Chapter 304: Chapter 304: Reactions from All Sides Chapter 304 Reactions from All Sides Gu Dongxing was shocked: "How is that possible? I clearly accepted Ye Sheng’s entrustment to apologize and take care of Ye Qing. I was wrong. I should not have accepted Ye Sheng’s request to take care of Ye Qing. As for feeling helpless, it’s because my mother wants to take Ye Qing as her goddaughter, which I felt wasn’t right but was unable to stop, that’s why I felt helpless." Jiu He was itching to beat him up again, but he had no strength left in his body. "Why didn’t you just admit your mistake from the start instead of saying you came to apologize? And mentioning feeling very helpless? How could my sister not overthink when she heard that? If she has feelings for you, how could she not be scared upon hearing your heartless words? You’ve caused the death of my sister!" Gu Dongxing finally understood. The reason why Mengyu didn’t want to listen to him and wanted to escape was because she thought that the next thing he would say would be heartless words. She didn’t want to hear him say it herself because she had started to harbor feelings for him! He hated himself even more, pounding his fists on his chest with thumping sounds. Jiu He said coldly, "If you continue demeaning yourself like this, when my sister comes back from the mountains, with what face will you meet her?" Jiu He knew very well that his sister behaved that way because deep love bred deep hate. She must be extremely upset right now, which would explain why she ran away to hide in a place where nobody could find her. He estimated that they could search forever, but it would be in vain if she didn’t want to come out on her own. Indeed, after searching for several days, they still couldn’t find Mengyu. In the first few days, he could lead his subordinates to search together with Shen Qi, Wu Jiangsheng, and Zhang Shuiyu. Later on, after issuing a firm order, he had Shen Qi and the others go back to their studies while he continued the search in the mountains with a group of subordinates, taking turns with Jiu He, and conducting training while searching. He had searched almost every corner of that mountain range. Everyone advised him to give up. After spending several days in the deep mountains without finding anyone, it was very likely that the person was no longer alive. After all, there were large animals in the mountains, such as wild boars, wolves, and even bears. Everyone believed that a girl in such a place couldn’t survive for three days. Mengyu, most likely, was already dead. The school, upon hearing of Mengyu’s disappearance, was also extremely anxious. Jiang Mengyu was a promising talent, certain to bring glory to the school this year. But now she had vanished; how could they not be worried? Just as anxious was Teacher Wu, the class mentor. He thought very highly of Mengyu, not only because she could bring glory to him but because he genuinely liked this student, not just as a pupil but as his junior. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have deliberately given Mengyu the chance to defend herself in class against the rumors. Of course, there were those who were ecstatic upon hearing of Mengyu’s disappearance. The first one was Jiang Huaiyu, and the second one was Chu Zisong! Jiang Huaiyu was overjoyed. Firstly, she had always wished for Jiang Mengyu’s death, and now that she had disappeared and might very well be dead, how could she not be delighted? Secondly, with Mengyu’s disappearance, although the task given to her by the person behind her wasn’t completed superbly, it was still considered accomplished. Thirdly, if Jiang Mengyu was dead, she could take the opportunity to offer comfort to Gu Dongxing as a sister-in-law and perhaps win him over. For some reason, she always felt that Gu Dongxing should be hers! As for Chu Zisong, he was suspended because of the last incident and held a grudge against Jiang Mengyu. Thus, hearing about Jiang Mengyu’s disappearance made him so happy that he hummed little tunes. Originally, the news of Jiang Mengyu’s disappearance had not spread to Hai Village, so Hai Xue was unaware of Mengyu’s disappearance. But how could Ye Qing, who had her eyes set on Gu Dongxing, possibly not pay attention to him? Since Gu Dongxing promised to take care of Ye Qing, it also showed Ye Sheng her value. Therefore, when she left the Ye Family, she was given a Hidden Guard from the Ye Family.
