Chapter 259: The Child Betrothal Wasnât With Ye Rushui
Chapter 259 The Child Bride is not Ye Rushui
Gu Ming was about to retort when Gu Dongxing pushed the door open: "Oh, I didnât know becoming an entrepreneur was all thanks to your Yang Meiyin?"
Yang Meiyin didnât expect that her badmouthing of Gu Dongxing would be overheard; she felt embarrassed for a moment, then quickly adjusted her mindset: "Dongxing, youâre back."
Gu Dongxing ignored her and instead turned to Gu Ming: "Dad, Iâm back."
Seeing that Gu Dongxing was ignoring her, Yang Meiyin felt vengeful: This time, letâs see how you escape the pursuit of the Sun Family.
Gu Ming nodded: "Good, youâre back, take a seat."
Before Gu Dongxing could sit, Yang Meiyin immediately fired at him: "Dongxing, I heard that you abductedâ took away the Sun Familyâs daughter-in-law?"
Gu Dongxing picked up a teacup, took a sip, and did not speak.
Gu Ming had no choice but to ask, "What happened?"
Gu Dongxing sighed: "I only found out a few days ago when I was a child, my mom and Grandpa Ye had arranged a child bride match between me and Ye Qing."
Gu Ming was surprised: "You didnât know before?"
Gu Dongxing nodded: "I didnât know. When my mom and I moved to the countryside, she thought that the Ye Family would not fulfill the marriage contract, so she never told me. Andâ"
He thought for a moment, then still spoke: "Grandpa Ye and Mom only verbally agreed on the marriage contract. My mom gave them a token, but the Ye Family didnât give my mom anything. Itâs clear they were planning on breaking off the match early on."
Gu Ming was astonished: "Your mom gave a token?" He had always thought that the marriage between the two families was just a verbal agreement.
Gu Dongxing took out the Carp Jade Pendant: "The token my mom gave was this."
Yang Meiyin immediately exclaimed from the side: "Ah, wasnât this jade pendant always around Rushuiâs neck? Your child bride should be Ye Rushui, right?"
Gu Dongxing snorted: "Ye Rushui merely plundered Ye Qingâs belongings. After Grandpa Ye passed away, almost all of Ye Qingâs things were seized by her stepmother and Ye Rushui."
Saying this, he glanced sideways at Yang Meiyin because, in his childhood, his grandfatherâs belongings had also, almost similarly under Yang Meiyinâs support, been taken away by Gu Xing.
"Regardless, since the token ended up in Ye Rushuiâs hands, the person you were betrothed to should have been switched to Ye Rushui. Then, the marriage contract you should fulfil belongs naturally to Ye Rushui."
Gu Dongxing coldly huffed: "A marriage agreement is not a business deal that can be changed at will. Moreover, the Ye Family married off both daughters, so their verbal marriage agreement with me naturally no longer exists."
"That Ye Rushui, upon knowing about your marriage agreement with her, immediately divorced Zeng Yicheng just to fulfil the marriage contract with you."
Yang Meiyin still refused to let it go.
Gu Dongxing: "As I just said, marriage isnât a commodity trade; it canât be exchanged. There is no marriage contract between me and Ye Rushui."
Seeing his son firmly refusing to acknowledge Ye Rushui, Gu Ming also breathed a sigh of relief; he was not favorable towards Ye Rushui.
Having the Eldest Son and first-born grandson of Gu Family marry a woman who previously sought connections with higher status and instantly displayed betrayal when her family fortunes declined, he was unwilling.
"Alright, Iâve already said, if Dongxing is unwilling, we canât force him. Furthermore, that Ye Rushui is not a good woman."
He turned to Gu Dongxing: "How did Ye Qing return?"
Yang Meiyin immediately chimed in: "Yes, even if you had once made a child bride agreement with Ye Qing, but sheâs already married and protected by the marriage law, so you have no right to intervene. How could you abduct her?"
