He was here to take Lin Che to the Gu Residence. It was the New Year, so the family had to go back for a gathering.
Nian Nian had already gone to the Gu Residence, so Lin Che and Gu Jingze arrived a little later.
Because Gu Jingze was worried about Lin Che's health, he didn't want her to go there too early and be disturbed by so many people.
Lin Che felt that he was a little too nervous, but she really didn't want to go to the Gu Residence and be surrounded by so many people.
When they arrived at the Gu Residence, many people from the Gu Family were already there.
Seeing that Gu Jingze hadn't arrived yet, the people inside were still muttering to themselves that he was really powerful now, and it was even more difficult to see him.
Someone told them that it was because Gu Jingze's wife was pregnant, and he didn't want her to be too tired, so he came a little late.
Everyone was even more convinced that this madam was the one who was more arrogant.
However, when Lin Che really arrived, no one dared to be the slightest bit displeased.
The moment Lin Che entered the door, he felt that everyone was looking at him differently.
In the past, they were somewhat unwilling, but now they were very enthusiastic and greeted Lin Che, looking very respectful.
Lin Che could only respond to them one by one, feeling that she was even more tired from everyone's enthusiasm.
Lin Che could only look at Gu Jingze and ask, "What's going on?"
Gu Jingze said, "Why? You're my wife, so it's normal for them to be respectful to you."
"Okay … I don't think they were so enthusiastic before."
Lin Che touched her stomach, feeling that it had something to do with it.
Actually, it was true. Everyone knew that Lin Che was pregnant again. This time, whether it was a boy or a girl, it was Gu Jingze's second child. Lin Che's position was stable. Gu Jingze had always doted on her. Previously, there had been servants who resisted, but they were sent away. Now that she was pregnant, no one could resist.
Mu Wanqing and her family were still there. Looking at Lin Che, Mu Wanqing quickly walked over and said, "Aiyo, poor thing. I heard about your mother and father. I really didn't expect our Little Che to have such a rough life. It's really heartbreaking."
Lin Che pursed his lips and smiled.
He felt that after so many days, he had already accepted this matter.
Mu Wanqing said, "However, I didn't expect you to be a child of the Lu family. This is a good thing for you. In the future, even if you start to be the mistress, no one will dare to look down on you if they know that you are a child of the Lu family."
Lin Che said, "I haven't thought about that. Mom, you're so capable, you can actually continue doing this."
Mu Wanqing smiled and looked behind her, "Silly child, Mom has been doing this for so many years and is already tired. In addition, Qi just came back, so I can go out with him and do a lot of things. The heavy burden of the family should be handed over to you."
"…"
Mu Wanqing said, "Alright, when I heard that I was going to step down, I was so happy. Why do you look like you were forced to eat something disgusting? Your face is so ugly."
Lin Che said, "I, I, I, I just think that I might not know how to do it yet. But if you really leave it to me, Mom, I will try my best to do it."
Mu Wanqing looked at this silly girl and shook her head, "What a silly girl. Mistress is the most respected woman in this family. Everyone else is fighting for her, but you don't want her."
Lin Che sighed, "I know I don't have this diamond drill, but since I married Gu Jingze, I will still work hard to learn what I need to learn."
Mu Wanqing said, "Jingze has also found a good child. You don't covet these things, and you don't care about power at all. That's why Jingze dotes on you so much. What they don't understand is naturally not why Jingze has such a soft spot for you. It's because you are such a rare good child in this world that Jingze loves you so much."
"Mom … Your praise is making my face turn red."
On Gu Xiande's side, he also symbolically sent over a gift. Gu Xiande didn't come in and was only chatting with some of the clan members in the study. When Gu Jingze returned, he naturally went to the study to visit Gu Xiande. When he entered the study, he saw that many of the clan members were there. He smiled and said, "Grandfather's place is really lively today. Jingze is here to pay his respects to all the clan members."
Everyone looked at Gu Jingze and could only chuckle.
Gu Xiande snorted and said, "You've been really high-profile recently. However, I have to remind you, Jingze, the river flows east for thirty years and then west for thirty years. You still have to leave a way out for yourself."
Gu Jingze said, "Thank you for the reminder, grandfather. I'll remember it."
He looked at Gu Xiande, "It's just that grandfather and I both want the Gu family to be better and better. We just do things differently."
Gu Xiande didn't say anything. He looked at him and narrowed his dangerous eyes, but didn't say anything.
When Gu Jingze wasn't around, the clan members present still dared to say a few words, but now they didn't dare to say anything.
Originally, they thought that if Gu Jingze continued to cause trouble, something would happen sooner or later. However, they didn't expect that Gu Jingze would swiftly and decisively rectify the situation between these wealthy families. In an instant, his reputation and prestige had been established.
Gu Xiande only snorted, "Alright, I want to see how far you can take the Gu family."
Gu Xiande saw that the clan members were becoming more and more respectful towards him. In his heart, he also understood that he had lost his power. Even though he was a little unwilling, he couldn't change Gu Jingze's position in the Gu family and continue to develop steadily.
The clan members who were originally a little worried about him were slowly convinced after seeing how Gu Jingze dealt with his opponents with an iron fist. Although they would still come here to complain to him tearfully, it was getting less and less intense.
Gu Xiande said, "Alright, everyone go out. There are still many relatives and friends waiting outside."
Gu Xiande sat in his wheelchair and went out, surrounded by everyone. Outside, Lin Che was sitting together with Mu Wanqing. When her eyes met Gu Xiande's, she stood up and went over to greet him.
Although the clan members were convinced by Gu Jingze, the more powerful Gu Jingze was, the more they felt that the wife he married wasn't worthy of him. When they looked at Lin Che, their expressions were a little unwilling, and there was even a hint of disdain in their eyes.
Lin Che greeted Gu Xiande and said, "Hello, Grandpa."
Gu Xiande grunted in response. Everyone was still staring at her when a servant came in and said, "The Lu family is here to greet you, Old Master."
Although the New Year's was a gathering for the Gu family, the Lu family was related to the Gu family by marriage, so it wasn't wrong for them to come.
Gu Xiande paused for a moment, then raised his hand and asked the servant to invite them in.
The person who came in was Lu Qinyu and Lu Beichen's family of three. It was quite a full family.
Everyone was still very wary of the Lu family. Even the Gu family members knew that the Lu family's influence couldn't be underestimated. Gu Jingze could be said to be a little more powerful than them, but as clan members, they couldn't compare to the Lu family's influence at all.
Hence, everyone hurriedly came down to greet Lu Qinyu respectfully. However, when Lu Qinyu saw Lin Che, he immediately ran over.
"Little Che, you're here."
