Chapter 140: You Can Do Whatever You Like
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Perhaps it was because she had always been like this and had never avoided this hypocrisy, so it didn’t seem that hypocritical.
Gu Jingze knew that her so-called hypocrisy was not hypocritical at all. He knew that she was pure at heart and candidly silly. She was not being superficially materialistic.
Thus, Gu Jingze didn’t hate it. He even liked seeing her play around like that.
Gu Jingze said, “All these things don’t matter.”
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze, “If it really matters, you must tell me. I honestly don’t know a lot about these things. I don’t know what you guys can or cannot do.”
Lin Che did blame herself sometimes too. She felt that she was Gu Jingze’s wife but he was the one who was always helping her. She had not done anything to help him.
Instead, she kept causing trouble for him.
Because she didn’t know how she could help Gu Jingze either. She had no family support, no power, and knew nothing about business. From the moment she entered theatre school, she aimed to be a qualified actor. She loved to watch Judy act in The Silent Lamb. Judy Foster won two Oscars and had always been her idol. Besides being a qualified actor, what she desired the most was to be an outstanding actor.
However, all these were completely different from Gu Jingze’s life.
Lin Che tilted her head slightly and looked at Gu Jingze, “Sorry, Gu Jingze. I actually haven’t helped you before and even caused trouble for you. But I really don’t know much about these things. If you need me to do anything, you have to tell me.”
She did not want to be the one dragging her legs.
Gu Jingze gazed at Lin Che’s apologetic face and said, “I don’t need you to do anything, Lin Che. And I don’t want you to be some prissy princess or live like a rich man’s wife. This is my life and it is also yours. As long as you feel comfortable, that’s all that matters. You don’t have to change anything for me.”
“But I don’t want to cause trouble for you and I don’t want to drag you down either,” Lin Che said.
Gu Jingze smiled faintly, “A man must support and provide for a woman. Don’t worry. Your troubles are not a big deal to me. Even if you mess up more, it’s not going to trouble me that much. The Gu family worked hard over the years to be at the top. If I crumbled just like that, wouldn’t that be a waste of effort? If I can’t even support my woman, what’s the meaning of having all this power and money?”
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze and was touched by his magnanimity and comforting words.
Gu Jingze helped up Lin Che’s arm, “I’m not standing at the top to see my woman sacrifice for me. So you can do whatever you like. You don’t need to care about what others think.”
Lin Che was really at a loss for words.
Gu Jingze tugged Lin Che, “Let’s go and see what you might like. We didn’t come here to get nothing. We have to contribute a little to this charity gala.”
Lin Che heard this and became interested. She tugged at Gu Jingze and said, “So whatever I want will be mine?”
“Of course. The purpose of bringing a female partner today is to buy her gifts.”
“How nice. Heh heh. Then I’ll get the more expensive one.”
“Alright. It’s only been a short while and you’re already getting money-minded again.”
“Of course. You have too much money to spend so I’m helping you with it.”
“Fine fine fine. You can spend it.”
Although she said that, Lin Che honestly didn’t dare to ask for expensive things.
Seeing that the bracelet was considered cheap, she thought for a long time before finally deciding to bid for it.
Meanwhile.
Mo Huiling heard Gu Jingze was starting to bid for items and she looked up at the upper deck.
There was a VIP room where you could see everything below but nobody could see from the outside.
Since Gu Jingze was here, he definitely must have been sitting inside to avoid any disturbance.
Hearing Gu Jingze bid, many others put their bidding cards down. Gu Jingze very easily secured his bid for the item he wanted.
Mo Huiling sat there and overheard some people talking.
“Gu Jingze brought a female partner this time. It looks like he is buying all these things for his partner.”
“I think the lady he brought is an actress. Her name is Lin Che.”
“Gu Jingze is now good at this.”
Outsiders did not know anything about the Gu family. They did not know about Gu Jingze’s illness and only knew he kept to a low profile. He was not lustful either and nobody ever had any gossip about him.
Now that he brought a female partner with him, people were beginning to get nosey.
Someone at the side said, “This Lin Che doesn’t look bad. Gu Jingze has good taste.”
Mo Huiling finally couldn’t take it and said aloud, “What do you mean she doesn’t look bad? I think she looks very average and she’s only an actress. Her acting skills are very bad.”
People turned to look at her. Someone said firmly, “Miss Mo, you can’t say that. Her acting skills are not bad. I work in the entertainment industry so I know that she has rather good reviews.”
Mo Huiling simply could not stand to hear anything good about Lin Che. She already lost control and was staring hatefully at people. Then, she got up and walked out.
Lin Che was good looking?
Whoever wore such valuable clothing would obviously look good. It was all because Gu Jingze was rich, so she was able to dress up.
When she saw Lin Che at the beginning, she knew that Lin Che could look as shabby as she wanted to be.
Mo Huiling thought with hatred that she was going to snatch back everything that should have been hers. She was going to snatch back the man who was supposed to be hers. When the time came, she would make Lin Che go far away and live her life in misery!
When the gala ended, Gu Jingze left with Lin Che.
Lin Che turned back and took one last look at the place. She said to Gu Jingze, “This place is so huge. Ah, who knows when I’ll be able to come here again.”
Gu Jingze said, “I can always bring you here if you want.”
“Forget it. You’re too busy. We’ll come again when there’s a chance. I was just saying for fun.”
Gu Jingze replied, “I heard that the beds here are super soft. They are imported from France. Want to give it a try?”
“Get lost!”
The two of them returned home. After a whole night in high heels, Lin Che was exhausted. She quickly took a shower and went to rest.
When Gu Jingze got home, he received a call from Mo Huiling.
He answered, “Huiling.”
Mo Huiling asked, “Are you home?”
“Hm, I’m home.”
“I bid for a tie clip today. It’s especially for you,” Mo Huiling said.
Gu Jingze replied, “I don’t think it’s a good idea to give that to me. It’ll be better if you gave it to your father.”
Mo Huiling immediately asked sadly, “Why? Now, you won’t even accept my gift to you? I have no other intention. I just wanted to give you something as a friend and it’s just a little something. It’s not expensive.”
Although she said that it wasn’t expensive, it actually cost her two million.
