When the three of them were about to go back, Lin Che said straightforwardly, “Someone from the Gu residence is coming to pick me up. Doctor Chen, it’s not convenient for me to take her home either. Why don’t you take her home?”
“Eh, no way…” Shen Youran could tell immediately that Lin Che even wanted to abandon her. She quickly tried to grab Lin Che.
Lin Che smiled at Shen Youran as she said softly, “You’re also at that age already. Doctor Chen is of pretty good character. Shouldn’t you seize this opportunity? Later, when you’re both alone, just throw yourself on him. Hehe, I’ll be leaving first.”
“Hey, hey, you…” Lin Che ran away really quickly at times like this. Shen Youran did not manage to grab her. She turned her head to look at Chen Yucheng standing by the roadside. Initially, she did not feel anything but when Lin Che offered her up like this, she began to feel a little embarra.s.sed instead.
Until Chen Yucheng called out, “Are you still not coming? Madam Gu has already left. There’s no point in you continuing to chase after her. Relax. I won’t make you buy me a coffee today and I won’t send you on an errand either. Just sit obediently and don’t make a sound.”
Did he hate it when she talked too much?
Her earlier embarra.s.sment was completely swept away because of his words. She glared at him before getting into the car.
When they arrived at the Shen residence, it was not convenient for Chen Yucheng’s car to reverse. It was stuck there and could not move.
Shen Youran said, “If I’d known earlier I would’ve told you not to drive in.”
Chen Yucheng said, “It’s really ridiculous for you to live here. How old is this neighborhood?”
“Can’t my family be poor?”
While saying this, Shen Youran got out of the car and was immediately welcomed by the sight of her younger sister running over.
“Older Sister, Older Sister, who is this? This car is really pretty.”
Seeing the situation, Chen Yucheng frowned in the car.
Through the car window, Shen Youlan happened to see Chen Yucheng. Immediately, she was shocked again and quickly yelled, “Older Sister, when did you get a boyfriend? How could you not tell us?”
Shen Youran quickly covered her sister’s mouth. “Can you shut up? What boyfriend. This is my superior.”
“Huh? Is he an executive of Gu Industries? But why did your superior take you home?”
“He only took me home because we had some doc.u.ments to hand over. Why are you being so nosy? Go back, go back with me.”
Just like this, Shen Youran only managed to drag her sister inside the home with a lot of difficulties.
After they went in, Shen Youlan was still yelling shrilly, “Older Sister, what are you doing? Since he’s not your boyfriend, then you should introduce him to me.”
“That’s enough.” Shen Youran said, “Look at yourself. Do you think he’ll take a fancy to you?”
“What’s wrong with me? Is there anything unpleasant about me? Don’t I look better than you? You’re jealous that I’m pretty and don’t want me to find a good man, hmph.” As she said this, she went inside angrily. Shen Youran could only glare at her speechlessly. This little gyaru made herself look like an unfas.h.i.+onable punk every day and still thought that she was not bad.
When Lin Che returned home, she saw that the television was currently showing news about Christmas, which was in a few days.
So it was already Christmas.
However, when she returned home, Gu Jingze had indeed still not returned.
When she thought of how they were probably still in the midst of an intense matter of life and death, Lin Che did not even have the right to worry. However, she saw that Gu Jingyu had suddenly sent a message to her phone that said, “There’s a Christmas event. Let’s attend it together when the time comes.”
After Lin Che exchanged a few messages with him, she saw that it was already past the wee hours of the morning.
This Gu Jingyu was truly a night owl.
At the hospital.
Gu Jingze stayed here and looked on as the staff went in from time to time to conduct emergency treatment. No one slept at all for the whole night.
However, in the next half of the night, every time someone went in to carry out emergency treatment, Mo Huiling’s mother Chen Hanyin would give them h.e.l.l.
On the other hand, Gu Jingze merely stayed completely silent the whole time.
The next morning.
The doctor said that Mo Huiling was finally out of danger.
