Chapter 299: Born to Put on a Show
Chapter 299: Natural Pretender
Mengyu was surprised to see Gu Dongxing running into the campus again. It’s not Saturday today, how did he get in?
While talking, Gu Dongxing had already walked up to Mengyu and was about to grab her hand.
Mengyu stepped back and avoided him: "This is a campus, don’t touch me."
Shen Qi, Wu Jiangsheng, and Zhang Shuiyu saw Gu Dongxing coming and reaching out to Mengyu, quickly stepped back to keep a distance from Mengyu, just as Mengyu stepped back to avoid Gu Dongxing.
It looked as though the four of them retreated in unison.
Gu Dongxing’s facial expression turned dark instantly.
He suppressed his anger, nodded to the other three, and then said to Mengyu, "Xiao Meng, I have something to tell you, come with me."
Mengyu was very dissatisfied. She had clearly told him that he should not come to see her until he had sorted out his engagement issues, so what was he doing here again?
Did he think she was too easy-going?
Mengyu had publicly claimed Gu Dongxing as her fiancé on campus before, so she couldn’t refuse now, she simply had to tell Shen Qi and the others, "You guys go back first, I’m going out with him for a while."
Shen Qi and the others were not aware of the problem in Mengyu and Gu Dongxing’s engagement. Zhang Shuiyu considerately reminded, "You guys go ahead, it doesn’t matter if you come back late!"
After speaking, she even winked at Mengyu, to which Mengyu rolled her eyes.
Gu Dongxing grabbed Mengyu’s hand. Mengyu didn’t allow him to, but Gu Dongxing insisted and grabbed it. After all, he was a Level 7 Martial Artist, and Mengyu was no match for him. He caught her hand and interlocked their fingers.
Mengyu tried to break free. Gu Dongxing whispered, "Stop making a scene, it doesn’t look good to others."
Mengyu was infuriated by his blaming-the-victim act, but after all, this was a campus, it would not be appropriate to start a physical altercation.
So, all she could do was grit her teeth and let him hold her hand as they walked towards the campus gate.
As they passed by Jiang Huaiyu, Jiang Huaiyu still managed to greet them with her most beautiful smile: "Hey, sister, it’s my credit that your future brother-in-law could come in today."
Her words seemed to be directed at Mengyu, but her eyes kept darting towards Gu Dongxing.
Mengyu truly admired Jiang Huaiyu; their relationship was clearly so strained, yet she could still manage to smile.
Although her intention was to catch Gu Dongxing’s attention, this talent for pretense was indeed natural!
Mengyu completely ignored Jiang Huaiyu.
Gu Dongxing didn’t spare her a glance either, as if Jiang Huaiyu didn’t exist at all and walked right past.
Jiang Huaiyu stood up, staring at their retreating figures, mainly at their interlocked hands, with a look of loathing in her eyes as if she wished she could dissolve their intertwined fingers.
Once outside the campus, Mengyu immediately threw off Gu Dongxing’s hand and got straight into the jeep: "I’ve already cured your Qingmei, what else do you want from me?"
She thought that after curing Gu Dongxing’s Qingmei, there would be no reason for her to keep letting Gu Dongxing take care of her, and he ought to send her back home.
But to her surprise, he did send her back home, but not to the Ye Family’s home, but to the Hai Family, where his mother lived!
Recalling how when Ye Rushui had stayed at the Hai Family for one night, Hai Xue showed such disdain towards her. It was clear that Gu Dongxing’s Mom was a pushover.
Now that Ye Qing had gone to the Hai Family, who knows what trouble she might have stirred?
Both sisters were equally infatuated with Gu Dongxing. She couldn’t believe that if Ye Rushui did not slander her, Ye Qing would speak well of her!
However, if she behaves, it’s fine, but if she really causes trouble, Mengyu would make her understand why flowers are so red.
She could cure her, and naturally, she could also revert her back to her original state!
