Lin Che said, "How is that possible? What tricks can I play? Isn't everything under your control? Besides, are you afraid that I'll play tricks?"
Li Mingyu raised his eyebrows and looked at her. "Don't play tricks on me just because I treat you well."
"Ha, I really want to play tricks on you. Are you afraid of my tricks?" She raised her eyebrows and looked at him.
Li Mingyu looked at her sparkling eyes and laughed. "Okay, I'll eat hotpot with you."
Li Mingyu suddenly asked someone to prepare hotpot. It was a little strange, but Li Mingyu had always been casual, so everyone was used to it. Soon, he got someone to prepare everything.
Lin Che's appetite was whetted when he saw the hotpot. He immediately asked someone to prepare it. Looking at the bubbling food, he immediately said, "Come and try it. It's really delicious."
Li Mingyu shook his head. "I'm already sick of this kind of food that kids like to eat."
Lin Che looked at him and asked, "Why? You've eaten hotpot before?"
"Of course. I've told you before. Don't think that I'm like your husband, who grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth. I started from scratch and lived a hard life. I used to eat hotpot before, unlike your husband, who has always been a noble person."
Lin Che glared at him. He felt that he was quite petty, constantly criticizing Gu Jingze.
Li Mingyu still walked over and started eating with Lin Che.
Lin Che said, "Then what did you do in the past?"
"Everything. I sold shoes, worked, and worked in the mines."
Lin Che said, "You don't look old. Why are you bragging?"
Li Mingyu said, "I started working when I was fifteen, and I've been working hard for almost twenty years."
Lin Che said, "I see. Then it must have been hard on you."
"Of course. You were still wearing open-crotch pants at home."
"Pfft. I started working with the nanny when I was ten. I started delivering newspapers to make ends meet when I was twelve. I started working to pay for my own school fees when I was fifteen."
"Hehe, these are just experiences for you. It is said that your family is not the mayor of B City."
"But I'm an illegitimate child. I was bullied by my two older sisters at home and the money I received for school was deducted by them. When they saw me earning money outside, they even said that I stole their pocket money. In the end, they robbed me of my money and I was locked in a dark room by my father. In the end, the nanny couldn't stand it anymore and secretly let me go. She even lent me money for school. Otherwise, I wouldn't be the person I am now."
Li Mingyu looked at her. "That's nothing. I've lived in a tree hole and a pigsty before."
"At least I'm living by myself, but I'm always being bullied by my two sisters. No matter what I do, they'll always stop me. They've always taken pleasure in attacking me and destroying me."
Li Mingyu looked at her indifferently. For a moment, no one knew what he was thinking.
The two of them were comparing how miserable they were. They talked about the desolation of the past. Gradually, Li Mingyu also drank a lot of wine.
Lin Che didn't drink a single mouthful. She soaked the wine with a wet towel. Although the glass was dry, she didn't drink a single mouthful.
On the other hand, Li Mingyu didn't move at all. He lay there and said these words, but his head was already drooping.
He mumbled, "I really don't know why you all say that Gu Jingze is good. In the end, you just like him because he's good-looking, rich and powerful, and he's from an ancient family. So what if he's ancient? I don't have anything. Now, I can just stomp my feet and shake A country."
"Yes, yes, yes. You're amazing." She walked over. "Where is Gu Jingze? Can I go and see him?"
Li Mingyu said, "He's right here … Why are you looking at him? I've asked people to serve him well. Of course, they're not as good as you, but I didn't mistreat him."
"I don't believe you. Take me to see him."
Lin Che could only support him. To prevent the people outside from blocking the way, she carried him, almost putting his weight on her body, and helped him out with difficulty.
When the people outside saw them coming out like this, they couldn't help but be suspicious. They walked over and said, "Sir … Sir?"
Lin Che smiled. "He's drunk, so he said he would take me to see Gu Jingze."
"I'm afraid that's not possible."
"He promised me. Why not? Why don't you wake him up and ask him? He's coming with us anyway. I can't save Gu Jingze by myself. Are you afraid of me? If I really wanted to do something, I would've used him as a hostage to force you to let me in since he's so drunk."
They were still hesitating when Lin Che suddenly shouted, "What do you mean? Are you suspecting me of something? If you continue to waste my time, believe it or not, when Li Mingyu wakes up, I'll let him deal with you one by one. Do you think I don't have that ability? Haven't you learned your lesson from what happened before? "
Li Mingyu was like this. He was too casual, so the people around him were afraid of him. If he was unhappy, he would change people. It wasn't unheard of.
Previously, because of what Lin Che said, he chased away so many women in the manor.
It was obvious that Lin Che was not a simple man in his eyes.
They hesitated for a moment. It was not worth offending Lin Che. They might as well watch him strictly. If Lin Che didn't do anything to Gu Jingze, Li Mingyu wouldn't say anything when he woke up.
So, they led Lin Che forward.
The people on the side helped to support Li Mingyu. Finally, Lin Che's weight was reduced.
"Miss Lin, this way please."
He led the group through corridors after corridors and finally arrived at a heavy iron door.
The door had not opened yet, but Lin Che's heart was already in a mess.
The door opened slowly with a rumbling sound.
The person inside slowly appeared in front of them.
When Lin Che saw Gu Jingze hanging there with messy clothes and bloodstains all over him, she felt as if all the blood in her body had flowed backward.
In an instant, she ran in in a panic.
"Gu Jingze!" She didn't know how she ran to Gu Jingze's side, but she hugged his body.
She only felt that his clothes were bloodstained and torn. She could see the marks inside. Every hit felt like she was hitting herself. She was in excruciating pain.
"Gu Jingze, how are you? Wake up … You … "She saw Gu Jingze's head hanging low. He looked lifeless.
She reached her trembling hand to his mouth. When she felt his weak breathing, she felt relieved. He wasn't dead. Thank goodness he wasn't dead.
She looked at his bound hands and quickly raised her hand to untie them.
"No, Miss Lin, you can't!"
