He really valued Lin Che, and Lin Che was also extremely good at pleasing the old man.
It seemed that even if Mo Huiling brought the child into the family, she would only be a mother because of the child. It would probably be difficult for her to do anything.
Gu Xiande had a good meal. After eating, he went back to get someone to look for a photographer. He really wanted to take a family portrait.
"In the future, I'll put the family portrait that Xiaoche gave me together with this. Isn't that good?"
"Yes, Father, you have great taste. Xiaoche did this really well. Xiaoche, you're really clever." Little Aunt saw that Lin Che was being pampered and quickly started to flatter him. Gu Lanshan couldn't be bothered.
Seeing Mu Wanqing's smug look, she felt angry. However, she didn't dare to say that she wouldn't take the photo, so she could only follow.
Naturally, there was no one else to take the family portrait. Mo Huiling sat there. Seeing that everyone had gotten up and walked out, and no one was paying attention to her, she stood up quickly, as if she wanted to ask someone what she should do.
Was she going to just sit here?
"Hey … Big Aunt … Little Aunt … Jingze …"
However, no one paid attention to her. She could only watch as the group of people left the table, leaving her standing there alone, not knowing what to do.
The other guests in the room were all looking at Mo Huiling, laughing and pointing at her. Mo Huiling didn't need to listen to know that they were definitely laughing at her.
She secretly clenched her fists and thought angrily in her heart.
Damn Lin Che, damn it … Why did Gu Jingyu come? Why was Gu Jingyu so close to her? He actually listened to her and came straight to the old mansion.
If not for Gu Jingyu's arrival, everyone's eyes would have been attracted to Lin Che and Gu Jingyu, and she wouldn't have … fallen into such a helpless situation.

Outside, the whole family stood together to take a family portrait.
Gu Xiande pulled Gu Jingyu. "We still have your room at home. Come back when you're free."
Gu Jingyu said, "Yes, I understand. I'll come back when I'm free, but I've been filming overseas recently …"
"Don't always go abroad. It's not good for your health to fly for more than ten hours."
"Yes, yes, I know. You just need to take care of yourself."
"If you have no other choice, I'll get someone to book a plane for you tomorrow. It'll take the Gu family's route. Don't always fight with your second brother for the plane. It'll be easier to arrange your time if you have your own."
"Aiya, I'm not used to grandfather being so generous all of a sudden."
"You, you little brat. Don't act like you've gotten a bargain. If you don't want it, I'll give it to Little Che."
"Yes, yes, why wouldn't I? Sister-in-law and Second Brother have a plane to take. Why are you giving all of them to their family? They have so many planes. Can they take all of them?"
Lin Che was speechless. She didn't dare to ask for a private jet … If people found out that she had a private jet, they would definitely hate her to death.
Gu Xiande gestured for Gu Lanshan and the rest to go out and entertain the guests. He was tired and wouldn't be going out.
He only looked at Lin Che and sighed, "Little Che, I know it's not good to let Mo Huiling in, but there are so many people watching …"
Lin Che lowered his head, "I know …"
"No, you don't know. This kind of thing happens every day in this circle. Not every man is as righteous as Jingze. There are a lot of crooked men who have women and children outside. If I don't let Mo Huiling in, I don't know what they'll think. They might think that I'm slapping their faces. If I don't allow this to happen, it will make them unhappy. It's not a big deal if they're unhappy, but if they lose the trust of the people, it'll be hard for them to be the head of the family. Which family head would turn a blind eye to this kind of thing? Otherwise, some people are willing to do it, and the family knows it. It's not good for me to interfere with their family affairs. So, I can't be too harsh on Mo Huiling."
Although Lin Che was naive, she knew that no one had to stand on her side. She knew that she was Gu Xiande's granddaughter-in-law. It was already very good for him to treat her this way. It was unrealistic to expect more understanding and care from him.
Lin Che said, "I know, Grandfather."
"Alright, you're a good girl. Little Che, Grandfather will definitely promise you that when her child is born, we won't admit it, whether it's Jingze's or not. We won't let her stay in the Gu family either."
Lin Che smiled, "I believe what Jingze said. The child won't be his."
"I think so too. Jingze won't do something he's not confident in. But the child hasn't been born yet. If we say this, she'll definitely distort the truth. We don't have any evidence, so we can't force her to abort the child, or force her to do a paternity test. Otherwise, if something goes wrong with the child, she'll blame it on us. When the child is born, it'll be obvious that it's the Gu family's flesh and blood. Things like blood can't lie. It'll be much easier to do a paternity test after the child is born. When the evidence is conclusive, she won't be able to deny it even if she wants to."
"Yes, Grandfather, I understand."
Everyone couldn't help but feel a little jealous when they saw that Gu Xiande had asked Lin Che to stay in private to talk more. Gu Lanshan looked at Mu Wanqing and snorted, "Looks like your daughter-in-law has some of your skills. Look at how good she is at making people happy."
Mu Wanqing looked at Gu Lanshan, "Father has his own ideas. It's impossible to deceive him. After all, Father has seen through many people and things over the years. So, if Father really likes someone, it's not something we can control. If you're not convinced, you can ask Father why he must be so good to Little Che. There's no point in being jealous with me."
"You … Who's jealous with you? I'm jealous of Lin Che? Ha, would I be jealous of a junior? "
Gu Lanshan left and Mu Wanqing didn't bother with her anymore.
When Lin Che came out, he found Gu Jingyu immediately.
"Senior Jingyu." She ran over and looked at Gu Jingyu. "Senior Jingyu, I'm really happy that you could come today."
Gu Jingyu looked at Lin Che. She tilted her head and gestured to Gu Jingze, who was behind her. "It was Second Brother who found me first."
"What?" Lin Che asked in surprise, "Gu Jingze found you first? Why? "
Gu Jingyu said, "Second Brother told me about the gift you prepared for Grandfather. He also said that if I didn't come … Grandfather might feel embarrassed and get angry at you. If I didn't come, he was worried that he would come to collect your corpse, so …"
Gu Jingze had actually done this in secret?
He had already planned everything. No wonder … when he first found out that she was going to give him this gift, he didn't object at all and even helped her.
This old fox …
Lin Che really felt that he had lost to Gu Jingze.
