The nurse was stunned. "You mean, you want me to break up with him?"
She started to get tangled up again.
"Although I'm very angry and have thought about breaking up with him countless times, I hesitate when it comes to making a firm decision."
"He hasn't done anything unforgivable, and his social circle is very narrow. After leaving me..."
Jiang Nan Fang interrupted her.
"Let go of your savior complex. You are not a saint."
"Your parents raised you so well and cultivated you to be so outstanding, not for you to be casually trampled on by others. You need to understand this and always remember it."
"If someone loves you, even if they're eating pickles, they'll want to share half with you. Even if they pick wild flowers by the roadside, they'll think of ways to make you happy. But it's clear that's not the case now."
"Even so, if you're still willing to be with him, then don't feel wronged later. People have to pay for their actions, no matter what he does to you, you have to accept it all."
The nurse looked at her hesitantly, thinking it over and over.
"Do you think there's a possibility that he's just too much of a straight man and doesn't know how to make girls happy?"
Jiang Nan Fang wasn't one to jump to conclusions. She thought about it carefully with the nurse.
"It's not impossible. Let me do an experiment for you."
"Ah?"
"I know many male students in the mechatronics major who rarely interact with women at work. Their level of being a 'straight man' should be no worse than your boyfriend's. Let's use them for the experiment."
As she spoke, she opened WeChat, found the group chat for the Gre Electric Technology Department, and sent an emoji.
Soon, everyone flooded out.
They asked Jiang Nan Fang with great surprise how she only remembered them now, where she was, how much they missed her, and when they could meet.
Jiang Nan Fang chatted with them for a while, then posed the question.
"I'm here to ask for everyone's advice on a problem. Please answer truthfully, don't give me any empty talk."
"Absolutely. It's rare for Engineer Jiang to ask for advice, so we must answer truthfully."
Jiang Nan Fang asked, "If you had a girlfriend now, and her birthday was tomorrow, what would you do?"
Everyone answered in a flurry of words.
Give gifts, send flowers, treat her to a meal. Isn't that standard for a boyfriend?
"What if your financial situation isn't very good, and you're just an intern with a monthly salary of three thousand?"
"There isn't just one kind of food, one kind of flower, or one kind of gift in the world. If you have money, give high-end gifts; if you don't have money, give low-end gifts. You can't not give anything just because your salary is low, right? How disappointed would the girl be?"
The nurse's nose twitched as she read the messages, and tears welled up again.
"Then what do you think is appropriate to give for a monthly salary of three thousand?"
"Since it's your girlfriend's birthday, you definitely have to prepare in advance. Especially if your salary is low, you have to prepare even more. See what she likes usually. Observe her secretly and give her what she likes."
Jiang Nan Fang: "What if she loves you very much and has no desires or demands, and you can't tell what she likes at all?"
"Then give her skincare products, clothes, things she uses daily. It's practical and thoughtful. I don't believe she wouldn't like it."
The nurse, angered, turned her face away and cried.
Jiang Nan Fang patted her shoulder.
"It's not necessary. Crying for someone who isn't worth it is self-abuse. In fact, you should thank him for letting you see human nature and avoid future pitfalls."
"How about this? Although these people are a few years older than you, I can guarantee their character and income are decent. Shall I introduce you to some of them?"
The nurse, with a hint of defiance, immediately turned her head.
"Okay. I really don't want to be with that kind of trash anymore. Hurry up and introduce me to someone new!"
Jiang Nan Fang was in a dilemma.
With so many people, who should she introduce them to?
"How about this? Aren't there a few nurses in your class who are single? I'll organize an event, consider it a mixer. We'll all have a meal together, and whether anything comes of it depends on you."
The nurse nodded vigorously.
"Okay. But not today. If I meet them at this time, it'll be obvious I'm asking them for things. In a couple of days. After I break up with him."
The people in the group chat were still clamoring. Jiang Nan Fang said to the nurse, "Then I'll reply to them, saying I'm going to introduce girlfriends to them. They'll be overjoyed."
With Jiang Nan Fang's comfort, the nurse's mood improved significantly.
She wiped away her tears, calmed herself down, and went back to work.
Jiang Nan Fang replied to everyone in the group chat. They were so excited they wished they could jump through the screen to her.
As they chatted, someone finally noticed the key point.
"Why is it a group of nurses? Where do you know nurses from? Did you go to the hospital? Why did you go to the hospital? Who is sick?"
"No one is sick. Do you have to be sick to go to the hospital?"
Foreman Zhang suddenly realized.
"Could it be that you went to the hospital to give birth? Heavens, Engineer Jiang, you're too inconsiderate! You didn't even tell us when you got pregnant!"
"Boy or girl? When were they born? You look down on us! You didn't even let us visit!"
Jiang Nan Fang had put herself in this position, so she had to tell them the truth.
When everyone heard this, they clamored that they had to visit her after work.
Having not seen everyone for a long time, and with such high enthusiasm, she could only agree.
Gre Electric was closer to the hospital than the headquarters of the Warrior Group, so these people rushed over as soon as they got off work.
They even brought flowers, fruits, and toys for the child, making the ward look like a wedding chamber, bustling with activity.
When Zhan Bei Jue returned from work, he heard the deafening noise as soon as he reached the corridor, thinking he had taken a wrong turn.
The nurse, seeing his brow furrowed, quickly came to explain.
"Mr. Zhan, some old colleagues came to see Madam. They arrived just a few minutes before you and just went in."
Zhan Bei Jue knew who it was without even thinking. He nodded to the nurse and pushed the door open.
These people were like a group of monkeys, chattering and making noise, surrounding Jiang Nan Fang's bed, gesturing wildly as they spoke to her.
Jiang Nan Fang leaned against the bed, facing them, laughing until she was shaking.
The caregiver washed a plate of fruit and handed it to everyone, making it as lively as a festival.
Zhan Bei Jue stood at the door and watched them for almost a minute before anyone noticed him.
Jiang Nan Fang had been with him for so long, and they were about to have their fifth child, yet these men were still so enthusiastic about her, making him feel jealous.
He tapped on the door, and finally, someone looked back and saw him.
"Oh, President Zhan is back?"
These people were not shy when they saw him; they even came over very familiarly.
"President Zhan, you're too inconsiderate! You promised to treat us to a meal when you got together, but now the child is about to be born and we haven't even had a bite to eat. You're looking down on us!"
"That's right, we only found out Engineer Jiang had been in the hospital for so long. You really don't consider us family!"
