Lin Che could only comfort Shen Youran at the side.
When the two of them went in, Shen Youlan had already washed. She was lying on the bed and playing with her phone. When she saw Lin Che, she immediately stood up.
“Wow, Lin Che, Lin Che! You’re so famous now. Can I take a picture with you?”
Shen Youran glared at her, “You still have the cheek to take pictures? You figure out a way to answer to your parents. I’m not going to help you cover up anything. I will tell Mom and Dad every single detail of everything you did.”
Shen Youlan looked at Lin Che and then at Shen Youran. She frowned and said, “Sis, please don’t tell Mom and Dad. They are such old prudes that they won’t understand these kinds of things.”
“Yes. I’m also an old prude, so I don’t get it either. Why would you spend thirty thousand to buy a bag? Are you very wealthy? You are just a student. You have no money and you actually went to borrow money. Do you even have a brain? If you bought the bag with your own money, that would be no problem. But you borrowed money with usury to buy a bag… What are you thinking?! And you’re only seventeen! What have you done to have actually… slept with men?”
Shen Youlan looked speechlessly at Shen Youran and said rather impatiently, “Sis, what era are we in now? Who cares about that anymore? I have many cla.s.smates who already had numerous boyfriends. Their boyfriends all buy bags for them. I’m not as lucky as you to be able to know Chen Yucheng. I’m not as lucky as Lin Che to be such a big shot. I can only borrow money with usury to buy my bags. What else can I do? I already told everyone that my sister is friends with Chen Yucheng and Lin Che. You are loaded while I still have to carry that rubbish-brand bag. It’s just not right.”
“You…”
Shen Youran was enraged once again.
But Shen Youlan didn’t seem to care at all. She looked at Lin Che enviously, “Sister Che, you always came over to play when you were young. Who would have thought that you’d become a big star now? You even had rumors with Gu Jingyu. Oh my G.o.d, I simply love Gu Jingyu too much. And I like you too, Sister Che. Can you see if there’s any possibility that I can act in some small role in your show? I actually really want to go into acting.”
“Get lost, Shen Youlan. Stop daydreaming and think about your confinement at home tomorrow and how you’re going to repay that 150,000!”
“What? I still need to repay it?” Shen Youlan said depressingly. “They are so rich that they can simply drop it. It’s only 150,000. It’s nothing to them. Is a friend of yours not worth 150,000?”
“We are friends and they have more than us, but that is their money. I won’t take their money for granted just because they have more money than me. The same goes for you. You can’t think that way!”
Just then, Chen Yucheng walked in from behind and looked at Shen Youran. “Alright, if there’s nothing, we should go. There are visiting hours and we should let her rest first.”
Lin Che also said, “Yeah, let’s go.”
Shen Youlan was still looking at Lin Che and wanted to say something. However, Shen Youran glared at her.
Shen Youlan angrily watched them leave. She sat there and continued using her phone. She even took a sneak shot of Lin Che and posted it on her Weibo to show off, saying that she saw Lin Che and she even knew her since they were young.
People mocked her and said, “Didn’t you already say that your sister is friends with Lin Che? You claim that she’s even close to Chen Yucheng but we’ve never seen you out with them.”
Shen Youlan was burning up inside. It was a pity that she wasn’t as lucky as her sister and knew someone who would become a big shot in the future. She naturally also couldn’t have known that Lin Che would one day become so capable.
If it wasn’t for Lin Che, how could her sister get to know someone like Chen Yucheng?
When Lin Che and the others went out, Chen Yucheng said, “There are many things that are out of your control. She is now at the age where her mind is dominated by hormones. Anything you say is useless. It’s as if she is running on adrenaline and her brain is always in an excited state. She takes things that should be thought about for granted, but outsiders can immediately tell that it’s wrong. However, it’s no use to advise her. She can only rely on herself to come out of this.”
Shen Youran could only nod her head, “I just didn’t expect her to already pursue branded or luxury goods now. Forget it. I know this sister of mine has been spoiled rotten since she was young. Even if my parents regret it, there’s n.o.body else to blame. Even if she regrets in the future, there’s also n.o.body else to blame.”
The three of them decided to eat together.
While on the road, Gu Jingze called to check in on them.
He had actually already asked his men and knew that it was already settled. However, he still wanted to call.
Lin Che quickly ate and hurried home.
Shen Youran looked at Chen Yucheng and said, “These two are really getting close recently. Don’t tell me they’re taking it seriously?”
“It has definitely already been serious. But in the end, whether or not they really… Who knows?”
Shen Youran still didn’t quite understand his words when Chen Yucheng interrupted her, “Alright. Let’s go back to the office.”
“Okay. Thank you for today,” Shen Youran looked at Chen Yucheng and said.
“Yes, if you’re really grateful,” he turned his head. “The translation of all the doc.u.ments today will be yours.”
“…”
He was really such an exploiter, taking full advantage of this.

At the Gu residence.
Lin Che told Gu Jingze everything that happened.
In the study room, Gu Jingze sat behind the desk and read a book while listening to Lin Che ramble nonstop.
Lin Che said, “Who would have thought that Chen Yucheng would be so close to Youran?”
Gu Jingze replied, “Indeed. He actually has a very weird personality. He’s not easy to get close to.”
“Really? I thought that he was rather alright?” Every time Lin Che met him, he was always very warm to her.
Gu Jingze said, “He’s a world-renowned psychological expert and also an expert on mental illness. His predecessors were models of the medical profession. He is extremely prideful and also has a weird character. He never really liked to interact with people. When I first told him about my special illness, I said that it was both mental and physical. It was more challenging and unique, and that’s only why he agreed to it. Otherwise, he actually wouldn’t care about his remuneration.”
“I see. I thought he was very easy to get close to,” Lin Che said in surprise.
Gu Jingze looked at her and said, “He is not a bad person and if you really get close to him, he will treat you well. It’s just not that easy to really get close to him. That’s why I’m also very surprised that he is now so close to your friend.”
“Yes, but they are working together now. So I guess it’s only natural.”
“Indeed. As his a.s.sistant?”
“That’s right.”
“Oh, then that’s even more surprising,” he remarked.
