Chapter 373 It's Not Me
But Song Yi was still nervous after hearing this question. They had quarreled too many times before, and they had finally gotten back to harmony recently. She didn't want any misunderstandings to occur again.
After considering for a moment, Song Yi grabbed his arm and said, "I'm not pregnant. This medical record—"
"Tang Qing is pregnant, right?" Fu Xijing took over her words.
Song Yi's pupils trembled in shock. He moved his lips but couldn't say anything for a long time.
Fu Xijing knew that Tang Qing was pregnant? How could he even know this?
If Fu Xijing knew, then Jiang Budu——
"Don't worry, Jiang Budu doesn't know yet." Fu Xijing seemed to have the ability to read minds and immediately dispelled Song Yi's worries.
Song Yi breathed a sigh of relief, but was still shocked: "How did you know?"
"When you came back from dinner with them that day, I saw the purchase record of early pregnancy test strips on your phone's food delivery app." Fu Xijing smiled, "I thought you were pregnant."
Song Yi frowned at first, but after a few seconds, he suddenly realized: "So you said you wanted my aunt to come and take care of me, because -"
"Not entirely. Even if you're not pregnant, you can't work too hard." Fu Xijing said, "Auntie has already interviewed. She'll come over for a trial this weekend. You can try her cooking and see if you like it."
Song Yi nodded. Now was not the time to talk about her aunt's cooking skills. "Why didn't you ask me directly when you saw the record?"
Fu Xijing: "I thought you wanted to give me a surprise."
Song Yi: “…” What a huge mistake.
But: "How do you know it's Tang Qing's?"
Fu Xijing: "I thought you were pregnant, so I bought some books and sent them to the company. Jiang Budu was there when I received them."
When Song Yi heard Jiang Budu's name, he felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.
Fu Xijing: "He heard that you might be pregnant and was very jealous. He kept asking me to confirm it."
Song Yi: "Confirm what?"
Fu Xijing: "He said he found a pregnancy test stick in Tang Qing's bag. It had two bars."
Song Yi took a breath.
Tang Qing never mentioned this matter, which means she didn't know that Jiang Budu had discovered it, and Jiang Budu didn't question her.
This is not going to be easy.
Song Yi frowned and didn't speak for a long time.
Fu Xijing lowered his eyes and stared at her for a while, "She doesn't plan to have this child."
"No normal person would want it." Song Yi's expression did not soften. "Jiang Budu already has a fiancée. What's the point of scheming to get Tang Qing pregnant?"
Fu Xijing pondered for a moment and asked her, "What if Jiang Budu and Gu Yan cancel their engagement?"
Song Yi glared at him: "Why so many ifs? Do you want to speak for him?"
Fu Xijing waved his hand, "Of course not, I'll listen to you."
Not to mention that he himself did not agree with Jiang Budu's views on love, even if he did, he would not risk angering Song Yi to help Jiang Budu.
"Even if Jiang Budu and Gu Yan's engagement is over, there is nothing legitimate between him and Tang Qing, and he will not marry Tang Qing. Why should Tang Qing bear the stigma and take the risk of having children? It's really too much!" Song Yi became more and more angry as she spoke, but she didn't have Ying Xing's ability to curse, so even if she was angry, she couldn't say anything too harsh.
"You are not allowed to tell Jiang Budu about this." Song Yi warned Fu Xijing.
Fu Xijing nodded in agreement, and then reminded him: "But even if I don't tell him, Tang Qing will know after the operation."
"It won't matter after the operation is over," Song Yi said. "She is mentally prepared for all this."
Fu Xijing: "Does Tang Qing dislike Jiang Budu so much?"
Abortion surgery is very harmful to the body.
I’ve always heard people say that after a woman becomes pregnant, she will naturally develop a bond with the baby in her belly and will be reluctant to let go.
It's a biological instinct.
Tang Qing was so decisive that she made an appointment for surgery right after confirming her pregnancy.
Speaking of this, Song Yi sighed.
She and Ying Xing had discussed Tang Qing's feelings towards Jiang Budu privately several times.
Tang Qing and Jiang Budu met in Haicheng back then. Song Yi mostly heard about that past from Ying Xing.
When Tang Qing was sent to Haicheng, he had just graduated with a master's degree less than half a year ago and was a newcomer in the workplace. In a place like a bank where seniority is the key, he was bound to be bullied.
She was assigned to Haicheng, and was basically caught and forced to do whatever work she wanted.
Because she was young and beautiful, the leaders of the bank would take her out for social events, letting her drink with the bosses of those companies and please them.
This is a very common thing in the workplace.
This is how Tang Qing and Jiang Budu met.
However, her leader arranged for her to drink with an old man that day, and the old man touched her inappropriately. In the end, Jiang Budu rescued her and sent her back after the dinner.
The beginning of this story sounds quite beautiful. At that time, Tang Qing had just entered society, and it must have been difficult for him to remain unmoved when he received such kindness.
It is said that Jiang Budu pursued her for a while, and then the two became entangled.
It is almost impossible to say that Tang Qing has absolutely no feelings for Jiang Budu - Jiang Budu may be a scumbag, but he is really good at coaxing women, otherwise so many people wouldn't want to conquer him even though they know he is a playboy.
It’s just that Tang Qing is too rational—because she knows that Jiang Budu will not give up the marriage for a woman he is interested in.
That is real benefit.
"What about Jiang Budu?" Song Yi came back to his senses and asked Fu Xijing, "I don't see how much he likes Tang Qing. He can't even show him the minimum respect."
Fu Xijing smiled and said, "He needs to be stroked."
From this point of view alone, he and Jiang Budu are actually somewhat similar.
"Then he should find someone who can cooperate with him. Why does he have to make things difficult for Tang Qing?" Song Yi had a headache. "If Tang Qing wasn't afraid that her parents would worry..."
"If Jiang Budu proposed to marry Tang Qing, do you think Tang Qing would agree?" Fu Xijing asked this question out of the blue.
Song Yi: "How is that possible?"
Fu Xijing: "Disagree?"
Song Yi: "I mean, how could Jiang Budu possibly propose to marry Tang Qing?"
Fu Xijing smiled and said, "Who knows what will happen in the future?"
He said, "If Jiang Budu knew that Tang Qing had a child, he might marry her to keep the child."
"That's nothing." Song Yi frowned. "By then, his family will think Tang Qing used her child to get to the top. I don't know how they'll squeeze her, and others will inevitably gossip about her behind her back. Don't you know what's going on in your circle?"
Song Yi was also deeply touched. "If I were not a member of the Jiang family, and we were together now, other people would not say anything good about me behind my back."
"If that's the case, it only shows that I'm incompetent." Fu Xijing touched her hair. "Other people's evaluation of you is determined by my attitude. They are very smart."
"So, if Jiang Budu treats Tang Qing well, no one will bully her."
Song Yi: "You say that as if Jiang Budu can really do it."
"After all this talk, you still have to speak up for your good brother." Song Yi slapped his hand away, "You are in cahoots with each other."
Fu Xijing: "..."
