Chapter 333: I Don't Want to Let Her Go
Jiang Budu was silent for a few seconds, then he let out a short laugh and asked instead of answering, "You're in contact with Song Yi so frequently? It seems like you've made a significant breakthrough."
Fu Xijing didn't give him a chance to change the subject: "What do you mean by Tang Qing?"
He usually doesn't ask much about his friends' love lives. Although Jiang Budu's private life is messy, everyone has his own way of living. As friends, they should respect each other and there is no need to interfere.
But this time Song Yi was involved, so Fu Xijing had to ask a few more questions.
Jiang Budu smiled and said to Fu Xijing, "Don't worry, my situation won't affect you and Song Yi. When she came to talk to me, I even praised you a few words to her."
Fu Xijing: "What are you praising me for?"
Jiang Budu: "Of course you're praising me because I'm different."
He paused, "But this is also true, it can't be considered a compliment. Anyway, you don't have to worry about her getting angry at you. On my side—"
"It's not entirely because of this." Fu Xijing interrupted Jiang Budu, "Answer my previous question first."
Jiang Budu: "When did you become so concerned about me?"
Fu Xijing: "Don't interrupt."
Jiang Budu was quite surprised. They had known each other for so many years, and he had always been the one giving advice and suggestions on Fu Xijing's relationship.
This was the first time Fu Xijing took the initiative to ask about his relationship issues.
After being surprised, Jiang Budu finally gave him an answer: "It's nothing special. I just feel like I haven't gotten tired of playing with her yet and don't want to let her go."
The unconcealed and bad reasons are very much in Jiang Budu's style.
However, this answer failed to convince Fu Xijing: "You haven't looked for her for such a long time, why do you suddenly want to let her go? Who provoked you?"
"Oh, you know me so well." Jiang Budu laughed nonchalantly, "I'm really touched."
Fu Xijing: "Stop being disgusting and speak human language."
"Okay, let's get back to the topic." Jiang Budu deliberately kept the topic a secret. "Let me make it clear first, don't force me to let her go after you find out."
Fu Xijing was completely confused by Jiang Budu, and his voice sounded a little impatient: "What does it have to do with me? Why would I force you?"
"Because Tang Qing is interested in Gu Zhongzhou." Jiang Budu finally gave the answer.
After hearing this, Fu Xijing fell silent and frowned.
After a while, he asked, "How did you know that?"
Jiang Budu: "The look in her eyes when she looked at Gu Zhongzhou, anyone who is not blind can see it."
Thinking of Tang Qing's eager gaze clinging to Gu Zhongzhou, Jiang Budu's tone of voice unconsciously became sarcastic. "It's really interesting. I've known her for three or four years now, and I thought she wasn't interested in anyone. But once she saw Gu Zhongzhou, she didn't even bother to hide anything."
"You're jealous." Fu Xijing calmly exposed Jiang Budu.
Jiang Budu snorted, "Not really, I just can't stand it."
Fu Xijing also chuckled, "If you can't stand every woman you're with even liking someone else, you're busy enough."
Jiang Budu was choked by Fu Xijing and didn't say anything for a long time.
Fu Xijing: "You like her, right?"
Although his experience in relationships between men and women is far less than Jiang Budu's, he has experienced the same psychological state as Jiang Budu before and can be considered an experienced person.
When he met Song Yi again and saw her discussing marriage with Xu Shengwen, he thought he was just not tired of playing and couldn't stand it.
"Think it over carefully as soon as possible and don't follow my old path." Fu Xijing rarely spoke to Jiang Budu and advised him, "If you like her, don't marry Gu Yan. It will be very troublesome."
Jiang Budu: "If you don't marry Gu Yan, marry her?"
Fu Xijing: "Is there a problem?"
Jiang Budu: "I'm not as love-brained as you."
He smiled, sounding nonchalant. "She's just a woman. Even if I really like her, the novelty will wear off after a while. Besides, do you think the ones in my family would agree to let her in?"
Fu Xijing: "It depends on your attitude."
Jiang Budu is not the only son of the Jiang family. He has an older brother who is already married, and it is also a marriage of convenience.
If he had been more assertive and refused the marriage proposal, his parents would have compromised.
However, judging from Jiang Budu's attitude, he seemed to have never considered canceling the marriage, nor had he thought about marrying Tang Qing.
Jiang Budu: "Come on, I can't do something like falling out with my family over a woman. It's just marriage, the same as anyone else's - look at Shan Zhan, he had such a big fight with his family over Qiao Qiao's mother, but he still got divorced in the end."
Love or not is not that important.
Jiang Budu did not deny that Tang Qing was indeed a little special to him, but he would not do anything for a woman. This has never been his style.
Feelings are the most uncontrollable thing. Who can guarantee that they will only love one person in their lifetime?
It's not worth risking everything for one person or a relationship.
Fu Xijing's thoughts on this point are completely different from Jiang Budu's.
But he didn't think of convincing Jiang Budu. After a long silence, he asked him sharply, "Have you considered Tang Qing's position? What will she do after you get married?"
Jiang Budu: "I won't treat her unfairly."
Fu Xijing: "What about the Gu family? Gu Yan's actions this time must have been supported by them. Do you think they can tolerate Tang Qing?"
Jiang Budu: "If you can't accommodate me, then find someone else. I don't have to marry Gu Yan."
"I've already contacted her," Jiang Budu told Fu Xijing about his decision. "If it happens again, forget about this marriage."
Fu Xijing listened to Jiang Budu talking about marriage as if it were business, and felt helpless as if he was talking to a deaf person.
But on second thought, it's normal for him to be like this.
As Jiang Budu said, this is the case in their circle. Almost all couples are united by interests, but they are not together in appearance and have their own affairs in private.
And those who ignore their family’s opposition and marry for love do not have a good outcome.
The Fu family is a living example.
——
Not long after Jiang Budu finished talking to Fu Xijing on the phone, he received a call from home.
It was his brother Jiang Mozhou calling.
Jiang Budu: "Brother, what do you want to talk to me about?"
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Mozhou's voice was somewhat solemn: "Dad asked me to notify you to come back."
When Jiang Budu heard Jiang Mozhou's tone, he knew that something was wrong.
His heart sank a little, "Okay, I'll go back for dinner."
Jiang Mozhou lowered his voice: "Did you have a fight with Gu Yan because of the people outside?"
It turned out to be because of this matter.
Has Gu Yan already gone to the Jiang family to complain?
Before Jiang Budu could answer, Jiang Mozhou continued to ask, "Who is it? Are you—"
"No, it has nothing to do with this." Jiang Budu interrupted Jiang Mozhou's question, "I had a quarrel with Gu Yan because she didn't listen to my warnings and kept interfering in my affairs."
"That's it for now. We can talk about the rest when we get back." Jiang Budu didn't say much to Jiang Mozhou. He left this sentence and hung up the phone.
Jiang Budu threw his phone on the table, leaned back in his chair, raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, his head aching.
