“…”
Gu Jingze looked at her deeply. This woman would seriously only be satisfied if she tortured him to death.
But…
Gu Jingze, nevertheless, released his hold on Lin Che slowly, but not before kissing her cheek.
After he put her down, Lin Che looked at him and glared at him. She said, “But the water heater here doesn’t work. It’s better for you to go back.”
Gu Jingze stretched out his hand and directly connected the water heater before pressing a few buttons.
The water heater immediately started up.
Lin Che widened her eyes. “Ah, so you know how to use it!”
Gu Jingze said, “Of course. There’s a user manual right here. Didn’t you read it?”
“I… read it, but I didn’t understand the symbols on it. But have you installed this before?” Lin Che found it strange that a CEO like him knew how to install this.
Gu Jingze said, “Do you think everyone else is as stupid as you? These are probably symbols related to physics. I learned them in school. Just follow the manual and install it.”
Lin Che glared at him and scoffed internally. She thought to herself that he was too much; he clearly knew how to install it but still asked her to come over and help.
Gu Jingze did not stop Lin Che from going back. Although he was reluctant to let her go, he, nevertheless, watched her walk through Shen Youran’s door.
Seriously, she was probably the only one on Earth who could reject him like this.
The only person who could challenge him like this was probably her as well.
This lass was really becoming more and more audacious. But when he thought about it, she was now becoming increasingly bold all because he had spoiled her too much. It had gotten to the point where she even dared to make demands of him.
It was a pity that he simply could not hold his ground against her…
Just then, Lu Chuxia called Gu Jingze again.
Gu Jingze answered the call and said, “What’s up?”
Lu Chuxia said, “Jingze, you left in a rush immediately after arriving here the last time. This time, there’s an opening event being held at my house. Will you attend it? We can continue our unfinished discussion on the same topic.”
“Chuxia, your doctor can’t solve my problem. I have my own doctor. I’ve already told you this.”
“Is that so? Then, we should talk about it face-to-face. Alright, Jingze? I really want to meet you and talk about it in detail. These things are confidential, so I can’t mention it to anyone else. I can only clarify my doubts with you. Otherwise, if I ask around everywhere and someone else discovers it, the situation could get even worse.”
With his phone in hand, Gu Jingze looked straight ahead with an emotionless expression devoid of any warmth. However, there was no sign of anxiety on his face either, although his jet-black eyes seemed to deepen as if carefully concealing a secret.

Lu Chuxia clasped the phone in her hand and thought to herself. Gu Jingze was really becoming more and more indifferent towards her. Could it be that he had already come up with a way to deal with her?
But it was probably very difficult to find a good way to resolve this issue.
Furthermore, her family had an existing marriage engagement with the Gu family. For his sister’s sake, he could not so easily make an enemy of her family.
However, after thinking about it, she decided that she still needed a back-up plan. Otherwise, her hold over Gu Jingze would be wasted.
Her eyes moved and she thought up a plan…
—
The next day, Lin Che was sitting with Gu Jingyu at the film site. This time, the venue selected for filming was a very large studio. Besides them, there were many other people filming at the same place.
There were many tourists walking in the tourist area outside as well.
Gu Jingyu and Lin Che were waiting together for their turn. A little later, someone called for Gu Jingyu. He left the room, leaving Lin Che alone. Without Yu Minmin to gossip with her, she could only initiate some casual conversation with Yang Lingxin.
Just then, a sound traveled from afar.
“All of you, move aside. Don’t you know who I am? I’m Lin Li.”
Lin Li?
Lin Che turned around and saw that it was indeed Lin Li.
The security guards stopped her from coming in while saying that she was not from this crew.
Because Gu Jingyu was with this crew, security was slightly more stringent than that in other film crews. Ordinary people, even if they were actors, would not necessarily be let in easily.
Lin Li said, “I came to visit someone at work. Can’t I do that? I’m Lin Che’s sister. All of you should at least know this.”
Lin Che’s brow wrinkled. Yang Lingxin asked, “Why is she here again?”
Lin Che was curious too.
Nevertheless, she stood up and looked at Lin Li. “What did you come here for?”
Once she saw Lin Che respond, Lin Li pushed the staff aside and strutted inside directly.
The staff was very annoyed and glanced at Lin Li in disdain.
Lin Li came over to her and said, “My new drama started filming here. The opening ceremony was held today. I saw from the schedule that you were filming here today too. What? Are you ashamed to face me? Lin Che, tell me. How exactly did you seduce Qin Qing into actually saying those things in your favor? I really see you in a new light.”
Hearing this, Yang Lingxin shouted from the side, “Hey, why are you being so rude?”
Lin Li immediately responded, “Who do you think you are? I’m talking to Lin Che. What does it have to do with a lackey like you?”
Having been insulted, Yang Lingxin’s face turned completely red. She pursed her lips in slight unhappiness.
Lin Che and Yang Lingxin looked at Lin Li. “Attack me if you must. Why are you making it difficult for the people around me? You’re right. Qin Qing is helping me. That’s because he doesn’t want to be as terrible a person as you are.”
Lin Li said furiously, “You’re the one who seduced Qin Qing first. Don’t think that I’m unaware. Since your school days, you were interested in him. Now that you’re a little famous, you’re seducing him. What method did you use this time to make him help you? Did you sleep with him?”
Upon hearing such shameless words leave her lips, Lin Che instinctively raised her hand and aimed it at Lin Li’s face.
With a slap, Lin Li froze completely.
“You… you hit me?” Lin Li looked at Lin Che in disbelief.
When did this stupid lass get the guts to hit her? She was just an illegitimate daughter of the Lin family, a woman who had been bullied by her from a young age.
Lin Che’s face was flushed red from anger. “You deserve this slap for insulting me like that.”
Lin Li’s anger rose instantly. “I haven’t even held you accountable for causing me to break up with Qin Qing. How dare you hit me? I’m going to hit you, you cheap slut. If you’re trying to reduce our family to nothing as part of your revenge, that’s impossible. Heaven helps the worthy. Don’t even think about knocking me down.”
In no time, Lin Li and Lin Che were going at each other.
The staff was all frozen in shock. They had not expected the two sisters to actually have such fiery tempers.
Meanwhile, there were still numerous reporters and fans loitering outside. The staff was momentarily at a loss as to what to do.
A few of them rushed forward to hold Lin Li back.
After pulling Lin Li off Lin Che, the two of them turned out to be fine. Lin Che’s body had been hit a few times and her hair was a little messy from having been pulled. Lin Li was in a similar state; apart from the mark on her face from having been slapped, every other part of her body was fine.
However, the two of them were panting heavily from the fight.
From the side, Yang Lingxin said angrily, “Why aren’t you getting rid of people like these quickly? If our Sister Che’s face is injured, can you guys bear the consequences?”
Lin Che hastily tugged at Yang Lingxin. This girl was pretty careless with her words. Lin Che was always worrying that she would say something wrong.
However, the security guards on the set rushed to pull Lin Li away and was about to drag her off.
After all, even though Lin Li had someone backing her up, she was still neither as established nor as famous and recognizable as Lin Che was in this industry.
The Lin Li of today was definitely not the Lin Li of the past.
However, at this moment.
“What’s going on here?”
A female voice suddenly penetrated the air. Everyone turned their heads to look at the source of the sound.
Lu Chuxia was actually here.
