Chapter 289: This Antique Gu Jingze Actually Had Suitors
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Gu Jingze didn’t care that much about Lu Chuxia’s words.
He walked out and sat in the car.
Thinking about Lu Chuxia’s actions just now, he had always been stared at by others with infatuation. However, there really weren’t many times that people confessed to him.
Perhaps it was also because many people were still afraid of his status. Otherwise, they would be like Lu Chuxia and want to maintain their image.
There was perhaps only one person who could cling onto him and not give him a chance to reject.
That person was Lin Che.
If she hadn’t been so immoral to drug him, she might have never had a chance to get close to him. Perhaps n.o.body in this world could be as immoral as her. Grace and image were completely nonexistent to her. She didn’t seem to care about any of these. In the Gu home, she even went straight up to him and stuck to him. He could not fight it at all.
Thinking about Lin Che, Gu Jingze shook his head helplessly.
Lin Che was eating with Gu Jingyu.
Gu Jingyu chose a very quiet and hidden place. There were no screaming fans around and no team members cautiously keeping watch. Lin Che relaxed. As she ate, Gu Jingyu said, “Eat slower. n.o.body will s.n.a.t.c.h your food away.”
“All you Gu family members are full of problems. It’s my habit to eat fast. It’s you guys who eat too slowly,” Lin Che thought about how Gu Jingze was when he ate. He took his time and his movements were graceful and elegant.
Gu Jingyu looked at her strangely, “What Gu family members… How many of us have you met?”
“Ah… No. I mean, who doesn’t know Mr. President? I saw him eating at the state banquet and he was dead slow.”
Gu Jingyu said, “Ha, you still dare to talk about my Big Brother in front of me?”
“What’s wrong? He may be the president, but I’m still a citizen. The president serves his citizens, doesn’t he?”
Gu Jingyu felt that this brat’s words were becoming more and more interesting.
He reached up and pinched her cheek.
“Hey hey hey, Gu Jingyu. Touch me again and I won’t go easy on you.”
Gu Jingyu laughed out loud. Just then, his phone rang. He picked it up, not minding that Lin Che was still there.
“Chuxia? How come you’re so free to call me?”
The person who called Gu Jingyu was Lu Chuxia.
Lu Chuxia said, “No reason. I want to ask you if your second brother really ended things with Mo Huiling?”
“My second brother? Yes. He’s already married so he should have.”
Hearing the words ‘second brother’, Lin Che’s chopsticks paused. She looked up.
Lu Chuxia said, “If that’s the case, do you think that there’s any chance I can be with your second brother?”
“No way. How can you fancy such an antique like him?”
“A man like him naturally has things that attract a woman. You won’t understand.”
“Indeed I don’t. He spends his entire day playing swordfights in the business world. He’s a gloomy man who comes up with schemes for no reason. Why do so many people like him?”
“Just tell me if there’s a possibility or not.”
“It’s possible. You’re a huge socialite. Who doesn’t know the name of Lu Chuxia? You have countless guys groveling at your feet. Just continue working hard at it. I also antic.i.p.ate the day this old tree blossoms. I want to see if he can actually be conquered by a woman.”
“Really? You’re not bluffing me?”
“But isn’t my second brother already married? What are you trying to do?”
“What do you know? He doesn’t love that woman at all. You’ve been outside for too long and you don’t care about anything that goes on in your family. Hmph, I have confidence now. I’m hanging up then.”
Gu Jingyu put down the phone and caught Lin Che’s weird gaze.
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingyu, “Who’s that… She wants to… what your second brother?”
Gu Jingyu said, “Oh, Lu Chuxia. I don’t know if you’ve heard of her but since you’re so dumb, I doubt you have. She’s the daughter of the Lu family, a well-known socialite. She’s very famous in the circle and is my sister’s good friend. I just heard that she wants to pursue my brother and she asked me if there’s a possibility.”
Lin Che subconsciously tightened her grip on her chopsticks until her hand started to hurt.
“Isn’t your second brother already married?”
“I heard that my second brother doesn’t like that woman at all. It seemed to be a forced marriage and they’re not of equal status. Well, status is really all bullc.r.a.p and my family doesn’t mind. But I do feel that an average commoner would never have any common topics with an antique like my second brother.”
Gu Jingyu only felt that Lin Che’s eyes were getting dimmer. Gu Jingyu said, “Hey, don’t think that I have an old brain. I know my second brother’s character. He’s extremely old-fas.h.i.+oned and is completely different from a free and modern person like me. Also, he’s full of problems. If you stay with him for a few months, you’ll realize how great I am.”
“So… Are they very compatible?” Lin Che asked.
Gu Jingyu said, “They have equal status and their characters are quite compatible. Although the Gu family doesn’t need a woman’s help, the Lu family should be beneficial to the Gu family. And my second brother used to like Mo Huiling who is somewhat similar to this Lu Chuxia. I think there isn’t a huge difference.”
Gu Jingyu spoke and realized something wasn’t right. He looked at Lin Che and asked, “Why are you so interested in my second brother’s affairs?”
“Oh, no. I’m just curious,” Lin Che smiled. “Everyone in C Nation is naturally interested in hearing about the Gu Industries and family. They’re so mysterious, after all.”
“Really? I don’t think we are any different from normal people.”
Somehow, Lin Che didn’t eat much after that.
After a while, she felt full.
They still needed to film tomorrow, so the two of them said goodbye and went their separate ways.
On the way, Yang Lingxin noticed that Lin Che was only staring outside. She seemed dazed and absent-minded. Yang Lingxin asked, “Sister Che, what’s wrong? Were you not happy during dinner?”
Lin Che snapped back to reality, “No, I’m very happy.”
“Then, why are you dazed?” Yang Lingxin asked. “I was observing you just now. Everybody was so envious that Sister Che was able to dine with Gu Jingyu.”
“Really? Weren’t we all eating together? There is nothing to be envious of.”
Lin Che slumped to the side. She didn’t feel like moving and her body seemed drained of all its energy.
Gu Jingze may have broken up with Mo Huiling, but it was undeniable that he once loved Mo Huiling. The type he liked should also be a proper lady like Mo Huiling and not a small subject like her who only knew how to toss about.
Lin Che suddenly thought that actually, the distance between Gu Jingze and her was never only just because of Mo Huiling. Their worlds were completely different.
