Chapter 264 Small-minded

After the breakup, Shen Qingqing stopped paying attention to the Zhou family's affairs.

Several meetings with Zhou's mother ended unhappily.

She hadn't inquired about the Zhou family.

They were both in Beijing, but they completely disappeared without a trace.

Li Xue: "His fiancée, I heard, was chosen by Zhou's mother herself. She was educated, but she didn't get into university."

"However, Zhou's mother must like her very much. She praised her for being virtuous, family-oriented, efficient, and a good daughter-in-law who can take good care of her son."

Li Xue's tone was a little strange in her last sentence.

The expression on his face was indescribable.

"Those who know her think she's choosing a daughter-in-law, but those who don't might think she's hiring a nanny for her son. This kind of mother-in-law is the hardest to deal with; she'll always find fault and fault with you."

Shen Qingqing had already experienced firsthand whether Zhou's mother was easy or difficult to please.

"Everyone has their own way of living, as long as they are happy with it."

Li Xue nodded, "Dr. Zhou is successful, and the Zhou family is well-off. The woman should be quite happy. I heard that she often visits the Zhou family elders and accompanies Zhou's mother shopping."

Shen Qingqing didn't care about these things.

Li Xue said she would just listen.

Seeing her calm expression, Li Xue teased, "No wonder he looked so out of sorts, he's not like the person I remember. He must be heartbroken."

Shen Qingqing: "It's normal to have emotions, just don't get stuck on them."

Li Xue: "He agreed to get married, so he must have thought it through himself."

But he came to find Shen Qingqing in person and acted as if he still couldn't forget her, which Li Xue felt was unfair.

If his fiancée finds out, she'll definitely have some thoughts about it.

However, it's none of her business what other people do.

I can only think about it in my heart.

"If your husband Jiang knew, he would definitely be jealous again."

Shen Qingqing smiled and said, "Let him be so sour. He's the one who's suffering."

Jiang Zhixun took the gifts that Zhou Hansheng had sent back earlier, and no one knows where he put them.

I didn't see Shen Qingqing at home.

I didn't ask.

She is satisfied with her current situation and does not want to let people and things from the past affect her and Jiang Zhixun's life.

Jiang Zhixun is prone to jealousy, but he is actually quite easygoing and doesn't really consider Zhou Hansheng an enemy.

Shen Qingqing loves to tease him, but she won't use Zhou Hansheng as a raft.

That's disrespectful to Zhou Hansheng and Jiang Zhixun.

It also shows a lack of respect for herself.

Meanwhile, Jiang Zhixun also learned that Zhou Hansheng was getting married.

Qin Wenqiang told him.

Qin Wenqiang works at the court, not at the same company as Zhou's father, but he made a point of getting to know him because of Shen Qingqing.

And so, he learned about Zhou Hansheng's marriage.

Jiang Zhixun had long since stopped competing with Zhou Hansheng.

He's already married, so if he keeps talking nonsense, his wife will find him annoying.

Or perhaps I'll remember how good Zhou Hansheng was.

He won't even have time to cry then.

He would never do something as foolish as pushing his wife to someone else!
"He's getting married, why is he telling me all this? Does he expect me to give him a wedding gift?"

Although Qin Wenqiang couldn't see Jiang Zhixun's face, he knew that the man was definitely chuckling to himself.

"Qingqing might be going to make a move."

Jiang Zhixun paused, "What do you mean?"

"Zhou Hansheng has returned to China. Do you think he will go to see Qingqing?"

There's no reason for ex-partners to meet again.

But if Zhou Hansheng gets married, wouldn't sending her a wedding invitation provide an excuse?

Qin Wenqiang was just saying it casually and wasn't quite sure.

Previously, Zhixun complained to him that Zhou Hansheng was "still harboring wicked intentions" and was sending gifts to Qingqing.

Now that he's back in China, Qin Wenqiang thinks it's highly likely that Zhou Hansheng will go to see Shen Qingqing.

Jiang Zhixun snorted, "They're about to get married, and he's still bothering other people. That just shows that Zhou Hansheng isn't very good. Qingqing doesn't like him, so it's no use meeting him."

