Lin Yu’s eyes immediately followed Gu Jingze as he walked in and she quickly stood up.
Lin Youcai also quickly went up to greet him.
“Mr. Gu, we’re here today to see Lin Che. We feel so relieved to know that she is living in such comfort.”
Lin Che rolled her eyes.
Lin Youcai pretended not to see and continued talking to Gu Jingze, “This is Lin Yu, Lin Che’s sister.”
Lin Yu’s eyes glistened as she gazed bashfully at him, “President Gu.”
Gu Jingze glanced at her then plainly called out to Lin Che, “Come over here.”
Lin Che quickly went over and looked at Gu Jingze, “My dad got into some trouble so he came to find me.”
Lin Youcai quickly chimed in, “Yes. Our Lin Yu, this child, has always been so honest and self-loving. So when she went out to entertain clients, this character of hers offended someone. Because someone wanted to touch her and she refused, so she offended him. You see…”
Lin Youcai boasted about Lin Yu and then explained the situation.
Gu Jingze replied, “I’ll let someone handle this matter.”
“Ah, I just knew it. President Gu is such a nice man. Lin Yu, quickly thank President Gu.”
Lin Yu bashfully said, “President Gu, I don’t know how I can thank you…”
Gu Jingze held Lin Che with one hand and smiled at her. The doting feeling in his eyes seemed to say that Lin Che was the most precious treasure in his heart. Lin Yu saw and her heart shattered.
For Lin Che to be liked by Gu Jingze… Lin Yu wouldn’t have conceded even if she was dead.
Gu Jingze said, “There’s no need. Just thank your sister.”
He meant that he was only helping them for Lin Che’s sake.
Lin Yu’s heart sank and she immediately felt depressed.
To have to thank this person whom she had never regarded as a sister; she would never be willing.
Gu Jingze continued, “You don’t need to worry about this matter anymore.”
Lin Youcai quickly said, “Yes. With President Gu’s help, we will definitely not worry anymore. But President Gu, why don’t you let us treat you to a meal?”
Gu Jingze replied, “Forget it.”
“This cannot do. We’re one family now. It’s just a simple meal.”
Gu Jingze said, “The kitchen here has everything. It’s better if you two stayed for a meal here instead.”
Lin Youcai heard this and got even happier.
Of course, it was better to be able to stay here and eat.
“President Gu is really too kind. I won’t stand on ceremony then.”
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze and tugged at him. She said, “Let’s go in first. I need to talk to you…”
Gu Jingze nodded and let the maids take care of the guests. He went inside with Lin Che.
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze, “Why did you invite them for a meal?”
“They came all the way here. It would be rude if I didn’t invite them to eat here.”
Lin Che said, “You don’t have to be so nice to them. Give them an inch and they will ask for a mile. Don’t you think I know my own father?”
“It’s alright. What can they gain?” Gu Jingze said nonchalantly.
Lin Che said, “But why are you back?”
Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che, “If I didn’t come back, wouldn’t they continue pestering you?”
“Ah…” Lin Che she smiled and looked gratefully at Gu Jingze as she knew that they were only here for their own benefit, “But there’s no need to make they stay and eat. Seriously…”
She did not miss the way Lin Yu looked at Gu Jingze. She was practically drooling.
“Who knows what kind of twisted idea they will have again later?”
Gu Jingze pulled her and said, “That’s why I’m giving them the chance to drop their idea!”
Lin Che smiled at him.
Gu Jingze did have his own ideas after all.
And Lin Che had absolute faith in Gu Jingze for dealing with all those problems.
Meanwhile, the two people outside really had some twisted idea.
Lin Yu saw the two of them go in and angrily said, “What does Gu Jingze see in Lin Che? Seriously.”
Lin Che’s chest was not as big as hers.
Even though she had implants.
Lin Youcai said, “Enough. I wanted her to take your place in marrying into the Cheng family last time. Luckily, she didn’t go through with it.”
“You still dare to talk about it. I was almost scared to death when you wanted me to marry that r.e.t.a.r.d. I would definitely not,” Lin Yu said. “She would be better off marrying him. There’s nothing lucky about not going through with it. If she married him, I wouldn’t have to see her be all high and mighty in front of me. I’m not happy.”
Lin Youcai said, “You can’t think that way. It benefits us now that she’s at the top.”
“I don’t want any benefit from her. Who knows what kind of tactics she used to become so lucky? Otherwise, who would have fallen for her with the way she is?”
“Ah, Lin Yu, you must think. She is capable now; that is why you were able to meet Gu Jingze and be in the Gu residence. You must take this opportunity…” Lin Youcai’s expression hinted a certain meaning at Lin Yu.
Lin Yu immediately understood.
Exactly. Now, she was able to meet Gu Jingze.
Also, Gu Jingze was very handsome and charming.
She must grab this opportunity.
It was time to eat. The maids had already set up the table and they placed exquisite tableware on the huge table. The dishes looked so appetizing. Lin Yu and Lin Youcai were in awe. This was the life of a wealthy person.
Just then, Lin Che and Gu Jingze walked over.
Gu Jingze held Lin Che’s hand as they got to the table. He helped pull out the chair for Lin Che to sit down before taking his own seat.
“It’s just regular homecooked food. Don’t mind it,” Gu Jingze said.
If that was regular homecooked food, then they had no idea what a proper meal was like in the Gu household.
Lin Youcai quickly said, “This is already good enough. It’s good enough.”
During the meal, Lin Youcai looked at Lin Che who ignored him. He could only endure it.
They finally finished eating and since there was no reason to stay, Lin Youcai quickly said to Lin Che, “Lin Che, I would like to have a few words with you alone.”
Lin Che looked speechlessly at Lin Youcai.
She put down her utensils and went out with Lin Youcai.
Lin Youcai quickly turned to Lin Yu and gave her a look.
Lin Yu sat upright. She was nervous but excited as she looked over at Gu Jingze who was sitting elegantly over there.
But she did not notice the coldness in his eyes.
When they were outside, Lin Che asked, “Dad, the problem is already settled. What else do you want to talk about?”
Lin Youcai said, “This Gu Jingze seems to be treating you rather well.”
Lin Che replied, “Yes.”
Lin Youcai continued, “Lin Che, it was not easy for us to bring you up. Think about it. If it wasn’t for the Lin family, would you be what you are today? You can’t just spread your wings, fly away, and forget about our family.”
“Dad, what exactly are you trying to say? Can you be direct?”
