Chapter 159: Finding a Way to Drive Jiang Mengyu Away
Mengyu shook her head and said, "No, I didn’t see anything, probably the mouse has hidden away."
Gu Dongxing also noticed a shadow behind a holly that was denser than elsewhere.
He thought about the call he received from Ye Rushui today, saying she wanted to come and celebrate his mother’s 49th birthday.
According to tradition, when men celebrate birthdays, they observe the actual birthday, which means they would celebrate the 50th birthday on the day they turn 50. However, for women, they celebrate a year earlier, on their 49th birthday.
He had no idea how she got hold of his mother’s birthday, but since he had no intention of considering her as a girlfriend, he used the excuse that his mother did not like to make a big fuss to refuse her.
Yet, what he didn’t expect was that despite his clear refusal, she came anyway. Moreover, she was playing the game of hide and seek.
He guessed that the shadow must be Ye Rushui.
Since she had hidden herself, he didn’t plan to expose her, so he pulled Mengyu back into the house, "Stop looking. If you keep running out like this, the mouse will only hide away."
Ye Rushui was furious to hear Gu Dongxing and Mengyu comparing her to a mouse.
However, thinking about their conversation just now, her mood improved.
She quietly backed away, then turned and left.
Her mood at the moment was completely different from when she arrived. Earlier, she felt so heavy as if she was about to fall to the ground, but now, she felt light and almost wanted to skip back.
Yes, Ye Rushui finally confirmed that Gu Dongxing and Jiang Mengyu were fake fiancé and fiancée!
Gu Dongxing only wanted to give Jiang Mengyu a home.
She also heard that Jiang Mengyu was just a child bought by the Jiang Family, and because she was sold to human traffickers by them, she broke off relations with the Jiang family.
Now she had no home, so Gu Dongxing gave her one.
She selectively forgot the scene of the two hugging each other that she witnessed at the train station that afternoon.
Since Gu Dongxing was only giving her the warmth of a home and they were not a real couple, she still had hope.
However, the saying goes that time breeds affection. They may not be a couple now, but that does not mean they won’t be in the future, so she couldn’t allow Mengyu to continue living in Gu Dongxing’s room.
She must find a way to drive Mengyu away!
But how could she drive Jiang Mengyu away from the military family compound?
Yet, no matter how many schemes and tricks she had up her sleeve, they were futile because Jiang Mengyu would leave the family compound the next day anyway.
Mengyu was unaware of Ye Rushui’s intent to drive her out; she was still thinking about going back to school the day after tomorrow.
All her books were at the Jiang Family’s place, and she needed to get them back first.
Additionally, she had been a good student in her previous life, but it had been a lifetime since then.
After being accepted to university and receiving the admission notice, she was sold into the mountains where she lived for ten years. After escaping, she was hit and killed by Jiang Huaiyu, then spent nineteen years as a ghost before being reborn. In total, she hadn’t touched a book in twenty-nine years.
She wondered how much of the textbook knowledge she still remembered?
Therefore, she had to retrieve her textbooks for the first and second year of high school and study them all over again.
And then there were the books for the senior year of high school; she had been accepted into university and did not attend her final year. After being sold, she escaped by leaping off a cliff and stayed in a cave for over a month before getting out.
After that, she had been running around, sabotaging Jiang Huaiyu who was risking her own identity to study at university in City B, and then stayed there for over a fortnight. Now, two months had passed since the start of the school year.
She would not be able to find the textbooks for the first semester of senior high at school and had to figure out a way to get them from upperclassmen who took the university entrance exams the year before.
While she was still thinking about textbooks, Gu Dongxing waved his hand in front of her a few times, and she finally realized she had been distracted.
"Hmm, what’s up?"
