After Divorce: Why My Aloof Ex Starts Chasing Me?
Chapter 142 Rebirth

Chapter 142: Chapter 142 Rebirth

Jiang Zhixun is inherently domineering and somewhat chauvinistic.

Asking him to take Shen Qingqing’s money would make him feel like a scoundrel.

Only Shen Qingqing can use his money, definitely not the other way around!

Now knowing that the money he sent out was used by Shen Qingqing, he felt a secret thrill.

Using his money, although it didn’t mean much, gave him a great sense of satisfaction.

He wanted to take out all the money from the bankbook and give it to Qingqing.

Let her spend it...

This kind of satisfaction, Jiang Zhixun experienced for the first time, suddenly feeling that everything had a sense of purpose.

"What money are you talking about?"

Madam Jiang came back from outside, carrying a basket filled with eggs, meat, and other ingredients.

Waiting at home for Shen Qingqing this morning, she couldn’t go shopping herself, so she asked the neighbors in the compound to help bring them.

To ensure that Shen Qingqing ate well, the ingredients were plentifully prepared.

There were three kinds of meat.

Pork, beef, and a fish.

Shen Qingqing didn’t hesitate and replied with a smile, "When I was abroad, Brother Zhixun supported me. Now that I have a job, I will repay him once I receive my salary."

Madam Jiang was aware of this matter.

Spending money was not an issue, the fear was that Qingqing might really marry Zhou Hansheng.

By then, Zhixun could be heartbroken.

Madam Jiang had a belly full of words and most wanted to ask about Shen Qingqing and Zhou Hansheng’s romantic situation.

And recently, when she suddenly went silent, was she in trouble abroad?

There were many questions she wanted to ask, but it wasn’t the right time to ask them now.

At least let her eat, fill her stomach, and then inquire about her situation with Zhou Hansheng.

Otherwise, if a word was misstated and Qingqing lost her appetite, Zhixun would also be upset, and everyone would eat poorly.

Madam Jiang gave a playful glance at Shen Qingqing and teased, "He’s a bachelor, either stationed or growing mushrooms at home. He doesn’t even go out for movies, so where does he have the chance to spend money? You help him spend money and lighten his burden, no need to repay."

She added, "We’re family. If you distinguish too clearly, it means you’re treating us as outsiders!"

Shen Qingqing was calm and didn’t find this an embarrassing topic.

Some things, the more they are hidden and beautified, the likelier they are to set the stage for hidden troubles.

Who knows when it might become the fuse for a conflict.

It’s better to be honest.

Everyone gets along more easily.

Shen Qingqing took out a bill from her bag, meticulously recording every cent the Jiang Family had given her over the years.

Many people would think this is a sign of estrangement.

But she believes that the better the relationship, the clearer these things should be accounted for.

Don’t muddle through, so the relationship can last long.

She placed the bill on the coffee table, "It has to be repaid. Once I get my salary, I’ll pay a bit each month, starting with Brother Zhixun, then Grandfather."

Grandfather came back from outside and heard her words.

He laughed heartily, "Alright, my granddaughter has done well. She’s young and can already teach college students. When people hear about it, they’ll be envious to death. By then, I can take my old friends to a restaurant, and there’s been a tremendous development in Beijing over the years, with lots of new delicacies!"

Madam Jiang sighed, "You’re taking the child’s money too."

They never thought of asking back the money they spent on Shen Qingqing.

If they really accepted it, how awkward would that be?

Isn’t that estrangement?

Grandfather sat in the main seat, "Didn’t you hear Qingqing say, she’ll give it in parts? As long as her life isn’t affected, why wouldn’t I accept it? It’s my granddaughter’s thoughtful gesture. I spend happily, and she earns with more enthusiasm."

Madam Jiang’s mouth twitched, "In another family, you’d be considered a vampire, inconsiderate of the younger generation."

Grandfather glared, "What vampire, how is it the same?"

Madam Jiang didn’t say more and went to the kitchen to cook.

Shen Qingqing’s position in the Jiang family was a bit awkward, being a guest, yet not a guest.

She couldn’t just sit and wait for the meal, "Let me help."

Grandfather wanted to chat with her for a while, but seeing Jiang Zhixun, who was like a statue, he decided not to keep her.

"Alright, go help. It’s been so long since you’ve been home, not sure if your taste has changed, you can adjust the seasoning while cooking to suit your liking."

Grandfather barely sat before heading back out to the yard, "I had nothing to do and grew some green peppers, not spicy, perfect for scrambling with eggs. You used to love it, said it went well with rice, I’ll go pick some for you."

"Then please pick more, I want to eat an extra bowl of rice today. I’ve been missing the home-cooked meals."

She acted so naturally, as if all those unpleasant memories had faded, making Grandfather very pleased.

They are family, no matter the relationship between the young couple, this state is the best.

Returning home when needed.

Eating together without formalities or shyness.

At worst... Qingqing and Zhixun could just ignore each other, as if they were strangers!

Grandfather went to the yard.

Shen Qingqing headed to the kitchen.

Wearing high heels, every step made a clicking sound, which captivated Jiang Zhixun’s attention.

His seat faced the kitchen, allowing him to openly gaze at Shen Qingqing.

With her long hair tied up, her elegant, swan-like neck was completely exposed.

The sweater and skirt combo perfectly accentuated her figure.

She wore stockings, revealing slender, straight calves.

A very intellectual attire, so stunning it was hard to look away.

Jiang Zhixun’s gaze followed Shen Qingqing, and who knows how much restraint it took him to suppress the urge to approach her.

In those three years of marriage, she had already changed a lot.

Now, she had completely transformed.

Become a charismatic mature woman.

Jiang Zhixun deliberately ignored the presence of Zhou Hansheng. This was their family reunion.

Belonging to him.

Belonging to Qingqing.

No outsiders!

He got up and walked to the kitchen, asking Shen Qingqing, "I’m thinking of getting a roast duck, you want to come with me?"

Shen Qingqing paused her vegetable preparation, "You should be able to carry it. There’s no need for me to go."

Jiang Zhixun didn’t insist, "Okay, I’ll go myself then."

Then he asked her, "Anything else you want? Roasted meat? Roll-your-own pancakes?"

Madam Jiang had already prepared a lot of dishes, with eggs and meat. Even without buying roast duck, there was enough to eat.

But since her son wanted to make a gesture, Madam Jiang cooperatively agreed.

Quickly adding, "Buy them all, try a bit of everything. It’s been four years since she came back, she must miss these flavors."

Jiang Zhixun took a last glance at Shen Qingqing and then reluctantly left.

Planning to hurry back, he rode the bicycle Shen Qingqing had left at the Jiang family.

With him gone, Madam Jiang couldn’t help but inquire about Shen Qingqing’s situation with Zhou Hansheng.

"When is Doctor Zhou coming back to China?"

Shen Qingqing paused her vegetable preparation, her calm expression momentarily frozen, but she quickly recovered.

"He probably won’t be coming back."
