After Divorce: Why My Aloof Ex Starts Chasing Me?
Chapter 139 Everything Turns Better

Chapter 139: Chapter 139 Everything Turns Better

The plane took off, soaring into the clouds.

Soon, it became just a speck, no larger than a bird, and finally, it disappeared altogether into the vast sky.

A pristine, cloudless expanse—leaving not a trace behind.

Jiang Zhixun stood there motionless, feeling as though the soul within him had been carried away by Shen Qingqing.

His heart was left utterly hollow.

His body was weak, directionless, adrift in a haze...

He didn’t know when Shen Qingqing would return.

Nor did he know if there was still a way forward for their relationship.

The resolute lines of his face were suffused with an expression of deep bewilderment.

He couldn’t go abroad to find Qingqing; the only thing he could do was send her money.

If she wouldn’t accept it, he would send it to her doctor.

Beyond that, there was nothing else he could do to help her.

A long time passed.

So long, in fact, that the sun rose, illuminating the entire city, before Jiang Zhixun finally left by car.

He returned to the place Shen Qingqing had been renting, utterly defeated, to find Madam Jiang still there.

She asked the same question once again, "Did you see Qingqing?"

"Yes."

He hadn’t stopped her or tried to prevent her from going abroad for treatment. It proved that he hadn’t completely lost his mind.

Madam Jiang let out a deep breath of relief.

"There’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you," she began hesitantly.

Jiang Zhixun, drained of energy, didn’t even have the strength to ask what she had been keeping from him.

Qingqing had amnesia. Such a major thing, and no one had informed him.

If Shi Yu hadn’t let it slip and revealed the truth, he might still be oblivious to the fact that Qingqing had completely forgotten him.

Forgotten him utterly and entirely!

Jiang Zhixun said nothing. He simply walked into Shen Qingqing’s room.

He carefully folded all her belongings and placed them in the closet, including the bedding, which he put away as well.

Qingqing wasn’t here, but he would keep these things safe.

She had picked them out herself; she must have liked them very much.

Moreover, she had always been a sentimental person; even her old textbooks were still well-preserved.

Among the things in this room, there might be one item she particularly cherished.

If it were lost, she would surely feel regret.

In the past, he wasn’t a good husband.

Starting now, he would learn.

Shen Qingqing had said she wanted to feel respected by the person who loved her. So that’s where he would begin!

Jiang Zhixun wiped his face, forcing himself to regain his composure.

As he continued tidying up the books she had left on the desk, he found a divorce certificate in the drawer.

She had taken all her other documents with her, leaving only this behind, which struck Jiang Zhixun as odd.

Odd, yet somehow comprehensible.

Perhaps Shen Qingqing wanted to sever ties with him completely. Anything associated with him, she didn’t want to take with her.

Madam Jiang stood at the doorway, watching her son as he busied himself.

It wasn’t until he picked up the divorce certificate that she cleared her throat and said, "Earlier, I had taken away your and Qingqing’s divorce certificate, hoping to reunite the two of you."

Jiang Zhixun froze.

He took several seconds to process her words before his face turned red with fury.

"A divorce is a divorce—what’s the point of hiding the certificate?!"

Madam Jiang stammered, "I... I just thought... since she didn’t know you two were divorced, maybe I could lie to her..."

She couldn’t finish her sentence.

Because, deep down, she knew this idea was shameful.

Jiang Zhixun was beyond livid. He had always considered himself Shen Qingqing’s rightful partner, unwilling to acknowledge their divorce. But that didn’t mean he wanted to deceive her into thinking their marriage was still intact.

What he had always wanted was to remarry her.

Not to erase the fact of their divorce!

No wonder Shen Qingqing had completely forgotten him—the good, the bad, all of it, erased without a trace.

Because everything important tied to him had been taken away!

Jiang Zhixun pressed his hand to his forehead; arguing now was meaningless.

"Mom, from now on, don’t interfere in matters between Qingqing and me."

