Chapter 253 Shen Zhuohang's Little Peach Blossom
At the entrance.
Jiang Ruzhen and Shen Zhuohang peeked through the window and saw the two holding hands in the ward before sneaking out.
Shen Zhuohang affectionately put his arm around Jiang Ruzhen's shoulder and walked out, muttering happily, "Mom, I heard you've been studying at university recently, and you speak much more culturedly than before!"
What you just said almost moved me to tears. If you ask me, you should read more books, otherwise you'll be swearing all the time, calling us not only "scoundrels," but also "little brats."
Arguing with those rural women was all about swearing; it was utterly unbearable. I think you're still as elegant and beautiful as you are now. If my classmates saw you, they'd definitely envy me...
Even Uncle Lu will find you more refined and will pay more attention to you. Don't you think that makes sense...?
The fourth brother kept nagging the whole way, but didn't hear Jiang Ruzhen's response. He turned to look at his mother.
Jiang Ruzhen's face had been clouded with gloom for some time, and she was staring at him with a deathly gaze.
"What...is wrong?" The fourth brother unconsciously released Jiang Ruzhen's hand, his guilty eyes darting around. "I didn't say anything wrong, did I?"
"Have you always looked down on me for being uneducated?" Jiang Ruzhen asked coldly.
"Mom, what are you saying? How could I dislike you? I just think you're much more elegant than before. What's wrong with that?" The fourth son scratched his head, wondering what he had said wrong.
“Back in the countryside, I was a widow raising four children alone, struggling to survive. If I hadn’t learned to be shrewish and swear, would you have all grown up safely?”
You think you're all grown up now? You dare to look down on your mother? If you're so capable, then don't rely on me for living expenses or to buy you a house.
You good-for-nothing, go fend for yourself. I don't care if you find someone else to be your mother.
Jiang Ruzhen was furious. She never expected that after working so hard to raise her children, her youngest son would despise her.
She admitted that she was easily hurt, and that she had broken down!
"Huh? That's not what I meant. Mom, you must have misunderstood me. I just said you're great the way you are now, and of course, you were great before too."
I'm just reminding you to be more elegant in front of Uncle Lu, otherwise what man would like you if you were swearing all the time!
I meant well, oh my god, please don't be angry...please..."
Seeing Jiang Ruzhen's red eyes, Shen Zhuohang was truly frightened, and he slapped himself hard across the face.
"I'm an idiot, I said the wrong thing, I'm a piece of trash. How could I make my dearest mother angry? Mom, hit me, I was really wrong..."
Jiang Ruzhen watched as Shen Zhuohang slapped herself hard several times before she managed to hold back her tears and let out a snort.
"You little punk, you're still too green to mess with me."
Shen Zhuohang was completely bewildered by Jiang Ruzhen's ability to control her tears; his eyes widened in surprise.
"Mom, were you faking it just now?"
"Yeah, so what? I can't handle your Uncle Lu, but I can handle you, you little brat. Today was just a small test. If you dare to say such nonsense again, I'll break your legs."
"I won't dare, I won't dare... I'll give you a shoulder massage..." Shen Zhuohang wiped the sweat from his forehead, still shaken.
If he really makes his mother cry, not only will his brothers and sisters not let him off the hook, but even Uncle Lu could kill him.
Before he came back, Uncle Lu personally came to tell him to make his mother happy when he got home and not to make her angry. Now he has just narrowly escaped death.
The fourth brother fawned over Jiang Ruzhen, whispering sweet nothings while massaging her shoulders, his attitude as humble as could be.
Jiang Ruzhen proudly crossed her arms, enjoying her youngest son's massage, and walked towards the hospital gate like a victorious fighting rooster.
As soon as they left the hospital, the two prepared to go to a restaurant for dinner.
Just then, a group of beautiful young women in military uniforms walked towards them. When they saw Shen Zhuohang, their eyes lit up and they all walked over.
But when they saw that Shen Zhuohang was trying to please Jiang Ruzhen, the young girl in the lead stopped in her tracks, her face turning deathly pale.
"Xia Yu, why are you stopping? Shen Zhuohang is right ahead!"
"Yeah, we even run into him during our vacation, which proves how lucky you are!"
"Yes, you should go up and say hello to him!"
Xia Yu's mind was blank. She muttered softly, "Didn't you guys see the pretty girl next to him? What's their relationship? They look so close!"
"Yeah, isn't Shen Zhuohang known for being aloof and arrogant? When did he get so close to a girl? Could she be his girlfriend?"
"They look about the same age, could she be his older sister?"
"Hey, stop guessing, just go up and ask."
Several girls surrounded Xia Yu as she stepped forward to greet Shen Zhuohang.
"Shen Zhuohang, what a coincidence, what are you doing here?"
Shen Zhuohang was trying his best to please his elderly mother when he was suddenly surrounded by people. He cautiously hid the people behind him and frowned.
"What are you doing? Do we know each other?"
The girls were in an uproar when they heard this.
"Huh? Shen Zhuohang, are you serious?"
"It's fine if you don't recognize us, but don't you even recognize Xia Yu, the prettiest girl in our electronics major?"
"Yeah, you're not faking it, are you? Xia Yu is the most beautiful girl in our school. Do you know how many boys like her and pursue her?"
The girls chattered away, but it didn't affect Shen Zhuohang's cold expression at all. He continued to frown.
"So what? So what if she's famous? Does that mean I have to know her? Sorry, I really don't know you guys. Move aside."
Shen Zhuohang bluntly rebuked the girls, and then, in front of them, he put his arm around Jiang Ruzhen and protected her as they walked forward.
Jiang Ruzhen stood on tiptoe and looked back over Shen Zhuohang's shoulder. She saw that the girl named Xia Yu had her face flushed red and large tears were falling down her cheeks.
What a beautiful young woman with tears streaming down her face.
She nudged Shen Zhuohang hard with her elbow, "What's wrong with you? That girl was just being nice and said hello to you, and you ignored her, but why did you have to talk back to her?"
Look how embarrassed they are!
"What does this have to do with me? I don't even know them! They just come up to me out of nowhere and start criticizing me. Who do they think they are?"
She's not my mom, why are you being so nosy...
Jiang Ruzhen rolled her eyes inwardly as she listened to her youngest son mutter these words.
That idiot! The girl's eyes were full of obvious admiration, but he couldn't see it.
Is this kid missing a screw in his brain?
With a straight-laced man like him, it's no wonder he'll never be able to find a wife.
However, her youngest son just turned 18 this year and there's no rush for him to get married, so she, as his mother, hasn't interfered much.
Just a moment ago she was furious, but after being distracted by those girls, Jiang Ruzhen was too lazy to argue with her stupid son.
She turned around and asked her youngest son what he wanted to eat, offering to treat him.
Shen Zhuohang immediately beamed and said, "Mom, I want to eat roast duck. Everyone says that the roast duck restaurants in Beijing are especially famous, but I've never been to one before!"
“Okay, let’s have roast duck then.” Jiang Ruzhen generously led Shen Zhuohang to have some meat.
But just as they sat down in the shop, the same group of young girls followed them in.
They were clearly there to follow Shen Zhuohang, but they pretended to be there for a meal. Jiang Ruzhen secretly rejoiced when she saw the girls glancing at her table.
It seems her fourth son is quite the heartthrob at school, with so many girls eyeing him.
