Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Che. "Your grandfather knows that his grandson is just like him. He's stubborn, and his grandson is just as stubborn."
Lin Che sighed. It wasn't just for his grandfather. She was worried that Gu Jingyu would be the one to regret it in the end.
After all, she had experienced this before. After her mother passed away, she realized that she hadn't properly asked her mother what she had been through.
This made her feel a little regretful.
Mu Wanqing was about to go to the front to check out the other things at the banquet, while Lin Che wandered around.
The Gu residence looked like a manor. She found a place to sit down and a servant came over to ask if she wanted something to drink.
She asked for a glass of fruit juice. After taking a few sips, she heard someone call her name from behind.
Gu Lanshan was at the back. She looked at Lin Che and asked, "Why are you sitting here by yourself?"
Lin Che still remembered that Gu Lanshan was on Mo Huiling's side when she said she was pregnant. Hence, Lin Che didn't like her at all when he saw her now.
He only looked at Gu Lanshan. She said, "Aunt."
Gu Lanshan said, "Do you mind if I sit down?"
"Of course not, Aunt." Lin Che wasn't that extreme.
Gu Lanshan said, "What's wrong? You don't look so good. Are you feeling unwell?"
Lin Che smiled. "It's nothing. But … Aunt, Jingyu doesn't come back every year. Has Grandfather never said anything about him? Has he ever asked anyone to look for him? "
Gu Lanshan smiled and looked at Lin Che. "Yes, Old Master is such a stubborn person. Once he has made up his mind, it's useless for you to say anything. Forget it, you don't have to get involved in this. However, this matter has always been on your mother-in-law's mind. As long as Jingyu doesn't come back, your mother-in-law, my sister-in-law, won't be able to rest easy."
Gu Lanshan looked at her and sighed heavily. "Alright, I'll be leaving first."
Lin Che smiled. "Okay. Take care, Aunt."
Gu Lanshan looked in Lin Che's direction and harrumphed. She then went to make a call.
"She doesn't need to send the gift I prepared for Lin Che."
Mo Huiling asked in surprise, "What? Why? "
Gu Lanshan said, "I wanted to talk to her about the gift, but I realized that she was asking for trouble. I told her that Grandpa is very stubborn, but Gu Jingyu is her mother-in-law and Mu Wanqing's biggest concern. In order to please her mother-in-law, she might overestimate herself and want to solve this matter. If that's the case, hehe … What we have to do? If she really wants to help her mother-in-law, she'll just wait for Old Master to kick her out in anger.
Mo Huiling said, "What if she's just mentioning it and doesn't really intend to interfere?"
"Looking at her, I really want to teach her a lesson. Hmph, I've seen too many little girls like her. She's just been pampered for a few days and she thinks she can do anything. She'll know soon enough."
Lin Che thought about it all the way. At night, she finally decided that she would give Grandpa Gu a present.
When Gu Jingze came back, Lin Che told him. Gu Jingze smiled and said, "You really don't want to give up."
Lin Che said, "Don't say that. I just want to try."
Gu Jingze looked at her quietly for a while and finally said, "Okay. Let's go. I'll take you somewhere."
"Where are we going?"
"Jingyu's old room."
Gu Jingze did take Lin Che to Gu Jingyu's room in the past.
Although it had been a long time since anyone lived here and the decorations were a little old, it was still spotless. It seemed that people often cleaned it up.
Lin Che was surprised to see so many of Gu Jingyu's belongings. She looked up at Gu Jingze. "Aren't you afraid that I'll cause you trouble?"
"Your little trouble …" He tapped her forehead. "It's nothing to me. Don't worry."
Lin Che nodded. "Okay. I'll get bolder and bolder in the future. I wonder if I'll poke a hole in you."
"Heh, I would like to know if there are any troubles in Country C that I can't solve."
Lin Che suddenly felt even more admiration. He raised his head and looked at Gu Jingze.

Gu Xiande didn't invite many people to his banquet. It was just a few relatives and friends.
Mo Huiling got out of the car outside the Gu Mansion and looked for Gu Lanshan.
From afar, two guards of the Gu Clan approached, saying that they wanted to bring Mo Huiling in.
"Miss Mo, Elder Miss asked us to bring you in."
The lady was Gu Lanshan. Hearing this, Mo Huiling hurriedly followed the guards and entered the room.
After entering, the guard brought her to the inner room. It was a side hall, and there were too many people around. Gu Lanshan arranged for her to rest here for now.
The guards said, "Elder Miss said that you're not feeling well and it's better for you to rest here. There are too many people there and it'll be bad if you bump into them."
Mo Huiling was looking outside and watching the people coming and going. She was a little excited because it was her first time attending Gu Xiande's birthday banquet.
She thought to herself, Hmph, I've said it before. One day, I'll walk in here openly.
Today, she had finally walked in.
At the thought of this, she hurriedly posted a message on her WeChat Moments. The address and the place where her name was displayed could be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. She directly said that she was here to attend the Gu Family's birthday banquet. There were so many people and it was too crowded.
Someone said enviously, "No way, you're attending the Gu Mansion's birthday banquet. You've really gotten back together with Gu Jingze?"
"The Gu Mansion's birthday banquet is so grand. Why didn't you tell us in advance that you're going to attend it?"
Hui Ling, where are you? Let's go in together. Did you go in with Gu Jingze? Can you introduce me to Gu Jingze? It's not easy for me to come here, so I just want to take a picture with him. "Gu Jingze smiled and said," I'm outside to attend the banquet.
Mo Huiling looked at them proudly. Then, she heard someone coming in with the birthday gift.
Mo Huiling looked at the huge object and walked over. She touched the edge of the object. She was really looking forward to seeing Lin Che's expression.

Outside, the preparations for the birthday banquet were almost done. There were already a lot of people.
Lin Che and Gu Jingze sat in the inner seats. Opposite them were Gu Jingming and Yu Minmin, who had just arrived. It was Yu Minmin's first time attending a banquet and he was sitting in such an important seat. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He raised his head and looked at Gu Jingming from time to time.
Lin Che looked at the people coming and going and noticed that they were all looking in their direction. As this was a family banquet, the tables were arranged in a circular pattern. Gu Jingze and Gu Jingming were naturally seated at the head of the table. Gu Lanshan was also seated there.
At this moment, someone finally said that the Old Master was here.
Everyone stood up and prepared to welcome the birthday boy.
