Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 229 - 228: A Xi, Something Big Happened in Your Family!
Because she had twins, Gu Jia Ning’s breast milk wasn’t enough.
So nowadays, the two children are being fed a mixture of breast milk and formula.
It’s all going well; both little ones are healthy and chubby.
Jiang Baihe and Zhang Shuwan’s children sometimes feel unwell, but Xingxing and Yueyue haven’t had these issues.
Gu Jia Ning knows it’s because she gave the little ones the Body Strengthening Pill.
As for that pill, which has a 30% chance of developing hidden potential, Gu Jia Ning hasn’t noticed anything unusual in the kids for now.
When the children turned a month old, Gu Jia Ning hung the system-rewarded amulet on their wrists.
Though it’s called a possession talisman, it can freely choose its form before being taken out.
Gu Jia Ning chose a red string form, simple and unobtrusive.
Then she put it on their little hands, which are as white and tender as lotus roots.
Of course, Sheng Zexi, herself, her mom, and Grandma Sang also got one from Gu Jia Ning.
They are the same red string style, but she didn’t say they were amulets; she simply said the red strings could ensure safety, serving as a blessing.
Yao Chunhua, Grandma Sang, and others accepted them.
They just see it as Gu Jia Ning’s blessing for them.
Moreover, since Xingxing and Yueyue wear them, they wear them too, as that’s what makes a family.
As for Sheng Zexi, watching Gu Jia Ning personally put the red string on him, he knows it’s an amulet.
Sheng Zexi immediately understands; this amulet isn’t just a blessing but a real protective charm that can save you when you encounter danger.
Gu Jia Ning releases a sigh of relief when she sees the amulet on Sheng Zexi’s wrist.
After all, Brother Xi frequently goes out on missions, most likely to face danger.
With this amulet, she feels more at ease.
An amulet can only ward off one fatal danger.
If a person could wear more than one amulet at a time, Gu Jia Ning wouldn’t mind giving him several.
Just after putting it on, a young soldier at the door says there’s a call for Sheng Zexi from Hua Zhenrong.
"Let me go to the communications office first to see if Zhen Rong is looking for me about something."
"Alright."
Very soon, Sheng Zexi arrives at the communications office and picks up the phone.
"This is Sheng Zexi."
"A Xi, big news, big news, your family is in big trouble?"
"What do you mean?"
On the other end, Hua Zhenrong quickly says something, and Sheng Zexi’s eyes widen instantly.
He was right!
-
Beijing Mansion.
The Sheng Family’s, Fang Wanrong’s 10-year-old son, Sheng Zerui, has just been taken away by military personnel.
The reason: Sheng Zerui was switched at birth just like Li Shuyao, and the current Sheng Zerui is actually a citizen of Country R.
Upon hearing this news, Fang Wanrong feels like her world is collapsing.
That’s the son she painstakingly raised for 10 years.
She invested so much effort and placed so much hope in him.
But now, they tell her.
He’s not her son; he’s from Country R.
And her biological son is actually deceased?
No, Fang Wanrong refuses to believe it!
Devastated and distraught, Fang Wanrong almost stumbles to the sofa beside Sheng Xinhao, grabbing his hand.
"Husband, save our A Rui, he’s our son, you can’t just stand by and do nothing, this might be some scheme by Sheng Zexi, yes, it must be!"
Fang Wanrong suspects this might be a sinister plan concocted by Sheng Zexi to eliminate his brother. There’s no way A Rui isn’t her son.
Sheng Xinhao frowns, his expression heavy, "Wanrong, what are you talking about? This has nothing to do with the eldest."
"The military personnel have already explained; due to Li Shuyao’s espionage involvement, they’re conducting a thorough investigation, leading to the discovery of several individuals, and A Rui is just one of them."
"For the military to take him away means they’ve thoroughly investigated, and you’ve seen the evidence, haven’t you?"
"Wanrong, I understand your pain. As a father, I feel it too, but we can’t avoid it. Our A Rui was swapped at birth, and the current A Rui isn’t our child."
Truth be told, when the incident regarding Li Shuyao emerged, Sheng Xinhao initially only thought about his prior plan to have Li Shuyao marry his son; beyond that, he didn’t give much thought.
Even after realizing more swapped babies akin to Li Shuyao surely exist and are being investigated,
Sheng Xinhao never imagined this kind of "luck" would strike his own Sheng Family.
Especially concerning Sheng Zexi, who looks identical.
That face’s resemblance is enough to prove they are father and son.
Regarding the younger son’s situation, he didn’t ponder much.
But surprisingly, it happened to the younger son.
The younger son Sheng Zerui was also swapped at birth and died.
Seeing Sheng Zerui pulled away struggling,
Sheng Xinhao can’t articulate his emotions.
Even knowing the younger son lacks the capability to inherit the family business, he never planned to pass it down to him.
Yet Sheng Xinhao still cherishes this younger son.
Even though he’s unable to inherit the business, as his bloodline, he could live a prosperous life.
Unexpectedly, he isn’t his bloodline.
Instead, he’s from Country R and potentially a spy in the future.
At this point, Sheng Xinhao feels slightly relieved.
Currently, Sheng Zerui is still quite young, only 10; hence, the people from Country R haven’t contacted him nor tasked him with stealing intelligence.
Sheng Xinhao thinks if Sheng Zerui were to steal intelligence, the most valuable target would be him.
If such theft occurred, causing significant damage, the repercussions on him would be tremendous.
If, if Sheng Zerui’s mission was to kill him,
Would his life also be threatened?
Thinking thus, Sheng Xinhao can’t help but feel relieved that Sheng Zerui was identified and captured.
So, currently, Sheng Xinhao’s emotions are complex.
After comforting Fang Wanrong briefly, Sheng Xinhao returns to his room.
Leaving Fang Wanrong alone, silently weeping in the living room.
It’s then that Fang Manping, having learned the news, rushes back.
"Mom, why are you sitting on the floor? Why are you crying?"
"Mom, I heard a rumor about my brother, my brother..." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Seeing her daughter, Fang Wanrong’s emotions finally crumble, "A Ping, your brother was taken away. They said A Rui is from Country R, and your real brother died..."
Fang Wanrong leans on her daughter’s shoulder, sobbing.
Fang Manping didn’t expect the news she heard to be true.
Her feelings are extremely mixed right now.
To be honest, Fang Manping doesn’t have a close relationship with her brother Sheng Zerui, but neither is it distant.
Perhaps because Sheng Zerui, though a child, is rather spoiled and somewhat looks down on Fang Manping.
Meanwhile, Fang Manping isn’t fond of mingling with her brother; on one side, she’s continuously convinced by her mother.
