Chapter 158 How to Drive Away Jiang Mengyu
"He couldn’t possibly be coming to pick me up." Ye Rushui smiled bitterly: "He’s picking up that Jiang Mengyu."
"Jiang Mengyu? Where did she go?"
"I don’t know, but she was on the same train as me."
"Also coming from City B?" Wen Meiling was surprised: "What was she doing in City B?"
"Who knows?" Ye Rushui was somewhat despondent.
Before, it was fine not seeing them together, but today, she personally witnessed them in each other’s arms. There’s no way she could convince herself there was nothing fishy going on.
That eye-scalding image, every time she thought of it, felt like a knife twisting in her heart.
Did they really get together?
Really, get together?
That image kept reappearing before her eyes, not knowing how to calm herself down.
Unable to find peace, she simply stood up: "I’m going out for a walk."
Wen Meiling really wanted to help her but knew she couldn’t.
Moreover, her lover Vice Factory Director Yan emphasized over and over again to stay out of Jiang Mengyu’s business. She couldn’t go against his wishes.
After all, Gu Dongxing was her lover’s direct superior!
Thus, she could only watch helplessly as her good friend struggled through the torment of love.
Upon leaving Vice Factory Manager Yan’s house, Ye Rushui wandered around the courtyard unconsciously.
The streetlights illuminated the entire courtyard brightly. Unintentionally, she found herself once again in front of Gu Dongxing’s door.
She slapped herself: "How did I end up here again."
That scene two months ago still loomed before her, and Gu Dongxing’s words echoed in her ears: "I told you long ago we’re not suitable."
It was she who was wronged, dragged out by Jiang Mengyu by hand, yet Gu Dongxing only cared to ask her what happened, not a single word about whether she was hurt.
He truly did not care about her.
But she just couldn’t let it go. Compared to that country bumpkin of a woman, in what way was she lacking?
Why doesn’t he look at her, but instead fancies a woman who grew up in the countryside, rough and uneducated?
She wanted to turn and leave when suddenly she heard a voice from inside:
"Brother Gu, you’ve given me a home, but what if people misunderstand?"
Ye Rushui felt a jolt in her heart: Misunderstand?
Could it be, as Wen Meiling said, that their engagement was fake?
She quickly perked her ears to listen.
Only to hear Gu Dongxing say: "You silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? You’re still young, what misconceptions could people possibly have?"
Then the voice of Jiang Mengyu: "Everything else doesn’t matter. I’ve already carried the name of being your fiancée. It doesn’t matter if I have to carry it again. What I fear is, what if a girl likes you but doesn’t dare to pursue you because of me?"
Gu Dongxing thought to himself, this is exactly the effect I want.
But he said out loud: "What are you worried about? What girl would fancy a rough guy like me."
Ye Rushui almost blurted out: I fancy you!
But the words of Gu Dongxing still rang out: "I already told you, we’re not suitable."
At that moment, Jiang Mengyu heard a noise outside and couldn’t help but wonder: "Brother Gu, could there be a mouse in here?"
Gu Dongxing chuckled: "How could there be? Did you hear a mouse squeaking?"
"Yeah, I heard the sound of a mouse outside. I’ll go check."
Ye Rushui hurriedly hid behind a cluster of Dongqing bushes and crouched down.
"Did you see a mouse?" Gu Dongxing also came out.
Jiang Mengyu looked around and spotted a shadow behind the Dongqing. Her vision had improved a lot after her cultivation and she easily made out that it was a woman.
She remembered seeing the figure of Ye Rushui at the train station and guessed that Ye Rushui had come.
