Chapter 177 Old Master Ming's Heartache
"Gu Ye, don't go."
Mingyin was anxious to catch up with Gu Ye.
"Mingyin, that's enough." Old Master Ming was really angry. He banged his cane hard. "Aren't you ashamed?"
"Grandpa!" Mingyin sobbed sadly as she looked at her grandfather, who was getting angry at her for the first time.
"Miss Mingyin, there are plenty of good men in the world, why are you so fixated on a man who doesn't love you?" Uncle Ma kindly advised him, but was met with a cold glare from Mingyin.
"What do you know? All I want to do in this life is marry Gu Ye."
"Mingyin, you should just give up on that idea." Old Master Ming shook his head, not wanting her to repeat the same mistake.
"Grandpa, I don't care, I have to marry Gu Ye," Mingyin said stubbornly.
Uncle Ma couldn't help but shake his head at Ming Yin's unreasonable behavior, while Old Master Ming was even more troubled.
"I've done everything I could for you, but Gu Ye doesn't have you in his heart."
"Grandpa, Gu Ye is only temporarily bewitched by that vixen. If we find a way to make him see the woman's true colors, Gu Ye won't love her anymore." Ming Yin wouldn't listen to anything anyone else was saying.
"Miss, what do you mean?" Uncle Ma looked at Mingyin strangely.
"Isn't that woman clinging to Gu Ye just for money? Our Ming family has plenty of money. We'll give her a large sum of money and make her leave Gu Ye." Ming Yin thought she was very clever.
Grandpa Ming and Uncle Ma exchanged glances.
"Then let's do it your way." Old Master Ming was heartbroken. Was this the heir he had personally groomed? How could he be so foolish? In terms of wealth, the Gu family was no less than the Ming family. If that woman was truly after money, why would she care about their little bit of money?
Mingyin didn't notice Grandpa Ming's utter disappointment. She happily rushed to his side and gave him a quick kiss on his wrinkled forehead.
"I knew Grandpa was the best to me."
After Mingyin finished speaking, she ran away quickly.
"Grandpa, why did you agree to Miss Mingyin doing this?" Uncle Ma came over and helped Grandpa Ming up from the chair, asking in confusion.
"Since she won't turn back until she hits a wall, then I'll let her hit a wall. Once she feels the pain, she'll naturally stop causing trouble."
Grandpa Ming continued to sprinkle fish food into the water, and sighed softly, "Besides, I really don't dare to get involved in the affairs of these young people anymore."
"Are you still upset about what happened to Young Master Minghao?" Uncle Ma asked cautiously.
"How could I not? Although Minghao is a bit stubborn, he's not as stupid as Mingyin. If I hadn't stopped them from being together, would that tragedy have been avoided?"
Grandpa Ming grabbed a handful of fish food and scattered it into the pond. A group of koi carp rushed to grab the food, but Grandpa Ming's thoughts drifted back to twenty years ago.
"Dad, I'm sorry, I said I would only marry Xiang Wan in this life, and I can't break my promise."
Minghao suddenly abandoned his bride, ran to the garage, got into his car, glanced at Old Master Ming who was chasing after him, and resolutely stepped on the clutch.
"Minghao, you come back here right now!" Old Master Ming stomped his feet in anger, then ordered, "No matter what, you must bring that brat back to marry him."
Unexpectedly, it was because of his words that tragedy occurred.
His men chased after him in their car. To shake them off, Minghao sped up, but at a corner, he was accidentally run over by an oncoming truck and died instantly.
Thinking of this, Old Master Ming suddenly felt a pang of pain in his heart. He covered his chest with his hand, and even breathing became difficult.
"Grandpa, Grandpa."
Fortunately, Uncle Ma was there. He quickly took out some first-aid medicine from his pocket and gave it to Grandpa Ming, who then slowly recovered.
“Every time you think about Young Master Minghao, it causes you heart problems. You shouldn’t think about it anymore.”
Uncle Ma said worriedly.
"Little Ma, you're all I have left." Old Master Ming said helplessly.
He originally thought that taking back Minghao and Xiangwan's child would at least give him some comfort, but he didn't expect that the child would be so useless, which made him miss his deceased son even more.
"Grandpa, although I am not your biological son, I am more than your own. Although I cannot compare to Young Master Minghao's position in your heart, I will take care of you just as Young Master Minghao is by your side," Uncle Ma said sincerely.
Grandpa Ming patted Uncle Ma's hand, understanding perfectly.
"After I pass away, you must teach Mingyin well for me. Never let her do anything wrong, and never let her ruin the Ming family's century-old foundation."
He was already at the age of fifty, and there was nothing he couldn't let go of except Mingyin and the Ming family's legacy.
"I will, sir, don't worry." Uncle Ma nodded repeatedly.
Old Master Ming said nothing more.
Mingyin quickly found Chu Xinglan's house. Dressed in designer clothes and wearing sunglasses, she strode arrogantly into the Chu family home.
"Is this Chu Xinglan's home?"
Mr. and Mrs. Chu were astonished to see a strange woman walk in so brazenly.
"Sir, Madam, this woman insisted on barging in, and we couldn't stop her," the nanny said with a troubled expression.
"Who are you? Why are you barging into my house?"
Mrs. Chu looked displeased; she had never encountered a woman so presumptuous in front of her before.
Mingyin glanced at Mrs. Chu indifferently and said coldly, "Let Chu Xinglan come out to see me."
"You know my Lanlan? Are you Lanlan's friend?"
Mrs. Chu looked puzzled. She thought something was wrong. If he really was Lanlan's friend, why would he have such an attitude?
"Who are you anyway? You just barge into our house like that. If you don't leave, I'll have someone kick you out," Mr. Chu said at this point.
"I said I want to see Chu Xinglan. Tell her to come out and see me."
Mingyin took off her sunglasses, her tone arrogant.
Mr. Chu and Mrs. Chu exchanged glances.
This woman knows who they are, yet she's still so arrogant; she must be someone important.
Mr. Chu said to the maid, "Go and see Lanlan come out."
The maid hurriedly ran upstairs to call Chu Xinglan.
When Chu Xinglan heard that someone was looking for her, she came downstairs and immediately recognized Ming Yin.
"Xianghe?" But something felt off. Why was Xianghe dressed in haute couture? This was clearly not something a maid could afford.
Could it be that after being kicked out by Gu Ye, Xiang He hooked up with a rich man and is now coming to cause trouble for her?
Mingyin's lips curled up, revealing a smug, cold smile.
"Chu Xinglan, I'll give you 3 million yuan. Leave Gu Ye immediately."
5 billion?
Mr. Chu and Mrs. Chu looked at each other. The number was indeed huge, but their company could also make a profit of that amount. Moreover, Gu Ye had given them much more than that.
"I see now, so you've come here to steal my son-in-law from Lanlan."
Mrs. Chu's face immediately darkened.
