Chapter 1099: When Did She Have So Much Authority
Dong Zi heeded and immediately left.
Mother Qin was still in shock.
Qin Qing felt even more embarra.s.sed. He said to Mother Qin, “Mom, Lin Che has been the one doing all these things. This banquet is just a normal occurrence for her.”
He pulled his mother behind him and apologized to Lin Che. “I’m sorry that my mom came to disturb you, Lin Che. We swapped invitations with someone so that we could all come. Mengqi did it. If it’s against the rules, I’m really sorry.”
Lin Che heard his words and did not say anything. Rules or not, she did her job. If other people gave up their invites to such up to Mengqi, Lin Che would not bother about it.
“I see. It’s okay. It’s just that there’s so much going on today that I have to understand everything. Otherwise, if someone I don’t know is here and I get questioned for it, I’ll come across as being irresponsible, right?”
“Yes, I know. The Gu family has complicated rules and you’re in a difficult position.”
Mother Qin had now come to her senses. Lin Che was the one who sent the invites to their family?
When did Lin Che have so much authority?
Mother Qin wanted to question her. She still wanted to talk to her as she was doubtful. However, when she looked at Lin Che now, she was too embarra.s.sed to say anything.
Qin Qing did not give her a chance to speak. He simply pulled Mother Qin along as he walked away.
“Let’s go. Lin Che is quite pregnant. We should not disturb her.”
Qin Qing smiled apologetically at Lin Che, then hastily pulled Mother Qin away.
Mother Qin was still in disbelief. However, she watched as Dong Zi already finished his task and returned. He went to Lin Che’s side and whispered something to her. She waved her hand and he continued standing at the side respectfully. Lin Che glanced over here and when she left, the guards behind her all followed after her. They seemed extremely careful.
Outside.
Qin Qing looked at his mother. “Mom, what were you talking about just now?!”
Qin Qing lost his temper and turned around to leave.
Mother Qin saw this and quickly chased after him.
Her son needed to be coddled. After all, he was now the capable CEO of Qin Industries. He was no longer the mild-mannered Qin Qing in the past.
“I… I sympathized with her and wanted to comfort her, so I just wanted to talk to her a little.”
“She doesn’t need your sympathy. She’s doing just fine and doesn’t need your comforting,” Qin Qing replied.
Mother Qin could tell that Qin Qing still had a rather high opinion of Lin Che.
How could she let this continue?
“Qin Qing, don’t think that she’s living a fantastic life now. Don’t just listen to her boast and think that she’s great and rich.” Mother Qin was worried that Lin Che wanted to seduce Qin Qing this way. Thus, she anxiously advised him.
Qin Qing turned around and looked at his own mother. “Mom, how can you say that? How is she not living a good life now? She is part of the Gu family.”
Mother Qin said, “Daughters-in-law of wealthy families all appear obedient on the surface, but who knows what unspeakable things they do behind closed doors?”
Qin Qing shook his head. “Is that what you think? You’re seriously mistaken. Lin Che doesn’t have to do any unspeakable things here at all. Her husband is the head of the Gu family. She is protected by the Gu family’s bodyguards, which no ordinary Gu family member can have. Does Mengqi have any? Mengqi doesn’t. And only a few members have such bodyguards. Their old man, the matriarch, and Mr. President has these bodyguards. If anyone else has bodyguards, it would be her.”
“What? Those bodyguards following her…
are that great?” Mother Qin was naturally skeptical.
Qin Qing said, “That is what Mengqi said. Do you think that she would lie?”
Deep down, Mother Qin was naturally jealous. She was unhappy and did not think that Lin Che deserved all these special privileges.
Qin Qing continued, “Furthermore, Lin Che organized this banquet and she managed every aspect. What does this mean? It means that she now holds a certain position in the Gu family. You still talked like that. You even asked… why none of her family members were here? Only people invited by her can come here. She was in charge of this. Don’t tell me that even this can be a lie?”
“I… I…” Talking about it, Mother Qin’s face turned red and then black. She indeed felt embarra.s.sed.
She also did not know that Lin Che had such power now.
This banquet looked so grand. It didn’t seem like she would be able to organize this.
This la.s.s… What did she know?
She thought that Lin Che definitely had help. Otherwise, she would never have the ability to organize such a huge banquet.
However, she did not dare to voice her thoughts again. She still felt uncomfortable in her heart. She looked around the banquet and was unhappy. Previously, she was in awe of the place. Looking at it now only reminded her that this was all done by Lin Che.
How good could Lin Che do it? Mother Qin even felt proud when she looked around at the things she normally wouldn’t be able to see just now.
So, so embarra.s.sing.

Xue Mengqi was also a smart lady.
When Mother Qin found Lin Che on her own, Xue Mengqi already sent her subordinates to investigate.
The way Qin Qing and Lin Che behaved clearly showed that they knew each other. How could she not be able to tell?
Xue Mengqi’s subordinate said, “Miss, apparently, Lin Che used to carry a secret torch for Qin Qing. They were cla.s.smates and Lin Che fancied Qin Qing for many years. They did not end up together because Qin Qing went with one of Lin Che’s sisters.”
Xue Mengqi was stunned.
Lin Che actually still…
They actually had such a relations.h.i.+p.
Xue Mengqi narrowed her eyes. “Watch Qin Qing.”
Lin Che was really despicable, but… did Gu Jingze know about this?
He probably didn’t. If he knew, he wouldn’t have allowed it.
This was something men cared about the most.

Lin Che went inside to rest. The caretaker would occasionally come to ask her about things.
Although things were complicated, it was not messy. She had already thought through many things in preparation and basically had a solution for every possible problem she thought of. Thus, nothing was in a mess.
Just then, Yu Minmin and Gu Jingming finally arrived.
Outside, the presidential guards came in first to clear the path.
People saw the guards and knew that Gu Jingming had arrived. They immediately gathered around.
“Mr. President is here.”
“He’s finally here.”
“Alright, he is Mr. President. Do you still expect Mr. President to welcome you personally?”
Everyone watched Mr. President walk in. The guards kept everyone at the sides. Behind him was Yu Minmin.
“She is not Madam President for nothing. So many people want to look at her when she makes an appearance.”
“Oh my! Is that the little princess? How cute!”
“You haven’t even seen her and you’re already saying she’s cute?”
“I know that’s the little princess, so she’s definitely cute. That is one very precious baby.”
Everyone looked on. Then, Gu Jingming put an arm around Yu Minmin and they slowly walked together.
It was a premature birth, so the baby was under very strict care. She was very well protected. Yu Minmin carried the baby in her arms as she smiled and greeted everyone who congratulated her heartily. With her beside Gu Jingming, it was a sweet image.
The family of three simply felt different from when it was just the two of them.
