"Auntie, my name is Jiang Yuning, and I am Xingdong's former colleague. I heard that you were hospitalized, so I came over to take a look."
"Lao San's former colleague?" Gu Shoufu stood up with a smile and said, "Hello, please take a seat."
"Uncle, you're welcome. These are some supplements I brought for auntie." Jiang Yuning said and handed over the gift box in his hand.
As soon as Gu Shoufu saw the package, he knew that the price was definitely not cheap. He waved his hand and said, "This is too expensive. If you can come, my dear, we can't accept it."
Friends and colleagues of Gu Xingdong and Chen Lishu also came to visit, but most of them brought some fruits or milk powder. Like Jiang Yuning, the packaging had foreign characters on it, so he couldn't just collect things randomly.
Jiang Yuning smiled: "Uncle, I work in a military hospital. I specifically asked my colleagues in the brain department. They said this is very helpful for the recovery of patients after surgery. Just keep it."
Gu Shoufu still insisted: "Daughter, just come and take a look. We, the old couple, are very grateful, but we really can't accept this, so you should take it back."
Jiang Yuning's hand was hanging in the air, and she finally took it back in embarrassment, but she quickly changed the subject: "Auntie, how do you feel? I asked my colleagues a lot of precautions before I came here..."
Gu Xingdong had just walked to the door when he heard laughter coming from inside. He thought it was Chen Lishu who was coming. With a smile on his eyes, he raised his hand and pushed the door open and walked in.
"...Uncle and aunt, you don't know that Xingdong and I had only been colleagues for a short time at that time. I had never seen such a fierce person. I was a little dumbfounded at the time."
"The third child has had such a bad temper since he was a child." Li Xiulan answered with a smile.
"Why are you here?" When he saw it was Jiang Yuning, Gu Xingdong's brows furrowed almost invisible.
"Xingdong." Jiang Yuning saw him coming in and stood up from the stool: "I heard that auntie was sick, so I came over to take a look."
As if she could tell that Gu Xingdong didn't welcome her very much, there was a hint of caution in her eyes.
"Have you finished reading? The doctor specifically told my mother to rest more. You should go back first."
"I'm really sorry. I was so chatting with my uncle and aunt that I forgot about taking a rest. I'm so sorry, uncle and aunt, so I'll go back first."
Jiang Yuning raised her legs and walked towards the door. When she passed Gu Xingdong, she paused slightly: "Xingdong, aren't you going to see me off?"
"Mom and Dad, let me go out first." After Gu Xingdong finished speaking, he walked out first.
Li Xiulan's ward was on the third floor. Gu Xingdong sent her downstairs and was about to turn around and go back.
Jiang Yuning said hurriedly: "Xingdong, can you accompany me for a walk?"
"cannot."
Jiang Yuning bit her lip: "I have a few words to say to you."
Gu Xingdong didn't move at all: "Go ahead."
"I……"
Jiang Yuning was a little annoyed, but had no choice but to hesitate for a long time. He seemed to finally make up his mind and said, "Xingdong, don't you understand my feelings for you?"
"I don't understand." Gu Xingdong's face was a little cold. He looked at her with a smile but said, "If nothing happens, you don't have to come over. Our relationship is not particularly close to begin with."
"Xingdong!" Seeing him turn around, Jiang Yuning stepped forward to stop him, with a stubborn look in his eyes: "I have liked you for eight years. I obviously met you first, but you would rather marry a country woman than respond to me.
Do you know how I lived these eight years?"
"You are married in the military. I didn't even have the courage to confess my love. I also tried to persuade myself to let it go, but I found that I couldn't let it go. In order to be closer to you, I applied to join the army, but you said silently Just leave, is it worth giving up your career for a woman?"
Gu Xingdong narrowed his eyes coldly: "It has nothing to do with you."
"Xingdong, you are so good. You should not give up your career for anyone. If you are willing to pursue an official career based on your strength, as long as someone gives you a gentle push from behind..."
"I don't want to."
"Why? There is obviously a shortcut road in front of you, but you are willing to degenerate into a profit-seeking businessman and choose the most difficult and hopeless road?"
She has the right to pursue happiness, and since Gu Xingdong's identity has changed now, she has nothing to worry about anymore.
"I am free to choose what I do. For the sake of being a colleague, I don't want to say anything unpleasant. From now on, we will act as if we don't know each other. What you said today will only be treated as hysterical nonsense." Gu Xingdong turned around and walked towards the hall.
Looking at his back, Jiang Yuning asked unwillingly: "How am I inferior to that woman?"
Her voice was not suppressed, and people walking around suddenly stopped and pointed at the two of them.
"What's going on? Is this woman attracted to a gay man? She's quite pretty and quite courageous." A man said curiously.
"I didn't hear her mention another girl. Could it be that this guy is playing with other people's feelings? Tsk, tsk, he looks like a very energetic young man, but he really can't be judged by his appearance."
There is so little news in the media these days. If there is any slight disturbance around you, everyone can immediately think of a series of plots, and even point at it and make comments in a matter-of-fact way.
Gu Xingdong turned around and looked at Jiang Yuning with cold eyes: "She is the best woman in the world. No one can compare with her. I have no feelings for you at all. Don't ask for trouble with me. This Are you satisfied with the answer?"
Jiang Yuning's face suddenly became very ugly, and her body seemed to be trembling slightly because she could not bear Gu Xingdong's words, like a delicate flower that was about to be blown away at any time in the autumn wind.
"Comrade, you are going too far. How can a petite girl say such hurtful words?" Immediately, a man stood up to fight against the injustice because he couldn't stand it.
"Yes, if a girl confesses her love to you, forget it if you don't accept it. Why humiliate her?" An old man also followed up.
"I really don't know who my man has humiliated." A cold female voice came, and everyone looked sideways.
Gu Xingdong looked at the people walking out of the crowd with a smile in his eyes: "When did you come?"
"It's been a while." Chen Lishu walked to him and said with a smile: "I just want to see what my husband would do when faced with a beautiful woman's confession."
Gu Xingdong raised his eyebrows, with a bit of doting in his tone: "Are you satisfied with the result?"
Chen Lishu was noncommittal: "Not bad."
Seeing how they were quarreling with each other, Jiang Yuning felt extremely dazzled. He clenched his fists and asked, "Chen Lishu, what do you mean?"
"Heh. You have the nerve to ask me what I mean?"
Chen Lishu looked at her and sneered: "You think it's a glorious thing to express love to a married man in public, so you want me to help you publicize it, right?"
