After Divorce: Why My Aloof Ex Starts Chasing Me?-Chapter 43 Persuasion

Shen Qingqing might really be in trouble.

This suspicion made Jiang Zhixun restless, and his heart uncontrollably sank.

As a woman living outside alone, if she encounters hooligans or someone deliberately causing trouble, the possibility of her being bullied is high.

She also encountered trouble on the train when she came...

All sorts of bad things collided together, and without him by her side, it seems reasonable she would want a divorce.

Jiang Zhixun couldn’t sit still any longer.

He got up and was about to leave.

Since Shen Qingqing wasn’t telling him the truth, he could only ask friends in Beijing to investigate.

He also needed to call home.

Let the elders persuade her not to mention divorce again.

If she was really wronged, when he returns to Beijing, he will seek justice for her.

"Hey, why are you leaving again?" Chen Shaojie and Cheng Jingliang wanted to give him some advice.

"Making a phone call."

As soon as the words fell, he was already gone.

Chen Shaojie thought for a moment, "Miss Shen wants to introduce me to someone. Next time I meet her, I’ll try to find out about the situation."

Cheng Jingliang shook his head, "It’s their private matter; we better not ask too much, otherwise, we might offend their privacy."

"That’s true."

Thinking about it, this was indeed quite reasonable, Chen Shaojie said, "So, we just ignore it?"

"Ignore it. If there’s really something, the elder from Old Jiang’s family and the leaders from our side will step in to mediate. We might just make things worse by meddling."

Chen Shaojie sighed again.

"Old Jiang is usually quite reliable. Why does he become so clueless when it comes to personal relationships?"

Clearly, he seems to care about Miss Shen, but he just doesn’t speak properly.

This guy is really awkward!

Jiang Zhixun first called a friend in Beijing to help investigate if Shen Qingqing was encountering difficulties.

If there was really trouble, he would take responsibility for solving it.

Then he made a call to his family.

With the elders’ persuasion, Shen Qingqing should dismiss the idea of divorce.

Even though this action was a bit embarrassing, like a child tattling to their parent, Jiang Zhixun couldn’t care that much.

Since Shen Qingqing wouldn’t listen to him, it was more effective to have the elders step in.

As soon as the call connected, Jiang Zhixun didn’t give his mom the chance to ask questions.

He directly said, "Shen Qingqing wants to divorce me."

The person on the other end suddenly went silent, clearly stunned by the news.

After all, everyone with eyes could see how much Shen Qingqing liked Jiang Zhixun.

They had been married for three years, why would she want a divorce?

Madam Jiang had previously said in anger that they might as well divorce, but she was unwilling for the young couple to really separate.

Not to mention from the time Shen Qingqing came to the Jiang Family compound as a teenager, she had a unique bond with them.

Shen Qingqing had exceptional talent and looks.

Which family wouldn’t like such a daughter-in-law?

Madam Jiang asked confidently, "Are you giving her attitude again, making Qingqing unhappy?"

Jiang Zhixun frowned, "I’m not."

That’s just his temperament, and Shen Qingqing knows this.

Besides, if he were giving her attitude, would he go to the town to pick her up?

Would he take care of her all night when she was drunk and even do her laundry?

"Then why does she suddenly want a divorce? Just a few days ago, she promised me she’d live well with you."

He was also present at the hospital during that phone call.

He roughly heard what his mom said.

Shen Qingqing indeed didn’t refute then, she only seemed aggrieved.

To ease her pressure, he had changed his mind to have a child to satisfy the elders.

But unexpectedly, Shen Qingqing suddenly backed out.

She refused to have a child.

And she wants a divorce!

Jiang Zhixun felt a stuffy discomfort in his heart.

If he weren’t in good health, he’d probably be sickened by Shen Qingqing’s antics!

"Anyway, you should persuade her to dismiss the idea early."

Of course, Madam Jiang would persuade her.

