Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 23: Wrath

Mother passed away early, and my biological father remarried to a stepmother. The stepmother is cunning, appearing gentle and caring on the surface, but her words are filled with thorns, constantly speaking ill of him.

Over time, under the stepmother’s influence, his biological father also became like a stepfather, only criticizing and scolding him.

The stepmother speaks sweetly but acts deceitfully, extremely hypocritical.

In the Sheng Family, Sheng Zexi long lost anyone who cared for or loved him, which drove him to enlist in the military without hesitation.

He knew that his grandparents cared for him, but after all, they are old and not in the best health.

Moreover, due to a past injury possibly affecting his fertility, Sheng Zexi once thought he’d live his life alone. Therefore, he trained with all his might, frequently rising to the top ranks in the military, nearly perfecting each mission. He thought that perhaps sacrificing himself on the battlefield would be his best end, for there was nothing much for him to look forward to in the future.

Unexpectedly, more than a year ago, after being injured and falling into a coma, he was taken home by Gu Jia Ning. This act moved him deeply, and since then, his world of emotions underwent a tremendous change.

Although he felt a tinge of jealousy about Gu Jia Ning’s past affection for Wen Zhqing, Sheng Zexi could see that Gu Jia Ning sincerely wanted a life with him now.

Therefore, he would also strive to give Gu Jia Ning a better life.

The future he once envisioned of a lonely life might change; perhaps he could walk hand in hand with Gu Jia Ning, living slowly together.

After sending Gu Jia Ning to the Gu Family, Sheng Zexi drove back to Qingshan County.

He didn’t know that at that moment, back in the Sheng Family, his father was furious.

In the Sheng Family far away in Beijing.

The phone in Sheng Xinhao’s hand was hurled to the ground, his face covered with dark clouds, startling Fang Wanrong who was sitting on the sofa. She quickly stood up to console him.

"What happened, why are you so angry?" Fang Wanrong asked gently.

The maid had just said it was a call from the Northwest Military Region, looking for Sheng Xinhao.

Fang Wanrong knew that if it involved the Northwest Military Region, it must be related to her stepson, so she sat back down on the sofa, curious to know who was calling and what it was about.

Never expecting, after Sheng Xinhao just picked up the call and said a few words, he instantly burst into anger and threw the phone to the ground.

Could it be that her stepson did something "good" again?

"That brat Sheng Zexi, does he even acknowledge me as his father anymore? He actually got married in secret, to some girl from the countryside."

"The marriage report even got approved. If Old Xu hadn’t called me, would I also not know until they had children?"

What, Sheng Zexi got married, and to a girl from the countryside? And the marriage report was approved?

Fang Wanrong’s eyes widened, swiftly thinking of something, a slight smile emerging at the corners of her mouth, but then she saw Sheng Xinhao beside her and her expression, quickly suppressing that smile.

In her heart, she thought: Marrying a country girl is good; she most feared Sheng Zexi marrying a daughter of a high-ranking official, gaining support. Now that Sheng Zexi married a country girl, she didn’t have to worry.

As for her Manping...

She had been helping Li Shuyao marry Sheng Zexi, hoping to use this chance to connect with Li Tingxuan through Li Shuyao, but now...

Li Shuyao had completely lost that chance, and her daughter with Li Tingxuan...

Just as she thought of this, she heard some noise outside. Looking up, she saw her daughter with a pale face, leaning against the wall.

Clearly, she had heard the conversation just now.

Fang Wanrong felt a pang in her heart. This daughter was the most stubborn one, inexplicably fixating on Li Tingxuan.

She also knew Li Tingxuan was excellent; if Pingping were her husband’s biological daughter, they would make a perfect pair with Li Tingxuan, but unfortunately, Pingping wasn’t, and her status was quite awkward.

However, at this moment, Fang Wanrong couldn’t afford to comfort her daughter, focusing instead on consoling her husband beside her and further speaking ill of her stepson.

"Xixi has gone too far this time. How can he not inform his family about something as significant as a wedding?"

"Even if, even if I’m the stepmother, he doesn’t tell me, but A hao is his biological father, and he hasn’t been unkind to him all these years. How could he not even give a word?"

Fang Wanrong’s words directly heightened Sheng Xinhao’s anger.

Getting married is such an important matter yet not informing him; does he even consider him as his father?

He had wasted his efforts planning for him, suggesting he marry Old Li’s daughter, and now!

Fang Wanrong continued watching Sheng Xinhao’s face grow darker, feeling satisfied internally, but on the surface showing a semblance of wronged grievance.

"It’s all my fault; ever since you married me, Zexi has harbored resentment towards me. You haven’t been looked upon well by him or his maternal family because of me. I, I..." Fang Wanrong continued, tears misting over her beautiful eyes, "It’s all my fault for being too uncontrollably in love with you back then..."

Fang Wanrong, a natural beauty, her face gentle and soft, eyes seemingly to speak, now crying so pitifully, evoking such sympathy. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Sheng Xinhao couldn’t help but recall the scene when he first met Fang Wanrong.

Was it really Fang Wanrong being too uncontrollably in love?

Only Sheng Xinhao knew, from beginning to end, that Wanrong was always the reserved and tactfully refusing one.

It was he who couldn’t control himself after seeing Wanrong that he insisted on marrying her despite her initial rejection.

Sheng Xinhao naturally understood that the estrangement between Sheng Zexi and the Sang couple towards him was due to his remarriage, because of Fang Wanrong.

Initially, when he thought about it, he did have some blame towards Fang Wanrong.

However, hearing her words reminded him of the past, and he couldn’t voice any complaint.

From start to finish, Wanrong did no wrong.

Over the years, not only had she diligently cared for the family, but she also bore him a capable son like A Yu.

Sheng Xinhao embraced Fang Wanrong, gently wiping her tears away with his finger, softly saying, "Wanrong, it’s not your fault. That brat has simply grown stubbornly independent and no longer regards me as his father."

Sheng Xinhao thought, the next time that brat returns, he must give him a good lecture.

For now, unable to contact him, Sheng Xinhao was at a loss.

Nestled in Sheng Xinhao’s arms, Fang Wanrong quietly responded, appearing frail and pitiable.

In a position where Sheng Xinhao couldn’t see, a slight smirk appeared at the corners of Fang Wanrong’s mouth.

With her daughter still in mind, Fang Wanrong reignited Sheng Xinhao’s discontent towards Sheng Zexi, and, after a tender moment with Sheng Xinhao, she went to Fang Manping’s room.

Opening the door, she was met with a room filled with scattered items, while her daughter lay over the table, back facing her, shoulders trembling, holding back sobs.

"Alas."

Fang Wanrong sighed, closing the door, walking over, and placing her hands on her daughter’s shoulders.

Fang Manping, still hunched over, turned around and hugged Fang Wanrong tightly, burying her head in her bosom, pitifully sobbing, "Mom, do you think I have no chance with Li Tingxuan?"
