Speaking of Xu Sijin’s ex-husband Sha Jianqi, Mrs. Xu looked peculiar, “Xiao Sha was originally not bad. At such a young age, he became the Vice Chairman of the Union. If it were not for this mishap, his future would have been limitless. It’s baffling how he got involved with that kind of woman.”
She still couldn’t understand. Her son-in-law didn’t seem like a foolish person, with a bright future ahead, how could he do such a thing?
Moreover, with her own daughter as a comparison, how could he have taken a liking to a woman who was a widow with a child?
Thinking of the previous rumors, she quickly snapped back to reality. Regardless, that matter has already passed.
“It’s a failing of Xiao Sha’s parents, not guarding him properly, but didn’t your father take your side in the end? I heard after he was fired from his job, no company wanted to employ him. He just stays at home drinking all day, he’s practically ruined. Betraying my daughter, he deserves such an end.”
And not just staying at home drinking all day?
Xu Sijin knew more.
That man, after being fired and divorcing her, actually started living with that woman.
A widow with a child—had he really chosen to live with her?
The memory of that day resurfaced in her mind.
Originally, she had brought her best friend to catch Qin Yang cheating.
The man she couldn’t have, she wouldn’t let others have him intact.
Even if they were married, she wanted to disgust them thoroughly.
As expected, as soon as she and her friend arrived at the rental house, they heard sounds of passionate lovemaking inside.
That woman sounded like a cat in heat, loud and unrestrained, completely disregarding it was broad daylight in a street-facing rental house.
Was it because the woman had been a widow for too long, starved for too long, or was it because the man was exceptionally virile?
Thinking of the latter possibility, Xu Sijin was overwhelmed by emotion, feeling that woman was getting too good of a deal.
But when she saw the passersby, who heard the sounds and couldn’t help but show disdain and disgust, she felt secret elation.
She wished she could drag Lin Chuxia over to witness the scene herself.
Just as the noises inside escalated one after another, Xu Sijin pushed open the door.
The bare naked figures, seeing them made Xu Sijin’s blood boil, that high and mighty man was pulled down from his pedestal, from then on he was just a man of clay.
Back then, he looked down on her, but now, tainted as he was, how good could he really be?
But when she saw clearly the man who turned his head at the noise, her blood ran cold.
Xu Sijin thought she was mistaken—how could that face have turned into her husband, Sha Jianqi?
Then, a colleague beside her exclaimed, “Vice Chairman Sha,” letting Xu Sijin know this was not her illusion.
She never expected that her husband would betray her.
And at that moment, Sha Jianqi, completely oblivious, his eyes seemingly saw them but looked unfocused as he lowered his head to continue what he was doing.
As if he was controlled by something.
Xu Sijin thought about the drug she gave that woman, feeling a chill over her body.
She had been manipulated by that wretched woman.
But everything was too late, the commotion had alarmed even more people, forcing her to make a decision.
She couldn’t let this issue implicate her, she could only take the wrong as right.
But thinking about it now, Sha Jianqi living with that woman was enough to prove the man’s lousy nature.
And more importantly, his capabilities.
A Vice Chairman of the Union who couldn’t even handle a simple task well, and dragged himself down too.
He indeed deserved such an end.
“Sijin, Sijin?”
Mrs. Xu’s voice brought her back to her thoughts, her face filled with anticipation, “What do you think of Xiao He?”
“What do you mean what do I think?”
Which Xiao He? Xu Sijin didn’t know any Xiao He at all.
“It’s the Xiao He I just mentioned to you, don’t look down on Xiao He having a child, it’s just a daughter, when she grows up she can get married off, and once you and Xiao He are married, you can bear him a son, Xiao He wouldn’t care about that girl then? Xiao He has a stable job, he’s even a director, marrying him, you’re guaranteed to have good days…”
Xu Sijin: “…”
Although she had divorced Sha Jianqi, she had never had children.
Was her mom actually setting her up with a divorced man who already had a child? Was she expecting her to become a stepmother?
Is this something a real mother would do?
Coldly putting down her chopsticks, Xu Sijin stood up, “I said I’m not getting married, and I’m certainly not going to be anyone’s stepmother.”
“You won’t marry? Do you want me and your mother to support you for the rest of your life?” Mr. Xu glared and shouted.
“So you and mom think I’m a burden, so you find such a man for me, trying to throw me out? To be someone else’s stepmother, I’d rather stay single.”
Seeing the father and daughter about to argue again, Mrs. Xu quickly intervened, “How could we harm you? Xiao He is genuinely a good person, don’t just see that he has a child, if he wanted to, he could find a prime unmarried girl, with his conditions you’re still not satisfied, what more do you want?”
What more do you want?
What she wanted had always been one person.

Chuxia eventually went back to the dorm first, took her meal box, and headed to the cafeteria to get food.
Despite only having come to the Northwest a few times, Master Chen in the cafeteria and Chuxia were already well acquainted.
Today’s dinner in the cafeteria was stir-fried sour string beans and steamed buns, and Chuxia also asked Master Chen to help stir-fry some meat dish.
After it was ready, she carried the dinner back, and Qin Yang had just returned to the dorm, parking his motorcycle at the dorm entrance and wiping it with a cloth.
They had traveled quite a bit today, and the motorcycle was covered with a layer of dirt.
“Back so soon, I thought it’d be later.”
His colleagues, a bunch of engineering guys, many had handled vehicles, genuinely liked cars.
“Worried you’d be waiting anxiously, I came back, besides, what’s the use just looking, and they dare not ride, they are cowards.”
Although Qin Yang said this, Chuxia knew that if anyone really wanted to ride his motorcycle, he would be heartbroken.
It’s because vehicles are precious nowadays, a tiny bump could cost a month or two’s salary, even if allowed, no one dares to ride.
If it were like future times with more vehicles, faced with thick-skinned people, Qin Yang would probably put up a sign on his motorcycle: Wife and Vehicle, not for loan.
“Let’s wash hands and eat first.”
Chuxia set the table and discussed with him.
“When you have time, please invite your colleagues over, last time you were injured, everyone was really worried, I should make some gesture since I’m here.”
Qin Yang nodded, “Still go to the cafeteria?”
They could only arrange for something lively there since they lived in a dorm.
Chuxia had no objections, she would just give Master Chen a heads-up when the time came.
Master Chen was easy to talk to, especially when money makes things smoother.
The two made plans, waiting for Qin Yang to invite his colleagues.
But who knew, the plan changed the next day.
His colleagues had already tasted Chuxia’s cooking, and since Qin Yang took the initiative to invite them, they naturally did not want to miss the chance.
Despite difficulties, they could completely overcome them.
