After Divorce: Why My Aloof Ex Starts Chasing Me?-Chapter 93 Sympathy for Jiang Zhixun
Chapter 93: Chapter 93 Sympathy for Jiang Zhixun freёnovelkiss.com
After running quite far, Shi Yu finally realized what she had done.
She hurriedly let go of Chen Shaojie’s hand.
Both of them were a little shy, and for a moment, they didn’t dare to look into each other’s eyes.
Chen Shaojie stood there stiff and straight, with his hands at his pants seam, maintaining a military stance.
The place Shi Yu had held felt like it was burning, as if it was on fire.
He stammered, "No need to run. They can’t beat me."
He wouldn’t let anyone bully Shi Yu.
Not to mention, Shi Yu was his partner, and he had the responsibility to protect her.
Even if they were just strangers, it was only right to lend a hand when seeing injustice.
Shi Yu inwardly cursed, "fool," "If it ends up at the police station, I’m afraid it might affect your job."
Barefoot people don’t fear those wearing shoes.
Those people were all rascals, and they didn’t have as much as they did.
Getting entangled with rascals often resulted in them losing out.
Though it was a bit frustrating, Shi Yu hoped to preserve their interests as much as possible.
To vent her anger by sacrificing Chen Shaojie’s future would be too costly.
Chen Shaojie knew Shi Yu was thinking of him, feeling both touched and heartbroken by her predicament.
Gathering his courage, he patted her head.
Then quickly withdrew his hand, "Don’t be afraid. You’ve got me from now on."
Shi Yu’s eyes sparkled with amusement.
She liked men like this, who knew how to protect their partners and provided them with endless security.
She blinked, "Qingqing’s truly reliable, except for fancying Jiang Zhixun, her taste is usually impeccable."
If it weren’t for those three years of cold war, Jiang Zhixun was actually pretty great.
Good family background.
Handsome.
A pilot, too.
Just based on these traits, he was first-rate.
Shi Yu silently corrected herself, Shen Qingqing always had good taste, knowing to choose a man with good conditions and looks as her partner.
It was Jiang Zhixun who was at fault, who tricked her.
Otherwise, even without love between them, the marriage would still be quite good.
Chen Shaojie was a bit confused, not knowing why Shi Yu suddenly mentioned Shen Qingqing.
Seeing the teasing look in her eyes, he finally understood.
Shi Yu was complimenting him.
Instantly, he felt extremely embarrassed.
Clearly feeling waves of heat rushing to his face.
He was secretly relieved that his wheat-colored skin wouldn’t show his blush too easily.
The two of them stood by the roadside for a while.
Chen Shaojie said, "I’ll go back to see if they’re still there?"
In his heart, he still felt a bit uneasy.
What if those people left only to come back again causing trouble?
He couldn’t guard Shi Yu twenty-four hours a day, which troubled Chen Shaojie, afraid that trouble would find Shi Yu when he wasn’t around.
Shi Yu shook her head, "I’ll go stay at the guesthouse first. Once they’ve come a few times without finding me, they should quiet down for a few days."
This was not a long-term solution.
Chen Shaojie thought for a while, "What if you first change your place of residence? I’m in Beijing, and I can help you move."
Going elsewhere would require an introduction letter, and it would involve issues like food supply relationships.
Shi Yu couldn’t just leave suddenly.
First, get through this period, and once their marriage is official, they can distance themselves from those shameless people.
Shi Yu nodded without hesitation, "I’ll move near Qingqing. She’s sick and doesn’t seem to want her ex-husband’s family to care for her. Being closer means I can look out for her."
Chen Shaojie thought this was a good idea.
If Elder Jiang found out, he’d be at ease too.
"We’ll visit Elder Jiang tomorrow, and then go house-hunting."
Shi Yu nodded in agreement.
Chen Shaojie’s time in Beijing wasn’t much, and she had no work commitments these days, so she could handle anything.
She suddenly thought of something and frowned slightly, feeling troubled.
Chen Shaojie’s keen eyes noticed her frowning.
