Seeing that she looked a little down, Gu Mang smiled and lifted her long hair.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Can sighed softly and gave a bitter smile.
“There’s no good way to get revenge on them for now,” she said in a low voice. “I don’t want to make this public, it’s not exactly honorable… People like them can do evil and still live their lives as if nothing happened, but I’m powerless to do anything about it. I can’t touch them in the slightest.”
"I can only pretend that nothing happened and endure it for now. When I am strong enough to stand up to them, I will settle the score with them!"
Gu Mang looked at her and smiled gently.
Jiang Can is not a weak or easily bullied woman.
Not only are they not weak, but they also have strong likes and dislikes, are resilient and patient, and will always seek revenge.
They can remain calm and protect themselves in critical moments, and even have the determination and courage to fight to the death.
This is practically a carbon copy of him.
A smug smile played on his lips as he thought about it, and he felt increasingly proud of himself. This was exactly how his woman should be!
After being ambushed, he endured the situation and even changed his name to live in hiding in Jiangzhou, all in order to one day wipe out Huo Zhanhe and his gang.
He could endure it, but he didn't want his woman to suffer the same way.
"Honey, let me ask you something," he chuckled, "If you had superpowers right now, how would you deal with those who hurt you?"
"What?" Jiang Can stared at him with wide eyes.
"Since we're just chatting, let's talk about anything and everything." He looked at her. "Imagine how you would punish them?"
Jiang Can rolled her big eyes and grinned sheepishly. "It's not really about punishment, I just hope those wicked people get their just desserts! That they suffer all the pain I've endured, and then never, ever appear before me again!"
Gu Mang nodded and chuckled softly in her ear, "Yes, ma'am."
"What did you say?"
"It's nothing." He helped her lie down. "Are you tired? Get some rest. I'll go buy you some millet porridge."
After Jiang Can fell asleep, Gu Mang quietly left the ward.
Bai Jingyuan stood outside, his face full of apology and ingratiation.
He had also injured his leg and was limping with crutches, his head wrapped up like a rice dumpling. Ye Chen was supporting him; the two of them had been waiting at the ward door for quite a while.
Gu Mang glared at him, his gaze sharp.
"Third Brother, I'm so...so sorry," Bai Jingyuan said regretfully. "But I swear to you, if I had made a move on Jiang Can that night, may I be hit by a car and die!"
"You've already been hit by a car once," Gu Mang said coldly. "You're so lucky, you didn't die!"
Bai Jingyuan paused for a moment, then chuckled.
"Third Brother, I did intend to take my sister-in-law home that night, but I had to put on a show in front of those two beasts, right? Just in case..."
"No need to explain, I understand."
Gu Mang had a cold face.
Huo Zhanhe might send someone to assassinate him at any time. Jiangzhou is no longer safe. If some people with ulterior motives target Jiang Can, he will be in a very passive position.
Therefore, he must be careful in everything he does, and the fewer people who know about his relationship with Jiang Can, the better.
"Did you all hear what she just said to me?"
Bai Jingyuan was taken aback, but Ye Chen reacted quickly and immediately asked, "Is it about how to punish Sun Teng and Fang Jinyang?"
Gu Mang nodded.
Ye Chen was both amused and exasperated. "Third Brother, are we really going to do it her way?"
"Otherwise what?" Gu Mang's eyes sharpened, and he raised his voice. "You're not going to do it yourself? You want me to take care of it?"
"I'll do it, I definitely will!" Bai Jingyuan couldn't wait for a chance to redeem himself. "Anyone my sister-in-law doesn't want to see will never appear in front of her again!"
Gu Mang gave a muffled "hmm," put his hands behind his back, and swaggered off to buy millet porridge.
Ye Chen glanced at Bai Jingyuan speechlessly.
"Do you think... Third Brother can still go back to Yangcheng?"
"I'm not worried about that," Bai Jingyuan smiled. "What I'm worried about is, what will happen to Jiang Can, who's so stubborn, if she finds out one day that Third Brother isn't Gu Mang?"