Qin Wenqiang: "I didn't say that Qingqing liked him."

Jiang Zhixun's tone was firm, "Qingqing just doesn't like it." As Shen Qingqing's bedmate, Jiang Zhixun knew who she had in her heart right now.

The tension that had been building up inside me eased. "If he really does invite me, then I'll give him a gift. I should at least wish him well, right? After all, Qingqing worked at the publishing house for those few years, and her boss took good care of her."

Qin Wenqiang asked in surprise, "You're so carefree?"

Jiang Zhixun: "I have a broad mind."

The person on the other end of the phone chuckled, "Not being jealous is so unlike you."

Jiang Zhixun felt ashamed.

He is prone to jealousy, but that doesn't mean he'll disregard everything else when he's consumed by jealousy.

He said, "Let my mom represent Qingqing at the banquet. She's busy with work, and I have to plan my time in advance to call her. She definitely won't have time to attend the wedding."

Qin Wenqiang was both amused and exasperated. "I overestimated you. You're still as petty as ever!"

So what if you're petty?

Knowing full well that someone else coveted his wife, he still sent her to his rival.

Isn't this a hole in the brain?

Jiang Zhixun said seriously, "He sent Qingqing an invitation just to collect money as a gift, right? Let my mom go and give me one too."

Qin Wenqiang was speechless. "You're really asking for trouble."

"He sent my wife an invitation, doesn't he owe me one?"

Qin Wenqiang: "That's just speculation."

Jiang Zhixun snorted, "If he doesn't invite anyone, he can save some money on wedding gifts."

Qin Wenqiang was both amused and exasperated.

This guy becomes childish whenever it comes to Qingqing.

After saying a few more words about other things, I hung up the phone.

Jiang Zhixun called home.

Just then, Shen Qingqing finished her dinner party and returned to the compound.

Upon hearing Jiang Zhixun's voice, Jiang's mother called out, "Qingqing, come answer the phone, Zhixun is looking for you."

Shen Qingqing came downstairs wearing slippers.

She walked quite fast, her footsteps were heavy, and Jiang Zhixun, with his good hearing, actually heard them.

Shen Qingqing had only uttered one word when the man on the other end criticized her, "Be careful going up and down the stairs, don't walk so fast."

Shen Qingqing felt awkward for a moment.

Anyone who didn't know better would think she was a child, needing him to remind her even of things like this.

She said gently, "I was in a hurry to answer the phone. I'll take my time next time."

She instantly appeased Jiang Zhixun.

The man's expression was ambiguous, as he asked, "You miss me that much?"

Jiang's mother was sitting not far away, and Shen Qingqing didn't want to say it directly, so she just said, "Yes."

"I miss you as well."

A deep voice reached my ears.

Perhaps because they hadn't spoken on the phone for several days, Shen Qingqing was actually a little embarrassed.

He coughed lightly. "Is there anything else? If not, I'll hang up."

Jiang Zhixun understood Shen Qingqing's temperament.

Her behavior suggests that her elders were present, making her hesitant to say sweet words.

I was too embarrassed to listen.

Instead of deliberately teasing Shen Qingqing, he brought up Zhou Hansheng's wedding.

Hearing that Shen Qingqing had actually received an invitation, Jiang Zhixun was furious. "He's getting married soon, and he's going to meet someone else's wife...wife! Don't he have any shame?"

Shen Qingqing didn't respond to his suggestion, saying, "I had a meeting that day."

Jiang Zhixun snorted, "Let Mom represent my husband and me at the banquet."

Shen Qingqing: "They only invited me."

Jiang Zhixun: "Husband and wife are one. Inviting you is inviting me. Have you ever seen a family that doesn't allow family members to bring their guests to a banquet?"

Shen Qingqing didn't refute, "Alright, I'll listen to you."

Jiang Zhixun: "Give me two gifts. Now that I know the news, I should also show my appreciation."

Shen Qingqing spat, "Looking for trouble."

Hearing this, Jiang's mother teased, "Aren't you husband and wife as one now?"

Jiang Zhixun: “…”
