Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yu Minmin called Lin Che to inform her that she would not be able to go to the company. For the time being, she would probably have to study in the Glazed Tile Palace.
She took the chance to also complain about how twisted Gu Jingming was.
Lin Che was extremely shocked as well. “Older Brother seems like a pretty nice person. I’m sure he’s not as scary as you say…”
Yu Minmin said, “I’ve finally seen Satan in the flesh. In the past, I thought that it was just a legend but now, I believe that it’s completely real. Satan is precisely Gu Jingming!”
Lin Che laughed out loud and said, “If the President’s fans hear you calling him by his name, they’ll definitely attack you.”
“But you haven’t seen how scared everyone is of him. Furthermore, there are numerous rules I have to follow and you can’t imagine how thick my learning materials are. Gu Jingming is so handsome, but his personality turned out to be so terrible in reality. What a waste of a handsome face. It’s a pity that I can’t expose his true colors to everyone. Otherwise, I sure would like to see whether anyone would still like him for real!”
“Alright, alright. Just endure it. But they’re really going to announce the wedding date next week. Are you… prepared for it?”
“I…” Yu Minmin said doubtfully, “I haven’t thought about it at all. Every day, my head is spinning from all the studying. Alright, alright, I’ll hang up first. The teacher is calling for me.”
Lin Che ended the call. Shen Youran was eating noodles beside her and said, “No way. It sounds as if Yu Minmin is having a miserable time but Mr. President can’t be that frightening.”
“Perhaps he’s really different in private.” Lin Che continued, “But in any case, I don’t think it’s scary.”
Shen Youran said, “It’s because you’ve met too many people. But it really is intriguing. Amongst the people around me, one is Gu Jingze’s wife and one is about to become Madam President. The people that everyone can only talk about on the television and the Internet every day are actually within my reach right now. I feel like I’m superior to everyone else when I see someone talking about them.”
“That’s going too far…”
However, just then, they suddenly heard a sound outside.
Shen Youran jumped up immediately and said, “I think something is happening outside. I’ll go and take a look.”
Shen Youran opened the door only to hear people discussing. “I wonder who’s moving in. I saw many luxury cars downstairs. There were many people too.”
“Luxury cars?” Shen Youran quickly pulled one of them to her and asked, “Auntie, what happened outside?”
The neighbor pointed downstairs and said, “You missed it. Just now, someone said that an extraordinarily handsome man had arrived. Many cars, each worth millions, were parked downstairs. They also moved a lot of furniture upstairs. Dear me, I’m going to take a look. I wonder who he is, how old he is, and whether he’s married or not. My daughter is beautiful and young. I’ll introduce her to him.”
“…”
Lin Che heard the commotion too. She could not control herself and came out to take a look.
“Who moved in?”
“I don’t know, but I have a bad feeling about this,” Shen Youran said as she walked to the window by the corridor with Lin Che.
This apartment complex had several large pa.s.sageways. It was a small apartment complex that had more than twenty apartments along one pa.s.sageway. As a result, they could see that there were many people who had come out to bask in the excitement.
The two of them leaned against the window and looked down.
Who else could the people downstairs be but people from the Gu family?
Shen Youran saw that they were really moving things upstairs. Around them, the onlookers were gesticulating wildly. Every one of those old women, each with plenty of time on their hands, was especially excited.
Behind them, people were walking up the stairs. One of them even said, “I’ve lived for so long, but I’ve never seen such a big spectacle. Who is he? I heard my girl say that just one of the cars downstairs is worth more than ten million. It’s called a Bentley or something. It’s really impressive.”
Shen Youran looked on in a daze as those people moved the expensive and high-grade furniture upstairs. She looked sideways at Lin Che beside her. “Gu Jingze… did Gu Jingze buy an apartment here?”
“I…”
Before Lin Che could even muster a response, she heard a calm voice speak from behind her.
“What are you standing here looking at?”
Gu Jingze!
When the two girls turned their heads, they saw Gu Jingze standing tall behind them as he looked calmly at them.
After Lin Che regained her bearings, she immediately pointed downstairs and asked, “What’s all this, Gu Jingze?”
Gu Jingze replied, “What? I thought that what you said was completely right. After living in the house for so long, I didn’t feel too comfortable either. So I came to try staying here for a few days.”
“…”
Shen Youran’s hand was already over her mouth.
A wealthy man’s method of cajoling a woman… was also as expensive as was expected.
Lin Che said, “Are you going to live here?”
Lin Che quickly rushed after Gu Jingze. She followed him step by step as he headed straight for the apartment beside Shen Youran’s. “So this is the apartment you’re staying in?”
“I’ve moved in,” he said.
“Hey, this place is really small.”
“It’s enough to live in.”
“Furthermore, the security here isn’t good. It’s too dangerous for you.”
Gu Jingze turned his head around. “My security guards will follow me wherever I go. You don’t have to worry.”
“Then… then…”
However, Gu Jingze had already opened the door.
Sure enough, Lin Che saw that the interior had been completely refurbished with brand new furniture. The small apartment was decorated very extravagantly. Although it was small, it was obviously exquisite.
Indeed he was Gu Jingze… it only took such a short time for him to make the house so perfect.
It looked like he had really made up his mind to stay here.
Gu Jingze said, “I’ll look for you again in a while after I’ve finished tidying up.” He closed the door directly when he finished speaking.
Outside, Lin Che stood frozen. She still felt as if she was dreaming.
He had moved so fast that she was unable to react.
At this moment, Shen Youran said incredulously from behind her, “No way. Gu Jingze is way too fast. Lin Che, Gu Jingze is really persistent, but he’s doing all this for you. I didn’t think that Gu Jingze could be so romantic from time to time.”
Lin Che glared at her. However, she herself had not expected Gu Jingze to come here without informing her.
In no time, Shen Youran gathered a lot of information from those aunts again and came back to the room to tell Lin Che, “I heard that the previous owners of the apartment beside ours were unbelievably lucky. The h.e.l.l, Gu Jingze gave them a huge house with three rooms and two halls. It was completely furnished, so they moved out happily. Of course, they’d move out. They’re not fools. The floor area of this small apartment is only fifty square meters, but the one they moved to has a floor area of more than a hundred square meters. That house probably cost at least 2,000,000 yuan. If it were me, I would have moved out too.”
Lin Che had not imagined either that Gu Jingze would actually waste his time and money just to live here.
Right now, she was holding her forehead and leaning against the wall. She was still listening to Shen Youran’s chatter. Although she felt that he had suffered too much to be here, she could not help but feel that it was a little romantic.
Shen Youran said, “Good lord, I wonder how the great President Gu feels living in a small apartment complex with pa.s.sageways like this. Come to think of it, just your bathroom alone is fifty square meters, right?”
“How can it be that big… it’s probably about thirty square meters…” Lin Che said after thinking about it seriously.
“Get lost. What’s the difference?!”
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
