Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 1712: Vicious

After Father and Mother Zhou abandoned Zhou Zheng, they had abandoned Zhou Zheng for good and truly could not care less about Zhou Zheng. Without the elderly couple’s guidance, Zhou Zheng struggled like a fly without a head. Huihui immediately replaced Mother Zhou, becoming the Zhou Zheng’s ‘guiding light’.

After having his son, Zhou Zheng had completely forgotten about the existence of his daughter, Zhou Xing. Instead, he treated the stepdaughter that Huihui had brought along as his own biological daughter.

Knowing that the two elders in the Zhou family favored Zhou Xing, Huihui knew that there was nothing she could do to change the elderly couple’s mind. As such, she simply turned her anger toward Zhou Xing and thought of her as a thorn in her eye. She tried all ways to boycott Zhou Xing and scheme against Zhou Xing, making so much of a fuss that Zhou Zheng treated Zhou Xing as though she were an enemy. Zhou Zheng even said to Zhou Xing, “You’re your mom’s biological daughter indeed. You’re just here to ruin my life. Your mom cheated on me, making me look like a fool in front of everyone else. But you’re more vicious than your mom. You have such an evil heart at such a young age. Do you really think that everything in the Zhou family belongs to you now that my relationship with your grandparents has soured? You’re still young and insensible. To your grandparents, I’m the closest kin they have. Don’t blame me for ignoring you even if you die in the future since you’re so heartless to your own father now!”

Zhou Zheng thought that Zhou Xing had been the cause of his parents being disappointed in him, and deciding to distance themselves from him so much so that they were not even willing to meet him. Of course, Huihui was the one who had made such an analysis for Zhou Zheng.

After being reprimanded so viciously by Zhou Zheng, Zhou Xing was almost at her wits’ end. Without her mom, the only one she thought of was her father. It had not been easy for her to meet the father whom she had missed so badly. But instead of a touching reunion, it had only been heart-wrenching pain.

What had she done? What had she said to her grandparents?

It was always her grandma telling her about what was going on. She had no idea about what was going on with her dad and that woman. “What rights do you have to talk to me like that? You won’t care even if I die? You’re making it seem as though you ever cared for me after you got remarried!”

Zhou Xing had been pampered while growing up too, so her temper was not particularly good. Even a saint would get angry after being maligned by their own father like that, much less Zhou Xing.

“You’re so young, but you’re already so scheming! Do you really need me to care for you?” Zhou Zheng sneered. “I’m warning you not to go too far. It’ll be too late for you to regret if you force others to take extreme measures in the future just because you’re being so extreme now! Chengcheng is so young. What does he know? He’s just a child, and he’s your younger brother. If you dare to speak ill of Chengcheng to your grandparents, be careful that I might punch you the next time I see you.”

At the mention of this, Zhou Zheng was infuriated. He could understand why his parents were angry at him and Huihui. But there was no reason for his parents to ignore Chengcheng and refuse Chengcheng visiting them. As such, there was no way for Chengcheng to get acquainted with them. Chengcheng was only five years old. He was a chubby, intelligent, and extremely adorable kid.

Neighbors always liked to carry him and play with him. How could they, as grandparents and parents, not like Chengcheng and refuse to see him?

All this could only be because of what this bad child, Zhou Xing, had done!

Huihui had been absolutely right. Zhou Xing was the spitting image of her biological mother and was nothing like the Zhou family. That was why she was so different from her father.

Zhou Xing’s eyes were red. “So that’s the reason why you’ve come to make trouble for me. Do you know why grandma and grandpa don’t let Zhou Cheng visit us? I guess you probably don’t know. That woman probably told you something. That’s why you think that I’m the reason for this happening. But I’ll tell you if you want to know. The moment grandma hears Zhou Cheng’s name, she gets very excited and says that that woman is just dreaming. Zhou Cheng? It’s a good name, but her dreams might not become reality. I’m also telling you that that woman really knows how to teach her son. Zhou Cheng came over to our house last weekend and searched through grandpa’s drawers. He even pocketed two thousand yuan that grandpa was going to use to pay for our utility bills.”

“He was caught red-handed by grandpa. When grandpa asked him to hand over the money, Zhou Cheng refused and even kicked grandpa, calling him an old foggie. He said that everything of the Zhou family was his. The Zhou family’s money was also his. He was going to bring it back to his mom. He called grandma and grandpa old foggies. When they passed away, he would definitely not cry because they had treated his mom badly. They had treated him badly too. He would never pay his respects at his grandparents’ death. He even told grandma and grandpa that he would never even address them as their grandparents in the future if they continued treating him badly!”

Zhou Xing had always understood why her grandparents disliked Zhou Cheng, but she had never expected that not only did her dad not understand the situation, but he had even put the blame entirely on her!

“Dad, do you think that that wife of yours really knows how to teach her son? Or do you mean that he speaks your mind too? Do you call grandma and grandpa old foggies in front of Zhou Cheng?”

“Nonsense!” Zhou Zheng expression darkened and he could not hold his anger in. With one punch, he knocked Zhou Xing straight to the ground, causing a nosebleed. Zhou Zheng himself had not expected that his slap would be so harsh. Seeing Zhou Xing on the floor and bleeding, Zhou Zheng was a little frantic, and he immediately helped Zhou Xing up. “What are you looking at? I’m just disciplining my daughter! What has that got to do with you?”

“You don’t need to hit a child to discipline her. What if you injure her? You shouldn’t use force to discipline children nowadays.” Other parents who had witnessed the scene expressed their displeasure. That child was his, so it was his fault if he decided to hit his child out in public. What if that scared their children?

They had really never seen fathers who hit their children in front of so many other people. His child was already a teenager who would soon enter junior high school. At such an age, children were concerned about their dignities. They had heard everything. They knew that this man had remarried. No wonder he was so brutal to his child from his first marriage.

“Why did you hit Xingxing?” Mother Zhou, who had come to pick Zhou Xing up from school, had witnessed the scene. Seeing Zhou Xing’s nose bleeding made her heart ache, and she landed a hard slap on Zhou Zheng’s body. “What’s wrong? Your son wants me and your dad to die early so that we won’t stand in his way. Do you want to kill us too? Xingxing is still a child, and she is your daughter. How has she offended you? Why did you slap her so brutally? Do you think you’re fit to be a father?”

The moment she saw Zhou Zheng, Mother Zhou flared up.

Mother Zhou did like her grandson.

But Mother Zhou had never carried her grandson since he was young even if she liked him. Neither had she managed to hold her grandson’s hand more than a few times.action
