Chapter 202 Shen Ziming's Explanation
Shen Ziming had an incredulous expression on his face. After he realized what was happening, a strange feeling flashed through his mind.
Soon, Shen Ziming grabbed Xu Jin by the back of the neck. "Xiao Jin, don't talk nonsense. If word gets out, do you still want your reputation?"
He's a man, so he can disregard these reputations, but Xu Jin is still an innocent girl, and her reputation shouldn't be tarnished.
Xu Jin clicked her tongue, "Reputation can't put food on the table."
No sooner had I finished speaking than fate grabbed me by the back of the neck.
Xu Jin pouted. She was already twenty-eight, so why did Brother Shen still treat her like a child?
You can just grab it by the neck.
Upon arriving, Chen's mother grabbed Xu Jin's hand and earnestly admonished her, "Xiao Jin, you can't say these things to outsiders anymore, it's bad for your reputation."
Father Shen also looked disapproving.
They had heard the insults Shen Pianran had said to Shen Ziming, and they knew that Xu Jin had only said she was willing to marry him to protect Shen Ziming.
It all comes down to the bond the children have shared since childhood. When Shen Ziming was humiliated, his younger sister Xu Jin stood up for him without hesitation.
Xu Jin and Shen Ziming got along because she loved to fight and cause trouble with Shen Mo when they were young. The two of them were both troublesome and liked to run away from home, and they were almost kidnapped by human traffickers.
Fortunately, they ran into Shen Ziming who had returned.
Shen Ziming was almost beaten to death by human traffickers while trying to save Xu Jin. It was only after Shen Mo, who had escaped, called an adult that they were saved.
From then on, Xu Jin played even better with them, and only Shen Ziming could control the fearless little devil.
Shen Pianran, who was standing to the side, also knew about the relationship between Xu Jin and Shen Ziming. She didn't understand why they acted like enemies when they were clearly family.
They treat outsiders more like family.
Her family wasn't very close to her uncle's family either; in fact, after her uncle's family was sent back from exile, they never gave her a kind look.
Later, she was humiliated by Jiang Ning at the hospital and then physically assaulted by Shen Mo at home. The grudge grew bigger and bigger, and she was so angry that she knew about today's blind date that she staged this whole thing.
Although Xu Jin ruined the plan, Shen Ziming's illness could no longer be kept secret.
Thinking of this, Shen Pianran felt much better.
She looked at Mr. and Mrs. Shen and said, "Uncle, Aunt, you are so immoral. My brother is in poor health, and instead of taking him to the hospital for treatment, you are making him go on blind dates. Are you so eager to harm other girls?"
"ah--"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Xu Jin punched her in the face.
Shen Pianran stared at Xu Jin in disbelief, a burning pain shooting through her face. "Ahhh, Xu Jin, how dare you hit me!"
"Who told you to spew filth like that? If I don't hit you, who will I hit?" Xu Jin clenched his fist, showing no remorse whatsoever.
She was used to being mischievous as a child, but after she went her separate ways with Brother Shen and Shen Mo, she calmed down a lot. However, she is not without a temper.
Shen Pianran insulted people several times, so who else should we hit if not her?
There were also elders standing in the courtyard. They never expected things to escalate like this, and they didn't expect Xu Jin to take action.
Shen Pianran was punched on the bridge of her nose by Xu Jin, and a trickle of red blood flowed out.
Shen Pianran became even more frantic.
But Xu Jin saw her outbursts as incompetent rage, and every time Shen Pianran was hit by her, she couldn't do anything about it.
Old Master Shen's face darkened. "Xiao Jin, how could you hit Pianran?"
Shen Pianran grew angrier the more she thought about it. She rushed over to grab Xu Jin's hair, but Xu Jin dodged her.
He even gave her a provocative look.
Shen Pianran was even angrier.
If there hadn't been so many people in the courtyard, Xu Jin would have liked to throw a couple more punches.
The urologist said that Brother Shen's condition is not incurable. At worst, he can be given medication. The medication can stimulate the dysfunction in that area, and after a couple of stimulations, it might be cured.
Qi Jinfeng, who had been an outsider throughout, walked over to Professor Qi, her voice full of complaints, "Grandpa, how could you have chosen such a family? The man is no good and you still made me come here for a blind date. Aren't you trying to ruin me?"
Qi Jinfeng's words immediately made everyone present look uneasy.
Shen Pianran's anger subsided considerably.
Xu Jin's expression changed.
Shen Ziming pulled Xu Jin back in time.
The other party wasn't a member of the Shen family. Xu Jin hit Shen Pianran, and he helped cover for her, but hitting someone else and making a big fuss would be bad for her.
Xu Jin glared angrily at Shen Ziming.
In the end, it was Old Master Shen who stepped in to take charge. "Alright, this was my fault. I was the one who arranged the blind date. Ziming had no idea that such a big joke had been made in the family. Let's leave it at that for today."
Huh?
Xu Jin turned to look at Shen Ziming. He didn't know there was a blind date today?
It seems she misunderstood Brother Shen.
Professor Qi left with his granddaughter, and the "tool" that Shen Pianran brought back also left. By the time Jiang Ning and Shen Mo arrived, the gossip hadn't even started.
But then they caught Shen Pianran and Xu Jin wrestling.
While Xu Jin wasn't paying attention, Shen Pianran grabbed Xu Jin's hair, and Shen Mo, who had just arrived, grabbed Shen Pianran's wrist.
Xu Jin's scalp ached from being pulled, but she didn't stop herself from punching Shen Pianran in the face.
Shen Pianran was caught by Shen Mo, and Xu Jin was in charge of beating her up.
This scene felt like stepping back into my childhood.
Jiang Ning stood in the front row next to Shen's mother, enjoying the melon seeds.
Even after being beaten, Shen Pianran continued to hurl insults, constantly bringing up Shen Ziming's physical incompetence.
In the retirement compound, there were many residents around the Shen family's house, and many people gathered at the Shen family's door as Shen Pianran shouted loudly.
The news that Shen Ziming was unwell spread.
Jiang Ning, the only one who knew that Shen Ziming was healthy, was stunned. She hadn't expected Shen Ziming's lie to escalate to this extent.
What Chen's mother tried so hard to keep hidden has now become known throughout the entire compound.
She looked terrible, but she couldn't say anything, since it was true that her son was unwell.
Xu Jin got into a fight with Shen Pianran. After all, this was in the Shen family's house, and she ran away after she finished fighting.
Shen Pianran was so angry that she spoke recklessly.
She shouted loudly, and was eventually dragged into the back room by Shen Mo.
Shen Ziming was also helpless about how things had turned out this way; it was all because he had told a lie that this situation had arisen.
Jiang Ning and Shen Ziming exchanged a glance, asking for his opinion. Shen Ziming nodded to her and then spoke first, "Mom, I'm fine. I'm sorry for lying to you."
"What?" Mother Shen was stunned.
Mother Shen subconsciously looked at Jiang Ning, who immediately said, "Mom, my brother's health is really fine. He only lied because he had no other choice. Please don't be angry."
Jiang Ning was afraid that Chen's mother would be furious when she found out that her eldest brother was unwell, so she quickly supported her.
Shen Ziming explained apologetically, "Mom, my research institute is at a critical juncture recently, and the frequent blind dates have affected the progress, so... that's why I lied to you."
Shen's mother knew, of course, that he was a key figure in the weapons research institute and bore the heavy responsibility of serving the motherland.
After calming down, Chen's mother began to reflect on whether she had pushed her son too hard, causing him to tell such a huge lie.