Mo Huiling’s parents hurried in first to take a look. Gu Jingze gave them some time before pus.h.i.+ng the door open and walking in.
Mo Huiling had already woken up. Her complexion was deathly pale and she looked extremely weak.
When she saw Gu Jingze, she immediately began to cry again. Aggrieved, she bit her lips and said to him, “Go, go. Why did you come? I don’t want to see you.”
Gu Jingze walked to her bedside with a solemn expression on his face. “Huiling, look at yourself. What exactly have you done?”
Mo Huiling bit her bottom lip. “You hit me. You actually hit me. Because of that woman, you hit me!”
“Yes. I’m in the wrong for hitting you. I’ll apologize to you for that.” Gu Jingze’s brow was agitated. “But you attempted suicide just because I hit you. You ate so many pills and were prepared to die. Huiling, you… you’re really too insensible.”
Mo Huiling looked at Gu Jingze in shock. She did not expect that he would still admonish her when she was already in this state.
Gu Jingze looked at Mo Huiling. “You only thought of dying because of me. Did you ever think about your parents, your family, your close friends? What would have happened to them? While you were lying there in a critical condition, do you know how other people worried about you outside?”
“I…”
“Just because of a small incident like getting slapped, you simply and recklessly injured your own body. Don’t you think you were being a little too rash? How could you hurt yourself instead just because of these things?”
Mo Huiling cried as she looked at him. “Who made me do this? I did it because of you!”
“That’s precisely why I’m even angrier. I’m only a temporary person in your life. Your parents are the ones who will be in your life forever. You can’t live like this without a sense of self.”
Gu Jingze was really very angry.
She was truly wilful to an unacceptable degree. Perhaps even she herself had not expected the consequences to be so serious, but she simply did it regardless.
He was blaming himself for having hit her and regretted it but at the same time, he was also very angry that she had actually treated her life with such levity just because of this.
She was really too reckless.
He really did not want to see something like this happen again. At the same time, he felt that he was really becoming more and more disappointed with Mo Huiling for some reason.
In the past, he never thought that she was such a fragile and weak woman who did not know anything at all. In comparison, she was the polar opposite of Lin Che.
“Why do you want to commit suicide now? So that I’ll spend the rest of my life feeling guilty and remorseful?” Gu Jingze asked.
Mo Huiling could only cry as she said, “No. I was just very sad. How could I bear for you to be upset and self-reproving… I only did this because I really didn’t want to live anymore…”
Gu Jingze glanced at her and drew in a deep breath. “Alright. Rest up. I hope this won’t happen next time. Huiling, you’re no longer a little child. Think about the consequences before you act.”
Mo Huiling cried as she nodded. In her heart, she thought that Gu Jingze only admonished her just because he was overcome by fear.
Gu Jingze had already said what had to be said. He also knew that she was, in fact, very weak right now. He could only shake his head and say, “I still have something on.”
“Won’t you stay here and keep me company?” Mo Huiling said.
Gu Jingze said, “Huiling, right now, you should spend more time with your family. They were always the ones who were the most worried during the night, not me. I’ll come to see you again another day.”
Mo Huiling looked at her own parents and could only nod her head at him.
It was only when Mo Kaihui saw Gu Jingze leave that he pointed at Mo Huiling and said, “Look at you, look at you. You live and die for this man but you even got reprimanded by him.”
Mo Huiling snorted. “So what? Didn’t he stay by my side for the whole night? His personality is just like this. He goes by the book. He will definitely reprimand me first in the hope that I will know what’s right, but he definitely still loves me dearly in his heart.”
“That’s enough. How do you know? All men are callous. Now that he has that new flame Lin Che, he has lost all feelings for you.”
“You… of course that’s not the case. Even if I die, I won’t let that smelly s.l.u.t have Gu Jingze either. Hmph. Why doesn’t she go and die? It would be good if she just died!”
However, when Gu Jingze returned home, he saw that Lin Che had already left.
He asked the maid and she replied, “Madam left early this morning with her luggage. She said that she was going away to attend an event.”
