Qin Qing's eyes lit up the moment she saw Lin Che.
Lin Che was still so slender. Even though she was pregnant, her figure did not appear bloated. Her fresh face carried a hint of a smile, but she was no longer the innocent and naive little girl from before. At this moment, she looked gentle and elegant, and every move she made carried a bit of a noble aura. It made people feel like she was a white pearl in the water, glowing with a soft light, yet appearing very imposing.
He didn't look as irascible as he used to be. Although he was still very lively when he walked, he had an air of superiority about him that made people unconsciously feel inferior.
Even though she didn't show any arrogance, her arrogance was already in her bones. That was because the current her was full of confidence and love. She didn't lack attention, and she didn't crave for attention and love. She was free to be herself, and she didn't need to care about other people's feelings anymore.
This made her look like an orchid in an empty valley. She had a serene aura, and people could see her from afar.
Lin Che wore a long dress and a shawl to cover his belly. Yu Minmin, who was beside him, was dressed more casually. Because his belly was too big, he walked a little crooked.
Lin Che supported Yu Minmin. He looked up and saw Xue Mengqi. However, he narrowed his eyes and noticed the person standing beside Xue Mengqi …
It was actually Qin Qing.
Xue Mengqi had already walked over. She smiled at Lin Che and said, "Big Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, you're here."
Lin Che's eyes were still fixed on Qin Qing.
Qin Qing was a little different from before. She was still handsome, but her expression was a lot more gloomy. She looked more mature, and her face was weathered, but she had the demeanor of a CEO.
But she still looked like Qin Qing.
Xue Mengqi immediately held Qin Qing's arm and said, "Let me introduce you to my boyfriend, Qin Qing. Qin Qing, come and greet her."
Qin Qing's eyes paused. She looked at the two and said, "Hello, Cousin-in-law."
Lin Che felt even worse. Why did it feel weird to hear Qin Qing call her Cousin-in-law?
But looking at Qin Qing like that, it seemed like she didn't want Lin Che to reveal their relationship. Lin Che's eyes moved. He wasn't as silly as he used to be. He naturally knew how to read people's expressions, so he smiled and said, "Hello."
Qin Qing extended his hand and shook it, looking very gentlemanly.
Lin Che shook his hand briefly.
Xue Mengqi had a smile on her face. She looked at Qin Qing and was very happy. She could tell that Xue Mengqi really loved Qin Qing.
Lin Che blinked his eyes and didn't say anything. He just looked at the pair and felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.
Qin Qing stood there, looking like a gentleman. Xue Mengqi said, "Qin Qing, the house is so big. I'll show you around. Let's not disturb the two sisters-in-law. It's important for them to take care of their babies, so they can't walk around too much."
Lin Che looked at the two of them and said, "You guys do whatever you want, don't worry about us."
Xue Mengqi smiled and walked away with Qin Qing in her arms.
After watching the two of them leave, Yu Minmin looked at Lin Che and said, "What the hell was that?"
She couldn't hold it in anymore. She thought that Xue Mengqi's boyfriend, who was rumored to be brought here today, was actually Qin Qing. Wasn't he Lin Che's former classmate and Lin Li's fiancé?
Lin Che said, "I'm not sure either … but it seems like Qin Qing doesn't want Xue Mengqi to know about our relationship."
Yu Minmin said speechlessly, "I really feel like I'm going to go blind. But Xue Mengqi is really amazing. She even managed to hook up with such a young and fresh meat."
Lin Che only sighed and said, "I haven't contacted Qin Qing in a long time. I just saw him come out for a while a while ago. I don't know how he's doing now."
Yu Minmin said, "He should be doing well now. The Qin Group is doing very well under his leadership. Recently, he's been called a rising star. When he's free, he'll go on TV and be mentioned. A lot of people think that he's handsome and capable. They named him and three other pretty good guys as the 'Four Young Masters of Capital'. It's very impressive. Many fangirls are lining up to sleep with him."
There was such a thing.
"Also." Yu Minmin continued, "You probably haven't been on his Weibo. Under his Weibo, there are thousands of comments about anything he posts. He's not a celebrity, but he's even better than one. Because a lot of netizens like this kind of financial handsome guy."
Okay, the world was changing too quickly. She didn't notice that Qin Qing already had his own title.
Yu Minmin was well taken care of. There were many people inside. Lin Che could see from afar that Qin Qing was being praised. It seemed that everyone was very satisfied with him.
Just then, Gu Jingze called.
He would call her before going to bed every night, and the two of them would chat for a while.
Today, he probably knew that she was coming to the old mansion, so he called a lot earlier.
Lin Che picked up the phone. "Aren't you busy today?"
Gu Jingze said, "Yeah, not really."
However, Lin Che could hear that he was typing furiously on the phone.
Her heart ached for a moment, feeling that he was really working hard.
And even though he was so busy, he still had to take care of her time. He called her every day and remembered everything she did clearly. He knew that she would be coming to the old mansion today, so he specially called her at this time.
Lin Che said, "If you're busy, you can ignore me for now."
"I'm not busy. I'm just reading some information. Did you go home?"
"Yeah."
"Did Xue Mengqi go home today?"
"Yeah, they told you all about it," Lin Che said.
Gu Jingze grunted and stopped typing. He seemed to be leaning against something.
Lin Che said, "I only found out today that Xue Mengqi's boyfriend is actually Qin Qing. Did you know?"
"Oh, someone told me before," Gu Jingze said.
One thing Lin Che admired about Gu Jingze was that he seemed to have a well-thought-out plan for everything. No matter when, he seemed to know everything like the back of his hand. She didn't need to say anything, and he already knew everything.
"She even brought me to the Gu family. It was so awkward when we bumped into each other," Lin Che said.
Gu Jingze said, "She also wants to prove that she has the ability to compete for the position of Mistress."
"Compete? I'm not the only one she's competing with. "
"Of course not. The clan is divided into a few factions. Her faction is the third faction in the outer clan, led by her father, the Xue family. They do business overseas. Other than her, there's another faction in the outer clan that doesn't like to compete with others. The first faction is the most stable family and shouldn't be a threat to her. The second faction in the inner clan is the one that specifically opposes her in order to snatch the position of Mistress. However, they're not as competitive as Xue Mengqi because they're from the inner clan. The family is worried that people from the inner clan will fight for this position and become more powerful, which will be detrimental to the whole family. So they usually don't want them to fight for the position of Mistress."
