When Xu Manzhi received the news, she couldn't help but shake her head.
She knew she couldn't persuade Gu Meiyun.
They underestimated Jiang Mingda's ruthlessness; he even abandoned his own wife. Does this mean he has no intention of winning over the Gu family?
That shouldn't be the case.
When she rushed to the hospital, Gu Meiyun was in a vegetative state, lying motionless on the hospital bed.
Jiang Pengyue lay by the bedside, while Jiang Hejun knelt, repeatedly calling out "Mom"—
When Zhou Xiangqun saw her coming, he immediately stepped forward and comforted her, saying, "Pengyue, don't be sad. Your mother was so heartbroken because of what happened to your second and third brothers that she hit her head against the wall."
"oh."
Xu Manzhi remained calm, her gaze fixed on Jiang Mingda.
The other person, receiving her scrutiny, clenched their fists and wiped away crocodile tears with a handkerchief, crying, "Meiyun, you're so stupid. Our family still has Yueyue and Hejun. They are the future of the Jiang family. How can you not see that?"
"Secretary Jiang, don't be sad. Fortunately, the rescue was timely and he survived."
"Yes, she hit her head so hard that her brains came out."
"Even if she doesn't think about herself, she should think about her daughter and eldest son."
"You're really unlucky. You've been haunted by evil spirits lately. Why don't you find a master to come and take a look and get rid of the evil spirits?"
While grieving, Jiang Mingda accepted condolences from his colleagues and superiors.
He stated, "I will take care of Meiyun for the rest of my life. As long as she lives, I will watch over her. After all, she is my wife and the woman I love most in my life."
Yue.
Xu Manzhi is experiencing physical discomfort.
This man is a master actor, yet he can say such disgusting things without any remorse. How can he say such things without any psychological burden?
"Oh, Mingda, you really are a good man. Meiyun is too unlucky to be with you."
"Meiyun is lucky to have met you; you are a good husband."
"Yes, Mingda, you must cheer up and not delay Yueyue and Comrade Zhou's wedding. The wedding date is approaching, so you should focus on the important matter."
The mayor also came and gave Jiang Mingda a raise, telling him to hire a reliable person to take care of Gu Meiyun.
Jiang Mingda repeatedly expressed his gratitude.
He was like the perfect husband and the perfect father the whole time...
Jiang Pengyue kept crying.
She always felt as if she had lost something precious, but she couldn't understand why.
In the past, Gu Meiyun always restricted her and restrained her in every way, which often annoyed her. However, seeing her lying motionless on the bed, she had a kind of feeling of shared sorrow.
"Xiaoyu, don't be sad, your big brother is here, always by your side." Jiang Hejun held his sister's hand and patted it gently.
Jiang Pengyue felt a stinging sensation on the back of her hand.
She gently pulled it out, sobbing, "Big brother, I only have you and Dad left. You two have to take good care of yourselves, otherwise what will I do? Waaah—"
The Gu family arrived and caused a huge scene.
In particular, Gu's father slapped Jiang Mingda across the face in front of everyone and loudly questioned, "My Meiyun was perfectly fine yesterday, why would she hit her head against the wall? I don't believe it, I refuse to believe it even if you beat me to death. I'm warning you, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation, my Gu family will never let this go."
Although the Gu family was not a large or prominent family.
But their status is also quite high.
His deep connection with the Jiang family stems from his relationship with his daughter. Once Gu Meiyun is gone, there will always be a barrier between them, especially since Jiang Mingda is still young and he has lost two sons in succession. There is a 90% chance that he will remarry.
Jiang Mingda apologized repeatedly.
He immediately knelt down, kowtowing and admitting his mistakes, repeatedly promising to investigate thoroughly, to give the Gu family a reason, and to guarantee that he would never remarry, as the Gu family was the only one for him.
Gu's father then went back, grumbling and cursing.
Xu Manzhi, who had been watching the whole thing unfold, started eating right there in the hospital room. She grabbed a peach from a gift box, wiped the fuzz off her clothes, and popped it into her mouth.
Once the Gu family left, the only sound in the ward was her munching on peaches.
Jiang Hejun exploded.
He immediately launched into a tirade: "Are you a cold-blooded animal? Your mother is in this state, and you still have the appetite to eat?"
Xu Manzhi was stunned.
She looked puzzled: "What do you expect me to do? Cry like you? If I cry, she'll come back, and that'll be fine. Or should I put on a tearful performance like Comrade Jiang? I don't have any acting skills."
*smack*
She took another bite.
"You, you, you—" Jiang Hejun was so angry that he could hardly stand, but Jiang Pengyue helped him up.
Jiang Pengyue glared at her resentfully and advised, "Big brother, don't argue with her. You know she's always been heartless."
She had previously worried that Xu Manzhi would steal the love of the Jiang family from her.
Especially when Gu Meiyun repeatedly approached Xu Manzhi, she felt a strong sense of crisis.
Things are different now.
Jiang Mingda and Jiang Hejun hate Xu Manzhi, they hate her intensely.
The more obedient she is, the more she tries to please others.
The more secure her position in the Jiang family became.
“Don’t yell at her. Doesn’t she feel hurt and sad? She’s just not good at expressing herself. You, as her older brother, haven’t raised her for a single day. In a few days, she will be a member of the Zhou family. If you continue to scold her like this, I won’t stand for it,” Zhou Xiangqun said.
He harbored resentment towards Xu Manzhi's indifference.
But as long as they weren't married, he, as her husband, had no legitimate reason to educate her.
Let's wait until after the wedding.
He will train her well and cultivate her into a perfect wife.
Xu Manzhi couldn't be bothered to pay any attention.
She picked up a bamboo basket filled with perfectly ripe peaches. Since Gu Meiyun couldn't eat them anyway, she might as well take them all and find a secluded place to eat them.
Then, amidst the chaos and noise of the room, Xu Manzhi came out carrying a basket.
She saw the cars parked outside as soon as she stepped out.
