Wu Xiaomin calmed down and said, "I was called here by these sisters-in-law. I don't even know what happened."
Yu Xiangnian smiled slightly, "Then let me tell everyone."
She faced the crowd and raised her voice, "Let me explain this to everyone. Cheng Jingmo married me voluntarily, and my parents never forced him!"
"How do you prove that he married you voluntarily?" someone in the crowd immediately shouted.
Yu Xiangnian had naturally already thought about how to answer, but before he could open his mouth, a deep voice beat him to it.
"Let me tell you!" Cheng Jingmo squeezed in from outside the crowd.
He actually resented having such personal matters aired in front of everyone.
But he didn't want to see Yu Xiangnian being chased by everyone. One sentence from him was worth more than ten explanations from Xiangnian.
Now that the three parties involved are surrounded inside, everyone is even more anxious to face the truth that is about to be revealed.
The blood on Wu Xiaomin's face was slowly fading away. Her palms were full of sweat and she was clutching her trouser legs tightly.
Cheng Jingmo faced everyone and said, "I married Yu Xiangnian voluntarily, and no one forced me to do so."
Someone immediately asked: "What about you and Comrade Wu?"
Cheng Jingmo's voice was not loud, but he spoke loudly, "Comrade Wu and I know each other on a blind date. We did have contact a few times, but it was just a relationship between comrades. We have never been in a relationship, let alone talking about marriage."
"After I have made it clear today, please stop discussing these things in the future. It will damage my family relationship and our reputation."
This was what Cheng Jingmo was saying. He just wanted to live a good life with Yu Xiangnian. He really didn't want those rumors to ruin their relationship.
Wu Xiaomin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She was originally worried that Cheng Jingmo would reveal the reason why the two of them did not develop, but fortunately Cheng Jingmo's words only touched on the point.
Yu Xiangnian will not let her go!
Before Wu Xiaomin's heart settled down, Li Guihua squeezed out from the crowd and asked her: "Doctor Wu, I remember you told me personally that you and Deputy Commander Cheng are getting married. He was forced to I married Comrade Yu! Why is Deputy Commander Cheng’s statement different from yours?”
Wu Xiaomin: "..."
She seems to have never met this person, how could he say these things to her?
Li Guihua took the lead, and now several family members actually stood up and asked, "That's right! Doctor Wu, this is what you told us, why is it like this again?"
These family members clearly stood firmly on Dr. Wu's side. Now that they were severely slapped in the face, they naturally wanted to question Dr. Wu.
Facing the gazes of so many people, Wu Xiaomin hesitated, "I...I never said that..."
"That's what you said!" A family member pointed at her and shouted, "I remember clearly that day when I was getting an injection at the health center and chatting with you, that's what you said!"
Several other family members also echoed: "We also remember that you told us personally that you and Deputy Commander Cheng were getting married, but Comrade Yu's father forced him to marry Comrade Yu!"
"Aren't you slandering people?! And you want us to spread rumors too!"
"Even if you like Deputy Captain Cheng, you can't arrange it in such a random way!"
"I think you don't want this couple to live a good life and want to break them up!"
"······"
Wu Xiaomin was scolded by the crowd, her face turned pale, and the faces in front of her began to become blurry.
The corners of Yu Xiangnian's mouth curved even more!
Naturally, Li Guihua had not heard Wu Xiaomin say this with her own ears. She had arranged this in advance so that the family members who had heard it with their own ears would stand up and correct Wu Xiaomin's rumors.
Yu Xiangnian saw that the atmosphere was almost created, but she was the one adding insult to injury...
Uh... No, it's time for her to show off her integrity!
She cleared her throat and said, "Sisters-in-law, calm down! Listen to what I have to say!"
She said calmly: "I think Dr. Wu might have liked my husband so much that she had the illusion of talking about marriage with my husband! She might just have the fantasy of letting Cheng Jingmo divorce me and marry her again. That’s what he said.”
"Now that this matter has been made clear, everyone should not mention it again in the future. Dr. Wu works in a health center, how can she have the face to face everyone."
A family member yelled at Wu Xiaomin, "How shameless!"
Some family members said angrily: "You are still an educated youth! By spreading rumors like this, you have learned all your knowledge in vain!"
Feng Aiqin saw her niece being scolded like this, and she wished she could find a hole to burrow into!
She grabbed Wu Xiaomin who was in a daze, dragged her away from the crowd, and dragged her back home.
"Aren't you embarrassed?!" Feng Aiqin poked Wu Xiaomin's forehead hard several times, "There are so many men, why do you have to stare at a married person? Just tell me, you should look at the target of spreading rumors! How can you even The Commander-in-Chief is included?!"
Wu Xiaomin finally woke up from her trance, tears flowed out all of a sudden, she covered her face and started crying!
Yu Xiangnian saw that Wu Xiaomin had left and the scene should be over. She pulled the hem of Cheng Jingmo's clothes and motioned for him to go home.
All the parties involved had left, leaving only the spectators still talking about it.
Yu Xiangnian was surprised and more surprised that Cheng Jingmo stood up and spoke tonight.
This shows that Cheng Jingmo is willing to protect her!
As soon as I got home, it started raining heavily.
After a while, the power went out, and the family's courtyard was dark.
Yu Xiangnian lit a kerosene lamp and took a bath. The raindrops pattered on the roof, which made her feel uneasy.
Next to my ears was Cheng Jingmo's voice. He said that he and Wu Xiaomin had never had sex, they were just gay!
The bath took so long that Cheng Jingmo thought something had happened to her in there, so he knocked on the door and called her, and she came back to her senses.
I went back to the bedroom, sat on the edge of the bed to dry my hair, and started to stay in a daze.
In the past, she had to work at this time, but today there was no electricity, and writing and reading were too taxing on her eyes, so she just sat there like that.
Cheng Jingmo took a shower and washed his clothes and returned to the main room. When he saw people sitting in the bedroom, he walked to the door and knocked on the door, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Yu Xiangnian tilted his head.
The light of the kerosene lamp was too dim, and neither of them could see the hidden emotions in each other's eyes.
Yu Xiangnian hesitated for a minute, then stood up and walked to Cheng Jingmo, raised his face and asked, "Cheng Jingmo, you said you and Wu Xiaomin have never had sex?"
Cheng Jingmo was stunned for a moment and lowered his eyes, "Well, I've never had sex before."
Yu Xiangnian asked again: "Then do you like her?"
Cheng Jingmo opened and closed his thin lips, "I don't like it."
The orange light fell on Cheng Jingmo, softening the coldness around him.
Yu Xiangnian looked at the face so close that he could see the scalp, a broad forehead, thick eyebrows, a straight bridge of nose, and thin lips.
She could even smell Cheng Jingmo's unique scent.
The people's hearts swayed by the swaying light also swayed, and both of them remained silent.
Yu Xiangnian seemed to be awake, but asked in a daze: "Cheng Jingmo, can I kiss you?"
