Chapter 239: Make Him Die Without an Heir
Chapter 239: He Shall Have No Offspring
Ye Rushui had a deep impression of Gu Dongxing since she was young, always keeping him in her heart. It was only because he had gone to the countryside and she didn’t want to endure the hard rural life, that she gave up on him.
But now, Gu Dongxing was no longer an ordinary country boy, but a businessman with limitless potential.
What woman wouldn’t want such a man?
When she heard that Gu Dongxing had a fondness for her in his childhood, Ye Rushui was immediately excited.
She had liked Gu Dongxing since childhood, and the Gu Family liked her too, wanting her to become the Gu Family’s daughter-in-law, but they were reluctant about her already-married status.
What if she got divorced?
After all, she hadn’t had any children yet!
So, she tentatively asked, "What if I got divorced?"
Yang Meiyin seemed quite surprised, "Are you planning to get divorced?"
After thinking about it, she added, "That makes sense, your in-laws must be disgruntled that you haven’t borne any children, right? Having children isn’t the responsibility of one person alone, it could be Zeng Yicheng’s issue too. How can they just resent you for it?
Sigh, Mrs. Zeng is really stubborn. If it were me, if my daughter-in-law could have children, then great; if not, just adopt one. Why push things to the brink of divorce?"
Listening to Yang Meiyin’s words, Ye Rushui seemed to grasp what she meant and left with the intention of getting a divorce.
Yang Meiyin watched Ye Rushui’s retreating back and sneered in her heart: She was determined to pair up Ye Rushui and Gu Dongxing.
Because she knew that an engaged relationship had been arranged between Gu Dongxing and the Ye Family’s daughter, but the Ye Family did not take it seriously and ended up marrying off both their daughters.
She saw it, the jade pendant that cheap woman brought when she got betrothed to the Ye Family was hanging on Ye Rushui’s neck.
No need to say, that pendant was certainly the token given to the Ye Family by that woman.
Just right, later on she could claim that the engagement between the Gu Family and the Ye Family was intended to be between Gu Dongxing and Ye Rushui.
With this engagement, she wasn’t worried that Gu Dongxing wouldn’t comply.
Once Ye Rushui, the woman unable to bear children, entered the doors of the Gu Family and became Gu Dongxing’s wife, then Gu Dongxing could look forward to a future without descendants!
Upon returning home, Ye Rushui indeed proposed divorce to her husband, Zeng Yicheng.
Zeng Yicheng was caught off guard by his wife’s request for a divorce.
His mother had already brought it up several times, mentioning that Ye Rushui couldn’t have children and that he should hurry up and divorce her to marry a woman who could bear children.
But he could not bear to part with Ye Rushui; thus, he resisted the pressure from his family, not only not mentioning divorce to Ye Rushui but also forbidding the family to discuss the issue of having children in front of her.
Out of fear that Ye Rushui would feel inferior for her inability to bear children.
Yet unexpectedly, without mentioning divorce himself, Ye Rushui brought it up to him.
He looked at Ye Rushui with sorrow: "Why, Ru Shui, is it because they have made you suffer?"
He turned and roared at his mother, "Mom, was it you, did you say something to her?"
"I didn’t."
Mrs. Zeng was a bit panicked because she had indeed hinted at Ye Rushui, suggesting she should take the hint and leave her son on her own.
Ye Rushui really didn’t pay attention to the Zeng Family’s disdain for her inability to have children before.
Because the status of the Zeng Family had greatly decreased nowadays, and although the Ye Family also declined significantly due to the grandfather’s death, her father, Ye Sheng, had already stabilized his position and it wouldn’t be long before he could regain the former glory.
She could never imagine that the Zeng Family would actually want to push her away.
However, she was quite adept at seizing opportunities, immediately putting on a sorrowful appearance: "Yicheng, we’ve been married for four years and I have not been able to give birth to a son or a daughter; thus, Mom’s desire for me to leave isn’t new. So, I’ll grant you this wish."
Zeng Yicheng opened his mouth, unable to speak.
