Chapter 544, do you believe her nonsense (late at night)

Ye Jiuliang, that dead girl, always had so many wicked ideas and brutal methods. If she were to fall into her hands, how could she still be alive?

No, she must not panic, with that person helping her, she might not necessarily lose.

Forcing herself to calm her inner turmoil, Mo Lingling looked towards Gu Xinuo with an air of arrogance, "Gu Xinuo, you should be worried about yourself. Do you really think Chu Chen likes you?"

Gu Xinuo remained silent, glancing at her indifferently, waiting for what she would say next.

"Let me tell you the truth, actually, the person Chu Chen likes is me. His relationship with you is just for show. He knows if he chose me, you would be unwilling to accept it, and might even leave the K organization because of it. Then, Ye Jiuliang and Ji Mingqian would stand on your side, and the K organization would likely split, easily becoming prey to other forces."

Gu Xinuo’s brown pupils narrowed slightly, a sense of alarm rising in her heart.

How does Mo Lingling know that the K organization is theirs, who told her?

Could it possibly be that person who was lurking behind, the mastermind behind those men in black, egging Mo Lingling on?

Considering this, Gu Xinuo’s gaze darkened, it seemed the situation was much more serious than they had anticipated.

Mo Lingling, keeping an eye on Gu Xinuo’s expressions, felt a rush of secret triumph when she saw the smile on Gu Xinuo’s lips fade.

"Gu Xinuo, considering we grew up together, I’ll give you a piece of advice. If you’re smart, leave Chu Chen quickly, or you’ll be the one who’s embarrassed when you’re the one cast aside in the end," she continued.

Gu Xinuo almost thought she was watching a melodramatic TV drama, the way Mo Lingling’s words flowed.

She laughed coldly, "Mo Lingling, you say Chu Chen likes you, where’s the evidence?"

"Since you want to see the evidence, don’t blame me for embarrassing you."

With that said, Mo Lingling stood up. Her leg hadn’t fully recovered, and she walked with a limp.

Gu Xinuo watched her retreating figure with a hint of an amused smile at the corner of her lips.

If she wanted to act, then Gu Xinuo would reluctantly accompany her in playing out this drama.

Mo Lingling walked to the bedside, reached out to open the drawer of the bedside table, and took out a photo album.

A glint of sinister fierceness flashed through her eyes. Holding the album, she limped back.

"Here, the evidence you wanted." She pushed the album in front of Gu Xinuo, her expression arrogantly triumphant.

Gu Xinuo gave her a cool glance and reached out for the album.

Mo Lingling returned to her seat, lifted her chin slightly, as if she was already envisioning the picture of Gu Xinuo with a pale face, crying and leaving shortly after.

Gu Xinuo opened the album, and the first photo clearly caught her eye, causing her fingertips that were pressing on the album to pause.

In the photo, the backdrop was the house where Mo Lingling had lived before. On the couch, Chu Chen was embracing Mo Lingling, both sitting close, heads together, looking very sweet.

Gu Xinuo wanted to vomit after just a glance.

Her fingertips rubbed over the photograph, her eyes as cold as stars examining it.

No signs of editing, they were legitimately taken photographs.

"Gu Xinuo, because of you, Chu Chen has to keep up this act with you. He and I were supposed to be together. If it wasn’t for you, he wouldn’t have proposed we take a break," Mo Lingling said, watching her expression.

"Everything he does is for the K organization, otherwise, why would he be willing to be with you?"

Gu Xinuo quickly flipped through the album, which was full of intimate pictures of the two of them, one more affectionate than the next.

Gu Xinuo’s jawline tensed, a chill touching her eyes.

Even though she knew these photos were fake, they still disgusted her, unpleasant to look at from any angle.

But, since Mo Lingling wanted to play, why not indulge her for a while?

Closing the album, Gu Xinuo suddenly stood up, her face turning livid, "I won’t believe a word you say, Chu Chen would never deceive me."

Finding that Gu Xinuo could no longer keep her composure, Mo Lingling inwardly exclaimed with delight.

"Gu Xinuo, face the reality. What’s the point of being with someone who doesn’t love you? I advise you to break up soon, or you will be really pitiful when you are discarded after losing your value."

Gu Xinuo threw down the photo album and left without saying a word.

"There’s something else I need to tell you, Chu Chen was at the hospital that day just to protect me from being hurt by you. That’s why he treated me that way. He loves me, not you, Gu Xinuo." Mo Lingling’s eyes flashed with a triumphant smirk as she relentlessly taunted.

"Bang——"

The door was slammed shut with a loud bang, quivering from the force.

Mo Lingling reached for the photo album on the table, with a cruel smile curling her lips.

Gu Xinuo, as long as you harbor a sliver of doubt about Chu Chen, it’s time for your relationship to reach its end.

After leaving the apartment, Gu Xinuo looked at the security guard at the door.

She instructed him indifferently, "Tell the caregiver, if Mo Lingling refuses to eat, let her starve. Don’t bother with her, and have Mo Lingling clean her room herself."

Eating her fill only to harbor evil thoughts, she might as well starve for two meals to clear her mind.

"Yes."

Gu Xinuo opened the car door and sat down inside.

The engine started, and the purple sports car sped off, disappearing into the deep night.

**

When Chu Chen got home, he was met with emptiness; the house was silent and his wife was not home.

After taking a bath, the little woman still hadn’t returned, and Chu Chen couldn’t sit still anymore. He made a phone call to follow up.

Several calls were made in succession, but no one answered.

Chu Chen frowned deeply, wondering where she ran off to that she wouldn’t even answer her phone.

He tossed the phone aside and strode over to the wardrobe, casually pulling out a set of clothes. Just as he was about to change, footsteps suddenly came from the doorway.

Could she have returned?

He dropped the clothes and picked up the pace, almost colliding with the person who had walked in.

Gu Xinuo put up her hand to his chest to prevent a collision between them.

She looked at him with a strange expression, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Where have you been? You didn’t answer your phone," Chu Chen said, relieved to see her return unscathed.

He called her?

Gu Xinuo was puzzled and pulled out her phone, only to find it was out of battery.

She gave an embarrassed laugh, "My phone ran out of battery, I didn’t notice."

"You gave me a scare," Chu Chen said, reaching out to pinch her cheek, his dark eyes shimmering with a helpless smile.

Remembering the photos she had seen at the apartment, Gu Xinuo’s gaze shifted and her expression turned serious.

"Chu Chen."

Her serious tone baffled Chu Chen.

A feeling of unease suddenly rose within him, "Hmm?"

"I just went to see Mo Lingling. She said that you’re only with me to prevent K organization from falling apart and that the person you like is her, she..."

Before she could finish, Chu Chen snapped.

"Bullshit."

He seized her arm in one move, his gaze locking onto her, "Gu Xinuo, you better not tell me you believe her nonsense?"

"She showed me a photo album, full of photos of you and her together. I looked closely, they’re not doctored," Gu Xinuo said with calm eyes, her voice cold.
