She had her fair share of slaps. What was one more?

Her mouth twitched and she looked at Lu Chuxia. She still could not figure out how Lu Chuxia found out about Gu Jingze’s secret.

However, behind her, Gu Jingyu saw Lu Chuxia’s expression and felt that something was definitely wrong.

He gritted his teeth and tilted his head to look.

After a long time, he suddenly walked quickly to them.

He pulled Lin Che to him abruptly.

Gu Jingyu had unexpectedly interfered again before Lin Che could respond. Lu Chuxia found this unpredictable man utterly detestable.

“You… why are you here again, Gu Jingyu?” Lu Chuxia shouted.

Gu Jingyu snorted. “Do whatever you want. But today, I won’t allow anyone to even touch Lin Che.”

“You… Gu Jingyu, you’ll regret this. I have something on Gu Jingze.”

“Whatever. I’ll see if you dare to use it! I’ll regret it? You’re the one who will regret it if you really dare to use whatever information you have against him.”

While saying this, without caring about what other people might think, Gu Jingyu took Lin Che with him and walked out.

“Hey…” Lin Che really felt that she was going crazy. This Gu Jingyu was truly too persistent in his own ways…

However, Lu Chuxia could only stomp her feet in the background as she watched Gu Jingyu take Lin Che away.

Lin Li had not expected that even with Lu Chuxia to back her up, she would nevertheless be overshadowed by Gu Jingyu.

He had simply taken Lin Che away.

And there was nothing Lu Chuxia could do about it.

Why did Lin Che have so many people helping her out?

Having failed to get her way this time, Lu Chuxia looked around before saying to Lin Li, “Let’s go. We’ll get to this bitch eventually.”

After witnessing such a scene, everyone was thinking to themselves that although Lu Chuxia was powerful, the Gu family was completely unafraid of the Lu family. Ultimately, Gu Jingyu was the Third Young Master of the Gu family. He truly had nothing to be afraid of. With him to protect Lin Che, Lin Che was not necessarily in a worse position than Lin Li.

While Gu Jingyu was pulling her away, Lin Che looked at Gu Jingyu and said, “Alright already. She just wanted to slap me once. It’s really nothing.”

“It might not have ended with just a slap. I know Lu Chuxia pretty well. She’s very cunning. You should stay as far away from her as possible.” Gu Jingyu continued, “By the way, now that she has her eyes on you, it’ll be really difficult for you to escape. Why on earth did you get together with my Second Brother? Ugh, you’ll definitely suffer in the future.”

There was nothing Lin Che could do about it either. She glared at him as she replayed Lu Chuxia’s earlier words in her mind.

Lu Chuxia had discovered Gu Jingze’s secret…

Would everything really be alright?

Outside, a crowd of fans had gathered after somehow finding out that there was an argument going on here.

After many difficulties, the security managed to chase everyone away. However, no one knew who had leaked the information about Lin Li wanting to slap Lin Che and Gu Jingyu saving her from Lin Li.

At the moment, everyone was filled with even more delusional thoughts about Gu Jingyu. They thought that Lin Che was unbelievably lucky. It must have been a beautiful sight: the hero saving the damsel in distress. Lin Li had nothing better to do than to create trouble for Lin Che. She was truly deserving of the name of the evil second female lead. Aside from being unable to match up to Lin Che’s charm, she only knew to look for trouble at Lin Che’s doorstep.

When Lin Che was about to go back, Gu Jingze called her.

“Let’s go somewhere together tomorrow. When the time comes, I’ll get someone to take you.”

“Oh, alright.” As Gu Jingze sounded like he was talking business, Lin Che answered him very quickly as well.

After putting down the phone, Gu Jingze called Lu Chuxia to tell her that he would be at the Lu residence soon.

Lu Chuxia had been in a pretty bad mood the entire day. Her mood only lightened considerably when Gu Jingze called.

She thought to herself that she had to decorate the house properly today. It would be best if she could invite him into her room and use the chance to see if anything would happen if she touched him this time.

She thought that since he was completely fine when he was with Lin Che, perhaps he had allergic reactions only at certain times. Otherwise, how could he have been with Mo Huiling back then?

The next day, Lin Che got dressed nicely and got into the car with Gu Jingze.

She raised her head and said, “Are we going to some social event?”

Gu Jingze said, “You can say that.”

“Are we going to a very high-end place?”

“Yes. You’ll know when we arrive. There’s no need for you to be nervous. In any case, we’re just going there for a while.”

“Oh, alright. I’m not nervous!” Lin Che encouraged herself. However, she only realized when they arrived at their destination that it was a little different from what she had expected.

It was unexpectedly the Lu residence!

Lin Che got out of the car and looked around the courtyard of the Lu residence. It seemed slightly similar to the Gu residence, but at the same time, it seemed a little different.

“Good lord, why did you bring me here? Are you mad? I… I- I- I.” By coming into Lu Chuxia’s territory at a time like this, she was basically committing suicide.

But Gu Jingze just looked at her and said, “You don’t have to worry about a thing. It’s time we laid all our cards on the table.”

“What?” Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze as he strode in and rushed after him. “What cards?”

“Let’s go. Leave everything to me.” Gu Jingze grabbed Lin Che’s hand and clasped it before walking in.

Lu Chuxia was inside. When she heard that Gu Jingze was here, she immediately became extremely happy.

She had invited many people to her house for a party. She had told everyone that she had invited Gu Jingze.

Everyone was skeptical and questioned if Gu Jingze was on such good terms with her to the point that he would actually come to her house.

Lu Chuxia responded very arrogantly by saying, “It’s not a big deal for Gu Jingze to come. We’ve always been really close since we were young. You can actually say that we grew up together. He just prefers to keep a low profile.”

Everyone thought that it made sense and said enviously to Lu Chuxia, “You’re so lucky to have grown up together with Gu Jingze. We definitely won’t have such a chance anymore. We can only use our association with you to meet Gu Jingze.”

Lu Chuxia said proudly, “Yes. Gu Jingze is more aloof towards outsiders and doesn’t like to participate in group events either. However, you guys got pretty lucky today since you’ll see him here later. Still, don’t get too close to him later. Don’t get too excited either. Jingze is a person who doesn’t really like noise.”

Although everyone felt that Lu Chuxia was a little too arrogant with no sense of shame. She was so arrogant and conceited that they did, in fact, feel envious. At the same time, they wondered if there was something going on between Gu Jingze and Lu Chuxia.

While the relationships among these wealthy people were mostly very messy, Gu Jingze always had a good reputation.

However, in any case, Lu Chuxia was C Nation’s top socialite. There were plenty of men who wanted to try something with her just because of her title. Gu Jingze had the same right to do so. Thus, for their relationship to be a little messy… it was completely understandable.

Just then, someone outside announced that Gu Jingze was here.

Lu Chuxia walked out in a hurry.

However, the moment she went out, she saw that Gu Jingze had actually brought Lin Che with him.

Lu Chuxia’s smile immediately stiffened. As she looked at them, she felt unexplainably gloomy.

Thereafter, she began to get angry.

What did Gu Jingze mean by this?

Could it be that he was really unafraid of her exposing everything?

Without hesitation, Lu Chuxia walked towards them angrily.

When she caught sight of Gu Jingze and Lin Che, she glared fiercely at the ever-interfering Lin Che first before saying bluntly to Gu Jingze, “I told you to come alone. Why did you bring someone else along?”

Gu Jingze looked at Lu Chuxia. “When did you ever say that I should come alone? Furthermore, when did I, Gu Jingze, have to ever ask for anyone’s permission to bring someone with me?”
