Chapter 1671 - You Need to Be Reasonable
Xie Hongjun gave Cheng Jiuyi a look: "And you call yourself a cousin? Don’t you know she’s Gu Dongxing’s woman?"
Even though Xie Hongjun didn’t appear around Mengyu, he had been keeping an eye on her. How could he not know about Mengyu’s big moves with Gu Dongxing?
He witnessed their dating, engagement, and marriage. He considered competing with Gu Dongxing for Mengyu, but thinking of Gu Dongxing’s tactics, and realizing Mengyu deeply loved Gu Dongxing, he didn’t dare to even entertain the thought.
Although he didn’t go in front of Mengyu to make himself known, he liked keeping up with Mengyu’s life, thinking maybe they would break up someday? As long as Gu Dongxing made the slightest mistake against Mengyu, as soon as they broke up, he would definitely be the first to be by Mengyu’s side.
However, Mengyu is not only Gu Dongxing’s woman but has also become sworn siblings with his big brother Cheng Jiuhe, making it impossible for him to make his presence known.
By the time they got engaged, he had even less of a chance, and when they got married, he knew he was completely out of the picture.
Yet, he still harbored a tiny glimmer of hope in his heart: Maybe someday they would break up?
This was also one of the reasons why he hadn’t dated or gotten married all along.
Cheng Jiuyi was shocked: "What, she’s Gu Dongxing’s woman?"
Gu Dongxing, his big brother’s closest buddy, ended up becoming the son-in-law of the Nan Family?
"Yes, it’s been the case for four years already, and they’re married now."
Maybe, she’s even pregnant! Xie Hongjun silently added in his heart.
Although Xie Hongjun hadn’t cultivated divine sense yet, his sensing power was very good. He could sense that there was another life form on Mengyu.
She was pregnant, carrying Gu Dongxing’s child!
Xie Hongjun was depressed for a while but quickly gathered his emotions. Now that he was a cultivator, he shouldn’t be bogged down by sentiments of romance. This was also the second reason why he hadn’t dated or married.
Cheng Jiuyi patted Xie Hongjun’s shoulder, said no more, and after looking at the cleared eighth private booth, went to make a phone call.
Xie Hongjun stayed in a daze for a while, then returned to the office.
In the office, Chen Xinyu was watching TV while eating hotpot. Seeing her son enter, she quickly called out: "Son, you’re back! Come and have dinner."
Xie Hongjun looked at her: "Mom, please, don’t interfere in the shop’s matters anymore."
Chen Xinyu was taken aback and put down her chopsticks: "What, have you been bewitched by that vixen again? I told you back then to pursue her, then dump her, not fall in love with her till you’re trapped and don’t even marry anyone. Are you really planning to live like this for your entire life?"
Xie Hongjun was rather helpless: "Mom, you need to be reasonable. She hasn’t done anything to wrong you. But you—"
"How hasn’t she done anything to wrong me? If it weren’t for her, would your dad have divorced me? Would you have left and almost never come back? Want me to forgive her? No way. I’ll always remember she tore my family apart!"
If someone heard this, they’d definitely misunderstand that Mengyu had an affair with his dad. But who knew, people just discovered her mom had killed his dad’s childhood betrothed!
Moreover, back then if he hadn’t sent his dad to Mengyu for help, Mengyu wouldn’t have brought up those old matters for no reason.
But if it weren’t for Mengyu, his father would have died four years ago, and she’d still be a widow!
However, in Chen Xinyu’s view, she’d rather be a widow than a forsaken wife.
Alas, asking someone for treatment, yet holding a grudge against them—there’s truly no one quite like her.
