Chapter 1337 - Let’s Hide From The Rain Together

Xue Mengqi returned to her room and looked at the person in front of her furiously.

Everyone was still feeling glad that Black Eagle and Li Mingyu had finally left.

“Mengqi, in the future, you should ask clearly before taking action. Look, things may turn out like they did today. You may suddenly provoke someone whom you shouldn’t offend.”

Xue Mengqi listened to the clan relatives in front of her nag. Then, she looked up. “Grandfather Fan, is there anyone whom the Gu family shouldn’t offend?”

“I’m not saying there are people we shouldn’t offend. What I mean is to look at those two people. If you go head to head with them, you would literally be injuring a thousand members of your enemy and eight hundred of your own. They’re usually capable of anything. There’s no reason to fight with them.”

“Exactly, exactly.” Someone else also added, “Let’s just forget about this kindergarten. It’s just a tiny kindergarten. I didn’t think that this Lin Che even had such tricks up her sleeve.”

“Precisely. Ordinary people definitely wouldn’t think of this. Just think about it. By seizing these children and slowly nurturing them, all of them will be her people in the future. On top of that, because of the children, those adults will also be on good terms with her. Am I right?”

“That’s right, that’s right. That’s how social connections are made. No wonder Lin Che can keep a firm hold on Gu Jingze. She simply has so many tricks up her sleeve.”

“Even Li Mingyu can be on such good terms with her. Back then, they were enemies too. But now, they’ve even become friends. You can clearly see that this is the case.”

Hearing them speak in favor of Lin Che, the anger in Xue Mengqi’s heart was about to set her rationality on fire.

If they continued letting things develop this way, were they going to regret the division of the family?

No way.

Xue Mengqi thought that she definitely had to do something.

“Actually, we don’t have to innovate. No matter what it is, if they can do it, we can also do it.” Xue Mengqi smiled. “Even she can do it with that little bit of power she has. Of course, we can do it. Why don’t we just do this in the future? Whatever she does, we’ll do. Then we’ll be fine.”

“That would lower our status so much.” The clan relatives below still wanted to preserve their pride.

Xue Mengqi smiled. “This is the easiest way and the best way to minimize mistakes. We can even make it so that she won’t be able to do anything about it. We’ll snatch her rice bowl and she will only be able to worry helplessly.”

Everyone thought she was right too.

Xue Mengqi smiled and said, “Lin Che is nothing. Given the Gu family’s power, we can do anything.”

—

On the other side.

After handling matters at the kindergarten, Lin Che felt incredibly tired.

She also felt slightly comforted at seeing that the kindergarten had regained a lot of its liveliness.

Several parents were still curious. They did not know what exactly had happened.

The teachers also took great pains to console these parents.

Lin Che felt a little tired, so she dismissed them first.

“Dong Zi, no need to follow me. I’ll walk around on my own.”

Dong Zi said, “Miss... will you be in danger?”

“Don’t worry. I brought a disguise. No one will see me.”

There were always so many people following her around. She occasionally wanted to relax for a bit.

Dong Zi had no choice but to nod his head.

Lin Che wore a cap and put on a mask as she walked on the streets. She looked at the side. The children were currently being dismissed from school. Some parents were waiting there while chatting and waiting to pick up their children.

The weather changed slightly all of a sudden. It seemed as if it was about to rain. There were rumbling sounds of thunder.

Lin Che looked on. She pressed her cap down and continued to walk.

If she had not met Gu Jingze, perhaps she would have been forced to death by the Lin family. She would have found an ordinary person and married him just like that, to live a peaceful life.

In reality, a peaceful life like that was very good too. But without Gu Jingze...

But when she thought of waking up to another man besides her, having meals with another man across her, she felt that she would be unable to bear a life like that.

Thus, it was better not to think about it. She had chosen the present. She had chosen Gu Jingze. Since this was the case, she could tolerate all fatigue.

Just then, she saw a man beside her nagging at his wife.

“Look. You didn’t pick up our child. You were late by so many minutes.”

The woman said indignantly, “It was just a few minutes.”

“It’s about to rain. What if our child gets wet by the rain? The streets are also difficult to walk after it rains.”

“But it hasn’t rained yet.”

“It’s all your fault. You’re at home all day with nothing to do at all. It’s just a few minutes, but you couldn’t even come earlier.”

“What do you mean I have nothing to do? Apart from going to work, don’t I have to do everything else?”

“Ha. Am I not tired of earning money? Why don’t you give it a try? Try supporting an entire family.”

“Why don’t you try looking after the kids? There are so many other trifles too. Hmph. I’m telling you, you won’t be able to endure it for even a day.”

“Hey. What trifles? Don’t you have nothing to do after sending our child to the kindergarten?”

“Hmph. I can’t explain it to you.”

The two of them argued loudly while going to fetch their child. Lin Che looked at their backs and thought to herself that perhaps the situation had not calmed down yet...

Although she kept feeling as if she was completely useless, Gu Jingze always felt that she was great. He could never bear for her to do anything. He definitely would not reprimand her like this either.

In comparison to other men, Gu Jingze was very different. Putting aside other things, other men seemed to feel that women had nothing to do all the time. But Gu Jingze had always felt that she would be tired if she did even a bit of anything.

She shook her head helplessly. Ultimately, Gu Jingze treated her way too well.

Lin Che smiled even wider as she thought about it.

Just then, pea-sized droplets started raining down from the sky, hitting her face so hard that it started hurting.

Lin Che hastily walked straight ahead.

Her phone started ringing. She took a look and saw that it was Gu Jingze.

She quickly answered the call.

“Lin Che, it’s raining. Dong Zi said that you went out alone for a stroll. Did you not bring an umbrella?”

Lin Che nodded. “Yes. I didn’t bring one.”

After a moment of silence, Gu Jingze said, “Where are you? I’ll go and pick you up.”

“Near Wan Hong Building.”

“Alright. I’m coming over now.”

Lin Che stood there and waited. After some time, a Benz quietly drove towards her.

Gu Jingze alighted from the car.

Lin Che did not remember having this car at home. From the looks of it, it probably cost more than a million dollars. It was probably not Gu Jingze’s. “Where did you get this car?” she asked.

Gu Jingze shut the car door. “It’s Qin Hao’s.”

Oh...

Alright then.

Outsiders would probably feel envious that all of Gu Jingze’s assistants drove cars like these that cost millions.

However, after being by Gu Jingze’s side for so many years, Qin Hao’s net worth was quite high.

Gu Jingze opened his umbrella and asked, “Are we going back now?”

Lin Che said, “Forget it. Since we’re already out, let’s take a walk. It’s so rare that they’re not following us around.”

Strolling in the rain was also a kind of mood.

Gu Jingze smiled. He held the umbrella and walked straight ahead with his arm around her.

Lin Che leaned into his embrace, feeling that his scent seemed to have become much stronger in the rain.

When she glanced askance, she saw that all the rain was falling onto his shoulder. Because the umbrella was tilted towards her, she was not wet all. On the other hand, he was completely wet.

The rain immediately became even heavier.

She said, “We should look for a place to hide from the rain.”
