Chapter 166 - This Little Girl Felt Slightly Jealous

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Gu Jingze pulled her hand towards him calmly.

Lin Che froze.

However, Gu Jingze just grasped it and did not let go. Yet, he did not cast his gaze toward her. Instead, he looked straight forward. “Let’s go. We’ll take a look in front.”

Lin Che’s hand quivered slightly. She looked down at the hand that he had grabbed and could not help but break into a smile. She kept her head down and did not dare to look at him. She just looked at the ground and followed his footsteps as they walked forward.

Lin Che recalled the time she recounted what had happened when she was in school.

At the time, she was merely saying it casually. She did not expect him to actually remember it.

She smiled slightly as she walked in together with Gu Jingze.

When they were about to leave, the school had already put Lin Che’s name in the highest position on the honor roll.

Lin Li was insufferably angry when she saw the huge plague. From afar, she saw Lin Che and Gu Jingze. She thought about Lin Yu’s bitter experience and so she did not go over to them.

It was only when she reached home that she angrily recounted what happened to Han Caiying.

“Mother. You didn’t see how that worthless Lin Che is intoxicated by success now.”

Han Caiying said, “What did she do again?”

Lin Li said, “Today, our school had a celebration. Initially, we were invited to go over to attend a banquet. I saw Lin Che there. She brought Gu Jingze along with her and their manner was really imposing. Seriously, she must have known that I had been invited and so she asked Gu Jingze to go as well. What am I going to do now...”

When Gu Jingze was there, all of the board members of the school did not even spare a glance at the other alumni and chased after him for the whole day.

Allegedly, Gu Jingze had suddenly informed the school two days ago that he wanted to go and take a look. Thus, the school did not manage to prepare properly either. However, the school still tried its best to gather everyone around Gu Jingze.

As a result, Lin Li and the rest had basically made a wasted trip. It was as if they had gone there to fill out the numbers. Of course, she was angry.

Han Caiying thought of the humiliation that Lin Yu had suffered at the Gu residence and still felt anger.

“This Lin Che. Hmph. Sooner or later, she’ll end up suffering.”

Lin Che returned home. The next day, she went along with the company to film the new commercial.

Initially, nothing bad happened. As Yu Minmin was afraid that something would crop up, she stayed and watched from the side constantly in order to prevent that Mo Huiling from doing something.

Sure enough, Mo Huiling came in the afternoon. However, she merely looked over to them from the other side, greeted them, and did not go over to say anything to them again.

It was only when they were about to wrap up that Mo Huiling came over and said, “I see that you’re not really in a good condition today. What happened? Are you not in a good mood?”

It was true that Lin Che’s mood plummeted when she saw Mo Huiling. However, she was not in the right state of mind today only because it was the first day of filming. She was still not used to the director’s rhythm. Filming a commercial was different from filming a television series. She still needed to adjust herself a little.

However, Mo Huiling did not feel this way when she looked at Lin Che. She merely snorted mentally and thought to herself that Lin Che was nothing without Gu Jingze.

There was nothing desirous about her. Her appearance was so dreadful and her personality was so bland too.

However, on the surface, Mo Huiling still appeared to be amicable. “Lin Che, if there’s anything bothering you, you must make sure to tell me.”

Lin Che said, “Thank you for the concern, Miss Mo. Nothing is bothering me.”

After Lin Che finished filming, she prepared to leave immediately.

Seeing that she had left, Mo Huiling instantly changed her friendly expression from earlier. She walked over to the director and said, “We’re seriously in trouble. Is this Lin Che’s personality that mediocre? We could only let her film this just because an acquaintance of ours gave her a hand. We’ll have to trouble you a little.”

Naturally, the director was not aware of the friction between them. Upon hearing Mo Huiling say this, he thought that she was just being polite. Thus, he said very sincerely, “No. Among these female celebrities, Lin Che’s acting skills are already very good. Furthermore, her personality is pretty good too. Her image is very suitable as well. She looks very distinct when she’s dressed up. She’s completely different from those internet celebrities whose faces all look the same. She’s also extraordinarily cooperative. Her image is still quite fitting with our product. In addition, comments about her on the Internet are very good as well. Relax, Miss Mo. The person you recommended is very suitable.”

Mo Huiling definitely didn’t want to hear the director’s compliments.

She felt even more gloomy, especially after hearing these praises.

This Lin Che really knew how to put up a false front. The reason everyone did not know her true colors must have been because she was too good at pretending.

When Lin Che returned home, she simply sat there and read her script. She knew that Gu Jingze was still busy with work today and figured that he would return a little later.

At the same time that she was filming the commercial, she still had to keep up with the production schedule and continue filming the television series. Thus, Lin Che got pretty busy as well.

Just when she had taken her script out to read, she saw the maid walk in from outside. “Madam, Miss Mo is outside. She said that she wants to come in and meet you.”

“What?”

“The phone is here. Do you want to listen?”

Lin Che looked at the phone in the maid’s hand. This phone was linked to the security office at the entrance.

The maid had already brought the phone to her, so it was not appropriate for Lin Che to ignore it too. Thus, she took the phone.

In all honesty, Gu Jingze was already taking very good care of her. In order to prevent Mo Huiling from coming here again to create trouble for Lin Che, he had informed the security office that Mo Huiling couldn’t go in and out as she wished even if she came.

He had already given Lin Che enough respect.

She took the phone and heard Mo Huiling say, “Lin Che, I want to tell you something about the commercial. Let me in.”

“The commercial? This... Can’t you just tell me at work?”

“Aren’t you pressed for time since you still have a television series to film? Isn’t it much better if we finish filming this commercial as soon as possible? Why? Do you not want me to enter the Gu residence?”

There was nothing for Lin Che to refuse either. After all, Miss Mo was one of Gu Jingze’s people. Lin Che did not want to get between them. Since Mo Huiling insisted on coming in, then she could just come in. When Gu Jingze returned, he could do whatever he wanted.

After she agreed, Mo Huiling came directly into the Gu residence.

She saw that the Gu villa still looked the same as before but there also seemed to be something different about it.

She thought maliciously that this place was hers. Sooner or later, it was going to be hers again. She had merely let Lin Che live here temporarily.

Sooner or later, she would still snatch it back.

When she saw Lin Che, she immediately became enthusiastic and said, “I saw that you were a little out of it during filming today, so I came to help you take a look and talk to you. You should take a good look at the script and practice properly. If you practice more, you’ll finish it in a few takes tomorrow. Wouldn’t that be better?”

As she looked at Lin Che take the script from her, Mo Huiling cast her gaze outside again. She wondered why Gu Jingze was still not back.

Fortunately, it only took a short while for Gu Jingze to finally return to the Gu residence.

After walking in, the maid told Gu Jingze immediately that Miss Mo had come to the Gu residence.

Gu Jingze walked in with quick steps. Sure enough, the moment he entered, he saw that Mo Huiling was here.

When she saw Gu Jingze, she hastily stood up. With her eyes shining, she looked in Gu Jingze’s direction and walked over to him within a few steps.

Lin Che was just about to get up. When she saw Mo Huiling walk over delicately, she ultimately stopped what she was doing. She looked at Gu Jingze as he looked past Mo Huiling to look to her on this side. She could only smile.

She did not want any part in matters between the two of them. This had always been a principle she adhered to.

However, why did she suddenly feel a slightly sour sensation as she looked at the two of them together at this moment?
