“You… Minmin, don’t stop me. I must rip off that foul mouth of hers. There’s no need to be polite with this kind of person.”

Lu Chuxia saw Lin Che coming at her. Before anyone else could interfere, she made the first move and pulled Lin Che’s arm.

Yu Minmin saw this and really wanted to retaliate. She immediately grabbed hold of Lu Chuxia.

Lu Chuxia naturally couldn’t win against two people. The three of them got into a scuffle.

People in the distance were stunned, but nobody dared to approach them.

“What’s happening there?”

“They’re fighting. Let’s go. One is Gu Jingze’s wife, one is Madam President, and one is the young mistress of the Lu family. Which one can you afford to offend?”

“No way. Why are they fighting?”

“Why do you care? They naturally have their own reason to fight and they’re all powerful. There’s nothing wrong about family fighting with each other.”

“Exactly. Stay away from it. That is the battle zone of the wealthy first-class people. An average Joe like you better steer clear from it. Otherwise, you’d be caught up in it too.”

—

Lu Chuxia obviously couldn’t win against them. The bodyguards immediately noticed the commotion and went to stop them.

Lu Beichen hadn’t gone too far and immediately ran back.

Mu Wanqing wondered what happened and quickly came over to look.

“What happened? What are you lot doing?”

“Lin Che, Minmin, Chuxia? What’s going on?”

The three of them were eventually pried apart.

Mu Wanqing looked at the three ladies in surprise.

Lu Chuxia looked down to see that her skirt was torn.

She immediately gritted her teeth and said to Lin Che, “Lin Che, how dare you! This skirt is a limited edition and you can’t buy it anywhere else. You actually ruined it!”

Lin Che grunted, “You started it first and made the first move. You couldn’t win and now you’re blaming me?”

Lu Chuxia looked up. Seeing that Mu Wanqing was there, she looked down again and cried, “You see? Lin Che and Yu Minmin ganged up to bully me. They even ruined my clothes.”

Mu Wanqing had just recovered from her shock and was now sizing up the three ladies.

Mu Wanqing said, “Chuxia, Little Che, Minmin, don’t panic. What exactly is going on here?”

Lu Chuxia didn’t leave a chance for Lin Che to speak and immediately said, “It was Lin Che. She kept trying to lunge at me and attack me. Everyone must have seen it.”

Lin Che said, “You were being disrespectful first!”

“I only said some things that you didn’t like to hear and you tried to hit me. What kind of logic is that?” Lu Chuxia retorted.

Mu Wanqing held Lu Chuxia back and looked at her, “That’s enough, Chuxia. I believe Lin Che was in the wrong.”

Lu Chuxia immediately looked happily at Mu Wanqing, “Yes. Lin Che was blatantly bullying me. She must apologize to me.”

But Mu Wanqing cut her off, “However, Little Che would never do anything unreasonable. She is an understanding child and would never retaliate for no rhyme or reason.”

Lu Chuxia’s complexion immediately became rigid.

Lin Che also froze slightly and then she looked gratefully at Mu Wanqing.

Lu Chuxia said, “Aunty, you can’t use that one reason to stand on her side. My skirt is ruined now and this is the absolute evidence.”

Mu Wanqing said, “If you were the one to start it first, it’s also normal for Lin Che to retaliate. Alright, Chuxia. You are all still young and I won’t get mad if you bicker and fight. Just don’t let this happen again next time.”

Lin Che was aware that although Lu Chuxia came to cause trouble, it was still not right to fight here, even if it wasn’t on purpose.

She was too agitated at that moment and failed to realize it. Now, she looked up and saw people pointing and staring at them. Lin Che then felt that it was indeed not a good thing.

She said, “Mom, I’m sorry. It won’t happen again.”

But Lu Chuxia said, “Aunty, you’re being too biased towards Lin Che!”

Mu Wanqing looked at Lu Chuxia. She smiled, but her eyes were firm, “Lin Che is a child of the Gu family. If I’m not biased towards her, who else would I be biased towards?”

Biased towards an outsider?

Lu Chuxia was stunned.

Seeing Mu Wanqing standing together with Lin Che and Yu Minmin, her lone figure looked even more prominent and weak.

This was indeed the Gu household and she definitely didn’t want to offend Gu Jingze’s mother who was Madam Gu of the Gu family.

However, Lu Chuxia was still fuming, especially whenever she looked down and saw her good skirt that was actually ripped by Lin Che.

Lu Chuxia turned to look at Lin Che’s face hatefully. She gritted her teeth and said, “Fine, Lin Che. I won’t argue with you since it’s Aunty’s birthday today. However, you must apologize to me.”

Lin Che said as she looked at Lu Chuxia, “Why should I apologize to you? Understand this clearly: you came to create trouble in the first place.”

Lu Chuxia asked, “Why should you? Lin Che, if you feel indignant, fine! I’ll make a bet with you. Whoever loses will apologize and give way to the winner whenever they cross paths.”

They looked at each other, unable to comprehend what Lu Chuxia was trying to do this time.

Lu Chuxia narrowed her eyes at Lin Che, “What’s wrong? You don’t dare to take up the challenge? I suppose so. You’re a commoner who doesn’t know anything. You’re not a single bit compatible with Gu Jingze at all. It’s understandable if you’re not up to the challenge. You can admit it now then. Say that you don’t match up to Gu Jingze and I won’t pursue any issue with you.”

Lin Che’s eye twitched.

It was obvious that Lu Chuxia was trying to provoke and agitate her, but her heart was already weak and she indeed became agitated.

Yes, she had always felt that way. She was lucky enough to have met Gu Jingze. However, she had never done anything for Gu Jingze before. Instead, she had been burdening him.

Like what people said, there was no need to be so calculative when two people were together. It was not a competition and there was no need to compare who gave more.

But in her heart, she still hoped that she would be able to prove that she could stand by Gu Jingze’s side.

Lin Che looked at Lu Chuxia, “You need to first tell me. What do you want to do?”

“Next month, there will be a socialite party and all the elite families in C Nation will be attending. The Gu family will also be attending. There will be a vote for the top socialite. Do you dare to partake in this election? If you dare and you win me, I’ll immediately apologize to you. Furthermore, I will stay far away from you when I see you in the future. I won’t come close to you anymore.”

Top socialite?

Gu Jingze never mentioned that there was such a thing.

Lin Che had never heard of such a party.

Lu Chuxia said, “If you don’t dare to participate, you can admit defeat to me now. You will say that you don’t deserve Gu Jingze and you will apologize to me. Then, I will also stay far away from you but it will be only because you don’t deserve to be my rival.”

Lu Chuxia raised her head proudly. She looked at Lin Che, her eyes filled with strong confidence.

Lin Che stared plainly at Lu Chuxia.

At the side, Mu Wanqing and Yu Minmin had worried expressions on their faces.
