Gu Xiande said, “Little Che, is your body alright?” He walked over. Behind him, Yun Luo wore a fitting dress with little lace petals sewn in with transparent threads. She looked very graceful yet elegant.
Yun Luo saw Lin Che and Gu Jingze. She smiled at Lin Che. “Lin Che, hello, we meet again. I was just visiting grandfather and it was a coincidence to meet you here.”
Right, what a coincidence.
Lin Che looked at Gu Xiande. Initially, she wanted to properly speak to him, but she retracted her initial words. She just followed along and smiled. “Grandfather, I am in good health. I am sorry that you had to worry about me.”
Gu Xiande then lowered his head and saw Gu Shinian. When he saw this child, he thought he was seeing a younger Jingze.
Actually, Gu Xiande asked someone to go over to secretly take photographs of him and let him see those secretly taken photos.
Not much could be told from the photos as he did not look exactly like Jingze. But now that he was in front of him, that feeling was very similar to Gu Jingze.
He liked Jingze from when he was young, so he decided on his heir status when he was three. He liked him more than Gu Jingming and more than Gu Jingyu.
Now, he had the same feelings about this child.
Although Gu Jingze was disobedient, he did not disappoint him. The truth was, he had a good eye. He could tell since Gu Jingze was young that this child would have a bright future. Now, looking at Gu Shinian, he had the same feelings.
This child would have a bright future, not any worse than his father.
Of course, he felt remorse about his actions towards his great-grandson but he had no choice back then. In retrospect, if he went back to that time, he would have probably done the same thing. Furthermore, knowing how Gu Jingze would have counterattacked with such intensity, his actions might have been even more severe.
But that was him as the head of a family. What he had to do for the family was something he had extremely regretted as a grandfather.
He was such an adorable child. He also wanted to be his great grandfather and watch him show filial respect.
He said, “Child, Niannian, good, the same as young Jingze. Little Che, you gave birth to a good son.”
Lin Che had such good luck. She met such a good man like Jingze whom wholeheartedly supported her. Now, the child she gave birth to was obviously different from the rest. In the future, he would definitely protect his mother and watch her live a healthy long life.
Gu Xiande had to give in.
However, Gu Xiande glanced sideways to judge Yun Luo who was behind him.
He smiled and said, “Yun Luo here would not interrupt us. As she was here as a guest, we can continue having our dinner.”
Lin Che thought, Right. There were no disruptions whatsoever, just that Gu Xiande wanted to be a matchmaker and make Yun Luo more clingy to Gu Jingze.
Although Gu Xiande was not the head of the family anymore, it was still his house. So what if he wanted to invite one of two people to his house? No one could argue against that.
Who one could shoo Yun Luo away?
Looking at Lin Che at the side, Gu Jingze spoke first, “It’s fine. Yun Luo is considered my friend too. If she wants to be your guest then she will be your guest. It’s no big deal.”
As Gu Jingze spoke, he looked up and asked Mu Wanqing, “Mother, it is time for dinner, right? Let’s eat. I am hungry.”
“Oh, yes yes, of course.”
At the table.
Yun Luo sat there and stared at Lin Che and Gu Jingze. “By the way Jingze, I got someone to help me get a tie from Paris this time. I always wanted to give it to you but I didn’t have the chance to.”
While she spoke, she glanced at Lin Che who was at the side as if she was saying Lin Che was the one not giving her the chance.
Who did she think she was? Give her a chance? Hmph.
And give my man a tie.
Was she not making things difficult for Lin Che in public?
Lin Che peered at the tie. It was red with floral prints. How uncouth, hmph.
Gu Jingze said, “I have a lot of these things at home. Don’t bother next time.”
Yun Luo said, “No trouble. It is no trouble at all. These are what I want to do. After all, you helped me so much. My heart problems still need your help, so count it as a gift of gratitude.”
Gu Jingze scanned the tie but did not receive it.
Gu Xiande frowned. “Jingze, Luoluo spent a lot of effort to give you, so just keep it. It is just a tie. Do you think Lin Che will be not happy about it? You are just friends with Yun Luo. The two of you don’t have any special relationship. If you do this, it will seem like you two are purposely hiding something.”
“Right, just take it. It’s just a tie.” Lin Che took a deep breath and spoke after looking at Gu Xiande.
Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che and said, “Okay, since my wife said so. Thank you.”
“…”
Everyone at the table almost spit out their food.
Even the maids at the side were equally shocked.
This sentence really came out of Gu Jingze’s mouth?
Gu Jingze had always been a prideful person. He never showed any weakness and said an unnecessary word to anyone.
Since when did he learn to beat around the bush?
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze. What was he saying?! And in front of so many people.
Lin Che looked at how everyone’s mouths were so wide that flies would have had no problem entering. She kicked Gu Jingze’s leg under the table hard. Could he not make other people dislike her for nothing?
Yun Luo had already stopped talking. She silently ate, bowing her head like an angry little wife.
This meal was a little uncomfortable.
After dinner, Lin Che quickly rinsed her mouth and left.
After she returned, everyone returned to what they were doing initially.
Lin Che saw from the external window that Gu Jingze was in the waiting room.
She saw the tie Yun Luo gave on the table at the front. She felt very angry. Great! He really took it?
She walked in, full of rage. She looked at Gu Jingze with narrowed eyes like a cat, full of anger.
“Gu Jingze!” She put her hands on her hips and stood there as if she was going to punish him for a crime.
Gu Jingze said, “Nice timing. Come here. There are fruits here. Having fruits after dinner is good for your digestion.”
“Oh, so you also know I have indigestion today.” Lin Che walked over, her expression full of resentment.
“Oh?” Gu Jingze raised his head and looked at her, really thinking that she had indigestion. “What happened to you?”
Lin Che slapped away his hand and said, “Take your gift from sister Yun and go away. Don’t touch me. An uncouth person like me cannot compare to a fresh beauty like your sister Yun.”
Gu Jingze froze and then a bright smile appeared on his face. He squeezed her pouting mouth. “Your jealous face is weirdly exquisite.”
As her mouth was in his hands, she flattened her mouth like a duck and scoffed. “Ah, painful.”
Gu Jingze quickly released his hands after hearing that.
He quickly looked down at Lin Che’s mouth, face full of horror and frustration. “Did I use too much force? Sorry, let me take a look. Where is it painful?”
