Chapter 491: Cruel Rejection
Ye Mingzhu asked Yunniang and the new Aunt Ping to make more of the food that Luodou liked to eat, and Ruan Linlin also often brought back snacks.
But Green Bean was still thinner, and he always looked worried. When others asked him about it, he said nothing.
Only once, when Ye Mingzhu asked, he suddenly said: "Sister, tell me, do all mothers in this world love their children?"
"Of course," Ye Mingzhu nodded without hesitation, and then asked, "Do you miss your mother? If not, I'll send you back to the capital to live for a while."
Green Bean shook his head and returned to his worried look.
Ye Mingzhu had no choice but to ask Ye Yunan to pay more attention to Lu Dou for a while.
There's no hope of relying on Ye Wu.
During this period, apart from following Jiang Hongyu to work, Ye Wu spent almost all his time helping out at Sweetheart Place.
Jiang Hongyu curiously asked Ye Mingzhu whether Sweetheart Shop’s business was particularly good recently.
Ye Mingzhu smiled and said, "Fifth brother, that's not the real purpose of the wine."
Jiang Hongyu didn't understand: "What do you mean?"
Seeing that Ruan Linlin's attitude had softened recently, Ye Mingzhu simply told Jiang Hongyu: "Fifth Brother has taken a fancy to Sister Linlin. Recently, he must have been trying to please Sister Linlin."
"Fifth Brother and Ruan Linlin?" Jiang Hongyu's face was full of surprise: "How could it be the two of them?"
"Why is it impossible?" Ye Mingzhu asked back, "Although Sister Linlin has been married, she has no children and is now free. She is a good person and beautiful. It is normal for Fifth Brother to be attracted to her."
"Look at you! I haven't said anything yet, and you've already started talking." Jiang Hongyu was a little amused. "I didn't expect that Fifth Brother would actually fall for Ruan Linlin. Although Fifth Brother doesn't have an official position now, it's only a matter of time. No matter how good Ruan Linlin is, she's been married once, and she and her ex-husband didn't divorce after all."
"If Fifth Brother wants to marry Ruan Linlin, he must resolve this issue. Otherwise, when he reaches a high position one day, this matter will definitely be used by others to criticize him."
Ye Mingzhu didn't really think about it that deeply. She just thought that since the two of them really liked each other, this matter was not a big problem. However, she forgot that Ruan Linlin's identity was the biggest problem.
"Actually, I don't agree with Fifth Brother marrying Ruan Linlin," Jiang Hongyu said, looking at Ye Mingzhu's expression. "Fifth Brother has a bright future ahead of him. He could easily marry a woman from a better-off family. There's really no need for him to get married so soon."
Ye Mingzhu squinted her eyes at him and said, "A woman from a better family, do you have a target?"
"No, absolutely not. Fifth brother is your cousin, that's why I'm thinking about him so much." Jiang Hongyu took Ye Mingzhu's hand and said, "We agreed that we will share wealth and hardship together, and no one can leave the other."
Ye Mingzhu clapped his hands and said, "I didn't say anything. Look at you."
"I know, my wife is the best." Jiang Hongyu put his arm around Ye Mingzhu's shoulders and said, "Tell me, should I talk to my fifth brother?"
"No need. Fifth Brother's parents passed away early. He is actually a very opinionated person. I have tried to test him before, but he never said anything. Let's just pretend we don't know."
Ye Mingzhu knew that Jiang Hongyu's idea was right, but none of them was Ye Wu and could not make decisions for him.
Jiang Hongyu nodded and said nothing more, but the next day, he still found an opportunity to tell Ye Wu his thoughts.
"Hongyu, you mean someone has taken a fancy to me." Ye Wu said in disbelief, "I don't have anything I want and I live in your house. How could someone take a fancy to me?"
"How is it impossible? Fifth brother, you are young and promising. You will definitely reach a high position in the future. It is normal for someone to fall in love with you now. Let me tell you about the other party's situation." Jiang Hongyu said seriously.
"No need to say." Ye Wu shook his head, not even asking who the other person was. "I've fallen in love with Ruan Linlin and plan to marry her."
"Then do you know Ruan Linlin's past?" Jiang Hongyu was really concerned about Ye Wu and was afraid that he knew nothing.
"I know," Ye Wu nodded calmly, "Linlin told me that she was married before."
Jiang Hongyu frowned: "Then you know what? Ruan Linlin is not divorced. If you marry her, you will be criticized if her husband comes to find you in the future."
"I know." Ye Wu's expression didn't change at all. "Linlin mentioned this before. We will wait until things are settled before getting married."
Jiang Hongyu was a little confused by Ye Wu: "How do we solve the problem? Ruan Linlin's husband lives next door to our county. It will take several months to go back and forth. You don't have time to go back."
Ye Wu actually understood these problems in his heart, but he really liked Ruan Linlin, so he was willing to overcome these difficulties.
"Hongyu, you don't need to say anything. We can slowly solve these problems. I will definitely marry Linlin. You don't need to say anything about other women."
Jiang Hongyu wanted to persuade him again, but Ye Wu asked him directly: "Hongyu, you are now an official and will be promoted in the future. Will you despise Mingzhu for being just a pearl divers?"
"Of course not." Jiang Hongyu answered quickly: "Mingzhu is my original wife. This is a fact that can never be changed. When I married Mingzhu, I said that she is my only wife. This will not change."
"In that case, you shouldn't stop Linlin and me." Ye Wu said.
"That's different." Jiang Hongyu finished speaking and sighed: "Okay, since you have made your decision, I won't say anything more. But I still want to say that if you and Ruan Linlin want to get married, it's best to settle her previous marriage. Otherwise, it will definitely cause you trouble in the future."
Ye Wu knew that Jiang Hongyu meant well, so he nodded and thanked Jiang Hongyu.
Although Ye Wu did not let Jiang Hongyu tell the name of the person who liked him, he knew who it was. But he had already set his eyes on Ruan Linlin and would not change his mind.
So when a beautiful girl stopped Ye Wu and asked him why he didn't like her, Ye Wu said without hesitation: "The girl is very good, but I am not worthy of her. I am just a boy without parents and no official position. How could I dare to have any desire for her?"
The girl stamped her feet: "I don't mind."
"I do mind." Ye Wu answered seriously, "I know my status and I dare not delay the girl."
After he said that, he left quickly, leaving the girl crying behind him.
He went straight to Sweetheart Place, but found that it was closed. Then he remembered that today was the day Ruan Linlin and the others would go home for dinner. He went to the street to buy a roast chicken and other cooked food, and ran home quickly.
Before he reached the door, he saw a graceful woman with a maid standing at the door of the Jiang family.
