Jiang Ming quickly said, "Mom, don't go looking for Third Aunt. She was just trying to be nice by introducing me to someone. It's just that the girl obviously wasn't honest with her family, which is what caused this whole misunderstanding."
He didn't actually blame his Third Aunt; after all, she meant well.
If anyone was to blame, it was that Ma Xiaofei. Not a single word out of her mouth was true.
Pan Lanfang then asked, "It's normal for colleagues to gossip a little. Why not just let them talk? It's not like their words can actually hurt you."
Jiang Ming knew his mother would say something like that. 'But how could she understand how awful it felt to be the target of all that gossip?'
Jiang Guoqiang, however, said nothing, just chain-smoked his cigarettes.
Only Pan Lanfang kept nagging endlessly.
Jiang Ming could only endure it in silence.
Just then, Jiang Guoqiang asked, "So what are you going to do now? What kind of work will you look for?"
