Lin Che smiled again. She was so far away that she might not be familiar with the place, so he said, "Sorry, I married into the family, so I don't know as much as the relatives who have lived in the Gu family for a long time."
The girl revealed her white teeth with a little bit of canine teeth. When she smiled, she looked very amiable. Her teeth were just enough to reveal a standard smile.
"My name is Xue Mengqi. You can call me Mengqi."
"Mengqi … hello."
She pointed inside and said, "Cousin-in-law, Auntie is inside. If you want to find her, you can go in and have a look."
"Okay, thank you."
Lin Che said politely. He looked at her and walked in.
Behind him, everyone was still laughing and chatting, as if they were very familiar with Xue Mengqi.
However, before Lin Che entered, he heard someone calling out to him, saying that the teacher was here.
It was Gu Jingze who had heard the news. He did not know when he found out, but he rushed over immediately.
Lin Che stopped in his tracks and quickly turned his head around.
Gu Jingze had already entered the room. He spotted Lin Che among the female guests and immediately walked over to him.
When everyone saw Gu Jingze come in, they stood at the top out of respect for the family head. Gu Jingze had already proved that his position as the family head was unshakable, especially when Gu Xiande was sick and no one knew when he would pass away. Gu Jingze's position was even more unshakable.
Seeing Gu Jingze come in, Xue Mengqi quickly stood up and looked in his direction. "Cousin, you're here. I haven't seen you in a long time. I just came back. I know you're busy, so I didn't greet you. I hope you don't mind."
Gu Jingze turned around and looked at Xue Mengqi.
However, he quickly came up to Lin Che and said, "Why didn't you tell me that you're here?"
Lin Che said, "I just wanted to come and have a look. It's not a big deal, is it?"
Gu Jingze sighed and looked at Lin Che as if he was an idiot. He took Lin Che's hand and asked her to follow behind him. Then, he looked at Xue Mengqi.
"Oh, Mengqi, you're back."
Xue Mengqi was a little embarrassed, but she quickly recovered. She looked at Lin Che and Gu Jingze and said, "Yes, I thought you didn't recognize me."
"How could that be? We're all relatives, how could we not know each other?"
Only then did Xue Mengqi look at Gu Jingze and smile. This cousin of hers, after not seeing him for so many years, had become even more handsome. The coldness in his eyes was hard to conceal the charm of maturity. His handsome face was so handsome that it caused people to sigh in admiration.
Logically speaking, many men would gain weight after marriage, and after having children, they would become even more decadent.
However, Gu Jingze was still as dashing and handsome as he had been for many years. It seemed that time had left only sexiness and charm on his face and body, without leaving any scars.
Everyone naturally liked good-looking people, and everyone wanted the other party to like them. So seeing that her busy cousin still had an impression of her, Xue Mengqi was also very happy.
"I thought cousin didn't recognize me anymore." She took a step forward coquettishly.
However, Gu Jingze immediately dodged. He pulled Lin Che and said, "Alright, you guys talk first. Lin Che's body isn't very good, I'll take him to rest."
Xue Mengqi stopped and looked at Lin Che. She smiled gently and said, "Then cousin, take Cousin-in-law to do her work first. We still have time to talk anyway."
Xue Mengqi watched Lin Che leave with Gu Jingze.
No one said a word, and they just watched Gu Jingze leave.
Xue Mengqi looked at their backs. It was her first time seeing Lin Che in person, and she had to admit that Lin Che was indeed good-looking.
However, she still made people feel uncomfortable standing next to Gu Jingze.
Perhaps, this kind of man would make people feel uncomfortable if he belonged to any woman. Even if she was just a relative, she definitely wouldn't have anything to do with Gu Jingze.
The two of them were not related by blood, but in a rich and powerful family, reputation, seniority, and relationships were still important.
So she definitely couldn't have anything to do with Gu Jingze, and she didn't come back for this.
But even so, seeing Gu Jingze standing with another woman, she still felt it was a pity.

Lin Che was pulled out by Gu Jingze.
He carefully put a coat on her. Seeing that she came here in thin clothes, he grumbled, "Those people around you haven't been punished enough yet, have they?"
Lin Che said, "Since they're people around me, of course they have to listen to me. If they listen to you, are they still people around me?"
Gu Jingze paused. Then, he reached out and pinched her cheek. "You're getting more and more daring. You even dare to talk to me like this."
Lin Che smiled and shrunk into his embrace. "You're spoiling me."
Lin Che really knew how to act coquettishly, and she didn't act pretentious at all.
With that said, Gu Jingze wasn't angry anymore. Instead, he strangely felt a sense of pride, and his satisfaction was obvious.
Gu Jingze said, "Yes, I spoiled you!"
Lin Che smiled and raised her head to look at Gu Jingze. She felt that this man was really amusing. She didn't think so in the past, but now she felt that his anger seemed to disappear immediately when she said a few soft words.
She knew that this was all because he spoiled her, loved her, and treated her well. Therefore, she felt satisfied and sweet to be treated so gently by him.
She raised her head and said, "How's Grandpa?"
Gu Jingze hugged her, his hand still touching her waist. "He hasn't woken up yet after the operation."
Lin Che frowned and said, "Ah, what should we do then?"
Gu Jingze said, "The doctor said that all his vital signs are normal. But whether he can wake up or not depends on his perseverance. After all, he's different from ordinary patients at his age." Gu Jingze nodded. Gu Jingze nodded.
"Doesn't that mean that it still depends on God's will?"
"That's right." Gu Jingze let go of Lin Che and looked ahead. "We're still keeping this news under wraps for now. The operation was very successful. We're just waiting for Old Master to wake up, so you don't have to worry too much. Life and death are fated, and we've done what we should. I'm just worried that if something happens now, you can only stay at home and rest well."
Of course, Lin Che understood that he was also thinking about her safety. If anything happened to the child in her belly, she would definitely be very sad. She didn't want that to happen.
"Don't worry. If something really happens, I'll be obedient. Just do what you need to do and don't worry about me."
"I know." He turned back, pressed her down, and kissed her gently on the forehead.
Lin Che said, "I don't think I've seen Xue Mengqi before."
