Lin Che looked at Gu Xiande. She felt that this old man had fought hard and long all his life. It was as if he fought all the way into his own dead end.
She suddenly felt pity. Everyone was afraid of him, but nobody thought that he was actually an old man too.
To this day, those clan relatives still regarded him as a highly respected elder. At the same time, this prestige did not do him any good. Instead, it was like a tool that brought them benefits.
She smiled. "Grandpa, do people have complicated intentions, or are you the one who thinks that people have complicated intentions and that is why they are complicated? Im a very simple person with simple thoughts. All I want is to try and make everyones lives happy. If everyone I help in the Gu family is satisfied, that is enough for me. Otherwise, what else can I do?"
Gu Xiande froze.
Lin Che smiled. "Ill make a move, Grandpa. Rest well."
Lin Che lowered her head, bowed, and walked out. She looked at the people outside and continued walking out calmly.
Inside, Gu Xiande felt uneasy.
He did not call for anyone. He sat in his empty room, digesting her words.
Was it all his own thinking?
"Grandfather." Just then, someone entered.
It was Xue Mengqi.
She looked at Gu Xiande. "Why isnt there anyone outside, Grandfather?"
She had just heard that the old man actually called for Lin Che here alone.
Xue Mengqi was naturally unhappy. She quickly rushed over to take a look and see what the old man wanted to do.
Was he planning to compromise on account that he was dying?
That was a big deal for the other relatives.
Gu Xiande replied, "Oh, I made them leave."
If he had not made those people retreat, Xue Mengqi wouldnt have been able to come in so easily either.
Xue Mengqi asked, "Grandfather, did Lin Che drop by just now?"
"Oh, yes."
"Did something happen?"
Gu Xiande turned to her. "Why? I just wanted to see her. Do I have to report everything to you now?"
Xue Mengqi paused.
Gu Xiandes eyes were sharp. He was older and his eyes were less clear, but his gaze still showed the majesty of an elder. It was still chilling.
This old man was a butcher with bloodstained hands when he was young. He used his power and influence to kill countless people.
In comparison, Xue Mengqi was still raw.
Xue Mengqi was naturally still afraid of him. Although he had less power in his hands now, his aura itself was enough to instill fear.
"Thats not what I meant"
"Then leave."
Xue Mengqi did not expect her brief visit to make him unhappy.
No, he could not possibly be unhappy on his own. It must have been something that Lin Che said.
Xue Mengqi grew more nervous. "Is something the matter? Have you forgotten that you are standing on the same side as us clan relatives?"
Gu Xiande laughed. "What do you mean?"
"What Im saying is that no matter what Lin Che said, I hope you understand that our motive remains the same."
Gu Xiande said, "Mengqi, you are too anxious and that is also your shortcoming."
"Im anxious?" Xue Mengqi looked at Gu Xiande and could not help but feel agitated.
If Gu Xiande stood on Lin Ches side again, who would stand on her side?
Xue Mengqi said, "The Xue family is a clan relative of the Gu family. But in all these years, we have always been treated as outsiders. If there is one female descendant in the Gu family who is more hardworking and motivated than me, then I would not be Xue Mengqi."
