Chapter 333: Promises Co with Conditions
Suddenly, Gu Dongxing thought of a problem.
Ye Sheng used Old Sir Ye’s kindness towards him and his mother to force him to accept his entrustnt. Could he also use Jiang ngyu’s life-saving grace towards Ye Qing to make Ye Qing leave on her own?
He approached Cheng Jiuhe with this difficult question: "Jiuhe, tell , how can we make Ye Qing leave by herself?"
Cheng Jiuhe looked at Gu Dongxing: "Realizing the trouble now, huh?"
Gu Dongxing smiled bitterly in his heart: "I’ve known it all along; the problem is how to make Ye Qing leave now. After all, I accepted her father’s trust and promised to take care of her."
Cheng Jiuhe looked at him disdainfully: "She has regained her health and beauty, haven’t you thought about simply fulfilling the marriage agreent with her?"
Gu Dongxing’s face darkened imdiately: "Old Cheng, what kind of man do you think I am? Do you think I am fickle?"
Cheng Jiuhe naturally knew Gu Dongxing’s character, but he couldn’t swallow his pride.
However, he still had to give advice.
Gu Dongxing was excellent at managing business and dealing with official matters, but when it ca to handling emotions and family affairs, he was utterly naive.
He beca serious: "When you accepted Ye Sheng’s task, was it not because he told you that Ye Qing wouldn’t live for many more years?"
Gu Dongxing nodded: "Yes. If it weren’t for her short life expectancy, why would I have accepted Ye Sheng’s entrustnt to make her last days a bit better?"
It was because Ye Sheng ntioned Ye Qing only had three to five years to live that he softened his heart, and considering the high likelihood that Ye Qing wouldn’t even survive these last few years if she stayed with the Ye family, he accepted Ye Sheng’s entrustnt to take care of his daughter.
Cheng Jiuhe spread his hands: "There you have it! Ye Sheng’s entrustnt of Ye Qing to you ca with the condition that she wouldn’t live for many years.
That ans his entrustnt was conditional, hence your promise was also conditional. The condition was that Ye Qing wouldn’t live long!
But now, Ye Qing’s illness has been cured by my sister, and now, Ye Qing has many years ahead of her.
The conditions under which Ye Sheng entrusted his daughter to you no longer exist, therefore the promise itself is invalidated.
That’s why I say to you, by keeping the healthy Ye Qing, are you considering simply fulfilling the marriage agreent?"
Gu Dongxing suddenly realized, he excitedly grabbed Cheng Jiuhe: "Right, why didn’t I think of the condition linked to his entrustnt? You are right, without the conditions of the promise, the subject of the promise no longer exists!"
In fact, Gu Dongxing had also thought about this reason before.
But his thought was only that Ye Qing should take the initiative to return, yet in his heart, there was still the commitnt to Ye Sheng, hence it was difficult to directly drive Ye Qing away.
Because he valued promises highly, breaking a promise, not to ntion not getting past Ye Sheng, he wouldn’t even be able to forgive himself!
Thus, he never thought about breaking his promise.
But Cheng Jiuhe’s suggestion of "the conditions of the promise" made him realize, even if he drove Ye Qing away, it wouldn’t count as breaking a promise. Because without the conditions, the promise also loses its basis!
"Ha ha, Jiuhe, you are really sothing, you damn smart, even smarter than !"
Gu Dongxing gave Jiuhe a punch.
Cheng Jiuhe smiled bitterly in his heart, Gu Dongxing had always been with his mother since he was young; how could he understand the complex rules within big families?
Growing up in such a complex family environnt, one is either forced to develop a sharp mind or is utterly consud! If he, Cheng Jiuhe, were not clever enough, he would have vanished long ago.
