Chapter 484 I hate you the most

Compared with Jiang Budu, Tang Qing's eyes and facial expression were very calm. She was used to not showing her emotions, but when she heard this question, she was somewhat surprised - the topic change was too abrupt and she couldn't keep up with the pace.

But she soon realized it. She had known Jiang Budu quite well over the years. He was used to being the center of attention. No woman would not be moved when getting along with him. However, she found a boyfriend so soon after breaking up with him after being entangled with him for several years. He was unwilling to accept this, so he asked this question.

In fact, how could she not be moved? At that age when she had just entered the society, she had very little experience in love. When she met a master like Jiang Budu, no matter how much she reminded herself to stay sober, she could not control herself and was deeply involved.

Jiang Budu is heartless and fickle, but when he is nice to someone, he is really nice to them. No one can resist whoever he wants to coax.

At that time, she was sent to Haicheng to study. Because she had just graduated, she was at the bottom of the food chain in the unit where seniority was the key. She had to do almost all the chores and was busy even on weekends.

One weekend, she worked all night long on statistical data. The next morning, Jiang Budu, who had said he was going on a business trip, suddenly came over. Seeing her with dark circles under her eyes, holding a computer and making a spreadsheet, he asked her with a gloomy face what was wrong and why she was doing work that was not her job and working all night long on the weekend.

She knew that her boss was exploiting her, but as a newcomer to the bank, it was normal for her to do these things. She didn't want Jiang Budu to interfere in her work - but as luck would have it, her boss called just as Jiang Budu finished asking.

Jiang Budu snatched her phone away and answered it, turning on the speakerphone. Then he heard his boss urging her to finish the work and send the email quickly, with a very bad attitude.

Tang Qing knew that Jiang Budu had a bad temper, so he quickly responded and hung up the phone.

Jiang Budu looked at her anxious appearance, pinched her face with disappointment, and said that she was useless.

Tang Qing could only nod in agreement and then quickly changed the subject.

She thought the matter was over, but unexpectedly, when she went to work after the weekend, the manager who led her was criticized by his superiors and came to apologize to her in person.

Tang Qing was not stupid. She immediately guessed that it was Jiang Budu who did it, so she asked him about it the next time they met. After listening, he just smiled and said to her: Don't worry, our relationship has not been exposed, and I won't let others say anything about you.

She was only 25 years old that year, new to the workplace, and was on edge in a high-pressure environment. How could she remain indifferent when she suddenly heard such words?

She was so moved that her eyes were sore and she thanked him many times. Perhaps because she was too excited, he was helpless and held her face to wipe her tears, and patted her back to comfort her, just like coaxing a child.

He also said: "If anyone in the industry bullies or exploits you again in the future, I will solve the problem for you. You are here to work, not to do odd jobs."

During that time, she had really dreamed naively, hoping to become the special case in his life.

But the reality is cruel, the prodigal son will not return, and the sea king will not come ashore. Her expectations were dashed again and again, and she gradually became numb. She simply put away all her emotions in front of him, neither sad nor happy.

There are some things that don't need to be said and only bring shame upon yourself.

In Jiang Budu's words, she was like a half-dead person. He didn't have much patience, and after she maintained this state for a few months, he was completely fed up with her. Although he didn't say it was over, he went to see her less and less often.

…

"Tang Qing, I'm asking you a question." The person in front of him was silent for too long, and Jiang Budu gradually lost his patience.

His eyes became even redder, and the veins on his forehead bulged hideously. "Is there?"

Tang Qing came back to his senses, raised his eyes, met his eyes again, and shook his head.

It existed before, but it's gone now. But there's no need to let him know. The relationship between them is not a normal one. It's good enough as long as they are both well.

"Why?" Jiang Budu did not accept this answer and asked unwillingly.

Tang Qing could only answer truthfully: "You and I are from different worlds. We have different values."

Jiang Budu treats marriage as a business negotiation. As he said before, even if they get married, it will not affect their relationship - he believes that it is normal to have a "home" outside after an arranged marriage, and there are no basic moral constraints.

Although Tang Qing did not think that marriage was a sacred thing, she knew that getting married meant being responsible for the relationship, and not cheating was the basic bottom line. If one loved to play around, then it would be better not to get married.

It is normal for people to have different ideas. It takes time for adults to form their values. She did not overestimate her own abilities and tried to change him. She could only stay away from him.

"What's the difference?" Jiang Budu asked again, "Are you talking about Gu Yan's matter?"

Tang Qing was silent for a few seconds. "Is Miss Bai coming? If not, I'll make an appointment with her another day."

She didn't want to stay here and discuss these meaningless topics with him anymore.

"My engagement with Gu Yan has been cancelled. It was called off shortly after you resigned." Jiang Budu ignored her and continued, "Everyone in the circle knows that the timing wasn't right before. It will be announced to the public in a few days."

Jiang Budu was observing Tang Qing's expression while he was speaking.

She didn't react, not at all.

It felt like I was listening to something that had nothing to do with me.

Jiang Budu looked at her indifferent expression, his breathing becoming heavier and heavier: "Don't you have anything to say?"

Tang Qing: "These are all your personal matters. I'm here to talk about work today."

"Tang, Qing." Jiang Budu gritted his teeth and called her name, his eyes red as if they were about to bleed. "Do you know that I hate you the most when you are like this?"

"Oh, I see." Tang Qing said calmly, "Then I won't bother you anymore. I'll leave first."

"If you leave, Bai Ruan will have to give up her endorsement completely." Jiang Budu threatened her when he saw her about to stand up.

Tang Qing looked at him and said, imitating his previous tone, "I hate you like this, too."

She has always been emotionally stable, and even when Jiang Budu took the initiative to pick a fight, she rarely quarreled with him. But now she can't stand it anymore - he is really inexplicable.

I thought Jiang Budu would be angry after hearing this, but he wasn't.

He looked at her with a complicated expression. He was silent for almost a minute before he asked in a hoarse voice, "Then why didn't you ever say anything?"

Tang Qing: "Is it useful?"

Jiang Budu was choked by her question.

The box fell into silence again.

After a few minutes, Tang Qing suddenly covered his stomach.

Jiang Budu's eyelids twitched, "What's wrong with you?"

Tang Qing didn't answer him, but picked up the chopsticks to pick up the shrimp dumplings.

She was so hungry that her stomach hurt. She had been wasting time arguing with Jiang Budu and hadn't eaten a single bite.

Jiang Budu saw Tang Qing's intention, picked up two shrimp dumplings for her first, and placed the plate in front of her.

"You didn't eat on time again?" he asked.
