After Divorce: Why My Aloof Ex Starts Chasing Me?
Chapter 120: Always a Family

Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Always a Family

Not wanting Zhou Hansheng to feel too smug, Jiang Zhixun walked over to Shen Qingqing’s side.

The handsome man and beautiful woman, one tall and one short.

Jiang Zhixun’s stance towards Shen Qingqing was that of a protector and possessor.

With a face of calmness, "If she goes, I’ll go; if she doesn’t go, neither will I."

Shen Qingqing was very annoyed with him.

The moment he came closer, that feeling of irritation shot up to the peak.

It was once again confirmed that her relationship with this person was very poor in the past.

Although she lost many memories, Shen Qingqing believed in her own intuition.

People who made her uncomfortable upon contact were rare; she could count them on one hand.

She went to support the old man’s arm, using the opportunity to avoid contact with Jiang Zhixun.

"Grandpa, are you treating us?"

The old man liked Shen Qingqing’s straight-talking nature and chuckled, "Grandpa’s treating, you can have anything you want as long as the restaurant supplies it."

After speaking, he added, "Doctor Xiao Zhou too, don’t be polite to this old man."

Zhou Hansheng: "Then I’ll shamelessly tag along for the meal."

Jiang Zhixun said sarcastically, "Since you’re shameless, don’t come."

The old man fake coughed, reminding him to not go overboard.

No one invited Jiang Zhixun, but he still followed them to the restaurant.

Madam Jiang, feeling sorry for her son who took the long train ride, bought him a roast duck.

She let Zhou Hansheng and Shen Qingqing order the rest of the dishes.

Zhou Hansheng was a guest, the old man said, "Don’t save money and tickets for me, I never had the chance to spend these things before when I didn’t go out, finally have the chance now."

Zhou Hansheng agreed with a smile but only ordered a bowl of noodles.

Shen Qingqing did the same.

Afraid they wouldn’t have enough to eat, the old man ordered some steamed buns and three stir-fried dishes, two meat and one vegetable.

The portions were large, enough for several people.

Madam Jiang always felt her son was too thin and wanted him to eat well, to nourish his body more.

So she added a fish.

This table was more lavish than many family’s New Year’s dinners.

The old man was usually very frugal but didn’t ask others to be like him.

No spoiling the mood, "Eat up."

At the square table, Shen Qingqing sat next to the old man, Jiang Zhixun sat at the side, in the position next to her.

Zhou Hansheng sat opposite Shen Qingqing.

Madam Jiang sat opposite Jiang Zhixun.

Jiang Zhixun picked a roasted duck leg and placed it in Shen Qingqing’s bowl, "Eat it while it’s hot."

Shen Qingqing instinctively wanted to refuse.

Jiang Zhixun intentionally moved his arm, "Suddenly my wound feels a bit painful, Miss Shen, shouldn’t you take care of the patient?"

This man repeatedly reminded her of what recently happened, Shen Qingqing felt depressed.

The Jiang family’s elders were quite nice, how did they raise such a rascal?

With a half-smile, she said, "I think you’re doing quite well, that cut was rather light."

Zhou Hansheng cooperatively placed a few pieces of roasted duck in Jiang Zhixun’s bowl, "Your mother specially ordered it for you, you should eat more of it and not disappoint the elders’ intentions."

Having a rival serving him dishes, Jiang Zhixun felt extremely disgusted.

Looking as if he had swallowed a fly.

Zhou Hansheng: "Mr. Jiang, are you not displeased with me, right? My chopsticks weren’t used, they didn’t get any saliva."

The more he spoke, the more nauseated Jiang Zhixun felt.

Yet in front of Shen Qingqing, he didn’t want to be the bitter villain.

He wouldn’t let Zhou Hansheng have it easy.

Jiang Zhixun stabbed him in the heart, "When did Doctor Zhou meet Qingqing? I hadn’t heard her mention you before."

