Chapter 454: 454
Lin Che could also tell that this Lu Beichen was rather unruly . He was calm and indifferent like Gu Jingze, but they were not the same .

However, it was rather interesting too .
They sat there and chatted . Lu Chuxia saw Lin Che actually sitting with her own father and brother . They were chatting so happily that it made her furious .
Her family was actually standing on that slut’s side . Were they still her family?
Was a family such a hindrance?
Lu Chuxia walked to them . She looked at Lu Qinyu and Lin Che, “Who said you could sit here? This is my seat . ”
Lu Qinyu frowned and gently placed his palm on the table, “Chuxia, there are so many seats . Since when has this become yours?”
Lu Chuxia replied, “It’s mine if I said it’s mine . Anyway, this island belongs to our Lu family . Whatever I say is mine will be mine . ”
Lu Beichen watched and said, “Chuxia, I think I bought this island . I’m the owner and if I want someone to sit here, they will sit here . What’s your business?”
Lu Chuxia looked appalled at Lu Beichen .
Lu Beichen was also standing on Lin Che’s side now?
Lu Chuxia angrily smacked the table, “Who is your sister: me or her? Lu Beichen, what exactly do you mean?”
Lu Beichen also did not hold back . He simply stood up and straightened his shirt . He towered over Lu Chuxia and looked down at her, “What? Do you want to pick a fight with me here? I’m not afraid to be laughed at anyway . If you aren’t afraid, try me . Let people see what kind of manners this so-called top socialite has . ”

“You…”
Lu Chuxia and Lu Beichen fought since they were young . However, how could she ever win against this tall and mighty brother?
Behind, Lu Qinyu was so angry that he was huffing and glaring .
“Okay, okay, just look at you two . You’re not acting like siblings . Chuxia, go to the side and don’t bother us here again . ”
“Hmph, fine . I’ll go, I’ll go right now . Since you like Lin Che that much, I’m not going back home anymore . You guys can take Lin Che back to be your daughter and sister . ”
Lu Chuxia glared hatefully at Lin Che, turned, and then left .
Lu Qinyu followed, “Fine, don’t come back . ”
Lin Che watched Lu Qinyu get angry . She thought for a while, told Gu Jingze that she was going to check on the old man, then got up and went after him .
Lu Beichen watched and said to Gu Jingze, “Seriously . How old is she already? She was like this when she was young and now she is still like this . ”
Gu Jingze only looked up silently and watched Lin Che leave .
Lu Qinyu saw Lu Chuxia leave as he stood there, still fuming .
Lin Che quickly said, “Uncle, don’t be angry . ”

Lu Qinyu said, “Sigh, sometimes I really envy the Gu family . All their sons and daughters are so good while my two children are so disobedient whether they are young or grown-up . ”
Lin Che bit her lip and pondered . Then, she said to Lu Qinyu, “Uncle Lu, you don’t need to get angry with Chuxia because of me . The more you act like this, the angrier she will be . ”
Lu Qinyu said, “I believe that this stubborn and feisty personality of hers is not good . I really don’t know who she takes after . Her brother may not listen to me, but he isn’t like this . But she…”
Lin Che looked at Lu Qinyu . “I also have something I want to ask you actually . ”
“Ah, what is it?” He lowered his head and was extremely amiable .
Lin Che asked, “You and Su Cen… How were you two related?”
Lu Qinyu halted, his expression obviously puzzled .
He asked, “How are you related to Su Cen?”
Lin Che replied, “Su Cen is my mother . ”
Lu Qinyu’s entire body quivered .
He almost fell to the ground .
Lin Che quickly helped him up .

He looked at least ten years older than her mother and didn’t seem like he had anything going on with her mother, but…
Lin Che did feel strange .
Looking at Old Man Lu’s reaction, it was hard to believe that they had an ordinary student-teacher relationship .
Old Man Lu looked at Lin Che with his mouth agape . “You are Su Cen’s daughter?”
“Y-Yes…”
Old Man Lu said, “Okay, good, good . You look so alike . I actually thought about it long ago . You look so alike but I didn’t think it was nice to ask you directly, so I didn’t ask . ”
“Gu Jingze told me, so I wanted to ask you because I know too little about my mother . I just want to know a little more about her past . ”
“How is she now?”
“My mother already passed away a long time ago . ”
Lu Qinyu’s face was once again filled with pain . It seemed to drown his old eyes .
Lin Che could only hold onto Lu Qinyu .
After some time, Old Man Lu slowly recovered from that immense bout of pain .
He sighed and looked at Lin Che . Who would have thought? She was still so young, so active, and at that impulsive age . Who would have thought that she would actually already be gone just like that?
He said, “That’s right . Su Cen and I knew each other . ”
“Actually, we didn’t only just know each other . When I went to the village that year, she was only in her teens . She was very talented and smart . She kept pace with her studies and was full of spirit . I thought that it would be a waste for her to stay there, so I pushed her to go to university in B City . At that time, I helped her revise every day and I helped her through her exams . I also told her about the world outside . ”
“Sure enough, she really lived up to my grooming and very quickly got admitted to my university . I then began to teach her professional classes . At that time, I was still a young professor . I was full of vitality and always felt invincible . ”
“I recommended her to pursue her studies overseas and wanted her to get even better grades . Thus, I continued helping her in her revision and learning . We practically faced each other from dusk to dawn every day . It’s just that at that time, it was unexpected . We were two young people and ultimately, our feelings for each other unknowingly developed . We knew that our age difference was too big . I am a teacher and she was a student . She was my protégé . If anything between us was discovered, people would definitely talk . It might also end up affecting her education path . So, I got married . ”
“However, after I got married, she was heartbroken . Seeing her heartbroken also agonized me . We spent a year looking at each other, but unable to get close . ”
“After that, she lost all hope and did not want to continue her studies with us . She also didn’t listen to my suggestion to go overseas and simply left my line of vision . I didn’t see her again after that . ”
He looked at Lin Che, “I also often think that maybe I didn’t do enough . At that time, I was well aware that there shouldn’t have been feelings . However, I still let her get too close to me and it led to her disappointment . All these years, I have been regretting it deeply . It’s a pity that I can no longer look for her anymore . ”
Lin Che only looked ahead and mumbled, “So, it’s like that . ”
Actually, she could imagine it . Her mother was young once too . She was bound to have her own feelings and love experiences .
