Chapter 257 Is the pretty older sister the future mother-in-law?
Before Xia Yu could explain, the other friends couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up one after another.
"Shen Zhuohang, what's wrong with you? We're here to help you."
"You did go out to dinner with your partner, what's wrong with admitting that?"
"You and that pretty woman are arm in arm, all intimate. What else could it be but a romantic relationship?"
“We all saw it on the spot, and we came here specifically to testify for you. Don’t be ungrateful.”
"Although we think you and Xia Yu are a perfect match, you have already found your love, and we will not stick to you."
"But your attitude is really strange right now. So what if you have a boyfriend? Why are you hiding it? You don't mean you don't want to take responsibility for that pretty lady, do you?"
"Shen Zhuohang, don't force us to look down on you..."
"......"
What are these chattering women talking about?
The more Shen Zhuohang listened to them, the more confused he became. "What nonsense are you talking about? I've been on vacation these past two days and have been with my mom. I don't have any boyfriends."
Are you all still half asleep, daydreaming here?
ah?
As soon as Shen Zhuohang spoke, everyone fell silent, especially Xia Yu, who was so shocked that she was speechless.
"You're saying that beautiful woman you're with is your mother? Shen Zhuohang, are you kidding me? That girl looks no more than twenty-five years old."
"My mom just looks young; she's already over forty. You people make judgments about others without even knowing the facts, and you call her a top student in our school's electronics major?"
"You're probably just the gossipy aunties from under the big tree at the village entrance, aren't you? Making wild guesses and spreading rumors without any evidence—do you even deserve your military uniforms?"
Shen Zhuohang was really angry. He liked it when people said his mother was young, but he absolutely couldn't stand it when people said his mother was his girlfriend.
Having heard this, Lu Mingzheng had a general idea of what had happened.
It was nothing more than a few young girls seeing Shen Zhuohang and Jiang Ruzhen together and making wild guesses in their minds.
He thought that Jiang Ruzhen's appearance was indeed very deceptive, and the same was true when the two stood together. Many people thought that he was an old cow eating young grass.
He often teases young women in their early twenties, but he often has unspeakable grievances.
However, when he thought of how bright and radiant Jiang Ruzhen was when she was with him, he couldn't help but smile.
"Alright, alright, you've all misunderstood. I've met Shen Zhuohang's mother, and she is indeed very young and beautiful, which can easily lead to misunderstandings."
Your intentions in speaking up for your comrades are good, but in the future you must make sure you know the facts before you act, and don't just listen to rumors and make wild guesses.
"It's alright, everyone go back! Shen Zhuohang, your classmates meant well, don't be angry anymore, take them with you."
Although Shen Zhuohang was angry when he heard Uncle Lu's instructions, he still acted up.
He rushed out the door first, and when he saw the girls still standing there dumbfounded, he said angrily.
"What are you still thinking about? Hurry up and leave."
"Oh..." Xia Yu was the first to react and hurriedly followed.
It was quite a while after they walked away that she remembered to apologize to Shen Zhuohang in a low voice.
"I'm sorry, Shen Zhuohang, we didn't know your mother was so young, that's why we made wild guesses about your relationship."
"I'm so sorry, could you please also apologize to the auntie for me?"
After Shen Zhuohang went out, the wind blew him away and his pent-up anger dissipated. Thinking about it carefully, his damn good looks could indeed easily cause misunderstandings.
"Never mind, you didn't do it on purpose. And I thank you for your kindness in coming to vouch for me."
"Then you won't be punished by the commander, right?" Xia Yu asked cautiously.
"The commander just asked me some questions, why am I being punished?" Shen Zhuohang looked completely bewildered.
"Huh? The commander just wanted to ask you something. How come everyone in your dorm is saying you went out to fight during your leave, and the commander found out and is going to punish you?"
Xia Yu was also stunned at this moment. This rumor was too outrageous!
"Hey, why are all these grown men so gossipy? I'll teach them a lesson when I get back. So you all came to speak up for me because you heard a rumor."
I'm sorry, I misunderstood you earlier. Thank you so much.
With the misunderstanding cleared up, Shen Zhuohang was in a great mood. He turned around, smiled at Xia Yu and the other girls to express his gratitude, then waved goodbye and left.
Several girls were stunned by Shen Zhuohang's smile. They stared wide-eyed and stood there for a long time, unwilling to leave.
"Oh my god, Shen Zhuohang just laughed."
"He looks even better when he smiles, even better than those foreign male celebrities."
"I've decided I don't like Principal Tan anymore, I'm going to like Shen Zhuohang instead. He's so handsome, my heart is pounding."
"Look at how worthless you are, even Xia Yu didn't say anything."
"Xia Yu, Xia Yu, what's wrong?"
After chattering for a while, everyone realized that Xia Yu wasn't making a sound, so they all went up and nudged her.
Xia Yu was still lost in thought, unable to come back to her senses, and she held her flushed face shyly.
"Did you see that? Shen Zhuohang smiled at me just now. Is he starting to like me?"
The girls looked at each other, then chuckled softly.
Their electronic beauty was completely captivated, utterly mesmerized by Shen Zhuohang.
"Yes, yes, he must have feelings for you. It was worth risking punishment to come and speak up for him."
"Huh? But speaking of which, didn't any of you notice that the commander and Shen Zhuohang seemed quite familiar with each other just now? Otherwise, how would the commander know what Shen Zhuohang's mother looks like?"
"You're right, how come I didn't think of that?"
Soon, people shifted their focus from Shen Zhuohang's punishment to speculating about his relationship with the leader.
As for Jiang Ruzhen, she was completely unaware that her appearance almost turned the male and female dormitories of the flight school upside down.
She arrived at the Lu family's house next door with her bag, and Lu Chuyao entertained her in the third courtyard.
"Xiao Jiang, you're back? I've missed you so much these past few days."
Lu Chuyao got up and pulled Jiang Ruzhen to sit down together affectionately. Lu Xingchen brewed a pot of tea for the two of them and sat down as well, listening with a smile.
Jiang Ruzhen said apologetically, "Aunt Lu, I'm so sorry. My youngest son came home to visit, and I spent a few days with him. The clothes I designed for you will probably be a few days late."
"It's alright. You stay with your youngest son... Wait, you have a son now?" Lu Chuyao was shocked.
