Chapter 64 Obeying Orders
Jiang Zhixun's apology was perfunctory, but he couldn't hide the nervousness in his eyes.
Not getting a response from Shen Qingqing, he turned to complain to his father.
"She has been bullying me these past few days. When I talk to her, she ignores me. Don't just scold me, talk to her too."
Because of the lack of confidence, these words somehow have a sense of bluffing.
Father Jiang glared at him coldly, "Shut up."
No one stood on his side. Jiang Zhixun gathered his coat, folded his arms, and leaned lazily against the chair.
He stopped pretending to be asleep and stared straight ahead, his eyes vaguely fixed on the rearview mirror.
He wanted to say something to Shen Qingqing, but he really didn't know where to start, so he could only shut his mouth.
Father Jiang had a serious expression.
Secretly, he didn't want his son to miss such a good girl.
But now it seems that when Qingqing is with Zhixun, she is either ignored by him or subjected to his ridicule.
How can this be called a good life?
Shen Qingqing came to the compound when she was fifteen years old, and her father and Jiang's father were close friends.
In Jiang's father's eyes, he had already treated her as his own child.
If a child at home has been wronged, it would be unreasonable for an elder to keep advising her to endure it.
Jiang's father is decisive in his work and doesn't like procrastination.
Ask Shen Qingqing, "Have you really thought it through?"
Shen Qingqing nodded.
"I've thought about it."
I had thought about it before going to the Northwest.
After seeing Jiang Zhixun's bad attitude, her determination to divorce became even stronger.
In my sight, the man sitting diagonally in front of me had an even colder expression, like a piece of solid ice, emitting cold air.
Shen Qingqing curled her lips sarcastically. He was not happy about getting married, and he was not happy about getting divorced.
Is Jiang Zhixun really difficult to serve?
Or was he taking revenge on her?
Father Jiang was silent for a few seconds, "Dad respects your decision."
Looking at his son's suddenly stiff body, he said with finality: "Let's go and handle the formalities tomorrow. Once we've dealt with the serious matters, we can spend the New Year with peace of mind."
It keeps dragging on, and Qingqing is the one who feels uncomfortable.
Father Jiang didn't want to embarrass her anymore.
Shen Qingqing's expression finally changed. As long as the elders didn't interfere, this marriage would definitely be able to be divorced!
Everyone had their own thoughts and no one spoke, so they returned to the compound.
The compound has strict security measures, with soldiers standing guard at the gate.
Everyone entering and leaving must have their identity checked, and ordinary people cannot enter and leave at will.
Seeing Jiang’s father, the people on duty stood at attention and saluted.
The car slowly drove into the compound and finally stopped at the door of a small courtyard.
As soon as the car stopped, Jiang Zhixun couldn't wait to open the door.
It seemed like he didn't want to stay in the same carriage with Shen Qingqing for even a minute.
With a cold face, he took out the luggage from the trunk and walked into the courtyard first.
Hearing the sound of a car, Jiang's mother came out of the house.
He was holding a rolling pin in his hand.
Knowing that Shen Qingqing likes to eat buns, dumplings and other foods, he calculated the day and prepared the meat in advance, and is now making dumplings.
There was also chicken soup cooking in the kitchen.
Firstly, it was to welcome the young couple.
Secondly, Shen Qingqing was injured, and he wanted her to eat something good to replenish her body.
The moment she saw her biological son, Jiang's mother's eyes suddenly turned red and tears flashed in her eyes.
Haven't seen you for three years.
He became darker and thinner.
"You bastard, you haven't been home for three years. If Qingqing hadn't come to find you, would you never come back for the rest of your life?"
Jiang's mother held a rolling pin and pretended to hit Jiang Zhixun.
In the end, he just tapped him lightly.
He said hypocritically: "It's not that I can't bear to punish you, but I'm afraid you'll get hurt and it will affect my flying!"
Jiang Zhixun has good eyesight and saw the redness in his mother's eyes at a glance.
I feel really bad.
His behavior over the past three years has hurt more than just Shen Qingqing.
He did vent his anger, but it caused other trauma to others.
Jiang Zhixun felt more and more guilty.
"Mom, I'm fine."
Jiang's mother tried hard to hold back her tears, "You only report good news and not bad news! Do you know that in the past three years, I have been missing you, eating poorly and sleeping poorly, and you actually didn't come home for three years? How could you be so cruel?"
Jiang Zhixun knew he had done something wrong.
Now he can be beaten and scolded.
"I will come home to visit my family every year. Please take care of yourself and eat and drink as you please."
Jiang's mother was immediately furious. "What do you mean, you didn't apply to return to Beijing?"
When Qingqing first arrived in the Northwest, the bad boy called home and promised her that he and Qingqing would live a good life in the future.
Now he says he will go home to visit his relatives every year, and it sounds like he wants to settle down in the Northwest.
Jiang's mother was no longer calm.
"Explain to me what you mean!"
Jiang Zhixun had no plans to return to Beijing at first.
Later, he wanted to live a good life with Shen Qingqing and didn't want to live apart from her anymore.
So I also planned to apply to return to Beijing.
It’s just that his superiors said that they had an important task assigned to him, so he couldn’t be transferred back to Beijing in the next few years.
After the mission is over, if he wants to return to Beijing, he can apply again.
The education Jiang Zhixun received since childhood made it ingrained in him to obey orders.
As long as the organization needs him, he will not hesitate for a moment.
"Now is not the time."
Jiang's mother asked: "How long do we have to wait?"
“Maybe a few years.”
Jiang's mother felt dizzy when she heard this. "Why didn't you say you would never come back?"
This is the path he chose himself, and Jiang Zhixun must bear the consequences alone.
Don't refute even if you are scolded.
Touching the tip of his nose, he said, "A few years will pass in the blink of an eye, don't worry."
Jiang's mother felt suffocated as if she was disappointed in her child.
She is in no hurry.
After all, her son has a promising future, and she can understand why he can shine no matter where he goes.
But now his marriage is in jeopardy. If he doesn't return to Beijing, the possibility of saving it will be slim!
"Why don't you come back? Is it because your boss doesn't agree, or is there another reason?"
Father Jiang and Shen Qingqing came in from outside. After hearing this, they said seriously, "It's up to him to come back or not. Don't ask so many questions."
Because her husband's job is special, Jiang's mother has long developed a habit of never asking too many questions about Jiang's father's affairs.
He also knew that his questioning was out of line, so he stopped asking further questions and put his son in an awkward position.
She glanced at the luggage in Jiang Zhixun's hand and said, "Put it upstairs quickly. Mom has prepared your room for you. After dinner, you can go back to your room and rest."
After saying that, he went to hold Shen Qingqing's hand again.
"Zhixun said you were in a car accident. We were all scared to death. If your father and I hadn't stopped him, the old man would have gone to the Northwest to pick you up."
Shen Qingqing pursed her lips and said, "I'm sorry for making you worry."
"If you don't want us to worry, take good care of yourself and stop thinking about unnecessary things."
Father Jiang coughed and said, "After sitting on the train for such a long time, even the strongest person should be tired. Stop nagging and eat quickly. After dinner, let them go back to their rooms to rest. If you have anything to say, wait until they have rested."
Jiang's mother is a talkative person, and often has a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
Seeing Shen Qingqing hanging her hands, a look of distress appeared in her eyes.
"It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. You must take good care of it and put other things aside."
