Chapter 294: Don't bother me
Song Yi naturally knew the reason why Jiang Budu asked this question, so he nodded and said, "Mr. Gu is quite good."
Jiang Budu raised his eyebrows, with an amused look on his face, as if he was gloating over someone else's misfortune.
After answering the question, Song Yi also glanced at Fu Xijing out of the corner of his eye. His face was a little tense, and it was obvious that he was still affected and was enduring it.
If it was before, he would not have endured it like this.
Gu Zhongzhou didn't notice this, but smiled and said to Jiang Budu: "Song Yi is very good, now it depends on my performance."
Jiang Budu laughed twice, "Okay, then you should perform well and try to catch her."
Gu Zhongzhou: "I'll borrow your good words."
"Well, you guys go sit down first?" Gu Zhongzhou reminded him with high emotional intelligence, "I'll have the manager greet you."
"No need." Fu Xijing, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke again. He rejected Gu Zhongzhou's proposal lightly, "You guys continue. I won't disturb you anymore."
After saying this, he winked at Jiang Budu, and the two of them left together.
Song Yi looked at Fu Xijing's back and thought of his words "I won't bother you anymore" just now, feeling dazed - it was so unlike him.
"You and Ajing must have had quite a bit of contact." Song Yi's thoughts were interrupted by Gu Zhongzhou's voice. "I heard before that Aunt Qing likes you very much."
Song Yi came back to his senses and nodded, "Aunt Qing is very good to me."
Gu Zhongzhou: "Yes, my parents always thought that Aunt Qing would introduce him to you."
Song Yi: “…”
Fortunately, Gu Zhongzhou did not dwell on this topic. He said a few simple words and then returned to their previous conversation.
"My newly invested resort will have a soft opening next week. Would you like to go over there?" Gu Zhongzhou invited Song Yi. "You can soak in the hot springs and enjoy the fireworks show. It's a great way to relax."
Song Yi considered and hesitated.
Of course I was moved, but since I had just met Gu Zhongzhou, if I went there alone——
"You can ask your friends to come along." Gu Zhongzhou seemed to see her concerns and added later.
Song Yi couldn't help but sigh again that he had high emotional intelligence and was really thoughtful.
"Thank you in advance." Song Yi and Gu Zhongzhou thanked him, "I'll ask them about their time."
Gu Zhongzhou: "You're welcome. We are already partners in deep strategic cooperation, so it's only natural."
Song Yi was amused by his description.
…
On a table not far away.
Jiang Budu pretended to be flipping through the menu, but in fact he was secretly watching the situation at Song Yi and Gu Zhongzhou's table.
Fu Xijing is in the same situation.
However, the expressions of the two people were very different.
Seeing Song Yi and Gu Zhongzhou chatting so happily, Fu Xijing couldn't help but hold the menu tightly. His already tense expression became even more gloomy at this moment.
Jiang Budu looked at Fu Xijing with a playful expression, as if he was enjoying the fun. "Not bad, Mr. Fu, your ninjutsu is quite good."
Fu Xijing glanced at Jiang Budu coldly and said, "Order your food."
Jiang Budu: "Are you hungry? I thought you were full of anger."
Fu Xijing: "Get lost."
Jiang Budu sighed, "Oh, what a rage."
Now he didn't dare to lose his temper with Song Yi, so he became the punching bag.
Jiang Budu flipped through the menu and ordered a few dishes. After ordering, he poured Fu Xijing a glass of ice water and said, "Come on, cool down."
Fu Xijing picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp. After finishing it, he realized that the glass was filled with lemonade, and a sour taste remained on his tongue.
Jiang Budu said at the right moment: "Lemonade, it suits your current mood."
Fu Xijing: "..."
Seeing Fu Xijing's murderous look, Jiang Budu stopped and said with a smile: "I just saw that you were in a bad mood and wanted to ease the atmosphere."
After a pause, Jiang Budu began to comfort Fu Xijing: "I think it's unlikely that Song Yi will be with Gu Zhongzhou. Her parents won't force her. You——"
"I should prepare for the worst." Fu Xijing interrupted Jiang Budu in a low voice.
He glanced at Song Yi out of the corner of his eye, crossed his fingers, and pursed his lips: "Her parents won't force her, but she will force herself."
Jiang Budu pondered Fu Xijing's words for a moment, then sighed, "Don't mention it, it's true."
A big part of the reason why Song Yi wasted so much time with Xu Shengwen was because he wanted to make Song Lansheng feel at ease.
Later, Song Lansheng had Jiang Jiang, and she returned to the Jiang family. She felt a little better for a while.
However, some time ago, Song Lansheng and Jiang Jiang found out about what happened when she was studying abroad.
Now the two elders feel extremely guilty about her, and naturally they are worried about her love life. They hope that she can find someone worthy and settle down completely.
The two elders may not force Song Yi, but Song Yi knows their intentions and will definitely try his best to satisfy them.
That's just her personality.
Thinking of this, Jiang Budu's expression became much more serious. He lowered his voice and asked Fu Xijing, "What's your worst-case scenario?"
Jiang Budu thought about it from Fu Xijing's perspective and found that this matter was quite difficult to handle.
Taking by force would definitely not work, but if we don't stop them, what if Song Yi really marries Gu Zhongzhou - we can't just rely on Gu Zhongzhou to do something weird like what happened in the border town last time, right?
They are quite familiar with Gu Zhongzhou. This guy's private life is really clean. He is either fishing, hiking or walking the dog in private. There is no way there could be any problems.
"I promised her that if she met the right person, I wouldn't stop her." Fu Xijing looked down at his water cup. "I'll keep my word."
Jiang Budu: "...So, what you're saying is that even if Song Yi and Gu Zhongzhou fall in love and get married, you'll accept it?"
Fu Xijing said "hmm".
Jiang Budu was choked by him and couldn't respond for a long time.
It is really hard to imagine that Fu Xijing would actually do such a great drama of fulfillment.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Budu reminded Fu Xijing: "If you agree to this, Song Yi might still think that you don't love her at all."
Human hearts are so contradictory.
Sometimes we say that we don’t want the other party to bother us too much, but if the other party really lets go, we feel empty and lost.
At this time, the waiter came to serve the dishes and the conversation was interrupted.
Until the end of the meal, Fu Xijing did not answer Guo Jiangbudu's question.
But not answering doesn't mean he doesn't have an answer in his heart.
——
On Saturday morning, Song Yi came to Song Lansheng and Jiang Jiang to have dinner with his parents.
I just met Gu Zhongzhou yesterday, and we couldn't help but talk about this topic when we met.
Jiang Jiang: "How was our meeting yesterday? Did you get along?"
Song Yi nodded. "He's quite good at chatting. We get along pretty well."
Song Yi didn't say whether she wanted to date him or not, and Jiang Jiang didn't push her either. He just said, "Let's get to know each other for a while before making a decision. Take your time."
The family of three had just chatted for a few words when guests arrived at their home.
When Song Yi saw Ji Qingyuan and Fu Qingyun coming over with things, he subconsciously looked behind him.
Her reaction was clearly seen by Fu Qingyun.
Fu Qingyun put the things down with a smile and greeted Song Yi: "You're back. How's your health?"
