Chapter 264 Is This a Forced Marriage?

Just before being led to the execution ground, Sun Erliang was still shouting loudly: "I refuse this judgment, I am mentally ill, you can’t hold me responsible for my crimes!"

It wasn’t until someone yelled in his ear: "For murder, one must pay with their life; for debt, one must repay what is owed, it is the natural order of heaven and earth!" that he suddenly became disheartened and stopped struggling.

Sun Erliang finally met his end, and Ye Qing finally escaped from her misery.

Gu Dongxing felt, his mission should be complete, and he could leave now.

However, before he could leave, Ye Sheng, with Ye Rushui in tow, came to call on him.

"Dongxing, you’re back. Why didn’t you stop by to visit Uncle Ye?"

Gu Dongxing felt that this old fox appearing meant nothing good, he indifferently said, "Chief of Staff Ye is a very busy man, how could I dare to disturb him? Besides, it’s been a long time since I’ve been back, and I have some business to take care of, so I really shouldn’t trouble the Chief of Staff."

Ye Sheng was not pleased: "Dongxing, why do you address me as Chief of Staff? Our two families have been close; since you were young, you’ve always called me Uncle Ye."

Gu Dongxing could only very frustratedly call out: "Uncle Ye."

Ye Sheng was satisfied: "That’s more like it. I heard that you took back the engagement token that your mother gave to my daughter?"

Hearing this from Ye Sheng, Gu Dongxing braced himself, thinking here we go: "What engagement token? The engagement was casually mentioned by Grandpa Ye and my mom back in the day.

If it was indeed a real engagement, how come my father was never told about it, and moreover, why was it only the Gu Family provided a token, and there was nothing from the Ye Family?

Furthermore, if we truly had an arranged marriage, how could you have married off Ye Qing without discussing it with the Gu Family first?

I know Uncle Ye would not betray his word, so this talk of an engagement is really just a joke, don’t you agree?"

Ye Sheng frowned; this Gu Dongxing, with just a few words, had put him in a corner.

If you claim that the Gu and Ye Families had an arranged marriage, then marrying off your daughter without consulting the Gu Family would be a betrayal;

Since you’ve gone ahead and married off your daughter, it would indicate that the previous engagement talk was nothing but a joke.

Otherwise, the Ye Family would have to bear the stigma of betrayal.

And bearing such a stigma is something the Ye Family absolutely would not accept.

Therefore, Ye Sheng for a moment didn’t know how to respond.

He could only look towards Gu Ming, who was sitting beside him, hoping he could find a way out of this situation.

But Gu Ming didn’t want his son to marry the Ye Family’s daughter in the first place, so naturally, he wouldn’t step in to help.

Instead, it was Yang Meiyin who spoke up: "Dongxing this child really doesn’t know how to speak, how can you talk to your elder like that? The baby betrothal between your mother and Uncle Ye for you is as certain as a nailed board.

As for why the Ye Family married off their daughter, I believe there must have been difficulties. Besides, didn’t Ru Shui immediately seek a divorce after learning of the marriage arrangement?"

When Gu Dongxing heard Yang Meiyin’s words, he inwardly cursed, is she trying to force me into marrying Ye Rushui?

Gu Ming, having heard Yang Meiyin’s words, gave her a fierce glare.

What kind of way is that to speak? Isn’t this putting the reason of Ye Rushui’s divorce onto his own son’s shoulders?

By talking like this, wasn’t she giving the other side a reason to force his son into marrying Ye Rushui?

Sure enough, Ye Sheng immediately took up the point: "Yes, Dongxing, to tell the truth, I wasn’t clear about the specifics of your childhood engagement, and over so many years, no one has mentioned it. After the old Master passed away, it was even more forgotten. Thus, when someone came to propose, I married off my daughter."

Yang Meiyin immediately added: "We know, Ru Shui also only found out about the arrangement with Dongxing after getting married, and she immediately felt her family did something wrong and sought a divorce right away, just to rectify this mistake."
