Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 194 - 193: "I, Sheng Xinhao, Would Rather Die Than Ever Beg You!
Sheng Xinhao, by contrast, got even angrier when he remembered the country girl his eldest son had married.
No, he couldn’t let that country girl hold back his eldest son.
Sheng Xinhao thought that Sheng Zexi was a stubborn kid.
Since persuading him was useless, it might be better to approach that country girl.
He heard that his eldest son seemed to have returned to the Northwest Military Region, while that country girl was still staying at the Sang family home. Although he didn’t know why, at least that kid wasn’t by her side.
Perhaps he could go see that country girl and persuade her to leave his eldest son.
With this thought, Sheng Xinhao planned to go find her first thing in the morning.
-
Gu Jia Ning had no idea Sheng Xinhao planned to visit her, as she had gone to bed early because of a lecture she was giving the next day.
Early the following day, she got up very early and had breakfast with Grandpa Sang and Grandma Sang.
After breakfast, Grandpa Sang went to work at the weapons research institute.
"I’ve already instructed Xiao Zhang to take you all to Beijing City Middle School later." Before leaving for work, Grandpa Sang said.
Since it was still quite early, Gu Jia Ning and Grandma Sang hadn’t left yet.
Just then, an orderly reported that Sheng Xinhao had arrived.
"What’s that old fool doing here?" Grandma Sang wasn’t pleased about Sheng Xinhao’s visit.
Though displeased, she still let him in.
Soon, Sheng Xinhao came in.
Sheng Xinhao greeted Grandma Sang, completely ignoring Gu Jia Ning who was standing nearby.
Grandma Sang looked at him indifferently, "What are you here for?"
Sheng Xinhao had long since seen Grandma Sang’s cold side, so he didn’t make much of it, directly stating his purpose, "I plan to have a talk with Mr. Gu here."
After speaking, he looked over at Gu Jia Ning.
"No way." Grandma Sang directly refused. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
What good thing could this old fool be up to wanting a private talk with the Ning girl?
Before Xiao Xi headed to the Northwest Military Region, he had instructed the old couple to take good care of Ning girl. How could she let this old fool cause trouble?
"If you only came here for this today, you might as well leave." Grandma Sang coldly dismissed him.
Sheng Xinhao’s eyes burned as he looked at Gu Jia Ning, "Mr. Gu, what’s your decision?"
Sheng Xinhao assumed that since he was her elder, or even her father-in-law, Gu Jia Ning would consent, but to his surprise, Gu Jia Ning blinked and said, "I listen to Grandma. Mr. Sheng, I really have nothing to say to you."
Since it was clear that Sheng Xinhao was unfriendly and dissatisfied with her, how could she acknowledge this father-in-law?
Knowing there wouldn’t be any good in talking to him, why should she listen?
Grandma had already turned him down, so naturally, she wouldn’t go against Grandma Sang.
Besides...
"Mr. Sheng, we have important matters to attend to and will be leaving later, so we’re afraid we don’t have time for a detailed discussion with you."
She was about to head to Beijing City Middle School shortly, they were about to leave, where would she find time to waste on Sheng Xinhao?
Unaware of this, Sheng Xinhao just thought this country girl was really rude and ignorant. He had said he wanted to talk to her, and she dared to refuse and even lie about having important matters. What important matters could a country girl have in Beijing?
If he couldn’t speak to her alone, then he’d just have to speak directly. After all, he had said those things before in front of the ex-mother-in-law.
So Sheng Xinhao said, "Mr. Gu, you should know the status gap between you and my eldest son. I’m not looking down on you, but you have neither background nor ability. What support can you provide Sheng Zexi?"
"If you truly care about him, you’ll leave him."
"Your presence will only hold him back and stop his career from progressing."
"He is capable and has grand ambitions. I don’t think you’d want to see his future in jeopardy because of you."
Sheng Xinhao didn’t feel he was belittling Gu Jia Ning, he felt he was just stating the truth.
He was merely laying out the facts.
"Sheng Xinhao, what nonsense are you spouting? Get out of here." Grandma Sang was furious upon hearing his words. This man was obviously here to sabotage Ningning’s and Xiao Xi’s relationship. How could he speak so vilely?
"Ning girl, don’t listen to his nonsense."
Gu Jia Ning was relatively calm and didn’t immediately counter him, instead asking, "Then, Mr. Sheng, what do you think I should do? I’m pregnant with two children now."
Sheng Zexi initially thought Gu Jia Ning agreed with him upon hearing her words.
"As long as you’re willing to leave my eldest son, divorce him, and stay far away, you can keep these two children. Although they can’t be considered descendants of the Sheng family, the Sang family can take care of them. However, you can’t see the two children."
"Of course, if you’re willing, I can find you a suitable man to marry and even give you a dowry."
Sheng Xinhao believed that with his son’s personality, even divorce wasn’t a safe guarantee.
So having this woman remarry was the best option.
Though it would cost some money, it would completely extinguish that brat’s thoughts.
Gu Jia Ning smiled and then said, "I’m sorry, Mr. Sheng, but I’m afraid I can’t do as you say."
"I love Sheng Zexi, so no matter what, I won’t divorce him."
"I also love my children, so I won’t leave my children either."
"Brother Xi said his future doesn’t need reliance on anyone. Whatever he wants, he will strive to achieve it on his own."
"As for myself, though I’m from the countryside, my parents adore each other, my siblings are close, and my family is harmonious. They all love and protect me, and I am equally proud because they are my family."
"So, I have never been ashamed of my rural upbringing or my family and myself being from the countryside."
"But probably, this kind of warm family affection, Mr. Sheng, you wouldn’t understand."
"Besides, why does Mr. Sheng think that coming from the countryside means being destined to have no future or ability?"
"Even the Sheng family, if you go back three generations, weren’t they just common folks?"
"Could it be that Mr. Sheng also looks down on his own ancestors?"
Gu Jia Ning’s words were understated, but each line countered Sheng Xinhao’s words.
Listening to Gu Jia Ning, Grandma Sang’s eyes grew brighter.
Initially, she feared Ning girl might be swayed by this old fool’s demeaning comments, but she didn’t expect her granddaughter-in-law to be so resolute internally.
On the other hand, Sheng Xinhao was left breathing heavily, clearly enraged by Gu Jia Ning’s retort.
"Fine, fine, I didn’t expect you, a country girl, to be so clever with words."
Gu Jia Ning leaned on her waist with one hand, rubbing her belly with the other, a smile on her lips, serene as ever, "Thank you for your praise, Mr. Sheng."
"Although I am just a country girl, who knows if there might come a day when Mr. Sheng needs to ask me, the country girl, for help?"
Sheng Xinhao considered Gu Jia Ning’s words a ridiculous joke, "Me, Sheng Xinhao, in this lifetime, I would rather die than seek help from you!"
