Chapter 293: Only Set on Mengyu
Gu Dongxing nodded: "Her illness has already been cured, I plan to send her back home."
Hai Xue was worried: "But didn’t you say that her father has already entrusted her to you?"
Her son may be muddle-headed, but Hai Xue was not.
Agreeing to take care of a woman, moreover, one who had been previously engaged in childhood betrothal, she understood all too well what that implied.
Although, she felt sympathy for Ye Qing’s misfortunes. Sympathy is one thing, but accepting this Ye Qing as her daughter-in-law is something she was truly reluctant to do.
It’s said that the man was useless, and it’s very likely that Ye Qing is still a maiden.
But considering her father-in-law could disgustingly plot for the sake of ensuring an heir by getting his son’s former wife pregnant, who knows what might have been done to Ye Qing?
After all, Ye Qing had lived at the Sun Family for two years!
Even if she hadn’t been harmed in any way, she was still a woman who would be marrying for the second time, and definitely not a match for her son.
Seeing the look on his mother’s face, Gu Dongxing understood her thoughts.
He said very firmly: "Mom, in this lifetime, there’s only one woman for me to marry and that’s Mengyu. I won’t marry anyone other than her. I’ve already told Uncle Ye the same thing.
So you don’t have to worry that I will have anything to do with her. As for Uncle Ye’s entrusted care—"
A hint of coldness flashed through Gu Dongxing’s eyes: "I made it very clear to Uncle Ye from the beginning, Ye Qing already married, and I already have a fiancée, our verbal marriage agreement was voided from the day Ye Qing married."
Hearing her son speak to this point, Hai Xue felt quite distressed: if you do not intend to honor the marriage agreement, how could you promise her father to take care of her?
Gu Dongxing knew what his mother wanted to say, and to be honest, after seeing Mengyu’s attitude toward Jiu He, he knew his promise was a mistake.
"I promised Uncle Ye to take care of Ye Qing because at the time, Ye Qing had progeria, and moreover, modern medicine lacked effective treatment for it, and she had been diagnosed by doctors with not more than three to five years to live.
With her weakened body remaining at the Ye Family, Uncle Ye had no time to care for her, and neither her stepmother nor step-siblings would care for her, so she wouldn’t have received good care staying at the Ye Family.
To make her last days a bit more comfortable, I thought about bringing her home, entrusting her to your care.
But now, her illness has already been cured by Mengyu. She no longer needs anyone’s care and can live well, so I definitely won’t keep her."
Hearing the two words "Mengyu," and recalling the little girl who came to wish her a happy birthday, Hai Xue felt a bit uncomfortable.
That girl had walked off without saying much; she didn’t seem to take her son seriously at all.
Her son was so outstanding, surely he wouldn’t struggle to find a woman?
But seeing her son so resolute, as if he had already set his heart on that girl, she couldn’t say much more.
Besides, the girl turned out to be a doctor who could cure diseases even the Grand Hospital couldn’t manage; she felt that kind of girl wasn’t too bad. Sigh, she thought she would just observe her a little longer.
She sighed and said: "Since you don’t intend to be with her, then you should send her back as soon as possible.
Anyway, you’ve cured her illness, and that could be considered repaying the favor her grandfather did for us, mother and son."
She also wasn’t fond of Ye Sheng’s way of imposing obligation in return for favors. Old Sir Ye being kind to her was true, but it couldn’t be repaid at the expense of her son’s lifetime happiness.
In the living room, Ye Qing’s eyes were on the photos hanging on the wall, but actually, her ears were attentively listening to the conversation inside.
