Lin Che smiled again. She probably was not familiar with such a distant relative. She said, "Im sorry. I married into the family, so I dont know as many relatives as the Gu master."
The girl revealed her white canine-like teeth. When she smiled, she looked friendly and it was a perfect smile revealing only eight perfect teeth.
"Im Xue Mengqi. You can call me Mengqi."
"Mengqi Hello."
She pointed inwards and said, "Cousin-in-law, Aunty is in there. You can go ahead if youre looking for her."
"Oh, okay. Thanks."
Lin Che replied politely, looked at her, and then walked in.
Behind her, everyone was still talking and laughing happily. It was as if they were all very familiar with this Xue Mengqi.
Before Lin Che went in, she heard someone announce that Sir was here.
Gu Jingze rushed here upon hearing the news. Nobody knew when he knew, but he immediately rushed here once he did.
Lin Che stopped and quickly turned behind.
Gu Jingze had already entered and immediately spotted Lin Che among the crowd. He made a beeline towards her.
Everyone saw that Gu Jingze was here and stood respectfully. Throughout this time, Gu Jingze had already established his unwavering power as the head of the family here. Especially now that Gu Xiande was ill and could pass away any time, his status was all the more indisputable.
Upon seeing Gu Jingze enter, Xue Mengqi also quickly stood up and looked in his direction. She said, "Cousin, youre here. Long time no see. I just got back and I know youre busy so I didnt visit you. I hope you dont mind."
Gu Jingze turned and glanced at Xue Mengqi.
However, he still quickly reached Lin Che and asked her, "Why didnt you tell me you were coming here?"
Lin Che said, "I just wanted to take a look. Its not a big deal."
Gu Jingze sighed with a helpless look in his eyes as if he was looking at a dummy. He took Lin Ches hand and made sure that she was following him. Then, he looked at Xue Mengqi at the side.
"Oh, Mengqi. Youre back."
Feeling ignored, Xue Mengqi looked slightly embarrassed, but she quickly resumed a poker face. She looked at Lin Che and Gu Jingze and said, "Yes. I thought you didnt recognize me anymore."
"How could I? Were all family. Why would I not recognize you?"
Xue Mengqi then smiled at Gu Jingze. She hadnt seen this cousin of hers and he seemed more handsome than ever now. The coldness in his eyes, the firm and mature aura and that amazingly handsome face never faded at all.
According to logic, many men would become fat after marriage. After having children, they would look more lethargic.
However, Gu Jingze looked just as dashing despite his age. It was as if all those years only made his face and body sexier. There didnt seem to be a single scar on him.
Good-looking people were naturally well-liked as anyone would want to like them. Thus, Xue Mengqi was very happy that her busy cousin still remembered her.
"I thought youd forgotten me." She walked sultrily towards him.
However, Gu Jingze avoided her as he tugged Lin Che along and said, "Alright, Ill leave you to talk. Lin Che isnt feeling well, so Im taking her to rest."
