After Divorce: Why My Aloof Ex Starts Chasing Me?
Chapter 144 Distress

Chapter 144: Chapter 144 Distress

The old man looked serious, "Our family doesn’t welcome you, please leave."

Yang Fen felt wronged, her eyes suddenly reddening, "Grandpa, I didn’t say that, you can’t just listen to Shen Qingqing, that’s biased."

The old man has always been fair, criticizing whoever is at fault.

But this time, he stood by his granddaughter’s side.

"It’s normal to have arguments, but you not letting her return to the compound is crossing the line! If you don’t know what should be said and what shouldn’t, it’s better not to associate in the future!"

The old man didn’t want to interfere in the matters of the young people.

He always believed that where there are people, there will be friction.

But there must be a bottom line in dealing with people and handling affairs.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be chaos?

This time, the old man couldn’t remain silent.

Otherwise, if Qingqing never comes back to the compound, what then?

She’s been through so much hardship, finally seeing the light, she mustn’t be wronged again.

"Qingqing is a member of the Jiang Family!"

The old man said this with a very serious tone, it wasn’t just mere words.

Li Hongyan and Yang Fen felt ashamed, initially wanting to slyly jab at Shen Qingqing, stopping her from mingling with Jiang Zhixun.

Unexpectedly, they shot themselves in the foot.

If the old man’s words get out, many would secretly laugh at them!

Being laughed at was one thing, but they might also get scolded by their elders at home.

Li Hongyan, with her thick skin, apologized to the old man, "I have a poor memory, I don’t know if I said those things, if I did, I apologize to you and Qingqing, I’m known for babbling, you know that, please don’t take offense."

Shen Qingqing admired Li Hongyan’s thick skin and couldn’t be bothered to argue with her.

"Knowing it’s offensive, how can you ask others to be forgiving? The knife didn’t stab into yourself, so you don’t feel the pain."

Making her point clear, Shen Qingqing walked straight into the house.

Her arrogant demeanor was very apparent, not even pretending.

Yang Fen’s eyes were filled with resentment, sticking to Shen Qingqing.

Seeing this, a burst of anger welled up inside her.

Her clothes hugged her figure, her waist so slender it seemed it could break with a twist, like a seductive fox, no wonder Jiang Zhixun was still waiting for her after five years of divorce!

Yang Fen’s gaze seemed to shoot fire, Shen Qingqing turned around, meeting her sullen stare.

Raising an eyebrow, "Miss Yang, looking so upset, do you have something to say?"

Caught in the act, Yang Fen immediately lowered her head.

Said to the old man, "Whether you believe it or not, I just like Brother Zhixun, we’re both single, there’s nothing wrong with pursuing him."

Avoiding hearing more unpleasant words, Yang Fen left first.

Li Hongyan was left to clean up the mess, silently cursing her sister-in-law for lacking loyalty.

Wasn’t all her hard work done for her!

Sighing, she said to the old man, "Xiao Fen is just bullheaded, for Zhixun, she’d even go to the Northwest, and now... sigh, she’s in a foul mood, please don’t hold it against her."

Yang Fen going to the Northwest had nothing to do with the Jiang Family, after all, they didn’t instigate it.

But things escalated so much, the entire compound knew Yang Fen’s intentions.

Even though it wasn’t their fault, the old man felt Yang Fen had wasted her time for Zhixun...

Softening his stance, "Being a person, one must have principles, a bottom line, today bullying Qingqing for Zhixun, tomorrow for something else, committing mistakes, focus more on studying, improve your sense of morality."

"Yes, yes, you’re right."

Li Hongyan encouraged her sister-in-law to pursue Jiang Zhixun, to form ties with the Jiang Family.

Not to create enemies.

Now that someone stood up for Shen Qingqing, she didn’t dare to push too far.

"That girl is probably crying her eyes out now, I’d better go check on her."

The old man initially wanted to suggest they arrange blind dates for Yang Fen, to stop fixating on the Jiang Family.

But outsiders couldn’t meddle in such matters, swallowing his words back down.

Waving his hand, "Go on then."

Madam Jiang was cooking in the kitchen, the window open could see the courtyard, and also hear what they were saying.

Complaining to Shen Qingqing, "The year you went abroad, Zhixun could have been transferred back to Beijing, but Yang Fen meddled, only when things calmed down did he transfer back."

Though, Madam Jiang had once desperately suggested Jiang Zhixun and Yang Fen give it a try.

But as soon as Shen Qingqing appeared, Madam Jiang sided with her instead.

She felt that Shen Qingqing and her son were a match made in heaven.

She’s a language talent, a translator, a university lecturer!

He’s a decorated pilot!

Qingqing is elegant and charming.

Zhixun is handsome and steady.

How well matched!

These thoughts, Madam Jiang only dared to keep to herself, now she didn’t dare to pressure Shen Qingqing.

If she falls ill again, who would take responsibility?

Shen Qingqing wasn’t interested in Jiang Zhixun’s affairs, she could get along with him only out of respect for the elders.

And the gratitude for the Jiang Family raising her.

Once she paid off her debts to him, their interactions would become even less.

Shen Qingqing didn’t respond, Madam Jiang talked to herself, recounting the past four years of events.

"Recently, when we couldn’t reach you, Zhixun almost went crazy, if it weren’t for the old man scolding him, he would have resigned and tried to find you."

Shen Qingqing didn’t expect such a thing happened.

Feeling fortunate it didn’t come true.

Otherwise, she would bear the burden of another man’s life, always feeling indebted, and compromise on major issues.

She didn’t want that!

"Auntie, if it happens again, please tell him, I don’t need anyone sacrificing their career for me, it troubles me greatly."

"The old man said the same thing, and your Uncle Jiang persuaded him all night long to stop him."

Shen Qingqing acknowledged, not wanting to continue the topic.

Madam Jiang carefully observed Shen Qingqing’s expression, noticing she remained graceful and calm.

No sign of being moved at all.

Feeling half disheartened, could it be that Qingqing truly won’t turn back?

When Shen Qingqing mentioned missing Beijing’s food, Jiang Zhixun hurriedly went out, buying everything she used to love.

Over the years, Beijing developed rapidly.

The variety of food also became richer compared to four years ago.

Anything he thought would suit Shen Qingqing’s tastes, as long as he saw it, Jiang Zhixun bought it.

Later, fearing he would be delayed too long and miss her back at the compound, he stopped.

Quickly returning to the compound, that pretty silhouette stood by the kitchen window, head down slicing something.

Her fair and delicate face exposed in the air, in full view.

She was still there.

Jiang Zhixun gently exhaled in relief.

Glancing down at his attire, straightening his clothes, he then strode into the door.

Placing the items on the table, his legs acted on their own, walking to Shen Qingqing’s side.

He missed her so much.

Wanting to grasp every minute and second with Qingqing.

This was his sustenance!

In the thick aroma of the kitchen dishes, catching Shen Qingqing’s fragrance.

The anxious heart gradually settled, returning to normal rhythm.

Standing side by side with her, he reached for the knife in her hand.

"Let me."
