Lin Che heard this and immediately thought of Mo Huiling.
"Are... Are you talking about Miss Mo?"
Gu Jingze only ever had one girlfriend in the past. If it wasn't Mo Huiling, who else could it be?
Gu Jingyan saw Lin Che mention Mo Huiling so graciously without looking affected at all. She smiled and answered, "Yeah. When Second Brother was with Mo Huiling, he never accompanied her like this. Don't even mention accompanying her; the two would sit together so squarely like a pair of wooden blocks. They didn't move even just a little bit."
"Really? I suppose so. Gu Jingze is so old-fashioned while Miss Mo is a wealthy family's daughter. She's not as noisy as me. So when they're together, it must be because they have to appear so elegant that they end up being boring."
Gu Jingyan said, "Who knows? Anyway, Second Brother will never look after her or feed her because he never sat and chatted with her for that long. Second Brother actually never liked chatting with others."
Lin Che listened in puzzlement, "Is that so? He's a man of few words. He was like that when we got together at first but it became better after we got closer."
Gu Jingyan laughed and shook her head, "See? It's because Second Brother is with you. That's why he is more talkative. You have no idea what outsiders say about him. They call him the Demon King of Ice. As long as you don't agree with him, he'll stare at you coldly and that stare can kill someone. Who would dare to talk to him?"
Just then, Gu Jingze returned. As he walked over, he looked at Gu Jingyan, "Are you talking bad about me?"
Gu Jingyan said, "No, I'm putting in good words for you."
She winked at Lin Che.
Lin Che laughed and said, "Yes. She's talking about how strict you are and how everyone is afraid of you."
Gu Jingyan heard Lin Che's words and almost burst out laughing.
Worried that she would give herself away, Lin Che quickly said, "Well, Jingyan, which university did you study at?"
Gu Jingyan said, "I'm at the University of Pennsylvania studying business and business administration."
Lin Che blinked, "Wow, that sounds great."
Gu Jingze replied, "Yeah. Do you think everyone is a blockhead like you? That's the top business school in the U.S. It's not easy to get in there."
"Idiot, why are you insulting me for no reason?" However, Lin Che was filled with admiration. The Gu family's genes were so good; each one was more capable than the previous.
Lin Che said, "Jingyan, you're so smart. You're more capable than your Second Brother."
Gu Jingyan smiled and looked at Gu Jingze, "I'm only better in academics. Second Brother has a lot more experience in the real battlefield and he has a Ph.D. in several professional fields. I can't compare to him."
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze who was smiling proudly. Lin Che glared at him and then said to Gu Jingyan, "Jingyan, there must be a lot of people chasing after you when you're in school. You're so pretty and smart."
Gu Jingyan said, "Not really..."
Gu Jingze said, "Alright, you don't have to act humble in front of Lin Che." He lowered his head and said to Lin Che, "She's indeed very capable and she has no lack of suitors in school. She's the campus belle and the school's top scholar. She's a legend among the high schools in C Nation but it's a pity."
He looked at Gu Jingyan, "You made it all too cheap for that Lu family's kid. Right, why isn't he here yet?"
Gu Jingyan looked at her wristwatch and said, "I'll ask in a bit."
She got up, smiled, and left. Lin Che looked at her back as she left and asked Gu Jingze, "Is Jingyan going to get married?"
Gu Jingze nodded, "That's right."
Lin Che asked, "You don't like the guy?"
She could tell that Gu Jingze didn't look pleased.
