However, a look of coldness washed over Gu Jingze's calm face. He looked toward Lu Chuxia, "No need. I'll send her back."
It was usually rare to see Stephen and the rest of the bosses. This time, Stephen arranged for them to gather and talk. Lu Chuxia didn't believe that Gu Jingze was actually going to leave just like that.
Was he not going to give Stephen any face because of this woman?
Lu Chuxia panicked, "No, let me help you take her back. It's so rare for you to meet Mr. Stephen. If you don't consider giving others face, maybe you should at least consider giving face to Mr. Stephen."
But Gu Jingze looked straight at Lu Chuxia, "Which is more important: giving face or the well being of my wife?"
"..." Lu Chuxia was stunned.
Her words were stuck in her mouth and she couldn't say anything else for a moment.
What he said simply meant that he didn't care about giving face to anybody.
Gu Jingze pulled Lin Che and took her outside. Outside, the onlookers were extremely shocked. They watched as Lu Chuxia followed them out while Gu Jingze took Lin Che with him. He carried her in his arms and left without looking back.
Lu Chuxia stood there hatefully, listening to people talking about some rumor that came out of nowhere. They said that Gu Jingze's woman was ill, so he spoke to Stephen and left Stephen's private meeting upstairs.
Someone said, "I knew that Gu Jingze was unafraid of anything. He can block out the sky with one hand without caring about giving face to anyone. This time, I'm really seeing it in person."
"Yes. It must be so blissful to be his woman and be personally carried back by him."
"Stephen's private meeting is only attended by a handful of top famous people. Didn't you see? They didn't come down at all and went straight up. They're not showing their faces these few days either. Now, Gu Jingze has left and doesn't care at all. If it were up to me, I wouldn't come out of there even if people dragged me out."
Lu Chuxia heard this and her face colored.
She initially set her sight on this meeting organized by Stephen and predicted that he wouldn't leave. Little did she expect that he still walked out of it.
And he carried that slut with him.
Back in the room. Lin Che's face was pale beyond imagination.
Gu Jingze placed her on the bed and looked at her, "How are you feeling?"
Lin Che shook her head, "I'm okay. It still hurts."
Gu Jingze said, "I'll get the doctor."
"It's just a stomachache. There's no need for such trouble. There's no other feeling too."
"Of course not," Gu Jingze replied. Without saying anything else, he quickly asked to call for the doctor.
The doctor very quickly rushed over and carefully assessed Lin Che. He then said, "It's just a gastrointestinal flora disorder resulting in intestinal colic."
Gu Jingze asked, "Is it caused by eating something bad?"
"It may have to do with the inability to acclimatize. The cause is not certain either. Anyway, it shouldn't be a big problem. These are some medicine for the intestine and these are painkillers. She should feel better after taking these. As for the intestinal problem, don't eat any seafood for the time being. The food here may be mostly seafood, so it might have been because she ate too much seafood."
Lin Che nodded, "Thank you, doctor."
Gu Jingze heard this and relaxed a lot more. He looked at Lin Che and let her rest. He took some water for her to take her medicine. Lin Che raised her head and swallowed the pills. She then looked at Gu Jingze, "See? I told you that it's no big deal. I can take some medication on my own and I'll be fine. You didn't have to come back with me."
Gu Jingze asked, "Why did you still endure it when you were feeling ill? Tell me, how long were you in pain for?"
Lin Che was immediately exposed. She pursed her lips, lowered her head, put down the cup of water, and mumbled, "It wasn't that long..."
"Say it. How long did it hurt? Tell me."
Lin Che looked up and didn't want him to worry further, "It really wasn't that long."
Gu Jingze's face darkened even more. He glared fiercely at Lin Che, "Are you going to tell me the truth?"
