Chapter 190: My brother's last words

Mingzhu was curious about what she would say, so she readily agreed: "Okay."

"Then come with me," Ning Shuang walked upstairs, went straight to the obstetrics and gynecology department, and took her to an empty ward.

Mingzhu was casual, pulled the stool next to the bed, and sat down comfortably.

Ning Shuang glanced at her, walked to the window, crossed her arms around her chest, stood there, and spoke in a very calm tone.

"You should have seen that I don't particularly like you, because before you appeared, everyone, including myself, believed that Jiang Duo and I were going to get married. Our two families are of similar financial status and have been in close contact since the elders' generation. And he has been in my life since I was born. From childhood to adulthood, I have always liked him, so much that... I can die for him."

Mingzhu saw Ning Shuang calmly telling her emotions, and she really felt that this woman's aura was not comparable to the former Ming Xiaojie and the current Huang Yu.

Her thoughts were much deeper than she thought.

If she was really just the original owner at the age of 18, she would probably feel ashamed just by looking at the other party in such a state, and even feel inferior because she is not worthy of Jiang Duo, but... now it is her own soul that lives in this body.

She has also received a good education since childhood, and her family conditions are even better than the other party. She has lived for 30 years and has understood enough of the ways of the world.

Therefore, no matter how strong Ning Shuang's aura is, it is really not worth mentioning to her.

She met Ning Shuang's gaze frankly, with a faint smile on the corner of her lips, and her tone was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Since Dr. Xiao Ning is so frank, then I won't hide it. In fact, I don't like you either."

She said she didn't like herself, so she told her that she didn't like her either. It was reasonable.

She continued: "When I married Jiang Duo, Jiang Duo was single. We were together because of love. We have a good relationship and he loves me very much. Everyone around me can see this.

But now Dr. Xiao Ning suddenly jumped out and said that everyone thinks that you and Jiang Duo are a perfect match. So what does Dr. Xiao Ning want me and Jiang Duo to do? We have a good relationship. Are we going to get a divorce just because of what the people around you think?"

Ning Shuang said calmly: "I'm just stating the facts."

Mingzhu lowered her eyes and chuckled. There was no anger in her eyes, as if she had really just heard some interesting joke.

"Really? Then may I ask, what you call a close relationship with him, is it defined by all of you, or has he admitted it himself? I can confront him with you right now. As long as he admits to saying this, I can divorce him immediately and make you two happy."

Ning Shuang looked at Mingzhu's calm face, and she felt a little angry. She really didn't expect that this young rural girl would have such ability to fight against her.

It seems that she really underestimated her. Seeing

that Ning Shuang didn't say anything, Mingzhu restrained the smile on her face and her eyes became solemn.

"He is 27 this year and you are 22. You have already reached the age to get married. If he really promised you, it is impossible that he has not married you yet. So you have no reason to vent your anger on me about your failure to marry Jiang Duo. I have no obligation to bear your resentment."

Ning Shuang's face changed expression. The calmness and indifference just now were replaced by visible irritation.

She was silent for a long time before she finally spoke again: "But have you ever thought about the backgrounds of your two families? Jiang Duo's family is...very well-off, and you are just a girl from the countryside. I don't mean to slander rural girls, but your views, knowledge, and living habits are not on the same level. You are not a good match. Do you really think you can last long?"

Mingzhu chuckled. "This is not something that Dr. Xiao Ning should worry about. We will be together for a long time."

She said, raising her wrist to check the time on her watch: "I am still helping someone to be discharged from the hospital. If Dr. Xiao Ning has nothing else to talk to me about, then I will go back first."

She said, nodded faintly to Ning Shuang, stood up and walked to the door. As soon as she opened the door, she heard Ning Shuang's voice again.

"Jiang Duo promised my brother that he would marry me before he died. I have been waiting for him and never changed my mind. So, he is not trustworthy."

Mingzhu paused at the door and turned to look at Ning Shuang.

Ning Shuang's eyes were firm: "He can break his promise, but I will not break my promise. Miss Ming, I will not give up Jiang Duo. I will compete with you fairly. I just hope that if Jiang Duo chooses me in the future, you can let him go."

Mingzhu retracted her gaze: "If he has any hesitation towards me, I will never pester him. If the person I love does not love me wholeheartedly, then I would rather not have him." After

she finished speaking, she opened the door and walked away with her head held high.

Ning Shuang looked at the tightly closed door of the ward, and angrily raised her hand to sweep away the pillow on the bed.

This woman is just a country girl from the countryside who knows nothing. What capital does she have to compete with her?

She would not give up. She had a million ways to crush her and let her know clearly that the gap between her and herself was more than just a river or sea!

Although Mingzhu was full of momentum, her mood... was inexplicably bad.

She went downstairs to the cardiology department, got some hot water and sent it back to the ward. Wang Cuiju and Wang Jue had also returned after completing the formalities.

Wang Jue poured the hot water into the military green kettle they were going to bring with them, thanked Mingzhu and Wang Cuiju over and over again, and then helped Cai Baolian get out of bed, ready to catch the train back home.

In the past, whenever he touched Cai Baolian, she would curse at him, but at this moment, she actually looked at him with affection and didn't say a single bad word. He was a little puzzled, but... he was quite happy in his heart.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Cai Baolian retracted her gaze and cast a grateful look at Mingzhu.

Mingzhu looked at the little ambiguity between the two, and naturally hoped that her efforts were not in vain.

After seeing the two off, Mingzhu took Wang Cuiju to the emergency room downstairs.

Hou Xiaoqing had just finished her work and saw Mingzhu leaning against the wall absent-mindedly watching Wang Cuiju making a plaster for someone. She walked over, patted her shoulder, and asked with a smile, "Child, what are you thinking about?"

Mingzhu looked at Hou Xiaoqing and thought of her straightforward and honest character, and that she happened to be a close relative of the Jiang family. She couldn't help her curiosity and asked, "Aunt, I want to ask you a question. I heard that Ningshuang's brother passed away, and before he died... he entrusted Ningshuang to Jiang Duo, and Jiang Duo also promised to marry her. Is that true?"
