Chapter 48: (So satisfying!) Ning Tang's lover has arrived!
investigation?
Grandma Xu knew perfectly well that she was hoping this matter would escalate so that Ning Tang would be unable to hold her head high at home or outside!
She stared at Wenya, her eyes blazing with anger.
"Tangtang is pregnant. She's busy at the hospital during the day and still worries about me when she gets home at night. She doesn't even have time for herself."
"Those people at the hospital are spreading rumors. As their sister-in-law, you not only don't help clarify things, but you also take advantage of my wake-up time to add fuel to the fire. What are you up to?"
Grandpa Xu also put down his chopsticks and said in a deep voice:
"Wenya, I think you've lost your mind."
"We, the old couple, know Tangtang's character better than anyone else. If you want what's best for the Xu family, you should focus on serious matters instead of spending your days scheming and stirring up trouble!"
"I'm making this clear today: from now on, if I ever hear anyone say a bad word about Tangtang, they're not to set foot in the Xu family's house again!"
The words fell.
The atmosphere at the dinner table reached its lowest point.
Xu Qiaoyan and Xu Qiaolan looked at each other with grim expressions.
Su Ying was the only one who didn't care and continued to eat and drink as usual.
Every now and then, he would add a few more bites of food to Ning Tang's plate.
Ning Tang was flattered and overwhelmed.
Wenya couldn't help but roll her eyes at the harmonious scene between the sisters-in-law.
Su Ying, that bitch!
This is a deliberate declaration of war against her!
Xu Qiaofeng also spoke up at the appropriate time: "I will investigate the rumors about the hospital and find out who is spreading these rumors behind my back. I will make that person apologize to Ning Tang in front of everyone in the hospital."
"But second sister-in-law, you must apologize to my wife first for what happened today."
Wenya was about to faint from anger.
This is outrageous! Why should I, as the sister-in-law, have to swallow my pride and apologize to my brother-in-law?
Ning Tang could see through her thoughts and sneered inwardly.
He pretended to be magnanimous and said, "Grandpa and Grandma, I believe my second sister-in-law didn't do it on purpose. How about we just let this matter go..."
"no!"
Grandpa Xu said firmly, "A country has its laws and a family has its rules. This is not only an apology to Tangtang, but also a reminder to everyone what to say and what not to say."
"This time it's at home, but what if they were speaking recklessly in public?"
Grandpa Xu's words were met with agreement from everyone.
Especially the three men in the Xu family.
Their identities are not ordinary; a single word they utter could lead to disaster. As their wife, she naturally has to abide by everything.
Wenya knew she couldn't avoid it any longer.
Biting her lip, she stammered an apology, her voice barely audible.
Seeing this, Ning Tang's smile deepened.
She did it on purpose.
Since Wenya keeps finding fault with her, she won't keep suppressing her feelings and giving in.
Tonight's event is a win-win situation.
...
A night passed.
Xu Qiaofeng drove her to work today.
As soon as he arrived at the hospital entrance, seeing the doctors and nurses in white coats, Xu Qiaofeng remembered something and turned to look at Ning Tang.
"Should we continue to hide our relationship?"
"No need, they already know anyway."
Xu Qiaofeng then asked, "I respect your choice. Do you need me to get involved in this matter? Or can you handle it yourself?"
Ning Tang understood.
Rumors and gossip are unstoppable.
She was able to solve this problem with Xu Qiaofeng, but what about next time? And the time after that?
It's better to rely on yourself than on others.
I still need to stand on my own two feet.
"No need to trouble you, I can manage on my own." Ning Tang smiled slightly.
Xu Qiaofeng didn't force her. In his heart, he thought that although Ning Tang looked very small, she had a vibrant life force.
"Okay, I'll bring you lunch."
"good."
As soon as Ning Tang entered the department, she felt several intense gazes falling on her.
Very strange.
She looked up, and the people immediately looked away. Some of them were slow to react, and you could even see the disgust and contempt in their eyes.
At this moment, Zhang Jiaman walked in.
She abandoned her usual fawning attitude and looked at Ning Tang as if she had seen an enemy.
"Ning Tang, how dare you come to the hospital?"
"I thought you'd be ashamed to face anyone after hearing the rumors about being pregnant out of wedlock! I never expected you to be so shameless. I really misjudged you!"
These words were spoken.
The others, sensing Ning Tang's reaction, didn't respond, assuming it was true, and immediately gained confidence.
They also joined in pointing and commenting.
"That's right! We used to think you were a nice person, but now it seems like it was all an act!"
"The most vicious heart is that of a woman. She speaks ill of Director Lu's daughter behind her back. She didn't get sick willingly. Life is hard enough as it is, and she has to be cursed by people like you! It's no wonder that Director Lu went to the hospital director to make things difficult for you yesterday!"
Ning Tang raised an eyebrow.
The key points were grasped.
"Who told you about Director Lu's matter?"
No more than five people knew about this that day. The dean wouldn't say much, nor would Lu Jiaxiang, so in the end, only Zhang Jiaman and Wang Yan were left.
Wang Yan is a seasoned veteran; she certainly wouldn't offend anyone over such a trivial matter.
In the end, only Zhang Jiaman was left.
Sure enough, when Ning Tang asked the question without batting an eye, all her colleagues blurted it out.
"It was Dr. Zhang who said it!"
"Exactly! If Dr. Zhang hadn't told us, we wouldn't have known you were such a disgusting person!"
Ning Tang looked at Zhang Jiaman, who looked guilty.
He said pointedly, "Yes, it really is disgusting."
"Go ahead and hurl all your insults, use the most vicious words you can."
His open and honest demeanor, ironically, confused the others.
Moreover, Zhang Jiaman seemed even more unnatural than Ning Tang, as if she were the one they were talking about...
Some of the older doctors were wary.
They had only heard it from Zhang Jiaman, who said that the Xu family didn't take this daughter-in-law seriously at all.
But thinking about it carefully, if he didn't like her, why would he let Ning Tang into the house? Shouldn't he have prevented her from marrying into the family?
As a result, the number of people attacking Ning Tang decreased by half, and no one wanted to be used as a pawn.
Zhang Jiaman was furious at these fickle people!
Yesterday they ate their own chocolates and agreed to work together today to kick Ning Tang out of the hospital, but in the blink of an eye they all changed their minds!
Thinking that Ningxin should be arriving with her lover by now.
Zhang Jiaman raised her chin and looked at Ning Tang with a strange pity in her eyes.
"Just you wait, you'll regret this."
"If I don't get you out of this hospital today, I, Zhang Jiaman, will take your surname from now on!"
Ning Tang waved her hand: "Forget it, I don't have an unfilial daughter like you."
Eloquent and persuasive!
Now all he's good at is talking!
Zhang Jiaman couldn't wait to see Ning Tang make a fool of herself. After giving a cold laugh, she walked downstairs from the hospital.
From afar, you could see Ning Xin standing furtively behind a big tree.
When he saw her coming, he raised his hand to greet her.
"Where is that adulterer you mentioned?" Zhang Jiaman looked around and frowned at Ning Xin, who was alone.
This damn idiot isn't lying to himself, is he?
Ning Xin: "What's the rush? He'll be here soon."
Just then, a very tall man with a somewhat fierce air walked towards them.
