Chapter 672: I Must Teach Him A Lesson
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In no time, Mo Huiling was sent to the hospital.
Her friends followed her to the hospital. Mo Huiling held her stomach while she huffed and puffed in anger.
Standing next to her on both sides, they said, “Huiling, we couldn’t do anything either. We wanted to help you back then, but I’m sure you know how terrifying Lu Beichen is. He has always been very extreme. We definitely can’t win against him, so we…”
“Forget it. It’s alright.” Although Mo Huiling felt that they were not true friends, she decided to let it go after thinking about it. If she were standing in their shoes, she would not have dared to speak recklessly either.
Nevertheless, Mo Huiling still clutched her bed furiously. When she saw her father rus.h.i.+ng towards her, she called out to him, “Father, Lin Che was too much. Look, she chased me out just like that. My poor belly. If my child is hurt, even a little, I won’t let her off. I won’t let them off.”
Mo Huiling’s father quickly called for someone to examine her.
In the end, the diagnosis was indeed true that her condition had turned unstable because of her turbulent emotions. They gave her an injection of ****** and told her to rest.
Because she had gotten pregnant through in vitro fertilization, it was very easy for her to have a miscarriage during this term.
It was best for Mo Huiling to remain in bed and rest for the time being.
Hearing this, Mo Huiling blamed this on Lin Che.
Her father said, “Alright, don’t be so anxious. I’ll give Gu Jingze a call. How can he let Lin Che do this? It’s too much for her to treat a pregnant woman like this. How exactly did he take a liking to her?”
—
Gu Jingyan walked out with Lin Che. While walking, she said, “Sister-In-Law, I realized that you’re really quite good at using sarcasm against people.”
“Huh?”
“What you said about them being mistresses. Dear me. It was such a cla.s.sic.”
“…”
Gu Jingyan tugged at Lin Che. “Sister-In-Law, you’ve really learned how to be vicious with your words after being together with Second Brother. You don’t even need vulgarities to criticize others. You’re really something.”
“…”
Lu Beichen said, “That’s enough. I went to check and it seems that Gu Jingze is at our house. Let’s not go home first.”
Gu Jingyan asked, “Why? Second Brother must have gone there to look for Sister-In-Law.”
“What do you know? It wouldn’t be good for us to kick up a fuss at home since my father is at home. It’s better to stay outside. We can kick up as much of a fuss as we want and no one will care. Hehe. We’ll stay outside and wait for Gu Jingze to come here. When the time comes, I’ll see how Gu Jingze grovels and begs for forgiveness.”
“…” No way. He had covered all bases just to make Gu Jingze suffer.
Having said this, Lu Beichen actually brought Lin Che and Gu Jingyan to a bar.
They ordered some snacks and drinks at the bar. Gu Jingyan wanted to drink alcohol here too, but Lu Beichen stopped her. He immediately s.n.a.t.c.hed the menu from her and said, “Your temperament when you’re drunk is so bad and you still want to drink? Just get some orange juice.”
“What? I don’t want that. I want sparkling water.”
Gu Jingyan s.n.a.t.c.hed the menu back and continued ordering. She also ordered sparkling water for Lin Che.
From one of the booths, someone saw Lin Che and mumbled, “Is that Lin Che?”
“I think it is.”
However, they noticed Lu Beichen’s gaze just when they were about to come over. Immediately, they were terrified by Lu Beichen and s.h.i.+fted their gazes.
Lu Beichen pulled down the front of his s.h.i.+rt with both hands so that it straightened out. Then, he looked up only to see that Gu Jingze was actually here.
“Hey. You came so quickly.”
Lin Che still had water in her mouth. She nearly spit the water out when she heard Lu Beichen’s words.
She turned around to see Gu Jingze enter gracefully, his expression as cold as frost. He saw the three of them and walked towards them swiftly.
Lin Che instinctively wanted to stand up. Since he had come to look for her, she unknowingly felt slightly guilty as she looked into his calm eyes. She felt as if she had somehow been exposed.
However, after thinking about it carefully, she did not think that she had done anything wrong. She ran away from home because Gu Jingze had been in the wrong. She had nothing to be afraid of.
It must have been Gu Jingze’s overwhelming presence that inevitably invoked guilt in anyone he stared at.
Gu Jingze approached them and immediately glanced at Lu Beichen and then at Lin Che. Then, he abruptly grabbed Lin Che’s hand.
“Come home with me,” he said.
Lin Che looked up and was astonished to find that he had seized her hand.
However, in the next moment, Lu Beichen pulled Gu Jingze’s hand away. “Hey, Gu Jingze. What are you doing? You’re taking someone away from me the moment you arrive. Do you respect me at all?”
Gu Jingze looked at Lu Beichen. “What are you doing? I’m going to take my wife home. Do I even need to get your approval and show you respect?”
“Of course you do. Right now, Lin Che is an important guest at my house. Since she’s staying at my house, I must take responsibility for her safety.” Lu Beichen crossed his arms over his chest. His righteous manner was extremely annoying.
Gu Jingze looked like he could not be bothered with him. He looked at Lin Che and asked, “Are you going to come back with me?”
Lu Beichen immediately came between them. “Why? Are you threatening Lin Che?”
For a moment, Gu Jingze truly wanted to punch Lu Beichen’s irritating face. “Move aside. Lu Beichen, what are you doing? Do you want to fight me?”
Lu Beichen raised his eyebrows. “If you insist on starting a fight, I can only fight to the end. After you’ve treated Lin Che this way, how can I let you casually take her away?”
“I…” Gu Jingze’s brow was furrowed deeply. He defended himself lowly. “What did I do to Lin Che?”
Lu Beichen said, “What do you think? Of course, you bullied her. You two-timed her and even lied for no reason. You even tried to defend yourself when you got caught red-handed.”
Gu Jingze’s breath got stuck in his throat. He truly felt that Lu Beichen was becoming more and more unlikable.
He looked at Lin Che behind him. She was pursing her lips while looking at the ground. She also looked angry.
Gu Jingze could only say, “Lin Che, I accompanied Mo Huiling to the hospital only because she said that she was going to abort the child.”
Lin Che’s eyes flashed and she looked up. “Mo Huiling also said earlier today that you would definitely say that you accompanied her to get an abortion. She was right. Does Miss Mo understand you that well?”
“…” Gu Jingze asked, “Did she say that? You saw her today?”
“Yes. At that restaurant the two of you often went to in the past.”
Gu Jingze held his forehead.
He still wanted to speak but was interrupted by Lu Beichen again.
“That’s enough. In any case, it’s too late for you to explain it now. It would have been honest of you to explain it when it happened. But if you’re only doing it now? You’re just making excuses. Right, Lin Che?” Lu Beichen nudged Lin Che by the shoulder.
Lin Che nodded. “That’s right, that’s right.”
For a moment, Gu Jingze was in disbelief. “You guys…”
Lu Beichen said, “Thus, now that you’re already in the wrong, Lin Che can’t go home with you.”
Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che. “Are you really on his side?”
Seeing that Gu Jingze was alone in this, Lin Che’s heart softened a little. But…
She did think that he needed to be taught a lesson, so she hardened her stance again.
