Chapter 964: 964. Everyone Trusted Gu Jingze More And More

He was here to take Lin Che to the Gu residence. The new year was arriving and he would definitely have to go back home and attend a gathering.

Niannian had already headed to the Gu residence in advance. Lin Che and Gu Jingze headed there slightly later.

Out of consideration for Lin Che’s health, Gu Jingze did not want her to go so early and be disturbed by so many people.

Lin Che felt that he was being too anxious but it was a fact that she did not like going to the old Gu residence and being surrounded and looked at by so many people.

When they arrived at the old residence, many of the members of the Gu family were already here.

Seeing that Gu Jingze had yet to arrive, the people inside were still mumbling to themselves internally. Now that he was truly in a high position of immense power, it was even more difficult to see him.

Someone informed them that Gu Jingze would arrive slightly later because it was rumored that Gu Jingze’s wife was pregnant and he did not want her to tire herself out.

Everyone felt even more strongly that if this was the case, then his wife would be the more troublesome person.

However, when Lin Che actually arrived, everyone dared not show any hint of unhappiness.

The moment Lin Che entered, she felt that the way everyone was looking at her was completely different.

In the past, they had harbored some unhappiness towards her. However, they were now extraordinarily enthusiastic. They greeted Lin Che in an extremely respectful manner.

Lin Che had no choice but to respond to them one by one. She felt that everyone’s enthusiasm this time was tiring her out even more.

Lin Che could only look at Gu Jingze and ask, “What’s going on?”

Gu Jingze asked, “Why? You’re my wife. It’s normal for them to treat you respectfully too.”

“Alright… I don’t remember them being so enthusiastic in the past.”

Lin Che rubbed her belly. She thought that it probably had something to do with her womb.

This was indeed the case. Everyone had found out about Lin Che’s second pregnancy. Regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl, this was Gu Jingze’s second child. This meant that Lin Che’s position was very stable. Gu Jingze was already extremely doting on her, to begin with. Before this, the maids who had opposed her had been sent away immediately. Now that she was pregnant, it was all the more the case that no one would be allowed to go against her.

Mu Wanqing and their other family members were still around. Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Che, hastily walked over to her, and said, “Dear me. You poor thing. I heard all about what happened to your mother and father. I really didn’t think that our Little Che actually had such a difficult family background. I really feel so bad for you.”

Lin Che pursed her lips and smiled.

She felt that she had already accepted her family background after so many days.

Mu Wanqing said, “But I didn’t expect you to be a child of the Lu family. Ultimately, this is a good thing for you as well. In the future, if you assume the position of the mistress of the Gu family, no one will dare to take you lightly if they know that you’re from the Lu family.”

Lin Che said, “I didn’t think of it that way. Mother, you’re so capable. To be honest, you can still continue being the mistress.”

Mu Wanqing smiled and looked behind. “Silly child. Mother has been doing this for so many years. I got tired a long time ago. On top of that, Qigang just returned. I can go out with him and do many things together. It’s also time for me to hand over the family responsibilities to you.”

“…”

Mu Wanqing said, “Alright. Everyone would burst with joy if they heard that I was going to step down. Why is your expression so terrible? You look as if someone forced you to eat something that tasted bad.”

Lin Che said, “I, I, I, I just feel that I may not know how to do it. But if you really hand it over to me, I will try my best to do it too.”

Mu Wanqing looked at this silly lass, shook her head and said, “What a silly lass you are. The mistress is the most respected person in this family. Other people are all vying for this position, but you don’t even want it.”

Lin Che sighed. “I know that I’m not worthy of it. But since I married Gu Jingze, I will still work hard to learn the things I should know.”

Mu Wanqing said, “Jingze found a good partner too. You’re not greedy for things like these and you don’t care at all about having power or not. That’s why Jingze dotes on you so much. They don’t understand it so of course, they don’t know why Jingze is so dedicated to you. Jingze loves you so much because you’re a good child, which is rare in this world.”

“Mother… my face is all red because of your compliments.”

On Gu Xiande’s end, he sent a token gift as well. Gu Xiande did not enter and merely stayed in the study room to chat with several relatives. Since Gu Jingze had returned, of course, he had to go to the study room to visit Gu Xiande. After entering the study room, he saw that many of his relatives were here. He then smiled and said, “There is so much hustling and bustling at Grandfather’s today. I’m here to greet all of you.”

Everyone looked at Gu Jingze and merely chuckled.

Gu Xiande huffed and said, “You’ve really kept a very high profile recently. But I must remind you, Jingze. Life is full of ups and downs. You must always have a backup plan.”

Gu Jingze said, “Thank you for the reminder, Grandfather. I’ll remember it.”

He looked at Gu Xiande. “But both you and I just want the Gu family to become more and more prosperous. It’s just that we have different ways of doing things.”

Gu Xiande remained silent and looked at him. He narrowed his eyes dangerously but did not speak further.

The relatives present still dared to say a few words when Gu Jingze was not here. How could they have the guts to say anything now?

They had initially thought that Gu Jingze would get in trouble sooner or later if he continued behaving like this. But they did not expect him to act so swiftly and decisively in such a consistent manner, putting these prominent families in good order. Contrary to their expectations, he instead established his reputation and name so quickly.

Gu Xiande merely scoffed. “Fine. I do want to see how far you can take the Gu family.”

Gu Xiande watched as their relatives became more and more respectful towards him. He understood that his heyday was now over. Although he felt a little nonplussed, he could not turn around the situation and stop Gu Jingze’s position in the Gu family from developing stably on an upward trajectory.

Their relatives had initially been slightly worried about Gu Xiande. After seeing Gu Jingze deal with his opponents with an iron fist, they were slowly convinced as well. Although they would still come here and complain to Gu Xiande, their complaints were becoming less and less intense.

Gu Xiande said, “That’s enough. Let’s all leave. There are numerous relatives and close friends still waiting outside.”

Gu Xiande sat in his wheelchair and went out. Everyone crowded around him. When they arrived outside, Lin Che happened to be sitting together with Mu Wanqing. When her eyes met Gu Xiande’s, she stood up and went over to greet him.

Although their relatives had accepted Gu Jingze, the more powerful Gu Jingze was, the more they felt that his wife was not worthy of him. When they looked at Lin Che, they looked a little begrudging. There were some other people whose gazes had a hint of condescension.

Lin Che greeted Gu Xiande, “Grandfather, good to see you.”

Gu Xiande let out a sound of affirmation. Everyone was still staring at her. However, she heard one of the maids come in from outside and say, “Old Master, the Lu family is here to visit.”

Even though the countdown celebrations was a gathering for members of the Gu family, there was nothing wrong with the Lu family attending the gathering since they were related to the Gu family by marriage.

Gu Xiande paused before raising his arm and telling them to invite the Lu family in.

However, the people who came in were Lu Qinyu and Lu Beichen’s family of three. Nearly the whole family was here.

Everyone was still extremely cautious of the Lu family. Even though they were relatives of the Gu family, they understood that the Lu family’s power could not be underestimated. Gu Jingze could say that he was slightly more powerful than them, but his relatives definitely could not match up to the power of the Lu family at all.

Thus, everyone rushed down to greet Lu Qinyu respectfully only to see Lu Qinyu run straight towards Lin Che upon seeing her.

“Little Che. You’re here.”
