My Happy Daily Life After Being Reborn-Chapter 327 - 33 Shen Xiu’s Grievance

To say that Lin Xiaoguai’s beauty was uncommon even in the city,

After her divorce from Shen Chi in her previous life, she refused the money he offered. Her savings over the years were also not enough to buy a decent apartment, so she rented a place near the magazine company where she worked. Walking to and from work was just a few steps away, which was very convenient.

In the eighties and nineties, people were relatively more genuine, but there are no absolutes, and there were inevitably one or two exceptions.

Lin Xiaoguai’s appearance not only attracted the admiration and pursuit of others but also attracted those with ulterior motives.

She could hardly remember that man’s specific appearance now, only that he wasn’t particularly tall, of average build, and his face could only be considered fair. Regrettably, his frivolous eyes were his downfall.

The identity of the other party, however, remained unforgettable. He was the son of the family of the Disciplinary Committee Secretary of Shanghai, with his grandfather and uncles serving as officials in the central government. Not to mention Shen Chi, who had risen to the rank of Major General solely through his own efforts, even the commander of the garrison had to show deference.

She did not want to recall the details of the incident but one scene was deeply embedded in her memory.

In the dim night, as that man ran out of patience and was about to forcefully pull her into his car, Shen Chi appeared before her and fiercely beat the man up.

Just a moment before, her indifferent gaze had still been fixed on the passing vehicles in the middle of the road, intending to end her life there.

That night, they did not speak a word. She did not thank him, and Shen Chi only quietly looked at her once before escorting her back to her rented apartment.

After that, she deliberately avoided any news about him, but one day she learned from a news broadcast that his life had once hung by a thread. It had started from a conflict with the son of the Disciplinary Committee Secretary, who then maliciously ran him over with a car. He was fortunate to survive, but the Disciplinary Committee Secretary was implicated by his son and was transferred to the Qingshui Government.

She had thought about visiting him in the hospital, but ultimately did not have the courage. In fact, she did not even have the courage to learn about the process of the incident, afraid to entangle herself further.

The relationship between her and him was complicated with unclear debts of gratitude and revenge. She had no intention of retaliating against him, nor the ability to repay him.

"What’s wrong?" Shen Chi asked, noticing her sudden distraction.

"Nothing, just thinking about the past," Lin Xiaoguai said with a light smile.

Shen Chi immediately stopped asking. Although they were now quite harmonious as husband and wife, he always lacked the courage to bring up the past, fearing it would remind her of his shortcomings.

This was probably his only cowardice.

Although Shen Chi’s injuries were not minor this time, his recovery was good, and with various effective medicines provided by Lin Xiaoguai, he almost fully recovered in less than a month, to the amazement of the doctors in the hospital.

After being discharged from the hospital, those relatives and friends who, due to the military hospital’s rules, could not visit him while he was hospitalized began to visit.

Lin Xiaoguai was busy serving tea to guests when she suddenly received a call from the gatehouse.

"Xiuxiu, why are you here?"

She hurried to the gatehouse, and seeing Shen Xiu, who was dusty and holding her little nephew, Lin Xiaoguai couldn’t help but ask in surprise.

"Hello, aunt," Cheng Tiantian said courteously.

"Hey, come here, let auntie hold you," Lin Xiaoguai quickly took her nephew into her arms.

Shen Xiu, looking exhausted, said, "Sister-in-law, can we go back first?"

Lin Xiaoguai paused and then said, "Alright, come with me."

She had not seen Xiuxiu for two years. Last year she was pregnant and couldn’t return, the year before Shen Chi was on a mission and was not at home, and Xiuxiu was busy at the hospital. On holidays, while everyone else could take compensatory leave, they could only make shifts.

But this time, Xiuxiu didn’t even call beforehand and just brought her child over. How is it with work, and what about home? Did her brother-in-law know she was coming?

Lin Xiaoguai had many questions, but seeing Shen Xiu’s lack of interest, she held back from asking.

When they arrived home, several subordinates who had come to visit were still there. Luo Yufang quickly greeted them and scolded Shen Xiu, "What’s the matter, why did you come suddenly without even notifying us?"

"Grandma, can you not talk about it right now? I’m very tired and want to rest first," Shen Xiu said quietly.

Luo Yufang was taken aback, noticing that her granddaughter’s mood was off, and quickly said to Lin Xiaoguai, "I’ll take Xiuxiu to rest, Wanwan, you go entertain the guests."

Shen Xiu didn’t pay attention to the guests she mentioned and followed Luo Yufang upstairs.

Once at home, without outsiders around, the family indeed wanted to pull Shen Xiu aside to understand everything clearly, but since she was sleeping, they instead turned their attention to Cheng Tiantian.

"Tiantian, why did mom bring you here?" Shen Mincheng asked first.
