1299 I Don“t Want To Be Lonely
After she was dragged out, Lin Che was brought to a small pub outside.
It was filled with people from this industry. In the past, Lin Che had also come to this pub before.
Although its interior had been upgraded, it was still open for business, also because many celebrities came here.
Lin Che was with Gu Jingyu. Because Gu Jingyu was clearly in a bad mood, Lin Che let him do as he wished.
Gu Jingyu was shouting for Lin Che to drink.
Lin Che could only patronize him and drink.
Gu Jingyu said, “Look at you. You’re not giving me any face at all. We’ve been friends for so many years.”
“Can I order you, as your sister-in-law, to stop drinking?”
“Hehe. No.”
Lin Che rolled her eyes.
Beside them, some people saw that Gu Jingyu and Lin Che had actually made a rare appearance and even wanted to approach them for a chat.
Many people tried to pull strings here. When they saw anyone whom they could pull strings with, they would quickly rush over to curry favor with them in hopes of getting a role and getting some benefits. In the movie and television industry, those who relied on connections were everywhere.
However, seeing that Gu Jingyu was not in a good mood, Lin Che quickly fended them all off by pretending to ignore everyone and by putting on a foul expression. When other people saw that the two of them wanted to ignore everyone, they worried that they would offend them instead if they came here to join them. Therefore, they did not approach them.
After some time, Gu Jingyu was a bit drunk. With his body tilted, he said, “Eh. I think women are truly… living beings that are impossible to understand.”
Lin Che asked, “What’s wrong with you? Have you been hurt?”
“I just feel that they may behave a certain way one moment and behave another way in the next. I can’t guess what they’re thinking.”
Lin Che smiled. “Oh, you. You’re thinking too much. You care too much. That’s why you feel this way.”
Gu Jingyu said, “Who the h.e.l.l cares?!”
Just then, someone called Lin Che.
Lin Che was a little suspicious when she saw that it was an unknown number.
However, ordinary people would not know her number. Gu Jingze had specially set it up for her before. Marketing and advertising calls and the like could not reach her phone.
Thus, calls that could reach her phone were usually useful ones.
Lin Che answered the call doubtfully.
“Is this Lin Che?” The voice on the phone was quite cautious and tentative.
“Who are you?” As she did not know who the other person was, she did not immediately admit to it.
“Oh, I’m from the w.a.n.g Manor. As for me, I met you previously at your grandmother’s funeral.”
Grandmother?
Lin Che froze.
That had happened quite a long time ago. Furthermore, a significant number of people had been there that day. She could not really remember who it was.
But since she was from there, she was probably calling because something had cropped up.
The person who had called was a woman. Lin Che figured that she was perhaps one of her relatives there.
“Oh, I see. I’m Lin Che. Is something the matter?”
“Uh. Hasn’t it been a few years? When your grandmother pa.s.sed away, we did not exchange many words when we met. We’re on vacation in B City right now. I was thinking of visiting you. Before your grandmother pa.s.sed, you were the person she was most worried about. We wanted to visit you while we’re here so that we can reminisce with your grandmother at her tomb and let her know if you’re doing well.”
On account of her grandmother, Lin Che definitely had to meet them after hearing that they had come to B City.
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingyu, who was slightly dazed as he sat beside her crookedly. Then, she pulled him up swiftly.
“Enough. Stop drinking. I’m going out to meet someone. I’ll send you home.”
“Huh? Who are you going to meet? Let me take you there.”
“How are you going to bring me when you’re like this? Do you still want to drive? Forget it.”
“Oh no, you’re right. I can’t drive yet. Let’s go. I’ll go with you.”
“…” Lin Che asked, “Oh dear, why are you coming with me?”
“What’s wrong? Who are you meeting that I can’t meet? Oh no, are you doing something behind Second Brother’s back? No. I must go and take a look.”
This Gu Jingyu simply wanted to cling to her no matter what.
Lin Che thought that perhaps he did not want to go back alone and let his imagination run wild. That was why she thought that it would be good for him to have someone with him. Therefore, she did not refuse him any further and took him with her.
At the moment, the entire family was waiting at the entrance of B City’s rail station.
When Lin Che arrived, she was a little stunned when she saw a row of people standing there.
There were more people here than she had expected.
But luckily, she had many cars at home.
She instructed her subordinates to drive over.
When the staff of the rail station saw a few luxury cars pa.s.s by, they did not stop them immediately.
If only one car had driven here, it would be fine. Cars were not expensive now and there were many wealthy people too.
But seeing as so many cars had driven in, these were definitely not ordinary wealthy people.
So, the staff of the rail station immediately cleared some s.p.a.ce for them to park their cars.
Lin Che was slightly embarra.s.sed when she got out of the car, because she was afraid there were many people outside. On top of that, Gu Jingyu was with her. If she got off too soon, people would immediately gather around the moment they saw them. It would be troublesome if that happened.
She thanked the people who came over to help her. When the station staff saw that it was Lin Che, they were dumbfounded. Dazed, they nodded with smiles across their whole faces.
“You’re welcome, you’re welcome.”
As for the people over there, they were filled with surprise when they saw Lin Che and her subordinates approach in a line. Their manner was stylish and grand.
They thought to themselves, How imposing their presence was. Even the people in uniforms standing at the rail station had to nod their heads and bow.
In their eyes, people who wore uniforms in a place like B City were all much more impressive than those who wore uniforms back home.
Furthermore, someone with sharp eyes immediately shouted, “Oh, that’s Gu Jingyu!”
By this time, Lin Che had already made her way over. She saw that six people had come. The person leading them was probably the lady who had called her. She was dressed cleanly and neatly. She had two boys and one girl beside her, who were probably her sons and daughter. There was a man trailing behind her. He was probably her husband. Further beside her, there was a woman who resembled the man very closely. She guessed that she was probably her sister-in-law.
After going over, her guesses were all confirmed.
The woman hastily said with enthusiasm, “Little Che, oh no, you don’t remember me any more right? I’m Su Fen. We have the same mother. Your grandmother was our neighbor.”
Lin Che immediately understood that she was a relative on her mother’s side.
She ought to call her Second Aunt.
“Second Aunt, nice to meet you.”
“Yes, yes. h.e.l.lo. This is your younger sister, Liulian. These are your two younger brothers. This is your Uncle.”
After introducing each of them, Su Fen looked at the car behind. Liulian and the rest were all looking at Gu Jingyu.
Gu Jingyu looked on from where he was. After hearing that they were Lin Che’s relatives, he immediately reined himself in and stood there without talking at all.
Liulian yelled, “Is that Gu Jingyu… Elder Sister, that’s the real Gu Jingyu, right?”
Lin Che turned around to look. She understood how these young girls felt too, so she smiled and said, “Yes.”
“Wow, that’s great. Can I go there and say h.e.l.lo… Can I take a picture with him?”
Hearing this, Su Fen said beside her, “Liulian, why are you so disobedient? What picture? Don’t cause trouble upon your arrival.”
“Ah… hehe.” Lin Che was not in a position to say that she could take a picture with him, because she knew that Gu Jingyu did not like taking pictures with other people. She did not want to make things difficult for her own friend in order to accommodate someone else.
Thus, she merely smiled dryly and did not say anything else.
Seeing this, Liulian muttered, “If not, then forget it.”
Pouting, she went to the back.
