Chapter 313: Unwilling
Seeing Song Yi's expression, Ying Xing immediately went to Tang Qing for approval: "Do you think what I said makes sense?"
"Yes." Tang Qing nodded.
It just so happened that she also wanted to remind Song Yi about this matter: "Mr. Li, please be more careful."
Song Yi had no choice but to explain: "He really has no interest in me, it's just..."
"He may not be interested in you. He may have other motives." Tang Qing said, "He is a businessman. It is impossible for him to be so pure and not care about gains and losses and be so warm to someone for such a long time."
"If he's from North City, he might know your identity and want to ask the Jiang family for help through you." Tang Qing told Song Yi his previous speculation, "Otherwise, why would he spend energy to maintain contact between you two when you haven't even met?"
He was just an ordinary neighbor with whom he had a brief interaction, and was not worth spending so much time on him.
Adults' time is very precious. Since Mr. Li is busy with work, his time will only be more valuable.
After hearing Tang Qing's analysis, Song Yi's eyebrows twitched - it really made sense.
Although her working environment is relatively simple, she also knows that people will not be nice to others for no reason. She previously thought that Mr. Li had no one around him to talk to, so he wanted to find her to be a tree hole.
But Tang Qing's guess is obviously more reasonable.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it." Song Yi nodded.
Tang Qing: "Does he talk to you often?"
Song Yi: "Not often, just a few words occasionally, just casual chats, never mentioning my family matters."
Tang Qing: "Just make some preparations first."
"If you don't want to help, just refuse directly. Don't be embarrassed." She knew Song Yi's character too well, so she deliberately added one more sentence.
Song Yi: "Yeah, okay."
She was indeed not good at rejecting others before, but now she will not subconsciously sacrifice her own feelings to fulfill others.
If Mr. Li really wanted to be with her for this purpose, she would refuse when he made a request.
After all, something that can make him spend so much time and energy should not be that easy to accomplish.
…
The three of them sat under the canopy and chatted for a while, and the barbecue grill was almost ready.
When they sat down to eat, as mentioned earlier, Song Yi and Ying Xing surrounded Tang Qing in the middle.
The three seats here were full, so Gu Zhongzhou could only sit opposite Jiang Budu.
Jiang Budu could certainly see what Song Yi and Ying Xing were intending.
After he sat down, he glanced at Gu Zhongzhou beside him and teased: "Gu Er, it seems that your position in Song Yi's heart is not that good."
Gu Zhongzhou: "As she should be. I've only known her for a few months, and they've been together for over ten years."
When Ying Xing heard what Gu Zhongzhou said, he immediately gave him a thumbs up.
After seeing this, Gu Zhongzhou nodded and smiled at Ying Xing.
Song Yi and Tang Qing looked at Gu Zhongzhou at the same time.
Jiang Budu's attempt to tease Gu Zhongzhou failed, and he happened to catch a glimpse of Tang Qing staring at Gu Zhongzhou, and his eyes unconsciously darkened.
Haha, are your eyes on Gu Zhongzhou?
When she followed him before, even when they were facing each other in bed, she would never actively stare at him.
Every time I close my eyes or look somewhere else.
If he hadn't forced her to turn around, she wouldn't have looked at him, let alone met his gaze.
When it came to Gu Zhongzhou, she didn't care.
Jiang Budu admitted that he had a bad nature in his bones - Tang Qing had said before that she wanted to break up with him, and Song Yi had specifically warned him. He didn't want to have a bad relationship with Song Yi, so he never looked for Tang Qing again.
It’s not that I was really scared by Song Yi’s words.
I just feel that it’s not worth affecting my interpersonal relationships for a woman.
He was interested in Tang Qing, but he was not a love-brained person like Fu Xijing who would do anything for a woman.
After breaking up with Tang Qing, Jiang Budu never contacted her privately. When they met at work, they pretended not to know each other and basically did not speak except for necessary exchanges.
But today, when he saw Tang Qing and Gu Zhongzhou sitting together and smiling at him, the resentment in Jiang Budu's heart was magnified countless times.
People are unwilling to give up on people and things that they have not successfully conquered.
Tang Qing followed him for a year in Haicheng, and followed him for more than a year after returning to Beicheng, but he was too lazy to even give him a smile.
Now she smiled brightly at Gu Zhongzhou.
Jiang Budu suddenly didn't want to let her go.
If he really intended to take action against Tang Qing and force her, there would be plenty of ways to make her compromise.
Song Yi couldn't protect her.
…
Jiang Budu's thoughts were pulled back by Gu Yan's voice.
Jiang Budu came back to his senses when he heard Gu Yan calling his name. At that time, Gu Yan had already stopped beside him.
"Hello, Mr. Gu." Gu Yan greeted Gu Zhongzhou and asked, "Do you mind if I sit down and eat with you?"
Although she asked this, she had already pulled out a chair and sat down next to Jiang Budu while she spoke.
Even if Gu Zhongzhou wanted to say that he minded, he couldn't, and in the end he could only nod.
Jiang Budu glanced at Gu Yan, his expression slightly impatient, "Why are you here?" "I missed you." Gu Yan naturally took Jiang Budu's arm, and said in a delicate tone, "If you're not with me, nothing I do will make any sense."
While interacting intimately with Jiang Budu, she glanced at Tang Qing opposite her, as if declaring her sovereignty.
Song Yi and Ying Xing were speechless.
Ying Xing even silently cursed "idiot". Was she afraid that Gu Zhongzhou couldn't see that there was something going on between Jiang Budu and Tang Qing?
Of course Gu Zhongzhou saw it.
If I had doubts before, now seeing Gu Yan's behavior, I can basically be sure.
I used to think that Jiang Budu’s look at Tang Qing was a little strange.
Gu Yan's hostility gave him the best explanation.
But Gu Zhongzhou has high emotional intelligence and is capable, so he naturally wouldn't embarrass Tang Qing, so he tried to smooth things over with a smile.
"Boss Jiang, this is your problem," Gu Zhongzhou said, "Since you two have been to a world of two, I will ask the restaurant to arrange a separate meal for you."
"Mr. Gu, you're too polite. No need to bother." Gu Yan glanced at Tang Qing again, "We can just eat here. It just so happens that I haven't had barbecue for a long time."
Gu Zhongzhou: “…”
Song Yi looked at Jiang Budu calmly, reminding him with his eyes to take the person away quickly.
Jiang Budu didn't move and poured Gu Yan a glass of juice.
Gu Yan was flattered. She hugged Jiang Budu exaggeratedly and kissed him on the cheek, "Thank you, dear."
"Fuck." Ying Xing couldn't help but spit out a curse word, "I want to vomit."
She didn't control her voice well, and everyone at the table heard it.
Gu Zhongzhou put down the cup and looked at her with his hands covering his mouth, a smile faintly in his eyes.
Jiang Budu and Gu Yan both looked a little ugly.
