MY BEAUTIFUL BRIDE - SEASON 4 EPISODE 22

Gu Jingyu said, “What? Actually, she what?”

However, Gu Jingze suddenly pulled Gu Jingyu’s arm.

He stared glumly at it as if he was turning the watch into ice.

Gu Jingyu seemed to sense that something was amiss with Gu Jingze. He looked at Gu Jingze and asked in a perplexed tone, “What’s wrong?”

Gu Jingze clasped his arm tightly and lifted his hand up to look closely at it. He shifted his cold gaze upwards and looked at Gu Jingyu. “What’s this?”

Gu Jingyu froze. “This?” He touched his wrist-watch as he felt a bit of pain from Gu Jingze’s hold on him. He could tell that Gu Jingze himself had probably not even realized that he was exerting so much force.

“This watch? It’s not very expensive. You probably have a ridiculous number of these at home,” Gu Jingyu said.

Gu Jingze looked up. “Did someone give this to you?”

Gu Jingyu paused before looking at Gu Jingze. “Ah, you’re right. How did you know?”

Suddenly, Gu Jingze released his hold in an instant.

Had Lin Che given this to Gu Jingyu?

No wonder. No wonder he had only caught a glimpse of it and never saw it again thereafter.

Initially, he had thought that he had seen wrongly.

But it turned out that it was a gift for Gu Jingyu.

It was he who had gotten it wrong and thought that it was… that it was for himself.

He shut his eyes and wondered when he had become a man like this. He had lost his mind from anger over such a petty matter.

However, when he glanced at Gu Jingyu, a thick layer of fog instantly enshrouded him. Wordlessly, he skirted around Gu Jingyu and walked straight ahead.

“Hey, you haven’t told me. What’s wrong?” Gu Jingyu still wanted to chase after him and ask.

Gu Jingze waved his hand, but his subordinates had already come forward directly to block Gu Jingyu.

“Hey, you guys…” Gu Jingyu looked at the burly men. He knew that these people listened only to Gu Jingze’s commands, so it would be useless for him to say anything more. He could only stop in his tracks.

The banquet was scheduled to continue for a long time and only end very late. To make things more exciting, celebrities had been invited to perform in the afternoon and a lucky-draw event had even been prepared.

Everyone had already gossiped enough about the fact that there was no groom at the wedding and were now looking at the exquisite gifts that the Gu family had prepared. Although the items were all little trinkets, they were nevertheless exquisite and extremely valuable. The main thing was that no one cared about the issue of money; they attended the event merely to gain some luck.

Even though the gossip had replaced the topic of the wedding, the venue was still completely bustling with excitement.

Seeing that Gu Jingze had not returned at all, Lin Che informed Mu Wanqing before leaving to look for him.

Coincidentally, Lu Chuxia was right outside. When she saw Lin Che, she recalled how Gu Xiande had pampered her earlier and felt immensely jealous inside.

Upon seeing Lin Che walk forward in a hurry, Lu Chuxia snorted and called out, “Miss Lin.”

Lin Che had not noticed Lu Chuxia initially. She only turned her head around when she heard her voice.

At first glance, Lin Che saw Lu Chuxia standing there and looking at her. She asked, “Miss Lu, is anything the matter?”

“Miss Lin.” Lu Chuxia continued, “So many people are looking at you. It doesn’t seem too appropriate to continue walking so quickly. Did something happen? Is there anything I can help you with?”

Lin Che said, “It’s nothing. Thank you for your concern.”

“Okay. I was just thinking that Miss Lin probably entered this circle only recently, so there are some things you still don’t know. It’s definitely not that easy to be Madam Gu. There are numerous pairs of eyes watching you from places that you can’t see. The way you walked just now was slightly too improper. I hope you can change for the better in the future.”

Lin Che broke into a smile and looked at Lu Chuxia. “I must thank you for reminding me, but I’ve always been like this. Even so, Gu Jingze has never told me that there was anything inappropriate with my behavior.”

“Didn’t you sense how everyone was looking at you when you were speaking to Old Master Gu just now? Maybe he thought it would be rude to tell you, but it doesn’t mean that other people didn’t see. Since you want to be Madam Gu, then you’re obligated to think on Gu Jingze’s behalf. Don’t tell me that you didn’t feel an ounce of embarrassment at all earlier. If not for the fact that so many people were present, Old Master Gu would probably have chased you out long ago for speaking without any inhibition. I just wanted to give you a little reminder. Perhaps you can’t sense how other people look at you, but everyone was feeling embarrassed for you earlier.”

Lin Che had indeed never paid attention to how others saw her. As she listened to Lu Chuxia’s words, she vaguely felt her heart sink.

Naturally, she felt uncomfortable inside.

However, at that moment, Lu Chuxia’s eyes seemed to brighten all of a sudden. She raised her head and called out to someone behind Lin Che, “Jingze…”

Gu Jingze was walking towards them. Although his steps remained firm, he was walking at a very fast pace. As his long legs strode towards them, his gaze was slightly gloomy. He stared at Lin Che with eyes that seemed to be overcast with dark clouds. Anyone looking at him would have let out an involuntary shiver.

What had happened?

Gu Jingze’s gaze very easily imposed a heavy pressure on people, especially when he stared at them.

Lin Che palpably sensed him staring at her and momentarily felt her spine freeze.

“Gu Jingze?”

Gu Jingze did not wait for Lin Che to finish speaking before stretching his hand out to grab her arm swiftly.

Lin Che blanked out. “Gu Jingze, what are you doing? What happened?”

However, Gu Jingze did not speak a single word this time, but merely gripped Lin Che’s arm like this and dragged her along as he walked straight ahead.

“Jingze…” Lu Chuxia still had something to say, but Gu Jingze did not even spare her a glance.

In a fit of anger, Lu Chuxia stomped her feet while standing there. She gazed at Gu Jingze’s receding figure, which seemed utterly somber. However, she did not dare to follow after him. Just looking at his back, she already felt a chill and dared not rashly approach him again.

She hated how cowardly she was being but was simply unable to move her feet. She understood that Gu Jingze was very nice when he wanted to be, but those rumors about him were definitely not false.

Lin Che was twisting her arm in an attempt to get away from Gu Jingze.

“Gu Jingze, what are you doing? Let go of me. What exactly is wrong with you? You… you’re hurting me.”

However, Gu Jingze did not budge an inch and continued to pull her along. He then pushed her directly into the open elevator.

The people inside had initially been speaking. When they caught a glimpse of the immensely sullen Gu Jingze, they immediately turned silent and stood there.

Gu Jingze shot a fierce look at them. Although the two people did not intend to get off at this level, they nevertheless frantically got out of the elevator with their tails between their legs.

Gu Jingze proceeded to push Lin Che swiftly into the empty elevator…

Gu Jingze himself also walked in a little later. He stood there with his back facing Lin Che as he watched the elevator doors close slowly.

He released Lin Che’s arm. She stretched out her hand to massage her wrist and looked at Gu Jingze in astonishment. “Are you crazy?! Where are you taking me?!”

Gu Jingze could only feel chaos in his heart. He could not control his own anger from running rampant in his chest.
