Chapter 324: Mengyu Jiang Returns (Part 1)
Chapter 324 Jiang Mengyu Returns Part 1
Jiang Mengyu knew that trust and honesty were needed between lovers.
She told him about the antiques trade partnership she had formed with Cheng Jiuhe while in Beijing.
Gu Dongxing felt even more embittered: his girl had actually formed a partnership with Cheng Jiuhe, yet he, her fiancé, had been left in the dark.
"Why don’t you partner with me, instead of with him?" Gu Dongxing said, overcome with jealousy.
Jiang Mengyu fanned her face with her hand: "Hmm—why do I smell a sour scent?"
Jiang Mengyu still offered an explanation to Gu Dongxing.
"Our partnership was just a coincidence. You are military personnel, and you can’t be involved in business; it was managed through a third party by my brother.
Besides, once we become a family, what’s mine will be yours, right?"
Gu Dongxing found solace in the phrase "once we become a family": "From now on, you should tell me about anything that happens, and any partnership should be with me. Don’t trouble your brother too much."
He took out a passbook: "This is the money from selling the gold, for you."
Jiang Mengyu looked at the figure on the passbook and was surprised: "So much?" Then she saw the name on the passbook; it was hers.
She looked towards Gu Dongxing: "You didn’t take your share?"
"What’s mine and yours, it’s all ours. From now on, all our family’s assets will be managed by you, including my salary!"
"Okay, I’ll gladly accept it." Jiang Mengyu unceremoniously took it. She needed a significant amount of Essence Value for her cultivation, which meant buying antiques to extract Essence Value from them.
The money was perfect for purchasing antiques.
The happiest about Jiang Mengyu’s return were the employees of Gu Dongxing’s factory; they no longer had to face the director’s unpredictable moods every day.
Among the family members, Qiaoqiao and others were naturally overjoyed, but there were also those who were not pleased—one was Wen Meiling, the wife of Vice Factory Director Yan, as well as Gao Yuanyuan.
Although, ever since Ye Rushui inadvertently betrayed Wen Meiling, there had been no love lost between them, the conflict between her and Jiang Mengyu was still unresolved.
Moreover, their rift had even affected the relationship between her husband and Commander Gu.
Even though the relationship between Wen Meiling’s husband and Gu Dongxing was never that good, he was somewhat capable and could manage the broader situation, which is why he was made the Vice Factory Director. However, he always felt that Gu Dongxing, who still had other tasks with the Folklore and Cultural Research Association, was clinging too firmly to power, and he harbored some resentment.
The man was somewhat conflicted. If he could be influenced through the women, it might be possible to win him over, but unfortunately, the two women had conflicts as well.
If Jiang Mengyu did not return, Gu Dongxing might indeed end up marrying Ye Rushui. And possibly, she might be able to influence Gu Dongxing through Ye Rushui!
Hence, Wen Meiling also hoped that Jiang Mengyu would not return.
Gao Yuanyuan disliked Jiang Mengyu; the last time Jiang Mengyu hosted a dinner, she had shown open hostility towards her. Because she had always contemplated introducing her own sister to Gu Dongxing.
If it worked out, her family could become relatives with Factory Director Gu, and surely Factory Director Gu would look after her husband, guaranteeing a bright future for him.
Unfortunately, the country bumpkin Jiang Mengyu had snatched him away.
When the news of Jiang Mengyu’s disappearance spread, she had her own schemes, waiting for Gu Dongxing to lose hope so she could introduce her sister to him.
But now, Jiang Mengyu had actually returned, and her little schemes had fallen through.
