At the Lin Family's house.
Lin Li's face turned green with anger as she watched the scene of Lin Che receiving the award on the TV.
The spotlight followed her as she walked down the stage. She was surrounded by people who congratulated her. The reporters also came up to interview her. She was in high spirits.
Lin Li snorted angrily and smashed the teacup in her hand.
"I can't believe Lin Che got an award!"
Han Caiying comforted Lin Li. "It's okay. Now that she has Gu Jingze's support, things will be different. You'll be the same when you marry into the Qin Family."
Lin Li gritted her teeth. That was true, but … the Qin Family was still far from the Gu Family. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
At this moment.
Gu Jingze led Lin Che into a restaurant. Lin Che said, "Wow, this place looks expensive. You don't really want me to treat you, do you?"
Gu Jingze looked at her. "You got an award today. Shouldn't you treat me?"
Lin Che pouted. "But I didn't expect you to choose such an expensive place."
Although it was a Chinese restaurant, one could tell from the outside that it was very expensive.
The decorations at the entrance were very gorgeous, and there weren't many people inside. It looked like they were all single rooms, and each room had a very genteel name written on it. When the people outside saw the two of them coming in, they hurriedly lowered their heads to greet them. They looked very respectful and polite, and their smiles were natural. Their makeup also looked very comfortable. It seemed like they were waiters who had gone through very strict training.
"Mr. Gu, do you want the private room you usually use? I've been saving it for you."
"Okay."
Gu Jingze took Lin Che in and said as they walked, "The food here is very delicious. You'll know after you try it. It's very clean and tastes like home."
Lin Che said, "If you want to taste home, why did we come to such an expensive place? We should go home. I'll make it for you."
Gu Jingze looked at her with a dark face. "You're so clumsy. If you make it for me, what I'll eat will probably be dregs."
"No … It was an accident last time."
Gu Jingze didn't believe her. He brought her here but she didn't appreciate it. What an unromantic woman.
"I come here often. The food is really good. You'll know after you try it."
He really wanted to get her approval. In his heart, there was a kind of hope that the things that he liked, would be liked by her.
At first, he thought that the food here was delicious and had a strange thought. He wanted to share it with her, but she actually complained that it was too expensive.
Lin Che followed him inside. After sitting down, he could see the lake from the outside. This was probably the best place in the entire restaurant.
Gu Jingze was in charge of ordering the dishes. Since he was familiar with this place, he naturally knew what dishes tasted good.
He ordered a table full of dishes. Lin Che felt as if his pocket was crying and his heart was bleeding.
It felt so expensive.
Fortunately, after a while, the food was served.
As soon as Lin Che took a look, he could tell that the dishes looked very appetizing. Just looking at them made his appetite increase.
"Try it." At any time, Gu Jingze ate like a noble Persian cat. His movements were light and slow.
However, Lin Che didn't care. He picked it up and ate it.
It was really delicious.
She started eating in big mouthfuls. She didn't care what she was chewing and swallowing slowly. She ate very happily.
Gu Jingze was speechless. "Eat slowly."
Lin Che said, "Eating in big mouthfuls makes it taste good."
Gu Jingze shook his head. "But it's not good for the stomach."
Lin Che said, "Do you eat to taste good? If it's for the stomach, you should eat porridge every day."
"You only know how to talk nonsense." Gu Jingze glared at her.
However, he couldn't deny that seeing her eat so happily gave him a sense of achievement. It was as if the thing that he liked had received great approval.
Gu Jingze's expression was happy as he watched her eat indifferently.
"Slow down. Look, the food is stuck to the corner of your mouth." He reached out to wipe the crumbs from the corner of her mouth.
"You can wash it after you finish eating. Hey, you're eating too. Why don't I see you moving?" Lin Che said casually.
At the same time, outside.
Mo Huiling entered the restaurant with her friend.
The people around Mo Huiling had always been envious of her because she had been close to the Gu Family since she was young. All along, everyone knew that Gu Jingze was her boyfriend.
They often heard Mo Huiling show off, but she also had the ability to do so, which made people feel helpless.
Everyone could only continue to be envious of her. Therefore, Mo Huiling had always been the center of the circle since she was young. Everyone surrounded her because she and Gu Jingze were childhood sweethearts and no one could shake her position.
Until now, although Gu Jingze was married, it was a secret marriage. Not many people outside the circle knew that Gu Jingze was married. They hadn't even held a wedding, so no one knew that Gu Jingze had another woman by his side.
"Huiling, this place is very expensive. It's embarrassing to always eat here and have to be treated by you," her friend said politely.
Mo Huiling couldn't hide the smugness in her voice. She said generously, "It doesn't matter. Jingze booked a room here just for him. Every time he comes, he can just go there. Jingze pays for all the expenses."
"Really? Gu Jingze is so generous to you. Even his own private room is for you."
"Jingze doesn't have much," Mo Huiling said as she walked in in her high heels.
Everyone was talking about this behind her. "That's true. To the Gu Family, this money can be earned back in minutes. Huiling, I'm so envious of you."
Mo Huiling raised her head proudly.
The shop assistant recognized Mo Huiling at first glance. She came here often, so everyone knew her.
Seeing Mo Huiling, the shop assistant greeted her, "Miss Mo."
Mo Huiling said, "It's the same private room. There are four people here today."
With that said, Mo Huiling was about to walk inside with ease and familiarity.
Unexpectedly, the shop assistant stopped Mo Huiling. She looked inside worriedly and said embarrassedly, "Miss Mo, I'm sorry, but … Mr. Gu is using the private room today."
"What?" Mo Huiling said, "Jingze is here? I'll go and look for him. "
The shop assistant stopped Mo Huiling, who was about to walk in. "But … Mr. Gu has a guest."
Mo Huiling was stunned.
Everyone seemed to have sensed Mo Huiling's awkwardness. They quickly helped her out and said, "Then let's go to another private room. Maybe he's discussing business with someone."
Mo Huiling could only laugh dryly and let the shop assistant go to another private room.
However, her gaze was still fixed on the private room inside. There was suspicion in her eyes.
