Chapter 12 Ex-Husband Jiang Xun

The newcomer had delicate features, fair skin, and held a stack of books in his arms, exuding a strong scholarly aura.

Ruan Wenhui looked at him, her face inexplicably flushed, her voice softened, and she subconsciously asked, “You… what are you doing looking for Shu Qingyao?”

Before the man could finish speaking, Jin Zhuang’s rough voice boomed.

Jin Zhuang laughed and asked, “Teacher Jiang, why are you here today?”

Jiang Xun took out a letter of introduction from the pages of his book and said gently to Jin Zhuang, “This is a letter of introduction from my father. I heard that a female educated youth is coming to the elementary school to be a music teacher, so I came by to deliver it.”

Jin Zhuang took the letter of introduction and smiled, “Thank you, Teacher Jiang!” Then he called Shu Qingyao over, “Shu Qingyao, take the letter of introduction to the elementary school. Get everything done today, and you can start teaching!”

Shu Qingyao, wearing a floral dress, walked out from the crowd and looked up at the man standing in front of Jin Zhuang.

She was a little incredulous, but also a little bit of a realization, looking at the young man in front of her with a gentle smile, Shu Qingyao’s eyes gradually turned cold.

Standing in front of her was her ex-husband!

She still remembered Jiang Xun telling her that he came from a mountain village, had never had enough to eat or wear since he was a child, and his family was poor, but he was diligent and ambitious, and through his talent and perseverance, he became the only college student in his village in the 1970s!

When she met Jiang Xun, he was already a lecturer at a public university. After they got together, Jiang Xun resigned and went to work for her father.

Her father, Shu Jianguo, also admired Jiang Xun very much. He thought that this young man, although he had climbed up from the bottom, was persevering and could endure hardship. When the two of them were together, they did not encounter any obstacles from their elders. In fact, because of Jiang Xun’s background, the Shu family was very considerate of him and were willing to pile resources on him.

Even her father was fooled by this man, let alone her!

But what was the reality?

Looking at the man in front of her, who was about twenty years old, dressed neatly, wearing a watch, with jet-black hair, obviously someone who had never suffered hardship since childhood and was well-nourished, Shu Qingyao clenched her fist tightly.

This man didn’t tell a single truth!

She remembered that when she was with Xie Hezhang, it was because of Jiang Xun’s fabricated background that her relatives were extremely wary of Xie Hezhang, thinking that he was another phoenix man from a mountain village, and that she had fallen into the same trap again.

Even she was wary of him because of Jiang Xun’s matter. When they got married, they both signed a prenuptial agreement, and if they divorced, Xie Hezhang wouldn’t get a penny from her family!

Later, after they had been married for a while, their relationship warmed up, and Xie Hezhang transferred all his assets to her name. Only then did she realize that the Shu family’s assets were simply not enough compared to Xie Hezhang, an internet tycoon.

Of course, this was all a later story.

Thinking back to the time when she and Xie Hezhang first got married, and the grievances Xie Hezhang had suffered, Shu Qingyao couldn’t help but want to gnash her teeth!

If Shu Qingyao really hated anyone in her life, besides Ruan Wenhui, it was her hypocritical ex-husband who had cheated her family out of most of their assets!

And at this moment, what shocked Shu Qingyao the most was that Jiang Xun and Xie Hezhang were actually from the same village.

Did they know each other?

Xie Hezhang had never told her!

If they knew each other, did Xie Hezhang know her from a very early age…

Jiang Xun looked at Shu Qingyao who walked out from the crowd, a flash of amazement in his eyes.

The female educated youth in front of him had fair skin, thick, black hair tied into two dark braids that hung down to her chest, and a pair of large, bright eyes like those of a fawn, as if they contained a pool of spring water, with a natural charm that belonged to a young girl, while her slightly chubby, melon-seed face gave this charm a girl’s purity and innocence.

A creature that blended the qualities of a woman and a girl.

Jiang Xun’s gaze swept over Shu Qingyao’s clothes and dress, landing on the silver watch on her wrist, then quickly retracted. He said to her gently and politely, “You must be Shu Qingyao. I’m going to the school now, and it’s on the way. Do you want to pack up, and I’ll take you there?”

Shu Qingyao reached out and took the letter of introduction from Jin Zhuang, her tone indifferent, “No need. I have something to finish, and I know the way.”

Shu Qingyao’s answer seemed to make Jiang Xun stunned for a moment. He seemed to have not expected her to refuse, but he quickly recovered his composure, pushed up his glasses, and smiled, “Then, Teacher Shu, see you at school.”

“Jiang Xun!”

A clear female voice called out Jiang Xun’s name from outside the door. Shu Qingyao looked out and saw a bright and beautiful woman with fair skin, holding a few books, standing at the door of the educated youth dormitory, “How long are you going to stay inside? Didn’t you say you were going to accompany me to class?”

The woman had a fashionable long, curly hairstyle, wore a slightly fitted sky-blue dress, was tall and fashionable, and attracted the attention of several male educated youths in the room, who kept looking back at her.

“Coming!” Jiang Xun responded, nodded to Shu Qingyao, “Then I’ll go first.”

Then he walked out, and some faint conversation could be heard.

Woman: “Jiang Xun! Are you crushing on another female educated youth again?”

A voice with a hint of coquettishness.

Jiang Xun smiled helplessly, “Yuan Yuan, you’re always talking nonsense. It’s not good for other girls’ reputations…”

“I don’t care, I have my eye on you, you can only be mine, I don’t allow you to flirt with any other woman!”

…

The arrival of Jiang Xun and Tong Yuan caused a heated discussion among the educated youths.

“Tong Yuan is messing around with the son of the village secretary again?”

“A school teacher, and the son of a village cadre, isn’t this normal?”

“Tong Yuan seems to have become even prettier.”

“I think she’s not as pretty as Shu Qingyao…”

…

So she was Tong Yuan.

Shu Qingyao recalled the woman’s face and curled her lips.

The woman who had chased after Xie Hezhang, then disdained Xie Hezhang’s background, deliberately spread rumors that Xie Hezhang was harassing her, which led to Xie Hezhang being even more discriminated against by the villagers.

Now she has her eye on Jiang Xun?

Two people with bad character getting together, it’s a waste of resources, but they’re self-consuming.

So Jiang Xun had this going on in the countryside, and he never lacked for women.

Shu Qingyao snorted and glanced around, only to see Ruan Wenhui standing at the door, looking in the direction of Jiang Xun, her face tanned by the sun, flushed red, making her look dark and red.
