Chapter 230: Treated as a third party

Gu Dongxing didn’t allow her to back down: "How is it not possible? Just as one observes children from a young age or horses by their hooves, the Ye Family just liked what they saw in me, so they kept me as a backup plan. If I rise in rank, they might propose the marriage arrangement; if I fall, they surely won’t bring up this marriage."

Madam Gu was surprised: "Is that so? But it was them who took the initiative—"

Gu Dongxing, word by word, said: "If they also valued this marriage, why have they not contacted us for so many years?

Over these years, wearing the hat of a foreign relation, you’ve raised my siblings and me, how difficult have our days been?

If they truly cared about me, wouldn’t they have been concerned?

You know how well they have lived in the large compounds, as relatives, they sit on high, and just a little help from them could have made our lives easier.

For us, reaching them is as hard as reaching the skies, but for them, contacting us is just a matter of a phone call.

But did they ever do it? Did they ever ask us if we were okay? Did they ever ask if we needed help?

No, for over twenty years, they have not contacted us even once, otherwise, I wouldn’t be unaware of the marriage contract on my back.

It was Grandpa Ye who arranged the child betrothal with you, right? I’m certain, Grandpa Ye must’ve passed away, and then, Uncle Ye regretted it, they look down on me.

Although there are people who are unmarried at 26, there certainly aren’t many. Didn’t they ever think that if they didn’t show up for a long time, I might marry someone else?

Yes, the Ye Family doesn’t fear me marrying someone else, in fact, they would be glad if I married someone else. Because, they look down on me!

Even after I was promoted to battalion commander, in their eyes, I still wasn’t worth their effort, not until this year when I was promoted to regiment commander based on military merits, did the Ye Family feel they had underestimated me, and then, they immediately sent Ye Rushui over."

Listening to her son’s analysis, Madam Gu actually felt a chill in her heart: Is it really like that?

She immediately thought of something else: "That’s not right, if they look down on you, why has Ye Rushui been waiting for you? She’s a year younger than you, she must also be 25 this year, right?"

Gu Dongxing choked for a moment, yes, it’s rare for a girl of 25 to not be married, why is Ye Rushui not married at 25?

Could it be that she’s truly waiting for me?

No, it shouldn’t be like this!

He suddenly thought of Cheng Jiuhe who was on vacation in Beijing, and got ready to leave, but was stopped by Madam Gu: "Son, what are you doing? It’s Mom’s birthday today, you’ve come back, won’t you have a meal with Mom?"

"Uh, my head’s feeling a bit dizzy, I want to go out for a walk, get some fresh air." Gu Dongxing almost forgot that today was Mom’s birthday.

Madam Gu immediately showed concern for him: "Why are you dizzy all of a sudden? Haven’t caught a cold, have you? Mom will cook you a strong ginger tea, sweat it out and you’ll feel better."

Gu Dongxing was forcibly laid down on the bed by Mom, looking at the ceiling, he planned in his mind, the first thing to do when he gets back is to submit a love report, no, Mengyu doesn’t agree with dating, this matter must be put aside.

The second thing, is to go find Mengyu, apologize to her, and tell her that she’s the only one in his heart. He agrees not to meet her until the marriage contract is dissolved, but she must wait for him!

The third thing, is to immediately call Cheng Jiuhe, to have him investigate Ye Rushui’s situation; it has been many years since he returned over there, and he didn’t know how things were there now.

The fourth thing...
