Chapter 218: 216 What is this serious father doing? Chapter 218: 216 What is this serious father doing? This was probably the first time Qin Zhen had lost her temper so badly with her younger brother-in-law. Ma Zhixuan was completely stunned. He looked at Qin Zhen in disbelief, unable to understand what he had done wrong. Gong Yi pulled Hua Mi a little further away, “Come, I’ll take you home first.” After walking some distance, Gong Yi warned Hua Mi, “The Second Young Master Ma from C City doesn’t seem to be very clear-headed. You should keep your distance from him in the future.” Hua Mi rolled her eyes at Gong Yi, feeling that he seemed more like her father than her husband, “Do I look like such an idiot? I realized he wasn’t clear-headed a long time ago.” After leaving the Red Light District, Hua Mi noticed that Ma Zhixuan didn’t seem too worried about Qin Xiaolan. Yet now, he was able to direct Gong Yi and even show displeasure to the Commander’s wife for Qin Xiaolan’s sake. Though not fond of ladylike diplomacy, Hua Mi could imagine Qin Zhen’s inner annoyance. At the emergency room entrance, Qin Zhen was so angry that she didn’t even go to her prenatal checkup; she turned around, belly protruding, and walked toward her car. Ma Zhixuan hurriedly caught up, following Qin Zhen and asking loudly and with grievance, “Sister-in-law, why did you hit me? What did I say wrong today?” Qin Xiaolan had indeed disappeared, and as the Garrison Commander, shouldn’t he be responsible? In the fluttering light snow, Qin Zhen stopped, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath. She turned around, looked at Ma Zhixuan, “Your mistake is that you take yourself too seriously, and you overvalue a life that’s insignificant.” “Zhixuan, your brother sent you to Xiang City not because it’s the safest city among all cities, but to use your power to deepen the connection between Xiang City and C City.” “None of us know what will happen in the future.” “The only thing we know is that in such an almost magical era, the death rate is skyrocketing. Perhaps one day, among those corpses, there will be you, me, or even your brother.” These words were a bit harsh. Ma Zhixuan frowned, looking at Qin Zhen with disbelief, “Sister-in-law, why would you curse my brother too?” Qin Zhen laughed softly, her elaborately curled hair soon covered with a fine layer of white snow, “Ma Yongchun is shrewd all his life, yet he has a brother like you whose mind is muddled. I don’t know what he would think if he knew about your actions today.” Some issues can’t be ignored just by covering your ears and eyes. How long has it been since the sun came out? Even at its brightest, Xiang City still needed streetlights. At such a time, should Ma Zhixuan be telling Qin Zhen to be careful with her words and not to curse? Qin Zhen was almost amused to anger by Ma Zhixuan. With eyes full of disappointment, she told Ma Zhixuan, “From today onwards, I don’t want to deal with you anymore. As long as you don’t leave Xiang City, do whatever you want.” She had finally understood that Ma Zhixuan had never really suffered from childhood to adulthood. Even when disaster struck, he was well protected by Ma Yongchun and Qin Zhen. An infant not yet weaned had not grown up at all; mentally, Ma Zhixuan was still naïvely terrifying. Previously, Qin Zhen only thought that it was not bad for a boy to be somewhat simple-hearted, but today’s incident was a wake-up call. C City now entirely relied on Xiang City for survival, regardless of what kind of person Hua Mi was; she was an existence that C City could not afford to offend. A child whose emotions are clear on their face and who has not yet been weaned psychologically is entirely unsuited for the startlingly tense diplomatic situations. Hua Mi’s ruthless actions were well-known to Qin Zhen. Today, since Hua Mi was in a good mood, she did not react despite Ma Zhixuan’s repeated provocations. In a deserted place, if Hua Mi had killed Ma Zhixuan without anyone knowing, Qin Zhen would have been none the wiser. Even if he had known, what could Qin Zhen have done? He would still have to greet Hua Mi with a smile. In the adult world, matters are seldom clear-cut in terms of right and wrong, with most existing in a gray area. Qin Zhen walked away in the increasingly heavy snow, leaving Ma Zhixuan standing alone. Soon afterward, Ma Zhixuan received a bank transfer on his mobile phone. Qin Zhen no longer concerned himself with Ma Zhixuan, simply keeping him in Xiang City, indifferent to Ma Zhixuan’s actions as long as he did not leave the city. As she approached her car, she immediately instructed the driver, “Prepare some gifts, things a newly born baby can use. We’re going to see Mrs. Gong.” At the RV supermarket where Gong Yi had just taken Hua Mi, Cao Feng immediately approached to demand the maternity inspection report from Gong Yi. Gong Yi glanced sidelong at Cao Feng as if it were a matter of course and asked, “My wife’s maternity report, why should I give it to you?” Cao Feng stood upright, his expression serious, and said, “Commander, Sister Hua’s maternity report is something everyone wants to know immediately. Since you are the father of the child, we are all reluctantly patient and did not ask you for the report immediately. Please cooperate.” “What?” Gong Yi furrowed his brows, “Explain clearly, what are you trying to do?” Seeing Cao Feng’s demeanor, it seemed as though he was trying to steal the child. Had he got his status and identity wrong? Gong Yi was indeed the father of two daughters, wasn’t he? Cao Feng sighed, as if he was dealing with a person who was out of the loop, and patiently explained. This was a massive, 5000-strong Garrison parenting plan. Because their Commander was extremely busy and rarely had time to accompany Sister Hua for a maternity check, everyone showed the utmost understanding towards the Commander. However, it had already been arranged that today, three other squad leaders would accompany Sister Hua for her maternity check, and this had been scheduled. Those three Garrison squad leaders had even swapped their shifts. Everyone was working hard. The Garrison responsible for telling jokes was now required to memorize ten jokes daily, making sure he knew them perfectly. The Garrison in charge of postpartum care was studying the maternity care manual every day. The Garrison responsible for child-rearing was learning about early childhood education, preschool, elementary and middle school adolescence programs... But the appearance of the Commander had disrupted the 5000-strong Garrison’s plans, causing a bit of discontent among everyone. But nobody mentioned it. After listening, Gong Yi, pointing at Cao Feng with a trembling finger, furiously said, “What kind of plan is this? Why wasn’t a report filed for my approval? You are acting on your own!” Was approval even needed? Cao Feng hesitated as he looked at Gong Yi. They all thought that this was a private matter, unrelated to defending the city and the survivors. A matter outside their official duties. Why then must they report to a superior? Gong Yi shielded Hua Mi’s maternity report and yelled at him, “This child is mine, what are you trying to do? Go do your actual duties, stop causing me trouble every day!” And he needed to cooperate? Cooperate with these fools, what was he, the rightful father, supposed to do?
