Transmigrated as the Evil Stepmother, I Bully the Whole Family, Yay! Chapter 279
Sizhe's arrival caused quite a stir at the military hospital. So speculated that he was pursuing Doctor Liang Jing, but others dismissed the idea as impossible, insisting he was rely visiting out of gratitude.
With Regint Commander Lin's qualifications, he could have his pick of any girl. Why would he insist on choosing Doctor Liang, who was older, had an unlikable personality, and was always busy with work?
However, their discussions ca to an abrupt halt when the two erged from the office. As Doctor Liang Jing watched Regint Commander Lin leave, a flower was surprisingly pinned to the breast pocket of her white coat, and she wore a distinctly shy and bashful expression.
The young nurses, who had initially been thrilled by Sizhe's arrival, were left heartbroken. They wondered if there was sothing wrong with Regint Commander Lin's eyes—how could he possibly fall for Doctor Liang?
Sizhe stayed for two days. He escorted Doctor Liang to and from work every morning and evening, and they went out for lunch together at noon. By the ti he left, they had confird their feelings for each other and entered the sweet phase of a romantic relationship.
Over the course of a year, Sizhe made their relationship heat up rapidly. Then, Liang Jing began to worry again. Her family was urging her to get married, but she didn't want to leave her current job. anwhile, Sizhe was about to get a promotion, making it even more unrealistic for him to transfer over to be with her.
When they t again, Sizhe clearly noticed that Liang Jing was in an unusual mood. He had held off on ntioning marriage because he feared she would think things were moving too fast, but now he asked tentatively.
"Xiaojing, we've been together for quite a while now, and I've already t your parents. When do you think it would be convenient for to tell my parents, so our families can et and discuss a wedding date?"
Liang Jing wasn't overjoyed by Sizhe's words. She had never worried that he wouldn't marry her; she just hadn't decided whether she was ready to change her current life for the sake of marriage.
Thinking of everything Sizhe had done for her, she gathered her courage and confessed her true thoughts. "If we get married, is it okay if I don't transfer to Rongcheng?"
"Of course!"
To Liang Jing's surprise, Sizhe gave his answer without a mont of hesitation.
"If there's a vacancy in the military region here, I can transfer over. If there isn't a position available, we'll have to wait a bit, and I'll have to wrong you by having us live apart for a while after we're married."
Compared to Sizhe, Liang Jing felt extrely selfish. "You have such great career prospects in Rongcheng, and you're about to be promoted to brigade commander. Wouldn't it be a pity to transfer away at this ti?"
Sizhe finally understood what was on Liang Jing's mind. He held his sweetheart's hand and comforted her.
"I don't have any pressure in life, and I'm not obsessed with official titles. My father is a soldier, and it was under his influence that I joined the military. For , as long as I can contribute my share to the army, that's enough. The position is secondary.
Don't overthink it. Maybe if my father works hard, he can even be promoted to army commander in a few years. When that ti cos, no matter where I transfer, no one will dare to block my promotion."
After clearing the air, discussing marriage was officially put on the agenda. Liang Jing first communicated with her family. Upon learning how much Sizhe valued their daughter, her parents imdiately stated that the Lin family only needed to prepare the marital ho.
Things like the bride price and furniture would all be covered by her own family. This requirent was nothing to Sizhe at all. The allowance he had saved up was more than enough to buy a house and furniture with over half left over, so he wouldn't even need to ask his family for money.
Over in the capital, Qiqi teasingly provoked her father. "Dad, what are we going to do? The son you worked so hard to raise is going to beco a live-in son-in-law for the Liang family. May I ask how you're feeling right now?"
"I don't feel much of anything. But if you could manage to marry yourself off this year, I would definitely be much happier."
Lin Han was leisurely reading the newspaper on the sofa, his face devoid of any expression. Qiqi, who had wanted to annoy him, ended up looking displeased instead.
"I absolutely won't get married! Even my mom doesn't find an eyesore, yet you're always rushing to get married. You're ruining my happiness!"
Nan Sheng found Qiqi's furious look amusing and joined the fray.
"I'm your stepmother, how would I dare dictate your marriage? Even if you lived at ho for the rest of your life, I wouldn't dare make a peep, right?"
When Lin Han scolded Qiqi, she rely got angry, but when Nan Sheng said it, the child's defenses imdiately crumbled. She let out two loud wails and ran over to cling to Nan Sheng's leg.
"Mom, how could you be like this? I'm your sweet little jacket, how can you say such infuriating things just like Dad!"
The elderly Nan couple were left speechless by this family. The biological father didn't act like one, showing no concern at all for his child's marriage. The stepmother wasn't afraid of having no one to care for her in her old age, frequently reminding the child that she wasn't her biological daughter. Neither of them acted like proper parents.
The older people get, the more they hope to have their children gathered around them. Zhong Yanyan felt deeply emotional about this.
"I thought the eldest boy would co back to the capital to live after getting married. We even set up this house for him, but he ran off to such a faraway place. Sigh, when he has kids in the future, they'll probably be just like Xiao Feng—not close to the family."
Although they had never criticized their son, and they understood that their grandson had a better relationship with his maternal grandparents because they spent more ti together, they still felt a bit sour seeing the child imdiately run off to the Northern City every ti he had a break, even though he attended high school and university here in the capital.
Seeing that her grandparents were feeling down, Qiqi hurriedly comforted them. She winked at the elderly couple and said, "Isn't that great? In the future, Mom and Dad's money will all be left to my daughter. I'll beco a wealthy landowner!"
Her words made everyone want to laugh. Qiqi didn't even want to get married, yet she was already chattering about having a daughter in the future. Nan Jingyu was particularly supportive of her on this point.
"Grandpa doesn't know if your parents will give you money, but in the future, Grandpa's money will definitely be spent on my granddaughter and great-granddaughter. I'll buy you all clothes and delicious food."
Ever since they moved to the capital, Qiqi had always been by their side keeping them company. She was filial and loved to act spoiled, and both Nan Jingyu and Zhong Yanyan doted on her incredibly.
Even after she started working, Qiqi would sotis go to their shop to tease her grandparents and ask for pocket money, giving them a special sense of accomplishnt in raising a child.
Since the marriage was on the agenda, the parents of both sides definitely had to et. As the groom's parents, going to the bride's parents' place was the most basic sign of respect. Lin Han and Nan Sheng both took ti off from work at the sa ti.
Liang Jing's family was also quite well-off. Both her parents had formal, respectable jobs. She was the youngest in the family and had two older brothers who had been married for a long ti and had relatively grown-up children.
Lin Han and his wife flew over. Sizhe picked them up at the airport, and then the family rode in a sedan to et their future in-laws.
Before Liang Jing started dating Sizhe, she had often been mocked by her two sisters-in-law for not being married. Fortunately, she had a job, and her parents weren't the type to force her into marriage just for the sake of saving face.
When she confessed to her family that Sizhe ca from a wealthy background, her two sisters-in-law hadn't believed it, thinking Sizhe was exaggerating. It was only today, when the two families officially t, that they realized their sister-in-law had actually been speaking conservatively.
Three cars were currently parked at the entrance. The front and rear cars were filled with accompanying security personnel. Sizhe got out first and opened the door for Nan Sheng. At this mont, Lin Han also stepped out of the car, and the Liang couple hurried over to greet them.
"Division Commander Lin, Mrs. Lin, please co inside. You must have had a tiring journey!"
They were incredibly nervous inside, but they had to pretend to be perfectly relaxed on the surface. Liang Jing's two older brothers and their wives followed quietly behind; after exchanging greetings, they didn't dare to utter a single extra word...