Marriage isn’t child’s play; how can it be dismissed or ended easily?

Some people bicker and argue all their lives but never actually divorce.

They’ve only been in a cold war for three years, without quarrels, so the situation isn’t severe.

If they start living well now, everything can still be saved.

Madam Jiang steadied herself, "Are you sure you don’t want a divorce? It’s Qingqing who’s initiating it now; if you miss this chance, divorcing won’t be easy for you later."

"Stop trying to trick me."

Madam Jiang snorted on the other end, "Even if you wanted a divorce, we wouldn’t agree."

Jiang Zhixun already guessed this would be the case.

He corrected, "Now it’s Shen Qingqing who wants to divorce. Instead of lecturing me, you should quickly call her."

No matter how much he tried to control his emotions, Madam Jiang could hear something was off.

Such urgency wasn’t like his usual behavior.

"Didn’t you say that if Qingqing wanted a divorce, you would decisively agree?"

This was something Jiang Zhixun had himself said, which suddenly made his face flush with embarrassment.

He dryly said, "Marriage isn’t child’s play."

Madam Jiang’s tense emotions relaxed.

She bluntly asked, "Be honest, is it because you think Qingqing is good, so you’re reluctant to divorce?"

No matter how big the grievances, three years should be enough to digest them.

This time Qingqing traveled thousands of miles to the Northwest, how could the brat not be moved?

Shen Qingqing was particularly beautiful, with a good character. Madam Jiang thought that as long as she was willing to work at it, reconciling the marital relationship would be simple.

Jiang Zhixun knew well enough how good Shen Qingqing was.

But that’s a different matter altogether.

Pinching his brow, he said, "Don’t overthink, just make sure she doesn’t divorce."

Madam Jiang was helpless, "Even if I were to persuade her, I’d need a starting point. If you don’t treat her well, how can I say good things for you?"

Jiang Zhixun pressed his lips, "I have a task now and cannot apply to return to Beijing short-term. Once my official work is done, I will submit an application."

Finally hearing what she wanted, and clearly from her son’s own words, Madam Jiang was overjoyed.

"You won’t go back on your word?"

"Hmm."

Shen Qingqing’s job was in Beijing, and she was quite delicate, probably unable to handle the hardships of the Northwest.

If they were to be separated long-term, even if she was persuaded now, she would likely bring up divorce again in the future.

Thinking about such a scenario gave Jiang Zhixun a headache.

As long as Shen Qingqing didn’t make a fuss again, he would try his best to cooperate within feasible limits.

Madam Jiang also felt that as long as her son was willing to return to Beijing, Shen Qingqing would surely calm down.

Thus, she wasn’t in too much of a hurry.

"Let her calm down for a couple of days first, then I’ll call her, so she won’t be too irritated to answer."

Jiang Zhixun was surprised, "She wouldn’t even answer your call?"

Speaking of which, Madam Jiang was holding a belly full of complaints.

"She wouldn’t just not answer. Once, when I asked her to go find you, she hung up the call as soon as I started."

This incident left Madam Jiang quite hurt.

But she couldn’t lose her temper, or Shen Qingqing would be even more reluctant to return to the compound.

Jiang Zhixun was genuinely surprised.

His impression of Shen Qingqing was still three years old.

Even when they met this time, Shen Qingqing didn’t seem to give him a good look.

But subconsciously, Shen Qingqing seemed like a very well-behaved girl to him.

Like a little bunny, with a very gentle temper.

He didn’t think she’d hang up on a call from an elder.

Imagining her puffed-up expression, Jiang Zhixun’s mouth twitched, inexplicably wanting to smile.

Then he quickly adjusted, straightening his expression.

"Don’t forget to call her."

"Don’t worry, I won’t forget."

In any interaction, there will inevitably be bumps.

But no matter what, Madam Jiang was satisfied with Shen Qingqing as a daughter-in-law.

Divorce? They would never agree!
