Episode 055 Mother
Jiang Budu cannot be allowed to hear Tang Qing’s voice.
This was the only thought in Song Yi's mind.
She was a little annoyed that she had answered the phone without checking the caller ID, and replied in a low voice: "I'm on my way home. You can just enter the password to enter the house."
Tang Qing heard that she was trying to lower her voice, so he asked, "Are you OK?"
Song Yi: "Well, it's okay, let's talk about it when we get back."
Tang Qing: "Okay, I'll wait for you."
Song Yi quickly hung up the phone, let out a long sigh, and looked at Jiang Budu in the front row again.
When he looked up, he happened to meet Jiang Budu's eyes in the rearview mirror, and Song Yi immediately looked away guiltily.
Jiang Budu: "Friend?"
Song Yi's heart was in suspense again, "Ah, oh yes."
Jiang Budu was curious: "Are you so nervous in front of your friends?"
Song Yi: "...Uh, no, maybe I'm a slow learner."
Jiang Budu: "Why do I feel that you are not slow to warm up, but are just under stress?"
He raised the corner of his mouth and commented, "Those who feel guilty about telling a lie, get so nervous that their hair stands on end when asked casually."
Song Yi: "..." She is indeed in this state now.
Jiang Budu: "So, you just lied to me?"
"No." Song Yi denied.
Jiang Budu laughed, "It's just a joke, don't be nervous. With our relationship, there's nothing you need to lie to me about."
Song Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
It seems that Jiang Budu did not hear Tang Qing's voice.
However, judging by Jiang Budu's rich emotions, as long as he didn't see Tang Qing's name and person, even if he heard the voice, he might not be able to recognize it for a while.

Fu Xijing drove to Xishuiwan Villa. As soon as he entered, bodyguards and doctors surrounded him in the living room.
Fu Xijing glanced upstairs and asked the doctor, "How is my mother?"
The doctor said, "Madam is feeling much better after taking the medicine and is now resting in her room."
Fu Xijing said "hmm" and walked upstairs with his long legs.
Fu Xijing stopped at the bedroom door, knocked, and went in after receiving a response from inside.
When he pushed the door open, Ji Qingyuan was sitting on the sofa reading a book.
She was covered in a thin gray blanket, her hair was tied up casually, and there were almost no signs of aging on her face.
"Mom." Fu Xijing closed the door and walked over to sit beside her, looking down at her abdomen. "Does your stomach still hurt?"
"I feel much better after taking the medicine. I told them there's no need to disturb you." Ji Qingyuan put down the book in her hand. "Is it okay to delay your work?"
Fu Xijing shook his head, "No, I haven't been here for a while."
Ji Qingyuan: "How have you been lately?"
Fu Xijing: "Well, work goes well."
Ji Qingyuan: "I'm not asking about work."
Fu Xijing: "Everything else is fine."
Ji Qingyuan: "Your father is back."
Fu Xijing: "..."
Before she could ask Ji Qingyuan how she knew, she heard her say, "Marriage is a serious matter. Don't listen to him. If he forces you, I will go talk to him myself."
"No need, just take care of yourself." Fu Xijing said, "He won't make any waves."
Ji Qingyuan: "Even at his age, he still has such a strong desire for control. There's no hope."
Fu Xijing coughed and asked her tentatively, "Are you going to see him?"
Ji Qingyuan closed her eyes: "I'm too lazy to go back to his territory."
Fu Xijing understood.
He thought about what Fu Qingyun had said to him that day and curled his lips.
…
Ji Qingyuan hadn't had dinner yet. Shortly after Fu Xijing arrived, dinner was prepared in the kitchen.
Fu Xijing naturally stayed to eat with Ji Qingyuan.
Fu Xijing has been visiting less frequently recently, so Ji Qingyuan asked him a lot about other members of the Fu family during dinner.
When Ji Qingyuan talked about the other members of the Fu family, they were all gentle and elegant, and they spoke with a smile.
But when she mentioned her husband, her face immediately fell.
Fu Xijing has become accustomed to this.
