After some time, Lin Che finally arrived .
“Lin Che is here . ”
“Where?”
“She just came in through the entrance with Gu Jingze . ”
Lin Che waited for Gu Jingze at the entrance before they came in together .
Everyone heard about this Lin Che person, but never actually saw Lin Che in real life .
Everyone knew that those tabloids on TV were mostly fake and orchestrated . A person’s true character could only be seen in real life .
Thus, when everyone heard that Lin Che was actually participating in the WW banquet, their interests piqued .
This woman was also arrogant enough to bring Gu Jingze with her .
Gu Jingze’s tall figure walked in and his sharp eyes swept across the entire floor . Those untainted eyes were really so darn attractive .
Everyone was amazed by his appearance and their sighs were endless .
“It’s Gu Jingze . ”
“It really is him!”
“Can I take a photo?”
“Take a photo? Are you looking for death?”
“Tsk, tsk . Looks at the woman beside him . ”
Following that, jealous eyes all turned to Lin Che .
She wore a simple pencil skirt and didn’t wear any special accessories . She was dressed in silvery-gray and looked extremely groomed and gracious . Although her simple outfit was not outstanding, it really showed her figure .
Nobody could find faults with Lin Che . She looked a lot prettier in real life and nobody could see any plastic surgery scars . Thus, everyone could only scoff and say, “She doesn’t have anything more than we do . How did Gu Jingze take a liking to her?”
“Maybe she is good in bed . ”
This was the first time Lin Che saw so many women gathered in one place . Looking at all the different pairs of eyes, she already thought to herself that three women were enough to cause drama . There were so many women here… There really was a sense of danger today .
However, under the light, these eyes were all staring lustfully at her man .
Lin Che felt as if she was being torn apart by all their jealous eyes .
Lin Che almost wanted to let go of Gu Jingze’s waist .
But when she wanted to move, Gu Jingze took her hand and firmly placed it in the hook of his arm . He was not letting her move .
“Lin Che, you’re here,” a familiar voice sounded from above .
Lin Che looked up to see Lu Qinyu standing there .
Lin Che froze .
Lu Qinyu smiled and said, “Come on up . There are seats here . ”
Lin Che said, “Okay, Uncle Lu . ”
Lu Qinyu was seated upstairs . Gu Jingze looked up and narrowed his eyes . Then, he turned to Lin Che and frowned subtly .
Lin Che was also puzzled . “Why is Uncle Lu here?”
Gu Jingze took her in and spoke as they walked, “Actually, I found out about some things recently, but I haven’t had the chance to tell you . ”
“What is it?”
Gu Jingze stopped to look at Lin Che, “Lin Che, your mother’s name is Su Cen, right?”
“That’s right . ” But what did that have to do with Old Man Lu?
Gu Jingze said, “I found out that Old Man Lu once stayed at your mother’s old home before . Remember when we visited Granny and saw a photo of your mother with several people?”
“Yes . Don’t tell me that those people…”
“One of them was Old Man Lu . ”
“What?”
Gu Jingze said, “He used to be your mother’s teacher . He recommended her to attend university in B City and she entered the university that he taught at . ”
Lin Che never would have guessed that there could be such a fate .
“I’ve never heard my mother talk about how she came to B City . However, I was still small at that time and Mother would never tell me things like that . ”
“That’s right . Your mother used to be Old Man Lu’s protégé, but she left later on . ”
“She must have met my dad after that and then began her torturous life…” Lin Che thought about it and really felt the injustice for her mother .
“But I have to remind you of one thing,” Gu Jingze said properly .
Hearing him sound strict, Lin Che stopped and looked at him . “What?”
“Your mother’s relationship with Old Man Lu in the past may not have been ordinary . ”
Lin Che froze .
Gu Jingze held her hand and waited for her reaction .
Gu Jingze then said slowly, “This is not something I can confirm . Neither have I investigated it in detail . ”
After all, it didn’t feel right to go overboard with the investigation of Lin Che’s mother .
Lin Che silently looked ahead, “So, Old Man Lu is fond of me because he knows about my mother?”
“He doesn’t know . ”
Lin Che looked up .
Gu Jingze said, “I think it’s better if you tell Old Man Lu yourself . ”
After all, he thought it wasn’t right for him to tell Old Man Lu about Lin Che’s mother .
Gu Jingze once again held Lin Che’s hand up, “Come on . Let’s go up . ”
“Okay . ”
Lin Che was still a little absentminded . When she saw Old Man Lu welcoming her, she still hadn’t reacted .
“Little Che, you’re here . Come sit over here . ”
Lu Beichen was also there . He looked at Lin Che and nodded .
After the formalities, Gu Jingze pressed Lin Che down to sit there .
She raised her head and looked at Lu Qinyu .
She couldn’t imagine that her mother and this man in front of her could have a past relationship between them .
Lu Beichen leaned against his seat and said, “These women are still so boring . I really don’t know why we come here . ”
Lu Qinyu replied, “Our Lu family developed this island and we also recruited them to pick this place . Of course, we have to show our support . ”
Lin Che said in shock, “This belongs to the Lu family?”
Lu Beichen said indignantly, “We didn’t buy this island to hold such boring events . ”
“Yes, it was for your damn fishing boats . ”
Lin Che didn’t quite understand .
Lu Qinyu explained to Lin Che gently, “This lad can’t do things correctly in all these years . He secretly bought this small island and many fishing boats to fish here . After I found out about it, we then tidied up this place and developed it . ”
Lin Che thought speechlessly, They could secretly buy islands?
When these wealthy people were stubborn, they could really leave one speechless .
Lu Beichen pursed his lips and took a deep breath .
On the side, Gu Jingze said, “Brother Beichen is really so carefree and leisurely . ”
Lu Beichen retorted, “Did you think everybody is a workaholic like you? Spending my days fishing is my wish over these years . Sigh, it’s too bad the old man put his foot down on me . Now, I even have to waste my time coming here and watch these pretentious women on my happy grounds . Do you think I can still be happy?”
Gu Jingze chuckled lightly, “To me, making money is already a hobby . ”
Lu Beichen looked at Lin Che, “I really don’t know why you married him . ”
Lin Che laughed, “Nevermind . I can just see his face . Why would I care what he does?”
“Fine… You’re right . ”
Lu Beichen now had a pretty good impression of Lin Che . After getting to know her better, he was finally not so cautious and was willing to speak casually with her .
