Lu Qinyu looked at Gu Jingze and smiled, “She was my student and also my star pupil. I believed that I created her. I transformed her from that small little girl to an independent and opinionated lady. However, we later lost touch. Even now, I have no idea where she went or how she is now.”

Gu Jingze narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Qinyu, “Then do you know what’s her name?”

“Her name is Su Cen.”

Gu Jingze was in deep thought.

He looked ahead silently.

Su Cen…

That was…

Just then, Lin Che returned from outside.

Seeing as the two of them seemed to be in a serious conversation, she asked, “Are you talking about work? I’ll go out again.”

“No, no, we weren’t. Come in and sit. Dinner will be ready soon. Come sit for a while and we can eat later.”

Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che and did not move for a long time.

He stared at Lin Che until she felt weird. She looked at Gu Jingze as she ate some grapes, “Why do you keep staring at me?”

Gu Jingze smiled, “Because you look good. Can’t I look at you?”

Lin Che blushed.

It felt really weird to be complemented by Gu Jingze.

Gu Jingze stuffed a grape into her mouth, “Eat your grapes.”

Lu Qinyu watched the interaction between the two of them and thought that this lass was indeed lucky.

If only Su Cen could also be as fortunate…

Perhaps she was. Su Cen was a good, pretty girl. Perhaps she was in the arms of a man who loved her right now, living an ordinary and blissful life.

On the outside.

Lu Chuxia was being watched over and was not allowed to go in.

Lu Chuxia was furious. She had actually been denied entry into her own home and her father’s living room. She could only watch from the outside as Gu Jingze and Lin Che displayed their affection inside. She might as well be killed than to go through this feeling.

Thankfully, it wasn’t long before Gu Jingze came out.

Lu Chuxia looked at Gu Jingze, pursed her lips, and walked to him, “Gu Jingze, do you really want to fight me to the death?”

Gu Jingze looked at Lu Chuxia, “I’ve already put up with you for a long time, but you’re only getting out of hand. If you really think the card you have in your hand is enough to threaten me, then you’re really underestimating me too much.”

“You…” Lu Chuxia said, “I’m underestimating you? Jingze, I only want to be with you. What’s so bad about being with me? As long as you get together with me, this secret will forever be a secret. Otherwise, you can’t touch me or do anything to me, the mistress of the Lu family. But what is Lin Che? She knows your secret and you only need to make this worthless person disappear right now.”

“Shut up,” Gu Jingze stared at Lu Chuxia, not wanting to hear anything negative about Lin Che. Not a single person was allowed to do that.

Gu Jingze looked at Lu Chuxia, “You’ve also witnessed that your father is very fond of Lin Che.”

Lu Chuxia did see that and she was enraged.

She said hatefully, “So what about that? I am still his own daughter.”

Gu Jingze looked in front indifferently, “Very well. I wonder how he would feel if I tell him that his own daughter is actually calculating his assets and relying on men she met outside to transfer assets to an overseas account.”

Lu Chuxia froze.

How did he… Did he look into her?

“You… Gu Jingze, what are you talking about?”

Gu Jingze said, “Because you’re our relative now, so I already discovered the changes in the Lu family a long time ago but I didn’t express them out loud. In any case, you’re a grandchild of the Lu family and it shouldn’t be a big deal for you to use some of the Lu family’s money. However, since you’ve been so aggressive towards me, I’m not sure if I can continue being your relative.”

Lu Chuxia’s heart trembled.

She did all these because the family was too strict towards her finances.

The Lu family was strict on their children. They were not allowed to squander too much money.

In order for her to maintain her number one position as a socialite and because she was always spending a lot of money, she had no choice but to… use this method.

She found many men who could help her transfer some money out.

She didn’t expect Gu Jingze to actually find out about this now.

Lu Chuxia’s eyes shifted and she looked at Gu Jingze, “You… Do you think that I’d be afraid of you saying it out loud? This is nothing compared to that secret of yours.”

Gu Jingze said, “It is nothing, but if people knew that the top socialite used her charms to seduce men and win their favor by sleeping with them, I believe your reputation will be ruined.”

Lu Chuxia was instantly stunned.

Gu Jingze actually knew about this too…

Lu Chuxia bit her lip as her mind blanked out.

Gu Jingze’s calmness over the past few days made her think that he had already subjected himself to her. Was he actually investigating her all this time in the dark?

Gu Jingze was indeed scary. He did things so inconspicuously and she could never tell from his face that he was doing all these in the dark.

Lu Chuxia’s face was dismal. She could only lean against the wall to support her own body.

She thought about how he actually knew about all her disgraceful acts.

However, all this didn’t matter. She was still the top socialite.

She clenched her fists, looked up, and said to Gu Jingze, “But you can’t tell anyone either. We both have our own secrets. You can’t say it out loud and… If you make me unhappy, I can also choose to fight you to the death. You can’t make me unhappy. Otherwise, we will all go down together.”

Gu Jingze scoffed and said, “Why would I make you unhappy? No matter what, we are still relatives. I won’t make you unhappy. You can rest assured.”

How could she rest assured? Looking at Gu Jingze, she was angry and depressed. However, she could only look at him.

Gu Jingze very quickly went in.

Lu Chuxia stood there. She felt tragically painful.

Nobody could understand how much effort she had to put in to maintain her position as the number one socialite.

Now, she was actually attacked by this Lin Che.

What right did Lin Che have?

Lu Chuxia saw Lin Che and Gu Jingze coming out together.

Lu Qinyu looked extremely happy at the side. When he talked to Lin Che, he really didn’t look like Lu Qinyu at all.

Since when was her father so amiable to others?

Lu Chuxia wanted to use the hard-kept secret to capture Gu Jingze. In the end, she didn’t get anything at all. What she felt in her heart now was really indescribable.

Her feelings were complex and there were all kinds of feelings.

In a fit of anger, Lu Chuxia went to them. When Lin Che was about to leave, Lu Chuxia immediately pushed her aside without saying anything. After knocking Lin Che, she grunted angrily and walked in.
