“Qin Qing… does this Qin Qing really have feelings for Lin Che? He actually boosted her reputation!”

The netizens began to analyze the situation . They said that Lin Che seemed to be completely innocent and that it was Qin Qing who was so despicable that he used a woman’s feelings selfishly .
There were people even saying that although Lin Che and Lin Li were sisters, the two were vastly different upon close comparison; Lin Che was much more beautiful . It was, in fact, obvious that they did not share the same mother . Furthermore, Lin Li had constantly been selling her sob story for some time and it was really starting to get on everyone’s nerves . Then, someone said that Lin Li simply looked more manipulative than Lin Che . Any man would probably prefer Lin Che to Lin Li .
Of course, there were comments targeting Lin Che . Some people thought that there was no doubt that Qin Qing was despicable, but perhaps it was Lin Che who had seduced him first . After all, Lin Che was the child of the other woman . Since her mother had been a third party in someone else’s relationship, she had the same genes too!
However, at this precise moment, someone dug out a copious amount of information on Lin Che’s and Qin Qing’s shared past .
This included their middle school and high school graduation photos, photos of them at school events and their private photos . It was clear from all of these photos that Lin Che and Qin Qing had known each other from a long time ago . What’s more, they had known each other for a very long time, a much longer time than Qin Qing had known Lin Li .
This also proved that Qin Qing had been telling the truth when he said that he had known her before he knew Lin Li . It was only through Lin Che that Lin Li had gotten acquainted with Qin Qing thereafter . In addition, it was evident from the photos that Qin Qing had always been very caring towards Lin Che . The two of them had shared the same desk for many years without a break in between .
Subsequently, someone said that since Qin Qing had known Lin Che first, he was probably telling the truth .
Later on, someone discovered photos of Lin Che in middle school and high school . She had been extremely cute and pretty even then . Someone else had even changed the topic with a comment that Lin Che was already adorable back then and had the exact same face shape and eyes, so she was probably an all-natural beauty who had done no plastic surgery .
Now that there was this much information, Lin Che knew that Lin Li would not be able to turn the situation around .
Back inside, Yu Minmin said, “I didn’t expect Qin Qing to say that all of a sudden . ”
She looked at Lin Che and sighed as she gazed at the calm expression on Lin Che’s face .
Qin Qing had only done it for her sake . Anyone with a discerning eye could tell .

Lin Che picked up her phone and walked out . She paused for quite a long time before calling Qin Qing .
It took a long time for Qin Qing to answer the call .
“Lin Che?” he said .
“Qin Qing . This incident… you didn’t have to do that . ”
“Oh… you’re talking about this . ” He chuckled and continued, “It’s alright . It’s the most I can do for you . ”
“But it’s not the truth . You… why did you lie for my sake and willingly bear the brunt of criticism?”
“Even though it’s not the truth, I did create trouble for you by canceling my engagement, so it’s my responsibility anyway . Of course, I can’t sit around and do nothing . It’s alright . Just let me help you, Lin Che . No matter how useless of a man I am, at least I can still help my good friend out in this matter . ”
What else could Lin Che say? Overwhelmed by emotion, she could only clutch her phone and thank him .
After Lin Che went back in, Yang Lingxin sensed that she still seemed to be feeling a little down . Yang Lingxin said to Lin Che, “Sister Che, right now everyone’s starting to criticize Lin Li and not you . Please don’t be unhappy anymore . ”
Lin Che merely mustered a smile . “No . That’s not why I’m unhappy . ”
Yang Lingxin said, “Furthermore, right now everyone is even saying that you’re definitely more beautiful than Lin Li . It serves Lin Li right for bringing up the matter for no reason . In the end, the photos were released and everyone is acknowledging the fact that she can’t be compared to you at all . ”
The other two were not speaking at all . Yang Lingxin thought of Qin Qing and approached Lin Che . She said softly, “Sister Che, by the way, was the Second Young Master telling the truth? Does he really like you?”

Yu Minmin immediately smacked Yang Lingxin .
She was just so careless with her words .
Similarly, Lin Che merely looked at Yang Lingxin silently with her lips pursed .
Yang Lingxin could only splutter and try to explain, “I just think that Sister Che is such a nice person . It’s totally understandable for him to like her . ”
“That’s enough . Go and tidy up the documents first . We’re leaving soon to eat . It’s about time to get off work soon, right?” While speaking, Yu Minmin lifted her wrist to look at the time . “I have to go first . You two go ahead and eat . ”
“Hm . Okay . ” Yu Minmin had been getting busier and did not often come to the company . Lin Che was already used to it .
So she only brought Yang Lingxin along for a casual meal at a nearby restaurant .
At the Gu residence .
Chen Yucheng looked at Gu Jingze incredulously . “I told you not to explain yourself . But I didn’t tell you to go there and immediately drag her out so roughly . I didn’t tell you to go there and rob the house . You should have said some pleasant words and cajoled her to come back . ”
Gu Jingze breathed in deeply . He leaned back and looked out without saying a single word .
Chen Yucheng really had enough of Gu Jingze’s lack of tact .

However, it was, in fact, Gu Jingze’s first time experiencing such a thing .
If not for this, given Gu Jingze’s ability, every other woman would be docile towards him . Who else would dare to do this to Gu Jingze?
This Lin Che was really formidable .
She even forced Gu Jingze to come looking for her personally and kicked him home right away in front of so many people .
After speaking to Gu Jingze, Chen Yucheng left with a heart full of frustration .
Shen Youran trailed after him . Chen Yucheng said, “I’ve already tried to persuade him for you, but he has a really low emotional quotient, so I don’t think he’ll know how to carry out the plan . ”
Shen Youran said, “I think he definitely wouldn’t betray Lin Che since he treats her so well . But he should at least go and coax her . He’s really too dumb . I get so anxious just watching them . ”
“Occasionally quarreling is also a way of communication . Alright, leave it alone . Let’s go . ”
Shen Youran followed Chen Yucheng back to the office . On the way there, they were asked to attend to a psychopath killer who had psychiatric issues along with biological ones .
After returning to the office, Chen Yucheng quickly changed his clothes and left together with Shen Youran .
The people in the office were still mumbling amongst themselves as they watched the two of them leave .
“Why has Doctor Chen been doting on Shen Youran so much? He brings her everywhere . ”
“Yes . And on top of that, he even personally teaches her . Why would a person as busy as Doctor Chen be at her beck and call? Could it be… that there’s really something going on between them?”
“That’s such a pity . Doctor Chen has been single for so many years . Boo hoo, will he be snatched away just like that?”
Someone said enviously, “Assistant Shen is not an ordinary person . She’s Madam Gu’s best friend . Madam Gu was the one who recommended her for a job at our office . Doctor Chen is such a cold person and ignores everyone, but he teaches her . It’s not a coincidence . If you’re jealous, go get yourself a best friend like Young Madam . ”
Lin Che was eating at a restaurant with Yang Lingxin .
However, she did not eat a lot because she was feeling down .
Yang Lingxin said, “Sister Che, please eat a little more . You look so skinny . It won’t be good if you continue eating so little . ”
Lin Che said, “Alright, I’ll eat a little more . Don’t mind me and eat up . I just don’t have much of an appetite . ”
Just then, someone beside them seemed to have realized that Lin Che was here .
“Lin Che, wow . You’re eating here too . ”
Lin Che saw her fan and had no choice but to raise her head and smile .
The fan asked, “Can I take a picture with you?”
