you can’t use reputation against him. Wan Yunhong felt disheartened. But if Gu Junming likes power, could I find a way to disgrace him?
"Rest now, I have to leave." Liu Gang smiled: "You can go straight away tomorrow morning. Forget about this. Gu Junming isn’t of good intentions, you better stay away."
"I understand." Wan Yunhong saw Liu Gang off. Then she washed her face, looked at her exquisite and beautiful face in the mirror, thinking, I’m so beautiful, if I don’t marry a military commander, that’d be wasted.
How can I tolerate such humiliation from just a deputy regint leader?
She tapped the mirror with her finger, then smiled: "Hmm, maybe I can find soone else, soone powerful. I will succeed, won’t I?"
Zhuang Lin quickly spread the incident of how Gu Junming rebuffed Wan Yunhong everywhere; everyone said Gu Junming was good, being a loving husband. So also said he was inconsiderate.
Anyway, there was all kinds of talk, but it didn’t affect Gu Junming.
That day, when Sun Chan finished class, she saw her parents waiting at the school gate, which was a bit surprising, but she still smiled and walked over.
