Chapter 395: He Came To The Doorstep To Take Her Away

On the contrary, everything here was great. It was a cozy little nest.
Shen Youran had rented this place after moving out from her family home. In actual fact, she had moved here barely a few days ago because of an argument with Shen Youlan and the rest of her family too.
Shen Youran said, “Ahh. This place isn’t even as big as a bathroom in the Gu residence, right?”
Lin Che said, “Of course not. It’s not bad at all. By the way, are you really going to live here in the future because of an argument with your family?”
“Yes. I’m definitely not going back again. I’m sure of it. I told them that Shen Youlan had made such a huge mistake but they still kept siding with her. I don’t know what trouble she’ll get into in the future.”
Not only did they fail to severely reprimand Shen Youlan when she returned home, they unexpectedly even comforted her. They merely told her to behave herself in the future and avoid making the same mistake.
When Shen Youran had criticized her parents, they had criticized her instead and said, “Since your boss is so rich, what’s wrong asking him for a mere $150,000?”
Shen Youran had told them that she had to pay back the debt and not use someone else’s money.
But they had unexpectedly responded, “He’s so rich but he still needs your money. Why is he so evil?”
Shen Youran had thought gloomily to herself, It was only right for a person to pay back a debt she owed. Why did someone have to help her out financially just because he was rich?
Was there any basis for that?
Shen Youran had recalled an online post titled ‘you’re right if you’re weak’. It perfectly described her parents.
However, she had been unable to get through to them no matter what she said, so she decided to just move out on her own.
Lin Che said, “It’s actually good that you moved out. After all, you’re already of age and it’s easier for you to date like this, hehe. This place is not bad. You’ve made it very cozy. It’s very suitable… for dates.”
Lin Che winked at her.
Shen Youran bumped Lin Che hard with her hip. “Get lost. Quickly pack up and just dump your luggage inside. Maybe you’ll go back in no time.”
When she brought the matter up, Lin Che’s mood soured again.
Her face was tight as she opened her luggage. Because she had left in a fit of anger, everything inside was pretty much in a mess. All the things she brought had been randomly packed and they were essentially useless.
Thus, in the end, she had no choice but to use Shen Youran’s belongings.
She was very good friends with Shen Youran. In the past, they had shared all their clothes except their underwear, so she could similarly use whatever she wanted now.
As they lay on the bed, Lin Che was still troubled by thoughts of Gu Jingze.
All of the men in the Gu family were loathsome.
Gu Jingze was hateful. That Mr. President was also equally hateful.
They toyed with women’s feelings and marriage. Hmph. Neither of them were good people.
But Gu Jingyu seemed to be the exception.
Still, this was limited to their friendship. He was only good to her because they were friends. Who knew how Gu Jingyu would behave if he got married one day.
While these nonsensical thoughts were swirling around in his head, Shen Youran suddenly wanted to get up to answer a call.
She glanced quickly at Lin Che and went out to answer it.
“Why are you calling me so late?”
“I’m calling to tell you that I’ve sent the documents for tomorrow to your email inbox. So what if it’s late? Why are you speaking so softly? What, are you hiding some unspeakable secret in your house?”
“That’s right. A VIP came to my house today and is currently sleeping on my bed.”
“What?”
“Hehe. The Gu family’s Young Madam. Isn’t she a VIP?”
“The Gu family… Lin Che?”
“That’s right.”
“She’s at your place, which means… Gu Jingze…”
“They had an argument. Hmph. Gu Jingze was the one who wronged her first. He was two-timing her and even lied to her. Indeed, all men are bad. Lying is in their nature!”
“…” Chen Yucheng ended the call immediately.
—
At the Gu residence. Gu Jingze had sent someone to follow Lin Che and knew that she had gone to Shen Youran’s place. He could only relax after instructing them to continue watching over Lin Che.
But at the same time, he could not fall asleep because he was angry.
Just then, Chen Yucheng called.
“President Gu, did you have an argument with Lin Che?”
“…” Gu Jingze pursed his lips and could not be bothered to speak.
Chen Yucheng continued, “If you need my help, tell me anytime. I’m your psychiatrist after all.”
Gu Jingze certainly did not know what to do now.
He was not too used to apologizing to others, neither did he know exactly how women thought.
What’s more is that he was in a fit of anger right now and did not want to apologize at all.
The next day.
Chen Yucheng’s office was cordoned off from early in the morning.
When Shen Youran arrived, someone looked at her and said, “Assistant Shen, you can’t go in for the time being.”
Shen Youran looked at the people standing around the area. All of them were undoubtedly underlings of the Gu family. She instinctively asked, “What? Is Gu Jingze here?”
“That’s right. President Gu is here.”
Everyone was confused. This Shen Youran actually dared to call Gu Jingze by name. She was really impossibly bold.
However, they were all aware that Shen Youran had recently found favor in Chen Yucheng’s eyes.
It was really shocking for Chen Yucheng to have actually directly made her his assistant. Naturally, some people were jealous of her. Chen Yucheng had unexpectedly given her an opportunity even though she was a newcomer. The two of them even spent day and night together and spent more time together than with anyone else. No one knew the exact nature of their relationship.
Shen Youran tactfully did not go in. She stood there and watched as everyone stared at her. Feeling a little strange, she weaseled her way into the conference room inside.
—
Inside the room, Gu Jingze was sitting at the side and looking at Chen Yucheng.
Chen Yucheng said, “So in fact, this is all because of Miss Lu. She somehow found out that you met Miss Lu outside and got angry as a result?”
Gu Jingze drew in a deep breath. “That’s right.”
Chen Yucheng said, “To be honest, at a time like this, it doesn’t matter what exactly the reason is. Your attitude is the most important thing.”
“But there’s a reason why I met Lu Chuxia. Furthermore, it was wrong in principle for her to run away because she was angry.”
“President Gu, what’s your objective in coming here? You must first be clear about your aim. Did you come here to determine who’s right and who’s wrong or because you wanted to persuade Madam to return?”
Fine…
Gu Jingze’s expression changed slightly.
To be honest, of course his aim was to assuage Lin Che’s anger.
But he absolutely did not want to apologize!
Seeing as Gu Jingze had gone silent, Chen Yucheng then said, “Now that we’re clear that you want Madam Gu to come back, there’s one thing you must know. When a woman is angry, reasoning with her is completely useless. She doesn’t want to hear your logical reasoning.”
“…”
“She wants to hear you cajole her.”
“…”
“Just coax her to come back. President Gu, at a time like this, you must forget about your pride and coax her. Actually, the reason for her anger isn’t important at all. What’s important to her is your attitude. Furthermore, why would a woman get angry? You say that it’s complicated, but it’s actually very simple. The first possibility is that you didn’t treat her well enough. I think you’ve already been very good to Madam. The second possibility is that you didn’t give her enough money. I don’t think that’s the case. The third possibility is that you’re keeping another woman. Simply put, she’s just jealous.”
“…”
Chen Yucheng patted his shoulder. “There’s a lot that still remains to be done, President Gu.”
Gu Jingze looked at the hand on his shoulder. “Mind your hand.”
“…”
Chen Yucheng quickly removed his hand.
When Gu Jingze left, his face was still overcast.
No one dared to speak to him and could only lower their heads to send him off in silence.
