After Divorce: Why My Aloof Ex Starts Chasing Me?-Chapter 49: What Exactly Does He Want

Shen Qingqing has made up her mind to divorce. Jiang Zhixun went on a mission, so she patiently waits.

During this time, she met Zhou Xiaomei once in the cafeteria.

Perhaps having learned about Lin Fengmian’s "good deeds," Zhou Xiaomei apologized to her and sent Lin Fengmian back to their hometown in advance.

She said that she wouldn’t interfere with Lin Fengmian’s affairs anymore and would leave her to find a partner back in her hometown.

This was a Lin Family affair; Shen Qingqing didn’t want to get involved and didn’t express any opinion.

Lin Fengmian had bothered her, and she had already vented her anger for herself.

As for the rest, it had nothing to do with her.

She only told Zhou Xiaomei that they shouldn’t confuse matters; she understood the kindness of the couple.

So she just waits at the guesthouse.

The longer the time passes, the more anxious Shen Qingqing becomes.

In the beginning, she could still sleep soundly, but later on, she started having insomnia at night.

Her mind kept dwelling on the divorce issue.

Without settling this matter, she couldn’t find peace to live her life.

Shen Qingqing hadn’t returned to Beijing all this time; later, the Jiang Family called again, but she didn’t call back.

If the matter isn’t resolved, she won’t return to the residence.

She’s counting the days like this.

After ten days, just as Shen Qingqing’s patience was about to run out, Chen Shaojie told her that Jiang Zhixun’s mission was over.

"He is currently in the dormitory; once he changes his clothes, he’ll come to the cafeteria for a meal. Wait a bit longer."

Shen Qingqing’s anxious heart finally found a sense of direction.

She thanked Chen Shaojie, "Thank you for the trouble during this period."

Although the divorce issue wasn’t widely spread, those close to Jiang Zhixun knew.

Chen Shaojie and Cheng Jingliang worried Shen Qingqing might overthink, and whenever there was a chance, they ate with her.

Explicitly or implicitly, they would speak a few good words about Jiang Zhixun, hoping the couple could reconcile.

Whenever it happened, Shen Qingqing wouldn’t join the conversation.

Gradually, they also understood Shen Qingqing’s attitude.

Even if the king came, she would still want a divorce!

Chen Shaojie had never dated, didn’t know how to go all out to help a brother.

He could only secretly pray that Old Jiang would perform better this time and not stir things up.

Even if divorce must happen, at least make it amicable.

After all, Miss Shen grew up in the Jiang Family, and in the future during holidays, they might meet again.

If things turn ugly, this lifetime Miss Shen and Old Jiang might end without any further interaction.

She waited in the cafeteria for nearly an hour, but Jiang Zhixun didn’t come.

Shen Qingqing frequently looked at her watch, her expression subtly annoyed.

Chen Shaojie noticed this, said, "I’ll return to the dormitory and check things out, let him come to see you."

Shen Qingqing nodded, "Mr. Chen, please help me tell him, if he doesn’t come to see me, then I’ll go find him."

People value their reputation, just like trees value their bark.

Don’t look at Jiang Zhixun as if he doesn’t care about anything; if the scene turns ugly, he would definitely feel embarrassed.

Shen Qingqing is all out, after handling things, she’ll leave, never returning here again.

No matter what others whisper behind her back, she won’t hear it and can act as if it doesn’t exist!

Chen Shaojie felt a chill run down his spine, stammering, "Miss Shen, please wait a little longer."

After speaking, he quickly left the cafeteria.

He cursed inwardly, his wife was about to leave, yet Old Jiang kept holding on, not rushing to make amends.

Once they get the divorce certificate, how would he deal with it!

On the other side, Jiang Zhixun had already gone to the county town, intending to buy some things before meeting Shen Qingqing.

He hoped that given his sincere efforts, Shen Qingqing would have a serious conversation with him.

He had already decided, during the long holiday over the New Year, they could seriously spend time together.

