Lin Che said, "My reputation…"
Gu Jingze approached her and said, "If your father did not offend anyone recently, his affairs would not have been exposed so suddenly . It gives me reason to suspect that the target was someone else . "
"By someone else… do you mean… me?" Lin Che pointed to herself and asked .
Gu Jingze nodded . "That's right . At a time like this, you would probably attract more attention than him . You're also a much easier target than your father . "
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze and internally sighed in admiration . He was worthy of his name as an unscrupulous businessman . Thoughts like these had not occurred to her at all . However, Gu Jingze had already thought of so many things because of one sentence from her .
Lin Che said, "But I don't want to help him at all . He has never fulfilled any of his responsibilities to me as a father, both in the past and in the present . He had only hurt me and my mother . I don't want to give him the time of day at all . "
Gu Jingze said, "You don't have to bother with him . I'll get someone to find out what exactly is happening . "
"Alright then . "

Gu Jingze said, "I will be busy with work today . Can you choose your wedding dress on your own?"
"Of course I can . Go ahead . I can ask Abby along with me . Anyway, I'm just going to check the dresses out," Lin Che said .
Gu Jingze placed his arm around her head and kissed her forehead .
In the wedding dress boutique, Lin Che and Abby watched the staff present to them drawing samples of several wedding dresses .
Lin Che looked at each wedding dress and found all of them very beautiful .
The salesperson enthusiastically told her more about the dresses . "Mr . Gu has already sent someone here to instruct us that we will only select wedding dresses designed by Italian designers . Mr . Gu has very good taste . The works of our Italian designers have all won major international awards . There are numerous outstanding designs . You can take a look at these few first . The designers of these dresses are all pretty well-known in their field . Their designs suit your figure very well too . "
The salesperson selected a few designers for her without hesitation . She only introduced the designers and their works . There was no need to mention the prices; since it was Gu Jingze's wedding, she could definitely choose whichever wedding dress she wanted .
Lin Che looked at a few of them . Although Abby was still young and did not appreciate the beauty of wedding dresses, she could not stop showering praises on the choices on display .

The two of them looked at the dresses for some time and narrowed down the selection first . They were planning to keep the dresses there so that they could take the time to look at them carefully . Then, they left the store .
However, upon reaching the entrance, Lin Che heard Lin Youcai's voice again before they even got into the car .
"Lin Che, Lin Che, don't leave . "
Lin Youcai came up to her from behind . He ran towards them in a frenzy while looking at Lin Che .
Lin Che frowned . Her relaxed mood had been disrupted all of a sudden . She immediately said to Lin Youcai, "Father, I've already told you that I will not help you in this matter . You coming here doesn't change this . "
"Hey, hey, hey . Lin Che, listen to me first . Don't be in such a rush to leave . " Lin Youcai suddenly kneeled down with a thud . Lin Che instinctively stepped backward and looked down at Lin Youcai in surprise .
"You…"

With both his knees on the ground, Lin Youcai looked at Lin Che . "Little Che, your father is begging you . Help me out . With your current status and power, isn't this a trivial matter? Just help me even if it's out of pity . You're in such a powerful position right now, but I'm being investigated . Wouldn't it cast a shadow on your reputation too?"
Lin Che smiled grimly and looked at Lin Youcai . "All of you tried ways and means to cause trouble for me but now, you're even asking for my help? I'm not so magnanimous as to forget the past completely . When I was young, I lived with the nanny in her room . After I grew up, you wanted me to marry a fool . When I got together with Gu Jingze, you wanted me to share him with your daughter . If I can forgive all of this, I really don't know… what is considered unforgivable . "
"I… I… I really regret it very much, Lin Che . " He looked up at Lin Che with his tears and snot streaming down his face altogether . "I was blind . I was wrong . I was blinded by greed . I was afraid that you would get revenge on me after you attained power so I wanted you to give them a leg up too . I've already learned my lesson now . I really shouldn't have treated you that way . Because I'm your father and I watched you grow up… give me a chance to enjoy my late years, alright? I can't spend the rest of my life in jail . "
He looked at Lin Che . "You're the only one who can save me now, Lin Che . I can't pin my hopes on anyone else . No one in our family is more successful than you . Right now, you're really famous and wealthy . Furthermore, Gu Jingze dotes on you so much . Other people can't help but envy you . Please be magnanimous and help me out…"
Unaffected, Lin Che headed towards the car . Beside her, Abby glanced at him and said to the person beside her, "Why aren't you getting rid of him? The situation looks so ugly . "
Abby got into the car . Seeing that Lin Che was sitting there silently, she said, "So, it turns out that every father is bad . "
Lin Che said, "Of course not . Your father treats you very well . I really don't like my father because he has never been a father to me apart from giving me a place to live . A father would not be willing to sell his daughter off for profit . Neither would he be willing to push his daughter into a fire pit . Thus, I won't help him no matter what he does . But my mood turns sour whenever I see him . I keep recalling many bits and pieces of my past . I think of the fact that I almost didn't have a father . It's such a shame that I don't know what fatherly love is at all . "
"Alright… In that case, your father is indeed worse than mine . "
Before Lin Che had even arrived home, she saw that a photo had suddenly been released on prominent websites .
The photo showed Lin Che and Lin Youcai on the road . It was obvious that the photo had been taken from a distance . However, it was still pretty clear . Lin Youcai was kneeling on the ground . Lin Che's expression was cold and there was clearly a sneer on her face .
There was an explanation of the photo below and the headline stated, "A Well-Known Celebrity Is Ruthless Towards Her Father After Becoming Famous . She Sneers Even When Her Father Is Kneeling And Begging For Forgiveness" .
The article stated that Lin Youcai was Lin Che's father . As Lin Youcai was the mayor, his family was doing pretty well . However, at the moment Lin Youcai was being investigated . There was also a possibility that he would be charged with corruption . In the photograph that was taken recently, it seemed that Lin Youcai had asked Lin Che for a favor, but she obviously behaved in a way that was not befitting of a daughter . Instead, her father had kneeled down to beg her for forgiveness .
Mo Huiling looked at the photograph and grinned evilly .
"Good, good . I'll see if the Gu family dares to take someone like Lin Che into the family . She's a heartless actress who will be detested by everyone . "
Li Mingyu looked at Mo Huiling's sinister expression . "Huiling, don't go overboard . You can't hide something like this from Gu Jingze . "
Mo Huiling said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter . What can Gu Jingze do to me?"
Li Mingyu was about to say something again but Mo Huiling was already ignoring him .
Li Mingyu always felt that she took things too far . But it was obvious that Mo Huiling did not know that trouble was ahead . She was really being arrogant .
