Chapter 323 You Are Really Unreasonable

Jiang Budu stopped moving and caught her breath. "Will you leave or not? You have thirty seconds to make your choice."

It is called making a choice, but in fact it is still a step-by-step coercion.

From the moment he asked her parents to visit her in prison, Tang Qing knew that she had no choice.

"How long will it take?" Tang Qing shifted his gaze elsewhere, his voice filled with deep fatigue and weakness.

She really didn't want to be entangled with Jiang Budu anymore. It had been almost four years since they were in Haicheng.

Now she is thirty years old and doesn't have many more four years to spend with him.

"That depends on your performance." Jiang Budu whispered in her ear, saying harshly, "If you behave a little, I might get tired of you soon."

——

Half an hour later.

Tang Qing sat in the back seat of the business car, his head buzzing as he looked at the scenery receding outside the window.

After staring out the window for a while, the man next to her hugged her in his arms.

Tang Qing didn't look back and continued to stare out the window, but his attention was no longer focused.

"Why don't you send a message to Song Yi and Ying Xing to let them know you're safe? They're very worried about you." Jiang Budu reminded her and considerately handed her phone to him.

Tang Qing took the phone but didn't move.

She took a breath and said, "I'll contact them when I get home."

"I don't think I told you to go home." Jiang Budu said lightly.

As soon as he said this, Tang Qing successfully turned his head and looked at him.

There was a strong sense of defensiveness and vigilance in her eyes, as if she was asking him: What do you mean?

"Since you're following me, of course I have to control your life," Jiang Budu arranged without allowing any objection. "You'll live with me from now on, and I'll handle your resignation at the bank."

Tang Qing clutched the phone tightly and asked him coldly, "Why are you asking me to resign?"

If she hadn't had a shred of rationality left, she would have probably hit him again - she had studied for a long time to get the bank job, and she couldn't say she liked it or enjoyed it very much, but it was the result of her years of hard work.

She had finally gotten to this position and she had future career plans, so why should she stop just because of his words?

"Is it enough for me to get you out of the CBRC?" Jiang Budu's tone was also impatient. "Just understand, without my help, you will never be able to find a proper job in the future, let alone a bank job."

"If you hadn't helped, I wouldn't have been taken away by the CBRC." Tang Qing's mind was clear, and she wouldn't be brainwashed by such rhetoric: "Don't make it sound like you really saved me."

The situation is tense and tit-for-tat.

Jiang Budu laughed at Tang Qing's words. He didn't bother to explain: "I'm not discussing this with you. I'm informing you that from now on your job is to serve me. I'll pay you double the salary you would get from a bank. Is that enough?"

Tang Qing broke free from his arms and turned to look out the window again.

I don't want to communicate with him at all.

It was impossible for Jiang Budu to understand her, let alone look at things from her perspective. If he really wanted to, he would not do such a thing.

Tang Qing took a few deep breaths to adjust his mood, then picked up his phone, opened WeChat, and reported his safety to Song Yi and Ying Xing in the group.

Tang Qing: [I'm out. Nothing's wrong. Don't worry.]

Song Yi: [Has the report been withdrawn? Where are you now?]

Ying Xing: [Are you home yet? What do you want to eat? Song Yi and I will come find you.]

Tang Qing: [No, I didn't sleep last night, so I need to get some sleep first.]

Song Yi: [Alright, then you should have a good rest and contact me when you wake up.]

After reporting that he was safe, Tang Qing put away his phone.

She had not yet told Song Yi and Ying Xing about Jiang Budu's threat to her. It was not because she was trying to hide it, but because she didn't know how to start the conversation.

Her mind is in a mess now and she needs time to accept the current situation.

Jiang Budu had no intention of letting her go. Even if Song Yi really asked the Jiang family to deal with him, it seemed there was no way to change his decision.

Unless he wants to let go.

Later on the way, Tang Qing didn't speak to Jiang Budu.

Jiang Budu was probably angry because of her previous attitude, so he ignored her all the way.

The car drove for more than half an hour and stopped at the new city villa area.

Tang Qing was dragged out of the car by Jiang Budu and entered the villa.

This is Jiang Budu's usual residence, and there is no sign that he lives alone in the house.

Although he is a playboy, he has a clear sense of boundaries, pays special attention to his private space, and never brings women with him.

Even Tang Qing came to his place for the first time.

She originally thought that Jiang Budu would just find a place to put her, or take her directly to a hotel.

However, Tang Qing was very clear-headed. She did not think that she was special to Jiang Budu just because he brought her here.

Entering the living room, Jiang Budu changed his shoes, sat on the sofa, and leaned back.

"You'll live here from now on. Come and pick up your luggage tomorrow," he said.

Tang Qing walked over and sat down opposite him.

After thinking it over, she regained some of her sanity and began to negotiate: "I can continue to play with you until you get tired of me, and I'll move in, but I can't quit."

She needed her job, it was something she had to keep.

"You have no choice," Jiang Budu said. "You have to quit your job at the bank."

Tang Qing pursed her lips into a line. She didn't say anything, but her resistance was already obvious.

Jiang Budu could naturally see it as well.

He said, "If you want to work, I can arrange something else."

Tang Qing: "Is it right under your nose, so you can monitor it easily?"

This is no different than quitting your job.

Jiang Budu: "Why, you really don't want to be under my nose? What shameful things do you want to do?"

Tang Qing: "You are really unreasonable."

Jiang Budu: "Since you know I'm unreasonable, don't try to reason with me."

"I have to quit my job at the bank. There's no room for negotiation on this matter. There's no need to waste your breath on me. Even if Song Yi comes to see me, the result will be the same."

Jiang Budu really wanted to keep Tang Qing under his watch.

It's too easy for banks to have problems. Even someone as careful as her was tricked once. No one can guarantee that such a thing won't happen again.

This time he was able to find evidence to get the person out, but he may not be so lucky in the future.

Besides.

After this incident, many people in the bank knew about their relationship. Even if Tang Qing went back to work, there would be no shortage of rumors behind his back.

It would be better to resign and enjoy a quiet life.

Anyway, with her work ability, she won't have to worry about having nowhere to go after leaving the bank.

But Tang Qing didn't understand his intention at all and thought he was being arbitrary. Jiang Budu was furious when he heard this and didn't explain to her.

Anyway, his image in her mind was so bad that even if he explained, Tang Qing would only think that he was making excuses.

If you have done evil, then do it to the end.

"Okay, I'm not in the mood to argue with you anymore. Go upstairs, take a shower, and come down to eat." Jiang Budu pointed in the direction of the stairs.

Tang Qing didn't respond to him. He stood up and went upstairs without looking back.

"You ungrateful bastard." Jiang Budu looked at her back and cursed in a low voice.
