Chapter 256: Come With Me
Chapter 256: Come with me
Gu Dongxing grabbed Ye Qing’s arm, not letting her hide, pointing at her arm covered with new and old wounds, no patch of healthy skin in sight: "Is this what you call living well? Telling me not to interfere?
Ye Qing, you have grown bold, not even listening to me, Gu Dongxing."
The wounds on that arm were layered old and new, along with a deep purple bruise clearly left from being hung.
Was she hung and beaten?
Tears surged again in Ye Qing’s eyes: "Brother Dongxing, I have no choice. I’m already married to him, what else can I do?"
"Married to him, so what? Are you willing to live this kind of life forever? Haven’t you ever thought about getting a divorce?"
Ye Qing shook her head: "I can’t."
"How can you not?" Gu Dongxing reproachfully said, "You are a woman of the new era, how can you still hold onto the old society’s mentality of ’till the end’?"
Ye Qing lowered her head: "The Sun Family won’t let me go, and my father won’t let me leave."
Gu Dongxing said: "Don’t worry about the Sun Family, I will help you with the lawsuit. As for the Ye Family, they have already pushed you into a fire pit, why do you care so much about them? I’m just asking you one question, do you want to leave the Sun Family and start a new life?"
Hearing about leaving the Sun Family, Ye Qing’s eyes suddenly sparkled brightly: "Can I really leave and not be found and brought back?"
Gu Dongxing understood upon hearing this, "Have you tried to escape from the Sun Family before?"
Ye Qing lowered her head, her eyes filled with a dead grey: "Yes, I have escaped before. It was my father who personally found me and sent me back to the Sun Family."
Furious, Gu Dongxing pressed: "Does your father know about your husband from the Sun Family beating you? Have you shown him your injuries?"
Ye Qing suddenly looked up: "He knows, of course he knows, my injuries, he knows them all, and even, he knows that Sun Erliang’s first wife was beaten to death by him!"
Gu Dongxing, enraged, "He knows all this and still sends you back to the Sun Family?"
Is he even a man?
Ye Qing closed her eyes: "My stepmother said it’s normal for a man to beat a woman, that if I just comply with him more, he wouldn’t beat me.
She also said, her brother is getting ready to be promoted to bureau chief. If I divorce Sun Erliang, I would ruin her brother’s career. My stepmother cried, and my father agreed with her, sending me back to the Sun Family."
Gu Dongxing hadn’t expected that Ye Sheng could be such a man, pushing his own daughter into a fire pit for the sake of his nephew’s career.
"Come with me," Gu Dongxing said.
Hearing his words, Ye Qing’s heart raced, her eyes brightened, but glancing at Gu Dongxing and then at herself, she immediately shook her head: "No, I don’t want to trouble you. Besides—" she glanced at Gu Dongxing: "Your sister-in-law might misunderstand."
Hearing the term ’sister-in-law,’ Gu Dongxing felt somewhat conflicted: "I haven’t married her yet."
Hearing this, Ye Qing felt a profound loss: though he hadn’t married, he already had a girlfriend.
But she had already been married and was now reduced to this state, no longer worthy of him.
"Please go." She spoke and extended her hand to help up Sun Erliang who had collapsed in the yard.
Gu Dongxing stood in front of her: "No, you can’t stay at the Sun Family any longer, you could be beaten to death."
Ye Qing suddenly felt angry: "So what if I am beaten to death? What does it concern you?"
For some reason, she lashed out at Gu Dongxing, but she felt a strong resentment towards him.
