Yes, it was true that she had not told Gu Jingyu.
Initially, it was because Gu Jingze had told her that she did not need to tell him. Later on, there had been a few occasions when she herself had wanted to tell him, but she had not gotten a chance to do so.
It had gotten to the point where she would find it slightly difficult to bring the matter up.
Lu Chuxia said, "I didn't expect you to be this shameless. On one hand, you married the older brother. On the other, you even hid this fact from the younger brother and have a rumored romance with him. How thick is your skin? Does Jingze know how shameless you are?"
Hearing this, Yu Minmin looked at Lu Chuxia and defended Lin Che, "Can you not speak with such a foul mouth? Who are you calling shameless? How can you spout such nonsense?"
Lu Chuxia looked at Yu Minmin. "Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me like this?"
Yu Minmin retorted, "Who do you think you are, speaking in this manner? Why are you still asking me the same question?"
"You..." Lu Chuxia said angrily, "Lin Che, how exactly do you supervise the people under you?"
Lin Che looked at Lu Chuxia. "The issue you're talking about is between me and you. Just tell me frankly what exactly you're trying to do. Just get straight to the point."
Lin Che thought to herself, Neither Lu Chuxia nor any outsider knew about the agreement between her and Gu Jingze.
Back then, she had not told Gu Jingyu because she had been uncertain about when they would get a divorce. She had seen no need to tell him since this was a contractual marriage. Who knew that so many things would happen from then to now? Until today, they remained husband and wife and had even done so many things that married couples would do.
Lu Chuxia said, "So you want me to tell you straight up? Fine. I want you to leave Gu Jingze for a period of time."
"What?" Lin Che found this request inconceivable.
Naturally, Lu Chuxia knew that Lin Che was not a fool either. If she told Lin Che to leave Gu Jingze altogether, Lin Che would definitely not agree to it. That was why she told Lin Che to leave him for a period of time.
Without Lin Che's obstruction from within, she could undoubtedly get on well with Gu Jingze for the time being. She just needed some time.
Lu Chuxia continued, "What do you think? Consider it carefully and tell me."
Lin Che replied, "Hehe. You want me to leave him for some time? What if I refuse?"
Lu Chuxia's face hardened immediately. "If you refuse, I'll tell Gu Jingyu about all the things you've done. I'll tell him that you actually deceived him. I'll tell him that you're Gu Jingze's lawfully-wedded wife right now and that you're his sister-in-law. We'll see how bad Gu Jingyu's temper can get and how he'll deal with you."
Lin Che scoffed. "That's it?"
Lu Chuxia nodded. "Yes. That's it. Why? Do you agree?"
Lin Che did indeed feel that telling Gu Jingyu was a troublesome matter. She had not even thought of a way to reveal the truth to him.
But could she leave Gu Jingze for a period of time?
Beside her, Yu Minmin looked at Lin Che. At a time like this, it was inappropriate for her to make the decision for Lin Che. Thus, she stayed at the side and gazed at Lin Che quietly.
Lin Che smiled coldly. "What do you mean when you say a period of time?"
"How about a month?" Lu Chuxia continued, "It's worth it, right? You won't lose anything either." Lin Che's smile turned even colder as she said, "You've really planned this out properly to attain your goal."
Lu Chuxia responded, "You're the one who made a mistake in the first place. I'm merely using it against you. So you only have yourself to blame."
Lin Che said, "Then, what if I don't agree?"
"You won't agree?" Lu Chuxia had obviously not expected Lin Che to refuse.
She had thought that Lin Che definitely had some objective in mind seeing as she had intentionally deceived Gu Jingyu. Even though she did not know what Lin Che was planning, Lin Che would probably not easily allow the truth to be revealed to Gu Jingyu in order to attain her objective.
However, Lin Che merely said, "That's right. I refuse. You've miscalculated."
When Lu Chuxia heard this, she glared furiously at Lin Che. "Lin Che, This is the last chance I'm giving you. It's best for you to seize the opportunity. Whether to agree or not, you decide yourself."
