The military wife is pregnant and the tycoon, who has no heir, spoils her rotten.

Who got slapped in the face in Chapter 10?

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiao quickly pulled Gu Chonglin aside, saying, "Chonglin, why don't we just forget about it and return the things to Xia Zhi? We can talk about it after Battalion Commander Lu leaves."

Zhang Xiao was a little worried. From the beginning, the Hao family bore the most responsibility for this matter. He hoped that things wouldn't escalate and turn out to be their fault.

Gu Chonglin frowned more and more deeply. If he took out the money and the items, where would he put his face after all these years?

Liu Yanfang snorted coldly, "Commander Lu, you're exaggerating. So what if the commander is here? The commander isn't someone who can't distinguish right from wrong."

She acted as if what they said was right, but despite her arrogance, the people around her had already cowered and dared not utter another word.

"Oh, so you knew too. Well then, just wait and see!" Xia Zhi snorted and stood aside with her arms crossed.

The cloud defense troops are stationed on the border year-round. Their main task every day is to patrol and prevent the other side from camouflaging and launching surprise attacks.

Chief Li Jianguo originally had a better future, but he resolutely stayed in Yunfang. Xia Zhi could tell from this alone that the chief was a good person.

She wasn't afraid even if they came, especially since she still had Lu Beiting as a bargaining chip!

Looking at her confident demeanor, Hao Liping felt increasingly uneasy. Logically, Xia Zhi should have been worried and afraid like everyone else, but she wasn't.

"Xia Zhi, come with me!"

Hao Liping stepped forward, took her hand, and led her towards the tree in the distance.

Xia Zhi knew what she wanted to say, after all, her thoughts were written all over her face.

As soon as they arrived, Hao Liping let go of her hand. "Xia Zhi, you always tell me, are you also..."

She winked at Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi pretended not to understand and looked at her with a puzzled frown, "Hao Liping, are you sick? What are you saying? I can't understand a word you're saying."

"How...how could this be? Did you deliberately not tell me?" Hao Liping crossed her arms and looked down at her. "Even if you're like me, so what? Gu Yunshen is mine now!"

"Yes, yes, it's yours. You two keep it safe." After Xia Zhi finished speaking, she turned her head and saw Zhang Yi leading Li Jianguo towards them.

Li Jianguo was dressed in military green, walking steadily with a serious yet kind face. His square face gave him the appearance of someone who believed in a peaceful and prosperous country.

Hao Liping was delighted to see Li Jianguo, then sneered at Xia Zhi provocatively, "Xia Zhi, you don't know, do you? The Chief Uncle dotes on me the most. Just wait and see how embarrassed you'll feel."

Xia Zhi nodded dismissively, "Yes, yes, you're right!"

Hao Liping instantly felt like she had punched cotton, and stomped her foot in anger before going back.

Xia Zhi looked at the man behind Li Jianguo. He had a serious and unsmiling expression and looked somewhat similar to Lu Beiting. This man must be her father.

Xia Zhi walked up to Lu Beiting and saw that he looked tense, which made her suspicious.

The group of people were surprised that their leader had actually been invited, and their expressions immediately changed. They greeted him respectfully.

Li Jianguo smiled and nodded, then walked over to Lu Beiting's side. "Beiting, are you alright?"

Lu Beiting shook his head, "It's nothing, thank you for your trouble, Chief."

After Lu Beiting finished speaking, he stopped talking, which immediately changed the expression of Lu Weifeng, who was standing next to Li Jianguo.

Xia Zhi sensed something was wrong and secretly observed him. It seemed that Lu Beiting and his father didn't get along.

Li Jianguo looked at Hao Dazhuang's family, his expression instantly turning serious. "Hao Dazhuang! Aren't you going to give me an explanation for this? What are you doing? When I brought Beiting to propose marriage, why didn't you refuse if you weren't satisfied? How can I face anyone with your family's behavior?"

Should I wonder if your dissatisfaction is with Lu Beiting, or with me?

Li Jianguo's anger surged. This was something Old Master Lu had entrusted to him before his death, telling him to find a good wife for Lu Beiting. Now, the date they had set was almost here, and it was all over!

How will he face Grandpa Lu in the future?

Upon hearing this, Hao Dazhuang was startled. "Commander, you've misunderstood. We really didn't mean it that way. Liping is still young and doesn't understand. By the time we found out, it was already too late."

Chen Xiuping chimed in, "Chief, this was our fault. The child is young and doesn't understand things. He's just hot-blooded. Please calm down."

But we won't let Battalion Commander Lu be without a wife. Xia Zhi has already discussed it with him.

Li Jianguo sneered, "She's shameless! We'd rather not have a wife like that!"

The Hao family's faces immediately turned extremely ugly. Being scolded by the leader in front of so many people for being shameless, how would the surrounding neighbors view them in the future?

"Uncle Li, I was wrong about this, but... but I did it for Battalion Commander Lu's own good." Hao Liping walked forward pitifully, her eyes red.

"For his own good? His parents aren't even dead yet, and I'm still here. Do you need to do what's best for him? That's utter nonsense!" Li Jianguo retorted without any politeness.

Hao Liping was stunned by the scolding. Before, Li Jianguo would always call her Liping and would even bring her things. Why was he doing this now...?

Li Jianguo snorted coldly, then looked at the woman next to Lu Beiting, "You're Xia Zhi?"

"Yes, hello, Commander." Xia Zhi instinctively gave a military salute.

Li Jianguo looked at her, his expression changing slightly. "She's quite standard."

Lu Beiting also looked at her with suspicion, wondering why this woman seemed different from the rumors.

Xia Zhi quickly put her hand down, "Haha, I've seen everyone training when I pass by, and I just learned it by watching."

In her previous life, as a doctor, she received a lot of help from the military region, so she naturally knew a bit about it.

Li Jianguo nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, are you really willing to marry Beiting?"

Bei Ting's illness had not yet been publicized, but he knew about it.

"Yes, sir, don't worry, I did it voluntarily!"

Li Jianguo squinted at her, his voice serious, "Even if he can't stand up anymore, you'd still be willing?"

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "I'm willing!" This is a powerful patron! Only a fool wouldn't take advantage of him.

Li Jianguo seems to treat him better than Lu Beiting's father, which shows how much he values ​​Lu Beiting. If he marries into the family, getting into a military hospital shouldn't be too difficult.

"Okay, Xia, don't worry, Beiting is a good kid, unlike some people who are shady." Li Jianguo gave Gu Yunshen a meaningful look.

Gu Yun Shen pursed his lips tightly, clenching his fists in humiliation. How dare a bunch of rough old men look down on him?

"Okay, Commander, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Battalion Commander Lu." Then Xia Zhi looked at him with a wronged expression, "But Commander, Gu Jia has lied to me. Not only that, but he also withheld my parents' belongings. Can you help me, Commander?"

Zhang Xiao's expression suddenly changed. How did this turn into the Gu family again?
