Chapter 231 Rumors

After seeing Liang Xiaonan off, Qiuhua finally had time to think about Chunhua.

Unfortunately, I was very busy recently, so I called Erhua to go and take a look and brought a newly made quilt.

It has to be said that every time Liang Erhua goes to Chunhua's place, she has to dress up carefully, under the pretext of: not letting the little sister lose face.

His Santana is eye-catching enough, and he always makes his hair shiny.

However, Chunhua thought he didn't dress like an adult, so he started wearing suits from then on. In addition, he ate a lot of oily food, and his belly bulged as he got older, making him look more and more like a boss.

Who would have thought that the plain-dressed Liang Chunhua would have a handsome prince who was old enough to be her father?

At some point, rumors about Chunhua began to spread in the school.

"Hey, look!"

“Here it comes again, here it comes again!”

"Wow, how come she's just a country girl and has big bosses come to visit her every now and then?"

"Well, I heard..."

"What? Hey, there's some gossip to share!"

"What are you talking about!" Jinrong yelled angrily.

The girls were startled and kept their mouths shut.

"Say what you just said again!"

"Just say it! She dared to do it, but we didn't dare to say anything?" One of the girls glanced at the distance and said, "You saw it yourself. They all said that Liang Chunhua relied on her beauty to hook up with the big boss outside!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Jinrong clenched his fists.

"What nonsense are you talking about? They are right there flirting with each other!" She pointed to a place not far away.

Jinrong looked over and saw that Erhua came to see Chunhua today and brought a lot of things.

"Bullshit!"

Jinrong looked in the direction the man pointed. Erhua had just moved all the things down. He proudly pulled Chunhua's braid, and was slapped on the hand by her.

He gritted his teeth and wanted to rush over, but was pulled back by Zhang Xiaochen behind him.

"Don't go. What if there's a misunderstanding? She'll ignore you even more if you rush over like that!"

After Zhang Xiaochen said this, Jinrong regained some of his sanity.

"Why are you still cursing? You saw it yourself. We didn't make it up."

"That's right, that's right."

"Besides, this isn't something we said out loud. Many people in school know about it."

"Alright, alright, let's go!" Zhang Xiaochen urged, "Can't you see he's about to hit someone?"

A few girls took a look at Jinrong, and the man's face turned ugly. As the saying goes, a good woman will not suffer a loss in front of her, so she quickly slipped away.

Somehow the rumor reached the teacher's ears. This was a shameful thing, so Chunhua was called into the office.

The teacher was an old man who was almost fifty years old. Facing the sixteen-year-old Chunhua, it was a little difficult for him to start the topic. He drank a sip of strong tea, twisted his thumb against his index finger again and again, and then he spoke.

"Chunhua, you've always been a good student. However, there have been some bad rumors about you in school recently. Did you know?"

Chunhua shook his head: "Teacher, I don't know what the rumors are."

"It's just... Hey, teacher, let me ask you if there's a boss-like guy who comes to deliver things to you every now and then."

Chunhua nodded, thought about it, and seemed to understand why the teacher called her over.

"Teacher, you don't need to ask. The boss-looking man is called Liang Erhua." Chunhua said in a flat tone.

"Liang Erhua?" The old man frowned and pondered, "Liang Chunhua, Liang Erhua..."

Suddenly, he clapped his hands, and the wrinkles on his face opened up into a smile. He said, "Is that your brother?"

Chunhua nodded.

"Ah! It's a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!" The teacher breathed a sigh of relief, but then immediately frowned. "I don't know who spread this rumor, it's spread all over the campus. What should I do?"

Chunhua didn't seem to care at all. She smiled disdainfully and said, "Teacher, don't take it to heart. The innocent will be innocent. I can't broadcast that the big boss in their eyes is my brother!"

"Yes, yes, then you should pay more attention!" said the little old man.

When I returned to the dormitory from the office, I didn’t expect that the topic was not over yet.

Zhang Xiaochen seemed to be waiting for her in the dormitory. Seeing Chunhua coming, she approached her attentively and took out a bag of sesame cakes for her.

"Here, Finance asked me to give this to you."

Seeing that Chunhua didn't take it, she put it on her desk and took one from her own desk and took a bite.

"He said that if you take it, the other bag will be mine. Look, I've already taken a bite out of this bag, so I can't give it back. So just take it."

"Then it's all yours." Chunhua pushed it onto her desk.

"That won't work. I can't take your things every day."

Finance asked Zhang Xiaochen to run errands and deliver things every day. Most of the time, Chunhua refused to accept them. Zhang Xiaochen took two by himself, and his face became rounder and rounder.

"Then distribute it to the people in the dormitory." Chunhua still didn't want it.

"Hey, Chunhua, let me ask you," Zhang Xiaochen swallowed the sesame cake with hot water, "who is the big boss who keeps sending you things?"

"Did Finance ask you to ask?"

Zhang Xiaochen smiled awkwardly, picked up another pancake and stuffed it into his mouth, leaving a table full of pancake crumbs.

Chunhua usually didn't bother explaining, but today, for some reason, she just said, "He's Liang Erhua, my brother."

"Brother? But he looks very old!"

"He is my second brother. I am the youngest in the family. I have an older sister and an older brother."

Zhang Xiaochen nodded in understanding, then thought for a moment and asked, "But your brother looks really rich, why are you... so..."

"So rustic?"

"right……"

"Then just think of me as young and not knowing how to dress up."

Zhang Xiaochen thought about it and it seemed to make sense. Before she knew it, she had eaten two pancakes and quickly put them away.

"Why don't you eat it anymore? There's still a bag. Eat it if you want." Chunhua asked.

She smiled guiltily: I still have to report to the finance department at dinner tonight!

As they were talking, two other classmates came back from outside. They were laughing and talking about something, but when they saw Chunhua and Zhang Xiaochen, they shut up in embarrassment.

"Are you hungry? Here are some sesame cakes." Chunhua asked.

They each took a sesame cake, and perhaps because they were so soft-hearted, one of them asked, "Chunhua, are you aware of the rumors about you out there?"

"Yeah, that's an exaggeration. Don't worry, we're in the same dormitory, so of course I trust you."

Chunhua opened the book and said, "That's enough. Let others speak if they want. The innocent will be innocent."

Zhang Xiaochen quickly added, "Just believe it. He's Chunhua's brother, not some outside man. Don't listen to their nonsense."

In the evening, roommates asked to go out for dinner together, but Zhang Xiaochen hesitated.

"I... have an appointment..."

"Hey, our little Chenchen has a girlfriend?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm talking about finance."

Zhang Xiaochen said this while secretly looking at Chunhua, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she didn't seem to care at all.
