After Divorce: Why My Aloof Ex Starts Chasing Me?-Chapter 89 He Won’t Let You Go
Chapter 89: Chapter 89 He Won’t Let You Go
Shen Qingqing couldn’t make dumplings with one hand, so she could only sit by and watch.
She was the one who introduced this match, so she had the responsibility to help Shi Yu find out about the Chen Family’s situation.
"Mr. Chen, I only knew before that you’re a local in the Northwest, living not far from the base, but that’s all I knew, so I didn’t tell Shi Yu more."
Chen Shaojie was quite understanding.
He explained his family situation in detail.
"My family is in the countryside, my parents are farmers, and there’s me, an older sister, and a younger sister. My older sister teaches elementary school in the rural area and is already married, while my younger sister finished middle school and is now a saleswoman at the supply and marketing cooperative of the production team."
Although the Chen Family is a rural family, they don’t prefer sons over daughters.
For the three children, as long as they wanted to study, the family would support them no matter how hard it was.
Chen Shaojie was promising, and his sisters also had respectable jobs.
In the production team, their family’s reputation was quite notable, they were considered an outstanding household. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Chen Shaojie felt a bit embarrassed.
People often said he was a pilot, which was impressive.
But Miss Shi was even more remarkable.
She was a translator, a respected intellectual.
She earned a high salary and had a Beijing household registration.
Currently, she was just angered by her family, which made her think about marriage and leaving Beijing.
If she went to the Northwest and saw the living conditions there, would she regret her decision today?
Chen Shaojie didn’t think Shi Yu was the type to favor the rich and despise the poor.
He was just worried that someday in the future, Shi Yu might regret today’s decision.
The more he thought about it, the more anxious Chen Shaojie became.
"Miss Shi, you might want to consider it again, the conditions in the Northwest are pretty tough. I’ll still be in Beijing for a while, you can take your time to think it over."
Shi Yu liked straightforward people, and she had an even better impression of Chen Shaojie.
She teased, "Are you regretting it, intentionally saying this so that I back off?"
"No regrets."
Chen Shaojie responded quickly, "Others are doing everything they can to come to Beijing, but I’m just worried you’ll be wronged. If you really go, it might be hard to come back later."
Shi Yu wanted to say that no matter how difficult the Northwest was, as long as he treated her well and they faced challenges together, she wouldn’t feel wronged.
But she was afraid of scaring Chen Shaojie with her bluntness.
She snorted, "Isn’t there someone else going to the Northwest too? Having one more person wouldn’t make a difference."
Realizing she mentioned someone she shouldn’t have, Shi Yu wanted to slap herself.
She furrowed her brow in annoyance, refraining from complaining about Jiang Zhixun.
Chen Shaojie and Jiang Zhixun were comrades, with a special bond, and still wanted to say a few good words for him.
"Old Jiang’s flying skills are top-notch, and his contributions in the Northwest are immense. He hasn’t come back for three years, it’s not just about escaping reality."
After speaking, he instinctively looked at Shen Qingqing’s expression.
Her face still held a faint smile, not much different from before.
Hearing the name Jiang Zhixun, she didn’t immediately change her expression.
Chen Shaojie was a bit puzzled.
Does Miss Shen still have feelings for Old Jiang?
Previously, when she saw Old Jiang at the park entrance, she was so angry.
How come after a few hours, she doesn’t even frown at hearing Jiang Zhixun’s name?
Chen Shaojie always thought he was observant.
But when it came to matters of the heart between men and women, he suddenly found he wasn’t that knowledgeable.
Just like now, he truly couldn’t understand what Miss Shen was thinking.
How could she manage to have no emotional fluctuations whatsoever?
Shi Yu was also curious.
But she was afraid asking too much would make Shen Qingqing sad.
From her understanding of Shen Qingqing, if she wasn’t genuinely fond of Jiang Zhixun, she wouldn’t have wasted so many years with him.
It’s a pity Jiang Zhixun didn’t seize the opportunity.
Shen Qingqing took out the roast duck, then grabbed a plate, calmly arranging it.
Noticing their gaze, she directly asked, "Why are you looking at me?"
Chen Shaojie initially wanted to speak well of Jiang Zhixun, but facing such a Shen Qingqing, he dared not utter a good word.
Miss Shen had kindly helped introduce him to a partner and cooked to entertain them.
If he kept saying things Miss Shen didn’t want to hear, that would be incredibly inconsiderate.
He managed to say dryly, "I’ll go ahead and prepare the fish, which basin should I use?"
The dumplings weren’t finished yet, and Chen Shaojie planned to first prepare the fish, stew it, and then continue making dumplings.
This way, it would save quite a bit of time.
Shen Qingqing pointed to the enamel basin for washing vegetables, "Just use that one."
After finding out where the water room was, Chen Shaojie took the items and left.
Walking far away, he silently apologized to Jiang Zhixun.
It wasn’t that he wasn’t loyal; rather, he couldn’t find the opportunity to say anything nice for him.
Chen Shaojie was considered a witness to how Jiang Zhixun treated Shen Qingqing.
That day in the cafeteria, he didn’t want to be alone with Miss Shen, acting so annoying.
What’s more, now he can only pitifully wait for Miss Shen to reconcile and remarry him.
"Serves him right!"
Even as comrades, Chen Shaojie couldn’t help but curse once.
If he hadn’t been so troublesome back then, now Old Jiang and Miss Shen’s kid could be running errands!
When women are together, they talk more casually.
Shi Yu asked Shen Qingqing, "What are your plans for the future? I noticed that Mr. Jiang isn’t someone who easily backs down. If he has feelings for you, he’ll certainly try every means to reconcile and remarry with you."
If Jiang Zhixun didn’t have that intention, his mother surely would avoid such connections, not showing up here, and would make Qingqing move back to the compound.
Shi Yu didn’t know before that Shen Qingqing’s in-laws were the kind of people who lived in the compound.
Now that she knew, her impression of Jiang Zhixun didn’t change.
That guy was always bullying others, clearly married but just walked away.
Now he’s become fond of Qingqing and wants to hold on tightly.
He wants everything good, he’s really something!
Shi Yu had this strange intuition, "Is he doing it on purpose, letting you lower your guard first before suddenly coming back for you?"
Maybe having Qingqing live back at the compound is to prevent male pursuers, specifically letting older folks guard for him...
Thinking this way, Shi Yu found Jiang Zhixun quite nasty.
He didn’t treasure her himself and wouldn’t let anyone else bring happiness to Shen Qingqing; this was too domineering!
Shen Qingqing didn’t know what Jiang Zhixun wanted to do and couldn’t control his actions.
The only thing she could do was manage herself.
"Whether he’s doing it on purpose or not, as long as he doesn’t come to provoke me, it’s fine."
Shi Yu gave her a sympathetic look, "I think he won’t give up on you."
Shen Qingqing chuckled in exasperation, "This is a society governed by law. If I don’t agree, can he forcibly take me to the civil affairs bureau?"
"That’s true."
Shi Yu continued making dumplings, saying carelessly, "Otherwise, while he’s away, why not remarry right away, get the marriage certificate first, and by the time he’s back from the Northwest, it’ll be too late. Our editor’s son, the one who’s a doctor, doesn’t he like you? Now both of you are single, he can take care of you, how nice."
Shen Qingqing’s mouth twitched, "Don’t come up with such silly ideas."
Having just finished handling the fish, Chen Shaojie paused at the entrance.
He inwardly shouted, it’s over, Miss Shen is going to be taken away.
Old Jiang has just taken a long vacation; next time he comes back, it might take another year.
Hopefully, Miss Shen doesn’t really remarry...
