Chapter 272 Does He Want to Drive Me Away?
"Our situation is not the same as yours!"
Cheng Jiuhe really wanted to punch Gu Dongxing hard, crack open his skull, and see what he was actually thinking.
"How is it different? If you can recognize Mengyu as your sister, why can’t I recognize Ye Qing as my sister?"
Cheng Jiuhe wanted to throw a bucket of cold water on him, to wake him up.
"I acknowledged Mengyu as my sister because there isn’t the slightest other intention between us. For me, she is a friend’s wife whom one must not dishonor. I won’t have any other thoughts about her. For her, she has you in her heart, and won’t have any other thoughts towards me.
But it’s different for you and Ye Qing. You may have my sister in your heart and perhaps won’t have any other intentions, but what about Ye Qing? Can you guarantee she doesn’t have any thoughts towards you?
Besides, you two were even betrothed!"
Gu Dongxing spoke frankly, "No, Ye Qing won’t have any thoughts like that, I’ve made it very clear to her that I am already engaged."
But in reality, he wasn’t sure if Ye Qing had any residual feelings for him. One thing he was certain of was that for now, he had become Ye Qing’s only support. With not many years left for Ye Qing, he couldn’t just abandon her.
Cheng Jiuhe was both angry and furious. He saw very clearly the way Ye Qing looked at Gu Dongxing; it was unmistakably with affection. Bringing a woman who harbors feelings for oneself to one’s side, was he thinking that he and his own sister were too happy or what?
He said resentfully, "I’m telling you, if you dare make my sister cry—"
Gu Dongxing interrupted him, "I know, if I dare make Mengyu cry, you’ll make me cry. Don’t worry, I won’t make Mengyu cry."
Mengyu, that’s his precious one, his love for her is abundant, how could he make her sad because of himself?
Cheng Jiuhe sighed, "You should clarify the situation about Ye Qing to my sister as soon as possible. Don’t assume my sister is easy to talk to.
I’m telling you, in matters of love, both men and women are equally petty. No one can tolerate their lover having someone else in their heart."
Gu Dongxing immediately countered, "Mengyu is the only one in my heart. Ye Qing is just my sister."
Cheng Jiuhe didn’t want to argue, "Regardless of whether you mean it or not, by bringing her by your side, Mengyu won’t be happy seeing her. I advise you to send Ye Qing away as soon as possible. You wanting to take care of her doesn’t necessarily mean she has to stay by your side."
After thinking for a bit, Gu Dongxing said, "Fine, I’ll send her to my mom’s place."
Cheng Jiuhe instinctively felt something was wrong. Sending Ye Qing to his mother, was this like introducing her to the family or what?
But if Ye Qing wasn’t left to Mrs. Gu’s care, should Gu Dongxing personally take care of her? That would be even worse.
Therefore, Cheng Jiuhe had no choice but to fall silent.
Upon seeing Gu Dongxing, Ye Qing felt somewhat nervous, "Brother Dongxing, who was that just now? Did I cause trouble for you?"
Gu Dongxing was slightly irritated, "That’s my brother, don’t worry about him. He’s concerned about his sister—"
Ye Qing was startled, "His sister? Who is she?"
Gu Dongxing thought for a moment, then explained, "His sister is like you and me, a sworn sister. Her name is Jiang Mengyu, my fiancée."
Ye Qing became anxious, "So he’s your future brother-in-law? He won’t misunderstand me—think I want to compete with his sister for you, right? Does he want to drive me away? Brother Dongxing, please tell him, all I want is to stay by your side, I’m content with that. I won’t compete for a place with his sister."
Truthfully, she felt some resistance towards that man, sensing he might drive her away from Brother Dongxing’s side.
