The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage novel Chapter 383

After walking out from the hotel's grand entrance, Lin Che pulled Gu Jingze to her and looked at him. "What exactly are you up to? Why was Qin Qing there?"

Gu Jingze said, "Why?" He looked at Lin Che with a completely innocent expression. "The Qin family won the bid for a project and he's representing them as the person in charge of it."

"..." Fine. It sounded completely plausible. "But why must you go to the Qin residence to attend some banquet?"

Gu Jingze asked, "Why can't I? Since he's your classmate and the two of you were on very good terms in the past, I accepted the invitation out of respect. I'll go over and take a look so that he won't be bullied for his young age while supervising the project. What's wrong with that?"

Did he have an explanation even for this?

Lin Che was momentarily stunned into silence. However, as she looked at Gu Jingze, she had a nagging feeling that the situation was not so simple.

But Gu Jingze was already ignoring her and heading outside.

Lin Che quickly caught up with him from behind. "Gu Jingze, come back here. You still haven't explained what exactly is happening."

"You're such a nag. Let's talk about this again when we go back." Frowning, Gu Jingze opened the door to the car and got in.

However, the moment they arrived home, before she got a chance to clarify things with him again, his lips had already landed firmly on hers.

Um... what happened to talking about this again when they got home?

The next day, Gu Jingze woke up bright and early in serious preparation to go to the Qin residence.

Behind him, Lin Che was despondent and wanted to escape.

However, Gu Jingze had seen her through the mirror.

"Lin Che, where are you going?" He asked while putting on his tie.

Lin Che hastily said, "I... I'm planning to go out. I'm going to the filming site to film."

"I've already instructed Yu Minmin to take a day off for you. You don't have to go to the shoot today," he said.

"What?" Lin Che cried out in alarm. "Then what exactly are you trying to do?"

"There's a social gathering today, so of course, you're coming with me." As he said this, Gu Jingze handed a dress to her. Lin Che said disbelievingly, "I- I- I don't think I should go."

Gu Jingze said, "He's your classmate. Why shouldn't you go? I'm going to the Qin residence in your name. If you don't go, how can I go?"

It looked like Lin Che could not get herself out of this.

She could only resign herself to fate. She put on the dress and followed Gu Jingze to the auction at the Qin residence.

Chen Meili had found out long ago that Lin Che and Gu Jingze would be coming here together.

Back then, Gu Jingze had insulted Chen Meili at the car dealership. She still had not forgotten how he had shamed her.

Thus, when Qin Qing had mentioned yesterday that Gu Jingze would be coming, Chen Meili objected profusely. However, Qin Qing's father had immediately reprimanded her.

He said that she was a woman who stayed at home and did not know anything at all. He told her to stand at the back when the time came and to not be a thorn in the eye.

Her anger only intensified.

Gu Jingze finally arrived at 9 o'clock.

Naturally, Qin Qing's entire family came to the entrance to welcome him. Qin Qing saw the door to the car open. Gu Jingze got out of the car first before personally opening the door for Lin Che.

It seemed that the people around them were used to this, so none of them came forward and simply let Gu Jingze open the door. Thereafter, he took Lin Che's arm in his and led her out.

The moment Lin Che came out of the car and saw the members of the Qin family, she momentarily felt as if she was in a dream.

How many years had she not been to the Qin residence and met the members of the Qin family like this?

In her younger days, she had come here often to play. The Qin family did not treat her particularly well because she was after all an illegitimate daughter.

She walked up the stairs together with Gu Jingze. Qin Qing's father said frantically, "President Gu, our humble auction is honored by your presence. Quick, come in, come in."
