Chapter 142 Falling in Love Is Like Being a Fool without the Ability to Think

Shen Chu's face changed slightly, but she regained her composure in an instant. "The Beichen I know is very nostalgic," she chuckled. "Grandpa Gu once gave him a model he wanted very much when he graduated from junior high school, and he kept it for a long time."

"Oh?" Jian Mo exclaimed softly, and then said calmly, "No matter how long it is kept, it is just a toy..." After a slight pause, she smiled with a smile on her lips, and looked at Shen Chu with curiosity in her beautiful eyes and asked, "Then... is the model still there now?"

Shen Chu's mouth twitched slightly, and the hand holding the red wine glass clenched slightly...

Looking at Shen Chu's expression, Jian Mo knew that the model was probably gone now.

She had done a lot of face-slapping things in the past two years with Gu Beichen. Even if Shen Chu was the person Gu Beichen liked, what could she do? After all... she was still Gu Beichen's wife.

Shen Chu was a smart person, and he could tell from a few words that Jian Mo was not a simple person.

At that time, the waiter brought the first dish up, which resolved the embarrassment of the confrontation that had temporarily spread.

Shen Chu invited Jian Mo to have dinner, and took the red wine glass to indicate, "Congratulations, you got the most important eighteen-story design of the Emperor Club!"

Jian Mo also took the red wine glass and clinked it with Shen Chu, raised her eyebrows and said, "Thank you!"

"Today, I told Beichen that your design is very unique..." Shen Chu pretended to be nonchalant, "Beichen and I are both from UCL, and we both like such bold and extraordinary designs." After a slight pause, she took a sip of red wine and put down the wine glass, "There are not many people in China who can design in this way, and Shang Junhao can't accept it."

At the meeting that day, Shang Junhao asked a few questions. Although it was unclear whether he liked it or not, it was clear that there were some personal preferences mixed in the questions...

Jian Mo's heart began to sink...but she tried to stay calm, and even smiled.

No matter what, she had already lost her feelings, but she couldn't lose the battle!

"Miss Shen, you want to say that it was Achen's idea that I could get this design?" Jian Mo asked with a smile, and then fluttered her eyes innocently, "It's not strange for a husband to take care of his wife, right?"

Shen Chu smiled, "You misunderstood, I just simply admire your design..." She held her cheek with her hand in a charming way, her smile was sincere, but a strange look flashed through her eyes, "Today, I heard Beichen mention that you should participate in the draft, I guess it's to 'appreciate' your design?"

Some things, if you say too much, it will only make it more obvious, and only when you stop at the right time can people think about it.

For this, Shen Chu, who has been in the Shen family since childhood to ensure her status and hopes to be the focus of everyone's attention in the circle, obviously plays it with ease...

In the end, Jian Mo still changed her face.

With the concept of first entry, plus the subtext in Shen Chu's words at this moment...Jian Mo couldn't help but laugh at herself.

Is this the mistress coming to challenge her?

Gu Beichen let her participate in the design, and even let her get the design, but in fact it was just to compensate her...

Gu Beichen walked to the glass window with his hands in his pockets, overlooking the entire city of Los Angeles... Because of the rain, all the neon lights and night colors were shrouded in haze.

"Zixiao," Gu Beichen called out, his eagle eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light shot out from the depths of his black pupils, "A person's pride is not what you think, especially Jian Mo."

As he said, he slowly turned around and looked at Chu Zixiao, with a complex emotion on his cold face: "Jian Mo can participate in the design of the club, it was my instruction... But whether she can succeed in the end depends on herself."

Chu Zixiao frowned slightly, and there was some confusion in his eyes.

"Junhao likes her design, so she got the design rights of the club... You," Gu Beichen's eyes suddenly shot out two sharp rays of light, "Do you understand?"

Chu Zixiao's heart seemed to be stabbed by that look, and he was so shocked that he didn't react for a while.

"Jian Mo is a designer, she has her pride. Such pride, I..." Gu Beichen raised his thin lips in a wanton arc, revealing coldness but pride, "... will not kill her pride!"

Chu Zixiao stood up suddenly, "Even so, you still have to divorce her? A person who has no autonomy over his marriage can be proud?"

Gu Beichen said faintly: "At least... I won't divorce her because of the design plan, or the shares in your hands..."

Chu Zixiao was slightly surprised. He looked at Gu Beichen's arrogant and cold back, and suddenly felt a little bit unable to adapt... Beichen is reluctant? Why is there resistance in his words?

Thinking of this, Chu Zixiao couldn't help but dilate his pupils, and the corners of his mouth twitched several times before asking: "What about Shen Chu? Can Jian Mo keep his pride because of a woman?"

Gu Beichen frowned slightly, and then relaxed again... He just turned around and looked outside again, watching the rain meandering down the glass, and didn't speak.

Soft piano music filled the restaurant, with an elegant style and a romantic atmosphere... Jian Mo listened to Shen Chu "inadvertently" telling her and Gu Beichen's past stories.

Jian Mo felt that she was a good listener, as a wife could listen to her husband's childhood sweetheart talking about their past stories.

Shen Chu looked at the pianist in a daze, "I learned piano for him, he plays the piano really well... and charmingly." As she spoke, she seemed to fall into memory, "Sometimes I wonder to what extent one person can do for another person... Obviously," she retracted her gaze and looked at Jian Mo, "time cannot erase it."

Jian Mo raised the red wine glass to her lips and lifted it slightly. The mellow red wine slid across her taste buds. The aroma was clearly overflowing, but she felt bitter.

Jian Mo swallowed the bitter red wine and raised her eyes slightly to look at Shen Chu, "Don't you think it's impolite to tell me, Gu Beichen's wife, about your past with him?"

"Jian Mo, I know you're not with Beichen for love..." Shen Chu said very tactfully, "You're still young, don't you want to seek your own love?"

Jian Mo smiled, and smiled wantonly and arrogantly, "Love?" She exclaimed, "That's something that only people like you in the upper class can pursue. People like us are naturally better off being tacky and realistic..."

Putting down the wine glass, Jian Mo continued, "Miss Shen, if you came here just to talk about your past with Achen, then I've heard it all... As for what you hope for, I'm sorry, I don't plan to divorce Achen for the time being." She smiled, but that smile was frozen at the corner of her mouth, revealing a coldness.

Jian Mo took her bag and stood up. When she passed by Shen Chu, she said quietly: "Actually, Miss Shen can persuade Achen to give me a divorce agreement directly..."

She glanced at Shen Chu with a haughty look, whose face changed slightly. Jian Mo suppressed the turbulent emotions in her heart and walked away with a proud step...
