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

Chapter 93 Just how many unwanted romantic advances has this man attracted?

"Brother Xi~"

When Gu Jianing saw Sheng Zexi, her eyes lit up, and she called out to him. As Sheng Zexi approached, she stepped forward and took his arm.

"Brother Xi, you're back so soon?"

Sheng Zexi patted her hand, his arrogant eyes softening unconsciously. "I'll be back after the meeting."

"What's going on? At this hour, aren't you still sleeping? Are you dressed warmly enough?" Sheng Zexi reached out and wrapped her clothes tighter around her, buttoning up any buttons that were undone.

He even smoothed down her slightly messy hair.

Gu Jianing got angry when she heard this. Yes, she was sleeping and was woken up.

She hadn't planned to get up, but the knocking continued, so she had to. She was worried that someone might have something urgent to tell her.

But as soon as he reached his doorstep, he heard a young woman outside say that she was Sheng Zexi's sister.
Upon hearing this, Gu Jianing immediately realized what was going on.

Last night, Sheng Zexi mentioned that his stepsister might be in the cultural troupe that came from Beijing.

That was the first time Sheng Zexi talked to Gu Jianing about his stepmother and stepsister.

In fact, Sheng Zexi didn't want to tell Gu Jianing about the dirty things in his family, but he was afraid that Fang Manping would cause trouble after she came and that Gu Jianing would be bullied, so he reminded her in advance.

From Sheng Zexi's account, Gu Jianing also roughly learned about the nature of his stepmother and stepsister.

One is all talk and no action, the other seems cautious but harbors ulterior motives and is selfish.

In any case, Gu Jianing didn't have a good impression of the mother and daughter.

It was that annoying stepsister again, waking her up early in the morning. How could the hot-tempered Gu Jianing possibly recognize her?

Sure enough, as soon as the door opened, a basin of water was splashed at her.

At this moment, she complained in a coquettish voice, "Brother Xi, I don't know who this person is. He's standing at our door and says he's your sister, but I remember that my mother-in-law only gave birth to you."

Sheng Zexi understood Gu Jianing's little thoughts and cooperated, saying, "My mother did only give birth to me, but after my mother passed away, my father married a stepmother, who brought a daughter with her."

Gu Jianing seemed to have heard something strange. Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes widened slightly as she looked at Fang Manping and snorted softly, "So she's the daughter brought by her stepmother. There's no blood relation at all. What kind of sister is she?"

The couple worked together to tear off Fang Manping's face and stomped on it, leaving Fang Manping feeling a sharp pain in her face.

"What? She's actually the daughter of a stepmother? You and Battalion Commander Sheng don't even share the same surname. Why did you tell me you're Battalion Commander Sheng's sister?" Zhang Shuwan felt that she had been deceived by the girl in front of her.

She then realized why Gu Jianing had splashed water as soon as she opened the door, and why her tone was so rude.

She's her husband's stepmother's daughter, no need to be so polite!
Zhang Shuwan had seen plenty of stepmothers and stepsisters.

Although there are good stepmothers, she dares to guarantee that 70-80% of stepmothers are bad.

She had seen too many biological fathers become stepfathers after marrying stepmothers, and she had also seen too many stepmothers abuse and torment the children left by their previous wives, all while putting on a hypocritical facade.

In particular, as women, they can see it clearly, but the so-called father of the child cannot see it, or rather, chooses to turn a blind eye.

If stepmothers are all bad, how can the daughters of stepmothers be good?

In any case, Zhang Shuwan had no good feelings towards her stepmother and stepsister.

Fang Manping felt a burning pain on her face. Facing Sheng Zexi's scrutiny, she opened her mouth to explain, "Brother, I..." As soon as she uttered that form of address, Sheng Zexi's face darkened.

Fang Manping instantly remembered what Sheng Zexi had said before: don't call him brother, otherwise he won't be polite to her!
Seeing Sheng Zexi's darkening face, she was so frightened that she quickly changed her address, "Sheng, Battalion Commander Sheng, I just heard that you got married, so I came to see your wife."

"You didn't tell your family about your marriage, and Uncle Sheng was very angry. He originally wanted to arrange for you to meet Shuyao from Li's hometown."

Fang Manping's voice trembled, but that didn't stop her from making things difficult for Gu Jianing.

The implication is clear: Sheng Zexi acted first and informed Gu Jianing later. Sheng Zexi's father was unhappy, angry, and disapproving of Gu Jianing's marriage.

The person they truly wanted was someone else.

Sheng Zexi frowned. He hadn't had any contact with the Sheng family in Beijing for the past two months and didn't know anything about their situation there.

Of course, he had guesses about the man's attitude.

He didn't tell anyone because he was afraid the man would stop him.

As for getting angry?

Sheng Zexi scoffed inwardly. It would be even better if the old man could die of anger, so he could atone for his mother's sins in the afterlife!

Exactly, what does Li Shuyao have to do with this?

A blurry face appeared in his mind. Sheng Zexi couldn't quite remember it, only that the girl was a bit annoying.

Just then, Sheng Zexi suddenly felt a pain in his lower back. He winced slightly and instantly came to his senses, looking at Gu Jianing beside him.

He saw his wife with one hand on his lower back, looking up at him with a faint smile on her face.

But Sheng Zexi felt a chill run down his spine just looking at that smile.

Gu Jianing looked up and glared at him.

Peng Wenjing had just given up on him, and now Li Shuyao has suddenly appeared.

Just how many unwanted romantic advances has this man attracted?

Although she has the ability to deal with her husband's extramarital affairs, it doesn't mean she enjoys trouble.

Looking at Sheng Zexi's sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, and tall, imposing figure, Gu Jianing thought, "Perhaps, male beauty can be a curse!"

Seeing that Gu Jianing was a little angry, and that he had been twisted for no reason, Sheng Zexi's face turned even colder when facing Fang Manping.

He couldn't help but retort sarcastically, "That's my business, what's it to you?"

"Now that you've seen it, let's go."

"Also, from now on, whether there's a reason or not, don't come to my door. And when you're out, don't act like my sister. Otherwise, even if I don't come to settle accounts with you, my mom will probably go to your mom and ask her when she ever had a daughter."

Fang Manping didn't expect Sheng Zexi to give her no face at all. His next words made Fang Manping feel even more uneasy, even in broad daylight.

In the end, he could only give Gu Jianing one last deep look before fleeing in a disheveled state.

She wondered to herself: Sheng Zexi has such a sharp tongue and many of his behaviors are so awful, how could this woman put up with him and then marry him?
However, thinking of Sheng Zexi's gentleness towards Gu Jianing just now, as if he were a mother hen tidying up her clothes and worrying that she would get cold, Fang Manping felt that Sheng Zexi might have fallen for her this time.

But this woman is really beautiful, even more beautiful than Li Shuyao, more beautiful than any beauty she has ever seen. Could it be that Sheng Zexi is also judging by looks?
