When Lin Che came out of the washroom, she heard everyone still discussing .
“Gu Jingze actually came . ”
“Yes . The Gu family just joined the Lu family in marriage . Gu Jingze has to at least give some face to his own sister and interact more with the Lu family . ”
“That Lu family's daughter had her eyes set on him long ago . Didn't you see how she clung onto him from just now?”
“Ha, that Lu family's daughter used to be so reserved and proud . She had so many suitors but she didn't even look at them . ”
“She didn't fancy any of them because she had been waiting for this one . She is being too ambitious to set her sight on Gu Jingze . ”
“Who doesn't want to be Mrs . Gu?”
Lin Che couldn't help but clench her fists .
Who didn't want to be Mrs . Gu? Yes, it seemed like Lu Chuxia already had an open secret, but she didn't seem to care at all .
What about Gu Jingze? Did he care?
Lin Che walked out, so preoccupied in her thoughts that she accidentally bumped into someone .
“Oh my, I'm sorry . Are you okay? Let me see,” Lin Che looked at the old man who appeared to have fallen on the ground . He sat there with pale lips, seemingly in a bad condition .
Lin Che got scared . She quickly asked with a concerned voice, “Ah, sir . Are you ill?”
The old man looked up at Lin Che . The moment he saw her, he went silent .
“You… You are…” He suddenly grabbed Lin Che's wrist and spoke .
Lin Che was even more taken aback . She quickly said, “Sir, don't be afraid . I'm not going anywhere . I know it was me who knocked into you . Quick, check if there are any problems on your body . ”
He only looked intensely at Lin Che . He narrowed his eyes as if scrutinizing her every facial expression .
Lin Che couldn't help but feel strange . She looked at the old man, “Sir, are you alright? Are you really hurt somewhere? Tell me, I'll help you check . ”
But the old man held onto Lin Che's arm and looked at her, “No, no . I'm not hurt . ”
Lin Che felt that there was something off about this old man . She looked at him worriedly and asked, “What exactly happened? I think you got hurt, sir . ”
He looked at her weirdly for a long time and then seemed to slowly return to normal . He sighed and said to her, “No, no . Little lass, I'm not hurt . I just thought that you look like someone I know . What's your name?”
Lin Che said, “I'm Lin Che . ”
“Oh, Lin Che… That's a nice name . I'm fine . You don't have to worry about me,” the old man said .
Lin Che still felt that something was up with him, “Sir, let me help you up . Don't move . ”
She helped him up, looked at him and said, “Sir, if there is something wrong, you must tell me . I'll take you for treatment . I bumped into you, so I should be responsible . ”
The old man smiled and waved his hand dismissively, “I'm really fine . You didn't bump into me . I was careless too . ”
“How can that be? It was still my fault . I didn't see where I was going . I don't know what went on in my head, so I wasn't seeing clearly . Sorry, sir,” Lin Che said apologetically .
He looked at Lin Che, “Most people who bump into someone else would push the blame onto the other party . You are so kind to insist that it's your responsibility . ”
“Because it is my responsibility, to begin with . Sir, where is your family? Shall I help you to look for them?”
“My family is outside . It's fine, I can go alone,” he looked at Lin Che . “Which family's daughter are you?
Your surname is Lin? Are you the Lin family's daughter? That can't be right . Nobody from the Lin family is here . ”
“Sir, I'm not some big shot . I'm just a little transparent thing here for a free meal,” Lin Che helplessly squeezed her brows .
“Huh? A little what? A little transparent thing?”
“Oh, a little transparent thing means that when I walk by, I'm invisible to others because I don't have a sense of presence,” she explained .
“Haha, there's such a saying? Little lass, how can you be a little transparent thing? You're very pretty,” he looked at her eyes and spoke .
Lin Che's eyes narrowed as she smiled, “Thank you for your compliment . Hehe . But there are plenty of beauties around today . I'd better not indulge myself too much . Otherwise, it won't be good if I get attacked . ”
“You are really interesting, little lass . ”
Lin Che asked, “Well, sir, where exactly is your family?”
“Over there . I can go by myself . Please go ahead and enjoy yourself!”
“Alright, then…” she thought for a while and then stopped the maid at the side to ask for a pen and paper .
Then, she wrote her own phone number on it, “Sir, if you can't find your family or if you feel uncomfortable, please call me . ”
She then said to the person beside her, “Help me take care of this man . He fell down when I bumped into him just now . Make sure he's not hurt . ”
The maid at the side looked in horror at the old man, then back at her and nodded profusely .
Lin Che then smiled at the old man and turned around happily to leave .
Gu Jingze grabbed hold of Lin Che as he had been searching for her .
Lin Che got a shock . She looked up to see that it was Gu Jingze and then let out a breath of relief .
Gu Jingze asked, “Where did you run off to, dummy?”
Lin Che said, “I went to the washroom but I bumped into someone outside and that delayed me for a while . ”
Gu Jingze heard her say this and then frowned . He lowered his head and looked closely at her, “Who did you bump into? Was there a problem? Where were you hit?”
“No, no, I'm fine . ” He made her spin around as he looked intensely at her .
Seeing that Lin Che was indeed fine, he then relaxed .
Lin Che said, “I told you I'm fine . ”
Gu Jingze tapped her head, “Don't get lost next time . ”
“Seriously, I'm not a little kid!” Lin Che raises her head in protest .
Gu Jingze thought about how he was so worried during the brief period she left . He always felt that something was bound to happen whenever she was out of his sight .
This kind of feeling was way too frustrating . He knew nothing should be able to happen here since the security was on tight alert and his men were stationed everywhere . However, he still didn't feel safe in his heart .
He really wanted to simply put this little lass in his pocket .
Just then, Lu Chuxia's voice could be heard .
“Lin Che, where did you go? Jingze seemed to be very worried about you just now . ”
Lin Che looked at the pretentious Lu Chuxia . This time, her attitude was exceptionally good .
So good that it was suspicious .
Lin Che said, “It's nothing . I was just out for a walk . ” She looked coldly at Lu Chuxia, thinking that she was already avoiding her but Lu Chuxia actually still came right up to her . Seriously…
