Chapter 296: Caught Between Two Sides
Chapter 296 Difficulty from Both Sides
Cheng Jiuhe blocked Gu Dongxing at the door of his room when he saw him returning alone, "How come you’re back by yourself? Weren’t you supposed to bring Ye Qing back to see your mom and then send her off?"
Cheng Jiuhe thought to himself: She didn’t come back, so how did you send her away?
Gu Dongxing said, "My mom took her as a goddaughter, so she’s staying by my mom’s side now."
Cheng Jiuhe stared at Gu Dongxing, "You—You actually left her with your mom?"
Seeing that Gu Dongxing remained silent, he immediately became irritable, "Earlier, when Ye Qing was sick, it was understandable that you took her to your mom to look after her.
But now, my sister has cured her, and she’s a healthy adult. How could you still send her to your family?
You even let your mom recognize her as a goddaughter? Does she plan to stay at your place for good?"
Cheng Jiuhe suddenly remembered something else, "If your mom took her as a goddaughter, doesn’t that make her your godsister?"
Cheng Jiuhe’s irritability was contagious to Gu Dongxing, "Yes!"
Moreover, he suddenly thought of the time when Ye Rushui spent a night by his mother’s side, his mom wanted to drive Mengyu away.
Now that Ye Qing is going to stay by his mother’s side, he didn’t know how long she would stay, and he didn’t know how his mom would treat Mengyu?
Thinking of all these, he was extremely agitated.
Cheng Jiuhe pointed at him angrily, "You—You two were previously set up in an arranged marriage, with that kind of relationship, if it were someone else, they would avoid interaction altogether. But you actually recognized each other as god siblings?
Let me tell you, Gu Dongxing, if you do this, don’t even think about marrying my sister!"
Gu Dongxing was pushed to the brink of frustration, and suddenly yelled, "Do you think I want to be her godbrother? Let me tell you, no one is going to separate me from Mengyu, not even you!"
Having said that, he went into his room, and with a "bang", shut the door, leaving Cheng Jiuhe locked out.
Cheng Jiuhe looked at the door that almost hit his nose as it closed, sneered and said, "Oh, throwing a tantrum now? If my sister also had a betrothal partner, and this betrothal partner went on to recognize her mother as his own mom and took her as a sister, hanging around her all the time, just think about that situation, see if you can accept it."
Gu Dongxing in the room, listening to Cheng Jiuhe’s words, imagined Mengyu having a betrothal partner, who also would barge into her life becoming her godbrother, lingering in front of her all the time.
Just thinking about that scenario, it made him sick to his stomach.
Previously, he genuinely saw Ye Qing as a sister from childhood and thought taking a godsister was trivial, but now being challenged by Cheng Jiuhe like this, he realized he was indeed wrong.
If he can’t accept it, what right does he have to ask his sweetheart to accept it?
Suddenly, he opened the door again and said to Cheng Jiuhe, who was about to leave, "You tell me, what should I do?"
Cheng Jiuhe was very adamant, "Let her go back, she’s well now, there’s no reason for her to stay at your family’s place any longer!"
Gu Dongxing scratched his head in frustration, "My mom has been looked after by her grandfather, and she really sympathizes with her from the bottom of her heart; she won’t agree to send her away.
Moreover, if we did that, my mom would think it’s what Xiao Meng wants, and would think she can’t make room for others!"
Yes, after her mother consented and agreed to let Ye Qing stay at their home, she worriedly asked, "Mom, if I stay here, what should we do if my brother’s girlfriend finds out?"
How did his mother answer her then?
She said, "She’s not yet a Gu Family member, so how could she meddle with my goddaughter staying in my own home? I can do without a daughter-in-law who can’t make room for others."
"Your mom really is holding you back. Sigh!" Cheng Jiuhe was very depressed.
He couldn’t let Ye Qing stay; it would make his own sister uncomfortable.
He couldn’t send Ye Qing away; otherwise, Hai Xue would think that her own sister couldn’t even accommodate an elder aunt.
What should he do in the end?
