Lu Chuxia said, "Really? I've been coming here more often, especially recently."
She spoke as she intentionally glanced at Gu Jingze.
In front of so many people, Lu Chuxia couldn't say too much. She glanced at him and shifted her eyes away.
Mu Wanqing said behind, "Alright, alright. Let's not stand here and talk. We can go in and chat some more."
They filed in and Gu Jingze said plainly to Lin Che, "Sit wherever you like. You can keep my mother company. I'm going to see Grandfather."
"Yeah, okay," Lin Che waved at Gu Jingze and left him to his own matters.
Gu Jingyan saw Gu Jingze leave. She thought for a while and followed behind.
Gu Jingze walked along the corridor to Gu Xiande's room.
Grandpa Gu was already living a secluded life and it was rare to see him at home. However, he still needed to greet him every time he came here as a formality.
Gu Jingyan looked at Gu Jingze and called out, "Second Brother.
Gu Jingze turned around, "What's the matter?"
"Nothing," Gu Jingyan caught up to him and said. "Has Chuxia been pestering you recently?"
"It's no bother," Gu Jingze replied. "She can do whatever she pleases."
"I've already advised her but she refused to listen. I thought about it too. It's best to leave this kind of stubborn person to her own devices. Once she gets hurt, she'll stop."
Gu Jingze replied, "Yeah."
"But if Sister-in-law knows about it... Won't she get unhappy?"
"I didn't tell her," Gu Jingze said.
"Why?" Gu Jingyan looked up and asked.
Gu Jingze replied, "It's not necessary."
Gu Jingyan paused and then nodded understandingly. He made sense. Since there wasn't going to be any fruition, there was no need to tell Lin Che and make matters worse.
Gu Jingyan said, "Alright, then I'll go first. Go on and see Grandfather, Second Brother."
"Okay."
Gu Jingyan always knew that Gu Jingze was a man of few words. She looked speechlessly at Gu Jingze and said, "Sister-in-law is rather pitiful. She has to be with you and you hardly talk. You're so boring. Sigh..." Gu Jingze frowned, "Just mind your own business!"
Gu Jingyan huffed and left.
Lin Che also did not disturb Mu Wanqing. She knew that Mu Wanqing usually looked carefree, but she was definitely busy taking care of such a big family.
Lin Che looked around the yard, watered the flowers, and tidied up some things at the side.
A maid saw Lin Che even plucking the weeds, hurriedly went over, and said, "Young Madam, please put that down. I'll do it. You shouldn't be doing such rough work."
Lin Che smiled and said, "I have nothing to do and I saw that these flowers were pretty, so I decided to do something."
The maid smiled and looked at Lin Che, "Young Madam, if Second Young Master sees this, he will definitely scold us. Second Young Master treats Young Madam so well that he won't bear for you to do such things."
