Bab 59: He Really Left Home
Editor: Atlas Studios
At night, Lin Che returned to her room and closed the door. She was not going to let Gu Jingze in.
She waited for a while but there was no sound.
Quietly, she opened the door and heard Gu Jingze who appeared to be on the phone.
"Huiling, what's wrong?"
Upon hearing Mo Huiling's name, Lin Che grew curious and continued eavesdropping.
Gu Jingze was holding his phone and listening to Mo Huiling whine.
"Jingze, I quarreled with my family. I have nowhere to go now. Can you let me stay at your place for a few days?"
Gu Jingze thought deeply, "Why did you quarrel with your family?"
"It was because of… Forget it. Anyway, I have no place to go now. My mother and father even confiscated my credit cards."
"Okay, I'll arrange a place for you and go over to find you."
"Okay. I'll be waiting."
Gu Jingze stood there as he made some arrangements. He flexed his wrists and called Qin Hao, "Prepare the villa at the bay. Huiling needs a place to stay. I'm going over to her now."
"Yes, Sir," Qin Hao saw Gu Jingze's serious expression and dared not say another word.
As he retreated, he caught a glimpse of Lin Che and could not help but sympathize with her. Gu Jingze's temper was really something that not everybody could handle.
Lin Che watched Gu Jingze walk away. She lingered at the door and silently cursed at him. That damned, half-hearted Gu Jingze. He dared to meet another woman when he already had a wife.
When she was done, her heart felt uncomfortable.
Actually, Mo Huiling was his real love. Was it not assumed that the one not receiving love, was going to be the third party?
She was the actual third party.
Gu Jingze really left home and did not return that night.
Lin Che vaguely heard Gu Jingze mention something about the villa at the bay and imagined him cuddling with Mo Huiling there.
Meanwhile, at the villa at the bay.
Mo Huiling put down her luggage and happily looked at Gu Jingze, "Thank you so much, Jingze. If it wasn't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do."
Gu Jingze let the maid take in Mo Huiling's belongings while the two of them sat on the sofa.
"Huiling, what exactly happened at home?"
Mo Huiling bit her lower lip, "I… It's nothing big." She stared at the floor and looked pitiful, "They weren't approving of us being together all along. Now that they know you're married, they are trying to get me a boyfriend. I objected and we ended up arguing."
Gu Jingze gazed deeply at her as he crouched down beside her, "Huiling…"
She had suffered because of him.
Mo Huiling raised her head, "I am not getting a boyfriend. I want to wait for you, Jingze. There's no happiness in marrying someone I don't love. I won't allow myself to suffer for the rest of my life…"
She was talking about herself but at the same time, she was reminding him that he was not with someone he loved and facing her daily.
Gu Jingze frowned with unhappiness.
However, looking at Mo Huiling, he decided to control his anger.
Today, he was not in a good mood. He felt irritated and his heart burned.
Even Mo Huiling could tell. From the beginning, Gu Jingze's expression had been as cold as ice and his eyes were like daggers. His mouth had curled downwards unhappily.
However, Mo Huiling still felt rather happy.
Perhaps he was not happy because of how her family treated her.
She had always known he was a strong-willed person. She thought that he must have felt jealous.
Mo Huiling slumped against him and looked at him, "Jingze, what am I supposed to do? My family will continue trying to force me. I don't even want to go back home anymore these days. Who knows what kind of guy they'll try to set me up with."
Gu Jingze turned to her and said plainly, "You can stay here as long as you want."
Mo Huiling tugged at him and said, "Are you going to stay with me…"
Gu Jingze sighed and said without hesitation, "Huiling, that won't be right. I'm a married man."
Mo Huiling's face fell, "But I'm scared to be alone here."
"I've already delegated five maids here. There's a chef in the kitchen and my security guards. Everything is secured. I won't let anything happen here. You can rest assured."
"No matter how many people are here, they can't compare to you," Mo Huiling looked at him, "I don't want to be alone here. I don't feel safe."
However, Gu Jingze sat there and didn't say a word.
Mo Huiling grew frustrated and looked at him, "Or you're thinking of going back to your pretty little wife. That's why you don't want to stay here?"
Pretty little wife?
