Lin Che did not want to sit on a horse recommended by her, but Lu Chuxia passionately tugged at Lin Che’s hand . Lin Che didn’t know how to reject her at all .
As Lu Chuxia dragged Lin Che out, the people behind looked enviously at Lin Che, “Miss Chuxia is an excellent rider . Nothing can go wrong with Miss Chuxia’s recommendation . ”
This way, it seemed as if Lin Che wasn’t giving face to Lu Chuxia by rejecting her in front of so many people .
However, Lin Che really didn’t want to go with her .
At this moment, Gu Jingze suddenly came from behind and stopped Lin Che .
He pulled Lin Che to stand behind him as he looked at Lu Chuxia and said, “No need . I’ll pick a horse for her . ”
Lu Chuxia’s eyes flashed and she looked at Gu Jingze, “What’s the matter? Do you not trust me?”
“That’s right,” Gu Jingze said nonchalantly . He turned and pulled Lin Che away with him .
Everybody looked in shock at Gu Jingze’s tyranny .
He didn’t give face to Lu Chuxia at all .
But Lu Chuxia was at a complete loss too . She stood behind, unable to utter a single word and she could only watch as Gu Jingze take Lin Che away .
Lu Beichen watched and said to Lu Chuxia, “Well, he’s just like that . What can you do about it?”
The people behind who heard this began to talk among themselves . That was indeed Gu Jingze; he was always so straightforward .
However, this must have been terribly embarrassing for Lu Chuxia .
A few people couldn’t help but comfort her, “Miss Chuxia, forget about it . Let’s go over there and choose the horses ourselves . ”
Gu Jingze was really overbearing as he disregarded the Lu family . However, the Lu family seemed unable to take any action on him .
Lu Chuxia was rejected directly . She could only maintain her silence as she watched him walk away .
She really wanted to get angry too, but she knew that it would not solve any problems . It was undeniable that nothing could be done to Gu Jingze .
Lin Che let out a sigh of relief as she was taken away by Gu Jingze . She looked at the horse in front of her and said to Gu Jingze, “I don’t know how to ride a horse . What should I do…”
“It’s fine . I’ll be with you . There is a horse that I’ve raised here; we can ride on it together . He is stable enough to carry both of us . ”
“Wow, really? That’s great! Hehe, I was still afraid that I’d be a disgrace because I don’t know how to ride a horse . ”
“Knowing how silly you are, how could I let you disgrace yourself?” He gently tapped her nose and pulled her towards the stable .
The people behind saw Gu Jingze and Lin Che ride a horse together, strolling and strutting about . On one hand, they were really envious of watching those two riding a horse together . On the other hand, they thought that Gu Jingze was just too indifferent .
But who would have guessed that Gu Jingze’s personality was like this? Trying to talk to him was as hard as trying to ascend to the Heavens . Everyone was accustomed to his attitude and was therefore even more jealous of Lin Che who was on the horse with him . Looking at them laughing without a worry for the world, everyone was curious as to what abilities this woman had that allowed her to talk to Gu Jingze so happily with no effort at all .
Lu Chuxia watched from behind and started to feel extremely uncomfortable in her heart . She stopped riding immediately and went straight inside .
Lin Che and Gu Jingze only rode for a while . Gu Jingze was worried that riding the horse would be detrimental to Lin Che’s body, so he wanted to let her down to rest .
“There is no need . I want to ride for a bit longer . ”
“No . You only just got stitches . This would not be good . ” He said .
Lin Che stumbled and replied, “Please? That was so long ago . ”
“No means no . That area is specially made for me… You have to protect it for me,” he whispered softly in her ears .
“Get lost,” she stabbed him with her elbow .
The two of them laughed and got off the horse together, oblivious to the onlooking crowd around them .
They were all shocked at the fact that a lady in this world dared to jab Gu Jingze .
But Gu Jingze was not angry . Instead, he seemed to enjoy the jab and this made them even more alarmed .
When Lu Beichen came along and mentioned that Gu Jingyan was inside preparing afternoon tea, they went in . Lin Che was feeling bored, so she decided to go out for a walk . After locking eyes with Gu Jingze for a minute, she ran out smiling .
