In reality, Lin Che had not left very far, either. She was worried that something would happen to Xue Yang, so she waited outside for him after letting him go in on his own.
She had been standing for some time when Dongzi came out and said that Wesley had asked Xue Yang to stay here and keep Abby company. Lin Che thought that this was probably a good thing. It meant that he had somehow given them a chance, although she did not know what this chance would bring them.
She said, “In that case, let’s go back here.”
The moment she turned around, she unexpectedly saw Gu Jingze behind her.
Lin Che looked at him in surprise. “Why are you here?”
Gu Jingze alighted from the car and walked towards her. There were many people behind him whom he had brought along.
“You came out alone. Of course, I had to come.”
Lin Che said, “I have so many people with me. Nothing will happen to me.”
Gu Jingze knew that nothing would happen, but he still wanted to see her in the flesh.
He knew that he was probably worrying too much. But when it came to anything involving her, he could not help but worry.
Gu Jingze said, “The location that the Wesley family chose is not bad.”
Lin Che nodded and said, “But now that Xue Yang is staying here, I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing.”
Gu Jingze said, “All of this will depend on their luck.”
Lin Che said, “I thought that foreigners were very open-minded and would not oppose. I didn’t think that the Wesley family was so old-fashioned too.”
Gu Jingze said, “The Wesley family isn’t in the business of new technologies. Those wealthy people who relied on technology to make their fortunes are much more open-minded. The Wesley family has a history of more than a hundred years. They expanded from old Europe to America. In the past, they were also the descendants of aristocrats in Europe. They followed the first group of people who went to America to try their luck. That’s why their way of thinking is actually more old-fashioned than many people in C Nation.”
“Then… isn’t that terrible?” Lin Che asked.
Gu Jingze said, “So, although many of the socialites in America who come out to mix around can have casual fun, when it comes to actually finding a person to marry, they will select a husband very carefully. He must have pretty good qualities and he must bring the family some benefits. They won’t marry just anyone too.”
“What you said seems to be true.”
“Many of those people you speak of who marry according to their wishes are those who have just gotten rich. Alternatively, they may not be the most prominent families, so they’re much more liberal. But the Wesley family…”
“Their family is so impressive. They must be one of the most prominent families.”
“That’s right.”
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze. “Just as the Gu family is the oldest family in C Nation, right?”
Gu Jingze looked at her. “Yes.”
Lin Che shrugged. Even though she did not know much about the Wesley family, she already understood what that meant just by looking at the Gu family.
Gu Jingze wrapped his arm around her. “Alright. Don’t worry about other people’s affairs anymore. You’re a pregnant woman now. The person you should be worried about is yourself.”
Frankly, what was there for Lin Che to worry about? She did not really have any concerns pertaining to her unborn child.
During her first pregnancy, she had thought of buying this and that. However, in the end, all of those things were completely useless.
Until now, Niannian’s things still occupied an entire room, and there was no more space to put them. She could only donate them every year and even then, it seemed that she would have to keep donating them for a long time.
If this baby was a girl, she would not be able to use Niannian’s things too. If he was a boy, she could simply let him use Niannian’s things.
Thus, she did not buy much this time. She would buy a little whenever it occurred to her. The remaining matters related to the nursery room and the baby’s necessities could simply be left to their butler at home.
Lin Che said, “You don’t have to keep me company every day. You can go and deal with your own matters.”
“I want to keep you company,”
Gu Jingze said.
Lin Che don’t, “But won’t our relatives think of me as the bewitching concubine?”
“What bewitching concubine?”
“I mean those… concubines who take up all the attention of the king and keep him from attending morning court sessions.”
Gu Jingze said, “You’re not a concubine and I’m not a king. What bewitching concubine?” He stood firmly and helped Lin Che with her hair.
She looked at him and felt that he was always very handsome when doing these small movements to her.
Gu Jingze said, “What’s more, they can talk if they really want to. I don’t care.”
When he said that he did not care, he was not lying. The calm expression on his face showed that he did not care at all.
Lin Che leaned against him and looked in front before saying, “Let’s go. I actually haven’t been here before.”
This place was considered the outskirts. There were grass fields and forests everywhere. It was very suitable for a stroll.
However, there were too many people following them. She found it a tad too ceremonious.
Fortunately, there weren’t many people here. Otherwise, they would probably stare when they saw this formation.
“Why did you bring so many people here?” Lin Che asked.
Although there were usually people with him, they were not so large in number.
This time, she could tell that Gu Jingze had intentionally brought many people here.
Gu Jingze said, “I provide for them to make use of them. If I don’t use them at a time like this, when will I use them?”
Lin Che said, “But you don’t need to bring so many people either.”
Lin Che smiled and looked at him. She felt that he had really gotten a bit anxious this time.
So many people had been mobilized because she was pregnant. On the contrary, she found it amusing.
Gu Jingze glanced at the back. He did not think that he had gone overboard, although there were quite a number of people.
Probably slightly more than the number of people he brought with him overseas.
His instructions when leaving the house, were to call everyone who was idling around at home.
He asked, “Do you feel uncomfortable seeing them? I’ll tell them to move further away.”
While saying this, Gu Jingze was about to turn around to instruct them.
Lin Che quickly pulled him back.
She looked at him in amusement and said, “Enough, enough. Don’t torment them anymore. Since they’re here, so be it. I’ll take it that they’re here to look at the scenery with us.”
Thus, everyone walked forward as if they really were looking at the scenery, but they were different from other people doing the same.
Lin Che asked, “How’s the situation at home now? Have all the problems in the Gu family been resolved?”
Before this, news of Old Master’s critical condition had leaked out from the family, causing a series of problems. The construction project halted and the other families observed the situation, not daring to make a move.
Now that so much time had passed, it seemed that nothing was happening. But Gu Jingze still had not told her the exact situation.
It was only after seeing the clan relatives come to their house to ask about the situation, that Lin Che recalled these events.
Gu Jingze said, “It’s quite impossible for them to use a simple method like this to wear down Gu Industries. It’s not that easy to rattle the foundations of the Gu family. The point of this was merely to cause unrest so that they could seize the chance to kidnap a hostage, pose a challenge to the president, and make the entire C Nation detest the Gu family.”
Lin Che thought, So there was another intention behind it.
Gu Jingze said, “Everyone else chose to observe and no one dared to get involved. It’s also because many people in C Nation are waiting for something to happen to the Gu family, for something to happen to me. These families have been completely suppressed by the Gu family and haven’t surpassed the Gu family for so many years. Thus, of course they hope that the hierarchy of the wealthy families in C Nation can be shaken so that they could potentially make their mark. Unfortunately, the foundations that have been firm for years can’t be shaken just because they hope that they shake.”
Seen in this light, Lin Che felt that the Gu family really was in grave danger.
It turned out that so many people were waiting for the Gu family to collapse.
It’s lonely at the top. Only now did Lin Che slightly understand what that felt like.
At this moment, Gu Jingze said to her, “There are other things at home that I need you to do soon.”
