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

Chapter 132 (Happy New Year!)
Qiao Haisheng could no longer contain his anger. His face turned red, veins bulged on his forehead, and he roared, interrupting Qiao Sheng.

"Qiao Sheng, I've taught you morality and righteousness since you were little, but look at the stupid things you've done."

After saying that, he turned around and left in anger, his steps hurried and heavy.

He really didn't want to stay there for another second. If he stayed any longer, he was genuinely worried that he would faint from anger on the spot.

Qiao Yun looked at Qiao Sheng, her lips moved slightly as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Her eyes were filled with helplessness. "Zhuzhu, think about it carefully. Your father loves you the most. Do you really want to make your father sad for a man?" After saying that, she slowly turned and left.

Qiao Sheng stood there blankly, watching her parents' figures gradually disappear into the distance, and tears finally welled up in her eyes.

My heart was pounding like a cat on a hot tin roof, my mind was a complete mess, and I didn't know what to do.

[System, what should I do?] She anxiously called out to the system in her mind.

"Host, our goal is to win over Gu Yunshen. As for the Qiao family, don't worry about them." The system's voice rang in her mind, its tone cold and firm, devoid of any emotion.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sheng frowned deeply, her eyes filled with disapproval.

Her hands clenched unconsciously. The Qiao family was so wealthy that in this era of scarce resources, they could provide her with a life free from worries about food and clothing, allowing her to eat well and dress well.

As the saying goes, it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

She didn't want to give up this kind of life; there must be a way to have the best of both worlds.

After watching the farce, Xia Zhi gently took Lu Beiting's hand and turned to leave.

Lu Beiting held her hand tightly, a gentle smile on his face, his eyes full of love. "Xiaxia, tomorrow is the New Year."

Xia Zhi nodded slightly, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. "Yes, I know."

This was her first New Year in this era, and she was filled with novelty and anticipation.

On Lunar New Year's Eve, as dawn broke, the family members from the residential compound arrived at the military base early.

Everyone was busy in the cafeteria.

Some were vigorously scrubbing the vegetables, some were cutting meat, and some were vigorously stirring the flour.

When Xia Zhi arrived at the cafeteria and saw this scene, she was filled with surprise and a look of astonishment appeared on her face.

She originally thought they would each spend the New Year separately in the compound, but she never expected to spend it together in the army.

"Oh, Xia, what brings you here? You should go and rest. You've all been busy for a year, so let us idle folks keep busy."

Chen Yan walked over with a smile and shooed Xia Zhi out.

"These are only a few days a year, so we have to treat you properly. Leave the good food to us."

Inside the cafeteria, everyone was busy working while chatting and laughing.

The middle-aged men were skillfully slaughtering a pig for the New Year in the family compound.

Lu Beiting led his teammates on patrol early in the morning, working tirelessly to ensure everyone could have a peaceful New Year.

After being kicked out of the cafeteria by Chen Yan, Xia Zhi didn't know what to do, so she went to the hospital to find something to do.

"Xia Zhi, can you do me a favor?"

Hao Liping was now able to get out of bed and walk with difficulty, though her face was still somewhat pale.

She saw Xia Zhi passing by in the distance and quickly quickened her pace to catch up with her.

Hearing the sound, Xia Zhi turned around in confusion, looked at Hao Liping, frowned, and showed a hint of incomprehension in her eyes.

"Xia Zhi, you can read, could you help me write a letter of complaint?"

Hao Liping hesitated for a moment, but still made her request.

Her hands unconsciously clasped together, a hint of nervousness in her eyes. She had thought about it all night and felt that Xia Zhi was the most suitable candidate.

Xia Zhi raised her eyebrows slightly, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes, but she readily agreed, "Okay, sure, I'll write it down for you when it's done."

After saying that, she put her hands in her pockets, turned around and was about to leave, her movements graceful and efficient.

Hao Liping watched her retreating figure quietly for a long time, her eyes filled with gratitude and guilt.

Her lips trembled slightly as she whispered, "Xia Zhi, I'm sorry, but thank you too, thank you for being willing to help me."

Xia Zhi stopped abruptly, turned around, looked calmly at Hao Liping, and said lightly, "I'm just helping the child in your belly. After all, you know that countless children are trafficked at the border, and everyone cherishes every hard-won life."

As for what happened after that, it wasn't to help you; I just simply didn't want Gu Yun Shen to have a good life. Of course, seeing you're not doing well now, I'm actually quite happy about it.

Hao Liping pursed her lips and lowered her head.

She gently placed her hands on her belly, feeling the baby's movements, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

If it were before, she would have been furious upon hearing Xia Zhi's words, but now, she couldn't muster any anger at all.

"Xia Zhi, do you really not remember my brother?"

Thinking of what her older brother had said that day, Hao Liping couldn't help but ask.

She was very worried about her older brother's distraught state these past few days.

The feeling she gets from her older brother is that he might die at any moment.

Upon hearing about Hao Yongsheng, Xia Zhi frowned slightly, slowly turned to look at Hao Liping, and said in a calm tone:
"Your Hao family has nothing to do with me anymore, and as for your elder brother, he's just a neighbor to me."

Even if there was something between Hao Yongsheng and the original owner, so what? The original owner is gone, and saying anything more is useless.

Hao Liping felt a pang of disappointment upon hearing this, but ultimately said nothing more, only silently watching Xia Zhi's figure disappear around the corner.

She turned around and saw Hao Yongsheng with red eyes.

He stood there quietly, staring blankly ahead, his face filled with pain and regret.

"elder brother."

Hao Liping called out worriedly, her voice full of concern.

Hao Yongsheng slowly turned his head and looked at Hao Liping, his eyes filled with pain and regret.

His lips trembled slightly, and his voice was low and hoarse, "Liping, I regret it. I shouldn't have left in the first place."

Looking at the suffering Hao Yongsheng, Hao Liping felt a pang of sorrow in her heart. She opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

"Brother, do you want to talk to her and make things clear?" Hao Liping hesitated for a moment before finally expressing her thoughts.

Hao Yongsheng's lips curled into a bitter smile, his eyes filled with helplessness and desolation.

He gently shook his head, his movements slow and heavy, his voice mournful, "No, she's married now, just forget about her."

As evening approached, the military base became lively.

A roaring bonfire burned in the spacious area.

The light from the campfire illuminated everyone's faces, reflecting their happy smiles.

A group of people gathered around a campfire, holding hands, singing and dancing.

Children frolicked and played among the crowd, their laughter ringing out like silver bells, accompanied by the sound of firecrackers.

The adults' faces were filled with happy smiles; some were chatting happily, while others were raising their glasses in a toast, creating a harmonious and peaceful scene.

Meanwhile, rows of lights illuminate the mountainside, protecting the myriad lights of these homes.
