nThe two of them said goodbye to Granny and walked out together.

nGu Jingze’s car was already prepared. They sat in his car, no longer needing to take the train. They went straight to the provincial capital where the airport was.

nWatching a line of people leaving, people all around enviously watched Qiu Shuyun upgrade to a big house. They were amazed.

nBut she was the one with such a good granddaughter. She was starting to enjoy life in her golden years. All her suffering in the past was overshadowed.

nLin Che boarded the plane with Gu Jingze. On the plane, Lin Che kept staring at the photo she brought along.

nGu Jingze looked at her and asked, “Where is your mother’s grave?”

nLin Che said, “It’s at Nanshan Cemetery. I go there twice a year.”

n“Bring me there next time,” he looked at Lin Che and said.

nLin Che looked up and gazed silently at Gu Jingze.

nGu Jingze asked, “You are married to me. Shouldn’t I go visit my mother-in-law?”

nHe would never admit that the person from the Lin household was his father-in-law.

nBut when it came to Lin Che’s mother, it was needless to say.

nHe looked at the photo and also secretly thought that her mother was absolutely not like what was rumored. There must have been some unknown reason for the rumor of her as a mistress to spread.

nThey got down the plane and received news from the Gu family. They were preparing for Gu Jingyan’s wedding and needed Gu Jingze to go home.

nGu Jingze said to Lin Che, “Let’s head straight to the Gu house. I think we will be staying there tonight.”

n“Oh,” Lin Che replied. After leaving stubbornly for a few days and making Gu Jingze follow her in the small town, she wondered if she had taken up his time.

nHowever, Gu Jingze didn’t seem to mind. Lin Che could only look up apologetically at him.

nMeanwhile, the Gu house.

nLu Chuxia was visiting the Gu family. As the Lu family and Gu family were going to join in the matrimony, she spent more time here during the past few days. It was a pity that Gu Jingze was never around.

nGu Jingyan and Mu Wanqing walked out together and saw that Lu Chuxia was here again. Mu Wanqing said to Gu Jingyan, “Chuxia’s relationship with Beichen is really deep. The sister cares so much about her brother’s wedding.”

nGu Jingyan didn’t want to say that she was caring about Gu Jingze and not herself.

nMu Wanqing didn’t dislike Lu Chuxia and she was fond of her brother. She just was a little unhappy with Lu Beichen. He was going to be married soon and yet he only showed his face a couple of times.

n“She cares more than the brother,” Mu Wanqing said.

nGu Jingyan smiled, “He’s definitely busier than Chuxia as the heir to the Lu family. All the wedding stuff is already settled anyway.”

nMu Wanqing said, “I quite like you with Beichen. You two match well, his family background is good, and he’s a nice person. He’s a bit frivolous, but it’s a good thing among these guys. It’s also good that he’s running his own company. It’ll be good to work together and help each other out in the future. But he doesn’t really seem to care about you, so of course, I’m a little worried.”

nGu Jingyan said, “Mom, I don’t need some man to care about me. It’s just a wedding. We’re busy with our own work and we’re fine like this. I’m not like some carefree, stay-at-home wife who constantly needs company.”

nMu Wanqing said, “A girl shouldn’t be too strong-headed.”

nGu Jingyan said, “I like being this way. What’s the point of idling at home? I like to work.”

nMu Wanqing sighed and looked at Gu Jingyan.

nGu Jingyan watched Mu Wanqing leave and then looked at Lu Chuxia.

nIndeed, this sister was more caring than her brother.

nGu Jingyan thought that this was the marriage she wanted. She couldn’t blame anyone else and she wouldn’t do that.

nActually, Gu Jingyan and Lu Beichen have always been stirred together by others since they were in high school.

nBut at that time, it was because they were constantly competing for top student.

nAnd Gu Jingyan was just someone who never showed her weakness. She was always suppressing Lu Beichen from the moment they entered high school and until they graduated. He was the second place for three years.

nAt that time, they were friends and enemies. She, Fu Chenxi, Lu Beichen, Ruan Qingshan and Guo Junyan. The five of them were always together and stuck to each other like shadows. But none of them knew about her feelings for Lu Beichen until the end… Fu Chenxi’s family background was not good and was looked down on by the Lu family. Thus, she left Lu Beichen. Gu Jingyan then had a future with Lu Beichen.

nSomeone once told her, “Gu Jingyan, you’re so stupid. Since you knew that you wanted to be with Beichen, why didn’t you give in to him more in high school? Let him try to be the boss. When he marries, he will definitely remember how you abused him for three years.”

nAnother person told her, “After you marry Jingyan, you must never be so competitive anymore. You must bow your head more in front of your husband.”

nGu Jingyan knew that she and Lu Beichen were a great match, whether it was in bed, work, or life. However… in terms of feelings, they were both strong-headed and didn’t know how to show weakness.

nGu Jingyan could only smile at those people and told them that she was just like that. But she never told anybody that no matter how much weakness she displayed, that man would never change towards her. In his heart, the best woman was Fu Chenxi and Gu Jingyan would never be Fu Chenxi.

nGu Jingyan looked at Lu Chuxia.

n“Chuxia, I think you should just give up now. I don’t think my second brother will be moved by you. This person’s brain is too stubborn.”

nLu Chuxia replied, “My brain is also stubborn. I want to see whose brain is more stubborn.”

nLu Chuxia thought that this could be her only chance. The woman beside him now was not Mo Huiling but rather, a woman who didn’t deserve him. If she wasn’t going to get him now, all the other socialites were going to go crazy over him when he breaks off with that woman one day. She needed to have a head start. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have a chance with so much competition.

nJust then, a maid from outside said that Second Young Master and his wife were here.

nLu Chuxia froze. Did that Lin Che also follow him here?

nAs the maid spoke, she already stood up and followed Gu Jingyan out.

nGu Jingyan looked at her, “My sister-in-law is with my second brother.”

nLu Chuxia said, “That’s why I wanted to take a look.”

nShe wanted to see how this Lin Che looked like. How was she able to make Gu Jingze give up Mo Huiling and marry her instead? Even though it was a forced marriage, she also wanted to see what kind of woman could make the Gu family want to bring her in.