Outside, the horse ranch’s air was extremely refreshing . One could see the mountain range from far away . It was very rejuvenating to get some sunlight after staying in for so long .
At this moment, she saw Lu Chuxia reprimanding someone inside .
“You were only given one simple task but yet you’re so stupid . Even the horse was so disobedient! It couldn’t even knock down one person . ”
It was Lu Chuxia…
Lin Che walked a little closer and saw her criticizing a maid .
The maid hurriedly replied, “Miss, I tried, but Mr . Gu was too close to her . I couldn’t avoid him . ”
“Then, you should have gone ahead and hit them . What were you afraid of?”
“I was afraid of how the Lu family was going to answer if we hit Mr . Gu . ”
“You would not have been able to hit Gu Jingze . Who do you think Gu Jingze is? Would he be so easily knocked over by someone else? He would have dodged it for sure . Now, look what you’ve done . We were so close, so very close to trampling that little slut . ”
Lin Che’s body instantly tightened up . Were they talking about the horse just now?
Just then, she accidentally stepped on some horse grains and a crunch sounded from under her foot .
Lu Chuxia turned around and saw Lin Che .
Flustered, Lin Che turned around and started walking away, towards the outside .
Lu Chuxia’s eyes flashed . She turned around and said to the maid, “Get rid of the horse and make sure that there are no traces left behind . ”
“Yes, Miss . ”
Thereafter, Lu Chuxia brandished the whip in her hands and walked over .
“Lin Che, what are you doing?”
“I’m… I’m taking a walk,” she pretended to have not overheard their conversation just now to prevent Lu Chuxia from acting disadvantageously towards her .
“Oh, taking a walk . Did you happen to hear anything just now?”
“Sorry, what are you talking about?” She was indeed an actress and was skilled at acting
Lu Chuxia had her suspicions . Did Lin Che really just walk by and heard nothing? However, She would not believe Lin Che based entirely on her word .
“No matter what you heard, I’ll see if you have the guts to tell Gu Jingze about this . Lin Che, let me tell you this . You better understand this clearly . Right now, the Gu family obviously has an enemy that is attacking Gu Jingze in the dark . No matter how powerful the Gu family is, it would still be much more advantageous with the Lu family assisting them . Regardless of what you’ve heard, do you think that Gu Jingze would dare do anything to me just because of a mere person like you?”
Lin Che looked at Lu Chuxia, “I don’t understand what you are talking about . But… I’ve been out for far too long . I should get ready to head back . ”
Looking at Lin Che leave, Lu Chuxia followed behind closely .
Lin Che did not look back and ran ahead as if she didn’t know what was happening .
Lu Chuxia caught up immediately and started tugging Lin Che’s arm .
Lin Che would most definitely not allow others to simply touch her . She turned around and started struggling with Lu Chuxia .
“You little slut! How dare you hit me?! How dare you retaliate?! Who do you think you are?!”
“You were the one who started it first . Why shouldn’t I retaliate?”
Lu Chuxia saw a man-made lake in the distance and started to manifest malicious thoughts in her heart . She might as well just throw this woman into the lake and drown her .
Gu Jingze only liked her for her face anyway . There were pretty ladies everywhere . He wouldn’t dare to offend the Lu family over a woman .
In for a penny, in for a pound . Lu Chuxia immediately dragged Lin Che towards that direction .
How could Lin Che not tell that she was planning to drag her into the water?
However, she had underestimated Lin Che . Lin Che was not a vegetarian nor a princess . She was a tough girl who had bumped and knocked around while growing up . Therefore, at this moment beside the lake, Lin Che resisted Lu Chuxia with all her might .
Despite using all her strength, Lu Chuxia was unable to toss her in . Just then, she felt a push from Lin Che . Only then did she manage to react and realize that Lin Che was pretending to be weak for this opportunity .
The next moment, Lu Chuxia fell directly into the lake .
“Ah… Help, help…” Lu Chuxia shouted .
