My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day
Chapter 163: What’s the Point of Keeping in Touch After Divorce

Chapter 163: Chapter 163: What’s the Point of Keeping in Touch After Divorce

She still remembered the resentful and hateful gaze of her mother before she died.

The dead are just dead, aren’t they?

So that’s why the living can feel so at ease?

How unfair.

Qiao Zhenbin’s pupils shook violently, somewhat incredulously, "You know all about it?"

Qiao Xi’s gaze was a bit cold, "Shouldn’t I know?"

"...How did you find out?"

"If you don’t want anyone to know, don’t do it." Qiao Xi slowly wrapped the scarf around her neck, "Dad, so don’t push me, let’s stop here, and leave us father and daughter the last bit of face."

Speaking, she hung her coat over her arm, looking at the person opposite her, her demeanor full of mirth, "Actually, I am quite grateful to Dad for letting me marry into the Shen Family, after all, I have such a big backing behind me now."

With each word Qiao Xi said, Qiao Zhenbin’s face grew a shade darker, and now it was as cold as frost, looking exactly like a King of Hell.

She knew what to say to make him uncomfortable.

Qiao Xi elegantly stood up, "Dad, I should be going now."

She glanced outside, her voice wrapped with frost, "It’s snowing again outside, be careful on your way back."

Qiao Xi pushed open the door of the coffee shop and walked into the snowflakes, waiting for her Zhou Ge to bring her a black umbrella.

Qiao Xi, tall and slender, got into the car.

Not until the car had driven far away did Qiao Zhenbin clench his fists and angrily smashed the table.

The thing he regretted the most was letting Qiao Xi marry into the Shen Family, and now she even dared to threaten him!

Damn!

Qiao Zhenbin felt like he was about to be infuriated to death.

Wang Wen happened to call in just then, and Qiao Zhenbin answered the call.

"Hello, husband, have you seen Qiao Xi? What did she say?"

Since Wang Wen had hooked up with Qiao Zhenbin, she had been living a life of luxury.

Few people outside knew she had been the other woman.

She moved in after Qiao Xi’s mother died, and so to the outside world, she was a proper Madam Qiao.

Qiao’s company had encountered one blow after another, and Wang Wen hoped most for the company not to have any trouble.

She initially wanted to accompany Qiao Zhenbin to Jiang City, but was it right for an elder to seek out a younger family member?

Therefore, Wang Wen had stayed in Hai City and did not come along, timing it to call Qiao Zhenbin to ask about the progress.

Qiao Zhenbin’s anger had no outlet, his voice suppressing rage, "The unfilial daughter, I should not have given birth to her back then!"

Wang Wen: "...So what’s the situation now?"

"she knows about the past, did you accidentally say something?"

Originally, he thought he could keep Qiao Xi well under control, but little did he know, she had already grown strong wings and now thought she was bigger than him just because she had the Shen Family backing her, how could he tolerate that?

And now she even dared to threaten him!

"It’s not me, I didn’t, where would I dare to say anything! Husband, what should we do now?"

"How would I know what to do?"

"Why not we invite Ah Dang back home, let Nannan earnestly ask for a favor, Ah Dang should be willing to help."

Qiao Zhenbin heard the implication in Wang Wen’s words.

Being pushed to this extent, Qiao Zhenbin was at his wit’s end.

"Let’s talk about this when I get back."

Shen Dang was still unaware that the Qiao Family was casting their hopes on him again.

Shen Dang’s few days in Jiang City had caused him quite a few delays at work, both IDC Capital and GK Entertainment had many matters to handle.

And it was also a particularly busy time at the end of the year.

Qiao Xi was also busy with filming, spending all day either reading the script or shooting, and couldn’t spare any thought to other things.

So, in this way, she and Shen Dang had cooled down a bit.

Shen Dang would occasionally send WeChat messages to her, sending simple greetings.

But Qiao Xi would only see his messages after filming and then reply to him later, with their timing completely misaligned.

Though it was bland, Qiao Xi felt that such a life was pretty good.

It was tranquil like water flowing, with occasional contact, allowing her to know there was such a person, without getting involved in anything else, just maintaining a flat relationship.

Without the tangles of emotions, she felt quite at ease.

This year the New Year came early, celebrated in early February.

Mo Qing wanted to go home to be with his wife and children for the New Year, so he gave the entire crew a holiday.

Qiao Xi hadn’t spent New Year’s at the Qiao Family for several years, and this year was no exception. The Qiao Family did not contact her.

This was just fine.

Just a few days of holiday, Qiao Xi didn’t want to go back to Hai City, because there were still people from the Shen Family there.

Su Tutu took Qiao Xi’s hand, "Come back with us, it’s so boring to be here alone, you don’t want to go back to the Qiao or Shen Family, it’s fine to go to my place too, there’s so many rooms, and you won’t disturb us."

Sheng Chao’s relationship with his family wasn’t good. He and Su Tutu lived outside, and Qiao Xi didn’t want to impose on them.

She smiled radiantly, "I plan to go to Suzhou for a few days, you don’t need to worry about me. With money, how could it be dull, right?"

Su Tutu: "..."

She didn’t quite know how to respond to that.

Money does indeed bring joy.

"Didn’t Ah Dang call you?" Sheng Chao asked.

"We’re divorced, what’s there to contact?" Qiao Xi said nonchalantly.

Sheng Chao: "..."

OK, mute.

Qiao Xi smiled at Su Tutu, "You go back with Brother Chao, I’ve already bought a ticket to Suzhou."

Qiao Xi had a ticket for the next morning, and she had planned to enjoy her trip to Suzhou before returning to continue filming.

But right after she finished her dinner at the hotel, Ran Jing called: "Xixi, come home for New Year’s this year."

Ran Jing had asked in the past two years too, but Qiao Xi was too busy filming to go, and at that time, Shen Dang also wasn’t in Hai City, so Ran Jing didn’t insist.

But this year was different.

Both children were there, and the relationship seemed good. There seemed to be some hope.

Qiao Xi didn’t want to lie to her, but she also didn’t want to go back, "Mom, I’ve made plans with friends to go to Suzhou."

"Your grandfather keeps talking about you. With the cold weather, grandfather’s health isn’t good. It’s better to come back and have a look."

"Pass me the phone."

Qiao Xi then heard Old Master Shen’s voice, "Xixi, won’t you come to visit Grandpa? That stinky boy did you wrong, and now you don’t even want to bother with Grandpa? How can you not come home for New Year’s? Let’s have a New Year’s Eve dinner together as a family, Grandpa doesn’t know how many more New Years he can spend with you."

His words made Qiao Xi want to cry.

She was a person starved for love, so anytime she felt a bit of warmth, she wanted to hold on to it.

After Qiao Zhenbin had sought her out, she mentioned it briefly to Shen Dang, and Shen Dang had Old Master Shen invite Qiao Zhenbin to the Shen Family.

No one knew what they talked about, but Qiao Zhenbin left looking very unpleasant.

Now the Qiao’s company capital had reached a breakpoint, teetering in the midst of a storm.

Old Master Shen had not provided any help. Even if there had been past kindness, it was now depleted.

Old Master Shen stood on her side, not on the Qiao Family’s side.

Qiao Xi gave Bei Bei a holiday to go home, and she changed her ticket, boarding the plane to Hai City alone.

Qiao Xi landed near noon.

Hai City was without snow, the weather overcast, permeated with a touch of depression, and the wind stung the face a bit painfully.

Qiao Xi was about to hail a cab when her phone rang.

It was a call from Shen Dang.

Qiao Xi hesitated for a moment then picked up, "Hello?"
