"Brother Xi~"
Gu Jia Ning’s eyes lit up when she saw Sheng Zexi, and she called out as she approached and linked her arm with his.
"Brother Xi, you’ve co back so quickly?"
Sheng Zexi patted her hand, his rebellious eyes inadvertently softening, "I ca back as soon as the eting was over."
"What’s going on? At this ti, aren’t you still sleeping? Did you dress warmly?" Sheng Zexi reached out and wrapped her clothing tighter, fastened the buttons that were undone.
He also smoothed her slightly disheveled hair.
Upon hearing this, Gu Jia Ning got angry—yeah, she was sleeping, but got woken up.
Initially, she didn’t plan to get up, but with the persistent knocking outside, she had no choice but to rise, fearing soone might have an urgent matter.
But as soon as she reached the door, she heard a young girl outside claiming to be Sheng Zexi’s sister.
Gu Jia Ning imdiately reacted upon hearing it.
Last night, Sheng Zexi ntioned that in this art troupe from Beijing, there might be his half-sister.
That was the first ti Sheng Zexi spoke to Gu Jia Ning about his stepmother and stepsister.
Actually, Sheng Zexi didn’t want to talk about the filthy family matters with Gu Jia Ning, but feared Fang Manping would stir trouble, so he alerted her first.
From Sheng Zexi’s narrative, Gu Jia Ning had vaguely understood the nature of his stepmother and stepsister.
One was all talk and deceit, seemingly cautious but secretly scheming, selfish and self-serving.
Anyway, Gu Jia Ning had no good feelings for the mother and daughter duo.
Annoying stepsister, waking her up early in the morning, there’s no way Gu Jia Ning, with her short temper, could recognize her.
Just as she opened the door, she splashed a bucket of water.
She was now sweetly complaining, "Brother Xi, I don’t even know who this person is, standing at our door, calling herself your sister, but I rember that mom only gave birth to you."
Sheng Zexi understood Gu Jia Ning’s little act, cooperating, "Indeed, my mom only gave birth to , but after her death, my dad remarried, brought a stepmother who had a daughter."
Gu Jia Ning seed to have heard sothing curious, her pretty apricot eyes slightly widened, looking at Fang Manping, softly snorting, "So it’s the daughter of a stepmother, no blood relation at all, what kind of sister is that."
The couple tead up, directly tearing Fang Manping’s face off, trampling on it, making her face unbearably painful.
"What, turns out you’re the stepmother’s daughter? You and Battalion Commander Sheng don’t even share the surna, why tell you’re Commander Sheng’s sister." Zhang Shuwan felt deceived by the young girl before her.
She also understood why Gu Jia Ning was so unceremonious as soon as she opened the door and splashed water.
A husband’s stepmother’s daughter, why be courteous!
Having seen many stepmothers and stepsisters, Zhang Shuwan had no fondness for them.
Though so stepmothers are good, she dares to say, seventy or eighty percent of the stepmothers are awful.
She’s seen too many biological fathers turning into stepfathers after marrying a stepmother, and nurous stepmothers abusing and tornting the children left by their predecessors, feigning a hypocritical deanor.
Especially as won, they all see it clearly, yet the so-called fathers of the children fail to see or choose to overlook it.
If the stepmother is bad, can the daughter brought by the stepmother be good?
Anyway, Zhang Shuwan had no fondness for stepmothers and stepsisters.
Fang Manping at this mont felt stinging pain on her face, she opened her mouth wanting to explain to Sheng Zexi’s scrutiny, "Brother, I..."
As soon as she uttered it, his face turned stern.
Fang Manping instantly recalled Sheng Zexi ntioning before, not to call him brother, otherwise, he won’t be courteous!
Seeing his face darken, she quickly changed her address, "Sheng, Battalion Commander Sheng, I just heard you got married, so I ca to see sister-in-law."
"You got married without telling the family, Uncle Sheng is very upset, he originally wanted to arrange for the Li’s Shuyao to et you."
Fang Manping spoke with a tremor in her voice, but didn’t hinder her from causing trouble for Gu Jia Ning.
The implication was that Sheng Zexi acted impulsively, and his father was unhappy about their marriage, angry, and didn’t endorse Gu Jia Ning.
There was soone else truly fitting to be the daughter-in-law.
Sheng Zexi frowned, for the past two months, he hadn’t contacted Sheng Family in Beijing, unaware of the situation there.
Of course, he had suspicions about that man’s attitude.
He hadn’t inford for fear of obstruction from that man.
As for anger?
Sheng Zexi scoffed internally, if that old man could die from rage, even better, would finally compensate his mom in the afterlife!
But what does Li Shuyao have to do with this?
A blurred face flashed in his mind, rembering vaguely that the girl was sowhat botherso.
Suddenly, Sheng Zexi felt a pain in his lower back, slightly winced in pain, instantly alert, looking toward Gu Jia Ning beside him.
He saw his little wife with one hand on his lower back, now looking up at him with a soft smile.
But to Sheng Zexi, that smile seed chilling.
Gu Jia Ning lifted her eyes to glare at him.
Just when Peng Wenjing had given up thoughts about him, here cos a Li Shuyao?
This man, how many ssy romances has he drawn?
Though she had the ability to deal with her husband’s woes, it didn’t an she liked trouble.
Looking at Sheng Zexi’s sharp brows and bright eyes, along with a tall and upright figure, perhaps male charm is hazardous too!
Seeing Gu Jia Ning a bit angry, having gotten pinched without reason, facing Fang Manping, Sheng Zexi’s face chilled further.
He couldn’t help but mockingly say, "That’s my business, what’s it to you?"
"Since you’ve seen, now leave."
"Also, whether or not there’s anything, do not co over, outside, do not claim to be my sister, otherwise, even if I don’t co to seek you out, my mom might go find your mom, asking when she had a daughter."
Fang Manping didn’t expect Sheng Zexi to give her no face at all, and the latter remark made Fang Manping feel exceedingly eerie in broad daylight.
Only able to give Gu Jia Ning a deep glance before fleeing in embarrassnt.
Thinking: Sheng Zexi’s mouth is so venomous, his behavior so vile, how could this woman endure and marry him?
But upon recalling Sheng Zexi’s gentle deanor towards Gu Jia Ning just now, like a doting nanny adjusting her clothes and worrying about her getting cold, Fang Manping thought perhaps Sheng Zexi fell into this ti.
But this woman is indeed beautiful, prettier than Li Shuyao, more beautiful than any beauty she has seen, is Sheng Zexi judging by looks too?
