She had especially gotten this man to come with her just to show Gu Jingze that without him, there were still many men courting her. Among those men, the man before her was a pretty good specimen.
With the man on her arm, she smiled while walking a little closer to them. Gu Jingze frowned and instinctively walked a few steps forward as well.
Mo Huiling smiled at him. “Hey, Jingze. You came to attend the banquet too. Why didn’t I see you earlier?”
Gu Jingze’s eyes were fixed on the man beside her. He recognized this man.
They previously had an opportunity to work together as business partners. However, the partnership dissolved later on. The relationship between the two of them was not good.
It was likely that Mo Huiling was aware of this as well. At the time, they had gone to X Nation together and only gotten to know that man, Li Mingyu, then.
However, she was now unexpectedly standing together with him.
How could Gu Jingze feel comfortable with this?
Then, Li Mingyu even took the initiative to come over and greet Gu Jingze. “President Gu, long time no see. Oh, when did you meet this beautiful woman? Anyway, I totally understand. I have a beautiful woman by my side as well. Oh, I forgot. You two know each other too.”
Mo Huiling stared at Gu Jingze. Suddenly, she saw a chill flash in Gu Jingze’s deep eyes. She knew then that he was angry.
He could still get angry! A wave of hope rose in her heart all of a sudden. A surge of pleasure accompanied it; she was very glad that she was able to make Gu Jingze angry by being together with another man.
His anger proved that he still cared about her in the end.
Mo Huiling said, “Alright. Li Mingyu, don’t joke around anymore. Right now, I’m just friends with Jingze.”
She emphasized the word friends and stared unwaveringly at Gu Jingze.
Naturally, Gu Jingze was angry. He looked at Li Mingyu and did not speak a word.
Li Mingyu cast his gaze upon Lin Che. He was stunned when he looked at her.
He wondered when Gu Jingze had his mind straightened out to have actually found such a beautiful woman.
Lin Che merely watched from the side. Before she could even speak, Gu Jingze had already grabbed her and walked out.
“Hey, Gu Jingze...” Lin Che could only leave as he pulled her along with him.
Gu Jingze brought Lin Che to the eating area at the venue. He then said, “Don’t bother about them. We’ll just eat our food.”
Lin Che turned her head and took a look before saying, “That’s probably Miss Mo’s new boyfriend, right?”
“Yeah,” Gu Jingze said.
Lin Che said, “Aren’t you going to go over and ask Miss Mo about it? It might not be too late to ask her now.”
“There’s nothing to ask. In any case, she should have her own future too.”
“But...”
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze’s dark expression. She had hardly finished speaking when she heard Mo Huiling’s voice from behind them. “Jingze.”
Mo Huiling walked towards them. Lin Che paused before looking at Gu Jingze’s furrowed brow. He was still angry.
However, this anger probably stemmed from his jealousy and envy.
Recognizing the situation, Lin Che hastily said, “Oh, you guys go ahead. I’ll go over there to get a drink.”
Gu Jingze watched Lin Che lift her gown and leave. Still, he did not look at Mo Huiling.
Mo Huiling said, “Jingze, what’s wrong with you? What did you mean by not saying a word? We’ve already broken up. It shouldn’t be a problem for me to look for another man.”
Gu Jingze looked at Mo Huiling. “Indeed, it’s not a problem. But you probably know about what happened between him and me. We’ve had past conflicts and this person is dishonest. I told you this a long time ago. Why did you still mix around with him?”
“So what if he’s dishonest? I think it’s normal for men to use some tricks in business. I find him very impressive.”
“Huiling, how could you think this way?!” Gu Jingze frowned and said, “In business, tricks are just tricks. But they’re absolutely not the kind of underhanded and treacherous methods he uses. I just don’t want you to fall prey to his tricks and be deceived.”
Gu Jingze closed his eyes before looking over to the other side. He drew in a deep breath and said, “Forget it. If you think it’s nothing, then it’s nothing. I just hope you don’t regret this. Look out for yourself. If any problem crops up here, you can ask me for help too. Just don’t let him deceive and take advantage of you.”
Mo Huiling’s heart burst with joy upon seeing such rare agitation from him. She was extremely pleased about this scheme of hers.
“What can I do? Jingze, remember this. No matter what I do, you’re the one who betrayed me first. You abandoned me first. Whichever brilliant man I find in the future, it has nothing to do with you. You can’t stop me from looking for men more outstanding than you when you didn’t want me. I think he’s handsome, has a lot of money, and is extremely capable. He’s precisely a good man that’s hard to come by, hmph.”
Mo Huiling left immediately after she finished speaking.
Gu Jingze merely looked to the other side and shook his head silently.
He was immensely angry inside. He stretched out his hand and gripped a glass. After drinking some water, he turned around and went to look for Lin Che.
Although he wanted Mo Huiling to find another man and wanted her to lead a new life, these were just thoughts. When he really witnessed it happening, it was another thing altogether.
Furthermore, he felt that Huiling was giving up on her own future by doing this, just to get a man to anger him.
How could Huiling be so irrational? And so reckless too?
He was a little upset and disappointed with Mo Huiling. In addition, his feelings about her were extremely complex at the moment.
After she had gotten her revenge on Gu Jingze, Mo Huiling very quickly returned to where Li Mingyu was.
Li Mingyu said, “You really broke up with Gu Jingze? Huh. How could you bear to do that? In the past, you even told me that Gu Jingze has money, power, and a handsome appearance. You said that he’s the best man on earth, so you were sure that you would marry him. Now, you’re just going to give up like this?”
“None of your business.” Mo Huiling said angrily, “He’s just been temporarily fooled and deceived. Look at the woman who came with him. She’s ugly, disgusting, and lacks class too. She’s completely and utterly lowly. Jingze has practically been ruined by her. There will come a day that he regrets it, hmph.”
On the contrary, Li Mingyu looked at Lin Che who was over there chatting happily with other people and said, “No way. I really think she looks pretty good. Her face is very pleasing to look at. It’s very unique.”
“You...” Mo Huiling’s anger rose to an unbearable extent when she heard this man compliment Lin Che. “But she’s just a commoner. A commoner, you know? Such a vixen. I wonder where she had her face done.” Mo Huiling snorted.
“Okay, okay, okay. She’s a commoner. I get it.”
Mo Huiling looked at this man.
Indeed, she had initially approached him because he and Gu Jingze were in conflict. She thought that a man who had the ability to have gone up against Gu Jingze before would definitely be extremely capable.
However, looking at him right now, he was actually not as mesmerizing as Gu Jingze at all. Still, he was pretty powerful in H Nation. Nevertheless, H Nation could not compare to C Nation at all. In terms of money, there was even less room for discussion.
When he was not standing together with Gu Jingze, the comparison was not that obvious. When she placed them sided by side for comparison now, she really felt that it was inconceivable that a person as powerful and perfect as Gu Jingze could exist on earth.
However, at this moment, Gu Jingze was standing beside Lin Che instead.
