Chapter 135: The Call Interrupted Their Conversation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Che had no choice and said to her, “You’re not thinking properly. I’ll go pick you and you can stay with me tonight.”
“5555, I didn’t do it on purpose too. I’m so unlucky. It’s all because of that Zhou Minhan who was pestering me downstairs.”
Lin Che got the address and asked Chen Yucheng, “What district is this? I need to go pick up a friend.”
Chen Yucheng said, “Madam, you can just stay here and keep President Gu company. I’ll help you pick your friend.”
Lin Che replied, “You probably won’t be able to find it…”
“Isn’t she that friend who was drunk at the bar last time?” Chen Yucheng said plainly.
“Yes.”
“I know where she is staying,” as he spoke, Chen Yucheng took his keys and left.
Lin Che then recalled that he had sent Shen Youran home before.
Inside, the nurse was examining Gu Jingze.
She finished quickly and Lin Che asked, “How is he?”
The nurse replied, “We still need to wait for Dr. Chen to get back before we’ll know. But from what I can see, it’s gastroenteritis. It shouldn’t be a big problem. Don’t worry, Madam.”
Lin Che said depressingly, “How can gastroenteritis hurt for so long? I’ve never had that kind of pain.”
The nurse laughed and said, “Different bodies react differently. Madam’s body may be perfectly fine, but maybe Mr. Gu’s digestive system is weak to begin with.”
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze guiltily, “I won’t let you eat junk food anymore. I forgot you never ate this kind of food too. You’re always eating so healthy that you’re definitely not used to it. Also, you’re older now. You’re going to be 30 soon, you…”
“…” Gu Jingze immediately looked up when he heard her talking about how old he was.
He looked at her intensely, “What did you say?”
Lin Che continued, “Well, you are! You must admit your age. You’re not a kid anymore who can recover quickly, so you need to be more cautious.”
This was the second time in a row she complained about his age!
Gu Jingze stared hard at her. Lin Che soon realized that she had said too much again.
Seriously, a man still cared about this?
How petty.
However, even if so, Lin Che decided to quickly shut her mouth.
She laughed dryly. Luckily at this time, Gu Jingze’s phone rang.
Gu Jingze bent down to see the words on the screen and impatience flashed across his eyes.
It was Mo Huiling…
Mo Huiling had been locked at home for a few days now. Even though she was angry and helpless, she eventually thought through and understood many things.
What her father said was right. Men did not like women who were too clingy. She did not have any competition last time, so Gu Jingze was nice to only her. Now, she could not be so stubborn.
Mo Huiling thought that she was not worse off than Lin Che. Her family background was decent and wealthy; she was a rich lady. There was no way a stray cat like Lin Che could compare to her.
Also, Lin Che was just a front. Gu Jingze may think that she was fine for now, but it was only because she was new. Lin Che had only been around for a short amount of time unlike herself. She had been with Gu Jingze for so many years so their feelings were definitely real. Lin Che could not compare to that.
Thus, Mo Huiling promised her father that she knew what she should do. In any case, she would not implicate the Mo family again.
Only then did her father let her out.
Mo Huiling immediately thought about calling Gu Jingze. She could not contain herself after not being in contact with him for so many days. She felt that she had been abandoned.
Gu Jingze picked up the phone and said, “What’s wrong?”
Mo Huiling heard Gu Jingze’s voice and softened her own, “Jingze, what are you doing?”
Gu Jingze said, “I’m busy. Is there anything?”
Mo Huiling quickly said, “Nothing. The way you put it, it’s as if I always have something up. I just wanted to apologize to you. Everything before was my fault and I got anxious. These few days, I was reflecting on myself at home and realized that I was like acting like I was possessed. That’s why I was so stubborn and immature. I won’t be like that in the future.”
Gu Jingze sighed and said to Mo Huiling, “As long as you know your mistakes. If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.”
“Okay, you go ahead. Meet me when you’re free.”
“Hm.”
Gu Jingze hung up and looked at Lin Che, “She was too nonsensical last time. Now, she’s apologetic.”
Lin Che pretended not to hear. Otherwise, she did not know what to say. She was always so awkward when she talked.
She never talked about anyone behind their backs. Anyway, this was between the two of them and it was up to them to handle it.
Mo Huiling hung up and thought that Gu Jingze sounded lethargic. He did not seem like he was in a good mood.
Did something happen?
Mo Huiling asked people to find out.
When Mo Huiling and Gu Jingze were still together, she knew a few connections. They know her special relationship with Gu Jingze, so they quickly told Mo Huiling that Gu Jingze went out to eat with Lin Che and had an upset stomach. Now, he had gastroenteritis and was receiving treatment at Dr. Chen’s.
Mo Huiling heard and almost threw her phone in a fit of anger.
“Lin Che… Lin Che again,” she clenched her fists and tried to calm down.
She could not be so rash again now. This matter definitely required a long term strategy.
She needed to go back to how she was like in Gu Jingze’s eyes in the past.
Now, she needed to bite the bullet and properly plan for her future.
On the other side.
Chen Yucheng finally returned.
He walked in with Shen Youran. She looked at Chen Yucheng take big strides while not caring about how she looked herself. She pouted and looked ahead, “Hey, this is your home? It’s huge.”
Chen Yucheng was speechless. He turned back and glanced over her, “This is my clinic. Can you stay in a place like this?”
What kind of eyes did she have?
Shen Youran said, “So be it. How was I supposed to know?”
Gu Jingze and Lin Che were inside. They heard the two talking as they came in from outside.
Shen Youran entered and saw Gu Jingze sitting there. Even though he had a drip on and looked indifferent, he still looked so bright and prominent; it was as if he was emitting light.
She did not expect Gu Jingze to be there.
Surprised, she exclaimed, “Ah, isn’t this Gu… President Gu? I finally got to meet him live in person.”
“…”
Lin Che said, “Shen Youran!”
She said embarrassingly to Gu Jingze, “This is my friend I was telling you about. Shen Youran.”
Chen Yucheng stood behind and rolled his eyes. What an idiot. How was there such an idiotic woman on Earth?
However, Lin Che was also quite an idiot actually.
Thinking about it, they weren’t good friends for nothing.
Shen Youran was surprised for a while and then she got over it. She smiled and looked at Lin Che, thinking that it was very miraculous that the two of them were husband and wife.
Lin Che pulled Shen Youran and asked, “What’s wrong with you? How did you end up leaving your keys in your room?”
Shen Youran replied, “I didn’t mean for it to happen. It’s not like you don’t know that jerk ex-boyfriend of mine who came to pester me for no reason. My parents brought my sister down to the countryside and I didn’t want to tag along to get nagged. The culture there is bad. I’m only 23, but they’re already urging me to get married. There’s no way I’m going back there to hear them nag. But at that moment, Zhou Minhan came. I panicked and went downstairs to stop him. Otherwise, I don’t know what my neighbors would think if they saw him. Who knew…”
