Chapter 1450: Chapter 1016: Full-time Mother’s Counterattack 24 (Four Thousand Words)
Qi Qi awkwardly nodded at him: "Thanks for the support!" Then she turned her head and leaned against the snow pile beside her, saying nothing more.
She had no idea why, but from the moment he started introducing himself, she felt strange inside, almost like they were fellow villagers or something.
She didn’t plan on looking for anyone else; she already had a hard time with three kids on her own, and had never thought of adding another burden, especially since she had been in the military and knew how busy they were.
His child was ten years old, undoubtedly with elders to care for. If he wanted to marry, wouldn’t it mean she would have to run around taking care of people?
No way, she couldn’t dare do that.
As for Shang He, he actually had some feelings for Qi Qi, especially now with just the two of them. He indeed had been paying attention to her for a long time, thinking she was an ambitious and strong-willed woman. He had a daughter, she had a son, and the two kids were about the same age. Weren’t these good conditions?
Besides, he was a squad leader and a local in Beijing. His parents were retired officials, he had a house and a car, and from a social status perspective, he wouldn’t really disgrace her.
When he introduced himself just now, she also shared her basic situation. Did that mean she was also considering finding someone else?
Thinking of this, Shang He couldn’t help but ask her: "How many years have you been divorced?"
Qi Qi, who had been resting her eyes, suddenly opened them when she heard this, but didn’t look back. Instead, with a voice that even she didn’t notice had turned cold, she said: "Six or seven years, I guess?"
"Never thought of finding another one?"
Qi Qi sneered, finally getting to the point: "Not looking, with three kids and one elder at home, it’s hard enough for me. Why would I find someone else to serve a whole family? I’m not that foolish. I can work hard on my career alone; I’ve got a father and a nanny at home to take care of the three kids. I think it’s quite good like this."
"Three kids? Don’t you only have a ten-year-old son?"
"Oh, forgot to tell you. My brother’s two kids are also with me. Their mom died, and their dad works away from home. As their aunt, I surely have to..."
"You mean your incompetent brother? I saw online comments saying he forced your mom to death?"
It was true, this person was indeed an old fan. There weren’t many who knew about the trouble her brother and ex-husband caused her before!
Even though what he said was true, why did it sound so strange coming from a stranger’s mouth?
"A prodigal son worth more than gold when he turns back, let alone blood relatives? He’s become responsible now,"
"If you ask me, you still need to be careful; if he can even do that to his own mom..."
"Mr. Shang, this is my family business, and we don’t need to discuss it like this, do we? Although you’ve followed me for years, to me, you’re still a stranger. If it weren’t for this snow disaster, we might never have had the chance to meet. Perhaps I’m just overthinking it? I can clearly state my position now."
"I know what my family is like. Even if he’s terrible, it’s our own family matter, unrelated to outsiders, so there’s no need for your concern. Also, I won’t remarry. Someone who’s been hurt by marriage once is absolutely not looking for more trouble. Moreover, right now I have a house, a car, a career, and the only thing missing is a Beijing Household, which I can get sooner or later, not needing to rely on a Beijing man to achieve this."
As she said this, she didn’t even turn her head. She had been leaning against Shang He’s back, but because of the sudden trouble, she instinctively moved away from him.
Although Shang He was a soldier and an officer, there were still intrigues in the military, and she could sense his male chauvinism in a few words. Maybe his ex-wife didn’t divorce him because of long-term separation? Could it be because of other reasons? No one is perfect, and every profession has those with good and bad morals; some just hide it deeper.
This was the first time she met someone like Shang He, just when she had the chance, he showed such impatience as if she were a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Was it because she had money?
Fortunately, the awkward atmosphere didn’t last long before she was rescued by the rescue team. As for the person behind her, she just expressed her gratitude lightly and was carried off on a stretcher to the hospital.
Later, she asked Li Xingchen to investigate this person and found out his mother had cancer and urgently needed money for treatment. Moreover, his marriage with his ex-wife seemed to be due to domestic violence.
