Lin Che nodded.

After taking a picture with her, her fan was extremely happy and greeted her goodbye before leaving.

A little later, the owner of the restaurant also realized that Lin Che was here. Although the restaurant was very famous, it was nevertheless Lin Che’s first time here.

Many celebrities had visited his restaurant, but it was the first time that such a popular celebrity ate here. Thus, he rushed over to her and asked, “Miss Lin Che, can we take a photo together?”

Lin Che smiled very politely and heartily agreed.

The restaurant owner hastily took a photo before chuckling and asking Lin Che, “Miss Lin Che, can we hang the photo over there? It’s the first time we’ve hosted a celebrity as famous as you. It’s really an honor. Everyone likes you so much; they’ll be very happy to see the photo if I hang it up.”

Lin Che knew that this was a form of publicity for the restaurant and did not think anything of it. She nodded in agreement and smiled.

Immediately, the owner said happily, “Your dinner today is on the house.”

Lin Che said, “It’s alright. We should pay for our food. It doesn’t matter. It’s just a photo.”

“It’s not for the photo. Miss Lin Che, you’re such a nice person and I’ve liked you very much for a long time. I’m so glad to have met you today! I must treat you for this meal!”

It was difficult for Lin Che to reject his enthusiasm, so she nodded again in agreement.

She merely sighed and thought to herself that she would probably have to book a private room the next time she went outside to eat.

The strange thing was that no one ever came up to her when she went out with Gu Jingze. However, when she went out alone, for some strange reason, she was recognized.

Of course, she did not know that this was only the case because Gu Jingze had always instructed his bodyguards to make sure that no one came to disturb them. When she came out alone, there were no bodyguards following her and thus, more people dared to come up to her.

Upon seeing this, Yang Lingxin said happily, “Wow, Sister Che. We don’t even have to spend money on food when we come out to eat. It’s good to be a celebrity.”

Lin Che said, “Actually, paying for food is fine. But it was difficult to reject him since he was so enthusiastic.”

The two of them had eaten a sparse meal that did not cost a lot of money.

Yang Lingxin said, “I feel so proud when I go out with Sister Che.”

Lin Che mustered a smile. She was not very interested in what was happening.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, just then, someone came to disturb her again.

Lin Che had not been in a good mood from the start. The person said, “Can I ask if you’re Lin Che?”

Lin Che had barely eaten a few mouthfuls. She lazily answered, “No.”

Hearing this, the woman pursed her lips and looked at her with a reluctant expression. “No way. You’re definitely Lin Che. Why aren’t you admitting it? I’m not a pervert nor am I asking for a picture with you. What are you afraid of?”

Lin Che looked at the woman incredulously. “Yes, I’m Lin Che. If you were already sure of it, why did you still ask? Since you asked, I have the right to choose my answer. I have the freedom to say yes or no.”

The woman huffed after hearing this and said, “Wow. You think you’re amazing just because you’re a celebrity. Seriously. Why are you being so cocky? You still have to rely on us fans to feed you, so you better be more polite to us.”

Was she sure that she was a fan?

“Fine, fine, fine. It’s my fault. I disappointed you. Please don’t be my fan anymore. Thank you.”

Yang Lingxin was also looking at this rare specimen. “Seriously. Who asked for your support?”

Sensing the situation, the woman became even more furious. “Who speaks to their fan like this?!”

Lin Che said, “Alright, Little Xin. Let’s just quickly finish eating our food and leave.”

Yang Lingxin said, “My thoughts exactly. We shouldn’t stoop to the same level as such a strange person.”

The woman was so angry that her face was red. “Ha, now that you’re famous, you’re starting to throw your weight around. I’ll record this and upload it online. Hmph. Don’t regret it when the time comes.”

Lin Che sneered before standing up and saying, “Fine. Record this. Little Xin, you record this too. Record what I’m about to say as well.”

The woman looked in front of her at Lin Che’s imposing manner. Lin Che was taller than her by a head.

Lin Che said, “Listen clearly to what I’m going to say. You’re right, I’m Lin Che. I’m a celebrity, I act on television to entertain everyone. But right now, I’m off work. I’m eating here in my own private time. Although I’m a public figure who should always be careful with my attitude, I’m human too. I get sick, I have my bad days, I have a temper, and I get upset. When you see that I have a bad attitude, you don’t know that perhaps something bad has happened back home. Perhaps something upsetting happened to me and put me in inconsolable pain. Even if I’m a clown, I’m not obliged to smile to you every day. Even a clown has his sad moments! Besides, I didn’t do anything to you at all. I just said that I wasn’t Lin Che. What else did I do? I didn’t hit you, I didn’t curse at you, and I didn’t insult you. But on the contrary, you’re the one who kept insulting me by saying that I’m merely a small celebrity who shouldn’t be throwing her weight around, right?”

Everyone turned around to look at the source of the sound. Apart from being surprised, they were also instantly impressed by Lin Che’s aura.

They instinctively thought that she was undoubtedly Lin Che. She was not an ordinary person at all and not only was she more beautiful than the typical person, but even her manner was also more imposing than the typical person.

The woman realized that Lin Che had indeed not spoken a word against her and that she had been a little unreasonable. However, although she had been completely embarrassed by Lin Che’s words, she was nevertheless anxious to save her pride in front of so many people at this moment.

“Ha, of course, you know how to put it nicely since you’re a celebrity. What are you going to do? Gang up with your fans and hit me? Seriously. They said such nice things about you on television and made you out to be affable and down to earth. But it turns out that it was all a lie. As expected, no one in the entertainment industry is really who they claim to be. I really don’t understand how you became famous. No matter how good-looking you are right now, don’t forget that you’re just an illegitimate daughter and that the whole world knows that you snatched your sister’s fiancé!”

Lin Che really became incensed with anger.

She looked at the woman before her. “Say that again?”

“What? Do you think I’m scared of you? We’ll see if you dare to lay a finger on me. I’m telling you, this shopping mall belongs to my family. If you dare to touch me, I’ll immediately get someone to kick you out. You’re just a small celebrity. Do you really think you’re so impressive? If you met my father, you would’ve approached him so eagerly like a lap dog!”

Yang Lingxin seemed like she was about to go mad with anger. “What did you say? I dare you to say it again.”

Just then, behind her, someone suddenly entered the restaurant.

Lin Che turned around to look.

People bearing the crest of the Gu family had already made their way in.

When the woman saw Lin Che’s face turn pale instantly, she thought that Lin Che was afraid and thus, she spoke arrogantly, “You really thought highly of yourself. You should have been honored that I asked if you were Lin Che.”

However, at this moment, Gu Jingze had already walked through the door.

Everyone in the restaurant looked at the door in surprise.

The woman had already spoken the last of her words. She froze when she raised her head to see Gu Jingze.

Lin Che hastily asked, “Hey, you said that you own this shopping mall, right?”

The woman froze. “What?”

“Then, kick these people out right now and I’ll apologize to you immediately.”

“...” She raised her head and looked at Gu Jingze. Although she had not figured out who he was, she nevertheless felt that he seemed very formidable.

Seeing that the woman did not speak and was merely looking Gu Jingze up and down with a smitten expression, Lin Che quickly said again, “I don’t believe that this shopping mall is yours. I’ll believe you only if you dare to kick him out directly!”
