Gu Mingfeng's blood froze.
"That's impossible. How could you possibly be dating Xing Haodong?"
What’s even more exaggerated is, when did he become the director of the Anti-Smuggling Bureau?
When did the Anti-Smuggling Bureau appear? How come he had never heard of it?
Ever since he and Bai Ruoxi broke off their engagement, Bai Dingxian's connections automatically distanced themselves from him, so he had no way of knowing the internal information of the public security system.
Information in those days was not as accessible as it is in later generations. In the absence of the Internet, most news could only be transmitted through newspapers and television, and generally, anything that could be reported openly had already been circulated internally.
News aimed at ordinary people is different from internal information specifically for high-level officials.
The Anti-Smuggling Bureau was being established, and the site was chosen near the Shendu City Public Security Bureau. This was something that had been notified through internal information, but he was unable to learn the inside story because he was not in the system.
The fact that Jiang Mingxin could say it openly was obviously due to Xing Haodong's consent.
He actually values her so much?
"Why not? Gu Mingfeng, do you know what your biggest problem is? It's that you're too self-righteous and take yourself too seriously. I've made my words very clear. I hope you'll consider the consequences carefully and stop lying."
"The doctors and nurses at the county hospital, as well as these patients, have no grudges against you. If they unknowingly became your accomplices in spreading rumors, wouldn't that be unfair?"
The smile on Gu Mingfeng's face could no longer be maintained.
"Mingxin, you weren't like this before... How could Xing Haodong, with his background, truly want to be with you? Don't be confused. There's no future for you with him!"
Jiang Mingxin scoffed, "He's not sincere, are you? Don't pretend to be so affectionate and make me sick. Who was the one who dumped me in the first place? Now that he sees that I'm doing well, who is the one who's begging for mercy?"
"Instead of pestering me and trying to gain a sense of existence through me, you might as well spend your precious time improving yourself and becoming a truly valuable person."
After saying that, she turned and was about to leave.
Just at this moment, Gu's mother pushed open the door and walked in. Without saying a word, she raised her hand to slap her.
"Mom, don't!" Gu Mingfeng exclaimed.
As for Jiang Mingxin, he originally just wanted to win her back, play with her and then abandon her.
But she didn't expect that her words just now touched the most vulnerable part of his heart.
Pride is just a protective color for his inferiority and incompetence. Living under the overly heavy expectations of his parents since childhood, he often feels breathless, but his talent is limited and he is unable to meet their requirements.
He didn't dare admit that he was not as good as Xing Haodong, so he could only prove himself through other methods.
Jiang Mingxin did not dodge, but instead grabbed Gu's mother's arm, pushed her forward, and threw her directly onto the bed.
"I told you, this is my last warning. If you dare to mess with me again, don't blame me for being ruthless! Also, I paid for the medical expenses, a total of thirty yuan. Please pay it back immediately!"
Gu Mingfeng was completely embarrassed. Seeing that everyone in the same ward was looking at him strangely, he had no choice but to take out three Big Unity Banknotes from his mother's pocket.
Jiang Mingxin took the money and walked out of the ward without looking back.
But she did not leave in a hurry. Instead, she went to the nurse's station and took a look around.
Firstly, he made it clear that he had nothing to do with Gu Mingfeng, and secondly, he deliberately revealed his identity as the deputy manager of the department store.
"Auntie is busy looking for a partner for him. As long as they are single and have a clean family background, we will consider them. The Gu family is well-off. Uncle Gu was also in the army, but he retired early due to an injury. However, he has a good pension and subsidies."
"The Gu family's house is not small, with three bedrooms and a living room. It's located in the military compound. I won't have to worry about housing when I marry there, and my parents-in-law will help take care of the children. How great!"
After listening to her introduction, many young nurses were moved.
Not to mention anything else, the conditions of the two elders of the Gu family alone are very attractive, not to mention that Gu Mingfeng is the deputy manager of a department store.
Nowadays, everyone knows that department stores are a good place to work. Being a salesperson there is not only more comfortable than being a nurse in a hospital, but the salary is also higher. If you sell a lot of goods, you can also get commissions.
So after Jiang Mingxin left, several nurses volunteered to give medicine to Gu Mingfeng.
Gu's mother was scolding Gu Mingfeng in the ward. Seeing them running over to ask about their family situation in a roundabout way, she became even angrier.
"How dare you covet my Mingfeng? Don't you see what kind of work you do? You serve human feces and urine every day. It's so dirty!"
As soon as these words were spoken, several beautiful young nurses were furious.
"Bah, what kind of good guy is your son? He leaks information and spreads rumors everywhere. He's full of lies. What a shameless person!"
"That's right, he still looks down on us angels in white, and we look down on him!"
"Your son is so precious, why not marry him off to an old sow? I guarantee that no one in the whole county will be as glorious as him!"
Mother Gu couldn't win the argument with them at all, and finally she got so angry that her high blood pressure suffered.
Gu Mingfeng had to apologize to the nurses and was forced to be discharged from the hospital amidst ridicule and sarcasm. He was also prescribed a lot of antihypertensive drugs before he was able to escape and return home with his mother.
In the afternoon, after school, Jiang Mingxin was about to go to Grandpa Fang's bookstore when he saw the group of unreasonable country people again.
They carried several large baskets of garlic and blocked the school gate, trying to force her to surrender.
"Jiang Mingxin, your uncle ran away! Our family's one thousand yuan betrothal gift can't be wasted. You must go back with us!"
