After Divorce: Why My Aloof Ex Starts Chasing Me?-Chapter 47: Going on a Mission

Jiang Zhixun is going on a mission.

Before leaving, he decides to find out clearly whether Lin Fengmian is really trying to harm Shen Qingqing.

If she really did... Lin Fengmian is a woman and Lin Zhidong’s own younger sister.

Should he scold her?

He can’t do such a thing.

Should he ask Lin Zhidong to discipline his sister well?

If disciplining worked, Lin Fengmian wouldn’t keep targeting Shen Qingqing time and again.

But if he does nothing, what’s the point of finding out the truth?

Various chaotic thoughts swirl in his mind, yet Jiang Zhixun can’t find a way to support Shen Qingqing.

Before sorting things out, he unexpectedly encounters Lin Fengmian halfway.

This time, she isn’t with the child.

She is dressed more formally than usual, with two braided pigtails, carrying a military green canvas bag across her body, looking like she’s going out.

Previously, Zhou Xiaomei quarreled with Lin Fengmian, declaring she didn’t want her to help with the child, and indeed sent Xiao Bao to Aunt Li’s house.

She promised to give Aunt Li five yuan each month, and after work, she would pick up the child and bring him home first.

Not eating or sleeping at the Li Family’s house, just a matter of seven or eight hours.

Aunt Li was quite pleased.

After all, whether she’s idle or earning money, a little or a lot, saving it up totals a significant amount over the year.

Lin Fengmian was so angry she felt like having a stroke but didn’t bow to her brother or sister-in-law.

She’s just waiting to see if outsiders can really take good care of the child.

If anything goes wrong, let’s see how Zhou Xiaomei keeps her tough talk!

Feeling bottled-up, she wants to take a trip to the county town.

She also wants to, like Shen Qingqing, watch movies, eat out, and stay in guesthouses enjoying life!

Upon encountering Jiang Zhixun, Lin Fengmian unusually doesn’t walk up to him, just slows her steps a little.

In her sight, the tall and handsome man walks toward her.

Even knowing he’s already married, Lin Fengmian’s heart still beats faster involuntarily.

She asks uncertainly, "Brother Jiang, you’re looking for me?"

Jiang Zhixun doesn’t like beating around the bush, but asking Lin Fengmian directly if she tampered with the food is difficult to utter.

If it turns out to be just a misunderstanding, it would hurt the woman’s self-esteem and integrity.

On one side is Shen Qingqing.

On the other side are Lin Zhidong and his sister.

Jiang Zhixun is in a dilemma.

When silent, Jiang Zhixun’s aura appears distant, giving off a vibe that deters strangers.

Lin Fengmian’s heart is restless, unsure why Jiang Zhixun is looking for her.

The more you say, the more mistakes you make; if the other party doesn’t speak, she stands quietly.

Guessing in her heart, did Shen Qingqing complain to Brother Jiang?

Lin Fengmian becomes even more nervous, fearing Jiang Zhixun came to settle accounts with her.

But thinking again, Jiang Zhixun, as a soldier, must do things with principles.

He’s unlikely to emulate Shen Qingqing’s shrewish behavior, irrationally running to other people’s houses, not just slapping but also beating someone with a rolling pin.

Calling her a shrew is putting it mildly!

With such thoughts, Lin Fengmian feels somewhat relieved.

Facing her cautious gaze, Jiang Zhixun feels increasingly troubled.

Afraid of wrongly accusing her, making it difficult to settle the matter. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Finally, he asks calmly, "I’m looking for your brother, is he home?"

Lin Zhidong, unlike Lin Fengmian, is straightforward; it’s more appropriate to ask him.

If his suspicion turns out true, how to proceed, a statement from Lin Zhidong is necessary.

Lin Fengmian glances at Jiang Zhixun, feeling his real purpose isn’t this.

She shakes her head, "He hasn’t returned yet."

Not wanting to talk much with Jiang Zhixun, fearing she might accidentally reveal things she shouldn’t.

Lin Fengmian uneasily says, "I’m off to the county to do some errands, have to catch the bus first."

After speaking, she quickly leaves with her head down.

Such a reaction, more like guilt than avoiding suspicion, Jiang Zhixun sharply senses Lin Fengmian’s unusual behavior.

With sharp eyes squinting, he clenches his hand hanging by his side.

Determined, he heads to the training ground to find Lin Zhidong.

Seeing his serious expression, Lin Zhidong thinks something big has happened.

Turns out Jiang Zhixun asks, "The rice wine egg soup that day, was it made by Miss Zhou?"

Lin Zhidong instinctively nods, "My wife made it; if Miss Shen likes it, I’ll have Xiaomei make it again."

Jiang Zhixun asks again, "Did anyone else touch it?"

Lin Zhidong isn’t foolish.

The "others" referred to here, isn’t it about his younger sister?

Nervously, he rubs his hands and tentatively asks, "Did Miss Shen fall ill?"

"No illness, just stayed drunk all night."

That pot of rice wine egg soup was richly prepared, just more red sugar and eggs were added.

Though Jiang Zhixun doesn’t say it directly, Lin Zhidong understands his implication.

"Whether it involved Xiao Mian or not, let me apologize to you and Miss Shen first." Lin Zhidong feels deeply guilty.

The food was sent from their home, if there’s truly a problem, it’s their responsibility.

If it’s more severe, well... if his sister made a mistake, it’s his mistake.

Jiang Zhixun and Lin Zhidong are comrades, with deep friendship, hence his dilemma.

"Go and ask Miss Lin what’s truly going on; if I misunderstood, I’m willing to apologize to her in person."

Lin Zhidong understands Jiang Zhixun’s nature.

Without a reasonable suspicion, he wouldn’t speak to this extent.

His expression turns more guilty.

In just these few days, Lin Fengmian’s targeting of Miss Shen is hard to count on one hand!

"If it’s her fault, I won’t plead for her this time; you and Miss Shen can resolve it whichever way you’d like."

You can try teaching one, but some lessons need to be learned the hard way!

This time Shen Qingqing didn’t face any issues, and Jiang Zhixun doesn’t want to pursue it.

Avoiding awkwardness for Lin Zhidong and his wife.

Ultimately, they sent food to Shen Qingqing out of goodwill.

In this era where clothing and eating are linked to ration coupons, the food they sent to Shen Qingqing is considered luxurious for many.

Though the outcome isn’t ideal, their intentions were good.

Shen Qingqing is fine, seemingly not intending to pursue anything.

"Qingqing is alright; I won’t pursue further. But we need to clear this matter up."

Lin Zhidong knows Jiang Zhixun and Shen Qingqing have given him enough face.

Otherwise, given his sister’s odd remarks, they’d have fallen out long ago.

He pats Jiang Zhixun’s shoulder, "Even though she’s my sister, if she did wrong, I won’t cover for her. Once I find out the truth, I’ll give you an explanation."

Jiang Zhixun nods.

He has other important matters, so after speaking, he leaves the training ground.

This mission means he won’t see Shen Qingqing for at least ten days.

Jiang Zhixun hesitates whether to visit the guesthouse, just to leave a few words for Shen Qingqing at the front desk even if he doesn’t meet her.

To prevent her from sulking due to the lack of communication.

But he feels lowering his head repeatedly seems undignified.

Since she’s safe in the compound, there’s nothing for him to worry about, deciding not to make unnecessary moves.

Without seeing Shen Qingqing or leaving her a message, Jiang Zhixun directly went on his mission.