Gu Jingze's brows knitted again and his eyes flickered. He looked at Mo Huiling, "Forget it. I'll stay here."
It was not like he had not stayed outside his home before, but he had never stayed in the same room with her. Because of his illness, he could not have physical contact with her.
Mo Huiling was exhilarated. She quickly called for supper to be prepared. Her beautiful face brightened up.
Seeing how happy Mo Huiling was, Gu Jingze decided to go ahead and stay. He owed Mo Huiling too much. Thus, a small matter like this making Mo Huiling happy also alleviated some of his guilt.
Later, they ate their supper and returned to their respective rooms. Gu Jingze was completely uninterested. Mo Huiling wanted to ask him over and see if she could make him stay in her room. However, he never gave her the opportunity to ask and retreated to his own room.
Mo Huiling could only stomp her foot and go to her own room.
Gu Jingze really did not return home the whole night.
Lin Che went out to have her breakfast. There was only one plate of food on the table in the huge hall. She felt moody.
Even though there was just one less person, and there were so many servants walking around obliviously, the house suddenly felt empty to her like something was missing.
Soon enough, the company called and excitedly told her about an advertising job. She quickly rushed over.
When she arrived, Yu Minmin told her all the details about the advertisement. There would be a lot of viewers. With her endorsement, it would greatly expand her popularity as well.
However, she did not know that this good opportunity would lead her into her very first defamation plot…
Bab 60: He Was Slightly Fed Up With Mo Huiling
Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Che walked towards the endorsement company together with Yu Minmin. Lin Che walked while saying, "It's my first time as an endorsement model. I didn't think that I would ever take an advertisement job."
Yu Minmin smiled and looked at her. "Now, you're someone with a piece of work. Also, now is your time to rise. Stop thinking that you're just a background actor. You're already an artist with some reputation, you understand?"
Lin Che said, "Hehe, I'm still just a little unaccustomed to it. I feel like everything happened so quickly. A few months ago, I had nothing at all."
Yu Minmin said, "This profession is precisely like that. You can get famous very quickly as long as you can seize the opportunity. However, you must be careful too. This is precisely the period when it's easiest to be suppressed. If something crops up time and you haven't begun to get famous, the company won't waste so much money on saving you. You still don't have social connections of your own, unlike artists who are already stable and can still gradually recover from mishaps. If anything happens during this period, there really won't be any way for you to stand up again, understand?"
Yu Minmin spoke much more to Lin Che because she had slowly begun to feel that Lin Che was not that bad.
She also hoped that Lin Che could last a long time and become more and more popular.
Hearing this, Lin Che nodded her head solemnly. "I understand."
Following this, the process of signing the endorsement contract was very smooth. It was only when Lin Che walked out that she coincidentally saw Senmira, a currently famous film star. Outside, a line of people glared at Lin Che and Yu Minmin when they saw them coming out as if they were burning with rage.
Senmira had also just gotten popular in the past two years and her company was vigorously promoting her. However, the two of them had never crossed paths at all, so Lin Che was a little confused. Yu Minmin pulled her along to leave this place.
Yu Minmin said, "Ignore her. This advertisement was initially hers actually, but the endorsement company changed it to you at the last minute. That's why she's in a fit of anger."
Lin Che said, "That means that I robbed her of her advertisement?"
Yu Minmin said, "Uh, that's technically the case… but in this profession, there's no such thing as stealing roles. You can say that only true capability speaks. The endorsement company took a fancy to your potential to grow; that's why they chose an artist who's rising."
"Alright then."
That night, Lin Che followed Yu Minmin to dine together with the advertisers. It was necessary to acknowledge their approval of her.
In the car, Lin Che called Yu Minmin and asked her where they were to meet.
Yu Minmin said, "You go in first. It's Room 302. I'll be there soon."
Yu Minmin was still in the midst of a traffic jam and was presently anxious. She put down the phone and looked in front again. Images of Gu Jingming on a state visit were playing on a large screen. She could not help but stare blankly.
Gu Jingming stood upright, dressed in a suit. On the screen, he appeared very good-natured, but his expression concealed a sternness. Yu Minmin recalled the popular opinion of many towards Gu Jingming; they said that he was an iron-handed president who was adept in dealing with both external and internal political relations of the nation, so he was rooted deeply in the hearts of the people.
