Chapter 931: Ye Qing Eavesdropping
Ye Qing followed Gu Ming to the Old Friend Tea House. Afterward, she saw Gu Dongxing’s two aunts enter the tea house one after the other.
She followed inside but was stopped by the Tea Master: "Are you buying tea or drinking tea?"
Ye Qing pointed to the three who just entered: "Of course, I’m here to drink tea. I want the room next to theirs."
The Tea Master led her to the room next to Gu Ming’s, and she ordered a pot of tea, poured herself a cup, then walked to the balcony.
This room shares a balcony with the other private room, but if one intends to discuss important matters, the door leading to the balcony should be closed for soundproofing. Otherwise, nothing can be heard from next door.
But Gu Ming and the others were discussing Gu Dongxing’s engagent, and they had no intention of hiding it. Naturally, the balcony door wasn’t closed.
Standing on the balcony, Ye Qing easily overheard most of the conversation from the next room.
"Ming, what’s that girl’s na? How does she look? What’s her personality like? What’s her family background? Is she a good match for Dongxing?" This was Gu Dongxing’s second aunt, Gu Qin’s voice.
Gu Ming was a bit amused and exasperated: "Second Sister, where should I start with all your questions?"
Yet, he still answered earnestly: "Her na is Jiang ngyu. She’s very beautiful, her personality seems quite straightforward and genuine. As for her family, I heard she’s an orphan. But she’s very capable, a student at the Chinese dicine College, and she can cook a great al. Though she is a bit young, only seventeen this year. In my view, she’s more than suitable for Dongxing."
Outside on the balcony, Ye Qing suddenly felt a blow: More than suitable for Dongxing?
Ye Qing felt she was purely torturing herself by coming here to eavesdrop!
"So young?" Gu Qin was displeased: "Wait till she’s twenty, won’t Dongxing be thirty by then?"
"Sigh, who says otherwise?" Gu Ying sighed: "But it’s difficult to find soone who isn’t intimidated by Dongxing’s cold deanor."
Ye Qing almost wanted to rush in and recomnd herself. She wasn’t afraid of Gu Dongxing’s cold deanor; her age was just right!
"Who says otherwise." Gu Qin sighed too: "I heard both sisters from the Ye Family like Dongxing. That Ye Qing even got engaged to Dongxing before."
"Don’t ntion those two." Gu Ying scoffed: "Back then, when Dongxing went to the countryside with his mother, their Ye Family didn’t regard Dongxing seriously. Otherwise, how did they end up marrying off Ye Qing?"
Thinking of the Ye Family’s actions made Gu Ming uncomfortable too.
"Humph, the worst part is, after the daughter got married, they didn’t care how she was doing. Coincidentally, Jiu He from the Cheng Family saw her and told Dongxing.
Dongxing, kind-hearted as he is, rescued her and had soone cure her illness. Recently, I heard she ca back but didn’t return to the Ye Family."
"She didn’t use the engagent to cling to Dongxing, did she?" Gu Qin asked.
"What engagent? She has already been married once. When she got married, that engagent was nullified. Even if Ye Qing wanted to return, our Dongxing couldn’t take her, right? Otherwise, people might think Dongxing has no other options."
Ye Qing, biting her lip on the balcony: Even if I’ve been married, I’m still pure. Why can’t the engagent be renewed?
The people in the next room didn’t hear Ye Qing’s inner thoughts, and Gu Qin angrily said: "Their Ye Family really doesn’t regard our Gu Family seriously. Without a word about the engagent, they married off their daughter. Then when the daughter divorced, they want Dong to marry their twice-married daughter. This is a matter of character! Ming, you’ve got to be careful in the future not to get too close to the Ye Family and be tricked or hard by them."
Gu Ming: "..."
Am I that easy to deceive?
