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

Chapter 4 A Tigress and a Useless Person

If she agrees to this today, they'll probably think she's a pushover, someone they could easily manipulate in the past.

Xia Zhi's eyes darted around, and she suddenly smiled. She walked around the crowd and said as she went, "I understand. How could I bear to make things difficult for everyone?"

After saying that, Xia Zhi turned and walked outside. Then she went into her room and looked at the mess inside. There was even a disgusting smell in the air. A look of disgust flashed in her eyes.

Upon approaching, they found the original owner's piggy bank, which turned out to be a large, peeling water vat.

Looking at the few pieces inside, her heart ached. She picked them up and stormed out.

When the group saw her leave, they assumed she had given in and breathed a sigh of relief, since making a big fuss about this would be bad for everyone.

Then they saw Xia Zhi carrying a cloth bag with different colored patches, stuffing money into it as she walked out.

A group of people immediately followed out of curiosity.

Xia Zhi ran out of the family compound and, before anyone could catch up, quickly grabbed a passerby.

"Quickly, go and tell Lu Beiting that he's been cheated on and that if he doesn't come soon, he'll be an untimely father."

She then went to the locust tree at the entrance of the village, where Liu Kun, who drove an oxcart, waited to haul goods or passengers to earn some money.

"Uncle Liu, could you please take me to town?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed. She was really going to report it to the town!
Zhang Xiao was so frightened that her legs went weak. If Gu Yun Shen hadn't been there to support her, she would have collapsed to the ground long ago.

"Quick, Yun Shen, we can't let her go to town, or what will you do in the future!"

"Liping, help me support my mother."

After finishing his sentence, Gu Yunshen stormed towards Xia Zhi, thinking that this woman had gone too far.

"Xia Zhi! That's enough, is it really necessary to do this?"

Caught off guard, Xia Zhi was pulled to the ground. She was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears and lay on the ground, clutching her arm and wailing.

"They're bullying me! The college students from the Gu family are bullying me! Waaah! It's one thing for them to hook up with my cousin behind my back, but now the whole family is ganging up on an orphan like me! It's outrageous! It's absolutely outrageous!"

"Xia Zhi, that's enough! It was just a light push, what are you pretending for!"

Gu Yunshen was pacing anxiously. The military region was not far away, and if the army commander was alerted, the matter would be difficult to resolve.

"How could the Gu family be like this? They've gone too far!" Li Chunhua couldn't stand it anymore. How come she never knew the Gu family was so hateful?

"Xia Zhi, I'm begging you, please get up. I'll give you money, okay?"

Seeing the gazes of the troops not far away looking in their direction, Gu Yunshen panicked. Even if Xia Zhi didn't report it, he wouldn't get any benefit from such a big fuss.

It would be better to give her the money first.

"what happened?"

A deep, powerful voice rang out, and everyone turned to look.

Lu Beiting, dressed in military green, sat in a wheelchair with a blanket covering his legs. Although he was sitting, he exuded a fearsome aura.

"Commander Lu, Battalion Commander Lu has come too."

Upon seeing Lu Beiting, the group immediately became obedient.

Xia Zhi followed her gaze and saw a man dressed in a clean and tidy military uniform. He had well-defined features, a straight posture, and an air of authority between his brows.

Is this Lu Beiting?

He looks much better than that pretty boy Gu Yun Shen.

She thought she wouldn't be able to summon this great Buddha.

Xia Zhi rolled her eyes a few times, then wiped away her tears and walked towards Lu Beiting, her voice soft and delicate.

"Commander Lu, you have to stand up for me! Gu Yunshen and Hao Liping were caught having an affair in my room in broad daylight. If I hadn't come back sooner, my reputation would have been ruined."

"They bullied me, fine, but they kept Battalion Commander Lu in the dark, acting first and reporting later. And what's more, Battalion Commander Lu, you wanted me to switch places with Hao Liping so you could marry her."

A soft, delicate crying voice reached my ears, calling me "Battalion Commander Lu" repeatedly, making my heart itch with desire.

Lu Beiting lowered his eyes, a fierce glint flashing in them.

"Gu Yunshen, Hao Liping, ha, Hao Dazhuang, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Lu Beiting frowned slightly, his hands on his lap clenched involuntarily, and his gaze darted between the Gu family and the Hao family.

The Hao and Gu families felt a chill run down their spines under the intense gaze, and a sense of fear arose within them.

Hao Dazhuang, bewildered, broke out in a cold sweat.

Lu Beiting is still a battalion commander, and his military authority is undeniable. Even if he is injured now, he is still a man with military merits.

Completely bewildered, Hao Dazhuang's palms were sweating profusely as he stammered:

"This, this, Battalion Commander Lu, we were wrong, but things have already come to this, and besides, you and Liping are not engaged."

"Or, Battalion Commander Lu, Xia Zhi was raised by us too, what do you think of her?"

Lu Beiting remained silent with a gloomy face. The Hao family had saved his father's life, and his grandfather had arranged a marriage between the two of them when they were children. After his grandfather died, it was the chief who brought it up.

The agreed-upon date was almost here, but unexpectedly, something went wrong.

Those around Lu Beiting became tense when they saw that he didn't speak. This was Battalion Commander Lu! The Hao family was really bold.

Hao Liping gritted her teeth; she was determined not to marry a good-for-nothing.

"Lu Beiting, you're already injured, why are you dragging along a young, unmarried woman like me?"

Yun Shen and I are mutually in love. Either you marry Xia Zhi, or you two can both live happily ever after!

After all, who would want a good-for-nothing and a tigress who's been dumped?

It's better to just make do and live together.

Lu Beiting's hands on his legs clenched involuntarily, his sharp eyes fixed on them, filled with anger.

"So you all disregard me, Lu Beiting, so much?"

Without saying anything, you act first and then report later?

"Well done, that's great!"

He wasn't angry at Hao Liping, but at their disrespect for military authority.

"Commander Lu, this is really a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

Hao Dazhuang tried desperately to explain, but the truth was what it was, and anything he said would be in vain.

Lu Beiting leaned back, exuding an aura of dominance, and looked at them with disdain, "Uncle Hao, don't forget who proposed this marriage."

Hao Dazhuang froze. Who brought it up? Naturally, it was... the Commander.

Chen Xiuping, who had been firmly on her daughter's side, panicked at this moment. "Battalion Commander Lu, it's our fault for making you apologize. What happened between Liping and Yun Shen has already happened. If she remarries you, it won't be good for your reputation."

Hao Liping couldn't help but look at Lu Beiting, a hint of infatuation flashing in her eyes, but it quickly turned into hatred.

Lu Beiting is indeed more handsome than Gu Yunshen and has a better family background, but what good are those advantages?

His body is ruined; he's definitely not going to be someone who can accomplish anything significant in the future.

"I don't necessarily need Hao Liping. I only agreed to it because of the leader. You should think carefully about how to explain this to the leader."

Xia Zhi looked at her family members who were completely taken aback, and immediately felt a sense of satisfaction.

Seeing Zhang Xiao and Gu Yunshen trying to keep a low profile, she got up and walked towards them.

Zhang Xiao looked at Xia Zhi walking over and was so frightened that she took two steps back. What was this madwoman up to now?
