Lin Che looked at Gu Xiande. He felt that this old man had been fighting with his wits and courage all his life, and had fallen into a dead end.
He suddenly felt a little pitiful. Everyone was afraid of him, but they never thought that he was actually an old man.
To this day, those clan members still treated him as a highly respected elder. At the same time, this prestige did not make him any better. It made him seem like a tool that could bring them benefits.
She smiled. "Grandfather, is it because people's hearts are too complicated, or is it because you think of people's hearts too complicated that they become complicated? I'm very simple, and my thinking is also very simple. I just want to do my best to make everyone's lives happy. Every Gu family member that I help can be satisfied. That's enough. Otherwise, what else should I do?"
Gu Xiande was stunned.
Lin Che smiled. "I'm leaving, Grandfather. Have a good rest."
Lin Che lowered his head and walked out. He looked at the people outside and walked out calmly.
Inside, Gu Xiande felt a little uncomfortable.
He did not call for anyone. He just sat there in the empty room, thinking about what she had just said.
Did he think that people were too complicated?
"Old Master." Just then, someone walked in.
It was Xue Mengqi.
She looked at Gu Xiande. "Why is there no one outside, Old Master?"
She had just heard that the old master had asked Lin Che to come over himself.
Xue Mengqi was naturally a little unhappy. She quickly wanted to come over and see what the old master was up to.
Could it be that he had compromised because he was about to die?
That would be a big deal for the other clan members.
Gu Xiande said, "Oh, I asked them to leave first."
If they hadn't left, Xue Mengqi would not have come in so easily.
Xue Mengqi said, "Old Master, was Lin Che here just now?"
"Oh, yes."
"Is there something wrong?"
Gu Xiande turned around. "Why? Do I have to report to you now that I want to see someone?"
Xue Mengqi paused.
Gu Xiande's gaze was sharp. He was old, and his eyes were a lot more muddled. However, his gaze still carried the dignity of an elder, and people who looked at him couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
When this old man was young, his hands were also stained with blood. Who knew how many people he had killed with his most advanced methods?
Compared to him, Xue Mengqi was still too inexperienced.
Xue Mengqi was naturally still afraid of him. Although he didn't even have the strength to truss a chicken right now, his imposing aura caused people to feel restraining fear.
"That's not what I meant …"
"Then get out of here."
Xue Mengqi didn't expect that she would make him unhappy when she came in just to inquire about something.
No, it wasn't because he was unhappy. It was definitely because of what Lin Che had said before.
Xue Mengqi grew even more nervous. "What's wrong with you? Have you forgotten that you're on the same side as the clan members and us?"
Gu Xiande laughed. "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, no matter what Lin Che said, I hope you can understand that we are on the same side."
Gu Xiande said, "Mengqi, you're too impatient. This is also your weakness."
"I'm anxious?" Xue Mengqi looked at Gu Xiande and couldn't help but feel excited.
If Gu Xiande were to stand on Lin Che's side, who else would stand on her side?
Xue Mengqi said, "Our Xue Clan is the clan member of the Gu Clan, but we've been ostracized for so many years. In the entire Gu Clan, if there's a woman who's more hardworking and ambitious than me, then I'm not Xue Mengqi."
All these years, she had been living a very repressed life.
She was forced by her clan to develop herself, and the entire Xue Clan's weight had been placed on her shoulders.
But now, she was just a step away from becoming the Mistress of the Clan, just because of her identity …
She laughed coldly. "These few months, I've really been in deep trouble. Do you think I want to be the Mistress of the Clan? No, I don't want it at all, but everyone has handed the heavy responsibility to me. They want me to lead them out of their predicament, and not live under the pressure of Gu Jingze and Lin Che. They don't dare to trust Gu Jingze and Lin Che, so they can only entrust everything to me. I want this position because of everyone's expectations, but because I, Xue Mengqi, am not a Gu, I can't get everyone's approval."
When Xue Mengqi thought of Lin Che, she felt full of mockery. "And what about Lin Che? He only married Gu Jingze. He doesn't have to do anything, but he can have everything. Why?"
Gu Xiande said, "Maybe he can get everything because he doesn't want to do anything."
Xue Mengqi laughed. "Yeah, so you're encouraging people not to work hard? Those who work hard will die, and those who don't work hard will get everything?"
Some people liked to think like this, that others were not as hardworking as they were.
Xue Mengqi was one of them. She snorted and said, "Old Master, are you sure you want to stand on Lin Che's side now?"
Gu Xiande looked at her. "It's not her, but it's not you either." “
Xue Mengqi's heart was too heavy with gains and losses, and her heart was also too heavy with hatred. She was no longer suitable to be the Mistress.
Xue Mengqi's gaze sharpened.
If it wasn't her …
So, Gu Xiande really wouldn't stand on her side, right?
Xue Mengqi looked at him and wanted to laugh even more. She walked over step by step. "You've already thought about it. You selfish butcher. You've always thought about yourself and never thought about others. You can trample on other people's hard work and ignore other people's desires. You've even toyed with other people. Now, you've toyed with the entire clan, haven't you?"
Gu Xiande said, "Heh, you're not qualified enough. You can't blame anyone else."
"I'm not qualified enough? If I'm not qualified enough, then who is it? Who is it? "
She walked over to him and pulled his shirt over his head.
The old man looked at her. "Xue Mengqi, what are you doing?"
"I'm asking you, who's qualified enough? Is it Lin Che?"
She swayed angrily.
"You … Let go of me."
"Answer me, answer me."
"You …"
Xue Mengqi felt him suddenly cough.
Then, he clutched his chest and gasped for breath in discomfort. His lips had turned purple in an instant.
Xue Mengqi suddenly realized what she was doing.
She was too impulsive.
She wanted to run, but then realized that she should run now?
But Gu Xiande was already like this. Even if she left, Gu Xiande wouldn't let her off.
She turned around and saw that Gu Xiande seemed to want to take the medicine.
She walked over with a cold smile.
"Where are your people, Old Master?"
Gu Xiande only panted, his face twisted as he took out the medicine. His arms were trembling, and he couldn't take it out.
Xue Mengqi chuckled. "You sent them all out, right? Just because you wanted to see Lin Che and tell him some secret? It's so secretive, and no one is allowed to hear it."
Xue Mengqi said, "You asked for it yourself. It's you …"
She forcefully hooked his wheelchair with her feet.
The wheelchair fell to the ground.
"Cough … Cough, cough …"
Gu Xiande fell to the ground and panted heavily.
