After Divorce: Why My Aloof Ex Starts Chasing Me?-Chapter 32: Must Come to See Me

Jiang Zhixun escaped.

He quickly turned and left the canteen before Shen Qingqing and Chen Shaojie noticed him.

He didn’t know what he was avoiding.

A voice deep within urged him to leave immediately.

Don’t meet with Shen Qingqing.

This resistance was completely different from his previous unwillingness to return to Beijing to see Shen Qingqing.

Feeling something amiss, Shen Qingqing looked up, only to see a fleeting figure.

Although his face wasn’t clear, and his clothing was no different from those around him, Shen Qingqing was sure it was Jiang Zhixun.

Seeing her frown, Chen Shaojie turned to look out the window.

He didn’t see the person he expected.

He comforted her, "Old Jiang will definitely come to the guesthouse to see you later."

With the return to the team tomorrow, if he doesn’t take the time to be with Miss Shen, there won’t be any opportunities left.

Chen Shaojie thought that a normal person wouldn’t leave his wife unattended.

If it wasn’t for the Lin Family incident, if Jiang Zhixun didn’t come to her, Shen Qingqing would be more than happy with the peace.

But now she decided to discuss the divorce details with Jiang Zhixun in advance.

His absence was delaying matters.

"Mr. Chen, could you do me a favor and pass a message?"

Chen Shaojie listened attentively, "Go ahead."

Shen Qingqing gripped her chopsticks tightly, enduring and repressing the urge to spill out the divorce matter.

"Tell him he must see me today, I have an urgent matter to discuss, otherwise... I’ll go directly to his superiors."

Whether he can transfer back to Beijing is his own problem.

If Jiang Zhixun doesn’t cooperate with her, she sees no reason to compromise anymore, nor any reason to consider his future.

The Northwest was his own choice, and he must be responsible for his decisions.

Were it not for the Jiang Family raising her for many years, even if Madam Jiang talked her mouth dry, she wouldn’t compromise.

If Madam Jiang sees her as ungrateful, then so be it.

For the past three years, Jiang Zhixun’s allowances to her were kept separately, untouched.

She intended to return them to Jiang Zhixun.

Once everything is settled, they shouldn’t have any further contact.

Shen Qingqing’s expression was serious, Chen Shaojie’s heart was in his throat.

This clearly wasn’t a minor issue!

He stammered, "Miss Shen, don’t take what happened just now to heart, Old Jiang not following is probably to avoid embarrassing the Lin couple."

Shen Qingqing nodded, "What’s between us doesn’t involve others, I came here to handle serious matters."

Chen Shaojie didn’t know what to say.

They all thought Miss Shen was visiting relatives, using the opportunity to ease relations with Old Jiang.

But now it seems the situation is not that simple.

Chen Shaojie dared not ask more.

As a comrade, he still wanted to speak a few good words for Jiang Zhixun.

"Old Jiang may seem a bit cold, but we can see he cares about you deeply. When female comrades pursued him, even before knowing about your marriage in Beijing, he never spoke a word to them."

"As for Lin Fengmian, she’s Lin’s younger sister, inevitable to encounter, but Old Jiang has made it clear to her."

"Old Jiang isn’t a confused person, Miss Shen, please don’t misunderstand. Whatever’s the matter, talk it out. It’s not easy for two people to reach the step of marriage."

Shen Qingqing repeated, "The problem between us is ours alone, unrelated to others. If there’s any misunderstanding with Comrade Lin, could you explain it to her for me?"

Chen Shaojie didn’t know what to do, only nodding.

"I’ll definitely make sure Old Jiang comes to see you."

"Thank you."

"It’s no problem at all, no need to be so polite."

Shen Qingqing glanced again out the window, this time truly seeing no sign of Jiang Zhixun.

She didn’t understand why Jiang Zhixun came to the canteen but didn’t come in.

Nor did she want to guess if Jiang Zhixun didn’t want to see her.

None of this mattered anymore.

