Chapter 255 Why Did You Only Come Now?
Gu Dongxing recalled what Cheng Jiuhe had said: "At the age of twenty-four, she was forced by her stepmother to marry a man named Sun Erliang, whose wife had died."
"That man suffered from intermittent mental illness. It was said that he had beaten his previous wife to death, but because he was mentally ill, he wasnât held responsible."
"If he didnât get married, his family would have to carry the burden of his condition, but with a wife, they could shift that burden onto her. Therefore, his family did everything to hide his illness and used Ye Qingâs stepmother to force Ye Qing into marriage."
The Ye Qing he regarded as his own sisterâjust because she lacked the love of her father and her mother was gone, she was treated so cruelly!
Ye Qing felt a gaze on her. When she looked up, she saw a tall, strapping man staring at her, his eyes filled with pain, anger, pity, and more.
"Youâ" She was about to ask something, but suddenly remembering something, she panicked, dropped the trash, and started running back. Her body was still abnormally bent at the waist.
Yes, not walking, but running. She wanted to run back to the yard and shut the door.
Gu Dongxing quickly stepped forward to stop her: "Ye Qing!"
"I am not Yeâ"
"Qingqing, have you really forgotten Brother Dongxing?" Gu Dongxingâs eyes showed confusion.
"Brother Dongxing? You are Brother Dongxing! Brother Dongxing, why did you only come now?"
Ye Qing suddenly threw herself into Gu Dongxingâs arms, crying bitterly.
"..."
Gu Dongxing didnât understand why Ye Qing initially reacted as if she had seen a ghost wanting to flee back into the yard to hide, yet burst into tears after knowing his real identity.
He patted her back: "Qingqing, donât cry, Brother Dongxing is here now; Brother Dongxing wonât let anyone bully you again."
Ye Qing cried for a long time until she finally stopped her tears and pushed Gu Dongxing away, feeling embarrassed.
"Itâs been a long time, I just couldnât control my emotions, sorry to make you see that."
Gu Dongxing shook his head: "Qingqing, youâve suffered these years. Iâm here today to take you away."
Ye Qing was stunned: "Take me away?"
"Yes, take you away. Iâve found out that the Ye Family actually married you off to a madmanâ"
Hearing the word âmadmanâ, Ye Qing suddenly pushed Gu Dongxing: "You go, just go, leave quickly!"
Gu Dongxing confused, just moments ago Ye Qing was crying in his arms in pain, and now she was asking him to leave.
"Sister Qingqing, what are youâ"
Ye Qing anxiously said: "You go, Iâm doing well, you donât need to worry about me, just go, never come backâ"
Gu Dongxing refused to leave: "But youâ"
"Donât worry about me, just goâ" Ye Qing was still anxiously pushing him, and even started shouting at him: "Just go!"
Just then, the yard door was flung open, and a man in his late twenties rushed out, grabbed Ye Qing, and raised his fist to strike her.
While hitting her, he yelled loudly: "You dead bitch, how dare you cheat on meâ"
But the hand that was about to strike Ye Qing was suddenly grabbed by someone.
And of course, the person who grabbed his hand was Gu Dongxing.
The middle-aged man struggled fiercely but couldnât get free; he then turned back to look at Gu Dongxing: "You rogue! How dare you steal my wife, Iâll kill you!"
His other hand, which had been holding Ye Qing, immediately let go of her and struck out towards Gu Dongxing.
Seeing this man stubbornly committing violence, Gu Dongxing boldly struck his hand down, chopping the man in the nape of his neck, causing the man to instantly collapse.
Ye Qing, in her struggle to get free from the man, revealed her arms covered in a mass of bruises.
