Chapter 239: I Don’t Understand Why Either

Mo Huiling glared fiercely at the man in front of her. Then, she turned around and simply walked out.
“Hey, Huiling, where are you going? The banquet hasn’t even ended.”
“Forget it. Don’t follow me around anymore. Looking at you irritates me.”
Li Mingyu’s eyes were flashing as he looked at Mo Huiling. She did look pretty good but there were so many other women who looked better than her too. Li Mingyu felt that she was not the one who could move his heart the most either.
However, everyone knew about the relationship between Mo Huiling and Gu Jingze. The reason that Li Mingyu liked her so much and was so enamored with her was precisely because he knew that she was Gu Jingze’s woman.
A woman who could play Gu Jingze into her hands had to be remarkably charming.
Li Mingyu gazed thoughtfully at Mo Huiling. No matter how bad her temper got, he tolerated all of it because she was Gu Jingze’s woman.
“Alright, Huiling. Aren’t you still jealous because of Gu Jingze? You’re jealous because there is another woman by his side?”
“Huh. I initiated the break-up. Of course, I’m not jealous. Although that woman is beside him, his heart is still yearning for me. Didn’t you see how angry he was earlier?”
Mo Huiling recalled his angry expression earlier and felt even happier.
It looked like this trick of hers had undoubtedly succeeded. Which man didn’t have the desire to compete?
Over on the other side, Gu Jingze looked on as Li Mingyu and Mo Huiling vanished together in the hall.
He did not chase after them a second time but merely stood there, confused about why he was so angry inside.
Perhaps he was angry because he still cared about her?
With a champagne flute in her hand, Lin Che looked at her surroundings. Mo Huiling had long left without a trace and Gu Jingze stood there dressed in black from head to toe. The gloomy expression on his face seemed to be at extreme odds with the warm atmosphere.
Lin Che said, “Gu Jingze, you…”
Gu Jingze turned his head and said, “I am indeed angry. Of course, I know that we’ve already broken up. Thus, I no longer have anything to be angry about but I’m still angry, especially when I see trash like Li Mingyu…”
How could Mo Huiling enjoy being together with trash like that?
The thought made him feel very miserable. Mo Huiling used to like him, but now she was together with a piece of trash. It simply made him feel as if his own character was called into question as if he was being lumped together with trash like that.
Lin Che said, “It’s totally natural for you to be angry. It’s such a normal thing. You’re not a saint, nor are you made of steel. You’re human too. Of course, you can get angry.”
She thought to herself, He and Mo Huiling did not even break up because the two of them had had a huge fight. It was because of circumstances that they could not help. It was completely normal for him to be angry and sad.
Gu Jingze looked at the time. He did not want to continue to stay here and watch Mo Huiling self-destruct. Thus, he said to Lin Che, “Let’s go. I guess we’ve shown my mother enough respect by coming. Since we already came, let’s just leave.”
“Oh, okay.”
The organizers of the banquet did not dare raise any objection to Lin Che and Gu Jingze wanting to leave early. After escorting Lin Che and Gu Jingze out together, they respectfully watched the two of them leave before returning.
At the Gu residence.
That night, Gu Jingze left right after sending Lin Che home.
Lin Che returned to their room alone. She did not know what Gu Jingze had gone off to do; all he had said was that he had to meet someone.
It made Lin Che think, Who was he meeting? Was it Mo Huiling?
It was most likely her.
Was he regretting it now? Was he going to meet her and ask to reconcile?
Lin Che knew that she indeed had no right to interfere with this but inside, she was still intolerably angry. This bitter feeling instinctively made her think to herself, Was she jealous?
Could it be that she really had feelings for him?
However, she clearly knew that he was together with her only out of responsibility and obligation. His guilt towards her had made him give up the woman he loved and his sense of responsibility caused him to treat her very well.
How could she still be so foolish as to have feelings for him?
Could she be feeling this way merely out of habit?
Chen Yucheng was still in the laboratory when Gu Jingze entered in large strides.
“Hey, at this time, why isn’t President Gu cuddling affectionately with his wife? Why did you come to my cold and lonely laboratory?”
Gu Jingze leaned against one of the laboratory tables. “It’s unbelievable. Huiling’s new boyfriend is Li Mingyu.”
“Ah… that guy. You’ve mentioned him before. The guy who used underhanded methods against you, who wanted to drug you, and send you a woman?”
“That’s right.”
“So this is the type of guy she likes?”
“Doc-tor-Chen!” At the right moment, Gu Jingze reminded Chen Yucheng that he was a doctor.
“Oh, alright. So, you’re very upset right now?”
“Yes, I’m really angry.” Gu Jingze continued, “I feel very apologetic towards Lin Che as well. I promised Lin Che that I wouldn’t have anything to do with her anymore, but still, I… can’t control myself.”
“President Gu, right now you have to be sure about why you feel angry towards her. Is it purely because you’re not satisfied with the man she found? Or is it that you wouldn’t feel satisfied no matter who she finds?”
“I’m not satisfied with the man she found.”
“Then, what are you going to do?”
“I want them to break up.”
“Then just go and make them break up. There’s no point in looking for me either.”
“Am I like this because I still have feelings for her?” Gu Jingze looked at Chen Yucheng.
Chen Yucheng said, “President Gu, it’s not wrong either for you to have feelings for her. After all, you’ve been with her for a very long time. It’s normal to have these feelings. Habits aren’t formed in a day and you can’t forget a person in a day either. Even though you no longer have such strong feelings for her, it’s still normal to have some feelings left over.”
Gu Jingze said, “Forget it. Wait until I figure it out…”
Gu Jingze thought, In these urgent circumstances, he just hoped that Mo Huiling could stop wasting her time with that piece of trash. That piece of trash. He had to make her leave that man. Otherwise, he simply felt that she was not just insulting herself but also the feelings they had shared in the past.
When Mo Huiling received a call from Gu Jingze out of the blue, it made her feel incredibly happy.
She left Li Mingyu behind and went off to meet Gu Jingze immediately.
Mo Huiling especially took some time to dress herself up. She had arranged to meet Gu Jingze at the 24-hour snack shop that the two of them used to frequent together. Sure enough, after stepping into the shop, she saw that Gu Jingze was here. She smiled, immediately threw herself onto Gu Jingze’s back, and wrapped her arms around him.
Gu Jingze merely felt a sudden surge of disgust. He quickly pushed Mo Huiling away. While compressing down the feeling of disgust, he asked Mo Huiling, “Huiling, what are you doing?”
Mo Huiling raised her head to look at Gu Jingze. “Why did you come look for me in the middle of the night?”
Wasn’t it just because he was not happy that she had found a boyfriend? She thought to herself that he must have come here to make her break up with him.
Gu Jingze looked at Mo Huiling. “Do you really want to date Li Mingyu?”
Mo Huiling snickered and turned her head with a face full of haughtiness. Although she was bursting with joy inside, her expression remained gloomy. “Why? Why do you care who I date?”
“It’s true that I can’t force you to date someone else but I still felt that I should come and persuade you. Otherwise, if I waited for you to ruin yourself and then came to persuade you, it would all be too late. If that happened, then I would blame myself for the rest of my life. Huiling, if you pull yourself back from the edge of the cliff right now, it’s still not too late.”
