Chapter 337 Straight to the Point
Hai Xue could say, "You are an ungrateful person; I can’t take you in."
But after all, her grandfather had been kind to her, and he had entrusted her to take care of his granddaughter in the future. If she forcefully sent her away, it seemed a bit too heartless.
Seeing the look on Hai Xue’s face, it seemed she still had reservations about her grandfather’s kindness.
Ye Qing was secretly delighted in her heart and spoke urgently, "Mom, listen to me. I really didn’t know it’s because of treating my disease that she ran into trouble. I heard when I was buying groceries that she ran away from home.
I also heard that Brother Dongxing has been looking for her, and his work has been affected because of her, so—although she saved me, I am not familiar with her, and it was Brother Dongxing who asked her to save me. Therefore, I only owe a debt of gratitude to Brother Dongxing.
I heard about Brother Dongxing’s situation because of her, and indeed I was dissatisfied with her at that time, but I didn’t mean to slander her intentionally.
Mom, my dad doesn’t want me, my stepmother and stepsister only want to harm me, I only have you and Brother Dongxing left as family members. If you send me away, I—I won’t be able to survive."
Hai Xue heard that it was because her son asked that Jiang Mengyu treated her, she attributes the favor to her son, and the object of gratitude is also her son, so it seemed she didn’t really do anything wrong.
The definition of ungratefulness in her mind seemed a bit skewed.
From what Ye Qing had just expressed, it wasn’t that she was ungrateful, but rather, the object of her gratitude was not Jiang Mengyu.
Besides, because she was standing on her son’s side that she was dissatisfied with Jiang Mengyu, as a mother, she naturally liked others to defend her son.
Therefore, the dissatisfaction with Ye Qing in her heart dissipated like smoke.
Moreover, Old Sir Ye did take very good care of her at that time; otherwise, Yang Meiyin would have moved in much earlier.
She bent down, helped Ye Qing up: "You child, why kneel at every turn? Get up quickly. I was only letting you go back for the New Year’s, not saying you can’t come back."
Gu Dongxing listened to the conversation between the two women in the kitchen, feeling quite helpless with his mother.
He had already known that his mother had a soft heart, but didn’t expect that Ye Qing, with just a few words, made her dismiss her doubts about Ye Qing’s character and rendered his own efforts futile.
Forget it, if hints don’t work, then let’s take a more straightforward and direct approach.
He swiftly entered the kitchen and said directly to Ye Qing: "Ye Qing, you should go back. If you continue to stay here, it can lead to misunderstandings, especially with my fiancée. After all, no fiancée can tolerate a former childhood betrothed living in her future husband’s home."
Ye Qing didn’t expect that just as she had persuaded Hai Xue, Gu Dongxing was trying to send her away, and directly using the misunderstanding his fiancée could have as reason.
Does that country bumpkin weigh so heavily in his heart? So much so that for fear she might misunderstand, he has to send his own childhood friend away?
Angered in her heart, her face only showed a very sad and upset expression: "Brother Dongxing, do you really want to send me away? You promised my dad to take care of me." She hoped that her vulnerability would once again trigger Gu Dongxing’s protective instinct.
"Ye Qing, I’ve already told you, your father’s entrustment and my promise were all conditional, and the condition was that your illness was incurable, only giving you three to five years to live.
Now that your disease has been cured, that condition no longer exists. The entrustment from your father and my promise have lost their grounds, so.
I already told you last time to go back, you said you wanted to visit my mother, now you have visited my mother and have stayed for almost a month, it’s time to go back. I don’t want my fiancée to misunderstand that I have inappropriate feelings for you. My heart can only hold one person, and that’s my fiancée."
