After Divorce: Why My Aloof Ex Starts Chasing Me?-Chapter 81: No Refusal
Chapter 81: Chapter 81: No Refusal
The further Shen Qingqing got from the compound, the more relaxed she felt.
The last bit of restraint on her body disappeared, and her mood, suppressed for several days, gradually improved.
She first returned to her rented apartment, put her luggage back, and then headed out to meet Shi Yu.
Shi Yu was well-prepared for this matchmaking. frёewebηovel.cѳm
She wore a new dress, new leather shoes, and even her hair had been carefully styled.
The curvature of her bangs was obviously specially permed, and the ends were also curled into an inward arc, looking very nice at shoulder length when down.
She had also drawn her eyebrows.
Applied lipstick.
The whole person looked radiant and full of energy, in a particularly good state.
She was well-dressed and graceful, making people like her at first sight.
In contrast, Shen Qingqing was bare-faced, with just a bit of cream applied.
However, her skin was fair, and her features were delicate, making her look beautiful even without elaborate makeup.
Her long, thick black hair was tied into two low ponytails, and she wore flat shoes, looking like a schoolgirl still studying.
Shen Qingqing had been back in Beijing for a while but hadn’t met Shi Yu yet.
Previously contacted by phone, she hadn’t mentioned her car accident.
So when Shi Yu saw her with her arm in a sling, she instinctively asked, "Did your ex-husband hit you?"
Shi Yu knew that Shen Qingqing went to the Northwest to get a divorce.
A woman as good as her, the probability of that man not wanting to let go was high.
But hitting someone is absolutely unacceptable!
No wonder Shen Qingqing insisted on getting a divorce, that’s the bottom line in a marriage, something that must never be crossed!
Shi Yu said angrily, "That’s inhumane, did you report him?"
Such words should not be spoken recklessly.
If it spread and became a rumor, Jiang Zhixun’s future would surely be affected.
Shen Qingqing had no deep grudge against Jiang Zhixun, they weren’t at the point of wishing death on each other.
She quickly explained, "You misunderstood, I had a car accident in the Northwest some time ago."
After she finished, she added, "Jiang Zhixun wouldn’t hit people."
Since childhood, Jiang Zhixun had lived in the praise of others.
He excelled in academics.
Was also physically strong.
No matter which path he took, he could make a name for himself.
Facts proved that he accomplished this too.
In recent years, he had conducted many flight missions and received numerous honors.
No one acquainted with Jiang Zhixun failed to praise him.
Jiang Zhixun had a cold personality, seemed hard to get along with, but he wasn’t a troublemaker and wouldn’t easily get into fights.
Shi Yu asked, "Did you really get divorced?"
Shen Qingqing smiled and asked back, "Do you want me to show you the divorce certificate?"
Shi Yu was very curious about what a divorce certificate looked like.
But this wasn’t a joyful matter, insisting on seeing someone’s divorce certificate would be quite impolite.
"You’re divorced, why are you still speaking on his behalf?"
"I’m not speaking on his behalf, I’m stating the facts."
"When it comes to being human, you should sometimes be more emotional. If you’re upset, just curse him!"
Shen Qingqing teased, "Then teach me, how do I curse someone?"
"No problem!"
Shi Yu had honed her skills in battles of wits and courage with her family.
Holding onto Shen Qingqing’s right hand, "He better not appear in front of me, or I’ll demonstrate for you today!"
Three years of marriage without coming home, if it was something urgent, that would be one thing.
But that man was dodging Shen Qingqing.
If he didn’t want to live life together, he should have suggested divorce early and let her go free.
Holding someone without letting go and yet not coming home.
Really don’t know what he was thinking!
Possibly due to her illness, Shen Qingqing often forgot small things recently.
Especially these days she hadn’t spoken to Jiang Zhixun, hadn’t interacted, and forgot his whereabouts.
Before leaving the compound, she didn’t see him at the Jiang Family’s home.
Shen Qingqing later realized that Jiang Zhixun might have gone to see Chen Shaojie.
Her resolve started to falter.
She touched her left arm, "I just remembered, I have a hospital appointment today."
Shi Yu wasn’t easy to fool.
Her eyes turned, "Your ex-husband is also there?"
That Mr. Chen Shaojie, was someone Shen Qingqing met in the Northwest.
A pilot, and was a comrade of her ex-husband.
So it’s very possible he’d be present too.
Shi Yu immediately straightened up, "It’s good if he’s there, otherwise finding a chance to scold him wouldn’t be easy!"
Shen Qingqing laughed helplessly, "We’re already divorced, scolding him is meaningless."
"How is it meaningless? At least let him know how absurd his actions were, even after the divorce, he owes you an apology!"
If Shen Qingqing hadn’t gone to the Northwest to find him, would that guy have hidden forever?
Shen Qingqing’s great life was being held back!
The hand holding Shen Qingqing applied a bit of pressure, "With you not around, I wouldn’t know what to say to Mr. Chen, and with your ex-husband messing around, you need to hold the fort for me."
Shi Yu patted her chest assuredly, "If he dares to trouble you, let’s see if I won’t scold him to death, but of course, if you feel uncomfortable, we won’t push it."
For introducing Shen Qingqing to such a well-qualified match, Shi Yu felt it would be inhumane if she troubled her.
She genuinely wanted Shen Qingqing to accompany her to the matchmaking.
And truly didn’t want her feeling uncomfortable.
Shi Yu felt torn inside.
Shen Qingqing thought for a few seconds, finally nodding, "Just as well, I’ll hitch a meal, saves me the hassle of going home to cook."
Not being home for a long time, only cold pots and stoves were left.
Meals could be had at a state-owned restaurant, but everyday water had to be boiled using a coal stove.
Shen Qingqing planned to exchange honeycomb briquettes with her neighbor when she got back home.
Once the coal stove was going, it could be used for boiling water or cooking some porridge, eggs, and other food.
Shi Yu also thought of Shen Qingqing’s inconvenience, "If you don’t mind, you can stay at my place for a few days first."
Unlike Shen Qingqing’s situation, Shi Yu didn’t have a good relationship with her family.
Spent the New Year alone as well.
Each time the Shi Family members came to find her, it was either to ask for money or to arrange her marriage for benefit.
Had they not pestered her to the point of exhaustion, fearing they’d lose patience and do something downright despicable, she wouldn’t have thought of leaving Beijing.
They say every family has its own struggles, and Shi Yu didn’t know who was worse off, herself or Shen Qingqing.
Shen Qingqing knew Shi Yu meant well, but she didn’t want to trouble others.
Moreover, since she would inevitably live alone sooner or later, enhancing her self-reliance while not harming herself was also good.
"I can manage on my own, the neighbors are easy to get along with, and if there’s anything, I’ll ask them for help."
Shi Yu, being a woman, was more detail-oriented, and said, "No one’s been living there for quite a while, there must be lots of chores to do, after we meet Mr. Chen, I’ll go to your place with you, just command me if there’s work."
"I can really manage on my own."
Shi Yu’s tone was firm, "Don’t refuse!"
Although she hadn’t met Chen Shaojie yet, his qualifications were flawless.
Military men were desirable, and he was a fighter pilot.
Such a talent was truly rare.
In marriage, competence in various aspects is important, not just love; various factors must be considered.
As long as the man’s character and actions were fine, Shi Yu wished to develop further relations with him.