If after the New Year, Shen Qingqing still wished to divorce, he wouldn’t stand in her way.

Having made up his mind, Jiang Zhixun felt considerably relaxed.

He always thought Shen Qingqing was very obedient, but unexpectedly, her stubbornness proved quite maddening.

It hadn’t been long, yet she already made him dizzy.

Mulling over his wristwatch’s dial, Jiang Zhixun felt gloomy, wondering what to do if Shen Qingqing scolded him again when they meet.

After much thinking, at the supply and marketing cooperative, he finally had an answer.

No matter how Shen Qingqing scolds or hits him, he would endure without leaving her alone to stew in anger at the guesthouse.

Shen Qingqing endured much hardship to come to the Northwest, as her husband, he shouldn’t be so indifferent.

Items supplied at the cooperative are limited, incomparable to Beijing.

Jiang Zhixun thought of buying Shen Qingqing some snacks first, and then accompanying her to the department store once back in Beijing.

By then, she could buy whatever she wanted.

The money on the passbook was originally intended for Shen Qingqing.

In the past three years, she hadn’t spent a penny of it, so this time, she can spend freely.

Jiang Zhixun doesn’t eat snacks; sometimes for gifting, he buys canned goods, malted milk, and candy.

These three are quality items, making them a safe bet for gifting.

But Jiang Zhixun truly doesn’t know if Shen Qingqing likes them.

During the years their relationship was most harmonious, he only provided her pocket money, never noticing what Shen Qingqing bought with it.

The last time they were in the county town, Shen Qingqing bought canned goods and candy but didn’t send them out later.

It’s unknown whether she finished eating them now or not?

With over half a month left until the holiday, Jiang Zhixun thought about it and bought malted milk, glutinous rice strips, and sunflower seeds.

She could eat them while reading.

Anything not finished could be brought to the train when returning to Beijing.

The Residence.

Shen Qingqing didn’t wait for Jiang Zhixun.

Chen Shaojie didn’t see him in the dormitory, thinking he already went to the cafeteria.

Until leaving for work in the afternoon, encountering Shen Qingqing, then he found out he hadn’t gone at all.

Upon inquiring, it turned out Jiang Zhixun had taken the car from the logistics department to the county town.

Shen Qingqing held her anger back several times, and this time was directly brought to tears by Jiang Zhixun.

She just wanted a divorce, why wasn’t he cooperating?

Shen Qingqing’s eyes turned red, with moist mist swirling inside, Chen Shaojie thought trouble was brewing.

He hurriedly tried to cover for Jiang Zhixun, "He might have gone to the county town for errands, Miss Shen; why don’t you wait a little longer?"

Wait, wait, and wait.

Does she have to wait until eternity!

If Jiang Zhixun doesn’t see her today, does it mean he’ll find other reasons to avoid her tomorrow?

Shen Qingqing felt extremely upset; she hadn’t complained about Jiang Zhixun in the past three years.

But now she truly wished she could give him two slaps.

He isn’t living well with her.

And isn’t divorcing.

What exactly does he want!

Shen Qingqing didn’t want to cry, but the grievances pressing her heart spiraled out of control, forming moisture gathering in her eyes.

Before the tears fell, she turned and left first.

Chen Shaojie wanted to call out to her, but feared embarrassing the lady, could only swallow the words back into his stomach.

He sighed heavily.

He truly didn’t know how to help Old Jiang!

Shen Qingqing quickly returned to the guesthouse, packed everything into her suitcase.

If she could meet Jiang Zhixun in the county town, they’d talk there.

If they couldn’t meet, then she’d return to Beijing.

She didn’t want the Jiang Family’s elders to intervene in her divorce from Jiang Zhixun, but now she had no choice.

Jiang Zhixun had been avoiding her.

She could only let Grandpa Jiang step in to help solve the issue.

If she dragged it out here, she might be driven to act like a shrew.

She doesn’t want that!
