"Apologize? You are the ones who should truly apologize!" Gu Xingdong's face flushed with anger, and he slammed his hand hard on the table.
Zhang Wan'er met Gu Xingdong's deep gaze, her thin lips curling. For some reason, she felt as if her innermost thoughts were being seen through!
She knew Chen Lishu always liked to use her phone and record everything with a camera. However, when Chen Lishu was feeding her earlier, she had both hands occupied. This was also her exclusive ward, so there shouldn't be any recording equipment that could capture the truth!
Since that was the case, she had nothing to fear. Even now, she stubbornly insisted, "Since Xingdong, you don't believe what I'm saying, then there's nothing more to discuss. You can leave!
I won't hold you responsible, nor do I need an apology. It's just that if you unconditionally indulge your woman and let her do evil, she will eventually kill you!"
Gu Xingdong listened to her words, a cold smile appearing on his face. Then, his gaze turned slightly cold as he said, "You say Chen Lishu tried to kill you, so why isn't there a single mark on your neck?
Targeting you? I don't think it's necessary at all. No matter what happens, I will unconditionally stand behind Lishu. I give her enough security, so why would I be jealous of you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room instantly fell into silence. Even Yang Zhiguo subconsciously looked at Zhang Wan'er's neck; it was clean and without a single scratch!
Yang Zhiguo seemed to realize something. Trembling, he went before Zhang Wan'er and whispered in her ear, questioning her, "Wan'er, tell your uncle honestly, did you orchestrate this?"
"Uncle..." How could Zhang Wan'er admit that without surveillance, the truth was just something she made up with her mouth?
Just as she was about to deny it, Gu Xingdong's voice cut through again, "Director Yang, I don't have the extra time to waste here with your niece. You've already disturbed my work repeatedly. I don't even want this job anymore!
I intend to resign. Rest assured, I know my status is quite special, so I won't go into business. Instead, I'll stay at home. If the higher-ups send people to monitor me, since we haven't done anything wrong, there's nothing to be afraid of. Let them come."
Hearing Gu Xingdong's words, Zhang Wan'er inwardly thought, this is bad. If Gu Xingdong chose to leave the military, how would she approach him in the future? Wouldn't she have no chance then?
Thinking of this, tears once again flowed uncontrollably from Zhang Wan'er's eyes. She struggled to get up, muttering, "I was wrong, I know I was wrong!
I didn't intentionally frame Miss Chen. I saw that when Miss Chen learned about the news of me and Gu Xingdong together, her expression was not very good. I thought she was angry!
I'm lying here, unable to move, and Miss Chen approached me. At that time, I thought she was retaliating. My previous statement was because I was flustered, and I spoke carelessly!"
Zhang Wan'er's excuse was delivered so naturally, but the people present knew how much truth it contained. Gu Xingdong didn't even bother to cast a glance at her. Instead, he firmly held Chen Lishu's hand.
"Regarding my departure from the military, Director Yang, if you don't agree, then I will have to find someone higher up to approve it!"
Yang Zhiguo also wanted to apologize and keep Gu Xingdong there, but the words wouldn't come out. He was a leader, after all. Did Gu Xingdong really need to embarrass him repeatedly?
Thinking of this, Yang Zhiguo snorted coldly, his expression unusually indifferent, and said, "Fine, if you want to leave the military so badly, I'll grant it. Once I get back, I'll draft a document!"
Seeing that Yang Zhiguo had agreed to the matter, Gu Xingdong no longer wanted to waste time here. He held Chen Lishu's hand tightly and left the ward.
Watching their retreating figures, Zhang Wan'er clenched her fists, bit her lower lip fiercely, and directly yelled at Yang Zhiguo, "Uncle, what are you doing? Why did you let Gu Xingdong leave the military?"
Yang Zhiguo turned around, looking at Zhang Wan'er with an extremely complex gaze, and coldly lectured, "What did you tell me back then? You said you had no such thoughts about Gu Xingdong! But what are you doing now?
I think it's a good thing Gu Xingdong can leave the military. That way, you won't be thinking about him all day. He's a married man, how can he be worthy of you?"
Zhang Wan'er sobbed softly and asked, "But didn't you say Gu Xingdong was a good choice?"
Yang Zhiguo said with some disappointment, "He is indeed a good choice, provided he doesn't like Chen Lishu. A forcefully twisted melon is not sweet. Why should you waste your time on him? Given your identity and status, finding someone better than him is not difficult!"
"I don't want anyone else, I only want him!" Zhang Wan'er was very persistent about this matter.
Seeing her throwing a tantrum, Yang Zhiguo stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes wide open, and roared, "Unreasonable!" He then turned and left the ward.
Meanwhile, in another ward.
After receiving two bags of saline, Xiao Bai's condition had improved significantly compared to before. Gu Xingdong looked at the somewhat tired Chen Lishu, pulled her into his arms, and asked softly, "I resigned from my job in the military again, will you be unhappy?"
Hearing the question, Chen Lishu narrowed her eyes, withdrew from Gu Xingdong's embrace, and said very seriously, "Why would I be unhappy? In the future, you will have more time to spend with me and the children. I couldn't wish for it!
The main thing is that Director Yang went too far this time. I was very worried that if you stayed in the military for too long, he would use his authority to force you to accept Zhang Wan'er. If you left then, what would happen to me and the children?
Zhang Wan'er's status is too 'noble.' Since we can't afford to offend her, why not avoid her? We have so many businesses at home, and I can't manage them all myself. You can help me then."
Listening to Chen Lishu's comfort, Gu Xingdong couldn't help but laugh, "This matter is almost resolved. Why don't our family choose a time to go on a trip?"
Was the matter almost resolved? Chen Lishu didn't think so, but that didn't stop their family from going on a trip. After thinking for a moment, Chen Lishu slowly said, "We'll go back to the courtyard house in a while. There are also many attractions nearby!"
