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

Chapter 3: If you don't pay back the money, believe me, I'll report you!
As Zhang Xiao spoke, he stepped forward to take her hand, but Xia Zhi subtly dodged him and said sarcastically, "Being your family member is quite unlucky."

Zhang Xiao's face darkened, and she looked at her with displeasure, her lips pressed tightly together.

Xia Zhi seems a bit off today, like she's on fire.

Hao Liping's eyes lit up when she heard this; Xia Zhi really dared to scold anyone.

She stepped forward and took Gu Yun Shen's arm, then nestled against her in feigned distress.

He actually gave Xia Zhi a provocative look.

“Brother Yun Shen, I know you’re worried about hurting my sister’s feelings, but a marriage without love is imperfect. Why force it?”

Upon hearing this, a hint of hesitation flashed in Gu Yun Shen's eyes. He really didn't like Xia Zhi; she was always chattering away and following him around.

Besides, people in the compound had always teased him and Xia Zhi since they were little, and he was already extremely disgusted with it. What good girl is like her, shamelessly running off to other people's houses every day?

Seeing that Zhang Xiao had agreed, Hao Dazhuang stood up and said, "Well... since things have come to this, then..."

"Wait!" Xia Zhi quickly interrupted.

Gu Yunshen frowned unhappily and said with disgust, "Xia Zhi, that's enough. We're only engaged, not married. Don't go too far."

Also, you're not as interesting as Liping at all. I get annoyed every time you come to my house.

Now that I've found true love, you'd better be sensible.

He initially agreed to the engagement simply because he thought his family would take care of him. Now that he has someone he likes, he naturally wants to break it off.

After spending the past month together, Liping made him feel very comfortable, unlike Xia Zhi who knew nothing and couldn't help him at all.

Hao Liping smiled smugly and leaned forward pitifully, "Sister, Yun Shen and I are true love."

Then, in a very low voice, she said provocatively, "Heh, Xia Zhi, in the eyes of the Gu family, you're nothing more than a nanny."

Xia Zhi stared at her coldly, suppressing the anger in her heart.

Even if she has to break off the engagement, she has to take back what is rightfully hers.

"I agree to break off the engagement with Gu Yunshen, but on the condition that the Gu family pays me back for all the money they've spent on me over the years, right? They can't have it both ways, can they?"

Gu Yun Shen immediately retorted, "Bullshit! When has our Gu family ever spent your money!"

She's the one who's been freeloading off Gu Jia.

Zhang Xiao seemed to have thought of something, and a hint of panic flashed across her face. "Oh dear, Zhi Zi, we're family, so let's not stand on ceremony..."

"Pah! Who said we're family? Let me tell you, two years ago you said Gu Yunshen would marry me, calling me 'daughter-in-law' all the time, tricking me into working for your family, saying that if I worked hard to get into university for Gu Yunshen, good days would come."

So now you want to marry Hao Liping? Fine, no problem.

Then I can't be considered a member of the Gu family. We're all from the same compound, and everyone can see how I've treated the Gu family.

Hao Liping is right, I am your Gu family's nanny.

According to the market rate of 25 yuan a month for a nanny, and I have taken care of you for two years with great care, that's 600 yuan!
And Gu Yunshen's books—I bought them all with money I earned by digging sweet potatoes. Either give me the money, or give me the books!

Xia Zhi put her hands on her hips and pointed, cursing, "This family is shameless! They know the original owner is illiterate, so they try to deceive her. They are utterly despicable!"

Upon hearing this, the people around immediately began to whisper among themselves.

"That's right. Zhi Zi and Yun Shen got engaged two years ago. Zhang Xiao doesn't even call her by name. She just calls Zhi Zi 'daughter-in-law' and makes her do this and that for them."

They were incredibly envious back then. Where could they find such a capable and obedient daughter-in-law? They often praised Zhang Xiao when they got together.

Originally, it was thought that the two would get married soon after their engagement, but Gu Yunshen said he wanted to study at home and take the college entrance examination after it was reinstated, so he kept putting it off. Xia Zhi didn't say anything, encouraging him while working hard without complaint. But now that this has happened, she can't just take advantage of him for nothing, can she?

