Chapter 459: 459
“No, Uncle Lu . I just don’t want to give up . I’ve been practicing for so long . I learned fencing and ballet . Now, I don’t want to not go just because of this small matter . Won’t all my hard work be for nothing? It wasn’t easy to learn them and I still want to show what I’ve got to everyone . ”

Lu Qinyu heard this and only looked at Lin Che .
She was like her, just like her .
“You are a fighter, just like your mother . ” He sighed and said, “Okay . I’ll get the attendants to make some soup for you . If you need anything else, you can always tell me . I will support you with everything I can . ”
Lin Che could only smile . “Thank you, Uncle, but I really am much better now . ”
Just then, Lin Che saw that Gu Jingze was already standing at the door .
She had no idea how long he had been listening there .
Lu Qinyu saw that Gu Jingze was here and said to him that if anything happened, he could use the whole Lu family’s power . Lu Qinyu told Gu Jingze not to treat himself as an outsider and then left .
Gu Jingze came in and tucked Lin Che with the blanket .
He looked deeply at her as if he already heard what she said just now . He didn’t say anything else and only said, “Get some rest after drinking the ginger soup . Lie down and don’t move . ”
Lin Che thought about it clearly . She knew that she had already come so far . If she really gave up now, it would only make Lu Chuxia happy .
However, she overestimated her body .
Unexpectedly, disaster came like a chain reaction . The next day, she really caught a cold .
When Lin Che woke up, she felt like her throat was already smoking .
It looked like being soaked in the water yesterday and walking straight back exposed her to the wind . This resulted in her cold .

Lin Che looked around . Today was fencing .
She didn’t tell Gu Jingze about her throat . She was worried that he would make a mountain out of a molehill . It wouldn’t be good if he didn’t let her take part in the competition .
However, after what happened yesterday, Lin Che could immediately feel that people were looking at her differently when she came out of her room .
The jealous people were more jealous and the curious people were more curious .
Naturally, when Gu Jingze came out, all those people dispersed .
Gu Jingze saw that Lin Che was dressed thinly . He waved at the attendant to take a shawl . He personally draped it over her shoulders and looked at her . “Why did you come out like that? This is an island . It is very humid . ”
Lin Che chuckled, “I’m not that weak . Let’s go . ”
At the side, some ladies watched Gu Jingze with blushed faces and then quickly shied away .
Gu Jingze was oblivious to them, but Lin Che pursed her lips in her mind .
After yesterday’s incident, these ladies seemed to be getting closer .
Seriously…
In the fencing arena .
Lin Che changed into her suit and looked at her sword .

Lu Chuxia saw Lin Che and immediately walked over, pushing Lin Che to the side .
Some people saw Lu Chuxia arrive and quickly made way for her . At the same time, they sucked up to her, “Chuxia, you were really great at horse riding yesterday . ”
“All-rounded women like you are simply too rare . No, you are the one and only in our C Nation . Chuxia, you’ll definitely do even better in today’s fencing competition . ”
“Yes, you simply have no rival in C Nation . ”
Naturally, besides having the Gu family, C Nation also has the Lu family . The young mistress of the Gu family never liked to come out and socialize, so in C Nation, Lu Chuxia’s position was unrivaled .
Lu Chuxia smiled in her suit . She turned her head to look at Lin Che, “I’ll make you leave the WW party today . Prepare your speech of defeat . I’ll be waiting for you to say that you can’t match up to me . ”
After that, she turned and left .
The fencing competition was about to begin .
Gu Jingze was still at the spectator stand, looking down below .
The people at the side wanted to approach Gu Jingze but were shaken by his ice-cold eyes . They didn’t dare to approach him and could only watch him from afar .
Below, Lin Che cursed internally when she drew her lot .
This was obviously arranged by Lu Chuxia . Lin Che’s opponent turned out to be her .
However, defeating her would give her a higher score .
She looked at her sword and suddenly felt a bout of dizziness . It seemed like the cold was still affecting her .

Just then, she heard the announcement outside that the competition was about to start .
Lin Che walked out and could hear some of the young lads on the stands . Since yesterday, they converted from being Lu Chuxia’s fans to Lin Che’s fans because Lin Che really looked good on a horse .
They were visual creatures after all .
Hearing people calling her name, Lin Che was rather embarrassed . She looked up to see those lads who in turn went crazy . They exclaimed, “Lin Che! Lin Che! I’ll support you! Fight on, Lin Che! Whatever you want, I will support you . Tell me if you need anything!”
Lin Che heard this and blushed even more . These rich playboys…
However, Gu Jingze turned to look at them . His dark face made them tone down a lot . They could only look ahead and quietly support her .
Lu Chuxia saw this and was even angrier . These men… were too much . Seeing one and liking one… They only knew about Lin Che yesterday, and now they were already biased towards her .
Lu Chuxia suddenly wondered if this bet with Lin Che and bringing her to this high-end event meant that she was on the losing end .
Because she never thought that these people would like Lin Che .
Lu Chuxia huffed and lunged forward first .
Lin Che then reacted and quickly retaliated .
Lu Chuxia’s fencing could only be considered normal . Because of Lin Che’s cold, her head throbbed and ached periodically .
She felt as if she could fall to the ground at any minute .
She had no energy to defend herself, so she could only listen as the referee at the side give Lu Chuxia one point after another .
Lin Che also wondered if she was losing .
Was she going to lose just like this?
Then Lu Chuxia’s scheme yesterday really worked . She didn’t die and wasn’t injured, but because of a cold…
It was already chaotic on the stands .
Everyone watched as Lin Che stumbled and retreated . They couldn’t help but say, “It seems like from comparing their abilities, Lu Chuxia is indeed much stronger than Lin Che . ”
“Yes, Lin Che is completely out of it . ”
“Lin Che is done for . ”
“Lu Chuxia is indeed C Nation’s top socialite . It looks like nobody can displace her . So if Lin Che really loses, won’t she have to leave Gu Jingze?”
Everyone inevitably looked at Gu Jingze and thought that he and Lu Chuxia were indeed matching . However, no matter who was with a man like Gu Jingze, the ladies would still feel indignant .
On the other hand, the men were very happy, “If Gu Jingze doesn’t want her, I do . I think Lin Che is really not bad . ”
“Get lost . Lin Che is mine . ”
Right at this moment, the atmosphere was still anxious in the arena .
But just then, Lu Chuxia thrust her sword forward .