She spaced out momentarily but when she regained her senses, she collided head-on with the car in front of hers… she had caused a rear-ended collision…
"Damn it," Yu Minmin cursed angrily before quickly getting out of the car.
Outside the meeting place, Lin Che made numerous calls to Yu Minmin, but she did not answer.
Left with no choice, Lin Che could only enter the private room, the number that Yu Minmin had told her, on her own.
However, when she opened the door to the room, she immediately saw the people inside staggering from side to side. They were either lying down or standing crookedly, and all of them looked very strange. However, it was obvious that they were not the people Lin Che was to meet tonight…
Lin Che was instantly dumbfounded. She turned around and was about to leave but someone inside gripped her wrist forcefully…
Outside, in the corridor that no one saw, Senmira was holding her phone with a bit of a sly smile at the corners of her lips. She said into the phone, "I've arrived, Lin Li. Thanks for telling me that she's here. Tonight… I'll definitely make it so that she can't leave."
Before Lin Che managed to react, she heard the police barging in already.
"All of you, freeze. Put down the drugs that are in your hands and stand against the wall, one by one."
Drugs?
Lin Che began to look around carefully. When she looked at the strange objects all over the room and those bizarre people, she finally understood. A chill slowly began to spread from the bottom of her heart.
If an artist got involved with drugs, what did he or she face?
It was not like there were no examples before her…
Gu Jingze was presently in his office. Mo Huiling's sudden call inevitably interrupted his work once again.
He felt a little resentful. Over the past few days, Mo Huiling had been chasing after him relentlessly. She had already been a huge disturbance to his work.
Mo Huiling said, "Jingze, you're still not coming over to sleep tonight?"
After the first day that he stayed there, he felt slightly unwell, so on the second day, he made an excuse that he was busy with work and did not go over again.
But then, Mo Huiling began to call relentlessly to ask him about his work matters, making it slightly difficult for him to fend her off.
"I'm still a bit busy. Huiling, if you feel bored, I can get Qin Hao to send a car over to pick you up. You can go shopping; I've already instructed someone to leave the card for your use. Otherwise, you can go overseas to shop around. You can take the Gu family's airplane that's always available at home and fly over."
"I… don't want that. Jingze, what happened? Have you gotten sick of me? Did I cling onto you too tightly? Are you trying to chase me away?"
Gu Jingze massaged his brow. "No, you're thinking too much."
Qin Hao was still waiting at the side with his hands hanging by his sides. Gu Jingze waved at him and gestured for him to wait for a moment. He said to Mo Huiling over the phone, "I'm going out of town on an official business for a few days. Be obedient, Huiling. When I'm done, I'll give you a call."
Mo Huiling's spirits were slightly dampened. Hearing him say this, she could only say, "Alright then. I'm hanging up. Love you, Jingze."
Mo Huiling could not press him too much either. She was deeply afraid that Gu Jingze would be disgusted with her at this important time now. However, she could not be too far away from him either. Otherwise, Gu Jingze would definitely get together with that little bitch. This worried Mo Huiling immensely too.
She could only put down the phone and think viciously about what she should do to own him completely…
Gu Jingze was really going overseas.
From the side, Qin Hao saw Gu Jingze put down the phone and say, "Sir, the airplane at the private airport has already been prepared. They are currently arranging the time for takeoff with the National Flight Division. The plane can probably take off in about half an hour. Would you like to go to the airport now?"
"Alright. Make some preparations and we'll head to the airport."
Gu Jingze stood up and left.
Qin Hao recalled Lin Che's matter. He thought that Gu Jingze had ignored Lin Che for quite a few days.
"Sir, do we need to inform Madam?"
Gu Jingze's face darkened.
"There's no need."
Lin Che?
A few days had passed, but she had not called even once.
She was really doing her job and fulfilling her responsibilities as a contractual wife.
Meanwhile…
At the Special Police Department, Lin Che was being interrogated at the Special Department because she was an artist.
"Just confess, Lin Che. You're definitely no artist here and now. You're a criminal. This trick won't work on us." The investigating officer looked at Lin Che scornfully. He hated these artists the most; although they acted and looked high and mighty, they were all lowly rascals.
