Chapter 489 I Don't Want Anyone But Her

Jiang Mozhou smiled, "Okay, I understand."

Fu Xijing: "You don't need to bother investigating her. She has no interest in Jiang Budu, and they have nothing to do with each other now."

Jiang Mozhou: "So, the second brother is also afraid that the Jiang family will look for her, so he has been hiding it from the family?"

Fu Xijing didn't answer.

Jiang Mozhou already knew what was going on: "Rest now. I won't disturb you anymore. See you tomorrow morning."

After finishing his call with Fu Xijing, Jiang Mozhou returned to the ward. He sat on the sofa, glanced in the direction of the bed, closed his eyes, and raised his hand to rub his solar plexus.

The words "How could I risk my life for a woman" that Jiang Budu said when he cancelled the engagement have now become a fierce boomerang, stabbing him.

Even if he didn't ask him, Jiang Mozhou was certain that Jiang Budu said that just to prevent them from investigating the women around him.

Although Jiang Rui and Bai Lan were not unreasonable people, they would still be somewhat angry if they knew that he did not give face to the Gu family for the sake of another woman - Jiang Budu was afraid that they would cause trouble for that woman.

As an older brother, Jiang Mozhou had never seen Jiang Budu worry so much about any woman - but that woman's attitude towards him didn't seem to like him, and Fu Xijing also said that they had no relationship now.

So what had happened between them? She looked so rational, yet she hit Jiang Budu—what had Jiang Budu done to her?

If it was just a simple betrayal, I wouldn't hate it to this extent.

These questions can only be answered when Jiang Budu wakes up tomorrow.

——

Jiang Mozhou stayed in the hospital all night. In the morning, his men brought him clean clothes. He took a shower, changed his clothes, and when he came out, Jiang Budu on the hospital bed had just woken up.

When Jiang Budu opened his eyes, his stomach was still aching slightly and his head was swollen. After seeing Jiang Mozhou, he propped himself up and sat up, looking around, and then he realized that he was in the hospital.

Jiang Budu rubbed his brows and recalled what happened last night. Then, Tang Qing's decisive words echoed in his mind again.

His breathing became heavier, and his already haggard face turned even paler than paper.

"You're awake. I'll ask the nurse to come and check on you." Jiang Mozhou rang the bell to call the nurse.

Jiang Budu: "How did you get here?"

Jiang Mozhou: "You drank so much in the restaurant that you had stomach bleeding and vomited a large pool of blood. The restaurant manager was so scared that he notified me immediately."

Jiang Budu remained silent and did not respond.

Jiang Mozhou: "I checked the surveillance footage, you didn't eat alone."

Jiang Budu laughed at himself.

It was the first time Jiang Mozhou saw him so depressed. Besides being worried, he was also more curious about what happened between them.

After a moment's hesitation, Jiang Mozhou asked him directly, "Did you cancel your engagement with Gu Yan because of her?"

"No." Jiang Budu denied without hesitation.

"You're afraid that your parents will cause trouble for her, right?" Jiang Mozhou continued to ask, as if he didn't hear his denial.

"I said no, she—"

"You're still being stubborn even at this point." Jiang Mozhou looked at him as if he were a naughty child. "Then tell me, was it because of her that you ended up in the hospital after drinking so much?"

Just as Jiang Mozhou finished asking this question, the nurse knocked on the door.

The topic was temporarily interrupted after the nurse came in.

The nurse came in and checked Jiang Budu's basic vital signs, then asked him how he felt.

"I've just recovered, and my body is still relatively weak. Remember to eat a light diet and avoid raw, cold, or stimulating foods. Stay in the hospital for a few more days for observation. Try to maintain a good mood. The stomach is also an emotional organ."

After giving some instructions and leaving today's portion of medicine, the nurse left.

Jiang Mozhou poured a glass of water for Jiang Budu and placed it on the bedside table, reminding him: "Take your medicine first. Auntie will bring you food later."

Jiang Budu: "Have you told your parents?"

Jiang Mozhou: "Your sister-in-law's aunt."

Jiang Budu said "Oh", picked up the cup and swallowed the medicine in one gulp.

He had just finished taking the medicine when Jiang Mozhou brought the topic back to the topic: "What happened between you and her? How did you break up?"

Jiang Budu sneered, "We've never been together."

It was not until now that he realized how ridiculous that relationship was - in fact, he had a lot of time, almost six years, whether in Haicheng or later in Beicheng, he had many opportunities to "make" the relationship with Tang Qing official, but he missed those opportunities because he was too concerned about his reputation.

By the time he finally figured it out and put aside his so-called pride to express his feelings to her, it was too late.

Jiang Mozhou's expression suddenly became more serious when he heard Jiang Budu's answer. If they had never been together, then there was only one other answer -

"Is she short of money?" Jiang Mozhou asked.

Jiang Budu shook his head, "There shouldn't be any shortage."

Jiang Mozhou was even more confused: "Then you——"

"I threatened her." Jiang Budu said, "She never liked me."

Jiang Mozhou: "..." Hearing this answer, it would be a lie to say I wasn't surprised.

It’s not that he has a filter for Jiang Budu, but he has always been a master in the field of love, with sweet words and romantic means at his fingertips. He is also handsome and rich. If he intends to pursue a woman, he will basically not fail.

Jiang Mozhou thought of the surveillance video and now had a greater appreciation for the woman in the video.

"She hit you in the face." Jiang Mozhou pointed at Jiang Budu's face. "You can still tell now. What did you do?"

Jiang Budu leaned against the headboard, closed his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Retribution."

Jiang Mozhou: "Why don't you tell me about the problem between you two first? Since you like her so much, try to fight for her again."

"She has a boyfriend." Jiang Budu suddenly laughed, his voice very strange.

Jiang Mozhou looked at his trembling shoulders and frowned slightly, unable to help but doubt his mental state.

"Brother, it wasn't until yesterday that I realized that I'm such a failure as a human being." Jiang Budu said this out of the blue.

Jiang Mozhou: "If you can recognize your own problems, there is still hope. Take relationships more seriously in the future. You still have a long life ahead of you."

Since she already has a boyfriend, Jiang Mozhou didn't persuade him to continue pursuing her, so as not to disturb her life.

"There's no future." Jiang Budu said, "I don't want anyone else except her."

Jiang Mozhou's expression froze for a moment. He stood there looking at him, not saying a word for two or three minutes.

He was a man who had seen many storms, but he never expected that he would hear such words from Jiang Budu in his lifetime.

I thought it was outrageous enough that he got drunk because of a woman.

Jiang Mozhou knew him too well. He had never been a loyal person. He thought that he got drunk this time just to vent his bad mood. No matter how much he liked someone, he couldn't hang on to the same tree for the rest of his life. This was also what he used to say often.

Jiang Budu looked at Jiang Mozhou's silence and laughed again, "Yeah, what I said is not very credible."

Even his brother Jiang Mozhou doesn't believe it, so how could Tang Qing possibly believe it?

So, her reaction was normal.
