Chapter 951: It’s So Terrifying To Be Black Hawk’s Younger Sister

Could they really overcome such a huge gap?
He said, “It’s not because of money. It’s because I know that the gap between us is way too big. I’ve seen how terrifying such differences can be. Those who’ve never seen it may be able to say that they’re nothing but I know that these differences exist and some simply cannot be overcome.”
Xue Yang said, “The Wesley family is a regular in the Forbes rankings. They’re an international name. However, I’m just a poor lad who has just gotten an upstart. I know that Abby doesn’t care but outsiders will still spread many rumors after all. I know that all of these are obstacles.
Lin Che stood there and looked at him with her head tilted. “So now, you’re probably thinking about how these obstacles will turn out in the end. Xue Yang, what you need to think about is whether you want Abby or whether you want a peaceful life. It’s just like me and Gu Jingze. I thought about it before. Without him, my life may be more peaceful and there may not be so many rumors. He’s so brilliant and eye-catching. If I’m with him, I may always have to worry about others coveting him. I had a very good time while I was in America for those few years but I still came back because happiness without him isn’t true happiness. Even though my time with him has been very tumultuous, I still find it very fulfilling. At a time like this, don’t care about what others will think. There’s no such thing as perfection. It’s just like buying a house. When you pick a house, you will realize that there will always be one or two unsatisfactory qualities. If it’s not the configuration of the house, then it’s the floor; if it’s not the street where the house is located, then it’s the elevator. The only way you can find a completely perfect one is if you build it yourself. Otherwise, you have to think about what you want most and tolerate the rest.”
Xue Yang looked at him.
Lin Che smiled and patted his shoulder. “Abby will still come back. Or, you can also go and look for her once you’ve thought it through.”
Xue Yang continued standing there. On the other hand, Lin Che had already stuffed her hands into her pockets and left soon after.
It was good enough for her to mention the affairs of the heart. As for everything else, it was better for the people involved to think about it on their own.
Lin Che returned home, changed her outfit, and went to attend a banquet with Gu Jingze.
It was just an ordinary end-year banquet. Many prominent families in C Nation were here to attend.
Gu Jingze’s arrival naturally made this banquet the center of attention.
After all, it was his first year as the head of the family. As a result,, everyone treated him with even more respect than in the past upon his arrival.
After entering the venue, Gu Jingze was surrounded by people.
Gu Jingze dealt with them calmly.
Lin Che told him that she was going over there to put down her coat.
It was very cold in the winter. They wore coats while they were outside. Once they were inside, they handed their coats to the servers who put them in special cupboards before going in.
But there were many women here and they were a little short on servers. Over on that side, many people were lining up and awaiting their turn. At the same time, a few madams who knew each other were chatting as well. They did not seem like they were in a rush.
Lin Che was waiting in line. She was not very familiar with everyone. Just when someone wanted to talk to her but was hesitating and did not dare to come over, a voice from behind immediately made them shrink into themselves.
“Lin Che, why are you standing here?”
It was actually Black Hawk…
Lin Che turned her head. “Ah. I’m waiting to put my coat away. I don’t know if there are any more cupboards to store my coat.”
Black Hawk frowned. He immediately pushed aside the people in front of him and walked in.
The moment they saw Black Hawk, everyone tactfully made way for them.
Black Hawk’s henchmen were even ruder.
“Move aside, move aside. All of you, move aside. Don’t dilly dally.”
They were simply chasing everyone away…
Lin Che was dumbfounded but no one dared to say a single word when they saw Black Hawk chasing people away. They walked out directly and turned to look at Lin Che. Their gazes seemed to be filled with fear.
It took only a short while for the place to be completely empty.
Lin Che looked at Black Hawk in disbelief. His henchmen did not stand on ceremony either and hastily said, “Miss, please go in quickly. We’ll wait outside and stand guard. We definitely won’t let anyone in.”
“…”
Lin Che said, “No way…”
Black Hawk asked, “Why? Weren’t you going to put your coat inside? Quick, put it away.”
Lin Che was at a loss for words. She was so shocked by the expression of unreasonable self-righteousness on his face that she could not say a single word.
She literally did not know what to say in this situation.
But since everyone had been chased out anyway…
She should store her coat first.
The moment she entered, a server frantically ran up to her. “I’m sorry, Madam Gu. We made you wait too long earlier. Here, here…” The server glanced at Black Hawk behind her as if he was looking at a ghost. Then, he hastily stored her coat away properly.
Once Lin Che was done, she walked out to see the people standing out barricading this area as if they were the mafia looking for someone. Each and every one of them had malice written all over their faces. No wonder everyone was terrified.
She said, “That’s enough. This is too much.”
Black Hawk responded, “If not, how long would you have to wait? They really don’t know how to discern between people. How dare they make you wait outside? They were dillydallying inside and chattering away instead of quickly putting their coats away.”
Well, these women were indeed a little slow but he did not need to take things so far.
Lin Che rolled her eyes at her and walked outside.
However, the people outside were looking at her in a completely different light because of what had happened earlier.
Black Hawk caught up with her from behind.
Lin Che said, “Wow. Don’t follow me. Look at how frightened they are.”
Black Hawk blew the dust off his fingertips. “That’s because they’re cowards.”
“Hey. It’s clearly because you’re way too scary, okay?”
Black Hawk asked, “Really?”
Lin Che said, “You have so many people following you. Furthermore, you even look as if everyone owes you two hundred dollars each.”
Black Hawk said, “Ha. I’m not the only one here with a bunch of people following me.”
Lin Che turned to look at him. It was true when she thought about it. However, it was probably because he was Black Hawk and was innately very frightening.
After all, he was the world’s top a.s.sa.s.sin. His name was well known in the outside world.
Only Heaven knew how she suddenly got another brother like this…
Fortunately, Gu Jingze arrived at this moment. Seeing that Black Hawk was behind her, he wound his arm around Lin Che’s waist and looked at Black Hawk. “Why are you here?”
Black Hawk said, “You can come but you won’t let me come?”
“What happened just now?” He asked Lin Che.
But Black Hawk answered him first. “How exactly are you looking after my younger sister? Earlier, she was outside waiting to put her coat away. She waited for such a long time and no one bothered about her. If I didn’t go over, she would still be waiting outside right now, you know?”
Gu Jingze’s brow furrowed as he looked at Lin Che. “What happened?”
Lin Che said in disbelief, “It’s nothing, nothing. Earlier…”
The phrase “younger sister” was rolling off Black Hawk’s tongue way too easily.
However, Lin Che saw that the people beside them were already glancing over curiously when they saw the three of them standing together and talking.
Lin Che did not want anyone to know about their complicated relations.h.i.+p yet. Otherwise, if she went out in the future, people might be afraid of her too if they knew that she was actually biologically related to Black Hawk.
She hastily said, “Enough, enough. It’s fine. Come on, let’s go in.”
She pulled Gu Jingze along and walked in quickly.
Gu Jingze turned to look at Black Hawk.
Immediately, Black Hawk rudely gave him the middle finger.
