Chapter 241: I Wonât Use My Son as a Stepping Stone
Chapter 241: Will Not Climb Up the Ladder Using My Son
Yang Meiyin was determined in her heart: No, Ye Rushui must not have a child. Even if her body is healthy now, she must find a way to make it unhealthy.
She had been married for four years without children and had already been branded as a hen that doesnât lay eggs. Even though she had married into the Gu Family, she would find a way to make her infertile, continuing to maintain her reputation as a hen that doesnât lay eggs!
Ye Sheng was unaware that Yang Meiyin, seated beside him, had already sentenced his daughter to infertility.
All he thought about was pushing his daughter to Gu Dongxing, firstly to settle his daughterâs lifelong issue, and secondly, to tie the potential Gu Dongxing to his own boat.
Ye Sheng sincerely said to Gu Ming, "Originally, Old Sir Ye thought highly of Dongxing. He often said, âYou assess people from their youth just as you assess a horse from its hooves.â Dongxing is not a fish in a small pond; he is bound to soar one day.
That year when Hai Xue was exposed for concealing overseas relationships and was nearly branded a spy, it was the Master who, valuing Dongxing, stepped in to prevent Hai Xue from being labeled as a spy, resulting in just her removal from her position.
Even Dongxingâs Master was found by Old Sir Ye, who called in a favor to have him mentor Dongxing. This demonstrates how much Old Sir Ye valued him.
We canât just let the old gentlemanâs wishes be unfulfilled simply because he is no longer with us, right?"
Gu Ming felt troubled in his heart. By mentioning all this, was Ye Sheng trying to coerce him with the debt of gratitude?
Although Old Sir Yeâs kindness to Hai Xue and Dongxing was indeed something Gu Ming was grateful for, he couldnât ruin his sonâs life because of this gratitude.
Gu Ming decided still to refuse. He wanted to say it wasnât that his family didnât want to fulfill Old Sir Yeâs wishes, but at the time, the Ye Family looked down on Gu Dong and married off both daughters.
However, just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by Yang Meiyin who was sitting beside him.
Yang Meiyin cleared her throat and smiled at Ye Sheng, "Brother Ye, what if we do this? Weâll call Dongxing back, let the two meet each other, and if they hit it off, then thereâs no issue."
Ye Sheng thought it over, then agreed, "That works. Itâs good for the young people to meet first. Maybe they played together as kids, and perhaps theyâll hit it off at first sight."
He didnât know his daughter had already sought out Gu Dongxing twice in the past few months. And not only that, but she was repeatedly rejected by Gu Dongxing, even driven away twice!
After Ye Sheng left, Yang Meiyin immediately spoke to her husband, "Arenât you just planning to climb one step higher? The Ye Family in City B is powerful. If we become relatives with them, couldnât they lend us a hand?"
Gu Ming angrily glanced at her, "Iâm not going to use my son as a ladder to climb upwards! Moreover, Gu Dongxing was raised by Hai Xue, I donât have the right to sacrifice his happiness for my own benefit."
Whether he could move up or not, he could only rely on his efforts. If it was through nepotism, even if he succeeded, he would feel unsatisfied.
Yang Meiyin was momentarily at a loss for words, "Uh, arenât I just thinking of your best interests?
Besides, itâs not us scheming against Dongxing; it was his own mother who made a marriage arrangement with Old Sir Ye when he was young. Old Sir Ye also had shown him great kindness. If he doesnât fulfill this marriage arrangement, wouldnât he become an ungrateful wretch?
If it really turned out that way, and the Ye Family spread the word, it would also affect Dongxingâs future."
Gu Ming pinched the bridge of his nose with his thumb and forefinger: Indeed, Old Sir Ye was kind to Hai Xue and Dongxing. Now, with Ye Sheng trying to repay that kindness by wanting to marry his daughter to Dongxing, thatâs whatâs really problematic!
