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

Chapter 114 The Deadbeat
Lu Beiting withdrew his gaze, his deep eyes still holding a hint of sharpness towards Qin Beishan.

The moment he looked at Xia Zhi, his expression instantly transformed into endless tenderness and doting affection.

He smiled slightly and said softly, "Wife, where are you going? I'll go with you."

When Qin Beishan saw that Lu Beiting was no longer paying attention to him, he shuddered and, like a frightened rabbit, shrank his neck and turned to run away.

As he ran, he muttered to himself that he would better avoid these two "Kings of Hell" from now on.

If you can't afford to provoke them, you can afford to hide away.

That disheveled figure looked as if a raging flood or ferocious beast was chasing after it.

Xia Zhi glanced at Lu Beiting, who was following closely behind her, and a slight smile appeared on her lips. She then turned around and walked into the hospital.

Outside the hospital, Qiao Sheng paced anxiously, like a cat on a hot tin roof. Her brows were furrowed, her hands unconsciously clutching the hem of her clothes, and she kept muttering to herself, "What am I going to do..."

[System, what should we do? Did we arrive too late? Gu Yun Shen has already been kicked out of the family compound by Xia Zhi and Lu Bei Ting; he's not here anymore.]

Qiao Sheng was filled with anxiety, and even when communicating with the system, her tone trembled with a hint of helplessness.

[Host, please find a way to win over Gu Yun Shen. If you are unable to do so, the attempt will be considered a failure.]

The system's cold, mechanical voice echoed in Qiao Sheng's mind, devoid of any warmth or emotion.

Qiao Sheng rolled her eyes speechlessly.

Don't they bear any responsibility for what happened?
This is completely different from the plot in the book. Can you blame her for that?
[Never mind, System, where are Gu Yun Shen and his family now?] Qiao Sheng took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down and attempting to obtain crucial information from the system.

[The system has automatically located the male protagonist, Gu Yun Shen, and his family are currently in Pingnan Village.] The system quickly responded.

Qiao Sheng frowned, her mind racing.

Isn't Pingnan Village the village where Lu Beiting was born?
Oh, right! The Hao family is Lu Weifeng's savior; he's probably seeking refuge there.

Pingnan Village is neither too far nor too close to here, so it would be extremely difficult to create a chance encounter with Gu Yunshen.

Qiao Sheng stomped her foot in frustration, filled with regret.

If I had known, I would have come here a month earlier, and I wouldn't be constantly being outdone by Xia Zhi now.

……

Pingnan Village

Lu Weifeng looked at the group of people with their families in front of him, his face full of helplessness and conflict.

The Hao family had been kind to him, but now his son had beaten him and driven him out of the family compound...

His brows furrowed into a deep frown, and his eyes revealed his deep distress.

"Old Lu, you can't be ungrateful. We can forget about what happened before, but look how your son beat me. How are you going to support your family now?"

Hao Dazhuang had a big smile on his face, but there was a hint of shamelessness in that smile. His eyes were fixed on Lu Weifeng as if he were looking at a lifeline.

Now they can only rely on Lu Weifeng. If he drives them away again, they will truly be left with no way out. Chen Xiuping chimed in, "That's right, one should have a conscience. How about this, since you've helped us this time, all the grudges between our two families will be wiped clean!" She put her hands on her hips, her face showing a determined look.

Lu Weifeng frowned, feeling very conflicted.

The Hao family did save him, that's true, but now because of them, Lu Beiting no longer acknowledges him as his father. Apart from the allowance he sends back on time, he never comes back to visit again.

He felt bitterness and self-reproach when he thought about these things.

Hearing the commotion outside, Lu Yan'an, who was at home, quickly went out.

Her eyes were filled with anger and resentment. She picked up the water next to her and splashed it at the Hao family without hesitation. Her eyes were red and she stared at the people in front of her with a furious look.

"Pah! You have the nerve to come to my house?"

She pointed her trembling finger at Hao Liping behind Hao Dazhuang, "You shameless woman, you cheated on my brother before we got married, and now you're bringing your lover to my house, don't you have any shame?"
"I haven't even settled the score with you for spreading rumors about my brother being crippled yet." Lu Yan'an cursed through gritted teeth, every word seemingly filled with utter hatred.

"If it weren't for you, my brother wouldn't have broken ties with us. We're already being lenient by not seeking revenge against you, and you still have the nerve to come to our door?"

Lu Yan'an became more and more agitated as she cursed, her voice even choked with sobs. Thinking of how good her brother had been to her in the past, she hadn't seen him for months, and he hadn't even attended her wedding. Her heart was filled with grievances and longing, and she felt like she was about to break down completely.

Lu Weifeng stood silently to the side, clenching his teeth and making fists with both hands, his knuckles turning white from the force.

He recalled the two times he had broken up with Lu Beiting, and his heart was filled with regret. He was also extremely angry at what the Hao family had done.

But remembering the life-saving grace from years ago, he didn't know what to do for a moment.

Wang Xiulan sat in the house, tears streaming down her face. She kept wiping away her tears with her rough hands, looking at her home that had been ravaged and torn apart, her heart filled with helplessness and sorrow.

Hao Liping was so embarrassed by the scolding that she felt ashamed and wanted to disappear. She lowered her head, her hands tightly gripping the hem of her clothes, her heart filled with grievance and resentment.

It's really unfair that the Lu family put all the blame on her.

Hao Dazhuang felt a little panicked when he saw Lu Weifeng remain silent.

Over the years, they have gained a lot of benefits by taking advantage of Lu Beiting's battalion commander title. Although he sometimes doesn't want to admit it, he knows in his heart how much convenience Lu Beiting's identity has brought them.

Now that his daughter is involved with Gu Yunshen and has ruined everything, he can't help but blame Hao Liping in his heart. Why did she give up being a good battalion commander's wife and insist on marrying a poor boy? Now she has even dragged her whole family down with her.

"Old Lu, just this once, we... will never trouble you again. I know you must have a way."

Hao Dazhuang softened his tone, speaking almost pleadingly, his face plastered with a fawning smile.

He thought to himself, so what if he broke up with Lu Beiting? Lu Weifeng is still the battalion commander's biological father.

Looking at this group of shameless people, Lu Yan'an was so angry that her face turned red and her chest heaved violently. She felt that these people deserved it.

"Dad, let's not worry about it!" She tugged hard at Lu Weifeng's sleeve, her eyes filled with determination.

Seeing that Lu Weifeng was still unmoved, Chen Xiuping gritted her teeth, sat down on the ground, and started to throw a tantrum: "Oh dear, father-in-law saved a thankless wretch! If I had known he was such an ungrateful person, I shouldn't have saved him in the first place. It would have been better if he had died."

"Lu Weifeng! My dad risked his life to save you, fine, you won't help, huh? Fine, then give my dad back!"

Seeing that Chen Xiuping was going all out, Hao Dazhuang also joined in the commotion.
