Chapter 49: Disruption at the Hospital
The man's name is Liu Ming.
Ningxin met him at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative this morning.
After inquiring, I learned that he lived in the countryside and had come to the city to buy brown sugar for his pregnant wife, but he didn't have any money.
So Ning Xin took two cents from the money Zhang Jiaman gave her and hired him to come to the hospital entrance.
Everything was explained clearly on the way, including what should be said and what shouldn't be said.
Liu Ming saw a doctor in a white coat, dressed in a fashionable manner, looking at him suspiciously, and immediately realized that this was Zhang Jiaman, whom Ning Xin had mentioned.
"Are you sure this man is Ning Tang's lover?"
"He looks like a country bumpkin, he wouldn't stand out in a crowd, I wouldn't even look at him, how could she possibly like him?"
Seeing Zhang Jiaman's suspicion, Ning Xin immediately smiled and explained.
Everyone has their own taste.
"Besides, Ning Tang likes to take other people's things, especially men. Believe me, when Ning Tang sees him later, she definitely won't admit that she knows him."
As she spoke, Ning Xin secretly gave Liu Ming a wink.
Actually, he had already started to have second thoughts after agreeing to the task, but when he thought of his wife at home, he gritted his teeth and, following Ningxin's instructions on the way, pretended to be angry and said it.
"This woman is so good at charming men because she's beautiful!"
"We were dating perfectly fine at first, but then one day she suddenly wrote me a letter saying she wanted to break up with me, and even said she was going to take our child and call another guy 'Dad'!"
"I initially thought they were a pair of adulterers, but it turns out that the guy was also set up."
"As a man, I feel I should come out and warn him, lest he follow in my footsteps!"
Liu Ming's expression perfectly resembled that of someone who had been cheated on by their woman.
Zhang Jiaman's initial suspicion had largely subsided, and she looked at Liu Ming with more sympathy.
She said indignantly, "I knew Ning Tang was no good. She pretends to be noble on the surface, but she does all sorts of dirty things behind the scenes."
Ning Xin saw this.
He was so proud of himself that he could hardly contain himself.
She pressed her advantage, saying, "Dr. Zhang, now you should believe me, right?"
“We are all honest people. If we hadn’t been heartbroken, we wouldn’t have come here to tear each other apart.”
"Besides, I think a good man like Captain Xu Qiaofeng deserves to be with Doctor Zhang!"
Zhang Jiaman's lips were almost unable to hold back her smile.
She lifted her chin and asked with a haughty air, "Really?"
"Of course it's true, Ning Tang can't even compare to your toes."
Zhang Jiaman was praised to the skies.
My head feels dizzy.
As if bestowing charity, he waved and led the two toward the small gate of the military hospital.
As I walked, I felt inexplicably that something was off, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it, and eventually I just ignored it.
Even if you gave those two a hundred lives, they wouldn't dare lie to you.
Zhang Jiaman had already made up her mind.
It's morning now, a time when there aren't many people around.
There will be a lot of people at noon, so she'll have Ning Xin and Liu Ming take advantage of the chaos to jump out and cause a ruckus at the department entrance.
I refuse to believe that Ning Tang can make a perfect escape with another excuse!
After arranging for the two to stay in the hospital garden, Zhang Jiaman hurriedly left.
...
Time flew by and it was noon.
All the doctors and nurses in the hospital were preparing to rest and go to the cafeteria for lunch.
Since Xu Qiaofeng brought her food today, Ning Tang wasn't in a hurry to go to the cafeteria.
Coincidentally, the cafeteria is located in the lobby on the first floor.
Ning Tang had just arrived on the first floor and was about to find a place to sit and wait for Xu Qiaofeng when she saw a man rushing over from not far away.
She thought he was looking for someone else, and subconsciously moved aside to make room for him.
As they brushed past each other, the man suddenly knelt down in front of him with a thud.
Grabbing Ning Tang's trouser leg, she burst into tears:
"Tangtang, how could you just leave like that!"
"Can our years of affection really be no match for vulgar money?"
Liu Ming's cries were loud and clear, his tears and snot mixed together, attracting the attention of the medical staff who were getting food nearby.
Even the long queues at the outpatient clinic on the first floor have stopped; people are coming in with their medicine bottles to get injections.
In an instant, the surrounding area was filled with onlookers.
Ning Tang was so startled by the sudden deep bow that she took several steps back.
The trouser leg was gripped tightly, and there was no way to break free.
She frowned and shook herself forcefully: "Sir, are you sure you're not mistaken? I don't know you at all."
"Mistaken identity?"
Liu Ming sniffed hard, his voice rising unconsciously.
"Tangtang, you and I pledged our lives to each other under the old locust tree, and you said you'd spend your whole life with me. Have you forgotten all of that? I'll never forget. Even if you turn to ashes, I'll still recognize you!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
The surrounding chatter exploded like water poured into a hot oil pan.
The older ones, unafraid of losing face, openly pointed and gossiped about Ning Tang.
"This girl seems quite quiet and gentle, how could she do something like starting something and then abandoning it?"
"That's right, the young man is crying so hard, he must have suffered a great injustice. A man doesn't easily shed tears, but he even knelt down, he must be seriously hurt."
“It breaks my heart to see him like this. I have many daughters. If he doesn’t mind, he can come and be my son-in-law.”
Meanwhile, Ning Tang's colleagues at the hospital, though not in the same department, had also heard about the rumors circulating about her these past few days.
"I heard she even married Captain Xu. If that's true, then all the rumors are true! She married Captain Xu while pregnant with another man's child!"
"My God, this is disgusting. I thought she was a good person before, but I never expected her to be so vicious."
"Captain Xu and this man are both very good people. They were both kept in the dark. It's so pitiful!"
...
The discussions continued unabated.
They were practically ready to rush up and point their fingers at him while he was yelling at them.
Ning Tang, however, was completely unaffected and showed no sign of panic. She just couldn't understand why these people only listened to one side of the story.
She stood there, and the man did all the talking from beginning to end; she hadn't said a word, yet she was being unfairly labeled.
This world is truly outrageous beyond belief.
Ning Tang's face turned cold, and her gaze swept around. Sure enough, she spotted a familiar figure in the corner of the wall.
Ning Xin was originally watching the show, but when she saw her looking over, she subconsciously shuddered.
He then berated himself for being so afraid of Ning Tang.
Anyway, she has no evidence, so she won't be able to defend herself in the end. She won't have time to worry about me.
Upon seeing Ning Xin, Ning Tang understood everything.
Turning to look at Liu Ming, who was still hugging his leg and crying, she spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"You're the person Ningxin found, right?"
"What did she give you that made you deliberately smear me in front of so many people?"
Liu Ming paused in his sobbing, looking somewhat flustered.
"What nonsense are you spouting? What Ningxin? I don't know her."
"You're my ex-girlfriend. You abandoned your husband and children for another man, and now you can even lie like you don't know me!"
