Lin Che said in protest, “Of course not. Usually I simply just ignore them. It’s fine as long as I avoid them and stay far away.”
Gu Jingze looked at her. “Since you’re this stupid, it’s right for you to just avoid them when you can.”
Lin Che was very grateful that Gu Jingze was willing to help her like this. She felt that he had already done enough.
However, when Lin Yu returned home, she vilified Lin Che in front of everyone without restraint.
Everyone in the family was still around and Qin Qing was also there listening. Lin Yu said furiously, “She finally became a huge celebrity and finally made connections with an important figure. Forget the fact that she didn’t welcome us, her father and sister; she even insulted us so badly on purpose. I just knew it. We shouldn’t have asked for her help. Why would she want to help us? She just wants someone to get rid of me. She asked us to go over on the pretext of wanting to help us, but she only wanted to use the opportunity to humiliate us. Hmph.”
After she finished speaking, Lin Yu just went back to her room angrily.
The next day, Lin Che rushed to the filming venue. Yu Minmin and two a.s.sistants the company had allocated followed her along. Actually, Lin Che still felt that it was not necessary for her to have so many a.s.sistants. However, Yu Minmin said that since the company had allocated them to her, it was also a form of support to her, so she should just use them. She could treat it as her helping out the new a.s.sistants and giving them some experience.
One of the two a.s.sistants was called Little Tao and the other was called Little Xiao. They followed Lin Che around and ran back and forth. Lin Che no longer needed to do anything at all.
On the site, Lin Che got along pretty well with everyone and filming was also proceeding smoothly. In the waiting room, Lin Che also had a s.p.a.ce specially allocated for herself. Her two a.s.sistants made her something to drink. They said that lemon water was good for the skin and fruits were good for the body. In the afternoon, her a.s.sistants even specially came to ask what she wanted to eat.
Lin Che ordered some food and asked them to eat together with her.
As Little Tao looked at the copious amounts of high-calorie foods, she even asked in surprise, “Sister Che, is it alright to eat these things? Won’t you get fat?”
Lin Che smiled and said, “My body const.i.tution is more alkaline so I don’t typically put on weight. If I get fat, I’ll just slim down by missing a few meals over two days after.
Little Tao was immensely envious. “You’ll really make everyone envious to death like this.”
Initially, the two a.s.sistants were extremely afraid of Lin Che. However, as they gradually saw that Lin Che was so loud and carefree, she seemed to lack the haughty manner of a celebrity. So they also began to relax and start chatting with Lin Che.
Little Xiao said, “I thought that the filming environment was very tough. But it looks like it’s pretty good.”
Lin Che said while eating something, “No way. In the past, I had it very tough too. This time, the production team really treated me well. They even gave me this waiting room. Before this, I was always outside. I would look for a corner, place a stool there, and wait for my turn to act.”
Little Tao said, “Of course. Our Sister Che is the female lead now. Of course, she has her own waiting room. The environment is also so much better.
Little Tao said, “Sister Che, I heard that everyone has to be an a.s.sistant for a period of time when they first enter the industry. Did you work as an a.s.sistant back then?”
“I did. I was an a.s.sistant for about a year.”
As Lin Che said this, she began to eat ravenously and recalled how she had indeed toiled and suffered in the past. However, now that she thought about it, it was also a very fulfilling time.
Usually, everyone would come and greet Lin Che. Lin Che was simple-minded and she very quickly got familiar with the big-name and small-name actors and actresses. In no time, she had completed a day of filming. Yu Minmin knew that Lin Che was thoughtless and did not know to provide everyone with welfare. Thus, she helped her order barbecued skewers for everyone and treated them to barbecued meat.
Only afterward did Lin Che leave this place. She went to the mall together with Yu Minmin and partic.i.p.ated in an event there. She left the mall in a jiffy. However, before she had even walked a few steps, she unexpectedly saw Qin Qing here.
Lin Che only recalled then that this mall belonged to the Qin family.
Qin Qing stood in the innermost area as he looked at Lin Che. She was smiling as she walked out. Amidst the crowd, her tall and slender appearance was very dazzling.
Qin Qing smiled as he walked over. “You came here for an event?”
Lin Che said, “Yes. I forgot that this place is owned by your family. If I’d known earlier, I would have curried favor with you first so that I’d get a bit more money!”
Qin Qing looked at Lin Che and said, “Do you still need money now?”
“Of course I need it.” While speaking, she walked with him outside.
Qin Qing recalled the events of that day and said to Lin Che, “A few days ago, your family members went to the Gu residence to look for you?”
Lin Che simply knew the moment when she thought about it. After they went back, they probably made up things about her that she did not know about.
Lin Che looked at Qin Qing. “Yes. What trouble did they cause after going back?”
Qin Qing said, “It’s true that your older sister did something bad.”
Lin Che said, “To be honest, I didn’t want to do that to her either. She knows herself what she did. Furthermore, I never said anything at all. Nor did I do anything. Even I couldn’t stop them from seeking their own deaths. So no matter what they say about me now, I can only listen.”
All of a sudden, Lin Che’s phone vibrated.
Lin Che looked down and saw that her screen was displaying the words “Dearest Hubby”.
That endearment made Qin Qing blank out instantly.
However, for some reason, his heart began to feel uneasy.
Lin Che felt embarra.s.sed as well. She herself was already used to this endearment. But after all, it was still a little embarra.s.sing to answer the call when she was beside Qin Qing.
She answered the call and said, “What’s up?”
Gu Jingze said, “Are you done? We agreed to go out for a meal.”
“Oh, I’m already done. I’m walking out now.”
“Alright. I’ll get someone to go over and fetch you soon.”
“I know already, you long-winded dork.”
“If I don’t nag you like this, I’m afraid that a r.e.t.a.r.ded person like you won’t be able to find the place.”
“Get lost!”
Lin Che hung up the phone and lifted her head. She looked at the gaze which Qin Qing was directing to her and could not help but use her fingers to fix the hairs beside her ear in embarra.s.sment. “What happened? Continue speaking.”
Qin Qing looked at her handphone and thought, Was that Gu Jingze?
That ‘Dearest Hubby’ was Gu Jingze?
However, from listening to their tone, he could tell that their conversation was all very ordinary. It was all so natural like something that they would say every day.
Qin Qing said, “You and Gu Jingze are really… ”
“Why?”
Qin Qing said, “It’s nothing. It’s just that I always felt that Gu Jingze was probably not a good person. At least to women, he was probably not the best choice. You actually deserve someone better.”
Lin Che smiled and looked at Qin Qing. “What should the best choice be?”
“Someone who suits you,” Qin Qing said.
Lin Che said, “Why are Gu Jingze and I not suited for each other?”
Qin Qing said, “People like him have lives that are too complicated.”
Lin Che said, “I know what you want to say. Because of my status, my family background, and my lifestyle are too different from his, the fact is that I’m not worthy of him.”
“No… ” Qin Qing simply did not want to see them be together. Although these thoughts were evil, he simply could not control them. “I’m sorry. That’s not what I meant. I just feel that I don’t really like you and him being together.”
Lin Che lifted her head up in surprise.
Qin Qing’s expression was a little unnatural as he looked outside.
“Lin Che, we’ve known each other for so many years.”
“Yes.”
“From the beginning, you and I were merely cla.s.smates.”
“Hn… ”
Qin Qing looked at Lin Che. “Did you ever like me?”
Lin Che looked at Qin Qing in astonishment.
