The Strongest Stepmother: Farming with Kids, Beautiful and Capable

Shen Ningsi was originally a doctor from the agricultural research institute, not only proficient in farming but also skilled in medicine. She was a prominent rising star in Huaguo!

Who knew ...

Chapter 72: Trying to Please

The smile on Gu Hongbi's face froze completely. He glared at Gu Xiuwu fiercely, but in the end he said nothing. He just snorted coldly and turned his head away.

Now it was Gu Xiuwu who was unhappy. He was surprised that Gu Hong suddenly changed his personality and didn't quarrel with him.

"Oh, why are you speechless now? How come our great General Gu finally feels that he is in the wrong? This is really rare."

Gu Hong just glanced at him indifferently. This brat was simply courting death by trying to provoke him with these words.

"Didn't your mother say that I couldn't take good care of you? Then why don't I just show you how good I am? But Gu Xiuwu, you'd better not be too proud. After all, your mother's heart is not made of iron. By the time we reconcile, you little brat won't know whether crying is any use or not."

Gu Xiuwu's originally triumphant smile froze on his face. He was unwilling to give in to the man who wanted to compete with him for his mother, so he gritted his teeth and continued.

"Don't think that you can win back mother's heart by taking care of An An Kang Kang here now. Mother cannot be appeased by small favors."

Seeing that there was a sign of another quarrel in the room, Gu Xiuwen calmed down his expression and pushed the door open.

He stared at Gu Hong and saw that the words Gu Xiuwu had just said did not make the man look angry.

"If you're pretending to be nice to us just to get Mother to change her mind, then you won't be able to win her back."

Gu Xiuwen's voice was calm, without any emotion.

"Don't worry, I understand what you understand, so why shouldn't I understand it? After all, I've lived two years longer than you, a brat. I'm not that stupid."

Gu Hong just chuckled softly and continued to use the pile of toys that he had just asked someone to bring over to coax the two babies lying on the bed who were still unaware of the world.

"There's nothing Gu can't see with her eyes. She'll definitely know if there's even a hint of falsehood."

When Gu Hong said these words, the corners of his mouth rose involuntarily.

When he reacted, he quickly straightened the corners of his mouth.

She's just a smarter woman. There's nothing to be proud of. Don't let that woman Shen Ningsi see it.

She might even be happy.

"Before she clearly decided to accept me, she would never show any softness towards me. Ultimately, I just knew from your mother's words that I had indeed done something wrong in the past."

Gu Hong lowered his eyes slightly, not knowing whether Gu Xiuwen had seen it wrong, but he actually saw some self-blame in the man's eyes.

"In the final analysis, it's not just about making Shen Ningsi accept me again..."

Gu Hong rolled his eyes, as if thinking about how to find a suitable excuse for his actions.

"I'm the commander of the Gu family army. With so many people following me, I naturally have to behave normally. Otherwise, how can I convince so many people?"

Gu Hong coughed lightly and turned his head away. "Alright, you brat, there's no need to yell at me. I'm not going to say anything nice. Just watch carefully how I treat these little ones. If you can accept me, then everyone is happy. If you can't accept it, I've done everything I can."

Gu Hong snorted angrily, "Even if the Gu Group doesn't accept me then, it won't matter to me!"

Shen Ningsi, who was standing outside the door, heard this and walked in without any hesitation.

"General Gu, let me be frank. You have not been coerced into anything you have done. If you do not achieve a satisfactory result, please do not blame me."

Gu Hong's expression didn't change at all when Gu Xiuwen came in just now. But when he heard Shen Ningsi's voice, he stood up with a bang.

This man, who had been on the battlefield and whose sword was stained with blood, had an undisguised look of nervousness on his face.

"When did you come in? What you just said..."

Gu Hong suddenly stopped talking, staring at Shen Ningsi and couldn't help gritting his teeth.

"You should know that I don't care!"

If he ignored Shen Ningsi's feelings and just wanted to kidnap these children, what would happen if he directly asked Gu Jiajun's men to kidnap these children?

Even if Shen Ningsi has some ability, can he really stop these rough guys?

Isn't it because he wants to take Shen Ningsi away that he is taking good care of the two babies here?

"I believe what General Gu said now is false. General Gu is so famous that he shouldn't think that an ordinary peasant woman like me is important. It's normal for you to have a choice. Ultimately, everything you do now is just to leave a good impression in the hearts of Wen'er and Wu'er."

“…”

Gu Hong felt that all the baggage of his life had been completely abandoned by Shen Ningsi. This woman had nothing to say. In order to distance herself from him, she could even pretend to be blind with her eyes open.

“Shen Ningsi!”

"General, what are your instructions?" Shen Ningsi spoke softly, leaning forward and bowing gracefully. There was nothing wrong with her every move.

Uncle Gu heard the noise and hurried over. Seeing Shen Ningsi and Gu Hong in a tense situation from a distance, he spoke loudly.

"Gu Hong, you little brat, you don't even listen to your Third Uncle!"

Uncle Gu was in a hurry. Shen Ningsi saw it and hurried to meet him. When she supported Uncle Gu, she couldn't help but scold him.

"Uncle San, it's not a serious matter. Why are you so anxious? If I make you anxious, it will be my great fault."

Hearing Shen Ningsi's words, Uncle Gu's expression couldn't help but soften a little.

He vented all his anger on Gu Hong.

"You stinky boy, you treat your wife and children badly, and when you get home you don't want to admit your mistakes, but you are still showing off your power as a general, and what are you arguing with Miss Shen about!"

Gu Hong has a lot of grievances. Even if he wants to learn to be nice to them, he should give Shen Ningsi and the others a chance, right?

Shen Ningsi now seemed to be covered with thorns. No matter what he did, it reminded him that she didn't want to have anything to do with him.

Gu Hong gritted his teeth silently, "Uncle San, I did something wrong. I will do my best to control my temper."

Gu Hong stared at Shen Ningsi intently. He really couldn't understand how such a stubborn soul could exist under such an ordinary face!

"Don't worry, no matter what Gu thinks of me, I will definitely make her change her mind soon!"

The faint smile on Shen Ningsi's face finally disappeared little by little.

The man sounded really persistent.
