Chapter 283: Used Without Knowing
Ye Qing was taken aback, yes, she was an adult, no longer in need of othersâ care.
She was very clear that her father had entrusted Gu Dongxing to take care of her because she had been sentenced to death by the hospital, not expected to live beyond three to five years.
But now she had fully recovered, naturally, she no longer required any care.
At this moment, she suddenly began to hate Mengyu; it was her who cured her illness, not only leaving her in debt for the favor but also causing her to lose the right to stay by Gu Dongxingâs side.
"At least, let me go visit your mother, okay?"
Gu Dongxing couldnât say that she shouldnât visit, so he could only agree, "Alright, I still have time off today, Iâll accompany you."
Jiang Mengyu, who was currently studying in a group with Shuiyu, Shen Qi, and Wu Jiangsheng, was unaware that after curing Ye Qingâs illness, she had become the object of Ye Qingâs resentment.
However, even if she knew, she didnât care.
She had cured Ye Qing with a purpose in mind; she wanted to ensure Ye Qing could no longer use her illness as a reason to stay by Gu Dongxingâs side.
Moreover, she wanted to see what Gu Dongxing would do; now that Ye Qing was better, would he allow Ye Qing to stay?
If he sent Ye Qing away, she might consider giving him another chance.
If he let Ye Qing stay, then she would see no need to get involved with him anymore.
Gu Dongxing was indeed exceptional, with superb looks, a top-notch figure, and at the age of 26 had become a regimental commander with limitless prospects.
Mengyu believed that whether it was now or in the future, countless women would throw themselves at him, trying to oust her and take her place by his side.
Therefore, whether it was Ye Rushui or Ye Qing, their appearance did not surprise her.
But in Mengyuâs opinion, a man who does not know how to reject women was destined to have his wife forever battle with the women flocking to him.
A good man should proactively clear away those clinging women instead of letting his wife fight them.
Mengyu believed that Gu Dongxing could handle women like Ye Rushui, whose intentions were obvious, so Mengyu had never been worried when Ye Rushui appeared.
However, she could not afford to take lightly a woman like Ye Qing who concealed her motives well and played the weak just to trigger his protective desires; if he handled it poorly, she could become Mengyuâs biggest rival in the future.
She had no desire to spend her days battling a love rival; she didnât want such a life.
Therefore, the emergence of Ye Qing was perfect for Mengyu to see how Gu Dongxing would deal with the situation.
If Gu Dongxing himself couldnât reject a woman like Ye Qing, then Mengyuâs future life would be difficult, no matter how outstanding he was, she wouldnât want him!
However, she no longer had the time to monitor how Gu Dongxing handled these matters, because her study group had come to its first monthly exam.
If her team members did not show significant progress, her study group would be forced to disband, and they would have to return to regular school classes.
"Oh, isnât this our schoolâs celebrity Jiang Mengyu? I wonder if you can still maintain first place without the guidance of your teachers?" The speaker, naturally, was Wang Ya, who had been punished for spreading rumors.
Mengyu did not wish to bother with such a brainless, academically-challenged female classmate.
But even if Mengyu chose to ignore her, it couldnât stop others from speaking: "Wang Ya, havenât you heard? Itâs âmen and women paired, work wonât be tiringâ; they are studying together, two guys and two girls."
"Hehe, I get it now." Wang Ya looked at Jiang Mengyu disdainfully: "I heard theyâre even eating, living, and studying together in Shen Qiâs house. Arenât they afraid that after a year something extra might pop up?"
Everyone could understand what she meant by "something extra".
Some classmates then burst into laughter.
