Lin Che smiled and looked at Mother Qin. "I'm getting close to Qin Qing?"
Mother Qin said, "I saw it. You were with Qin Qing just now, and you're already so obvious on such an occasion. If you go somewhere else, won't it be even more …"
"What's more obvious?" Lin Che looked at her calmly. "We're just greeting each other. Why? Are we going to walk past each other like we don't know each other?"
"Ha, that's for the best. Qin Qing is having a great time now. Don't try to ruin her life." Mother Qin glanced at her belly in disdain. It was already so big that it couldn't be hidden anymore. "Moreover, who do you think you can seduce now? Look at how big your belly is."
At this moment, Qin Qing, who realized that Mother Qin had come out on her own, came out as well.
He didn't want his mother to run around in such a big occasion, so he hurried to find her.
However, he didn't expect that not only was Mother Qin running around, but she was also looking for Lin Che.
Qin Qing hurried over.
"Mom, what are you doing here?"
Qin Qing came over and pulled her mother back.
Mother Qin smiled and said in front of her son, "Nothing. I saw that Lin Che was actually here, so I came to greet him."
Mother Qin didn't want to cause a commotion. It wouldn't look good, so she didn't question him in front of the two of them.
Mother Qin looked at Lin Che pretentiously. "Lin Che, it's been a long time since we last met. Your belly is already so big. Tell me, why are you still wandering around with such a big belly? You should rest well. It's better not to come to such an occasion. There are so many people here, it'd be bad if you accidentally bumped into each other."
Lin Che sneered. Looking at Mother Qin's performance, he really wanted to say that he should have retired a long time ago.
Qin Qing blushed. She felt that her mother didn't know anything and was spouting nonsense.
This was the Gu family's banquet, and she was the daughter-in-law of the family. How could she not come? How could she just wander around?
Moreover, her mother looked at her as if it was not good for her to come and join in the fun with a big belly.
Qin Qing said, "Alright, Mom, come with me first. Don't disturb Lin Che."
"How is that disturbing?" Mother Qin said. "Lin Che, why are you here alone?"
Mother Qin felt that Lin Che must be very unhappy in the Gu family.
She had no family background and was an actress. She had given birth to a child for the Gu Family at such a young age. She must have wanted to tie the Gu Family down with her. The daughters-in-law of a wealthy family were often reduced to childbearing machines. Because of their poor family background, they could only rely on children to stabilize their status.
As for Lin Che, she felt that he was like this. Otherwise, why would he give birth to a second child so soon after hearing that he already had one child?
How could she be like Xue Mengqi? She was a young lady from a wealthy family. She didn't need to care about others in whatever she did. She just needed to live her own life.
Lin Che didn't say anything. He looked at her and smiled faintly, learning her acting skills.
She already knew what Mother Qin wanted to do. At this moment, she felt like she was watching a clown.
Mother Qin said, "I heard that you can bring your friends and relatives. Look, our Qin Qing is with Meng Qi now. Meng Qi directly said that she brought me and her father to play. She wants us to join in the fun. Actually, we don't have to come to the President's Full Moon Banquet, but Meng Qi wants us to come as well. Aiyo, where's your family?"
Lin Che said, "They didn't come."
Mother Qin said with an exaggerated expression, "Aiyo, what's wrong? You're Gu Jingze's wife. Your family won't let you come?"
"Yeah."
"That's too outrageous. Lin Che, you have to fight for yourself a little more."
Mother Qin humphed. She thought that it was just as she thought. The Gu family looked down on Lin Che's family. That was why they didn't give him a single spot.
It was good enough for a small family like Lin Che to have such good fortune. It was a pity that she would probably have to rely on others for her life in the future.
Actually, Lin Che had already made many people envious. Even if they didn't know the details, they would be very surprised when they heard that she had married into the Gu family. However, Mother Qin didn't like Lin Che after all. She always liked to think of people in the worst possible light. The worse she thought, the happier she was.
She would only be satisfied when she thought that even if Lin Che married into the Gu family, it wouldn't be good.
What was the use of just having money? It didn't matter if he didn't live to his heart's content.
Mother Qin said, "You're still too honest. But then again, you can't afford to offend a family like the Gu family. If you live well with Gu Jingze, you won't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life. That's already good enough."
Lin Che smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for your advice, Auntie."
"I watched you grow up too." Mother Qin hugged her son. "Qin Qing has grown up. We've been basking in his light, so the Qin family has become better. Look, you were all children in the past. Now that you've grown up, we've also grown old. Sigh, but I'm also very happy that Qin Qing can be with Mengqi. Oh right, you know Mengqi, right? She's a distant relative of the Gu family."
Lin Che chuckled and said, "Of course I know her. We've been seeing each other a lot lately."
Mother Qin's eyes narrowed as she smiled. It wasn't hard to see that she really liked this daughter-in-law.
Moreover, Mother Qin had vaguely heard that Xue Mengqi was very likely to become the Gu family's matriarch in the future. She would be the most powerful woman in the Gu family and would be in charge of all the other women in the Gu family.
When that time came, she would be much more powerful than Lin Che.
She looked at Lin Che and said, "Qin Qing can't be more compatible with her. However, this banquet is really big. You're the only one here, so it's a little too lonely. It's better if you don't walk around outside. There's no one watching you anyway."
She sighed pitifully as she looked at Lin Che.
However, Lin Che only smiled and looked at Mother Qin. "I'm just curious about one thing."
Mother Qin said, "Ah, what is it?"
Lin Che said, "I think I only gave two invitations to the Qin family. Why did your family give three?"
Mother Qin's face turned green.
What did he mean by only giving two invitations to the Qin family?
Qin Qing's face had already darkened.
She couldn't understand how her mother could be so stupid.
But she couldn't stop her.
He pulled his mother and said, "Mom, this banquet was organized by Lin Che."
"What … What do you mean?" Mother Qin asked.
Lin Che looked at her and said, "I gave invitations to everyone who came in one by one. How many invitations did I give to each family? How come I don't know that I gave three invitations to your family?"
Mother Qin's face turned green.
She gave invitations?
It was Lin Che?
Why would Lin Che give invitations?
"You … You …"
Lin Che ignored her and asked Dongzi, "Go and ask what's going on."