The relationship between Ji Qingyuan and Fu Qingyun is quite different from that of other wealthy couples.
Ji Qingyuan is twelve years younger than Fu Qingyun. He was the one Fu Qingyun remarried after his first wife passed away.
Fu Xiao's father, Fu Congjian, is his son with his first wife.
Fu Xijing and Fu Shanzhan were born after Fu Qingyun and Ji Qingyuan remarried.
Although they are half-brothers, the Fu brothers have a harmonious relationship and there is no intrigue between them.
If there is one shortcoming, it is probably the "war" between Ji Qingyuan and Fu Qingyun.
Ji Qingyuan came from a scholarly family. She had a passionate love affair with Fu Qingyun and married him despite family pressure.
The two have a big age gap, and even after many years of marriage, there are still many people pursuing Ji Qingyuan.
Therefore, Fu Qingyun asked Ji Qingyuan to give up her career and stay at home to take care of her husband and children.
The two quarreled for six or seven years, and finally, Ji Qingyuan could no longer bear it.
The year Fu Xijing went to college, Ji Qingyuan moved out and threatened Fu Qingyun that if he dared to be so presumptuous again, she would file for divorce.
Fu Qingyun became obedient.
Over the years, he has been very cautious in front of Ji Qingyuan.
If you want to see her, you have to apply for it.
But the feelings between the two are still there.
A while ago, Fu Qingyun fell ill and went abroad for recuperation. Ji Qingyuan would ask about him from time to time, but she just didn't contact him in person.
After Fu Qingyun knew about this, he was visibly happy.
Fu Xijing has gotten used to being caught between the two of them this year.
"Now that you're back this time, it's time to settle down, right?" As they chatted, Ji Qingyuan also turned the topic to lifelong events.
Fu Xijing chuckled, "You and Dad are indeed a couple, pushing me forward one after another, what a tacit understanding."
Ji Qingyuan snorted, "Who has a tacit understanding with him?"
"He's really urging you again? Is he going to introduce you to some rich girl again in an attempt to arrange your life?" Ji Qingyuan's face became much more serious when he mentioned this.
Fu Xijing still smiled, "He's just like that, he's used to it."
Ji Qingyuan: "Don't listen to him. Make your own decision on marriage."
Fu Xijing: "Even if he doesn't listen in his heart, he has to agree with it. He is afraid of his wife, but not my son."
Ji Qingyuan: "Oh, he just likes to give orders. It was his fault that Shanzhan's wife ran away. He still hasn't learned his lesson."
"If he arranges you again, you must threaten him that when he becomes paralyzed in bed, you will personally remove the tubes from his body."
Fu Xijing: "..."
"By the way, hasn't Xiaoxue come back to see Qiaoqiao recently?" The Xiaoxue that Ji Qingyuan mentioned is Fu Shanzhan's ex-wife and Fu Xuqiao's mother.
Fu Xijing nodded, "I haven't heard the third brother say that."
"It's all Fu Qingyun's fault." Ji Qingyuan sighed.
——
Song Yi didn't have enough to eat at night, so after returning home, he had a hotpot meal with Ying Xing and Tang Qing.
Being with his friends, Song Yi felt much more relaxed.
The three of them chatted and ate for two or three hours.
The next day was Sunday, so Song Yi let Ying Xing and Tang Qing stay.
After eating hot pot, the three of them went to the living room to watch a variety show together.
Before I could turn on the TV, the doorbell rang.
"Has the milk tea I ordered arrived? It's here so quickly—" Ying Xing got up and went to open the door.
She stretched out her hand, but when she looked up, the face in front of her was not the delivery boy's.
"I'm looking for Song Yi." Fu Xijing lowered his eyes to look at the wide-eyed woman in front of him and asked politely, "Is she there?"
Song Yi didn't know what was going on here. He just saw Ying Xing standing motionless at the door, so he walked over to see what was going on.
Seeing Fu Xijing standing at the door, she finally understood why Ying Xing was stuck here.
"Why are you here?" Song Yi took a long time to squeeze out a sentence.
