Liao Sibo choked on his words, but he didn't want to argue with him, so he said, "Let's talk somewhere else."
Jiang Mochen saw his serious expression and thought that it was time to make things clear after giving him the cold shoulder for so long. He stood up and led him to the parking lot nearby.
Jiang Mochen opened his van and got in. "Tell me, why are you here?"
Liao Sibo got in as well and closed the door. He asked, "Jiang Mochen, are you really going to cut ties with me? You didn't answer my calls or reply to my WeChat messages. Are you really going to abandon our childhood friendship for a man? "
Jiang Mochen sneered. "You still remember that we grew up together? I thought you thought you and Yuan Mingxu were the ones who grew up together."
"What do you mean by that?" Liao Sibo was a little flustered.
"What do I mean?" Jiang Mochen asked him back. "Before meeting Yan Qingchi, didn't I tell you that he was my spouse and that we should be polite when we meet? But in the end, you made things difficult for him on the spot. Liao Sibo, you're 28 this year, not 8 years old. Don't you know the consequences of your words? He's a strong-willed person. If it were someone weaker, they probably would have left immediately after hearing what you said. "
"But didn't I apologize to him?"
"You apologized because he won against you. You had no choice. If he didn't win against you, or if he didn't play pool with you, would you still apologize to him? "
Liao Sibo didn't say anything.
Jiang Mochen snorted coldly. "So, your apology is only because you lost. It's not because you realized that your words hurt others, and it's also not because you realized that as my friend, you shouldn't and can't say that about my partner. You only apologized because you lost and had no choice. "
Liao Sibo gritted his teeth and looked up at him. "Yes, you're right. But why should I apologize to him? I don't like him. I just don't like him. Can't I? I didn't like anyone in the past, and you didn't fall out with me because of that. Why is it different when it comes to him? "
"How is that the same? He got a marriage certificate with me, but did the others get one with me? "
"That's where the problem lies. He's the same as everyone else. He's not part of our circle. He's a stranger to us. It's only because you got a marriage certificate with him. But that's all. You don't even like him.
"Liao Sibo, are you stupid?" Jiang Mochen really couldn't figure out what was going on in his head. It was rare for him to swear. "Do you think a marriage certificate is something you can just pull off casually? Since the two of us have registered our marriage, we are husband and wife. Don't you know what husband and wife means? If someone scolded your mother in front of your father, would your father let him leave with his limbs intact? Don't say that your dad and mom are childhood sweethearts. We don't have any feelings for each other. We're all the same. We both got our marriage certificates from the Civil Affairs Bureau. We're bound together for good or ill.
. "Liao Sibo was stunned and didn't say anything.
"You said so much that day because you think he's not Yuan Mingxu. You think I shouldn't marry him. You think I used to like Yuan Mingxu, so I should marry Yuan Mingxu. Am I right?"
"Isn't that the case?"
"Of course not." Jiang Mochen said coldly, "No feelings are necessary. I liked him, hinted at him, and even made it clear to him. But he didn't accept it. He likes Zhou Yixing. He even gave up the role I introduced to him for Zhou Yixing and went abroad. Then why should I stay here and wait for him to come back? "
He looked at Liao Sibo. "Why should I get married? Because I don't want to put my thoughts on someone I shouldn't. Once I get married, I have a family, and I have responsibilities and obligations. I can take my eyes off him and put them on someone else. So why did you scold Yan Qingchi? What's the use of scolding him? From the beginning to the end, I acted on my own. He only appeared at the right time. Even if it wasn't him, there would be someone else. If you really want to scold someone, you should be scolding me, right? "
"Moreover," Jiang Mochen continued, "what right do you have to scold me? My parents agreed to my marriage. Why didn't you agree? Just because I married Yan Qingchi, I gave up on Yuan Mingxu? Liao Sibo, I'm your friend since you were young, right? Even if you think that Yuan Mingxu is also a friend, when it comes to closeness, I should be the one you'll side with. "
Liao Sibo opened his mouth and tried to defend himself. "You and Mingxu are both my friends. I know you like him, and he deserves your love. I hope you two can be together. That way, he'll be happier."
"So whether I'm happy or not, it doesn't matter, right?"
"Of course not."
"But the things you say and the things you do, that's how it is."
"I just don't understand. Since you like him, why did you suddenly marry someone else? And someone we don't even know. I think it's a little rash. I'm afraid you'll regret it in the future. At that time, it won't be good for you and Mingxu."
"I won't regret it." Jiang Mochen said affirmatively. "Since I decided to marry him, I've considered all the consequences. I won't regret it."
"What if?"
"Then we'll wait until that day. Before it happens, all the 'what if's are in vain."
"It'll be too late then."
"You don't have to worry. I'll take responsibility for my own decision. It'll be best if we can be together forever. If something really happens, we'll talk about it when the time comes. There's no reason to think about it now."
"But at that time, you might not be able to be with Mingxu."
"So what? Even now, I can't be with him. "
Liao Sibo was stunned. "Are you serious?"
"From the moment Yan Qingchi and I registered our marriage, I can't be with Yuan Mingxu. The education I received since I was young doesn't allow me to cheat. My family also doesn't allow me to be morally shamed. If there's a problem in our marriage one day, the problem won't be caused by me. Do you understand? "
