"No, Uncle Lu, it's just that I don't want to give up. I've been practicing for so long. I've learned fencing and ballet. I can't give up just because of a small matter like this. Wouldn't all my hard work be in vain? It wasn't easy for me to learn, and I still want to show everyone."
Lu Qinyu only looked at Lin Che upon hearing this.
They were so alike. So alike.
"You're just like your mother, so stubborn." He sighed and said, "Alright, I'll get someone to cook some soup for you. If you need anything, just let me know. I'll definitely support you."
Lin Che could only smile. "Thank you, Uncle, but I'm really good."
Just then, Lin Che saw that Gu Jingze was already standing at the door.
She didn't know how long he had been listening outside.
Seeing that Gu Jingze was here, Lu Qinyu only told him that the Lu family would do their best to help and not treat him as an outsider. Then, he left.
Gu Jingze walked over and covered Lin Che with a blanket.
He looked at her deeply, as if he had really heard what she said outside. He didn't say anything and just said, "Have a good rest after drinking the ginger soup. Lie down and don't move."
Lin Che was very clear. She knew that she had already come this far. If she really gave up just like that, Lu Chuxia would be happy.
However, she had overestimated her own body.
Unexpectedly, misfortune never came alone. The next day, she really did catch a cold.
When she woke up, Lin Che felt that her throat was already smoking.
It seemed that she had soaked in the water yesterday, so she walked straight back and caught a cold from the cold.
Lin Che looked at it. Today's competition was fencing.
She didn't tell Gu Jingze about her sore throat. She was worried that if she told him, he would exaggerate and not allow her to compete again. That wouldn't be good.
However, after yesterday's incident, Lin Che could feel that everyone's gazes on her were different again when she walked out of the room.
The jealous ones were even more jealous, and the curious ones were even more curious.
Naturally, after Gu Jingze came out, those people dispersed.
Seeing that Lin Che was wearing thin clothes, Gu Jingze waved for a servant to bring a shawl and put it on her shoulders. He looked at her and said, "You came out just like that. This is an island and it's very humid."
Lin Che laughed. "I'm not that weak. Let's go."
Beside him, a young girl blushed when she saw Gu Jingze like that. Then, she hurriedly walked away with the heart of a young girl.
Gu Jingze pretended not to notice, but Lin Che curled his lips in his heart.
After yesterday's incident, these little girls seemed to be even more eager.
Seriously …
— —
On the fencing field.
Lin Che changed his clothes and looked at his sword.
When Lu Chuxia saw Lin Che, she immediately came over and pushed her to the side.
At the side, when someone saw Lu Chuxia, he quickly made way for her. At the same time, he started to flatter Lu Chuxia. "Chuxia, you were really good at riding a horse yesterday."
"It's rare to find a woman as versatile as you. No, you're the only one in Country C. Chuxia, you'll be even better in the fencing competition today."
"That's right. In Country C, no one is a match for you."
Of course, in Country C, other than the Gu family, there was only the Lu family. Miss Gu did not like to socialize, so in Country C, Lu Chuxia's status was really unparalleled.
Lu Chuxia smiled as she changed. Then, she turned around and looked at Lin Che. "Today, I'll let you leave the WW banquet first. Prepare your speech. I'm waiting for you to say that you're not as good as me."
After saying that, she immediately left.
When the fencing competition started.
Gu Jingze was still looking down from the spectator stand.
The people around him wanted to get close to Gu Jingze, but they were intimidated by his cold gaze. They did not dare to go near him and could only look at him from afar.
When Lin Che saw the drawing of lots, he cursed in his heart.
Was this arranged by Lu Chuxia? Her opponent was actually her.
However, if he defeated her, he would get more points.
But when she looked at her sword, she suddenly felt dizzy. It seemed that … there was still some reaction to the flu.
At this moment, she heard the announcement from outside. The competition had started.
Lin Che went out and heard from the spectator stand that since yesterday, some of the rich heirs on the stage had already changed from Lu Chuxia's fans to Lin Che's fans.
Because Lin Che looked really good riding a horse.
They were all about looks, okay?
Hearing someone call his name, Lin Che was a little embarrassed. He raised his head and looked up. The rich heirs noticed that she raised her head and became even crazier. They said, "Lin Che, big brother supports you. Fight well. Lin Che, whatever you want, big brother will support you. Tell big brother if you need anything."
Lin Che's face turned even redder. These rich heirs …
But when Gu Jingze turned his face away, those people became more obedient. They looked in front of them and could only silently support Lin Che.
Lu Chuxia was even more furious. These men … were too unreasonable. They fell in love with everyone they saw. They only found out about Lin Che yesterday, but they already started to support her.
Lu Chuxia suddenly felt that she had miscalculated when she made the bet with her and brought her to such a high-end banquet.
Because she never thought that these people would like Lin Che.
Lu Chuxia was so angry that she swung her sword at him.
Lin Che immediately reacted and hurriedly followed suit.
Lu Chuxia's fencing was only average, but Lin Che's head was dizzy because of the flu.
He felt like he was going to fall to the ground in the next moment.
He couldn't resist, so he could only listen. The referee called Lu Chuxia's score. Lu Chuxia's score.
Lin Che was also thinking, was he going to lose?
Was he going to lose just like that?
Then, Lu Chuxia's plan from yesterday had succeeded. Although she didn't die or get hurt, because of the flu …
The stage was in chaos.
Everyone watched as Lin Che retreated, and they couldn't help but comment, "It seems like Lu Chuxia is still much stronger than Lin Che in terms of strength."
"Yeah, Lin Che is no match for her."
"Lin Che is doomed."
"Lu Chuxia is indeed the top socialite in Country C. Looks like no one can shake her position. Then, if Lin Che loses like this, will he leave Gu Jingze?"
Everyone couldn't help but look at Gu Jingze. For a moment, they felt that although Gu Jingze and Lu Chuxia were a good match, no matter who a man like Gu Jingze was with, they couldn't accept it.
The men were very happy. "If Gu Jingze doesn't want it, I want it. I think Lin Che is really good."
"Get lost, Lin Che is mine."
At this moment, the people on the stage were still anxious.
But at this moment, Lu Chuxia stabbed her sword.
