Sheng Xin Hao watched Sheng Ze Xi's back, his face falling.
To be honest, Sheng Xin Hao initially did have this plan.
For his grandson and granddaughter, with the Sheng family's bloodline, Sheng Xin Hao naturally wanted to protect them.
But he didn't care about this country woman.
He thought that perhaps he could find a way to keep the two children while getting rid of the woman.
But he didn't expect to be seen through by Sheng Ze Xi so quickly.
Sheng Xin Hao had to admit that his eldest son was just like him—ability, personality, temperament, everything was like him, even surpassing him.
This is also why, even after having a younger son, Sheng Xin Hao still wanted to give all his resources to Sheng Ze Xi.
The biggest reason was because he believed that only Sheng Ze Xi could continue the Sheng family's glory after his death, and even take it to a higher level.
Originally, he thought he had a long time to lay the groundwork and slowly persuade Sheng Ze Xi.
But thinking of his illness…
Made him feel more urgent.
He had to persuade Sheng Ze Xi, and he also had to find a doctor.
Before he could persuade this youngster, the Sheng family still had to rely on him.
Although Sheng Ze Xi now swore that he only had that one woman, now and in the future.
But Sheng Xin Hao didn't think so.
He was a man, and he understood men.
No man can be truly faithful to one woman for a lifetime, because life is too long, and there are too many temptations around.
Just like him, he once loved Sang Yu Wan very much.
That kind of love, even now when he recalls it, he feels sweet and beautiful.
But so what?
That didn't stop him from marrying Fang Wanrong after Sang Yu Wan's death.
Even if he didn't have much affection for Fang Wanrong, it didn't stop him from having children with her.

After the memorial service for Sang Yu Wan, Sheng Ze Xi took Gu Jia Ning and his grandparents away from the cemetery, leaving Sheng Xin Hao alone.
"Didn't you ask what he just said to me?" Sheng Ze Xi asked Gu Jia Ning.
Gu Jia Ning smiled, "Regardless of what he said, or whether it has anything to do with me, it won't affect me, so why should I know?"
Sheng Ze Xi was stunned for a moment, then laughed after understanding her logic.
"You're right, there's no need to know." Saying it would only add unnecessary worries.
"Ningning, are you tired? Do you need to rest?" Sheng Ze Xi asked.
Gu Jia Ning looked at him and said, "I'm not tired. Let's go to your comrade's house now. I think they must be waiting anxiously."
In fact, not only the Hua family was anxious, but Sheng Ze Xi was also anxious.
Hua Zhenrong held a special meaning for him.
Sheng Ze Xi didn't expect Ningning to see through his thoughts so quickly.
"Okay, let's go now. If you get tired at any time, be sure to tell me, Ningning. Remember, you are the most important to me," Sheng Ze Xi said solemnly.
"Okay, I know."
Because they were going to the Hua family, they didn't go home with Grandfather and Grandmother Sang.
When the elderly couple learned that Sheng Ze Xi was taking Gu Jia Ning to treat Hua Zhenrong, they both agreed.
"Then you go. We'll go back ourselves." The elderly couple knew the relationship between Hua Zhenrong and Sheng Ze Xi.
So, they naturally hoped that Hua Zhenrong could be cured.
That child is still so young, he shouldn't be like that.
So, after bidding farewell to his grandparents, Sheng Ze Xi took Gu Jia Ning towards the compound where the Hua family lived.
As the two were registering and checking at the entrance of the compound, a car just drove out from inside.
The person in the car was Li Tingxuan.
Li Tingxuan's application to transfer to the Northwest Military Region had been approved. In a few days, after the handover, he could go.
He knew that the person he was looking for was in the Northwest Military Region!
Thinking this, Li Tingxuan looked out of the car window.
He saw a young couple, their backs to him.
They seemed to be a couple.
But…
Li Tingxuan's gaze fell on the woman's back.
For some reason, he felt that the woman's back was vaguely familiar.
But as the car slowly drove on, Li Tingxuan's view was blocked.
In the end, he withdrew his gaze, throwing the slight doubt that had just flashed through his mind to the back of his mind.
Sheng Ze Xi and Gu Jia Ning both felt the gaze from the car, but they didn't pay much attention to it.
Soon, after registering and checking, the two went to the Hua family's home in the compound.
"Ze Xi, you're here." Sheng Ze Xi took Gu Jia Ning into the Hua family's home.
The Hua family, whether it was Father Hua who held a high position, Mother Hua who was gentle and beautiful, or the eldest brother Hua's couple, and the second brother Hua's couple, all came out to greet them.
Especially Mother Hua, when she saw Sheng Ze Xi, her eyes were full of longing and expectation.
Back then, her third son didn't get along with anyone, only Sheng Ze Xi.
Mother Hua always knew that Sheng Ze Xi was a good child.
"This is your wife." Mother Hua and the Hua family were amazed when they saw Gu Jia Ning.
Previously, Sheng Ze Xi had called the Hua family, saying that he would bring his wife to visit during this Tomb-Sweeping Day back in Beijing, and that his wife might be able to cure Hua Zhenrong's madness.
That's right, in this era, PTSD wasn't well understood, so it was called madness.
The Hua family knew that Sheng Ze Xi had always been concerned about Hua Zhenrong's illness.
So, they knew that Sheng Ze Xi wouldn't say this without reason, he must have some confidence.
They also knew about Sheng Ze Xi's marriage.
They just didn't know his wife's background.
Later, Father Hua did some simple investigations and learned that Gu Jia Ning was now a doctor at the Northwest Military Region Hospital, and her acupuncture skills and surgical abilities were excellent, able to perform surgeries that many doctors in the Northwest Military Region couldn't.
She even developed a treatment for tuberculosis, and many infertile couples sought her out, and it was said to be quite effective.
And she was also accepted as a disciple by Elder Chen.
They knew who Elder Chen was.
Anyone who could be accepted as his disciple must be extraordinary.
In fact, they had previously asked Elder Chen to see Hua Zhenrong, but unfortunately, Elder Chen didn't know much about this area, so he couldn't treat him.
Although Gu Jia Ning was Elder Chen's disciple, different fields of expertise exist, so could Gu Jia Ning treat him?
Coupled with Sheng Ze Xi's recommendation.
Therefore, they had high hopes for Gu Jia Ning's treatment.
Even though they had previously asked many people to treat their third son unsuccessfully.
But as long as there was a glimmer of hope, they were unwilling to give up.
Therefore, when they learned that Sheng Ze Xi would bring Gu Jia Ning today, even Father Hua, who was at work, and the eldest and second brother Hua's couples came.
