Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 23 Fury

His mother died early, and his biological father married a stepmother. The stepmother was scheming; she appeared gentle and caring on the surface, but her words were full of barbs, and she was always trying to ruin him.

Over time, the biological father, who had been misled, also became the stepfather, and all he did was criticize and berate him.

The stepmother is all talk and no action, utterly hypocritical.

Sheng Zexi had long lost anyone in the Sheng family who cared about him or loved him, which is why he resolutely joined the army.

He knew that his grandparents loved him, but the two elderly people were getting old and couldn't take care of him all at once.

In addition, due to past injuries that may have caused infertility, Sheng Zexi once thought that he would just live alone for the rest of his life. Therefore, he trained with all his might, became a top soldier several times, and completed his missions almost perfectly each time. He thought that perhaps sacrificing himself on the battlefield would be the best ending for him. He had no expectations for the future.

Unexpectedly, more than a year ago, he was injured and fell into a coma and was taken in by Gu Jianing. Once he was taken in, he fell in love with her, and his emotional world underwent a dramatic change.

Although he was somewhat jealous of Gu Jianing's past affection for Wen Zhuqing, Sheng Zexi could tell that Gu Jianing now wanted to have a good life with him.

Therefore, he will also work hard to give Gu Jianing a better life.

She once fantasized that he might grow old alone, but perhaps that could be changed, and he could hold Gu Jianing's hand and live a long life together.

After dropping Gu Jianing off at the Gu family home, Sheng Zexi drove back to Qingshan County.

Unbeknownst to him, his father was currently in a rage at the Sheng family.

The Sheng family, far away in Beijing.

Sheng Xinhao slammed the phone to the ground, his face clouded with rage, startling Fang Wanrong who was sitting on the sofa. She quickly got up and patted his back.

"What's wrong? Why are you so angry?" Fang Wanrong asked softly.

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

Knowing that the call involved the Northwest Military Region, Fang Wanrong knew it must be related to her stepson. So, she, who was originally planning to leave, sat down on the sofa to find out who had called and what it was about.

Unexpectedly, Sheng Xinhao had only been on the phone for a short time, and after saying just a few words, he suddenly became furious and smashed the phone on the ground.

Could it be that her stepson has done something "good" again?
"That brat Sheng Zexi, does he even care about his father anymore? He actually secretly got married and married a country girl."

"The marriage application has been approved. If Lao Xu hadn't called me just now, I probably wouldn't even have known that the baby was born."

What? Sheng Zexi got married, and to a girl from the countryside? Their marriage application was even approved?
Fang Wanrong's pupils widened, and she quickly realized something. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, but then she remembered that Sheng Xinhao was right next to her and her own image, so she was afraid that she would suppress her smile.

But in her heart she thought: It's good that he married a country girl. What she feared most was that Sheng Zexi would marry the daughter of a high-ranking official with a powerful background and gain his support. Now that Sheng Zexi has actually married a country girl, she doesn't have to worry about it.

It was her Manping...

He had been helping Li Shuyao marry Sheng Zexi, hoping to use this opportunity to get close to Li Tingxuan through Li Shuyao, but now...

Li Shuyao has completely lost her chance, so what about her daughter and Li Tingxuan...?

Just as I was thinking this, I heard a noise outside the door. When I looked up, I saw my daughter leaning against the wall, her face slightly pale.

Clearly, she heard what was just said.

Fang Wanrong's heart skipped a beat. This daughter of hers was the most stubborn, and she didn't know why she had devoted herself to Li Tingxuan.

She knew Li Tingxuan was a good man. If Pingping were her husband's biological daughter, they would be a perfect match. But unfortunately, Pingping wasn't, and her status was so awkward. However, Fang Wanrong couldn't comfort her daughter at this moment. She could only comfort her husband beside her and, incidentally, try to soothe her stepson.

"Zexi has really gone too far this time. How could he not tell his parents about such a big event as getting married?"

“Even if I am his stepmother, it is fine if he doesn’t tell me, but you are his biological father, Ah Hao. You have never mistreated him over the years. How could he not even tell me?”

Fang Wanrong's words further fueled Sheng Xinhao's anger.

He doesn't even tell him about such an important event as his marriage. Does he still consider him his father?

All that effort he put into planning for him to marry Old Li's youngest daughter was for nothing!
Fang Wanrong's face grew increasingly grim as she looked at Sheng Xinhao. She was satisfied in her heart, but her face showed a look of grievance and sorrow.

“It’s all my fault. Ever since you married me, Zexi has had a problem with me. Over the years, it has also caused you to be disliked by him and your family. I, I…” Fang Wanrong said, her beautiful eyes misting over. “It’s all my fault for being too impulsive with you back then…”

Fang Wanrong was a beauty with a gentle face and eyes that seemed to speak volumes. When she cried, she looked pitiful and even more endearing.

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

Was Fang Wanrong simply too unable to control her emotions?
Only Sheng Xinhao knew that, from beginning to end, Wanrong was the one who was reserved and politely refused.

He couldn't help himself after meeting Wanrong once, and that's why he insisted on marrying her despite her initial rejection.

Sheng Xinhao naturally knew that the reason why Sheng Zexi and the Sang family elders were distant from him was because of his remarriage and because of Fang Wanrong.

Originally, when he thought of this, he felt somewhat resentful towards Fang Wanrong.

But when Fang Wanrong said this, recalling the past, he could no longer utter a word of blame.

From beginning to end, Wanrong was not wrong.

Over the years, not only has she done her best for the family, but she has also given birth to such a well-behaved and sensible son as A-Yu.

Sheng Xinhao embraced Fang Wanrong, gently wiping away the tears on her face with his fingertips, and said softly, "Wanrong, it's not your fault. It's that kid who's become too independent and stubborn. He doesn't even respect his father."

Sheng Xinhao thought that when that brat came back next time, he would definitely teach him a lesson.

As for now, Sheng Xinhao is temporarily unable to be contacted, and there is nothing he can do about it.

Fang Wanrong, nestled in Sheng Xinhao's arms, gave a soft "hmm," her delicate and pitiful demeanor captivating.

From an angle that Sheng Xinhao couldn't see, Fang Wanrong's lips curled into a slight smile.

Fang Wanrong was still thinking about her daughter, so she stirred up Sheng Xinhao's dissatisfaction with Sheng Zexi again. After spending some time with Sheng Xinhao, she went to Fang Manping's room.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw a mess of things scattered all over the floor, and her daughter was lying face down on the table, her back to her, her shoulders shaking, and suppressed sobs could be heard.

"Why".

Fang Wanrong sighed, closed the door, walked over, and put her hands on her daughter's shoulders.

Fang Manping, who was lying down, turned around, hugged Fang Wanrong tightly, buried her head in her arms, and cried pitifully, "Mom, do you think Li Tingxuan and I have no chance?"
