Chapter 670: They Went To The Restaurant That Gu Jingze Had Reserved In The Past

The retail assistant said good-naturedly, “Miss, you can just try it on. The material isn’t that translucent when you wear it. Our cotton is also very comfortable. Even if you wear it for yourself… it’s also very comfortable.”
Lin Che protested. No, no, she did not want it.
However, her protests went ignored. Gu Jingyan had already paid for it directly.
Lin Che continued to complain even after they left.
“Since you bought it, you’ll be the one to wear it. Whatever happens, I won’t wear it!”
“No way, no way. This is Sister-In-Law’s size. My cup size is not as big as Sister-In-Law’s. I definitely won’t be able to pull this off.”
“Nonsense. Stop talking. I definitely won’t wear it no matter what!”
“Don’t be like this, Sister-In-Law. It’s a display of my sincerity!”
Once they arrived outside, they stopped discussing the matter as Lu Beichen was around.
Lu Beichen had waited for a long time for the two of them to come out. He clutched his stomach and complained that he was hungry, so the three of them went to a nearby restaurant to eat.
“Second Brother brought you to this restaurant before, right?”
Lin Che looked around. Indeed, he had brought her here before. It was a Chinese restaurant and he had booked a private room for them. She had also met Mo Huiling here before and had even been insulted by her.
Therefore, she did not come here often after that incident.
Because Mo Huiling had once misunderstood that the room had been reserved for her, Gu Jingze thought that Lin Che would feel uncomfortable.
In actual fact, Lin Che thought nothing of it.
But it was the first thing that came to her mind when she came in.
Gu Jingyan said, “I often come to this room. Hehe. Second Brother forgot about it after reserving it. I’m still putting the tabs on his account now. I’ve actually spent a lot of his money eating here.”
Hurting each other like this… were they really biological siblings?
But for a family like theirs, money was no longer the most important thing. Thus, they did not think much of spending each other’s money.
In any case, they had a lot of money, so such a thing was just a drop in the bucket.
The three of them went to the room that Gu Jingze had booked again. Gu Jingyan ordered enough dishes to cover the entire table. Lu Beichen said, “I really… the two of you can really walk a lot. Don’t your calves hurt?”
Gu Jingyan replied, “You have such bad stamina. Your calves hurt just because of this? Pft, pft, you’re really fantastic.”
Lin Che smiled while looking at the two of them. She felt that the fact that the two of them were childhood friends and were equal in social status… was actually a very blissful thing as well.
But they themselves probably did not think so.
Lin Che left the room to the couple who were about to start arguing so that she could get some air.
However, the moment she left, she bumped into Mo Huiling again.
She was truly… especially attached to this place.
Mo Huiling saw Lin Che come out from the private room and asked in surprise, “Are you and Jingze here to eat?”
Lin Che immediately saw her large belly.
It was looking more and more obvious.
She herself strut around carelessly without any thought of hiding her stomach.
It even seemed as if she would like to have her stomach protrude more.
Lin Che looked at her. “No, I’m not with him.”
Mo Huiling paused before remembering. “Ah, right. This is the private room under Jingze’s name. Just put it on her tab.”
Just then, a few women chattering noisily came up behind Mo Huiling. All of them were Mo Huiling’s good friends. Upon seeing Lin Che, they also froze. At first, they were slightly worried to have actually bumped into Gu Jingze’s wife when they were here to eat with Mo Huiling.
However, they suddenly remembered that Mo Huiling was now pregnant with his child. So what if she was his wife?
Their initial guilt upon seeing Lin Che immediately turned into arrogance. They looked at Lin Che disdainfully. Lin Che said to Mo Huiling, “Aiyo. What a small world.”
Mo Huiling smiled and looked at Lin Che. “I know that you’re doing what I did back then. You’re taking advantage of the fact that Gu Jingze booked a room here and casually brought your poor friends for a meal here, right? But you must not spend too much money or Gu Jingze will be unhappy. Even though you have no money and you’re using Gu Jingze’s money for everything, you should save when you can, right?”
After bumping into Gu Jingze here that one time, Mo Huiling could not invite her friends here from then on.
In actual fact, she had not been here for a long time. One reason for this was that this place was very expensive. But the main reason was that the last time she came here, the boss had told her right in front of her friends that Gu Jingze had instructed him not to put her tab on Gu Jingze’s account. It had immediately caused her extreme embarrassment. Therefore, she did not want to come again after that.
However, she still came here this time under pressure from her friends.
Lin Che thought to herself, She was definitely not like Mo Huiling. She had never brought her friends here. This time, it was also Gu Jingyan who had brought her here.
She said, “Thank you for the reminder. But I’m his wife. I think I’m different from you.”
So, she was saying that she had the right to spend Gu Jingze’s money?
It really angered Mo Huiling, especially when Lin Che had said this in front of her friends.
“Lin Che, what do you mean that you’re different from me? You’re definitely the same. Otherwise, why would you stick through thick and thin with Gu Jingze even when I’m pregnant? Why do I find it hard to believe? The truth must be that you don’t care about it because you think that it’s already good enough that you could actually claim a connection with Gu Jingze.”
Lin Che smiled and looked at her. “Think however you want.”
Mo Huiling continued, “Now that I sent you a photo of Gu Jingze accompanying me to the hospital, you didn’t show any reaction either. But your way of thinking is actually not wrong. Without Gu Jingze, what are you? The fact that you can accept my child also goes to show that we can get along well too. It’s fine as long as we pretend that the other doesn’t exist, don’t you think so?”
It was perhaps common for many people to do this in upper society. But Lin Che definitely would not and she could not accept it either.
She said, “You’re wrong. The only reason I’m ignoring you is because I believe in Gu Jingze.”
“Ha. If that were true, why would you be having an argument with Gu Jingze right now?”
Lin Che froze. How did she know about Lin Che’s fight with Gu Jingze?
Mo Huiling said, “There’s no use in thinking. There’s no such thing as a secret in this circle. Many people know that you ran away from home today. I thought that Gu Jingze had already cajoled you so quickly. But looking at the situation now, he probably hasn’t. I know that you’re very angry, but it’s a fact that Gu Jingze accompanied me to the hospital. If the child wasn’t his, why would he accompany me to the hospital? How did he explain it to you? Did he lie to you and say that he accompanied me for an abortion? In that case, you shouldn’t believe a word of it. How could I possibly abort our child?”
Mo Huiling did not know what Gu Jingze had told Lin Che, so she intentionally worded things in this way.
Lin Che was speechless. At the moment, she could not retaliate.
She had been feeling this way for some time, so she was more or less on edge for the time being.
Even though she truly believed Gu Jingze, she was also very irritated that people were constantly speculating.
Seeing that Lin Che remained silent, Mo Huiling sneered and asked, “Right now, did you come here to take advantage of Gu Jingze since you ran away from home and have no money to eat? Seriously… in the end, you’re still using Gu Jingze. So, you really can’t live without Gu Jingze, right?”
