Chapter 502: Redundant and Laughable
If Shi Chen accepted the cooperation, no matter how mature Tang Qing was, she would still feel uncomfortable - she wanted to completely draw a line between herself and Jiang Budu, but after this incident, it was basically impossible.
But if Shi Chen does not accept the cooperation, it means he has missed a great opportunity. Not only will he regret it, but other people in the company will also blame him. Over time, it will inevitably affect the relationship between the two.
No matter what choice they make, the end result will create resentment between them.
Thinking of this, Tang Qing suddenly laughed. Her laugh was light, but full of sarcasm.
Jiang Budu looked at her suspiciously.
"Mr. Jiang has good tactics." Tang Qing spat out five words.
Jiang Budu's eyelids twitched twice, and his heart sank a little: "What do you mean?"
Tang Qing: "You really went to great lengths to make things difficult for me."
Jiang Budu: "Speak clearly, what do you mean by I won't let you have an easy life? I told you, I did this to make you——"
"Your tactics are ever-changing, and I really can't defeat you." Tang Qing said, "You're really willing to throw such a big bait to drive a wedge between me and Shi Chen."
Jiang Budu was stunned for a few seconds before finally understanding what she meant: "Do you think I did this on purpose to sow discord between you?"
Tang Qing: "Do I have to believe that you really want him to make more money to support me?"
Jiang Budu: "That's what I originally thought."
Tang Qing snorted.
Jiang Budu: "If you don't think it's necessary, just ask him to refuse."
He looked at her sharply: "Or, are you not confident about your position in his heart and think that he will not give up this piece of fat meat for you?"
Tang Qing: "Don't let Hengyuan's people look for him anymore."
Jiang Budu also laughed, "It seems that the relationship between you two is just like this."
Tang Qing: "There's no need to explain to you what the relationship between him and I is like. Please don't be so self-righteous and give alms to others. I don't need your so-called help. Stay away from me. Thank you."
Jiang Budu: "If he can't even take your feelings into consideration in this matter, you will only suffer more if you marry him."
Tang Qing: "This has nothing to do with you."
Jiang Budu: "He can't refuse this time. If a rich woman falls in love with him in the future, there's a possibility that he'll cheat on you."
Tang Qing: "So? Your next step is to arrange for a rich woman to seduce him into cheating on me?"
She felt that Jiang Budu was not incapable of doing such a thing. In her heart, he had no bottom line and a long criminal record. It was no wonder that she had such extreme thoughts.
Jiang Budu was choked by her and almost lost his temper, but he finally suppressed it: "Can you please stop thinking about me like that? I just wanted to do something for you. You like him so much, I don't want you to get hurt."
"I don't need your self-righteous dedication. Whether I will get hurt by being with him is my own choice. If we can't be together, we will break up. I don't have to choose between you and him. Even if we don't fall in love or get married, I can still live alone. Can you stop being so moved?" Tang Qing didn't feel moved at all by his words, and even wanted to laugh.
He actually said that he wanted to do something for her.
He had many opportunities and time, but he never did it.
Now everything is over. She has a new life and a new boyfriend. His doing these things is unnecessary and ridiculous, and it also planted a bomb in her relationship with Shi Chen.
That’s really great.
Tang Qing's words just now were very heartless. She rarely spoke such long paragraphs, and every time she did, they were very hurtful.
Jiang Budu's breathing became tense as he listened. A mixture of grievance and anger surged in his chest and engulfed his brain.
When he asked Jiang Mozhou to give the project to PE for joint investment, he had not thought so much about it. He just saw Tang Qing and Shi Chen looking at houses and guessed that they might decide to settle down. In this case, let Shi Chen make more money so that Tang Qing can live a better life.
That's all.
He hadn't considered what she had just said about sowing discord and being offensive.
Even though he knew that he had a very bad image in her heart, the words just now still chilled him to the extreme, especially the sentence "Don't be so moved", which was like a sharp knife, piercing his heart and making him bloody.
"Okay, I get it." Jiang Budu was silent for a long time, then struggled to find his voice again. "But Tang Qing, I'm really not as dirty as you think. I was the bastard before, but now I just want you to live a good life. It's okay if you don't want to be with me."
"As for this project, Hengyuan's affairs are not my responsibility. I'll ask my brother later. It seems that it's too late to withdraw."
As soon as Jiang Budu finished speaking, the waiter came over to serve the dishes.
The two of them fell silent in tacit understanding. After the waiter finished serving the dishes and walked away, Jiang Budu spoke first: "Eat something first. You look a lot thinner recently."
Tang Qing didn't reply to him. She picked up her bag and left without looking back.
Jiang Budu looked at Tang Qing's departing back, his hands clenched into fists. He wanted to chase her, but he could only watch her walk away.
Every movement, expression, and word she just spoke was filled with disgust towards him. Jiang Budu had been in this circle for many years and was the best at reading people's emotions and expressions. He could tell whether a person liked him or not just by saying a few words.
At this point, it's no wonder Tang Qing is so angry. No matter how she maliciously interprets his behavior, it's all his own fault. Tang Qing doesn't have paranoia. If he didn't have a long criminal record, she wouldn't think so.
Jiang Budu curled the corners of his mouth in self-mockery, and after Tang Qing drove away, he looked away.
Jiang Budu picked up his phone and called Jiang Mozhou.
The call was quickly connected, and Jiang Mozhou spoke first: "I sent someone to PE this morning, and they said they need to think about it."
Jiang Budu: "She just came to see me."
Jiang Mozhou was silent for a few seconds: "She knows?"
Jiang Budu smiled and said, "She thinks I'm throwing bait to drive a wedge between them."
Jiang Mozhou: "Why do you say that?"
Jiang Budu: "She said I was self-righteous and self-indulgent, and she didn't need me to be nice to her."
This sounded a bit excessive, but Jiang Mozhou thought about Tang Qing's previous experience and could understand it. "Please explain it in detail."
Jiang Budu: "I've explained it, but it's no use. My image in her heart is already beyond repair."
"Forget it, it doesn't matter. I asked for it." Jiang Budu snorted, then changed the subject: "You don't need to find PE, find someone else."
"The plan has been put forward, and I have rejected all other companies. It's too late to change to someone else now." Jiang Mozhou said.
Jiang Budu: "..."
Jiang Mozhou: "This is a business matter. Objectively speaking, it will only benefit the development of PE. She's just annoying you. But I'm the person in charge of Hengyuan. I'll tell her boyfriend that PE is my choice. Is that okay?"
"Okay, stop overthinking and process your emotions." Jiang Mozhou said and hung up the phone.
Jiang Budu put down his phone, rubbed his solar plexus, and sighed deeply.
