When Lin Che returned home from the office, Gu Jingze was still busy and did not come back.
Apparently, the company got busier the closer it got to the end of the year.
There was no time for rest at all.
Lin Che watched the TV at home and saw the final rehearsal of Spring Night. Qin Wanwan was on the screen. This made Qin Wanwan who was quiet for a few days become the center of attention again.
In a sea of old faces, of course a fresh face would stand out.
The news, probably issued by Qin Wanwan's team, was singing high praises of her, saying that she might soon be on the frontline.
After that, it was Lin Che's company's Xin Xiaoyuan who also took part in Spring Night.
During her interview, she kept saying that she participated in Spring Night a few times but she still felt very honored. Knowing that she was from the same company as Lin Che, the reporter asked what she thought about her company's younger generation, especially Lin Che. Xin Xiaoyuan grabbed the opportunity and immediately said, "Oh, I only know that she's pretty good with Gu Jingyu. Gu Jingyu takes care of them, so she shouldn't be bad. They have a good relationship in private but she recently took leave and is not participating in any spring activities. I don't know why she suddenly decided to leave. Maybe something happened with her body."
Originally, there wasn't a lot to think about from those words. But soon after that interview, people started speculating online, saying that Lin Che hadn't come out for a few days. They wondered if she was pregnant and was resting at home.
Lin Che wanted to curse and swear.
The information from a verified Weibo account said that someone revealed that Lin Che was indeed taking a break and had pushed back all her activities. The company's big sister also confirmed that she took leave.
The verified account even hinted at a speculation. Whose child was it?
Among all the partners she worked with, one of them was Gu Jingyu.
One of them, which everybody knew she had the closest relationship with, was Gu Jingyu.
Thus, within half the day, everybody began to speculate whether Lin Che was carrying Gu Jingyu's child. What the Hell?
Couldn't a person just take a break?
Yu Minmin also very quickly called up Lin Che. Although she was on break, Yu Minmin was not. She didn't take any leave either and was still working at the company.
Lin Che said, "What exactly are these people doing? How come I'm suddenly pregnant?"
Yu Minmin said, "We've already declared that you're not pregnant. This must be intentionally caused by that Xin Xiaoyuan. She wanted to taint your reputation by implying that you and Gu Jingyu have some shady relationship, an underground affair of some sort."
Indeed, she saw many people say that she was carrying Gu Jingyu's illegitimate child on purpose. She relied on Gu Jingyu to climb up and now wanted to cling on to him so badly that she even wanted to give him a child...
"Now, I'm someone who betrayed myself for fame?" Lin Che said speechlessly.
Yu Minmin was also speechless, "Alright, go do whatever you were doing. You must be busy with matters of the Gu family. You can come out in the afternoon and we can show everyone that you're fine with no big tummy. Remember not to wear that down jacket of yours. Otherwise, people might say that you're using it to hide your belly. Wear something more revealing today." Lin Che only pursed her lips and agreed.
When she went out, she specially wore pretty and body-hugging clothes. She had to strut around on the streets with no outerwear in the cold weather. She was really torturing herself.
Lin Che silently cursed at that Xin Xiaoyuan. She thought about those words she said to Xin Xiaoyuan during the annual meeting, which must have made Xin Xiaoyuan hate her.
