Chapter 226: Madam Gu’s Attitude
Gu Dongxing was betrothed to Ye Rushui?
This time, he’s actually here to complete the marriage?
Her gaze shifted to Ye Rushui, a perfectly pleasant smile on her face, but the pride in her eyes couldn’t be hidden, as if to say: What does it matter how good you are with Dongxing, he and I are betrothed!
Gu Dongxing himself was also shocked; he almost leapt up: "Mom, you’ve arranged a betrothal for me? How come I didn’t know about it?"
Besides, he was following his father at that time. If there was an engagement, it should have been with his father, no? Why didn’t the Ye Family arrange the betrothal with his father but instead, his mother arranged the betrothal for him?
Hai Xue sighed: "You were both too young at that time; it wasn’t something easy to mention, was it?"
In fact, she herself had her doubts about this marriage alliance with the Ye Family. When she left the compound in B City, Ye Sheng was already a regimental commander, and she was a Divorced Woman; there was no parity between the two families.
It’s just that the Ye Family had helped her too much, and she felt bad rejecting them.
Moreover, there had been no communication over the years, and she assumed that the Ye Family had regretted the decision.
Yesterday, a girl as beautiful as a flower declared herself to be Ye Rushui and presented the keepsake given to the Ye Family at the time of the betrothal, claiming she was here to marry Gu Dongxing.
When Hai Xue left the compound in B City, Ye Sheng expressed the desire to marry his daughter to Gu Dongxing, and she subconsciously presumed that the intended was Ye Qing, the unloved daughter left by his former wife, especially since Old Sir Ye had been most worried about Ye Qing at that time.
Unexpectedly, the keepsake she had given out ended up with the favored Ye Rushui.
Ye Rushui was only four years old back then; after more than twenty years, upon seeing her again, she barely remembered what she looked like.
However, the keepsake was indeed sent by her, so she was confident there was no mistake.
Furthermore, this girl, although a city dweller, did not show any disdain for country folks. She brought gifts for her whole family right away and easily won over her daughter Minxing.
Hence, she accepted this future daughter-in-law.
Hai Xue was pleased with Ye Rushui.
After all, her appearance was likable, her way of speaking was endearing, her family background was decent, and her father, Ye Sheng, had helped her in her most difficult times.
Of course, the key point was that she brought out the keepsake of her betrothal to Gu Dongxing!
Mrs. Gu had no reason not to accept this girl who was already betrothed to Gu Dongxing.
But now that she saw her son also brought a girl home, she sensed some trouble brewing.
She has always believed in being straightforward; beating around the bush could harm people. So, she spelled things out directly. This was also to tell Mengyu that the position of her son’s wife was already occupied!
Moreover, it was to tell Gu Dongxing that Ye Rushui is his betrothed fiancée.
Gu Dongxing took a deep breath, suppressing the feeling of annoyance, and said, "Mom, this is modern society; we don’t follow the old custom of arranging betrothals anymore. Besides, I already have a fiancée now."
He took Mengyu’s hand: "Look, this is my fiancée, Jiang Mengyu!"
Hai Xue gave Jiang Mengyu a cursory glance: "This girl, is she the one you saved from the human traffickers?"
Gu Dongxing was about to say something when Hai Xue said, "Just tell me yes or no!"
Gu Dongxing could only answer: "Yes!"
"Just because you saved her, and she had nowhere else to go, that’s why she moved into your house?"
Gu Dongxing was about to speak, but Hai Xue cut him off again, "Say yes or no!"
Gu Dongxing could only reply: "Yes. However—"
"You don’t need to tell me about other concerns; a girl who has been in the hands of human traffickers for a month, do you think she remains untouched?"
