Chapter 490: No Regrets
Jiang Mozhou coughed, looked at him with complicated eyes, and comforted him: "Don't think about it for now, take your time, you also need time to prove it."
"I can't come. It's impossible." Jiang Budu said, "I don't have a chance."
Although he looked depressed, he said this sentence in an unusually calm manner. There was no trace of anger in his voice. He sounded lifeless, as if he had completely accepted the reality.
The two brothers grew up together. Jiang Budu was never the type to give in and accept his fate. He had a strong rebellious mentality and a strong desire to conquer. The more he couldn't get it, the more he wanted to get it.
Now that he had said that he had no chance, Jiang Mozhou became even more curious about one thing—
"What on earth did you do to her?"
Just as Jiang Mozhou finished asking this question, there was another knock on the door. He went forward to open the door and saw Fu Xijing standing outside.
"Ajing, you're here." Jiang Mozhou greeted Fu Xijing and invited him in.
Fu Xijing walked to the bedside and took a look at Jiang Budu. Not only did he look unusually haggard, but the finger marks on his face and the wound at the corner of his mouth were also extremely obvious.
After seeing these details, Fu Xijing asked Jiang Budu: "What did you do to Tang Qing?"
Tang Qing is a very tolerant person. If Jiang Budu had just said something excessive, Tang Qing would not have fought with him.
Jiang Budu twitched his lips in self-mockery, "No matter what I do, it's useless."
Fu Xijing: "Did you force her again?"
Jiang Budu didn't answer, but Fu Xijing could tell the answer from his expression.
Fu Xijing rubbed his brows, his head aching. "You're almost done. You didn't tell her when she was pregnant, and now..."
"What do you mean by 'pregnant'?" Jiang Mozhou, who was standing by, became even more serious when he heard this key word. He glanced at Jiang Budu, then looked directly at Fu Xijing and asked, "Has she ever been pregnant?"
Fu Xijing nodded at Jiang Budu lying on the hospital bed and said, "He did it."
Jiang Mozhou: "Ajing, what's going on between them? Tell me everything you know."
Fu Xijing glanced at Jiang Budu. Perhaps because he mentioned the child, Jiang Budu kept his head down, exuding a suppressed aura, and did not come out to stop him.
Seeing that he didn't react, Fu Xijing used relatively simple words to summarize what had happened between Jiang Budu and Tang Qing, from the time in Haicheng to their later reunion in Beicheng. He told him everything.
Fu Xijing also mentioned that Gu Yan had caused trouble for Tang Qing and caused her to lose her job.
Jiang Mozhou was already frowning when he heard that Jiang Budu forced him to be with him after their reunion. When he heard about what Gu Yan had done, his expression became even more serious - Gu Yan was a spoiled rich lady who did things unreasonably. What Fu Xijing said was probably just the tip of the iceberg. When they were not seeing, Gu Yan must have bullied Tang Qing a lot.
A good person was forced to sit in the position of the third party, facing Jiang Budu's coercion and inducement on the one hand, and Gu Yan's various difficulties on the other. How could a normal person endure this kind of life? It's good that he is not driven crazy.
Oh, and—
"Then what's the matter with the pregnancy?" Jiang Mozhou didn't think that under such circumstances, the other party would take the initiative to have his child.
There must be another hidden story behind Fu Xijing's words "he did it" just now.
"He wanted to use the child to keep the man, and he did some tricks," Fu Xijing recounted Jiang Budu's "glorious deeds." "Unfortunately, the plan didn't work."
Jiang Mozhou's temples throbbed when he heard this. He simply couldn't believe it. This was something that Jiang Budu, a man of many talents and experiences, could do. It was vile and childish - how could he think of using a child to tie someone down?
"You're so confused." Jiang Mozhou spoke to Jiang Budu in such a stern tone for the first time. "If someone tried to tie you down with a child, would you let them do it? Why ask others to do something you can't do yourself?"
"Do you know how difficult it is for a woman to be pregnant? Do you know that legally, reproductive rights belong to women? Do you know how much damage an abortion causes to the body?"
Jiang Mozhou did not forget Fu Xijing's words "the plan failed". Failure meant that the other party had undergone surgery.
No matter how advanced modern medical technology is, abortion is always bad for the body.
Jiang Budu caused her to lose her job, bear the stigma, and finally have an abortion.
No wonder he said it was impossible - even just one of these injuries would be unforgivable, but he did them all.
This is just what they know.
What they don’t know is that there must be more in the details of their daily interactions.
Jiang Budu was scolded by Jiang Mozhou without saying a word. He lowered his head, breathing heavily, and his eyes were sore and dry.
His eyes fell on the back of his hand, his vision became more and more blurred, and finally, tears dripped onto the back of his hand, wetting it.
Fu Xijing saw Jiang Budu's tears, but he was not surprised - although it was indeed the first time he saw him cry.
He walked forward a few steps, took a tissue and placed it next to Jiang Budu, "Let's recuperate first."
Jiang Budu took a breath, "It's really retribution."
Fu Xijing: "Okay, don't think about it, there is no regret medicine in the world."
Logically, he should comfort Jiang Budu now, but Fu Xijing really couldn't say anything against his will. Even if Tang Qing didn't have a boyfriend now, she would not choose to get close to him again, not to mention that she had Shi Chen by her side.
Fu Xijing has often heard Song Yi talk about Shi Chen recently. She said that Tang Qing and Shi Chen get along very well and are in much better condition.
Fu Xijing had also seen Tang Qing posting photos on WeChat Moments before. Shi Chen and Jiang Budu have different personalities. Shi Chen is attentive, caring, and can cook. It seems that when Tang Qing is with him, she has always been the one being cared for.
After going through so much, it would be hard for anyone to refuse such a character who suddenly appears around you.
Not to mention, Tang Qing and Shi Chen almost got together when they were in college.
Jiang Budu was silent for a few minutes, then asked Fu Xijing, "Have you met him? Is he very nice to Tang Qing?"
Fu Xijing: "I haven't seen it yet, but for the last question, for sure, at least it's better than yours."
Jiang Budu twitched his lips in self-mockery, "For so many years, I have put a lot of thought into her, why in the end——"
"What you mean by being thoughtful is setting her up for pregnancy?" Jiang Mozhou couldn't bear to hear it any longer. "Do you have any misunderstanding about being thoughtful?"
"You've just had it so easy," Jiang Mozhou said. "You've always taken the initiative in relationships. You've long since accepted that anyone who stays with you must like you. Now I understand that all your experience is of no use."
"Also," Jiang Mozhou said, "Have you ever thought that those people you broke up with before might not be any better than you are now after they left?"
