Chapter 1137 She Was Literally A Little Punk
Gu Jingze was so evil!
Qin Qing froze. Thereafter, his shoulders drooped even lower.
Yes. Whether or not he died, he was so lowly in Gu Jingze’s eyes. He could not compare to Gu Jingze, no matter how hard he tried.
It was not just because of his family background. In terms of capability, he was simply not as naturally talented as Gu Jingze was.
Gu Jingze looked at him. “Since you want to die, I would just be dirtying my hands by killing you. Why don’t you tell me who exactly did this?”
Gu Jingze’s guess was right. He could immediately tell that Qin Qing definitely knew who had done this.
Qin Qing lowered his head and said, “My guess is that Xue Mengqi is the culprit.”
Lin Che was shocked.
Wasn’t she Qin Qing’s girlfriend? How could she harm her own boyfriend like this?
Gu Jingze scoffed. So Xue Mengqi had not appeared recently because she was plotting these events.
He said, “Enough. Now, you must cooperate with us. Later, just run out with your clothes disheveled.”
“Ah… I…”
“Just do as I say. You owe Lin Che this,” Gu Jingze said.
Qin Qing glanced at Lin Che. There was nothing else he could do but nod silently.
Sometime later, the people standing guard outside returned to see Qin Qing come out with his clothes in a mess. Then, Gu Jingze also walked out after him.
Lin Che came out last and left in a rush.
Elsewhere.
“Miss Xue. We’ve already succeeded.”
Xue Mengqi took the photographs and looked over them.
Qin Qing’s clothes in a mess.
Lin Che running off in a hurry.
Gu Jingze leaving with a dark expression on his face.
Xue Mengqi huffed and said, “This time, Qin Qing probably won’t be able to live even if he wanted to. Given Gu Jingze’s temper, he’s likely to rip him apart.”
“Young Master Qin… no, Qin Qing left immediately. But there hasn’t been any movement yet on Gu Jingze’s end.”
“He’s probably consumed by anger and hasn’t started taking action yet.” She continued, “Hmph. Lin Che was abandoned just like that too. Gu Jingze left by himself later. It looks like the two of them are angry. But any man would be very angry upon seeing his own woman being touched by someone else. Even if he knows that Lin Che didn’t do it on purpose and that she did not initiate it, she has, after all, been touched by someone else. If he touches her again, he will probably feel different.”
No matter how much he wanted to dote on her, he would, nevertheless, feel some disgust now.
Xue Mengqi said, “Keep all of these. When the opportunity arises and we can confirm that Gu Jingze is, in fact, slightly disgusted by Lin Che, we’ll take them out again. When that happens, Lin Che should see who will protect her despite this. Hmph.”
—
Lin Che returned home, feeling a sense of lingering fear.
Gu Jingze’s expression remained slightly cold when he came in.
Lin Che looked at him guiltily. She knew that his anger had probably not subsided yet since she had protected Qin Qing today.
She quickly said, “Gu Jingze, I genuinely didn’t want to see him die in front of me. That would have been terrible. It would have been too bloody and violent. It would have been poor prenatal education…”
Gu Jingze’s expression remained foul. He walked out with his things in hand and ignored Lin Che.
Lin Che followed closely behind him.
She looked ready to please him, just like a little lackey.
She truly felt that Qin Qing was too much of a hindrance.
He himself was not good enough and had even caused Gu Jingze to face her with a sour expression now.
Gu Jingze was so terrifying when he was in a bad mood. She was on tenterhooks as she looked at him now. She was so afraid that he would glare at her again and again. His gaze was so sharp that it made her heart thump. It was so scary.
“Gu Jingze…”
“Hey, Gu Jingze. Wait for me.”
The maids looked on, not knowing what their Madam had done again such that she had to make it up to him.
It was strange to use the word ‘love.’ In reality, Gu Jingze was a very hard-hearted person. He had always been very harsh on people. For instance, if someone was incomparably unyielding in front of him, he would release that person instead. But if someone kept begging for mercy in front of him, he would look down on that person even more. He would absolutely not go soft on that person at all.
He hated most to see people shamelessly plead for leniency.
But this was completely inapplicable to Madam.
On the contrary, he seemed to enjoy it quite a lot when Madam begged him like this.
Gu Jingze went out of the house.
Lin Che quickly followed after him.
She moved around on his left, then moved around on his right. But Gu Jingze seemed to not see her at all.
Lin Che was genuinely anxious as she ran after Gu Jingze. “Gu Jingze, where are you going? Don’t run. Listen to me…”
However, Gu Jingze did not turn back at all.
He got into the car and she quickly tried to squeeze in before he closed the door.
Gu Jingze frowned. Before she could get in, he pulled the car door and she was therefore stuck outside.
Lin Che said, “Don’t… don’t think about going out alone. I want to go with you. I’m afraid of being home alone.”
In the eyes of the driver, her shameless behavior was truly…
The driver shook his head, feeling that she was way too brazen.
This lady from their family was definitely a fake Madam. Otherwise, why were the girls from other families so reserved, whereas the one in their family only knew to behave so shamelessly?
Gu Jingze still wanted to shut the door, when Lin Che shouted sharply, “Oh no, my belly…”
Gu Jingze’s brow loosened immediately and he involuntarily released his hand as well.
Lin Che dove inside directly, chuckling while holding her stomach.
Gu Jingze knew that she was lying again. He scoffed briefly before glaring at her.
Lin Che said sheepishly, “My stomach was actually hurting. Really. I’m not lying. But it hurt only for a moment before it got better.”
Gu Jingze snorted before turning his head to look outside.
Lin Che said to the driver, “Enough, enough. Start driving. Go wherever you want to.”
The driver started the engine.
The car kept traveling but Gu Jingze simply refused to speak.
Lin Che looked at him while pouting. She thought to herself indignantly, This man was unbelievably petty.
But so be it if he did not want to speak. She was going to follow him all the way anyway. She did not believe that he would remain silent.
Just then, the car suddenly stopped somewhere.
Lin Che was still in a state of surprise as she looked at the pitch-black darkness outside.
“Hey, where are we? Gu Jingze, why is it so dark outside?”
Gu Jingze continued to remain silent. He merely got off the car alone first.
Lin Che hastily followed after him as well.
“Hey, hey, hey. Wait for me.”
The situation outside the car was even more strange. It seemed that she could not even see her fingers clearly when she stretched her hand out. It felt as if it was not the darkness of night that was covering her, but a piece of black cloth.
She stopped in her tracks. While she was still confused, the darkness in front of her was tugged downwards.
It turned out that what had been blocking her was not the darkness of night that seemed like black cloth.
It was an actual piece of black cloth.
Lin Che was in the throes of surprise. She widened her eyes and was welcomed by the sight of a fantastical world of fireflies…
Inside, countless twinkling fireflies were dancing in the air.
It made the dark forest turn into a world that existed only in fairytales.
She was stunned by the sight.
She stood there with her jaw slightly agape. She seemed unable to close her mouth for a long time until she saw the fireflies dancing about her like tiny lanterns one after another.
What, what.
What exactly was going on…
At this moment, a calm and magnetic voice resounded at her ear. “Do you like my present?”