There's no such thing as a free lunch!
Upon hearing the price of six hundred yuan, Hao Liping immediately became unhappy. "Cousin, how can you do this? Besides, no one forced you to do this. Didn't you do this willingly?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yunshen quickly chimed in, "That's right, Xia Zhi. It's not like I asked you to serve me. And those books, didn't you buy them for me yourself?"

Xia Zhi gasped in anger upon hearing this, thinking, "How shameless!"

How could the original owner have fallen for such a person and been so devoted to him?

"Gu Yun Shen, you've even been to school, yet you can say such shameless things. You tricked me with your engagement, isn't that fraud? Besides, Gu Yun Shen, you're cheating on me!"
If we report all the despicable things your Gu family has done to the Education Bureau, let's see who would dare to accept a morally corrupt college student like you!

"Xia Zhi, how dare you!" Gu Yun Shen hurriedly stood up and scolded, a hint of panic flashing across his face.

Zhang Xiao panicked when she heard this and tried to pull her back, but she slipped and almost fell.

Fortunately, he lay down at Xia Zhi's feet, grabbing her trouser leg and saying pitifully.

"Oh dear, oh dear, I was wrong about this, Zhi Zi, but I really treated you like my daughter-in-law back then. Look, how about I kneel down for you? Please, please don't tell anyone about this!"

A glint of shrewdness flashed in Zhang Xiao's eyes, and he made a move to kneel down.

"Oh, this, this, how can an elder kneel before a junior? Zhizi, if you ask me, let's just let this go."

"That's right, nobody knew something like this would happen..."

Those around Zhang Xiao looked pitiful and couldn't help but feel sorry for her. They were all from the same compound, and this was going too far.

Xia Zhi grinned as she looked at the several middle-aged women standing nearby, talking without any sense of the situation.

"Since you aunties are so kind, why don't we all help pay back the money? After all, you know what's going on."

I, Xia Zhi, am an orphan with no parents. Surely a whole group of people can't bully a lonely, helpless woman like me?

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately shut up. This was six hundred yuan, not six cents; how could they possibly come up with that?

Xia Zhi looked at the reactions of the people around her, and when she turned her gaze to Zhang Xiao, she happened to see a flash of impatience in Zhang Qiao's eyes. Sure enough, they were all wolves in sheep's clothing.

The original owner was always an outsider, so how could these people possibly treat the female lead as one of their own?

"Aunt Zhang, I'll say it again: give me back the money and the books I bought. If you don't, I'll report you!"

Xia Zhi crossed her arms and glanced sideways at the people beside her. The original owner of this body resembled her mother, being petite, delicate, and beautiful.

It's a pity that this group of people has ruined her, and she's almost become a haggard old woman. She's only twenty, which should be the prime of her youth, but she lives like a thirty-year-old old woman.

I really feel sorry for the original owner of this body!
Zhang Xiao was immediately stumped; they really couldn't come up with six hundred yuan in a short time.

Besides, if Yun Shen were to marry Hao Liping, he would need to pay for the bride price and the wedding banquet, which...

“Gardenia, I’ll give it to you, but I’m a little short on cash lately and can’t come up with that much right now. Could you give me some time?” Zhang Xiao looked at her with a troubled expression.

"That's right, Xia Zhi, Aunt Zhang already said she would give it to you, so don't be so unreasonable."

Chen Xiuping also stepped forward, "Zhizi, Liping was wrong in this matter, but we are all neighbors, and it's not good for anyone if we fall out."

Xia Zhi usually listens to her the most, and besides, let's just brush this matter off for now and wait until Li Ping and Yun Shen's arrangements are settled. As for the money, we can delay it as long as possible.

"Xia Zhi, that's almost done!" Hao Dazhuang shouted angrily, his face grim.

Xia Zhi felt a chill run down her spine as she looked at this group of people who were siding with their relatives regardless of right or wrong.
