Chapter 229: Chapter 229: Nothing but a Backup
Chapter 229 Just a Backup Option
Gu Dongxing turned around and yelled at Ye Rushui, “Are you happy now that ngyu was driven away? Let tell you, Ye Rushui, even if I beco a monk for the rest of my life, I will never marry you! Give up on that fantasy!”
Ye Rushui’s face turned deathly pale, her body swaying as if about to collapse: “Brother Dong, I didn’t want her to leave—”
Gu Dongxing remained unmoved: “You should leave!”
“I—”
Ye Rushui had not expected that after triumphantly driving ngyu away just a mont ago, she would be the one being driven away by Gu Dongxing. She cursed inwardly, her eyes constantly glancing towards Mrs. Gu, hoping she would speak up and keep her here.
Gu Dongxing stared at her coldly: “Didn’t you hear clearly? Leave my house now!”
Ye Rushui bit her lip: “Brother Dong—”
She looked at Gu Minxing for help.
Gu Minxing imdiately felt pity: “Brother, there are no cars available at this ti, how can Sister Rushui leave now?”
Gu Dongxing cursed his sister inwardly for not being supportive: “How did your sister-in-law leave just now? She can leave the sa way. Are you saying she’s capable of sothing your sister-in-law isn’t?”
Your sister-in-law—Yushui felt as if she had taken a critical hit of ten thousand points of damage.
Gu Minxing: “…”
Madam Gu initially felt guilty for having misunderstood ngyu earlier, but seeing Gu Dongxing scolding Ye Rushui, and seeing Ye Rushui’s pitiful state, she began to feel sorry for her again.
“Dongxing, after all, she is your fiancée—”
“She is not!” Gu Dongxing refused to admit it: “It’s not the ti for arranged marriages and parental decisions. I won’t fulfill a promise I didn’t make myself.”
Madam Gu still wanted to speak up for Ye Rushui: “She ca to celebrate my birthday.”
Gu Dongxing, with a burst of assertive energy, coldly stared at Ye Rushui: “If you keep her, I’ll leave!”
Ye Rushui felt as if she had fallen into a deep freeze: “No need, I’ll go, I’ll go, is leaving not enough for you?”
Crying, she rushed out of the courtyard.
Gu Dongxing showed not a hint of pity, instructing Mrs. Gu and Gu Minxing: “From now on, do not allow her into our house.”
As he spoke, he walked towards the house.
In that mont, he had made up his mind. Xiao ng had said, “Don’t co looking for while you still have a marriage arrangent,” but she didn’t say he couldn’t look for her after dissolving the arrangent.
He would resolve the issue and then, as a free man, go look for her.
Damn it, who knew that he was actually free, yet sohow he ended up with a ridiculous arranged marriage? And it was with soone who wouldn’t stop pestering him.
Madam Gu, feeling sowhat guilty, followed Gu Dongxing: “But I promised—”
Gu Dongxing suddenly turned around: “Mom, do you really think that family values this marriage arrangent?”
Madam Gu glanced at Ye Rushui: “They ca all the way here, how can you say they don’t value it?”
Gu Dongxing looked at his mother: “Mom, tell , did they ever give you a token of betrothal?”
“A token?” Madam Gu felt sowhat confused: “I don’t think so.”
Hearing that the Ye Family had not given a betrothal token, Gu Dongxing understood — the Ye Family was treating him as a backup option. If they wanted him, they would present the token; if not, they could simply set him aside, especially since his mother couldn’t produce such a token either.
“Haha, they have the token you gave but you don’t have theirs. Mom, why didn’t you think more about this? They never took this marriage arrangent seriously.”
“How could that be?” Madam Gu found it hard to believe. After all, it was Family Head Ye who had approached her to propose the marriage, and she herself had hesitated about it.
