She was already frozen in place. Seeing Mu Wanqing and Lin Che together, reuniting after such a long time, looking so warm and sad, Mu Wanqing actually cried.
Yun Luo moved. She thought that her father thought that the Gu family would cause a huge uproar if they found out that Lin Che was back. He wanted to use Mu Wanqing to teach Lin Che a lesson, but unexpectedly …
She thought that Mu Wanqing was already very close to her and was on her side. She didn't expect that she and Lin Che looked even more familiar than she did.
The dignified Madam Gu actually shed tears because of Lin Che. This was too unbelievable.
Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che and walked over. He held her shoulders and wrapped his arms around her waist and said softly, "This is Mother's first time seeing her grandson. Just don't be scared later."
"Alright … I'll give myself a heads-up." Lin Che shrugged.
She glanced at Yun Luo from the corner of her eyes and smiled. She didn't forget to look back at Yun Luo and said lightly, "Miss Yun, I've let you see a joke. I haven't seen Mother in a long time and I'm a little excited. We aren't usually like this."
How could Yun Luo not feel the mockery in Lin Che's words?
She smiled awkwardly, but her eyes were already fixed on Gu Jingze's hand.
If she remembered correctly, Gu Jingze really didn't let her touch any part of his body. Every time, he would be a thousand miles away, and no one would dare to get close to him. But now, he was standing so intimately with Lin Che, touching her shoulder and hugging her body …
Yun Luo suddenly lost her confidence. She felt that everyone said that Gu Jingze treated her well, but that wasn't the case.
That was because Gu Jingze treated everyone else badly, so everyone was already surprised when he treated her well.
But now, seeing that Gu Jingze could be so gentle to a woman, she felt as if her heart was blocked. It was so uncomfortable.
Gu Jingze turned around and looked coldly at Yun Luo. "Yun Luo, I have something to take care of. Do as you please."
"Oh, I know. It's okay, you don't have to worry about me …"
Yun Luo could only say this in a magnanimous manner. She glanced at Qin Hao, who walked past her with his head held high and chest puffed out. Lin Che had returned, and his attitude towards her seemed to have changed all of a sudden. It was as if he couldn't be bothered with her anymore. Even the little bit of respect he had shown her before had disappeared.

When Mu Wanqing entered the door and saw Gu Shinian, she really felt that he was extremely cute.
"Nian Nian, I'm your grandmother." She walked over and looked at Nian Nian carefully. She wanted to touch him, but she was afraid of scaring him.
Gu Shinian looked at Mu Wanqing. "Hello, Grandma."
"Hey, okay, come here and let Grandma take a look." She called out to Nian Nian with a smile. She really did not dare to be too enthusiastic and could only suppress her love for him from the bottom of her heart.
When Gu Shinian walked over, Mu Wanqing squatted down and looked at him. She really felt that he was too beautiful.
Hugging Gu Shinian, she smiled and said, "Nian Nian is such a good boy. You look just like Mommy. You're so beautiful."
Gu Jingze said, "Mother, take a good look at him. He looks like me."
Mu Wanqing turned around and looked at Gu Jingze. "I don't have such a sullen face. I think she's much prettier than you. Come on, Nian, Grandma didn't prepare a gift for you. Grandma will make it up to you when we get home in a few days."
Lin Che looked at her and thought of all the things Mu Wanqing had bought for her. She suddenly felt that this gift … would probably surprise her again.
However, Gu Jingze pulled her and stopped her. He smiled at her and shook his head. Lin Che understood that he meant that Mu Wanqing could give him whatever she wanted. She didn't need to care.
Lin Che could only shake her head speechlessly.
Mu Wanqing said, "I'll watch Nian Nian later. You guys go and play. Don't worry about him."
"Mother, I still have to bring Nian Nian to meet a few shareholders later," Gu Jingze said.
Mu Wanqing frowned and looked at him. However, after thinking about it, she felt that this was also good for the child, so she only said, "Then, I'll take Nian Nian around."
Knowing that Mu Wanqing wanted to get along well with the child, Lin Che was the first to nod. Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che and nodded. He could only reluctantly agree. "Alright, Mother, I'll give you half an hour."
Mu Wanqing looked at Gu Jingze. She knew that he only agreed because Lin Che had nodded. At this moment, she even snorted and said, "Lin Che, if you say it's good, then it's good. You want to refute whatever I say. Seriously, there's a difference between a wife and a mother."
Lin Che hadn't noticed this problem yet. After hearing Mu Wanqing's teasing, she suddenly looked embarrassed. She glanced at Gu Jingze and saw that he had also turned his head. She quickly looked away.
Gu Jingze's lips curled up. His beautiful eyelashes trembled slightly as he looked at Mu Wanqing and said, "Anyway, I'll pick him up in half an hour."
Then, he held Lin Che's hand. "Let's go."
Lin Che had no choice but to walk out with Gu Jingze. Seeing that the door behind them was closed, she looked at Gu Jingze and said, "Mom still wants to give Nian Nian a gift. Nian Nian is still young and doesn't need anything. It's useless to give him no matter how much you give him. You're good. You even agreed."
Gu Jingze said, "Now that Nian doesn't need it, you're the one taking care of it. It's fine. Mom has a lot of money. She can deduct some."
"…"
If these words were said in an ordinary family, he would probably be accused of being unfilial. How could he covet his mother's money?
However, the Gu family had too many material things. Because they were too rich, these words were like a compliment, like a joke. No one thought that he was unfilial.
After all, he was right. Mu Wanqing was indeed very rich. Giving her some as a gift was just a drop in the bucket.
As the two of them spoke, Gu Jingze led her to the restaurant.
The Gu family's restaurant wasn't like the restaurants of other companies. The restaurant here was beautifully decorated. It was American-style and had a touch of elegance. The metal edges and solid wood walls were very tasteful.
It was like a luxurious banquet hall in a hotel. After entering, it felt like they were in a ball.
The shareholders were still chatting when they saw the door open and Gu Jingze walk in. Instantly, everyone stopped talking and walked in Gu Jingze's direction.
However, at this moment, everyone was surprised to see a woman beside Gu Jingze.
It was Lin Che.
Everyone reacted instantly. Some of them raised their glasses and said, "President Gu brought Madam here. How rare."
Seeing this, everyone followed. "President Gu and Madam are really a match made in heaven. I'm so envious."
Gu Jingze reached out to hold Lin Che's arm and smiled.
He turned his head to look at her. Everyone could see that Gu Jingze's usually cold gaze only glowed with a gentle light when he looked at Lin Che. Although it was still as cold as the moonlight, it was much softer than it usually was.
This was a gaze that only Lin Che would have.
