CHAPTER 339: CHAPTER 339: YE QING’S DESCENT INTO DARKNESS (PART 2)

Chapter 339 Ye Qing Turns Dark

Ye Qing really wanted to shout: It’s clearly me who has the childhood engagement with Dongxing. Why wouldn’t any of you accept me as Gu Family’s fiancée and daughter-in-law?

Why do you all want to drive me away and make way for Jiang Mengyu?

But she knew she absolutely must not utter those words!

Because her ability to stay here was solely due to her overt statement to Hai Xue that she had no improper thoughts toward Gu Dongxing, simply seeing him as a brother, nothing more!

If she spoke out, she would only be driven even further away.

Ye Qing exerted a great deal of effort to calm herself down.

It seemed she had failed; she wanted to win over Hai Xue but because she was too hasty and said what should not have been said, she was completely ousted.

However, she still wanted to make one last effort: "Mom, I just wanted to spend more time with you. I only see Brother Dongxing as a brother. But since you mentioned being afraid of misunderstandings, I can’t not leave. Just, can I still come back to see you in the future?"

Hai Xue’s gaze was complex: "In the future—" She glanced at her son, saw his indifferent gaze, sighed, and said, "Once you have your own family, bring them to visit your godmother, of course, I welcome you."

The implication was, don’t come back alone.

Ye Qing finally gave up, feeling utterly hopeless.

She had been trying to please Hai Xue in front of her for nearly a month, and during this time, Hai Xue treated her very well.

Could it be that Hai Xue’s kindness towards her over the past month was all fake? As soon as it involved her son or Jiang Mengyu, she would change?

And Gu Dongxing, he was so nice to her before.

Hearing she was suffering at the Sun Family’s, he rushed to save her. Even though he saw what she had become, he didn’t despise her, and even risked overthrowing the Sun Family to rescue her.

He also accepted her father’s entrustment to take care of her!

But why, once here, did he change?

She merely said one bad word about Jiang Mengyu, and he heartlessly sent her away.

Truly, there are no good people in this world, whether it’s Gu Dongxing or Hai Xue, their kindness toward her was all fake, fake!

She closed her eyes briefly, and when she reopened them, her eyes had become calm.

"Fine, I’ll leave!"

Upon hearing this, Hai Xue was immediately happy but also felt she was being somewhat heartless, so she took out the money Gu Dongxing had given her over the years and handed it to her: "Take this money, live a good life."

Ye Qing had the dowry her late mother had fought for through Gu Dongxing, so financially she was not worried, but she still accepted Hai Xue’s money: it was what they owed her!

Accompanied by Gu Dongxing, she tearfully left Hai Village and boarded the train back to Beijing.

She would return to Beijing, yet she did not intend to return to the Ye Family.

From now on, the old Ye Qing was dead.

The reborn Ye Qing would no longer be the kind and weak figure who, despite being tortured as she grew up, still maintained her innocence.

Instead, she would be a Ye Qing who lived only for herself, a Ye Qing who would rather betray the world than let the world betray her!

She swore in her heart: Now that I am so humbly seeking your favor, and you all look down on me, one day, I will make you unworthy of reaching me.

No, one day, I will make all of you lie prostrate at my feet, looking up to me!

And Jiang Mengyu, don’t think I don’t know, her saving me was purely to drive me away from Gu Dongxing!

If it weren’t for Jiang Mengyu, even if Ye Qing only had a few years left to live, she would definitely be able to stay by Gu Dongxing’s side, being a happily pampered little woman.

Gu Dongxing is a man who values love, loyalty, and promises. If she was still that little woman with only a few years left to live, the premise of her father’s entrustment would still exist, and Gu Dongxing’s promise wouldn’t change.

Therefore, even though Jiang Mengyu saved her, she would not remember Jiang Mengyu’s life-saving grace, only the resentment of tearing her apart from Gu Dongxing.

Just wait, wait for Ye Qing to return, I will make all of you regret treating me this way today!