Since deciding on divorce, Jiang Zhixun’s emotions were no longer within her scope of concern.

The atmosphere became heavy.

Fortunately, they were almost finished eating.

Shen Qingqing finished her mutton soup, feeling quite full, saved the remaining bun to take away.

Chen Shaojie escorted her back to the guesthouse, watching as she went upstairs before he turned to leave.

He first went by the communal building.

Cheng Jingliang hadn’t left yet, but Jiang Zhixun was not there.

"Where is he?"

"Didn’t he go to find Miss Shen? Didn’t you see him?"

Chen Shaojie shook his head.

Before he could say anything, he heard Lin Fengmian say, "Brother Chen, when you look for a partner, keep your eyes open and don’t choose someone who gets upset and walks off at the slightest provocation, or you’ll lose face too!"

"Lin Fengmian!"

Lin Zhidong warned sternly.

"I didn’t mention Shen Qingqing, so why are you guys so anxious? Isn’t this just... reading too much into it!"

Chen Shaojie considered that Lin Fengmian was a comrade’s sister and had always given her face, never speaking harshly to her.

But this time, it was hard to listen to.

"Living together is a matter for two people. If my wife gets upset, as long as I’m willing to appease her, it’s fine. Comrade Lin, stop worrying about things that don’t concern you."

Whenever it involved Shen Qingqing, no one sided with her.

Lin Fengmian felt wronged just thinking about it.

Noticing her brother’s dark face from the corner of her eye, she didn’t dare criticize Shen Qingqing anymore.

She simply asked Chen Shaojie, "Beijing is so far away, and the people there do things, speak, and eat differently from us. Are you really going for a blind date?"

"Yes,"

"Marriage requires mutual understanding for longevity." Lin Fengmian said bitterly.

Chen Shaojie faced it calmly, "Miss Shen is great. Anyone she approves of can’t be wrong. I’ll go to Beijing during the new year."

Lin Fengmian’s eyes reddened again.

Just now, in front of everyone, she proposed discussing a relationship with him.

It’s one thing to refuse; everyone took it as a joke, lightly brushing it off.

But he was actually going to meet someone Shen Qingqing introduced.

This was a slap to her face!

Just having Shen Qingqing in the picture was already upsetting enough. And now, another pampered girl from Beijing? How was she supposed to have any peace?

Overwhelmed with anger, Lin Fengmian’s body trembled.

"You’re all bullying me!"

After saying that, she ran back to her room, slamming the door so loud that Xiao Bao was startled into tears.

Zhou Xiaomei was also angry, "With that temper of hers, who’d dare talk relationship with her? No one’s stupid enough to look for trouble!"

Lin Fengmian shouted from inside the room, "That’s my temper. Why didn’t you say anything before? Do you think just because Shen Qingqing came from Beijing, you want to please her?"

Zhou Xiaomei was speechless.

She didn’t want to say anything more to her sister-in-law.

If it wasn’t for her being efficient at work, taking good care of the child, and having some merits, she would have sent her back home a long time ago.

She gave Lin Zhidong a sideways glance.

"I think you should stop worrying about her. She has her own opinions."

One moment she’s fond of Jiang Zhixun, the next she favors Chen Shaojie. free𝑤ebnovel.com

She likes only the best male comrades.

If she had some sense, she wouldn’t speak recklessly in public.

Perhaps there’d be a real chance with Chen Shaojie.

Now, who’d dare talk relationship with her?

Not to mention Chen Shaojie wouldn’t agree, no other male comrade in the building would dare talk to her either.

Lin Zhidong also had a headache.

Xiao Mian’s sharp tongue, she’d always had few opponents since childhood.

He thought she’d mellow as she grew older, but she only got worse.

He apologized to Chen Shaojie, "That’s just her temper, don’t take her words to heart."

Chen Shaojie wasn’t one to hold grudges.

"It’s all in the past, not a big deal. Miss Shen asked me to deliver a message, I need to find Old Jiang."

Cheng Jingliang quickly said, "I’ll go with you."
