Zhang Shuwan didn't think about helping wake Gu Jia Ning just because she was Sheng Ze Xi's sister.
Comparatively, she naturally sided with Gu Jia Ning, hoping Gu Jia Ning would rest well. Another reason was that Gu Jia Ning had a terrible temper when waking up. She had accidentally seen it once; she was like a grumpy little chili pepper. That's not something ordinary people could endure. She did it for the young woman's own good.
Fang Manping frowned, glanced at her watch; it was already past eight o'clock. Still sleeping at this time? Was this country woman so lazy?
So the woman wasn't not home; she was still sleeping late, deliberately not opening the door for her?
Thinking this, Fang Manping couldn't help but feel angry. She continued to knock on the door. She didn't believe that if she kept knocking, the woman wouldn't get up.
Zhang Shuwan frowned. This younger sister-in-law was so uncooperative.
Just as she was about to say something, she heard a creak from the next door, and it suddenly opened.
Zhang Shuwan: Oh no, oh no, Jia Ning was woken up and is definitely going to get angry.
Fang Manping heard the noise from the door and felt a surge of triumph. She knew that if she kept knocking, the woman wouldn't be able to sleep.
She wanted to see how beautiful and capable that woman was, to have made even Peng Wenjing give up.
Upon arriving at the Northwest Military Region yesterday, Fang Manping, without even having time to rest, went to the Military Region Hospital to find Peng Wenjing to inquire about news.
She thought she would hear Peng Wenjing, who liked Sheng Ze Xi, trying to sabotage that country woman. Unexpectedly, she encountered Peng Wenjing talking to a young officer. Later, Fang Manping learned that he was Peng Wenjing's blind date.
"Don't you like my brother? Why are you on a blind date with someone else? Did your brother force you?" Fang Manping guessed, after all, Brigade Commander Peng had previously arranged blind dates for Peng Wenjing, but she had strongly resisted.
"No, Manping, this time I initiated it. I'm not going to waste any more time on Sheng Ze Xi."
"Ah?"
After Peng Wenjing's further explanation, Fang Manping learned that the country girl had exceeded their expectations.
Not only was she beautiful and had a good figure, but she also possessed medical skills that even Military Region doctors sought advice from. With good looks and abilities, the self-aware Peng Wenjing felt inferior and decisively chose to give up on her feelings for Sheng Ze Xi.
Fang Manping thought that Peng Wenjing's assessment of that woman might have been exaggerated. Now, she wanted to see for herself what that woman was like!
However, as she looked up, she felt something splashing towards her.
The next second, she felt a chill on her head, face, and body.
When she finally reacted, she realized she had been splashed with water!
She had been splashed with water!
Fang Manping's eyes widened in disbelief as she finally saw the woman holding the basin.
Perhaps because she had just woken up, she hadn't washed or combed her hair. She simply wore a military greatcoat that covered her petite figure.
Her soft hair was slightly messy, and she was bare-faced, but it didn't diminish her natural beauty.
Beautiful, truly beautiful!
Stunning, incredibly stunning!
It was a kind of flamboyant, charming beauty, radiant like a flame, impossible to ignore!
Fang Manping had actually seen many beauties.
Her mother, Fang Wanrong, possessed a delicate and pitiful beauty. Li Shuyue had a pure and beautiful appearance. There were also other young women in the Art Troupe, some cute, some fresh and refined, and some glamorous.
The Beijing Military Arts Troupe wasn't lacking in women with glamorous appearances.
But this woman was completely different.
This woman's beauty wasn't commonplace or vulgar. Some women's beauty gets tiring after a while.
But this woman's beauty was like the scorching sun in midsummer—flamboyant, intense, dazzling, and increasingly breathtaking.
In that instant, Fang Manping finally agreed with Peng Wenjing's assessment.
Perhaps overwhelmed by Gu Jia Ning's beauty, after a while, she realized she had been splashed with water.
Being splashed with water in the dead of winter, although she had thick clothes on, her face and head were exposed, and she was essentially "forcefully washed."
Not only that, her clothes, brand new, were now wet!
"You, you, what did you do? Why did you splash me?!" Fang Manping trembled, pointing at her and screaming.
"Oh, there was someone at the door. Sorry, I didn't know, so I just splashed it casually." Gu Jia Ning covered her mouth and said lightly.
But Zhang Shuwan, who knew her well, saw amusement in her eyes.
Jia Ning definitely did it on purpose!
What was going on?
Why did she splash her younger sister-in-law? Wasn't she afraid that the young woman would report her to Battalion Commander Sheng?
"You, you definitely did it on purpose!" Fang Manping didn't believe she was unintentional.
"On purpose? Why would I do it on purpose? Do I have a grudge against you? I've never seen you before. By the way, I haven't asked yet, who are you? Why are you standing at my door early in the morning?" Gu Jia Ning put down the basin, leaned lightly against the door, looked her up and down, and asked.
"Jia Ning, this young woman says she's the sister of your Battalion Commander Sheng." Zhang Shuwan reminded her opportunely.
Zhang Shuwan winked at Gu Jia Ning. She thought that perhaps Gu Jia Ning had only recently married Battalion Commander Sheng and hadn't met all of his family yet, so she didn't recognize this young woman.
But if it was her younger sister-in-law, it was best not to offend her. After all, she had heard of many younger sisters-in-law who disliked their sisters-in-law and caused trouble, ruining their brothers and sisters-in-law's relationship and breaking up their families.
If Gu Jia Ning heard Zhang Shuwan's words, she would definitely say: This worry is unnecessary. In terms of causing trouble, who can compare to me? If anyone wants to compete with me, I guarantee I'll make them beg for mercy.
"Xi Ge's sister? My Xi Ge told me that my deceased mother-in-law only gave birth to him. So, what kind of sister are you? By the way, you haven't told me your name yet. Sheng...?"
Zhang Shuwan was dumbfounded.
What? Battalion Commander Sheng's mother only gave birth to him, so what's the deal with this young woman saying she's Battalion Commander Sheng's sister?
Fang Manping, being watched by Gu Jia Ning and Zhang Shuwan, felt a tingling sensation on her scalp, especially from the stunning woman. Her eyes were full of innocence, but deep down, there seemed to be amusement.
At this time, Fang Manping was also in a difficult position. She knew her identity and deliberately didn't state her name, but now...
Fang Manping had the urge to turn around and leave.
"Fang Manping, what are you doing here?" At this time, a magnetic and low male voice sounded from behind, accompanied by approaching footsteps.
Fang Manping's back stiffened instantly. It was Sheng Ze Xi's voice!
Zhang Shuwan widened her eyes. The surname Fang? That definitely wasn't Battalion Commander Sheng's sister. Shouldn't Battalion Commander Sheng's sister share his surname, Sheng?
"
