Chapter 340: Admitting Defeat
Chapter 340 Admission of Defeat
Hai Xue watched her son’s departing car, her heart filled with complex emotions.
Although Hai Xue had helped her son send Ye Qing away, she was actually very dissatisfied with her son: he cared too much about Jiang Mengyu.
No matter what, Ye Qing was her goddaughter, but he had ruthlessly decided to drive her away.
Naturally, her dissatisfaction with Jiang Mengyu grew even stronger.
It wasn’t that she would choose Ye Qing as her daughter-in-law, but she also didn’t approve of Jiang Mengyu.
Not to mention, she had been looking forward to holding a grandchild for a long time, but her son had been focusing all his attention on his career, making her wish to have a grandchild seem infinitely distant.
Finally, her son came to his senses and wanted to find a wife, but the girl was only sixteen, and her son was already twenty-six. When would she be able to hold a grandchild?
Gu Dongxing did not know that the last person who had treated Ye Qing well had driven her away, triggering her to turn malevolent, nor did he understand his mother’s thoughts. All he knew was that he had finally resolutely sent Ye Qing away.
After sending Jiang Mengyu onto the train and watching it leave, he couldn’t wait to find his little treasure and report his victory.
Of course, he also had to assure her that he would automatically keep a distance from other females in the future. If he discovered any female showing interest in him, he would actively stay away, not giving other women any opportunity.
From now on, he would only be devoted to pampering his little treasure. Let all other women stand aside!
Gu Dongxing rushed back to the compound and sent Xiao Chen away from the car, wanting to drive alone to the county high where Jiang Mengyu was.
However, before he could get there, he received orders for an urgent mission and had to leave in a hurry, much to his regret.
Jiang Mengyu and her peers had just finished their exams and were soon to have a holiday. The group of young boys and girls chattered about their plans for the winter break.
Shen Qi’s father was about to be transferred, apparently to establish a new military unit, and naturally couldn’t take him along. However, as the eldest son, he must return to his hometown with his father during the New Year period.
"But, I’ll give the key to my courtyard to anyone who wants to stay there."
"Give it to me." Jiang Mengyu reached out and took the key: "I might spend the New Year in your house."
Shen Qi wanted to ask: Aren’t you going to celebrate with your mother, Mr. Wu? But he held back.
Wu Jiangsheng’s father was being transferred back to Beijing, rumored to be in line for a promotion. The family originally wanted him to transfer schools, but he adamantly refused to do so.
He was still thinking about the matter he had discussed with his father last week.
Mr. Wu was thrilled to learn that his son, perennially second place, had been moved up to the fast track class, and his academic improvement was due to a female classmate.
"Son, give it all you’ve got, dad believes in you, and as long as you get into the university, Laozi will propose for you! However, this winter break, you must accompany your father back to Beijing; your grandfather hasn’t seen you in a year."
Wu Jiangsheng was dispirited: "Dad, Gu Dongxing has already set his sights on her."
Mr. Wu’s eyes bulged, bullishly saying: "So what if he has set his sights? As long as they’re not married, you fight for her, son!"
But soon after, he realized what he had just heard: "Wait, who did you just mention? Gu Dongxing? Which Gu Dongxing? It can’t be—"
"Dad, it’s that Gu Dongxing you’re thinking of."
Compete with Gu Dongxing for a woman? Even I wouldn’t dare, let alone my son. What kind of luck is this, his son and Gu Dongxing fancying the same girl.
"Son, you’ve got guts!"
But immediately after, he chickened out: "Well, well, son, there are plenty of nice girls in this world, let’s find another one, shall we? Don’t compete with Gu Dongxing, alright?"