He asked, "Is there another problem?"
He was Shi Yu’s partner now, and if there was indeed a problem, he had to solve it all before leaving Beijing.
"My household registration is still with the Shi Family."
She was already an adult, and Shi Yu was considering if she should find a chance to separate from them completely.
Becoming the head of her own household would make things much easier no matter what she did.
Chen Shaojie was accomplished, with a good job.
Another family might be happy for their daughter.
But the Shi Family couldn’t see her doing well and would definitely find ways to sabotage.
There’s a chance that when they got their marriage certificate, they’d hide the household registration booklet, deliberately causing her trouble.
Having witnessed the Shi couple’s shamelessness, Shi Yu didn’t need to be too explicit for Chen Shaojie to understand what she meant.
"When are you planning to take care of it? I’ll go with you."
Dealing with those people, one unavoidable spat would erupt.
If Chen Shaojie went along, Shi Yu worried that if a fight broke out, Chen Shaojie would get dragged into the trouble.
"I’ll go back to get the household registration booklet while they aren’t home."
Being protected by her, Chen Shaojie found it both amusing and touching.
"Trust me; your partner isn’t someone who acts recklessly."
Shi Yu helplessly spread her hands, "It’s not about us being reckless; those people are just too good at stirring up trouble!"
Chen Shaojie fully agreed.
Just hearing those words made him angry, let alone being in Shi Yu’s position as the person involved.
Thinking this way, he suddenly felt Shi Yu was a true gentleman, only arguing verbally but not resorting to a fight!
He didn’t push her to fight with others.
When circumstances aren’t in your favor, retreating is also a sensible strategy.
Chen Shaojie thought Shi Yu was very smart.
"They’re shameless, so I’ll protect you all the more."
He was persistent, so Shi Yu could only agree for now.
Exactly what to do, they’d figure out later.
Not wanting to be disturbed by the Shi Family, Shi Yu decisively went to the guesthouse where Chen Shaojie was staying and opened another room.
She had a home yet couldn’t go back.
This made Chen Shaojie feel even more heartache for her.
Determined to help Shi Yu resolve her difficulties before returning to the Northwest.
It’s a pity Old Jiang hadn’t been transferred back to Beijing, otherwise he could have asked Old Jiang to look after Shi Yu.
Thinking of Jiang Zhixun’s predicament, Chen Shaojie felt sympathetic towards him.
They were the four closest friends.
Lin Zhidong had a child.
He and Cheng Jingliang had partners.
Only Old Jiang had become a lonely elderly man...
Once Shi Yu was settled in the guesthouse, Chen Shaojie went out to make a phone call.
The whole production team had only one phone, and after waiting a long time, he finally got in touch with his family.
Mother Chen was quick-tempered, "Son, how did the matchmaking go? Did the young lady take a liking to you?"
In Mother Chen’s eyes, intellectuals in Beijing were formidable.
No matter how accomplished her son was, he was still a rural kid.
City girls might not fancy him.
Chen Shaojie nodded and realized those on the other end couldn’t see him, so he said "yes."
"She did take a liking to me."
A loud laugh came from the other side.
Chen Shaojie found it amusing, "Is it that exaggerated?"
"If only we had the means, I’d light fireworks to celebrate!"
Her son had been reluctant to attend matchmaking, and if delayed further, it might turn out poorly.
She never expected him to be so capable, to attract a city girl.
Mother Chen instructed him, "Miss Shen is your matchmaker. You should give her a thank-you gift and treat her to a meal."
Chen Shaojie had already planned to do that.
"I’ll treat her before leaving Beijing."
Mother Chen reminded him, "You can’t just prioritize your convenience. You have to check the other person’s schedule too. Ask Miss Shen in advance when she’s free, then arrange the meal."
Chen Shaojie agreed to everything.
Phone calls were expensive, and Mother Chen usually spoke only three or four sentences to save money.
This time, she spoke for more than ten minutes.
Even after hanging up, she felt there was more she hadn’t said.
