After Divorce: Why My Aloof Ex Starts Chasing Me?-Chapter 220 Accusing Shen Qingqing

In the bustling lobby, a middle-aged woman was kneeling there, begging to see her niece.

"Xiaoyu is your brother. He needs money to save his life now, you can’t just ignore him!"

"When your parents passed away, we didn’t ignore you. Now, your aunt needs help. Please, help us just this once!"

The commotion attracted a lot of attention.

People who didn’t know the truth of the matter, upon hearing Shu Xian’s words, might even think that they raised the niece.

And now in their time of need, the niece was hiding and refusing to see anyone.

"Ungrateful wolf, heartless!" someone muttered.

"Able to stay in a hotel this nice, obviously not hard up, yet refuses to fork out a cent, such stinginess."

Facing such pointing and mutterings, even though it was Shen Qingqing being cursed at, Shu Xian’s face turned red.

She pinched her palm, forcing herself to put aside her pride.

As long as she could get the money to treat her son, losing face was a small price.

Upon receiving the call from the front desk, Shen Qingqing learned what a big scene Shu Xian was causing below.

She was instantly speechless.

Shen Qingqing was truly at a loss for words. If every issue could be resolved with unreasonable pestering, wouldn’t everything just fall apart?

In the past, Shen Qingqing might’ve cared about what others said, trying to convince Shu Xian to get up and stop making a spectacle of herself.

But now, she felt calm inside.

If she likes to kneel, then let her kneel!

She was open and honest, unafraid of slander.

In short, as long as she didn’t take the idle chatter to heart, it had no effect on her.

"Miss Shen, do you think you could come down and persuade her? Having her block the lobby like this is not a solution."

Shen Qingqing sincerely suggested, "I understand you need to keep your business running; when necessary, you can call the police. I believe the problem will be perfectly resolved."

If it could be resolved peacefully, they didn’t want to go to the police station.

It’s time-consuming and troublesome. How simple would it be if the person involved just came down and said a few words?

The person on the other end said, "Miss Shen, as long as you come downstairs, maybe the problem will be solved right away."

Shen Qingqing smiled slightly, "Really solved? Or is the conflict just temporarily deferred? If I get entangled and something happens, should you bear the responsibility then?"

The person on the other side had no reply.

Shen Qingqing’s tone was gentle, starkly contrasting with the unreasonable voice in the background.

"I really have no relation with her, please either send her away or directly call the police."

Her tone was gentle, but there was no room for negotiation in her words.

"Sorry for bothering you, Miss Shen, we will resolve it promptly."

After the call ended, Madam Jiang gave Shen Qingqing a thumbs-up, "She must be furious."

An ordinary person wouldn’t do something like this.

Kneeling in public, how humiliating.

That Shu Xian was an intellectual too, very proud back then.

This kneeling, she’s probably sacrificed all her dignity.

She must be feeling very wronged, thinking it’s a hard situation for her.

If Qingqing went downstairs, it would be playing into her drama.

Without Qingqing going down, she has no idea how to carry on her one-man show.

Imagining Shu Xian’s embarrassed and upset look, Madam Jiang couldn’t help but feel like laughing.

"Some people become more excited the more attention you give them. You should handle it like this. She’s trying hard to drag you down, yet you stay firm like a mountain, not even letting her see your face. If it were someone with a fiery temper, they’d be hopping mad."

Shen Qingqing agreed, "It’s best not to engage her; the more contact, the more complicated it becomes."

"Before coming, I was worried you might soften, being morally coerced by those relatives, but now I see your father was right; you and Zhixun are not kids anymore."

"It’s good you came. If they persist in pestering, seeing you might give them some pause."

Madam Jiang chuckled, "Alright, mom’s here to back you up!"

Down in the lobby.

Shu Xian had been kneeling and complaining for a long time, yet she hadn’t seen Shen Qingqing. Now she was being threatened with being sent to the police station.

"I’m really a relative of Shen Qingqing!"

"Miss Shen said there’s no relation at all."

Shu Xian gritted her teeth, "Her boss and colleagues are staying here too. I’ll go see them and let them know how cold-hearted Shen Qingqing is, willing to watch her cousin die!"

Bothering Shen Qingqing alone was already giving the staff a headache.

If they went to bother others, they’d lose their jobs!

Without any more hesitation, they directly called the police.

Two other female staff members helped Shu Xian up. Kneeling like that was disgraceful!

The development wasn’t what she expected at all, and Shu Xian was anxious.

She yelled loudly, "Shen Qingqing, you’re leaving someone to die and still want to be a role model!"

"I’m going to send complaint letters to your school; you’re immoral! Not fit to be a teacher!"

Jiang Zhixun had confirmed Shen Qingqing’s work schedule time. He was on vacation and had come to Shanghai specifically to pick her up home.

He didn’t expect to encounter this farce.

On the phone, Shen Qingqing hadn’t mentioned meeting any relatives. Jiang Zhixun had gone back to the compound to change clothes. Since he didn’t stay long, no one mentioned it to him either.

At first, he didn’t realize who was causing the scene.

Until he saw a familiar resemblance in that face, he then realized.

These were Shu Family people.

Qingqing hadn’t been back to Shanghai in over a decade and hadn’t contacted these people.

Suddenly being harassed couldn’t be anything good.

He told the staff, "When guests check in, you should be responsible for them. Report to the police."

"It’s already been done, no need to worry."

Jiang Zhixun nodded, took out his ID, and booked a room for himself.

On the same floor as Shen Qingqing’s, separated by a hallway, directly opposite.

The harsh words still drilled into his ears.

Jiang Zhixun had suffered before from being reported, although it hadn’t affected his career in the end, he still felt frustrated every time he thought about it.

Pressing his jaw, he walked step by step towards Shu Xian.

"Want to report Qingqing?"

The shouting person was suddenly interrupted, and Shu Xian looked bewilderedly at the man in front of her.

She hadn’t seen him before, didn’t know who he was.

Could he be a colleague of Shen Qingqing?

Calmed her nerves and said, "Yes, she’s ignoring her family and won’t lift a finger for her cousin, such a cold and heartless person isn’t fit to be a teacher!"

"Family?"

Jiang Zhixun repeated the word, the sarcasm in his eyes growing stronger.

"Are you talking about the ones who tried to take advantage after her parents passed away? Or the ones who feared Qingqing would cling onto them, avoiding meeting up?"

Shu Xian’s expression changed several times, red one moment, green the next, extremely embarrassed.

Initially, there were people helping her scold Shen Qingqing. But now none dared speak.

So the niece, after all, wasn’t even brought up by that person!

Where did she get the gall to demand someone save her son?

Shu Xian feigned calm, "That’s our family matter. The truth is known only to us. Comrade, don’t loosely accuse people."

"Who is accusing whom, we all know in our hearts. This can be easily investigated."

Shu Xian lacked confidence and didn’t want to argue this point.

Jiang Zhixun, however, wasn’t willing to let it go at that.

There were still Shen Qingqing’s colleagues present, he had to let them know that it wasn’t Qingqing who was cold-hearted, but some people just weren’t worth it.

"When Qingqing needed guardians, you hid. When she was sick, you also hid. Now, after more than ten years of no contact, it’s unreasonable to cling onto her just because she has a job and can earn a living. The world doesn’t work like that."

Jiang Zhixun stated it clearly, and compared to that, Shu Xian’s complaints lost their credibility.

The people who pitied her now had changed their looks.

The meaningful gazes fell on her, making Shu Xian too embarrassed to lift her head.

Without saying more, Jiang Zhixun quickly went upstairs.

Qingqing must know about the commotion here, unsure if her mood was affected.
