Episode 106 Respect
Jiang Yuxu: "He didn't keep you when we broke up?"
Song Yi curled the corners of his mouth and shook his head.
How could Fu Xijing keep her? She was not that important.
Jiang Yuxu: "Then when did he come to bother you again? Why?"
"Maybe it's possessiveness." This was the conclusion Song Yi came to a long time ago. "When I met him again, I happened to be with my then-fiancé."
"He must be unhappy that something that once belonged to him was picked up by someone else." Song Yi smiled self-deprecatingly.
Jiang Yuxu stared at her, "Your separation from your fiancé is also related to him?"
"He was the one who fanned the flames." Song Yi didn't put all the blame on Fu Xijing. "My fiancé at the time also had problems. We would have broken up even without him."
"You are defending him." Jiang Yuxu said in one sentence.
Song Yi: “…”
Jiang Yuxu looked at her sharply: "From just now until now, you haven't said a bad word about him."
"...Objectively speaking, he has helped me a lot." Song Yi pursed her lips. "My graduate school tuition and my mother's surgery were all paid for by him. If it weren't for him, my mother's surgery wouldn't have gone so smoothly."
Moreover, Fu Xijing asked Jiang Budu to help her cover up the lie.
To be fair, Song Yi was really grateful to him for the surgery.
But thanking him does not mean continuing to be his secret lover.
"What's your fiancé's problem?" Jiang Yuxu changed the subject. "How did you break up?"
Song Yi repeated to Jiang Yuxu how Xu Shengwen gave her to Jiang Budu for investment.
During this time, Jiang Yuxu kept observing Song Yi's expression.
When talking about this matter, Song Yi's emotions remained stable throughout.
There is no anger, no disappointment, and no pain of being entrusted to the wrong person.
After listening to this, there was a moment of silence before Jiang Yuxu said directly, "You don't love him."
Song Yi was stunned.
Jiang Yuxu: "Why are you with him?"
"I thought it was a good fit at the time," Song Yi said honestly. "His family is better off than mine, he's more motivated, and he's nice to my mom. My mom likes him very much, but I didn't expect all this was just an act."
"So, it's not because of love." Jiang Yuxu concluded.
Song Yi: "When it comes to marriage, suitability is more important than liking each other."
Jiang Yuxu: "When you can't choose what you like, you will choose the right one."
Song Yi clenched his fists, and before he could respond, he heard Jiang Yuxu ask, "You've liked Fu Xijing, right?"
Song Yi buried his head even lower.
She subconsciously wanted to deny it and make excuses, but then she thought it was pointless.
Jiang Yuxu had already seen through it, and her further words only made it more obvious.
"I can see the reality clearly." Her voice was as low as a mosquito.
"This is not the biggest problem." Jiang Yuxu said bluntly.
"Well, the biggest problem is that he doesn't like me." Song Yi forced a smile, "He has Miss Xu, and they have a child."
"You mean Xu Rushuang?" Jiang Yuxu frowned. "Have you ever met her?"
Song Yi nodded.
Jiang Yuxu: "Where's the child?"
Song Yi: "...He asked me to cook for his daughter a few times."
Jiang Yuxu's brows furrowed even more tightly.
What did Fu Xijing think of her? A babysitter who could be summoned and dismissed at will?
Jiang Yuxu said to Song Yi with a serious face: "He started pursuing Xu Rushuang when he was twenty years old."
"They've been entangled for so many years, and it won't end," Jiang Yuxu said. "With their child as the bond, they'll never be able to settle the score."
"I know." Song Yi recalled what Xu Rushuang had said to her last time, her voice a little hoarse, "I won't get involved."
Fu Xijing is now engaged to Zhao Yanjin. Whether Zhao Yanjin can tolerate Xu Rushuang and Miki, or how they fight openly or secretly, has nothing to do with her.
She didn't want to get involved, and she couldn't fight anyone.
Therefore, marrying Jiang Yuxu is the best solution.
As for what to do next, we’ll talk about it later.
Now she just wants to break up with Fu Xijing completely as soon as possible.
"He's not someone you should like," Jiang Yuxu said. "He doesn't respect you."
Song Yi felt a stab in the heart.
Jiang Yuxu is still so sharp and insightful.
He is right.
Fu Xijing never treated her as an equal, nor did he respect her. This was destined from the beginning.
"If he respected you, he wouldn't have said that to me just now." Jiang Yuxu took a tissue and wiped Song Yi's tears. "My words were harsh, so if you want to cry, go ahead."
"You're just telling the truth." Song Yi felt a surge of bitterness in her throat, but she didn't blame Jiang Yuxu.
The truth is always hard to hear.
Fu Xijing's topic ends here.
Later, Song Yi and Jiang Yuxu discussed the next arrangements.
This week, Jiang Yuxu officially met Song Lansheng. After obtaining her consent, the two of them took the time to get their marriage certificate.
——
After Song Yi and Jiang Yuxu came out of the lounge, they left the dinner party directly.
Jiang Yuxu drove Song Yi back to the community and watched her enter the building before leaving with peace of mind.
On the way back, Jiang Yuxu called his mother Qiao Wan.
Qiao Wan answered quickly: "Yu Xu."
"Mom, please contact someone and find a suitable date for the wedding this year." Jiang Yuxu's voice was steady, but his words were shocking: "I want to get a marriage certificate with Song Yi first."
"...What?!" Qiao Wan was so shocked that she was silent for dozens of seconds before she spoke, "What are you thinking? Isn't the appraisal report already out? Xiaoyi is your—"
"It's a fake marriage," Jiang Yuxu explained to Qiao Wan. "She needs time to slowly accept this identity. First, let her enter the Jiang family as my wife and get to know Third Uncle for a while. That way it won't be too awkward."
Qiao Wan frowned on the other end of the phone: "She can also contact your Third Uncle as your girlfriend. You are married now. If Xiaoyi's identity is made public in the future, won't it be a joke?"
"Mom, I've considered it." Jiang Yuxu said seriously, "But she needs to marry me now."
Qiao Wan: "Hmm?"
Jiang Yuxu: "Someone has been harassing her, and it will only end if she gets married."
Qiao Wan: "Who's harassing you? Can't you solve it by stepping in?"
Jiang Yuxu didn't answer the question directly. "Please find someone to choose a date, as soon as possible."
——
Every December, Ji Qingyuan would go to Qingshan Temple on the outskirts of North City to pray for blessings.
This day is the eighth day of the lunar calendar, and the weather is clear and sunny.
Early in the morning, Ji Qingyuan packed up her things and came out. A Cayenne was already parked at the gate of the villa waiting for her.
Ji Qingyuan opened the car door and sat in the back seat, only to find that in addition to the driver Lao Liu, there were two other people in the car.
Fu Qingyun was sitting on the other side of the back seat, and Fu Xijing was sitting in the passenger seat.
Ji Qingyuan frowned: "Why are you here?"
Fu Qingyun calmly moved towards Ji Qingyuan and gave her a cup of soy milk. "Have you had breakfast?"
Fu Xijing received the signal and said casually: "Things haven't been going well recently. I'll follow you to the temple to worship."
Ji Qingyuan's attention was immediately drawn to Fu Xijing's words: "What's wrong with you?"
