Chapter 294 Ye Qing’s Plan
Ye Qing’s ears had been a bit affected by Sun Erliang’s beating, but after Mengyu treated her, they even became better than before. Therefore, she managed to catch most of the conversation in the kitchen.
Hearing Gu Dongxing say that in this lifetime he would not marry any woman other than Mengyu, her heart ached tremendously.
When she heard Hai Xue mentioned that by curing her as a way of repaying her grandfather’s kindness, her hatred for Mengyu intensified.
Ye Qing thought if her illness had not been cured, even if she had only three to five years left to live, she would still willingly stay by Brother Dongxing’s side.
But now, because her illness was cured by Mengyu and Hai Xue believed the debt to her grandfather was repaid, does that mean Gu Dongxing will not care about her anymore?
If that was the case, she would rather not have been cured by Jiang Mengyu!
No, she must find a way to stay!
Afterwards, Hai Xue took good care of Ye Qing, even killing an egg-laying hen to treat her.
During meals, Hai Xue would also transfer the best dishes into her bowl.
Ye Qing knew in her heart that this was Hai Xue’s way of releasing her own guilt.
Thinking that curing her illness was enough to repay her grandfather’s kindness and wanting her to leave? She refused to go.
She deliberately steered the conversation towards her grandfather: "Auntie, you don’t know, after you left, my grandfather often mentioned you. He said, you were actually a good person, but it’s a pity, someone wanted to step on you, hence they took advantage of the fact you had overseas connections, to label you as a spy.
You don’t know, Brother Jin’s father, just because of having overseas connections, was accused of being a spy, and as a result, he was arrested and put in prison. He couldn’t stand the torture and committed suicide in jail after only a month.
It’s good that back then you were not labeled a spy; otherwise, I really don’t know what would have happened."
Thinking back to those times, Hai Xue trembled a bit, because of that troublesome golden lock, she had suffered a great deal.
She said with lingering fear: "Yes, at that time I really owe it to your grandfather, he spoke for me and I wasn’t mistreated."
Listening to Ye Qing’s words, Gu Dongxing frowned: Ye Qing has changed. She actually wanted her mother to feel deeply indebted to her grandfather?
Was she planning to use this favor as leverage?
He sighed softly: "Actually, Mom, you were too anxious; apart from that golden lock, there was no other evidence to prove you had any overseas connections, much less any spy activities.
If back then you hadn’t been so anxious and had simply denied the item was yours, or said you picked it up when you were young, they couldn’t have even confirmed any overseas relations with you, and you wouldn’t have been purged from the team."
Upon hearing her son’s words, Hai Xue realized it at once.
That’s right, she was too nervous at the time, she never wore that golden lock, and even if someone had seen it, she could have completely claimed it was found when she was a child.
Instead, she honestly admitted that it was something she wore as a child, it was her own honesty to blame.
Gu Dongxing continued: "In fact, Mom, since you were abandoned by the family since you were young, you never had any dealings with the Ou Family, so you didn’t have any real overseas connections.
If you had a strong backing, even if it did count as overseas connections, you wouldn’t have needed to be purged from the team; at most, you would have been transferred to other work.
As for Jin Ge’s father, he sought his own death; he conducted transactions in secret, and the transactions involved secrets, how could that be the same as with my mom?"
