Chapter 15 His Name is Gu Dongxing
Jiang Mengyu knew that Zhou Daleng didn't talk much, but every word he said was to the point.
Wanting to escape from their hands, he was indeed the most difficult one to deal with.
Jiang Mengyu retorted to Zhou Erleng: "You say your wife is on the cliff? When did she get up there?"
"She, she didn't climb up from below, she descended from above."
Jiang Mengyu showed a look of disbelief: "That doesn't make sense, there weren't many vines on top, nor did I see any ropes. How did she get down the cliff?"
Zhou Erleng was taken aback, then said: "She jumped off the cliff a month ago."
Jiang Mengyu almost laughed internally: "Jumped off a month ago?"
She glanced over the four men: "Do you all believe that someone who jumped from the cliff a month ago can be as lively and jumpy as I am?"
The four men were each taken aback: Jumping off a cliff a month ago, let alone being lively and jumpy, just from hunger alone, she would have been starved to nothing.
Zhou Erleng was stunned for a while, then with wide-eyed disbelief: "I don't care, anyway Lao Liu said that whoever comes down from this cliff is my wife. Big brother, hurry up and take her back to be our wife."
Zhou Daleng didn't move but looked intensely at Jiang Mengyu, as if to discern the truthfulness of her words.
Jiang Mengyu felt somewhat helpless. If it were an ordinary person, after hearing her say this, without having seen her before, they would believe her words.
But if it really were an ordinary person, I'm afraid they wouldn't stay for a month without leaving. I mean, would anyone survive a month on a cliff?
Facing such blockheads, she really couldn't clarify things.
If Jiang Mengyu hadn't gotten that storage talisman, hadn't made it recognize her as its master, and hadn't gotten various living supplies from inside, even if she hadn't died from the jump, she would have died of hunger over this month.
Of course, if she hadn't gotten that storage talisman, she wouldn't have lingered for a month either.
She showed an expression of helplessness: "I'm truly not your wife. You say whoever comes down from the cliff is your wife, if today's person going up to gather herbs weren't me, but my fiancé instead, would you still think my Master is your wife?"
Upon hearing that Jiang Mengyu had a fiancé, Zhou Daleng and the others hesitated.
"What's your fiancé's name?"
What's her fiancé's name? She had made up a fiancé arbitrarily, so how would she know his name?
Jiang Mengyu's eyes flickered, and she thought of the fiancé her mother in her previous life had arranged for her—Gu Dongxing.
Later on, Jiang Huaiyu usurped her identity, and this fiancé became Jiang Huaiyu's. Eventually, Jiang Huaiyu got married.
After Jiang Mengyu died, her soul followed Jiang Huaiyu for over a decade. This Gu Dongxing later became a renowned figure not only because his company entered the Fortune Global 500, but also, it was said, because his Combat Power was incredibly strong, making him quite famous internationally as well.
Therefore, affecting a coy manner, she answered: "His name is Gu Dongxing, a member of the Gu Family from B City. He's from the Gu Family that opened a factory in our county."
Upon hearing that Jiang Mengyu's fiancé was named Gu Dongxing and that he was from the Gu Family, Zhou Daleng grew even more suspicious and unsure.
The somewhat sly-looking Susu pulled Zhou Daleng aside and said: "Brother Daleng, that Gu Family is really powerful."
Zhou Daleng was also somewhat uncertain: "But I always feel like there's a lie in what she says."
Susu shook her head: "Big brother, do you really believe a woman who jumped off a cliff could survive a month up there? Lao Liu never prepared any food or water for her to live on."
Zhou Daleng also began to hesitate.
However, Zhou Erleng charged over: "I don't care, whether she's Jiang Mengyu or not, I've decided on her. I like her."
Zhou Daleng paused, then gritted his teeth: "If others can kidnap women to sell to us, why can't we kidnap a woman to take back as a wife? Just take her back with us."
