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

Chapter 166 Favorability Value Reaches Zero

Xia Zhi was curious when she heard the news, after all, it was a major event of the times.

Seeing her curiosity, Lu Beiting took a day off and took her to see the examination hall.

Xia Zhi looked at the students who were full of hope and rushed into the examination room, as well as the parents who were waiting outside with anxious faces.

This scene was similar to the college entrance examination scenes of her memory from that era—equally tense, equally full of hope.

With her sharp eyes, she quickly spotted a familiar figure in the crowd.

Gu Yun Shen watched this scene furtively, like a mouse hiding in a ditch, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Xia Zhi opened her mouth in surprise. She hadn't expected that Gu Yunshen hadn't even entered the examination hall. It seemed that her letter of complaint was useless.

Lu Beiting followed her gaze and saw Gu Yunshen.

“He has a criminal record, so even if he takes the exam, no school will accept him,” Lu Beiting explained softly.

"Oh, serves her right, karma." Xia Zhi snorted disdainfully.

Gu Yun Shen clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh, his eyes filled with resentment.

All those years of studying have been a waste of his time.

The reason he is here today is because Zhang Xiao and Gu Chonglin are unaware of what has happened in the city.

Some time ago, upon learning that the college entrance examination had finally been reinstated, the two were overjoyed.

He was too ashamed to tell them that he had no hope, so he stammered and gave them a vague answer.

Today is the day of the college entrance examination. Early in the morning, Zhang Xiao urged him to come to take the exam.

He had no choice but to tell them to wait at home while he secretly came alone, thinking he could just give them a perfunctory answer and then simply say he hadn't passed the exam.

The September sun was rather hot. When Qiao Sheng found Gu Yun Shen on the street and saw his disheveled appearance, she felt a pang of disgust in her heart.

But she knew even better that time was running out. It was already September, and she couldn't let things drag on like this with Gu Yunshen any longer.

She took a deep breath and mustered her courage to say, "Gu Yunshen, shall we get our marriage certificate in a few days?"

Qiao Sheng's voice carried a hint of urgency and anticipation.

Gu Yun Shen heard Qiao Sheng's voice behind him and felt inexplicably irritated.

Marriage, marriage, all this woman does is talk about marriage all day long. What else can she do besides that?
"Qiao Sheng, aren't you annoying? I've already said it's the end of the year, the end of the year, what's the rush?"

Gu Yunshen frowned, his face full of impatience. As he spoke, he forcefully shook off Qiao Sheng's hand that was holding him.

He had assumed that Qiao Sheng was the only precious daughter in the Qiao family, and that they would never truly abandon her.

But so much time has passed, and there hasn't been a single word from the Qiao family. It seems they're determined to give up on Qiao Sheng.

"Gu Yun Shen, how could you do this to me!"

Qiao Sheng's temper flared instantly. If it weren't for this man, how could she have ended up in such a miserable state?

Gu Yun Shen clicked his tongue impatiently, his tone becoming increasingly harsh: "Can you stop messing around? Is it fun doing this every day?"

Qiao Sheng felt as if she had been slapped hard in the face. She staggered in disbelief, her face turning deathly pale in an instant: "You, what do you mean?"

Her voice trembled slightly, unable to believe that the man in front of her had suddenly become like this.

Gu Yun Shen turned around, coldly scrutinizing Qiao Sheng in front of him.

The fair-skinned, exquisitely dressed rich heiress of the past is nowhere to be seen. Standing before him now is an ordinary girl whose skin has gradually turned sallow, whose elegant hairstyle has been replaced by a dowdy braid, and who no longer wears those pretty little white dresses, but instead wears a blue top and black trousers.

This Qiao Sheng is completely different from the Qiao Sheng who used to make his heart flutter and whom he went to great lengths to please.

The Qiao family has already abandoned her, so what value does she have to me now?

As for making money.

Hmph, he has now found a new way to make money, and Qiao Sheng has become dispensable in his eyes.

Thinking of this, Gu Yun Shen was too lazy to continue pretending and simply said what was on his mind: "What do you mean? Qiao Sheng, if you want to be with me, you'd better behave and listen to me, otherwise we're breaking up!"

Gu Yun Shen turned to leave, but after taking just one step, he remembered the purpose of his visit and abruptly stopped.

Qiao Sheng stood there, her face deathly pale, as if her soul had been ripped away. She couldn't recover from Gu Yun Shen's words for a long time.

How dare he break up with me?

Wasn't he the one who always tried to please me before?
Were all those sweet words and tender care just a lie?

[Warning, warning! The male lead's affection level has decreased. Host, please find a solution immediately.]

The system's voice suddenly rang in her mind, like a heavy hammer, delivering another fatal blow to Qiao Sheng.

What does it mean?
Could it be that all the kindness Gu Yun Shen showed her before was just an act?

Why is this happening? Didn't they say that as long as I married Gu Yun Shen and we became bound together, everything would be fine? Qiao Sheng was filled with anxiety and confusion as she questioned the system in her heart.

[Host, this... I'm not quite sure either, but it shows that Gu Yun Shen's favorability towards you is 0.] The system's voice carried a hint of helplessness.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sheng felt a wave of dizziness wash over her, her legs went weak, and she nearly fainted.

0?

How could it be 0? Even if there were changes, it shouldn't have dropped so quickly.

Qiao Sheng slowly raised her head and looked at Gu Yun Shen.

The man's face now showed only suppressed impatience; the gentle smiles and affectionate gazes he once possessed had vanished without a trace.

So, in order to complete her mission, she broke with the Qiao family and gave up her originally comfortable life, only to receive such a cruel ending in return?
Why does this happen?

Qiao Sheng felt utterly hopeless and collapsed to the ground in despair.

All the efforts and sacrifices seemed to vanish in that moment.

"Alright, Qiao Sheng, stop embarrassing yourself here and go back."

Gu Yun Shen looked at Qiao Sheng, who was slumped on the ground, and instead of feeling sorry for her, he urged her on, his tone full of disdain.

Qiao Sheng slowly got up from the ground, her eyes vacant, then turned and ran outside like a madwoman.

Gu Yunshen watched Qiao Sheng's departing figure and muttered under his breath, "Crazy woman."

In the distance, Xia Zhi leaned gently against Lu Beiting, watching the scene with great interest.

"Hey, Beiting, look, Qiao Sheng is back in a huff again." Xia Zhi pointed to Qiao Sheng's figure in an inconspicuous corner.

Qiao Sheng gripped a butcher knife she had somehow acquired, her eyes filled with determination and madness, and charged towards Gu Yun Shen with unwavering resolve.

Xia Zhi's mouth dropped open in surprise, and the next second, a particularly loud scream rang out.
