The next day.
Lin Che took the stairs down to the dining room and saw the table filled with tonics.
She sat down and thought to herself that they had actually made a pretty huge scene yesterday. She wondered if everyone knew about her injury.
When she recalled what had happened, her face flushed slightly red. She looked down at the food on the table. There was soup to enrich the blood, soup to replenish essential fluids, bone soup, meat soup, mushroom soup... it was really...
From beside her, the maid said, "Madam, drink more. When you leave later, you can bring some along with you too."
Lin Che said in disbelief, "How can I possibly finish so much soup? All of you really put in too much effort. Actually, I'm fine."
The maid smiled and said, "All of this was prepared because of Sir's special instructions this morning. He even told us to ask Madam to drink more for breakfast and take some to go as well. Sir is really attentive towards Madam.
Gu Jingze?
When Lin Che heard that name, she lowered her head. She picked up a spoon and helped herself to the soup. However, she considerably felt that there was not a lot of taste.
The maid continued looking at Lin Che and was temporarily at a slight loss for words.
She could only say from the side, "Madam, Sir's attentiveness towards you is really indubitable. Please don't be too angry with Sir as well. Without Madam by his side, Sir is not even happy. He just looks so pitiful."
Ha, he could be pitiful?
Lin Che said, "It's alright. Without me as an obstruction, there are plenty of women who will cajole him."
"Madam, please don't say that. Sir really only has Madam. As for other people, Sir won't even spare them a glance."
"That's enough. He's your master. Of course, you'll speak in his favor. This master of yours really won't spare other people a glance? Then, he didn't look at Miss Lu Chuxia too?"
"..." The maids looked at each other at the side but were momentarily a little speechless.
After Lin Che ate her fill, the maids then hastily served her a wet towel to wipe her mouth and said, "Madam, Sir is indebted to Miss Lu for saving his life. There's nothing else between them. That's the only reason why Sir is lenient towards Miss Lu and gives her more special treatment. If not for that, Sir would not look Miss Lu's way at all."
"Precisely. Sir and Miss Lu have known each other for such a long time too. If there was something between them, it would have started a long time ago."
Lin Che said, "That's because your master already had Miss Mo."
Lin Che sighed and sat there saying, "Furthermore, if not for your master's illness... why would your master have married me? No matter what, he would probably have gotten together with a woman like Lu Chuxia..."
The maids exchanged glances amongst themselves and were even more uncertain about what to say in response.
Lin Che looked at the few of them. "Alright, let's stop talking. What's the point of telling you this? I'll go to work first."
The maids could only watch Lin Che leave and did not speak another word.
The film set.
When Lin Che arrived, Song Shuhai was unexpectedly very polite to her. She nodded at her and smiled saying, "You're here. By the way, what happened at home yesterday? Why did you take time off?" Lin Che smiled. "I went to attend a wedding."
Song Shuhai nodded when she heard this. "Yesterday was an auspicious day on the Chinese calendar. So many people got married. Look! The Gu family's darling daughter also chose that day to get married, so it was clear that it was definitely an auspicious day."
Upon hearing this, Lin Che could only laugh dryly and say, "Yes, yes."
"Both you and Jingyu took time off yesterday, so I was actually extremely bored on the film set alone yesterday."
"Am I not back here today? Whatever Sister Shuhai wants to do today, I'll accompany you."
"Great. Let's have some barbecued skewers later."
