They arrived at Shen Youran's house and she was about to get out of the car when she thought of something. She looked up and asked, "Gu Jingze's situation looks very dangerous. Will Lin Che be in danger too because she's with Gu Jingze?"
Chen Yucheng said, "Gu Jingze's life was always this dangerous. Did you think that the security personnel around him was there for decoration?"
"You're right. He has so many bodyguards around him." Previously, Shen Youran had thought that they were merely there for show; why were there so many people at Gu Jingze's side when no ill had befallen him at all? She had thought that those people were just there to block nosy reporters, media outlets, or everyday people. She did not expect these people to actually be of use today.
Chen Yucheng said, "It's not the first or second time that Gu Jingze's life has been in peril anyway. But this time, the incident was more severe than usual and all the media outlets discovered it. That's because the person who died was M Nation's special envoy and a bombing even took place that killed so many security personnel on the spot."
When Shen Youran heard this, she asked perplexedly, "So, Gu Jingze actually even encountered incidents like this one before?"
"Yes. In the past, he was the target of a shooting incident, a car accident, and many other assassination attempts. Of course, none were successful. I remember that one time, it was the Lu family's darling daughter Lu Chuxia who came forward to save his life. That's why the Gu family has always taken pretty good care of Lu Chuxia even until now. The Old Master is also fond of her."
"Lu Chuxia. Ah, I know her. A while ago, they were saying that she had something going on with Gu Jingze. There is seriously no such thing as a good man. Is he planning to repay the favor by being in a relationship with her? If so, why did he marry Lin Che back then?"
"Are you a fool? What relationship does he have with her? It's obviously just media speculation. Recently,
Mo Huiling has become much more well-behaved and has probably given up. Since the media couldn't photograph them together anymore, they thought that Gu Jingze was in a relationship with someone else. But Lu Chuxia is indeed a very formidable woman. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to maintain her reputation as the number one socialite in C Nation for so many years. She's really good at winning the favor of others."
"Hmph. I don't think she's a match for our Lin Che in terms of appearance either. She still wants to compete with Lin Che even though she's inferior to our Lin Che in every way."
"Her family background is better than Lin Che's. You may not be familiar with the Lu family, but you're definitely aware of ATL Mall, right? It's a major location in nearly every city. This mall belongs to the Lu family."
"..." Shen Youran said angrily, "I'll never buy anything from that mall ever again!"
"Their family doesn't need a customer like you either."
Hearing this, Shen Youran became even more incensed and stuck her tongue out at him. "All crows in this world are equally black, just as all men are equally bad."
She ran off after she finished speaking...
When Shen Youran entered the house, her younger sister ran up to her and said, "Older Sister, I did some research. Your boss is Chen Yucheng, right?"
"Yes. Why?"
"It's nothing. Did you know that he's actually part of the influential family of doctors that left the country during the revolt back in the day? According to rumors, their family is very impressive and very wealthy. The entire family took up permanent residence in Texas. Look, look. There's news about his family here. It states that his family has a house in Texas that's like a huge castle." Shen Youran looked at Shen Youlan. "Just say exactly what you want to say."
"Older Sister, if you don't properly grasp this person, where else will you be able to find such a good man in the future?"
"Hey, you should sober up." Shen Youran continued, "What's so special about me that would make me appealing to men?"
"That's true too." Shen Youlan looked at her before suddenly moving closer to her again. "But you can introduce me to your boss. There's nothing special about you, but I'm special. Since I was young, I was more beautiful, more talented, and more charming than you as well."
"It'd be better for you to dispel that notion as soon as possible. There's no way he would even spare you a glance. Furthermore, he's not at all as approachable as you think he is." Shen Youran shook her head, pulled the door open, and went into her room.
In a fit of anger, Shen Youlan went to complain to her mother. "Mother, look. Youran's just a lackey but she started to look down on me now. Hmph."
