She could only look at Granny flabbergasted. Finally, she kicked Gu Jingze hard.
Gu Jingze laughed and said, "Did you hear that? You need to be more proactive. I'll supervise at night while you do it. It's my turn to enjoy life."
"Get lost!"
Gu Jingze's smile was so devilish that Lin Che wanted to rip it off his face.
Granny looked around the big room and asked strangely, "Is this my ward?"
"Yes, Granny. Just take a rest here. Tomorrow is the operation and you must be tired from these few days. You can take a break here."
"Alright. Then you two don't have to bother about me. I can sleep anywhere; it's just that this room is really big and my illness is not that serious. Why not put me in a smaller room? I might be hindering someone in need."
"Don't worry. There are plenty of rooms here. Granny you don't have to worry about it."
Lin Che saw the Granny was resting. She sat there and kept her company for a while.
It was getting late and since Gu Jingze's people were all on standby, she left.
At night, Gu Jingze wanted to go home with Lin Che but he worked the entire day. He started the work and his subordinates dared to not neglect theirs as well. They began working on the first day of the New Year, so he had to continue settling some work. Even at night, he had to handle some e-mails and messages from overseas.
When he left, Gu Jingze was still feeling dissatisfied. He looked at Lin Che, grabbed her fiercely, and kissed her. He then said, "I really should just strangle you. You only know how to piss me off all the time."
Lin Che speechlessly said, "What does it have to do with me..."
He shook his head and finally said, "When I come back, I'll definitely punish you. You won't be able to get out of bed for three days. Okay, go sleep. I'm afraid that I have to stay overnight at work."
Seeing Gu Jingze have it so tough, Lin Che's heart ached a little. She knew that he was very busy but it was also probably to keep a distance, so she didn't think much of it.
A huge stone was finally lifted off her heart today. She knew now that he longer kept in contact with Mo Huiling, so she was his one and only wife. No matter what happened in the future, she was definitely going to care about her husband as a wife now.
Gu Jingze spent the night paying for his wilfulness in the day.
It was actually no big deal. All the work had to be done in a matter of time. Doing them now just meant that he would complete them earlier.
The next day, Lin Che waited for Granny's operation early in the morning.
Yu Minmin and Yang Lingxin also came to wait for the news. Yu Minmin took a look at this hospital and said to Lin Che, "It's indeed bigger than the one I recommended. I don't want to help you in the future anymore. Just go to Gu Jingze."
Thinking about how she was still doing things herself yesterday, she didn't care who to look for. She whined to Yu Minmin, "Sister Yu, a woman needs to depend on herself. How can I look to men for everything? And among the capable women, I only know one Sister Yu. Who else would I look for but you?"
"Go go go. Mrs. Gu asking for my help? If anyone heard that, they would think that I really have some huge power."
The two of them were close and it was natural to poke fun at each other. Yang Lingxin watched from the side and smiled, "Nobody outside actually knows that Sister Che is Mrs. Gu. Now that I think about it, I'm still amazed."
Lin Che replied, "Many artists hide their marriages. It's no big deal."
Yu Minmin said, "Who do you think Gu Jingze is? Little Xin, you haven't been out in society for a while. Given Gu Jingze's power, it's easy for him if he doesn't want anyone to know. Otherwise, how would he have been able to keep such a low profile all these years? Just look at those people beside him. You would know that going past them is not easy. No media crew would dare to publish anything about Gu Jingze without his consent, right?"
Yang Lingxin listened and nodded understandingly, "So I see. You're right. Gu Jingze keeps such a low profile, unlike those wealthy people who like to flaunt for no reason."
Her face was filled with admiration.
Looking at Lin Che, she said enviously, "Sister Che, you're so kindhearted. That's why you were able to meet such a good husband. I think you two really look great together. Gu Jingze is so handsome and Sister Che is also very pretty."
In anyone's eyes, Mrs. Gu must have looked so glamorous.
Lin Che wanted to say that their journey was filled with coincidences and even until now, they weren't always in harmony. Only recently did they get along much better.
However, these words didn't have to be told to others. It was better to just keep it to herself.
Even if she did, they probably wouldn't have believed her. They would even think that she was showing off on purpose.
Lin Che had the same attitude as well. But after entering the Gu family, she realized that it wasn't easy at all. She realized that Gu Jingze had it tough all along.
The three Gu brothers had different paths but they built their own paths with sheer hard work. None of them were idling young masters.
Yu Minmin smiled at Yang Lingxin, "You're still such a little girl. A young lady's heart is so heavy. If you really admire, I can help you tell him."
"No need, Sister Yu. I'll just admire him in my heart. But how come Gu Jingze isn't here today?" she looked curiously at their surroundings and could only see Gu Jingze's men keeping watch. He was nowhere in sight.
Lin Che explained, "Something cropped up at work last night and he had been working the whole night. He didn't come home today. I suppose he won't come here."
Yang Lingxin was somewhat disappointed. She said, "Alright, Gu Jingze should be very busy anyway. Did he work the entire night? Then he should take a good rest in the day."
Lin Che didn't continue listening to her. She looked up to see the flashing light. It has been half an hour but the operation was still not over.
After a while, the doctor finally came out.
Lin Che hurried over.
The doctor said politely to Lin Che, "Mrs. Gu, this is the polyp that we took out from your grandmother. You can take a look."
They usually presented the post-operation results to the family. Lin Che didn't really dare to see but she still took a close look at it even though she didn't really understand what she was looking at.
The doctor continued, "The operation was a success. We'll be taking this for a test."
Lin Che sighed in relief, "Thank you, doctor."
"Not at all. It was all thanks to Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu's trust in our hospital. We definitely tried our best."
Granny was soon brought back to her ward. It was a minor operation but because of her age, she continued sleeping there. Lin Che held her hand and thought of how she almost didn't have any kin left. Her father didn't want her and her mother passed away. When she was all alone, Granny appeared. Now, Granny was her only family. Looking at Granny, all she thought about was to become stronger. She was not going to end up like her mother who couldn't even protect her loved ones.
She needed to work harder.
After sitting there for some time, there was a voice from outside.
Someone said that Gu Jingze was here.
