In the car, Lin Che saw Yu Minmin looking out of the window. He thought for a moment and said, "Your father can't always be like this."
Yu Minmin laughed bitterly. "So what? He's addicted to gambling. I've heard him say that for half his life, but he's still causing trouble every day. It's okay, I'm used to it."
In the past, although Lin Che had always been Yu Minmin's artist, she was just a small artist. Unlike now, she was practically her personal manager, so they spent almost every day together. That was when she found out that Yu Minmin's family was like this.
Lin Che patted Yu Minmin's shoulder. "We have to think of something."
Yu Minmin looked at Lin Che and shook her head. "Unless I leave this place with my mother and brother, I can't think of a way to get rid of this parasite."
Lin Che said, "Alright, let's think of something when we get home. Don't worry, there will be a way."
Soon, they arrived at the Gu family's house.
Yu Minmin had never been to the Gu family's house before. When she saw the heavy security outside, she realized that something was wrong. She said to Lin Che, "Can I go in? The Gu family doesn't allow outsiders to enter, right? "
Lin Che said, "No way … It should be okay. I've never brought anyone here before."
When they reached the door, the security guards looked at Yu Minmin and greeted Lin Che respectfully, "Madam." Then they let her in.
Yu Minmin calmed down. She didn't miss the respectful greeting.
But she turned to look at Lin Che and didn't ask anything.
She was a manager. She shouldn't ask too much about her artists unless it would affect her work. This was the professional ethics of a manager.
After entering, Yu Minmin saw the huge house and the low-key but luxurious decorations.
Standing in the living room, she couldn't help but say to Lin Che, "Your house is like a palace."
Lin Che said, "Yeah, I always got lost when I first came here. It's mainly because there are too many turns and it looks a little complicated, but I got better by walking."
Yu Minmin said, "I didn't expect this to be Gu Jingze's house."
"Why?" Lin Che looked at her.
Yu Minmin smiled. "Normal people can't come in. I'm basking in your glory."
Lin Che smiled. "Really? I can even bask in your glory one day. "
"Of course."
At this moment, Yu Minmin's phone rang. Yu Minmin lowered his head to listen to the call. It was his mother.
His mother cried over the phone and said, "Please help your father, Min Min. You're the only one in our family who can do this. We can't count on anyone else. See if you know anyone and ask them to tell them that he's your only father. If something happens to him, won't you regret it?"
Yu Minmin dug her fingers into her palms, as if pain would make her feel better.
"Okay, I will think of a way …" In the face of his mother's wailing, Yu Minmin could only say this faintly.
After hanging up the phone, he closed his eyes and raised his head to look at the huge ceiling of the Gu family's house and sighed.
Lin Che said, "Sister Yu, who is the other party? Let's think of a way together. There will be a way."
Yu Minmin said, "The Lus are the ones who run a bank and gamble underground in City B. My dad has dealt with them for many years. To put it bluntly, they're not good people. I'll go over and talk to them. We'll talk when the time comes."
"What are you going to do at night?"
"I'm going to open a hotel. My dad won't be able to find me for the time being. Don't worry, after so many years, I still know how to do these things. Self-defense is my strength."
"Okay."
Yu Minmin booked a hotel with her phone and Lin Che arranged for the Gu family's car to send her there.
Then, the phone rang. Seeing Gu Jingze's name, Lin Che smiled and picked it up.
"When are you going to fulfill your promise and cook for me?"
Lin Che thought that he was just saying it casually, but hearing him mention it again, he could only say unwillingly, "Okay … I'll go buy the ingredients when you come back."
"Okay, wait for me. I'll be there soon."
When Gu Jingze heard that she was going to buy the ingredients to cook for him, he rushed back impatiently.
Very soon, he reached home and pulled Lin Che out. "Let's go to the market together."
"Are you going too?"
"Of course."
"But …" Lin Che remembered Mo Huiling's warning that day. "Won't it be too dangerous for you to go out?"
Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che strangely. "Why do you say that?"
Lin Che said, "It's just that Miss Mo told me that you'll be in danger if you go out on your own."
Mo Huiling?
Displeasure flashed across Gu Jingze's face. He said to Lin Che, "I'll be in danger wherever I go, but I still have to live, don't I? Do I have to be locked up in a cage every day because I'm afraid of danger? Let's go. "
With that said, Gu Jingze took Lin Che's hand and led her out.
Lin Che wanted to say something, but seeing him like this, she could only shut her mouth. She looked down at his hand and wanted to pull it out, but she couldn't. Instead, he tightened his grip. Seeing that the helper was still watching, Lin Che didn't struggle too much.
There weren't many people in the market. Lin Che found it strange that the market, which used to be crowded, was like a limited street today. There were very few people and it was very orderly.
Lin Che pushed the cart and looked at the recipe that Gu Jingze had written. She said gloomily, "There are so many requirements. This recipe looks so complicated."
Gu Jingze said, "This is complicated? Just cut a few vegetables and stir-fry them. "
He purposely chose a recipe that wasn't very expensive.
Lin Che pushed the cart and walked back and forth, looking at the vegetables. Shopping in the supermarket was really a happy thing. Lin Che's face was full of smiles, looking very relaxed.
"I want one for this."
"I want one for this too."
"Aiya, do the carrots look fresh?"
As she bought, she started to buy in a mess.
She didn't follow the recipe at all.
Gu Jingze could only shake his head helplessly.
Just then, someone passed by and accidentally ran over Lin Che's foot with the wheel of the cart.
Lin Che let out a yelp.
She looked up and saw that the man was looking at her. He didn't say anything and just turned to leave.
Lin Che thought gloomily that he really had no sense of civility.
However, just as the man turned around, his arm was suddenly grabbed by Gu Jingze.
He grabbed the man's arm and pressed him against the shelf. The man was startled. He turned around and wanted to scold Gu Jingze, but when he saw Gu Jingze's deep and ruthless eyes, he felt guilty and shut his mouth.
"Apologize to my wife," he said.
The man looked at Lin Che. Although he wasn't convinced, he was afraid of Gu Jingze and could only say honestly, "I'm sorry. I wasn't paying attention just now."
Lin Che covered his foot and said, "Alright, be more careful next time."
Gu Jingze snorted and then let go of the man.
The man walked away dejectedly. Lin Che wanted to get up from the ground, but Gu Jingze squatted down and carried Lin Che horizontally.
The passersby who saw this scene all felt extremely envious. This strong, tall man really made people feel like they were infatuated with him.
Gu Jingze carried Lin Che and put him in the shopping cart. "I'm here to see if your foot is okay."
Lin Che shook his head and smiled at Gu Jingze. "It's okay. How heavy can a shopping cart be? It's just that the man's attitude was really annoying."
