For the sake of a free ride home, Shen Youran decided not to pick a fight with him. She humbly got in the car and soon reached home.
When she alighted, Shen Youran then pulled a face at Chen Yucheng and said, "Being a lackey may give you a car and money, but you still had to send me back. Heh heh heh."
She immediately ran inside.
"You..." Chen Yucheng could not chase after her in time. He could only watch her run into the lobby and shut the gate forcefully.
Sitting in the car, he mumbled, "What a fast runner."
Shen Youran entered and immediately was pressed by her own mother.
"Ah! You scared me, Mom," Shen Youran exclaimed.
Her mother pulled her towards the window and pointed down at the car that just drove off. She asked, "Who just sent you home?"
Behind her mother, her sister Shen Youlan chimed in, "Yeah, Sis. Who was that? Why did that person send you home? I saw that the car was a Porsche too. When did you get to know such a big shot? Why didn't you tell us?" Shen Youran looked at her own mother and sister speechlessly, "It's just a friend sending me back."
"You're not dating?"
"Of course not," she and Chen Yucheng dating? She must be mad.
Disappointed, her mother let her go, "I knew it. A rich person like that won't fancy you. You'd better go for matchmaking."
On the other hand, Shen Youlan jumped around and said, "Sis, since that's not your boyfriend... You can introduce me. If you can't handle him, I can give it a try."
"Exactly. Does he have a girlfriend? If he doesn't, you can introduce your sister. She's twenty years old already; she can date. Partners must be found early or otherwise, all the good ones will get snatched up."
"He has plenty of women. You guys can give up on that thought," Shen Youran could not stand the money-grubbing mother and daughter pair anymore. She quickly went into her own room and remembered that she still needed to prepare a gift for that silly Lin Che the next day. She excitedly turned on her computer...
On the other side.
Gu Jingze brought Lin Che home. When they entered the house, he made everybody leave and singlehandedly brought her into the bedroom. He laid Lin Che on the bed and took a wet towel to wipe her face.
He looked at Lin Che's face which was all red from drinking. Seeing that she wasn't noticing, Gu Jingze bent down and kissed her forehead. Then, he thought of how this woman actually went out to drink by herself. He got angry and knocked her head.
Lin Che winced and woke up. She opened her eyes and upon seeing Gu Jingze, she frowned and pushed him away.
Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che in puzzlement, "Are you playing drunk with me again?!"
"Bad person. I don't want you coming over!" Lin Che said.
Gu Jingze's face darkened, "How am I bad?!"
Lin Che said, "You're just a bad person. You're always bullying me!"
Gu Jingze thought, If she said that, then he would always want to bully her. He patiently replied, "Silly, that's not bullying. That's me adoring you."
Lin Che was still in a daze and did not really hear what he said. She pushed him with all her drunken might as if she was venting her unhappiness, "Let go of me, get out. I don't want to be with you."
"Alright, Lin Che. What's wrong?"
