Caicai’s mother looked at him before looking at her child . For some reason, she felt angry .
She snickered and said to her child, “Look, other children even know how to read . Every time I teach you, you’re always making excuses . Look at how neatly he’s dressed . And look at your clothes . You change every day, but it’s still so dirty . ”
Caicai’s grievance was plain on his face . He mumbled, “Look at how pretty his mother is…”
“What did you say?” Caicai’s mother’s face turned green . “Say that again?”
“Wa, I didn’t say anything at all…” Caicai was so scared that he suddenly erupted into tears, immediately attracting a lot of attention from the people here .
However, by this time, Lin Che had already left with Gu Shinian without any other thoughts in her head .
But when they went into the car, Lin Che immediately looked at Gu Shinian and asked, “I haven’t asked you about how you learned to read . When did you learn on your own?”
Gu Shinian said, “I just learned it not long ago . ”
“You can recognize all the words?”
“I merely learned some simple words . Then, I extrapolated from there and was able to recognize other words . It’s about the same as English . After learning simple words, I was also able to deduce other meanings . ”
“…” Was that even possible? She did not even know these things…
Of course, she did not say anything . She did not even know .

Lin Che said, “So, now, you basically recognize all the words?”
“Yes . ”
“What about the computer science formulas?”
“I… I have a bit of interest in those . ”
Lin Che looked at this child and seriously wondered… were the genes of the Gu family that powerful? She immediately felt that it was unfair .
But at the same time, she also found it amazing .
She felt that he was way too intelligent .
Could it be that Gu Jingze was like this in his younger years too? Even now, Gu Jingze was so outstanding .
She found it logical after thinking about it too . She had yet to discover something that Gu Jingze did not know how to do . Perhaps it was because he had such a powerful brain, that he was able to learn so many things .
After helping Niannian to settle down, Lin Che received notice from back home, informing her that she was needed at the Gu residence . Everyone had prepared a banquet to celebrate Old Master’s recovery .
Gu Jingze had gone away on official business, so she had to go back alone .

But Lin Che felt a little uneasy at the fact that they had planned a banquet in Gu Jingze’s absence . She sat there and thought about it for some time before telling Dongzi, “Get everyone to go with me . Stay alert while we’re at the old residence . If there’s anything amiss, we’ll leave first . ”
Dongzi nodded . He knew that she intended for all the personal bodyguards and the capable assistants whom Gu Jingze had engaged to follow her there .
Lin Che pondered before continuing, “Remind the people here to be ready at all times to take over . If anything crops up on our end, it would be easier for the people here to take over anytime . ”
“Yes, Madam . ” Dongzi continued, “What are you worried about?”
“I’m pregnant right now . For the child’s sake, I have no choice but to consider all possibilities,” Lin Che said . “If I was alone, then everything would be fine . Even if something happened, I would be able to withstand a bit more too . But my body is weak now . If something goes wrong with the child, it will be too late for me to regret it, so it’s better to be a little more prepared . ”
Everyone said that one would become more resilient after becoming a mother . This was indeed the case . When she had been alone, whatever happened did not matter to her . She did not need to think too much either . But ever since she had become a mother, she immediately became much more intelligent when it came to issues concerning her child .
Lin Che tidied up for a bit before rushing over to the old residence .
Meanwhile, all preparations were complete at the old residence . Lin Che was still in the car when Yu Minmin told her that she was on her way there too . Because Gu Jingze was not around, Gu Jingming decided to get Yu Minmin to accompany Lin Che there .
Lin Che was very grateful to Gu Jingming for thinking on her behalf at this time . In reality, the brotherly relationship he had with Gu Jingze was stronger than everyone else thought . A relationship like this was truly very rare .
After meeting with Lin Che, Yu Minmin got into Lin Che’s car and they headed to the old residence together . They were seated in the car together when Yu Minmin asked, “Do you know that Xue Mengqi? She’s bringing people with her today . ”
Of course, Lin Che was not aware . “She’s bringing people with her?”
Yu Minmin said, “It seems like you didn’t get the news . But they won’t inform you either . They definitely wouldn’t want you to know about matters involving Xue Mengqi . ”

“Precisely . Now, everyone knows that Xue Mengqi is going to compete with me for the position of the Gu family mistress . ”
Yu Minmin said, “That’s right . But everyone still doesn’t dare to provoke you too much . After all, you’re pregnant right now . They’re worried that something bad will happen to you after being provoked here . If that happens, Gu Jingze will definitely fight them to death . ”
“Well then, what lousy idea has Xue Mengqi come up with again this time? What is she planning to do?”
“I heard that she brought her boyfriend here . She said that she’s planning to settle down and start her career in the country . ”
Lin Che asked, “What does she mean by that? Is she making clear her intention not to leave the country?”
“That’s right . She made it clear that she’s planning to settle down . Once her situation is stable, she will be ready to be the mistress . Furthermore, to make her intentions seem innocent, she will choose a husband who has a bit of family background but who definitely won’t be able to go up against the Gu family . ”
Lin Che asked, “So, is she going to bring him over today?”
“Correct . She brought him there and said that she wanted everyone to help assess him . But what is there to assess? She just wants everyone to see if this person fits the bill or not . ”
“Alright then . I find it very strange though . How did these people manage to make this happen? The entire process seems to be very complicated . ”
“It does . Matters in wealthy families will definitely be more complex . What’s more, a prominent wealthy family like the Gu family . ”
Lin Che also knew that the situation would be more complicated . But it was her first time being personally involved in it . When she witnessed firsthand these people making cheap tricks in secret, fighting openly, and maneuvering covertly to vie for a position that she did not think was that important, she did not know how she felt either . She found it a bit strange and felt that she had a great burden on her shoulders . It seemed as if a small movement from her would impact the fates of many people . She did not feel as if these people were characters on television, but the fates of real people in real life .
Meanwhile, at the old Gu residence…
Everyone already knew that Xue Mengqi was planning to bring her boyfriend here . As for what kind of person her boyfriend was, they were not sure yet . But there were probably no issues with someone chosen by Xue Mengqi .
“I heard that he’s quite young . ”
“But it would be easier to control someone young and not that mature . ”
“True . His family background is not bad too . His family has been doing pretty well over the past few years . Now, the family has already built a construction company . This child is only in his twenties and is already the Chief Executive Officer of the company . Since he’s able to run the entire company on his own, he’s most likely a talented young man . ”
“We’ll know once we see him today . ”
Just when everyone was praising him, a car had already been directed to the car park in the outer courtyard of the old Gu residence .
