Yang Lingxin chuckled, “Granny, you have no idea. The president is Gu Jingze’s elder brother. The biggest building in C Nation is Gu Jingze’s. The best house is Gu Jingze’s. The richest is also Gu Jingze. Thus, Sister Che couldn’t have married anyone better.”
“Oh my, that’s wonderful,” she didn’t quite understand but she knew what ‘couldn’t have married anyone better’ meant.
She sighed in amazement and mumbled, “I’ve never stayed in such a good place. Really, this is like a palace.”
However, Yang Lingxin already didn’t want to say anything else. She turned away and her expression became cold.
Granny stayed here to recuperate and Lin Che’s mind was also put at ease. She headed immediately to her company to handle some work with Yu Minmin.
The Panda TV Festival very soon released an announcement for the list of nominees and it was quickly published on the Internet.
Everybody saw Lin Che’s name in the Best Female Lead nominees for her first lead role in a TV drama. Immediately, everybody was extremely amazed.
However, people soon realized that Mu Feiran was also a contender for Best Female Lead.
Netizens immediately said that it was doomed. Lin Che probably didn’t have a chance. If there was Mu Feiran, nobody else had a chance.
But some others still said that it was not certain. Perhaps Panda TV Festival wanted to do something special this year by letting Lin Che cause a big turn in events to catch attention.
However, everyone in the company was rather down-spirited. It was not easy to be nominated but it turned out that Mu Feiran was nominated too. This was a disaster.
Lin Che clapped her hands and said to everybody, “Alright, sisters. I’m just taking a look today. We’ll definitely win the award next year, okay?”
Yu Minmin said at the side, “Enough! Is that how you boost morale? You’re simply giving up like this.”
Lin Che replied, “Forget it. With Sister Feiran around, I definitely don’t have a chance. It’s alright anyway since I managed to get nominated. Look at the list of nominees; they are all major players at the frontline. Being able to squeeze in and add to the numbers is also a kind of honor, isn’t it?”
Yu Minmin said, “You’re right. Oh well, the chances may not be big but we are still attending the Panda TV Festival. We have to get our spirits up and prepare Lin Che’s battle gown. Also, let’s see if there are any good sponsors. If we’re able to get some big brands to sponsor us, I believe that it’ll make her very eye-catching.”
Everybody heard the two of them and began to get busy.
At night, Shen Youran heard that Lin Che’s grandmother was here. Thus, she came over to visit Granny specifically.
Shen Youran and Lin Che walked forward. She looked ahead strangely, “Gu Jingze is too good to you and he even bought such a big house for your Granny. But it’s true that this house is heaven to us and probably just one other property to people like Gu Jingze.”
Shen Youran was very fun to talk to and was obedient. Granny had a very good impression of her but since she just had an operation, she still needed to rest. The two of them sat there for a while before Shen Youran instructed the maids to look after Granny and then left.
When they were going their separate ways, Shen Youran received a call from home asking her to quickly go back to discuss something.
Shen Youran speechlessly said, “My mom and dad are busy finding me a boyfriend. Seriously, it’s like they want me to marry off tomorrow.”
Lin Che said, “If that’s the case, I actually think our Doctor Chen is not bad.”
“Forget it. I can’t climb that high. Okay, bye bye. I’m going back first.”
Shen Youran bade farewell to Lin Che there.
Shen Youran walked home. She was worried that she would see a bunch of people at home yet again, so she picked up her phone and called her mother in advance.
“Mom, why exactly do you want me home? I told you that I’ll never agree to an arrangement again. Don’t you think about cheating me into it.”
“I’m really not trying to matchmake for you. I heard from your sister that your boss is very rich and always brings you home. I want to ask if you can borrow his car so your dad can drive it back to his hometown. He’ll have some face, won’t he?”
She didn’t expect that.
Shen Youran said speechlessly to her mother, “Don’t listen to her talk blindly. I’m not that close with our boss.”
Chen Yucheng did send her home regularly but that was because she always worked overtime until late at night because of him.
“If you’re not close, why would he send you home daily? Let me ask you. Does your boss want to have some kind of relationship with you?”
“That’s impossible, Mom. Let me tell you, our boss has an annual salary of thirty million and he has his own office. He is an extraordinarily capable man. Do you think he would fancy your daughter?”
“He’s that capable? Then he probably won’t marry you but he probably just wants to play with you. Youran, don’t fall for his trap just because he’s loaded.”
“Mom! Are you really my mother?” Shen Youran said. “I know I can’t match up to that but how can I be that foolish? Okay, I’m going to hang up. I’m not going to be able to borrow the car so you can forget about that.”
Shen Youran sometimes felt that Lin Che was actually quite lucky to be alone and didn’t have to care about the Lin family. Meanwhile, she had to live with her family in such a small house. There was no personal space at all.
She took public transport and soon reached the small alley near her home. Before she entered the door, a man grabbed her hand.
Shen Youran almost screamed in shock. Under the dark shadow of the tree, the man covered her mouth and said, “Shh, be quiet.”
Shen Youran looked up and saw that the person in front of her turned out to be none other than that damned Zhou Minhan.
She had beat him up until he ended up in the hospital last time. He still dared to come here now.
Shen Youran looked at him speechlessly, “Why are you here again? I’m warning you… if you dare to touch me again, I won’t go easy on you.”
Shen Youran stepped out.
Zhou Minhan chased up to her, “Youran, it wasn’t easy for me to come and find you either. Aren’t you going back to our school’s anniversary?”
“No thanks.”
“Don’t do this. Think about our past…”
“Our past disappeared ever since you slept with that slut.”
“Youran, why are you doing this? I’ve already apologized to you and I’ve been begging you. Don’t be so stubborn. Don’t you see? Which part of me is bad? My family is good, my looks aren’t bad, and you’re not a kid anymore either. You already graduated and it’s time for you to think about your future. If you miss out on me, do you know if you’ll have another chance to meet a good man?”
“Let go of Shen Youran,” just then, a voice rang coldly from behind…
Zhou Minhan turned around to see that the man who entered was the one with Shen Youran at the hospital that day.
He didn’t take a good look today. Now, he narrowed his eyes and looked at him seriously.
This man… how was he related to Shen Youran? Why did he suddenly appear at her house…
