Upon hearing this, Shen Ling's eyes instantly turned red.

She felt utterly absurd. Shen Zhihuan was just a wild child without a father or mother's love. How could she possibly have such good parents?

Shen Ling really couldn't understand it. She thought that God had given her a second chance at life so that she could defy fate and enjoy happiness.

But how come after being reborn, all the good things seem to have been taken by Shen Zhihuan?

She went to great lengths to change her original engagement, thinking that she now had an excellent husband and superior living conditions that would make Shen Zhihuan extremely envious.

But unexpectedly, everything has now turned upside down.

Shen Zhihuan is about to move to the military compound, while I haven't gotten anything.

Thinking of this, Shen Ling's breathing became rapid. She touched her stomach and clearly felt that she was feeling unwell.

Of course, the baby in my belly is more important than getting angry.

Fearing that she might cause something unexpected due to her anger, Shen Ling quickly composed herself and wanted to go home to lie down and rest.

But as soon as he entered the house, he saw Gu Yuchuan and Wang Yulian sitting on the sofa with long faces, their expressions more unpleasant than the other's.

Shen Ling was already feeling unwell, and seeing their mournful expressions only made her more unhappy. She asked in a disgruntled tone:

"Who has offended you? Who are you trying to fool with that look?"

Gu Yuchuan and Wang Yulian were already quite unhappy, and when they heard her speak so sharply, they were even less inclined to pay any attention to her.

The mother and son were both upset about the same thing: the thought that it was Shen Ling, that troublemaker, who ruined Gu Yuchuan's originally good marriage made them both very unhappy.

I don't know what sins they committed to bring home such a jinxed daughter-in-law.

If it weren't for Shen Ling's interference, they would have married Shen Zhihuan.

Gu Yuchuan was already worried about not having connections in business. If he could have two high-status, well-connected in-laws, he wouldn't have to worry about not making big money in the future.

It's all Shen Ling's fault for cutting off their family's source of income. What's the difference between that and taking their lives?

Wang Yulian and Gu Yuchuan were already feeling unwell enough, and Shen Ling was still throwing a tantrum, complaining that her stomach was upset and that she was hungry.

The mother and son were so annoyed by the noise that they couldn't be bothered to serve her.

"There's leftover breakfast in the pot in the kitchen outside. If you're hungry, just heat it up yourself."

Shen Ling retorted, "I'm carrying your Gu family's child, and I'll be giving birth in just a few months. That's exactly the time when I need to make sure I get enough nutrition."

"Instead of trying to cook me something nice to eat, you actually dare to try and fob me off with leftovers?"

She made a huge scene, wanting her mother-in-law and husband to serve her as they used to.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yulian and Gu Yuchuan left after saying that and went out to eat at a restaurant, not even bothering to pay attention to her.

"Those two beasts are clearly taking advantage of my advanced pregnancy to manipulate me!"

Shen Ling angrily chased after them, intending to have a good talk with Wang Yulian and Gu Yuchuan, but she overheard the mother and son whispering outside the door.

"We absolutely cannot keep this daughter-in-law. Just count for yourself how many times she has brought trouble to our family since she married into it. She's a jinx!"

"If it weren't for the child in her belly, I would have divorced her long ago."

Wang Yulian and Gu Yuchuan both sighed as they finished speaking.

"Now that I think about it, Shen Ling is really not as good as Xin Yue. After the baby is born, before she even finishes her postpartum confinement, you should immediately divorce her and bring Xin Yue back to me."

Tong Xinyue is an enemy agent. What good is a traitorous woman who colludes with the enemy and betrays her country that she can fool this mother and son so easily?

Shen Ling was furious. As she lost control of her emotions, her stomach began to hurt, as if a knife was constantly twisting inside her, causing unbearable pain.

Her face was visibly pale, and the cold sweat she was sweating almost soaked her hair. She had to quickly lean against the wall to steady herself, and it took her a long time to feel a little better.

Shen Ling was so shocked that she was about to cry herself to sleep because she was pregnant.

But her parents are still in prison, and now that Shen Zhihuan's background has been brought into the picture, they will most likely be investigated again.

In that case, it's uncertain when he will be released.

Shen Ling had suffered enough at the Gu family's hands, but there was no one to stand up for her. She was heartbroken and angry, and could only blame Shen Zhihuan for all the trouble.

It's all Shen Zhihuan's fault! Ever since I met her, I haven't had a single good thing happen to me!

While Shen Ling was locked in the basement, she overheard that Lin Banxia and her husband were key targets that enemy agents wanted to eliminate, and she cursed them frantically in her heart.

Hopefully, once Tong Xinyue and Qiu Shanshan learn that Shen Zhihuan and Lin Banxia are family, they can get rid of her as soon as possible and rid themselves of this menace!

As dusk settled and it grew late, Shen Ling waited at home all day, but Gu Yuchuan and Wang Yulian showed no sign of returning.

Now, she was not only starving, but also feeling incredibly distressed.

The persistent pain in her lower abdomen filled her with intense panic.

Shen Ling had no experience with childbirth and no one to help her, so she almost thought she was going to miscarry.

Seeing that her husband was not coming home for a long time, Shen Ling couldn't wait any longer, and an idea suddenly popped into her mind.

If she were to go to Tong Xinyue now and reveal Shen Zhihuan's background to her, she could ask her to help resolve this major threat.

If you feel good, then you won't have to feel bad anymore.

Shen Ling thought about it more and more and felt that this method was feasible. She quickly stood up, supporting her belly, and went straight out the door.

Before she even reached the courtyard where Tong Xinyue was renting, she bumped into Lele, who was playing inside the courtyard, on the way.

Lele had never liked her stepmother, and knowing that the child in her womb would one day compete with her for the family fortune, she harbored even more resentment.

The two met, and despite his young age, his words were sarcastic and unsettling.

"With that big belly, you look like a toad carrying its puppies, fat and ugly. Why aren't you resting at home? What are you doing out here making a fool of yourself?"

"If my dad finds out, he'll definitely hate you!"

Lele glared at Shen Ling's bulging belly and then added a sentence.

"And the child in your belly, it will only be a bastard born without a father's love or a mother's care. My father will only love me as his one and only child!"
