Chapter 619
Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Che . “Your grandfather also knows that this grandson of his has the same disposition as him . He’s stubborn and his grandson is just as stubborn as he is . ”

Lin Che sighed . It was not just because of Grandfather . She was very worried that Gu Jingyu would be the one to regret it in the end .
After all, she had experienced something similar . It was only when her mother really passed away that she felt that she had not properly asked her what she had experienced back then .
It made her feel more or less regretful .
Mu Wanqing was about to go to the front to check on the other aspects of the banquet, so Lin Che walked around on her own here .
The Gu residence looked just like a manor . She found a place to sit down and a maid approached her to ask if she needed something to drink .
She asked for fruit juice and took a few mouthfuls . Then, she heard someone call her name from behind her .
Gu Lanshan was behind her . She looked at Lin Che and asked, “Why are you sitting alone here?”
Lin Che could still remember that when Mo Huiling had said that she was pregnant back then, Gu Lanshan had supported her . Thus, Lin Che did not like her at all when she saw her now .
She merely looked at Gu Lanshan and said, “Aunt . ”
Gu Lanshan said, “You don’t mind if I sit here, right?”
“Of course not, Aunt . ” Lin Che was not so extreme .
Gu Lanshan said, “What happened? Your complexion doesn’t look so good . Are you feeling unwell?”

Lin Che smiled . “It’s nothing . But… Aunt, has Grandfather never said anything about Jingyu’s absence every year? He didn’t tell anyone to go and look for him either?”
Gu Lanshan smiled and looked at Lin Che . “Yes . Old Master is stubborn like that . There’s no use trying to change his mind about something he has decided on . Forget it . Don’t wet yourself with muddy water . But this matter has always been weighing on your mother-in-law’s mind . Your mother-in-law, my sister-in-law, will probably never be at ease for every day that Jingyu doesn’t return . ”
Gu Lanshan looked at her and sighed deeply . Then, she said, “Alright, I’ll take my leave first . ”
Lin Che smiled . “Alright . Take care, Aunt . ”
Gu Lanshan looked in Lin Che’s direction and scoffed . Thereafter, she went to give someone a call .
“We don’t need Lin Che to give that present we prepared for her anymore . ”
Over the phone, Mo Huiling asked in surprise, “What? Why?”
Gu Lanshan said, “Initially, I wanted to talk to her about the present, but I realized that she was asking for trouble on her own . She asked me about Gu Jingyu and I told her specifically that Grandfather is very stubborn, but that her mother-in-law Mu Wanqing was very troubled by Gu Jingyu . I wonder if she will try to resolve the matter to please her mother-in-law . If that’s the case, hehe… then there’s no need for us to do anything . If she really wants to help her mother-in-law handle the matter, then we’ll just wait for Old Master to throw a fit and chase her out . ”
Mo Huiling asked, “What if she was just mentioning it and wasn’t planning to actually do anything?”
“She seemed as if she was really going to get involved in it . Hmph . I’ve seen these types of girls often . They feel like they’re invincible after being doted on for just a few days . She will know when the time comes . ”
After thinking about it on the way home, Lin Che finally decided that she was definitely going to give Grandfather a present .
When Gu Jingze returned, Lin Che told him about it . He smiled and asked, “You’re seriously not going to give up on it?”

Lin Che said, “Don’t put it like that . I just want to try . ”
Gu Jingze looked at her quietly for sometime before finally saying, “Sure, let’s go . I’ll take you somewhere . ”
“Where?”
“Jingyu’s old bedroom . ”
Gu Jingyu brought Lin Che to Gu Jingyu’s old bedroom .
Although it had been a long time since anyone lived in it and the decorations were slightly outdated, it was still spotlessly clean . It looked like people often came to clean the place up .
Lin Che saw many of Gu Jingyu’s possessions and was truly very surprised . She looked up at Gu Jingze . “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll cause trouble for you?”
“Just a small issue like this…” He tapped her on the forehead . “It’s nothing to me . Don’t worry . ”
Lin Che nodded . “Alright . I’m even bolder now that you’ve said this . I’ll become even more and more bold in the future . I wonder if I’ll dig you into a hole . ”
“Huh . On the contrary, I do want to know what trouble I can’t settle in C Nation . ”
Lin Che immediately felt a sense of admiration for him . She looked up at Gu Jingze .

Not many people were invited to Gu Xiande’s birthday banquet . Only relatives from the same family and friends of many years .
Outside the Gu residence, Mo Huiling alighted and searched for Gu Lanshan .
However, two guards from the Gu family approached her from afar and said that they were going to bring her in .
“Miss Mo, First Miss instructed us to invite you in . ”
The First Miss was Gu Lanshan . Hearing this, Mo Huiling hastily followed them in .
After going in, the guards took her to a private room . The hall was temporarily filled with people, so Gu Lanshan brought her here and settled her down to rest up first .
One of the guards said, “First Miss told us that your body isn’t in good condition, so you should rest here . There are too many people over there . It won’t be good if you knock into someone . ”
Mo Huiling happened to be looking outside and watching the people outside walk to and fro . She felt slightly excited as it was her first time attending Gu Xiande’s birthday banquet .
She thought to herself, Hmph . She had said from the start that one day, she would definitely walk into this place proudly .
Today, she had finally found her way in .
Thinking of this, she quickly posted on her feed . Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that the location was indicated and the name of the place shown was the Gu residence . She stated without hesitation that she was here to attend a birthday banquet held by the Gu family . There were so many people and it was too cramped . It irritated her to death .
She saw an envious comment below stating, “No way . You actually went to the Gu residence to attend the birthday banquet? Did you really get back together with Gu Jingze?”
“A birthday banquet held by the Gu family is such a major event . Why didn’t you say that you were going to attend it beforehand?”
“I’m outside . I came to attend the banquet too . Huiling, where are you? Let’s go in together . Did you go in with Gu Jingze? Can you introduce me to Gu Jingze? It was so difficult for me to come . I just want to take a photo with him . ”
Mo Huiling looked at these comments proudly . Then she heard that people were already taking out the presents they had prepared .
Mo Huiling looked at those huge items . She walked over and ran her hands along the edges of the presents while thinking that she was really looking forward to Lin Che’s expression later .
Outside, preparations for the birthday banquet were nearly complete . So many people had already arrived .
Lin Che and Gu Jingze sat inside . In front of them, Gu Jingming and Yu Minmin had just arrived . It was Yu Minmin’s first time attending and she was even sitting in such a prominent position . She could not help but feel a little nervous . From time to time, she looked up at Gu Jingming .
Lin Che looked at the people bustling around . All of them were looking over here . Because this was a family banquet, the round tables were placed beside one another . Of course, Gu Jingze and Gu Jingming sat at the head of the table . Gu Lanshan was also sitting with them .
Just then, they heard someone say that Old Master was here .
Everyone stood up to welcome the birthday star .
