The beautiful scene before him stirred a burning passion in He Chaoyang's heart.
In particular, Chen Shuning's adorable expression, which seemed both angry and coquettish, along with her melodious voice, made He Chaoyang's heart flutter, and he wished he could immediately hold this petite and lovely girl tightly in his arms.
However, in public, he still had to be mindful of his behavior. So, suppressing his inner impulse, He Chaoyang couldn't help but tease his wife, "If I don't hold you tight, am I supposed to hold her instead?"
Before he finished speaking, He Chaoyang did not let go of Chen Shuning. Instead, he turned around with his wife in his arms so that Chen Shuning could clearly see Shen Hongmei, who was lying on the ground picking up items.
Then he deliberately leaned close to Chen Shuning's ear and said, "That woman suddenly lunged at me. If I didn't dodge, did you want me to hug her?"
Looking at Shen Hongmei on the ground, and recalling He Chaoyang's actions and words just now, Chen Shuning immediately understood.
She simply couldn't understand what kind of family could raise a woman like Shen Hongmei, who was shameless and loved to seduce other women's husbands, in this relatively conservative era.
Especially when she discovered that the woman was trying to seduce her own husband, anger instantly overwhelmed Chen Shuning's fear, and she jumped off He Chaoyang without hesitation and walked towards Shen Hongmei.
She angrily questioned, "Shen Hongmei, how can you be so despicable? Are your eyes only good at seeing what others have? All you do is scheme to steal other people's things?"
Chen Shuning was genuinely furious. She knew Shen Hongmei's character well from the original owner's memories, although she didn't feel anything about Shen Hongmei stealing Zhou Weiguo, whom the original owner liked.
But when she learned that this woman now had designs on her man, Chen Shuning couldn't suppress her anger.
Moreover, she was truly fed up with this person's behavior, as if she couldn't understand anything, constantly using the excuse of wanting to make up with her to hang around in front of her. She wanted to take advantage of this incident to completely break ties with her, and her words were utterly merciless.
Chen Shuning was surprised that even after he said all that, Shen Hongmei could still keep up the act.
Sitting on the ground, Shen Hongmei still spoke in her delicate and pitiful voice, "No, Shuning, it's not what you think. I really didn't mean to. I just lost my balance and blocked your way. I'm so sorry. I'll get ready right away. I'm so sorry."
At this moment, Shen Hongmei sat pitifully on the ground, like a delicate flower battered by wind and rain.
A few glistening teardrops still clung to her fair and delicate cheeks, making her appear even more endearing.
Her words evoked pity in many.
Many people present thought Chen Shuning was some kind of local bully who had bullied her, and they pointed at Chen Shuning indignantly.
"Comrade, it's already pitiful enough that she fell down. Besides, I don't think this woman touched you. It's not appropriate for you to be so aggressive."
"Exactly, this road isn't yours. It's such a wide road, you could just take a detour! Why are you blaming the person who fell?"
"Exactly, judging by her appearance, she's a military family member? She's really disgracing her husband. How can someone like that be worthy of the People's Liberation Army?"
Hearing the whispers around her, Shen Hongmei was secretly delighted, but she didn't show it on the surface.
Pretending to be oblivious to the items scattered on the ground, she slowly stood up, bowed deeply to the men who had spoken up for her, and expressed her gratitude: "Thank you all for speaking up for me, but things are not as you imagine."
Actually, there was a small misunderstanding between me and Shuning, it's not what everyone thinks. Actually, we just... we just...
Shen Hongmei deliberately pretended to be extremely anxious, wanting to explain but speaking incoherently, which made the people around her increasingly misunderstand that she was being bullied by Chen Shuning and that she was in such a sorry state because of her inner fear.
Seeing his wife being unjustly accused, He Chaoyang's face instantly darkened. His sharp gaze swept over the passersby who were making unwarranted comments without understanding the situation, startling them into taking a step back.
Immediately afterwards, He Chaoyang said in a cold and piercing voice: "It is not up to you bystanders to make up the truth!"
"If anyone dares to slander my wife's reputation again, don't blame me for being ruthless!" His tone was firm and authoritative, carrying an undeniable power that inspired awe in everyone.
He Chaoyang was tall and imposing, with a powerful aura that commanded respect.
His sharp eyes, like those of a hawk, coldly swept over the passersby who made hasty judgments about others without knowing the facts.
Feeling his gaze, the crowd felt a chill and retreated.
Seeing this, He Chaoyang's face showed a hint of satisfaction that was barely perceptible, but it vanished in an instant.
He slowly turned his head and looked at Shen Hongmei. His eyes grew colder and his voice was low and serious as he said, "Comrade, I am not aware of the specifics of the 'misunderstanding' between you and my wife that you mentioned."
However, I witnessed the entire event firsthand today.
At this point, He Chaoyang straightened his body, his chest rising and falling slightly, and an aura of authority arose spontaneously.
Then, he solemnly introduced himself: "I am He Chaoyang, deputy commander of the 358th Independent Regiment of the Heilongjiang Military Region!"