Zhou Hansheng’s mouth twitched, "It’s fine, as long as you don’t forget me in the future."

Jiang Zhixun: "Aren’t you afraid your partner might get jealous?"

Zhou Hansheng: "I don’t have a partner."

Looking at Shen Qingqing, his eyes were full of smile, "But I have a girl I like, as long as she nods, we can start dating immediately, even get married."

He said it so plainly, looking directly at Shen Qingqing.

The meaning was already very clear.

Shen Qingqing felt a bit shy, lowered her head, not daring to look at others’ expressions.

She could only use eating to cover her embarrassment.

Instinctively picked up the roasted duck leg and put it in her mouth.

She lowered her head, but her earlobes were burning red, her cheeks were also flushed, white with rosy hues, not much different from peach blossoms in spring.

In a different setting, Jiang Zhixun would find it very pretty.

But now, someone was flirting with his wife right in front of him.

This was as if he was invisible!

Jiang Zhixun relaxed his body, no longer sat upright, but was even more aggressive.

"The girl hasn’t agreed to you yet. Could it be she doesn’t like Doctor Zhou?"

Zhou Hansheng’s smile faded slightly, "Where there’s a will, there’s a way."

Jiang Zhixun: "Indeed, with times improved, shameless rascal actions can be spoken of as so inspirational."

Zhou Hansheng felt a moment of embarrassment.

Realizing Jiang Zhixun was doing it intentionally, wanting him to lose his temper and make a fool of himself in front of Miss Shen.

Then quickly calmed down his emotions.

"Mr. Jiang, you probably have many people chasing you in the Northwest, right? Our hospital has a nurse applying to transfer to the Northwest, seemingly for her childhood companion..."

Zhou Hansheng teased, "Right, she and that childhood companion both live in the compound, could the male lead be you, Mr. Jiang? Nurse Yang traveled afar to the Northwest for love, it’s widely spread in the hospital, many are touched by your love story."

Jiang Zhixun squinted his eyes, emitting a sharp aura.

This person investigated him.

Looks like he won’t give up if he doesn’t win Shen Qingqing.

With a slight curl of his lips, it was a cold arc.

Jiang Zhixun: "Did Doctor Zhou not verify facts before spreading information?"

Zhou Hansheng hesitated, "Everyone says so."

Jiang Zhixun: "Otherwise, where do rumors come from?"

His side-eye fell on Shen Qingqing, "First, Yang Fen’s going to the Northwest has nothing to do with me; second, I am not her childhood companion, nor is there a love story; lastly, the only one in my heart is Shen Qingqing. I hope Doctor Zhou doesn’t spread rumors that affect my relationship with Qingqing."

This statement was like a streak of lightning.

Shen Qingqing felt dizzy, almost dropping her chopsticks.

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Zhixun was lacking confidence, "The apparent meaning!"

Shen Qingqing then looked at Madam Jiang and the old man.

There were outsiders present, the matter wasn’t easy to explain...

The old man was carefully choosing words, wanting to explain to Shen Qingqing.

But Madam Jiang didn’t want to discuss this in front of outsiders.

Interrupted, "After the meal, we’ll discuss it when we return home."

She reassured Shen Qingqing, "No matter what, Zhixun and you will always be family, he won’t harm you."

This wasn’t the answer Shen Qingqing wanted.

Glanced at Jiang Zhixun, didn’t say more.

Just secretly decided that if they really had any relationship, it might be better to completely sever it with this opportunity.

After all, the impression this person gave her wasn’t good.

She’s not a teenage girl who only acts based on looks.

This person’s demeanor is cold, words are unpleasant.

Definitely not the type she likes!

Shen Qingqing also didn’t want to talk about her personal matters in front of others, continued eating as if nothing had happened.

Among this group at the table, she appeared the calmest.

Madam Jiang thought to herself, people who lost their memories are really heartless.

The things from the past, whether happy or sad, she forgot completely.

Now she’s moving forward while poor Zhixun still doesn’t know what to do...
