Chapter 220: Unintentionally Sold Out Meiling
Chapter 220 Accidentally Betrayed Meiling
Gu Dongxing immediately knew, this news was passed on to Ye Rushui by Wen Meiling!
Gu Dongxing glared coldly at Vice Captain Yan.
Although Vice Factory Director Yan was over a decade older than Gu Dongxing, he was somewhat afraid of this young factory director. Being glared at by the director, he immediately glared at his wife.
When Wen Meiling heard Zhang Qiaoqiao reveal that Gu Dongxing and Jiang Mengyu’s engagement was fake, she knew things had taken a bad turn.
No, it was from the moment Ye Rushui spoke those words that she knew it was bad.
But what could she do? She could only bow her head and not dare to look at her husband, glaring fiercely at Ye Rushui and cursing her in her heart.
Ye Rushui’s heart skipped a beat: She had inadvertently betrayed Wen Meiling.
She hurriedly tried to remedy the situation: "I heard it from you guys."
She recounted the conversation she overheard between Gu Dongxing and Jiang Mengyu when she had just arrived from Beijing and went to look for Gu Dongxing.
Jiang Mengyu: "Brother Gu, you’ve given me a home, but what if people misunderstand?"
"You silly girl, saying nonsense. You’re still young, how could anyone misunderstand?"
Jiang Mengyu: "Everything else doesn’t matter, I’ve already taken on the name of your fiancée. What I’m afraid of is, what if some girl likes you but doesn’t dare to pursue you because of me?"
Ye Rushui relayed this conversation, then looked at Gu Dongxing: "These were your own words, which led to my conclusion."
Everyone looked at Jiang Mengyu. Was she really just a pretense?
But looking at Jiang Mengyu’s expression, she remained calm, seemingly not worried at all about her identity being exposed.
Gu Dongxing laughed twice and said: "The two of us were talking nonsense at home, you heard neither the beginning nor the end, only the middle and came spreading rumors, is it because I made too good an impression on you?"
He swept his gaze over the family members and said: "Xiao Meng says she’s afraid of misunderstanding because she thinks our statuses are too different, she fears people would think she is unrighteously pursuing me."
Everyone looked at Gu Dongxing and then at Jiang Mengyu, one a factory director, the other a village girl, indeed a great disparity.
But Gu Dongxing then said: "But in reality, it is I who has been pursuing her. Because, if we’re talking about unrighteous pursuit, it is actually I who am not worthy of her."
Everyone was shocked, mouths agape in an O shape: The factory director unworthy of Jiang Mengyu, the village girl?
Gu Dongxing continued: "Because, Jiang Mengyu’s Master holds a very high position, much higher than I, Gu Dongxing, could ever hope to attain."
Jiang Mengyu’s Master could take out a storage bag that not even the Sect Leader within the Mountain Sect could produce; perhaps, he is from "that side." A person of the Immortal Sect, where was he, a mortal, in a position to pursue her?
Everyone was shocked, looking at Jiang Mengyu - she has a Master?
What kind of Master would make Gu Dongxing think he was unworthy of pursuit?
"Impossible!" Ye Rushui instinctively retorted.
How could Jiang Mengyu possibly have a Master that even Gu Dongxing felt unworthy to pursue?
Since meeting Jiang Mengyu, Ye Rushui knew that whether it was in terms of appearance or age, she could not compare with Jiang Mengyu, but in one aspect, she could always trample Jiang Mengyu underfoot – that was her own status and position.
But now, Gu Dongxing was saying that Jiang Mengyu had a Master that even he couldn’t aspire to?
After exclaiming impossible, she then said: "Jiang Mengyu clearly stated that everything else doesn’t matter, she’s already taken the name of being your fiancée, and it doesn’t matter to take it once more; what she fears is, if a girl really likes you but dare not pursue you because of her?"
Ye Rushui looked at Jiang Mengyu: "These words made it very clear, her engagement with you is just a pretense."
The people looked at Ye Rushui’s words, which seemed to make some sense.
