Chapter 353 - He Trusted Her All The Time

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Nobody would dare to, and could not, really do anything to Lin Che.

Especially not after Gu Jingze said that.

How could anyone do anything with how Gu Jingze protected her?

Everyone was only a little resentful. They thought that he was a little too disrespectful, too tyrannical, and presumptuous. He still stood by Lin Che’s side even though Lu Chuxia was getting bullied.

But they only dared to curse silently and none of them dared to say it out loud. Although everyone all thought that Gu Jingze was very presumptuous, none of them dared to voice it out.

But it was clear now that Gu Jingze indeed had the grounds to be so presumptuous.

Lin Che looked gratefully at Gu Jingze, lifting her head up to gaze at him in disbelief.

He actually protected her like this in front of so many people.

At that moment, she felt extremely touched.

No one had ever treated her this way. Nobody had ever chosen to believe her without hesitation and chosen to stand by her side to protect her. Not even her own father had done that.

But the man in front of her actually did it.

Gu Jingze’s attitude instantly eradicated all her suffering and frustration caused by their accusations. Lin Che also didn’t care what these people thought about her. All she cared about was that Gu Jingze stood by her side.

So, whatever these people thought of didn’t matter anymore.

The person she cared most about remained at her side.

As Gu Jingze spoke, he put an arm around Lin Che’s shoulder and took her away.

Lu Chuxia was furious. She watched the two of them leave and could only feel outraged. She almost wanted to explode.

Remembering that she was still surrounded by people, she forced herself to suppress her anger.

Gu Jingyan admired her brother very much for being so protective of his own woman.

She glanced at Lu Beichen, grunted, and left.

Lu Beichen initially only wanted to come over and take a look. Now, he was furious because of Gu Jingyan’s attitude.

He really started to regret thinking that he could actually spend a lifetime with Gu Jingyan. He was purely digging a grave for himself to actually marry Gu Jingyan. Now, he was suffering the consequences. She could easily make him want to burst with rage.

Only she had this kind of ability. She was simply an expert in angering him.

But Fu Chenxi was always so obedient and understanding. She would never have been so arrogant and domineering.

This Gu Jingyan...

Lu Beichen also left after that. He turned back to look at Lu Chuxia, shook his head, and didn’t say anything else.

She caused this on her own. She knew that the Lu family couldn’t possibly go against Gu Jingze over such a trivial matter. Gu Jingze’s temper was always bad too and was not one to be trifled with. Yet, she still sought her own death.

At least, she had no lack of people who cared about her.

The people beside her saw that everybody else left. Lu Chuxia looked at them and bit her lower lip pitifully, “Forget it. Jingze is right. That is his woman and he must protect her no matter what.”

A person beside her heard this and got angry. They comforted Lu Chuxia, “Forget it, Chuxia. Gu Jingze is shielding her. He knows that Lin Che is at fault.”

“Exactly. Gu Jingze is relying on the Gu family’s power, so he thinks that nobody dares to do anything to him.”

“That Lin Che is really a thorn the flesh. Gu Jingze would never have done such a thing in the past. Is he really so unreasonable because of a woman now?”

“Ultimately, it’s all that woman’s fault. She’s really not understanding. Indeed, we shouldn’t find women if they are commoners.”

“Yes. Gu Jingze is such an intelligent person. He’ll come around sooner or later. Miss Chuxia, that woman can’t compare to you. Don’t be angry. It’s not worth getting upset over such a person.”

They watched everyone leave and since they wouldn’t be able to hear anything, they quickly spoke in front of Lu Chuxia.

They really looked down on that woman. No matter how she was, she couldn’t compare to Lu Chuxia who was pretty and came from a wealthy family with might and power. However, she was still Gu Jingze’s woman and they didn’t dare to say such things in front of him.

But now, it didn’t matter.

Hearing so many people comfort her and thinking that they made sense, Lu Chuxia then forced herself to nod her head. She looked at these people, secretly thinking that none of them could ever compare to Gu Jingze. However, all these people were men and they liked her very much. This proved that Gu Jingze didn’t have any reason not to like her. She was still a popular and charming woman.

Lin Che left with Gu Jingze. As they were walking out, Lin Che looked up cautiously at Gu Jingze, “Is it alright for you to say all those just now?”

Gu Jingze said, “It’s fine. What issues would there be?”

“They wouldn’t fall out with you, right?”

“If they dared to, they wouldn’t have just watched me speak just now,” Gu Jingze replied.

Lin Che speechlessly said, “You are really... Don’t be so domineering next time. It won’t do you good. What if you fall out...”

Gu Jingze said proudly, “Do you think that I’d do something unreliable? Relax, I’m not you. I naturally won’t do something that I am not sure of.”

“...” Lin Che glared at Gu Jingze, “Can you not be so narcissistic?”

But he was really certain of himself. The Gu family was so strong that nobody dared to oppose him.

He was really a strong and overbearing man.

Lin Che shook her head at how unscrupulous he was.

However, she still looked at Gu Jingze, “But do you really trust me that much? Do you really think that I wouldn’t push her down for no reason?”

“That’s right.”

“But what if I was actually a bad woman? What if I did it on purpose and then pretended to be innocent in front of you?” Lin Che asked.

Gu Jingze looked closely at Lin Che, sighed, and then said, “If you really get that intelligent one day, I probably wouldn’t be so worried about you getting bullied too.”

“...” Lin Che speechlessly retorted, “Please, I’m being genuine. I don’t like being pretentious.”

Gu Jingze looked at her, “In any case, I believe that you’re not that kind of person.”

Lin Che’s heart moved, “What if there really was evidence proving that I did something bad?”

“Then that evidence must be fake too.”

“You would still believe me unconditionally?”

“That’s right.”

Lin Che’s heart was filled with warmth. She looked at Gu Jingze and then reached out to grab his arm. She smiled from ear to ear as she walked on with him.

Gu Jingze smiled as he watched her run over to him. He put an arm around her and said, “Come on. I’ll take you to choose a horse.”

“Ah, really? But aren’t the horses here expensive? I can’t afford one.”

“Take it as a gift from me,” he said.

“That won’t be nice, hehe,” her greediness showed all over her face.

Gu Jingze replied, “Silly, what’s mine is yours.”

“Oh my, don’t say that. You have so much money and if it’s all mine, I’d be too distressed,” Lin Che said.

“Distressed over what?”

“Distressed over me dying before I can spend all the money. I would be dying for nothing.”

“...” Gu Jingze laughed as he lifted Lin Che up.
