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

Chapter 11 Reluctant
Upon hearing this, Li Jianguo looked at Gu Chonglin of the Gu family, his eyes narrowing slightly, "Old Gu, what you're doing isn't very ethical, is it?"

Gu Chonglin twitched the corner of his mouth, looking somewhat embarrassed. "Hahaha, I was just trying to scare her, wasn't I?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhi pressed her advantage, extending her hand towards him, "Then please return my things, Uncle Gu!"

A hint of impatience flashed in Gu Chonglin's eyes. This Xia Zhi was really relentless, pressing him step by step over such a small matter. They had truly raised an ungrateful wretch all these years!
"Hmph, just you wait!" Gu Chonglin snorted coldly, turned around and walked into the house, with Zhang Xiao and Liu Yanfang following behind.

Gu Yun Shen covered his face and stared at Xia Zhi. Only then did he belatedly realize that Xia Zhi seemed to be a little different.

She clearly loves him so much right now, and is willing to do anything for him, but now she not only has to marry a cripple, but she even hits him.

This is nothing like Xia Zhi.

Hao Liping noticed Gu Yunshen's gaze fixed on Xia Zhi, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes. She then stepped forward and took Xia Zhi's arm in front of everyone. "Brother Yunshen, are you reluctant to part with my sister? If that's the case, then I'm willing to step aside. I'll marry Lu Beiting."

After saying that, she burst into tears, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Seeing that Xia Zhi hadn't looked at him at all, Gu Yunshen clenched his fists. He had already given her a chance, but she didn't want it. Since that was the case, then she could just marry that cripple Lu Beiting.

He reached out and put his arm around Hao Liping, revealing an unprecedented tenderness. "Liping, don't worry. If I say I'll marry you, I will. As for Xia Zhi, I've never liked her. I've only ever really treated her as a nanny."

Besides, look at her, she's dark-skinned and ugly, not even a fraction as good as you.

After Gu Yun Shen finished speaking, he glanced in Xia Zhi's direction, but Xia Zhi was currently focused on the Gu family's movements, preoccupied with the six hundred yuan, the books, and the belongings. She had no interest in dealing with that despicable couple.

Hao Liping was overjoyed by Gu Yunshen's flattery. She loved hearing things like Xia Zhi was inferior to her. "Brother Yunshen, don't worry, I will definitely do better than Xia Zhi and become your best helpmate!"

Gu Yunshen's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Liping, don't worry, I will definitely treat you well."

Lu Beiting, sitting in his wheelchair, propped his head up and looked at Xia Zhi peeking around curiously, and suddenly found her rather cute.

"Beiting, come with me." Lu Weifeng glanced at him coldly.

Lu Beiting's relaxed brows immediately furrowed. "How can I come with you? Can't you see my leg is broken?"

"You!" Lu Weifeng glared at him angrily, but still stepped forward and pushed Lu Beiting's wheelchair to the side.

Li Jianguo sighed helplessly as he watched this scene. It was indeed not appropriate for him to interfere in the affairs of the father and son.

“Bei Ting, I don’t object to you marrying Xia Zhi, but I have only one request: the Hao family has been kind to us, and we cannot be ungrateful.” These were the words Lu Weifeng spoke to him as soon as he stopped.

A hint of disgust flashed in Lu Beiting's eyes as he said sarcastically, "She hasn't done me any favors. If you really want to repay a debt of gratitude, why don't you adopt her as your daughter and take care of her for the rest of your life?"

He had heard these words countless times over the years: the Hao family had been kind to the Lu family, and their way of repaying that kindness was to have him marry Hao Liping.

Now that this has happened, I didn't expect him to still be thinking about this.

Upon hearing his suggestion, Lu Weifeng frowned slightly, as if it wasn't entirely out of the question.

Seeing his appearance, Lu Beiting's expression grew even colder. He then turned his wheels and left. Every second he spent with him felt suffocating.

Xia Zhi saw Lu Beiting struggling to turn the wheelchair, so she jogged over and went behind him to help push his wheelchair.

"Are you alright?" Xia Zhi couldn't help but ask, seeing that he didn't look well.

Lu Beiting pursed his thin lips and frowned slightly, but still shook his head upon hearing her words.

Xia Zhi patted his shoulder reassuringly, "It's okay, Lu Beiting, everything will be alright. Trust me, I can definitely cure you."

If today's matter is resolved satisfactorily, she will help him get treatment tomorrow!

Hearing her words, Lu Beiting suddenly felt less upset, and the corners of his indifferent mouth involuntarily turned up slightly. "Okay, I believe you."

Li Jianguo overheard their conversation and immediately strode forward to Xia Zhi, looking at her excitedly, "Xia, can you really cure Bei Ting?"

Looking at the care in Li Jianguo's eyes, and thinking of Lu Weifeng's cold demeanor, Xia Zhi couldn't help but sigh. If Lu Beiting's father were Li Jianguo, what a happy and cheerful young man Lu Beiting would be.

She leaned closer and whispered, "Yes, Commander, don't worry, I'm confident!"

Li Jianguo's smile widened, and he burst into hearty laughter, "Hahaha, good, good, I knew Beiting was lucky to meet you, he's truly blessed."

Xia Zhi blushed involuntarily, and even Lu Beiting's ear tips turned red.

Looking at the two of them, Li Jianguo was increasingly satisfied. Although Xia Zhi was an orphan, she seemed to be of good character and a good child.

Lu Weifeng's face grew increasingly gloomy as he watched this scene. It seemed that Lu Beiting had been in the army for too long and didn't know who his father was anymore.

Gu family.

Gu Chonglin held his hard-earned savings in his hand, his face full of reluctance.

Zhang Xiao, who was standing nearby, also threw the books on the cabinet into a sack.

Liu Yanfang sat on the bed, cursing and swearing, "What a shameless little slut! I must have been blind to think this child was good."

I never expected him to turn out to be such an ingrate!

"Oh dear, so much money! Isn't this going to kill me?" Li Yanfang cried out, slapping her thigh.

A ruthless glint flashed in Gu Chonglin's eyes. He gripped the money in his hand and stood up. "Alright, stop crying. So many people are watching. Give this money back to Xia Zhi first, and we'll figure out how to get it back later. As for these books, she's illiterate; it's no wonder she can't understand them!"

Even if Li Jianguo is backing him up, so what? He can hold out for a while, but can he hold out forever?

Li Yanfang wiped away her tears, glared ahead with a sinister look, and said through gritted teeth, "You little bitch, I've lived for decades, I refuse to believe I can't deal with her!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiao felt a little less angry. Xia Zhi had made such a scene; he would teach her a lesson when he had the chance.

Gu Chonglin walked outside with something in his hand, and anyone with eyes could tell how unwilling he was.

Looking at the things in their hands and their reluctant expressions, Xia Zhi had only one thought in her mind.

Cool!
