Chapter 305: Ye Qing’s Thoughts
With the Ye Family’s Dark Guard, Ye Qing could receive any news she wished at the first instance.
Especially upon hearing that Jiang Mengyu had disappeared, and it was after Gu Dongxing returned from Hai Village and immediately went to look for Jiang Mengyu at school. She didn’t know what he said, but after their conversation, Mengyu ran away. She guessed that it was most likely because Gu Dongxing acknowledged her as his god-sister. She was secretly pleased about this, but outwardly, she pretended to be unaware.
Taking advantage of her still "frail" health, she spent every day by Hai Xue’s side.
As for Hai Xue, her son was too busy, and her daughter was now attending high school in town and staying at the school dormitory, coming home only once a week.
Now that she had Ye Qing by her side, and considering how Ye Qing had long been in an abused position and was good at reading people’s emotions, it wasn’t long before they grew as close as a real mother and daughter.
Hai Xue felt a pang of regret. If Ye Qing wasn’t a second-marriage bride, she would have really liked Ye Qing to be her daughter-in-law.
But her son was keen on Jiang Mengyu, who had been trafficked before, a girl she was not fond of.
She asked Ye Qing, "Qingqing, what are your plans for the future?"
Seeing that Hai Xue looked at her with pity and tenderness, and even shook her head slightly, Ye Qing understood Hai Xue’s thoughts. She put the vegetables she picked into the basin: "Mom, what plans can I have now? My plan is to spend a lifetime with you."
Hai Xue replied, "Nonsense. How many years can Mom spend with you? You’re still young, it’s the best time to find a good man and get married."
Ye Qing sighed, "Mom, it’s not that I don’t want to find someone, but with my current status, it’s difficult.
What kind of man should someone like me look for? If I choose a younger guy, he’ll certainly mind that I’m a divorcee.
But if I find someone who’s also been through a divorce, I won’t be satisfied. Even though I was married to Sun Erliang, he is... I’m still a virgin in reality.
Besides, there’s also the situation at home."
Upon hearing her mention Sun Erliang, Hai Xue suddenly had a realization: she had always been concerned that Ye Qing had been married once and was not worthy of her son.
But the man she married was infertile; even if he wanted to do anything, he couldn’t. She was basically as if she had never married!
Moreover, her son had once been betrothed to her, and now he had brought her home and even accepted the responsibility entrusted by Father Ye to look after her, which showed that her son was not heartless towards her.
To consider Ye Qing as a daughter-in-law was perhaps not so preposterous.
However, when she thought of her son’s obsession with Mengyu, she dared not make any promises lightly.
These two people’s life together, without love, everything is void. Her son’s feelings for Mengyu were obviously deeper than those for Ye Qing.
Even if she had no sexual relationship with Sun Erliang, that Sun Erliang was not a good man. Having a wife and not being able to do anything, would he not do other things?
Moreover, Sun Erliang’s ex-wife was impregnated by his father; who knows what he could have done to the second daughter-in-law?
Thinking of all this, she became less keen on the idea of making Ye Qing her daughter-in-law.
Her son deserved better!
"Ah, you’re such a good girl; surely you’ll find a good match."
Ye Qing pretended to be shy and lowered her head, but her eyes were darting around: Did Hai Xue accept her or not?
However, considering that the other party no longer talked about finding her a match, she must have considered her a candidate for daughter-in-law, right?
But she was not in a hurry. With her intelligence, beauty, knowledge, and grace, she would always have an advantage over that country bumpkin Jiang Mengyu in Hai Xue’s eyes.
Gu Dongxing was unaware that Ye Qing was winning over his mother, as he was solely focused on finding Mengyu.
Unable to find Mengyu, he could only vent his frustration on some animals that might have played a part in her disappearance.
