After Divorce: Why My Aloof Ex Starts Chasing Me?-Chapter 104: Is He Sick?
Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Is He Sick?
Jiang Zhixun has good flying skills and solid theoretical knowledge.
He was assigned to train the newcomers.
The first phase involved three months of closed training.
When the task was temporarily concluded, Chen Shaojie and Shi Yu were getting married.
Shi Yu didn’t have many friends in Beijing, just Shen Qingqing and some colleagues from the publishing house.
She didn’t plan to associate with those at home, preferring to sever ties completely and never interact with them again.
Therefore, after setting the wedding date, she gave wedding candies to her colleagues and Shen Qingqing, and followed Chen Shaojie resolutely to the Northwest.
There was another intellectual in the compound.
Coming from Beijing and knowing foreign languages, she caused a considerable stir.
Upon inquiry, it turned out she was friends with Shen Qingqing.
Last time Shen Qingqing visited the compound, she caused a similar stir.
Even though so much time had passed, those who saw her could still clearly recall her appearance.
It’s undeniable; Shen Qingqing is incredibly beautiful, with an outstanding temperament, hard to forget after just one glance.
"Why didn’t Captain Jiang’s wife come with you? You are friends; she should attend your wedding and take the chance to see Captain Jiang."
Aunt Li said this.
Shi Yu then realized Jiang Zhixun had kept his divorce a secret, saying Shen Qingqing stayed in Beijing for work.
Those in the know didn’t expose Jiang Zhixun’s lie, allowing him to keep it successfully under wraps.
Privately cursing Jiang Zhixun as despicable.
In the past, he hid his married status.
Now, he hides his divorced status.
"Isn’t this person sick?"
Shi Yu, being straightforward, couldn’t help but blurt this out.
Aunt Li thought Shi Yu was cursing her and instinctively retreated two steps.
Thinking city folks are hard to get along with.
People like Miss Shen are rare.
Upon seeing the misunderstanding, Chen Shaojie quickly explained, "My wife is cursing Jiang Zhixun."
As a friend, he felt embarrassed for Old Jiang.
Never disclosing his marital status to outsiders, he truly wondered what the guy was thinking.
Covering it up doesn’t change reality.
With the misunderstanding cleared, Aunt Li breathed a sigh of relief, "Miss Shen is such a good person, her friends must not be bad either."
Chen Shaojie loved hearing that.
"My wife is great, you’ll know after spending more time with her."
Whether she’s easy to get along with, Aunt Li wasn’t sure.
But this Miss Shi looked hard to deal with, not the same type as Miss Shen.
Didn’t know who was tougher when facing Lin Fengmian.
Previously, Lin Fengmian wanted to marry Chen Shaojie but was sent back home for a while, returning with her brother and sister-in-law after the New Year.
After knowing Chen Shaojie had submitted a marriage report, she cried at home.
One moment cursing Jiang Zhixun, another cursing Chen Shaojie.
Saying they had poor judgment, only liking pretentious intellectuals.
Now that Shi Yu was at the compound, with Lin Fengmian’s temper, she’d definitely not get along with Shi Yu.
Just like before with Miss Shen.
Aunt Li thought to herself, the compound would definitely be more lively in the future.
She smiled and asked Shi Yu, "Is it because Captain Jiang has done something against Miss Shen, that you curse him, Miss Shi?"
That was Shen Qingqing’s personal matter, Shi Yu felt embarrassed to shout it out.
Even if she couldn’t stand Jiang Zhixun’s actions!
"I’m friends with Qingqing but not living under their bed, how would I know if Jiang Zhixun has wronged her."
Aunt Li: "..."
That phrasing was too crude, was this really something an intellectual would say?
Chen Shaojie awkwardly rubbed the tip of his nose.
He knew his wife’s straightforward nature, but this was a bit too much...
He lifted the stuff in his hands, "Aunt, we need to go back to set up the new room, so let’s not talk more. Come to the cafeteria early tomorrow for the meal."
Chen Shaojie and Shi Yu were inviting few guests for the wedding, arranging two tables in the cafeteria, declaring vows in front of friends and family as formalization.
Aunt Li knew they were busy, despite curiosity about Jiang Zhixun and Shen Qingqing, she didn’t dig too deep.
"Do you need help from me? We’ll be neighbors upstairs and downstairs, we can look out for each other."
Chen Shaojie thanked Aunt Li for her kindness, "We don’t have much stuff, we can manage on our own."
Shi Yu, coming from Beijing as an intellectual, the Chen Family didn’t want her to feel wronged.
Three home appliances were bought.
Thirty-six legs were bought.
Two new cotton quilts were also prepared, along with a thermos, enamel basin, enamel cups... everything was there.
When the stuff was moved into the new room, many folks at the compound came to see.
The amount of stuff was considerable.
It showed Chen Shaojie valued his wife greatly.
Lin Fengmian, visiting with Xiaomei, came back looking glum.
Aunt Li waved goodbye, "You better go back, Aunt has to visit the vegetable plot, recently planted some sweet potatoes, they need watering."
Behind the compound was a vacant area where families could apply for plots to grow cabbages and radishes, convenient to eat, and to stash some away for winter.
Shi Yu asked Chen Shaojie, "What conditions are needed for an application? I’d like to grow a plot too."
The allocated plot wouldn’t be large, taking care of it could be relaxing.
Chen Shaojie agreed immediately, "Leave it to me."
She trusted Chen Shaojie to get things done.
Shi Yu asked, "What’s with Jiang Zhixun, is he feeling ashamed about the divorce, scared of being laughed at, so he hid it on purpose?"
Chen Shaojie didn’t think that was the case.
"Old Jiang wants to remarry Miss Shen."
He didn’t want to divorce, nor accept the reality after getting the divorce papers.
Chen Shaojie sighed.
"Unforeseen consequences due to one’s own actions, the ancients were right."
Shi Yu agreed with this, "He deserves it, I think Qingqing is about to forget him, the other day Zhou sent her home, as long as Jiang Zhixun doesn’t cause trouble, there’s hope for them."
Chen Shaojie felt a bit anxious, jokingly said: "They’ve known each other for so long, how could she forget him? Last time Miss Shen had a car accident, scratched her face, probably hit her head too, yet she never forgot Old Jiang."
Shi Yu then realized she hadn’t told Chen Shaojie about Shen Qingqing’s illness.
"Is Jiang Zhixun still on a mission?"
"It should end today, I’ll check at the dorm later on."
Shi Yu’s expression became momentarily complex.
Seems Jiang Zhixun didn’t know Qingqing’s illness symptoms yet.
Shi Yu wanted to gloat, laughing at Jiang Zhixun as a clown, still kept in the dark, sure to be shocked when he finds out the truth.
But thinking of the unwell Shen Qingqing, she couldn’t laugh.
Shen Qingqing was her friend, who had introduced her to a reliable and excellent partner.
She equally hoped Shen Qingqing would be safe and happy.
"Don’t let me see Jiang Zhixun, it bothers me."
She feared she might accidentally reveal the issue.
Chen Shaojie rubbed the back of his head, looking troubled, "We’re getting married tomorrow, I invited him; honey, could you put up with it for now?"
Shi Yu snorted, "If I dislike him, would you sever ties with him?"
"I sure would, you’re more important than him."
Shi Yu was pleased by his flattery.
She patted Chen Shaojie’s shoulder, "You deserve to have a wife."
