Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 201 - 200: He Really, Really Misses His Wife
Gu Jia Ning’s treatment for Hua Zhenrong is still ongoing.
The treatment time is getting shorter every day, and now Hua Zhenrong can stay awake all day because he eats well and sleeps well. His complexion and spirit are also improving.
Even his originally skinny body has gained some weight.
The Hua Family is naturally very grateful to Gu Jia Ning.
On the other side, Sheng Xinhao placed his hope on the only acupuncture master who could treat his arm.
Finally, that day, a close confidant from the railway department called to tell him that they had finally found information about that acupuncture master.
The confidant’s tone on the phone was very excited and enthusiastic.
"Sir, it’s fate! You definitely wouldn’t guess who the acupuncture master is; they’re so near yet so far. We’ve been blind all along."
Sheng Xinhao: ...
He had a bad feeling about this for some reason.
And soon enough, Sheng Xinhao realized his premonition was correct.
He heard the person on the other end say, "That acupuncture master is none other than your eldest son Sheng Zexi’s wife, Gu Jia Ning."
"Have they recently come to Beijing from the Northwest Military Region?"
"Are they staying at home?"
"Oh dear, sir, are you worried that your son and daughter-in-law will be concerned, so you haven’t told them about your illness?"
"You should tell them. Your daughter-in-law is actually the acupuncture master; she can treat you."
...
The confidant on the other end kept congratulating Sheng Xinhao.
But Sheng Xinhao only felt like his head had been slammed with a brick, causing a severe headache.
No, it wasn’t just a headache; his arm also started to hurt again.
Sheng Xinhao couldn’t help but howl in agony.
Fang Wanrong immediately came over when she heard the noise.
And the more the confidant praised him, the more it felt like the blood in Sheng Xinhao’s body was boiling, rushing straight to his head.
"Old Sheng, Old Sheng, what’s wrong with you?"
The next second, Sheng Xinhao’s phone fell to the ground with a thud.
As Fang Wanrong approached, Sheng Xinhao spat out a mouthful of old blood.
By chance, it splattered directly onto Fang Wanrong’s face.
Fang Wanrong screamed loudly in shock.
And here, after spitting out a mouthful of blood, Sheng Xinhao’s eyes widened as he fell straight to the ground.
"Old Sheng, someone help, call for help!"
...
So, the next day, Gu Jia Ning learned from Grandpa Sang that her in-law, who didn’t acknowledge her, was hospitalized.
Gu Jia Ning was puzzled. Was it the symptoms from when that stepmother came to see her last time?
However, Gu Jia Ning didn’t think much about it.
That had nothing to do with her.
Besides, neither Sheng Xinhao nor Fang Wanrong came looking for her afterward, so Gu Jia Ning was even less concerned.
What Gu Jia Ning didn’t know was that Sheng Xinhao was hospitalized out of sheer anger this time.
When he woke up in the hospital, Sheng Xinhao never expected that both the skilled female surgeon from before and the acupuncture master this time were actually Gu Jia Ning!
Someone he looked down on, the country girl he insisted his eldest son should divorce.
He never imagined a rural girl could possess such abilities.
If only he had known before...
If he had known, he wouldn’t have stopped them.
A doctor with such ability and connections, even if from the countryside, was barely worthy of his son, Sheng Xinhao.
Moreover, with such a daughter-in-law, his arm could be treated.
But now...
He had said too many harsh words in front of Sheng Zexi and Gu Jia Ning.
He even said he would never beg that woman, even if it meant death.
Sheng Xinhao was a man of dignity.
Now, it was impossible for him to go and plead with anyone.
But what about his arm?
Was he just going to let it be disabled, let others take his position?
That was something Sheng Xinhao could not tolerate.
For the first time, Sheng Xinhao felt himself caught between a rock and a hard place.
Sheng Zexi, that brat, probably knew long ago that his wife was competent and well-connected, yet he didn’t tell him. Had he really become estranged from his father?
But Sheng Xinhao remembered that when Sang Yuwan was still around, his relationship with that boy was very good.
Even after Sang Yuwan passed away, he relied heavily on his father.
When did their relationship start to deteriorate, leading to only arguments during meetings?
Was it when he married Fang Wanrong?
So, was it all because of Fang Wanrong?
Did he lose his proudest eldest son over a woman?
When Fang Wanrong came in with a bowl of porridge, what greeted her was Sheng Xinhao’s scrutinizing gaze.
Fang Wanrong: !!! What did I do now?
-
Returning home after training at the Northwest Military Region, Sheng Zexi looked at the newspaper reporting on Gu Jia Ning’s lecture.
Since being featured in the newspaper, the news spread throughout the entire military region.
Everyone praised Gu Jia Ning greatly.
Even the soldiers under Sheng Zexi’s command looked at him with eyes full of envy.
They were indeed envious, wondering how they could marry a wife as beautiful and capable as Sheng’s wife.
It seems impossible because Vice Commander Sheng is so capable, and they are quite lacking in ability.
So, better not to entertain unrealistic fantasies.
Sheng Zexi naturally noticed the envy in those soldiers’ eyes. Of course, their admiration was not just in their eyes, but also spoken aloud.
Hearing them praise Gu Jia Ning one by one.
In Sheng Zexi’s heart: ... it felt so delightful, so proud.
Ningning must be amazing; otherwise, he wouldn’t have personally sought to marry her.
Ningning is the best. These rascals, dreaming of marrying someone as good as Ningning, it’s impossible.
Then Sheng Zexi was also summoned by the leader.
The leader called him, naturally because of Gu Jia Ning, praising him repeatedly.
"Hey, leader, I know I have a good eye."
"Of course, I’m excellent, so my Ningning would take a liking to me."
Leader: ... This kid is indeed excellent, but his face is thick too.
However, seeing Sheng Zexi so happy now, as an old leader who had guided him all the way, he only felt joy.
To be honest, before, seeing Sheng Zexi as such a rebellious and unruly type, he really thought Sheng Zexi would end up alone for life.
Things are good now.
Though whenever he mentions his wife, this kid, he sure seems foolish!
After receiving the soldiers’ envy and the leader’s praise, Sheng Zexi went home and took out the wedding photo of him and Gu Jia Ning.
Gently stroking the little figure in the photo, he murmured, "Wife, when will you come back."
He really, really missed his wife.
