Yang Lingxin’s eyes swept across the wardrobe. From behind, Yu Minmin pulled out a yellow gown and said, “I think this looks nice. It’s classy, elegant but not too outstanding. It should be a great choice for meeting the family.”
Lin Che looked and thought that it was not bad as well. She quickly tried it on.
The small, yellow dress made her look a lot more refreshed. Yu Minmin smiled from behind and said, “Actually, you’re very pretty so you look good in anything, especially since your skin is so fair.”
Yang Lingxin smiled and looked at her, “Yes, Sister Che. You’re so pretty. No wonder President Gu dotes on you so much.”
Yu Minmin said from behind, “President Gu dotes on Lin Che because they are a married couple. Furthermore, President Gu really likes her. It has nothing to do with whether she’s pretty or not.”
Yang Lingxin heard this and quickly said, “I’m sorry, Sister Che. That’s not what I meant.”
Lin Che laughed, “No need to be so serious. We’re all just joking.”
After choosing her clothes, it was about time and the three of them left together. Outside, Lin Che had someone send the two of them back while she went to the meeting place.
Yang Lingxin and Yu Minmin sat in the bodyguard’s car and left. Yang Lingxin turned her head back and stared at the house that was becoming further and further away. She stared for a long time.
At the restaurant.
Gu Jingze reached the place first and saw Gu Jingyan already sitting there. However, there was another person beside but it was not her boyfriend Lu Beichen. Instead, it was a girl who looked rather familiar.
Gu Jingze glanced at the girl and called out, “Jingyan.”
Gu Jingyan got up and said, “Second Brother, you’re early. Where is Sister-in-law?”
“Not here yet,” Gu Jingze did not say a word more and simply sat down.
The woman beside Gu Jingyan kept staring at Gu Jingze. After a while, she finally said, “Ah, Jingze, don’t you recognize me? You didn’t greet me when you saw me.”
Gu Jingze looked up at her,” You are...”
The woman said unhappily, “You have indeed forgotten. When we were young, I often came over to your house to play!”
Gu Jingyan laughed and said, “Second Brother, she is Lu Chuxia, Beichen’s sister. Have you forgotten?”
Gu Jingze quickly recalled, “It’s you.”
“That’s right. I thought you really forgot about me,” Lu Chuxia laughed and looked at Gu Jingze. Her eyes glistened.
Knowing who she was, Gu Jingze no longer looked at her that coldly. He smiled and said, “How can I forget? You’re my savior after all.”
Hearing this, she burst out laughing, “Good that you know!”
Just then, Gu Jingyan recalled, “Oh right, I remember when we went to the Arctic Ocean and met with an overseas ambush. It was extremely dangerous and Chuxia pushed you into the water to prevent you from being shot to death.”
Gu Jingze smiled a little and nodded, “That’s right.”
Gu Jingyan continued, “After that, the security measurements got a lot stronger and you lost a lot of your freedom. But it was really dangerous at that time, so it was better if you had more people with you.”
Gu Jingze said, “Thank you, but we were still young then. Now, you’re all grown up and I didn’t recognize you just now. I apologize for that.”
“Yeah, we haven’t met in years. I’m not the only one who changed. You’ve changed too. I was just talking to Jingyan about how you are now... I didn’t expect you to marry someone other than Mo Huiling.”
Her gaze fell on his face and she looked deeply at him.
Gu Jingze said, “Nothing is permanent.”
“But I heard from Jingyan that you were forced by the family to marry at the beginning.”
Gu Jingze plainly picked up his teacup and took a light sip. He glanced at Gu Jingyan.
Jingyan quickly said, “I must please my future sister-in-law a little.”
Lu Chuxia smiled and said, “Yeah, we’re all going to be one family in the future.”
But Gu Jingze stood up, “I’m going to see if Lin Che is here yet.”
The two of them watched Gu Jingze leave. Lu Chuxia said, “Your second brother doesn’t seem to want to see me.”
Gu Jingyan asked, “How can that be? My Second Brother has always been like that. It’s not like you don’t know.”
“I know, but... Your sister-in-law is apparently an actress?” she asked and looked at Gu Jingyan.
Gu Jingyan said, “That’s right. She’s an actress. What about it?”
Lu Chuxia said, “Nothing. I just didn’t think that your family would actually agree to their marriage.”
“My family doesn’t care about that and Second Brother has a special situation. My sister-in-law is actually a good person and we are all rather fond of her. After she came in, the family became a lot livelier and Second Brother also became more active,” Gu Jingyan really liked Lin Che, so she was full of praise.
“I only remember that Gu Jingze and Mo Huiling were together long ago. I thought that he was a really loyal man and would never let go of Mo Huiling. I didn’t think that he would marry someone else. It’s clear that he actually doesn’t really have strong feelings for Mo Huiling.”
“What exactly are you getting at?” Gu Jingyan looked at her and asked.
Lu Chuxia said, “What if I told you that I want to chase after your second brother?”
“Ew, forget it,” Gu Jingyan almost spat her drink out. “My Second Brother is so traditional and you want to go after him? Are you crazy? Also, he’s already married to a wife.”
“Well, it’s not true love and they might divorce one day. We all have the freedom to love and today is not the first day that I’ve liked your second brother, I just never had the chance. Now that he’s already broken up with Mo Huiling, why wouldn’t he choose me? After all, we are of similar status and we know each other. It’s better than some stranger that he only knew for a short time, right?”
Gu Jingyan shook her head, “Whatever you say, but I’m certain that you’ll never succeed.”
“How would you know? Wasn’t it the same for you and my brother? You never thought that it would be possible but now, you’re going to get married soon.”
Gu Jingyan paused and her expression stiffened. She didn’t smile for a long time.
Lu Chuxia said, “Alright, future Sister-in-law. That whatever girlfriend that my brother had in the past is already history. Don’t take it to heart.”
Gu Jingyan only looked up at Lu Chuxia, “Some people will never be history. You may not get it now, but you may in the future.”
Lu Chuxia said, “Human effort is the decisive factor and it is a fair competition.”
She looked at the time, “It’s getting late. I’ll go first and not disturb your meal.”
Gu Jingyan looked at Lu Chuxia. Actually, she could understand that people like her were all too confident.
Perhaps it was because they never lost anything major since they were young. However, being too confident and acting too strong... was not a good thing. But her warning for Lu Chuxia was probably useless. Any experienced person would know her. She never faced a wall and she always thought that she was invincible.
She said, “You want to pursue my second brother? Haven’t you seen my sister-in-law?”
“No. What she’s like is actually not a big concern to me. I only care about your second brother, not her.”
She took her bag and turned to leave.