Madam Jiang tried to defend herself, "What I did was wrong, but I just wanted to help you reconcile, to remarry as soon as possible. My good intentions backfired."

Jiang Zhixun didn’t respond. He continued packing all of Shen Qingqing’s books into boxes.

He was worried that while he was busy with work and unable to visit regularly, the books might gather dust, making them difficult to clean later.

Once he had tidied up the bedroom, he moved on to organize the living room and the kitchen.

Madam Jiang watched, her feelings conflicted.

"If you had treated her like this from the beginning, who knows how happy you and Qingqing might be now."

Jiang Zhixun felt a pang like a knife to his heart.

But it was the truth; he couldn’t refute it.

All he could do was console himself that it wasn’t too late to start now.

When Shen Qingqing returned to Beijing, she would see how he had changed.

By then, surely she would give him another chance, right?

Since Shen Qingqing’s departure, Jiang Zhixun’s life had suddenly lost all its flavor.

Even when they had rarely seen each other before, there was comfort in knowing where she was, a sense of peace in his heart.

Now, they were separated by an unfathomable distance.

He knew absolutely nothing about her life anymore...

Unable to see the person he longed for, Jiang Zhixun stayed at home for only a few days before heading to the Northwest.

Even though Shen Qingqing wasn’t there anymore, he still insisted on transferring back to Beijing.

He had to wait for Shen Qingqing’s return!

From her family, Yang Fen learned that Shen Qingqing had gone abroad.

She instantly regretted it so much that her insides churned with remorse.

It turned out, she didn’t need to do a thing—Shen Qingqing and Jiang Zhixun would have missed each other over and over again anyway.

Reporting Jiang Zhixun... it was like lifting a rock only to smash her own foot!

Now, she wanted to apply for a transfer back to Beijing, but her superiors refused to approve it.

They cited her work mistakes, her baseless accusations against Jiang Zhixun, which had caused a negative impact.

They also pointed out that she hadn’t been in the Northwest long enough to make significant contributions.

For all these reasons, her request was denied.

Yang Fen was already furious, and upon hearing that Shen Qingqing was abroad, she nearly choked on her own anger, coming close to spitting blood.

Why was her luck so terrible?!

Every step she took was into a pit!

Yang Fen considered exploiting family connections to get herself transferred back to Beijing.

But the incident with Jiang Zhixun had cast a shadow, meaning all her actions were being closely scrutinized.

This route was completely unfeasible!

While Yang Fen was consumed with frustration over her transfer, Jiang Zhixun smoothly returned to Beijing at the start of the new year.

Upon his return from the Northwest, the very first thing he did was help clean Shen Qingqing’s house.

He hadn’t canceled the lease on the unit across the hall either.

When Shen Qingqing came back from Britain, he still wanted to be her neighbor.

During Shen Qingqing’s first year away, everything remained normal.

Jiang Zhixun, now back in Beijing, occasionally managed to glimpse the letters she sent to the elders.

In those letters, she still didn’t mention him.

Not a single word.

But compared to his time in the Northwest, when he couldn’t see her letters or reach her by phone, this felt like an improvement.

Jiang Zhixun kept up with the latest developments in the medical field and, as he had hoped, came across news mentioning Shen Qingqing’s doctor.

Her condition was a complex issue requiring time to overcome.

While the patient’s privacy remained protected, knowing that everyone was doing their best to treat Shen Qingqing filled Jiang Zhixun with hope.

In the second year, Zhou Hansheng was sent to Britain for an exchange program.

Jiang Zhixun knew his real objective but was powerless against him.

He couldn’t travel abroad to find Shen Qingqing.

All he could do was silently pray, hoping Shen Qingqing wouldn’t be swayed by another man.

That same year, Shen Qingqing, while undergoing treatment, enrolled in a local school to improve her language skills.

Everything was taking a turn for the better.

In the third year, Shen Qingqing started dating Zhou Hansheng.

By the fourth year, they were planning to get married.
