Chapter 228: It’s Unfair to Treat Me This Way
"My foster parents decided to sell me because they wanted to give my university placement to their biological daughter. Moreover, their biological daughter has already impersonated me and gone to university. It wasn’t until I came back that I exposed this."
Madam Gu didn’t expect that the Mengyu in front of her was actually a university student, and even a student from the capital’s university. Although her identity was impersonated, it certainly wouldn’t be difficult for her to retake the exams.
"Secondly, I wasn’t in the hands of the human trafficker for a month because, right after receiving me from my foster parents, they immediately sent me to Tiger Valley since the brothers there had high demands. They didn’t dare delay and directly took me and two other abducted girls into the mountains. On the way into the mountains, I jumped off a cliff to save myself!"
Madam Gu was shocked again; she dared to jump off a cliff? What a brave woman!
Mengyu continued, "I jumped off the cliff but didn’t fall to the bottom. Instead, I was caught by a pine tree growing on the cliffside."
She spoke about how she had nursed her injuries in a cave for a month, living off fruits and wild vegetables nearby. After coming down, she met a buyer and was rescued by Gu Dongxing, among other things.
"It’s not that I am clinging to Brother Gu unwillingly, but the situation at the time required it. I couldn’t go home and had to temporarily stay at Brother Gu’s place. To avoid affecting Brother Gu’s future, I impersonated as his fiancée.
However, I did not expect that Brother Gu would fall in love with me and he formally proposed to make the fiancée status official yesterday. I promised him yesterday that I would consider it."
Mengyu said this and turned to Gu Dongxing: "Brother Gu, I was indeed planning to agree to you today after seeing your mother, but now it seems you are no longer free."
Gu Dongxing eagerly tried to speak, but Mengyu stopped him: "I, Jiang Mengyu, hate being a third party the most. I will absolutely never be a third party in this life. Since you are bound by a betrothal, I will no longer engage with you. Farewell!"
With that, Mengyu turned and walked away without hesitation!
She, an innocent young woman, was described by Madam Gu as an impure woman.
Moreover, Madam Gu tried to drive her away just to vent on behalf of Ye Rushui. How could she possibly stay?
She is a person with pride, not someone like Ye Rushui who has a thick-skinned face!
Seeing Mengyu walk away, Madam Gu felt a sudden panic for some reason, as if she had said something wrong, done something wrong!
Just her sentence, "I, Jiang Mengyu, hate being a third party the most. I will absolutely never be a third party in this life," made her feel that this Jiang Mengyu was definitely not someone who would forget kindness and enslave Gu Dongxing by ruining her own reputation to force Gu Dongxing to accept her!
She wanted to call Mengyu back, but didn’t know what to say.
Gu Dongxing grabbed Mengyu’s hand: "Xiao Meng, it’s unfair to me if you leave !
I have never been engaged to Ye Rushui, and I never knew about any childhood betrothal! I never made her any promises, so why should I be responsible?"
Mengyu pulled her hand away from Gu Dongxing: "The sins of a mother are borne by her son. She is your mother, and the marriage she arranged should naturally be your responsibility. Therefore, Brother Gu, do not involve me further while you are still bound by this marriage."
Hearing this, Gu Dongxing was stunned. Mengyu had already pulled away from Gu Dongxing’s grasp and left without looking back.
Gu Dongxing hastily followed a few steps, wanting to chase after Mengyu.
"Brother Dong—" Ye Rushui weakly called from behind.
