Lin Che laughed awkwardly as she felt exposed.
Gu Jingze turned back to look at Lin Che and said, “Alright. We’ll be there at night.”
Lin Che and Gu Jingze went to Lu Qinyu’s villa at night.
Lu Qinyu looked at Lin Che and congratulated her, “Congratulations, Little Che! I heard that you performed wonderfully. It’s a pity that I didn’t go to watch. However, it’s natural that you managed to gain everyone’s acknowledgment.”
Lin Che smile and thanked him.
She saw that Gu Jingyan was also there.
Looking at Lin Che, she smiled and said, “I only managed to come here after I finished my work the past couple of days. In the end, the competition is already over.”
Lu Qinyu said, “Next time, just let Beichen handle all these things. The company is run by both of you. You don’t have to be so stubborn. Leave some things to Beichen. Isn’t it good to spend more time outside?”
Gu Jingyan smiled. “I think so too, but we divided our work. I do my part a bit slower and I have no way of leaving halfway. Furthermore, I’ve already heard that Lin Che and Chuxia dominated these few days. Other socialites were all interested in participating too, so I decided not to join in.”
She continued, “I cannot win my sister-in-law anyway, right?”
Lin Che blushed and asked, “How can that be? These are just clever tricks. People like you who run a company are the smart ones. It’s a pity that I don’t know how.”
Lin Che stuck out her tongue.
Gu Jingyan said, “With Second Brother around, there’s no need to think so much. Right, Second Brother? You will always have sister-in-law’s back and protect her.”
Lu Qinyu let the attendants prepare and let the group of young people sit down for a chat.
Lu Beichen said, “I saw Chuxia leave crying in the morning. I think she must be gravely affected this time.”
Lin Che said sheepishly, “I’m sorry. We were being so childish at that point. That was why we had such a bet.”
Lu Beichen replied, “It’s alright. She is too used to being so arrogant. It’s good to teach her a little lesson so that she will know that however strong she is, there’ll be someone stronger than her out there.”
Gu Jingyan said, “Also, Sister-in-law, you are indeed capable. This competition was very fair and you didn’t win because of whom you were with. You made all these high and mighty wealthy playboys take a liking to you and admire you. Clearly, you deserve to do it.”
Gu Jingyan looked at Lu Beichen. “Your Chuxia is usually too much. Everything else is fine, but the way she treats my sister-in-law is really overboard. It’s no use saying it. I’m not going to talk to her again this time. She should be able to learn from this lesson herself.”
Lu Beichen said, “I didn’t ask you to talk to her.”
“Yes, but since I’m married into your family, I should carry out my duties, unlike someone who doesn’t know his responsibilities after marriage.”
Lu Beichen looked at her. “Tell me directly if you want to. What’s the point of beating about the bush? There are no outsiders here, so what are you afraid of?”
“This is called beating about the bush? I believe I’ve been direct enough.”
Lin Che quickly looked at Gu Jingze. She didn’t know what to do.
How did they start to quarrel?
Gu Jingze received the cue from Lin Che. He raised his brow and got up, pulling Lin Che together with him. He said, “Alright, we’re going out for a walk. It’s too stuffy in this room.”
Lin Che nodded. She looked back at the couple and then hastily left.
Only the two of them were left in the room. Lu Beichen stood up. “That’s just great. You let your brother witness our perfect marriage this time.”
“Did you think that a clever person like him wouldn’t already have known?”
Lu Beichen stood up and walked towards the door.
Gu Jingyan also stood up. It was bad timing as she bumped into a maid who was bringing some things to them.
The tea spilled all over Gu Jingyan and she shouted in pain.
