Chapter 500: Chapter 500

She wiped her tears with grievance, "The humiliation you give me today, I will return a hundredfold tomorrow! Since I can’t climb up using your influence, I will personally pull you down!"

"Gu Junming, just you wait." She said sinisterly.

The last bus didn’t come, she stood there as the sky turned completely dark, starting to feel anxious. Is it too late?

How will I get back? It’s so remote here, and catching a ride is impossible. Even hitchhiking, I don’t have the courage. She felt even more wronged, how could it be, I’m Gu Junming’s old acquaintance after all!

Just when she didn’t know what to do, someone behind her said: "Are you Nurse Wan Yunhong? What are you doing here?"

Turning around, she saw it was Liu Gang. Because she was one of the nurses who took care of his fiancée and Ai Mei, she had met him before, and because she was extraordinarily beautiful, Liu Gang had a good impression of her. Seeing her standing there, he approached quickly.

But as he got closer, Liu Gang saw the tears on Wan Yunhong’s face, and he was stunned.

"What happened? Seems like you’ve been wronged?"

Wan Yunhong snorted: "No, I wanted to take the last bus home, but who knew the bus was gone."

"Few people come here, if the driver sees no one, it might not run. You can’t get back, huh."

"Oh no, what am I going to do now?" Wan Yunhong cried even more sorrowfully.

Liu Gang said: "Then come to my place first. I’ll try to think of something for you."

"No need!" Wan Yunhong instinctively refused.

This man has a bad reputation, lustful and unfaithful, plus a particularly opportunistic guy. She had heard plenty of his exploits in the hospital!

Liu Gang felt displeased, but he wasn’t stupid, he clearly sensed her rejection of him, all because of that damned Ai Mei, making people think I’m a lustful and unfaithful man!

He wasn’t actually lustful; he sought women just to climb up the ladder. His fondness for power was very similar to Wan Yunhong’s.

He smiled and said: "Don’t worry, I’m not taking you to my home. My wife is like that, if she knows you’re with me, she might kill me. I’m afraid even if you’re not, I’m taking you to an internal guesthouse where you can stay."

Wan Yunhong sighed in relief: "I know. Thank you."

"Let’s go." Liu Gang walked ahead.

Wan Yunhong followed at a distance, looking around, afraid of being seen.

She wasn’t worried about rumors spreading about her and Gu Junming, she desired that kind of news.

But she was more reluctant with Liu Gang.

This man’s reputation was too poor. There’s no future for him in politics, even if his current position isn’t low, but he could never be entrusted with heavy responsibilities.

Moreover, according to military protocol, if he can’t keep rising, he’ll have to retire or be discharged. She didn’t want any association with such a man! For Wan Yunhong, a man who can’t rise is practically a defective product. No need for contact.

Even though Liu Gang was nice to her and meticulously helped her register to stay, Wan Yunhong only politely said a few words and wanted him to leave.

Liu Gang naturally understood her aloofness and indifference, smiling, he said: "Don’t worry, I never wanted women."

Wan Yunhong was stunned: "What did you say?"

"The reason I didn’t want Ai Mei was not because she wasn’t beautiful or couldn’t have kids. You’ve seen my new fiancée, and she doesn’t quite qualify as a beauty."

Wan Yunhong frowned slightly but didn’t speak, indeed not very pretty.

Liu Gang sighed: "My life is a tragedy, born in the countryside, with no one to rely on, everything depends on climbing by myself, you can’t imagine how exhausting it is. Whereas Gu Junming, Yan Kai, and others, it’s easier for them due to their fathers’ military connections. Take Wang Hu, despite that scandal with Yao DianDian, when it comes time for promotion, it won’t be missed! Won’t even be affected! What if that were me? I know, without rising, I’ll likely have to transfer by the end of next year. I blame no one but myself for not having good parents."

These words left Wan Yunhong dumbfounded. After a while, she said: "Gu Junming is indeed capable."

"Isn’t he? So smart! When his biological father was implicated, he immediately found a foster father from poor farming background. When his father was cleared and rehabilitated, he quickly reconnected with his urban father, becoming a deputy regimental commander in his twenties. He’s bound for a promising future. And during the flood relief, I... never mind, forget it." Liu Gang smiled wryly.

Wan Yunhong could feel Liu Gang’s pent-up frustration and hatred for Gu Junming, thinking, maybe he could help me get revenge? Even though she hadn’t thought of a plan yet, finding someone who disliked him was hard enough.

So her attitude towards him changed significantly: "Gu Junming is more treacherous than I imagined."

"Yes, by the way, I haven’t asked why you were standing there so late, is it related to Gu Junming?"

She nodded: "Yes, we’re from the same village, came to visit, but he thought I was sabotaging his marriage and kicked me out."

"Ha. Gu Junming is always like that, thinking of himself as the noblest, fearing anyone affecting his image. Do you know what that’s called? A hypocrite, shrouded in righteousness, utterly worthless."

Wan Yunhong nodded smilingly: "Exactly, I misjudged him, and won’t interact with him anymore."

With someone like that, you can’t use reputation against him. Wan Yunhong felt disheartened. But if Gu Junming likes power, could I find a way to disgrace him? Thıs text ıs hosted at novel·fiɾe·net

"Rest now, I have to leave." Liu Gang smiled: "You can go straight away tomorrow morning. Forget about this. Gu Junming isn’t of good intentions, you better stay away."

"I understand." Wan Yunhong saw Liu Gang off. Then she washed her face, looked at her exquisite and beautiful face in the mirror, thinking, I’m so beautiful, if I don’t marry a military commander, that’d be wasted.

How can I tolerate such humiliation from just a deputy regiment leader?

She tapped the mirror with her finger, then smiled: "Hmm, maybe I can find someone else, someone powerful. I will succeed, won’t I?"

Zhuang Lin quickly spread the incident of how Gu Junming rebuffed Wan Yunhong everywhere; everyone said Gu Junming was good, being a loving husband. Some also said he was inconsiderate.

Anyway, there was all kinds of talk, but it didn’t affect Gu Junming.

That day, when Sun Chan finished class, she saw her parents waiting at the school gate, which was a bit surprising, but she still smiled and walked over.
