Chapter 265: I Won’t Take the Blame for This
Ye Sheng looked at Yang Meiyin with a strange gaze after hearing her words.
Gu Dongxing cursed Ye Sheng as an old fox in his heart and hated Yang Meiyin even more for butting in.
He said calmly, "However, as far as I know, Ye Rushui got divorced in May this year, while the Gu and Ye Families had a verbal agreement for an arranged marriage only after November.
Moreover, the main reason for Ye Rushui’s divorce was that the Zeng Family despised her for not having children after four years of marriage, not for any corrections of errors.
Furthermore, other matters can be corrected, but a once-married woman who has divorced is different from making corrections because she can never return to her past."
Ye Rushui was sitting right beside them, listening to Gu Dongxing saying bluntly to her face that she could not return to her past; was this not a disdain for her not being a virgin anymore?
She felt indignant, Gu Ming worked under her father, and Gu Dongxing was just an ex-husband; even if she was not a virgin, she was more than good enough for him.
Moreover, how was Jiang Mengyu, a mere country woman, any better than herself?
She hurriedly said, "Brother Dongxing, I actually knew about the marriage arrangement between the Ye and Gu families as early as February. That’s why I divorced Zeng Yicheng."
Gu Dongxing snorted.
She knew it early? If she really knew earlier, would she have needed to pretend to be his girlfriend and be so panic-stricken that she was thrown out by a young girl like Jiang Mengyu?
It was clear she only learned about the marriage agreement from her mom during her mom’s birthday, and she dared to claim she knew it long ago, trying to pin the divorce on him.
I won’t take the blame for this!
"You know when you actually found out."
Ye Sheng also knew that making Gu Dongxing, a man who became a businessman at the age of twenty-six, marry his once-married daughter, was a bit unreasonable.
But even so, he would not easily let go of the opportunity since the two families had a marriage agreement, and one of his daughters needed to be married off.
"What’s wrong with being married before? Shouldn’t marry again because one has been married before? Dongxing, it’s a new society now, we shouldn’t follow the old society’s discriminatory views about women’s chastity.
Regardless, you two have a marriage agreement, and both are yet to be married. It was fine when you didn’t know, but now that you know, it’s not too late to honor the agreement.
Besides, Rushui divorced Zeng Yicheng for your sake."
Gu Dongxing could not hold back anymore: "The marriage agreement my mom made with Grandpa Ye originally wasn’t with Ye Rushui, right?"
Ye Rushui was shocked and her face immediately turned red, not from shame, but from anger.
That damn old man, he always favored Ye Qing and never gave her any consideration. Even when arranging such a good thing as a betrothal, he only planned for Ye Qing, even though she liked Brother Dongxing more.
She had completely forgotten that after learning that Gu Dongxing went back to the countryside with his mom, she had completely given up on him.
Ye Sheng’s expression became very complicated upon hearing Gu Dongxing mention Ye Qing.
But Gu Ming frowned: whether it was Ye Rushui or Ye Qing, both had been married and were not suitable matches for his son, and were not the daughters-in-law the Gu Family desired.
However, upon hearing that Gu Dongxing was not meant to marry Ye Rushui, Yang Meiyin’s mind raced; if not Ye Rushui, then it must be Ye Qing.
Although she harbored intentions of letting Ye Rushui marry Gu Dongxing, leading to his eventual childlessness,
Ye Rushui was still the current wife’s daughter of Ye Sheng and was pampered, capable of giving Gu Dongxing some support.
If Gu Dongxing were to marry Ye Qing, who was already disabled and couldn’t possibly have a happy married life without any support, wouldn’t the result be even better?
