"Really? You don't have to be so polite," Gu Xiande said.
"It's nothing. It's a tonic that my father brought back from the North Pole. I brought it to Grandpa. He said it's very useful."
"That's really expensive."
Lu Chuxia smiled and went out to get the things.
Wherever he went, he would be stared at by others.
Someone at the side said, "That person inside must be the highly respected Old Master Gu."
"Yes."
"It's my first time seeing him. Although I saw him from afar, I still got to see him."
"Of course. Don't you see? Which one of them isn't the most popular person in the Gu family? Old Master Gu has a strange temper. Not everyone can get close to him."
"That's right. Look at them now. Aren't they all the top figures in the Gu Clan?"
"That Miss Lu seems to be very liked by Old Master Gu."
"Look at how close the old master is to her."
"Alright, don't expect too much. You have to have the ability and family background of Miss Lu."
Lu Chuxia listened and felt very proud. When she walked past, she hummed and couldn't help but smile.
When she went back inside, she gave Old Master Gu something again. Gu Xiande was very happy. She sat there, making people feel even more envious.
Just then, someone called out that Gu Jingming and Gu Jingze had arrived.
The people behind hurriedly stood up to welcome the president and Gu Jingze.
The two brothers came in one after another. They had similar body and appearance, but different temperaments. As the president, Gu Jingming was naturally full of righteousness. On the other hand, Gu Jingze was used to being low-key and cold, so it was as if he was in the middle of the night. Next to him, Lin Che followed. They were a beautiful scenery, attracting the attention of the people around.
When Lu Chuxia saw that Lin Che had come, she raised her head.
When Gu Jingming and Gu Jingze saw Gu Xiande, they went to talk to the old master first.
"Grandfather, you're here."
"Grandfather." The two of them bowed respectfully.
"Alright, sit down. Hey, Xiaoche, I haven't seen you for a long time. Come here quickly."
Gu Xiande saw Lin Che and hurriedly called him over.
Lin Che hurriedly walked over with a smile. Meeting Old Man Gu's gaze, her smile was still extremely clear. She didn't address him as formally as the two brothers, instead calling him intimately, "Grandfather, you're here."
Gu Xiande said, "Yeah, I'm getting old and I'm starting to like to join in on the fun."
"If Grandpa didn't come, they would have fallen out. Grandpa coming is the right thing to do."
"Ha, who's causing trouble?" Gu Xiande asked.
Lin Che said, "Who else? Gu Jingze."
"Him? What's wrong with him? "Gu Xiande asked her with interest.
Lin Che said, "He kept bullying me just now because I don't understand. I think this wedding is really big and there are a lot of people. It's my first time attending such a big wedding. Of course, there are a lot of things I don't understand. He kept mocking me. Hmph."
Gu Xiande laughed out loud when he heard that. He raised his head and said to Gu Jingze, "Why are you bullying Xiaoche?"
Gu Jingze glared at Lin Che and said, "She likes to make a fuss. You're bullying her by mocking her?" He looked at Lin Che and said, "Look at your despicable face. You only know how to complain."
Lin Che snorted and hugged Gu Xiande's arm, pretending to be afraid. "Grandpa, Grandpa, look, Gu Jingze is scolding me again. I'm a despicable person. I'm small, so of course I'm a despicable person."
Gu Xiande laughed and said to Lin Che, "Don't be afraid of him. Grandpa will stand up for you. I'll see if he dares to bully you."
"Yeah, Grandpa, if you came earlier, he definitely wouldn't dare to bully me. But is this place really big? It seems like there are a lot of people here," Lin Che said.
"Yeah, the Gu family invited at least five hundred people this time. I don't know how the rest managed to get in, but there are probably more than a thousand people in total," Gu Xiande said.
Lin Che looked at Gu Xiande in surprise. "Wow, there are so many people."
Those who could think of a way to get in were probably either rich or powerful people or people with means.
Didn't that mean that many rich people from all over the country had gathered here?
Gu Xiande looked at Lin Che's surprised expression and smiled. "It doesn't matter. They're all here to curry favor with the rich and powerful. Just ignore them."
Lin Che said, "The Gu family is so powerful that there are so many people who come to curry favor with the rich and powerful …"
"Hahaha, silly girl. But you're right. Thinking about it this way, I feel much better."
"You're right, aren't you?" Lin Che said.
Gu Xiande patted the seat next to him and gestured for Lin Che to sit down. They quickly sat down together and looked at Lin Che, asking her if she had any troubles in life.
Lin Che only raised her head and glared at Gu Jingze. "Troubles. The trouble is that Gu Jingze always bullies me."
Gu Xiande said, "He bullies you because he likes you!"
"No way. He always says that my IQ is low. That really hurts me. Grandpa, can you tell him that he's not allowed to say that my IQ is low in the future? He makes me feel inferior!"
"Really? That's his fault. Xiaoche, don't be angry. I'll teach him a lesson later."
Lin Che nodded vigorously. "Grandpa treats me the best!"
Lu Chuxia was suddenly pushed to the back by Lin Che. She looked at Lin Che in surprise as she chatted passionately with Gu Xiande. From time to time, Gu Xiande would be amused by Lin Che's strange questions and would laugh out loud. He even looked a little friendly.
Lu Chuxia could faintly hear the people behind her say, "Who's that person next to Old Master Gu?"
"Yeah, I've never seen anyone so close to Old Master Gu."
"He even let her sit next to him. She must be someone very close to him."
"Also, the old man has been laughing because of her."
Lu Chuxia sat there, feeling as if she had become air for a moment.
However, she didn't want to go out. After all, it was not easy to get into this circle. It would be easy to get back in again if she went out. However, sitting there felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. Especially when she saw Lin Che's smug look, she felt her heart was burning.
In the end, Lu Chuxia sat there obediently. After all, it was not worth it to go out at this time. She couldn't bear to leave, so she continued to sit there. She looked at the Gu family looking at Lin Che and Gu Xiande. Many people envied Lin Che's boldness, but no one dared to talk to Gu Xiande like that.
Lu Chuxia listened to Lin Che's words and felt afraid for him.
Lin Che really did not care about anything and dared to say anything.
However, in the end, Gu Xiande still laughed and listened to her, answering her idiotic questions seriously.
