Chapter 216 You Have No Right to Send Me Away
Wen Meiling felt a sense of foreboding when she heard Ye Rushui’s revelations.
She tugged at Ye Rushui’s sleeve, just about to interrupt her, but Ye Rushui, seemingly aware of what she intended to say, had already continued speaking.
"You’re just pretending to be an unmarried couple for Dongxing’s work before. Now that matter has been wrapped up, how can you still have the face to claim yourself as Dongxing’s fiancée?"
Jiang Mengyu thought to herself that it was true; she really had heard of her pretending to be engaged to Gu Dongxing.
Initially, when she was reborn, she did not want to go home and had to follow Gu Dongxing, who also didn’t want to let her go due to the espionage affair, asking her to leave with him.
Thus, as if possessed by a ghost or god, she proposed to move into the compound under the pretext of being his fiancée.
What she didn’t know was that Gu Dongxing had been interested in her from the start, which is why he agreed to let her live as his fiancée; he definitely wouldn’t have agreed if it had been another woman he didn’t like.
But, this should be something that the general public wouldn’t know, right? Aren’t the faces of those family members, and even the middle-tier leaders’ wives, showing surprise?
Sister-in-law Gao, upon hearing Jiang Mengyu and Gu Dongxing’s fake engagement, was also very shocked and even thrilled, her hostility towards Jiang Mengyu had dissipated quite a bit.
Everyone looked towards Jiang Mengyu, wanting to hear her explanation.
Especially Liu Yumei, her face even displayed disappointment.
Qin Xiufang and Zhang Qiaoqiao, on the other hand, showed anxious and worried expressions.
Luo Xiuyu, however, only flashed a look of surprise, then her expression returned to normal, as if it didn’t bother her at all whether Jiang Mengyu was Gu Dongxing’s fiancée.
However, her expression did not turn cold like those of the three middle-tier leaders’ wives.
Jiang Mengyu saw everyone’s reactions and thought to herself that indeed, among these people, only Qin Xiufang and Zhang Qiaoqiao genuinely worried for her.
Luo Xiuyu likely was someone not easily moved by feelings, and as for people like Liu Yumei, who only have their own interests in mind, it would be best to interact less in the future.
As for the three middle-tier leaders’ wives, just maintain a superficial relationship.
Seeing everyone looking at her, Jiang Mengyu smiled and said: "Whether Brother Gu and I are real or fake, you can very well ask Brother Gu himself. If he says it’s real, then it’s real; if he says it’s fake, then it’s fake. Not to mention being an unmarried couple, even if we were married, there’s still a possibility of divorce.
But regardless of what our relationship is, it’s our own business. Today, I am the host, and I have the right to ask you to leave, don’t I?"
Among the three middle-tier leaders’ wives, Sister-in-law Li wanted to stand up to say a fair word. Although Ye Rushui’s words were unpleasant, sending her away seemed a bit too much.
Moreover, she had heard that this Ye Rushui came from Beijing and her family was quite influential.
But before she could stand up, just as she made the motion, she was held back by Sister-in-law Lin, who shook her head at her to indicate that she should not interfere.
Sister-in-law Li thought it over and sat back down to continue watching the drama unfold.
Ye Rushui, seeing that Jiang Mengyu insisted on sending her away and others did not speak up to persuade otherwise.
Even her good friend Wen Meiling, because she had just tried to stop her from revealing the true nature of the "pretend engaged couple", and she stubbornly went ahead anyway, seemed to not want to deal with her anymore.
She became anxious and continued attacking Jiang Mengyu: "You’re just a country girl living in Dongxing’s house, the feast you’re hosting is also paid for with Dongxing’s money, what right do you have to send me away?"
Jiang Mengyu sneered: "Yes, I am from the countryside, and I can’t compare to your nobleness. But today, the treat is indeed paid for with my own money. May I ask you to leave now? OK?"
