Chapter 1210 - What Kind Of Pretense Was He Trying To Put Up
Chapter 1210 What Kind Of Pretense Was He Trying To Put Up
At the moment, he was leaning backward and drinking tea in complete disregard of everyone else. He sat there and did not say a word either.
When Mu Wanqing saw An Lan enter, she quickly kicked him. “An Lan, you’re here. It has been a tough journey. Quick, come take a seat.”
Gu Jingyu did not want to move. Again, Mu Wanqing stuck her leg out and kicked him secretly.
Gu Jingyu frowned but stood up nonetheless.
However, he stood a bit lopsidedly like a complete gangster.
This was very different from the usual him.
He looked the part of a profligate son and the kind who had been spoiled and who had developed various rebellious habits at that.
Although Gu Jingyu was the most rebellious child in the Gu family, he was absolutely different from the profligate sons of other families as the Gu family’s upbringing was more strict.
The Gu family had its own bottom line. Things, like turning to cause a complete ruckus for no reason and indulging in debauchery, would definitely not exist in the Gu family.
But Gu Jingyu was the movie king after all…
He had acted in all sorts of roles. Acting any kind of role was easy for him.
He glanced askance at the side with his hands in his pockets. Then, he pursed his lips and said, “This is An Lan, huh?”
An Lan immediately felt disappointed.
Initially, she had thought that even though he was not the head of the household and was even a celebrity, he was ultimately part of the Gu family and should not be too different.
However, the head of the household Gu Jingze had earlier given off a sense of maturity, dignity, and a reserved dominance. But why did the man in front of her… look so flighty?
An Lan looked at him, unable to hide the gloominess on her face.
Mu Wanqing was also astounded. She tugged at Gu Jingyu and asked, “What are you doing?”
Gu Jingyu asked, “What did I do again?”
How dare he ask what he had done.
He had not been like this previously.
Mu Wanqing secretly pinched Gu Jingyu. “You better stand properly.”
“Oh no…” Gu Jingyu immediately shouted.
An Lan was even more shocked.
Why was the Gu family’s Third Young Master so, so…
So disappointing.
Of course, Mu Wanqing knew her son well.
He was doing this on purpose.
Mu Wanqing was just about to continue prodding him when she saw the door on the other side open. Then, Gu Jingze and Lin Che walked in one after another.
Gu Jingze looked at Gu Jingyu. He seemed to see through his actions with one look. Turning his lip corners up in a smile, he said, “Miss An, please don’t mind him. Jingyu is still a child and has a very strong urge to perform. He hides his emotions in such a way only when he meets someone who makes him nervous.”
“…”
Gu Jingyu glared at him. What did he mean, hiding his emotions?
Gu Jingze was here to ruin things for him, right?
An Lan looked at Gu Jingze before looking at Gu Jingyu.
There were similarities in their appearances. Both of them looked so sensual and captivating.
However, there was truly a world of difference in their dispositions.
An Lan looked on as Gu Jingze pulled a chair out for Lin Che to sit on first. Then, he also pulled a chair out for himself to sit on.
He was the head of the household and was even so meticulous and considerate to help Lin Che do everything.
But Gu Jingyu…
An Lan looked at Gu Jingze and then at Gu Jingyu. She genuinely wondered why she was so unlucky.
If she had made it a bit earlier and could have came for a blind date before Gu Jingze had gotten married, then she could have married Gu Jingze. Unfortunately, she had been too young a few years ago and her family could not bear to marry her off.
It was only when she turned 20 now that her family quickly told her to come here for a blind date. But Gu Jingze was already married.
Although Gu Jingyu had not gotten married, he behaved in this manner…
Lin Che also looked at the girl who had come for a blind date, before looking at Gu Jingyu…
He was infinitely different from the usual Gu Jingyu, who shone brilliantly and attracted the gazes of numerous fangirls wherever he went.
Although he was usually rebellious and arrogant, he definitely looked cold and had the charisma of a male lead.
But now… he had turned into a complete gangster.
Her eyes moved and she also understood. This Gu Jingyu was way too much of a troublemaker.
Lin Che looked at the way he was behaving and genuinely wanted to laugh. However, of course, she could not laugh out loud in front of an outsider.
She suppressed her urge to laugh. When she really could not hold back, she hastily told Gu Jingze in advance, “I’ll go out for a walk first.”
“I’ll accompany you.” He was also about to stand up.
Lin Che said, “No need. I’ll go on my own. I’ll be back soon.”
It was probably preferable for him to be here when it came to matters like Gu Jingyu’s blind date. She could go out on her own just fine.
Outside, the maids looked at Lin Che and bowed slightly.
Someone walked over to her. She looked at Lin Che, lowered her head, and said, “Madam, Old Master wants to see you.”
Lin Che asked, “Old Master?”
Gu Xiande?
She had not seen him for a long time.
Because he had been recuperating ever since he had fallen ill and would get irritated upon seeing Lin Che, of course, she would not cause him any disturbance. He had not taken the initiative to ask her to visit him either. So over this period, the two of them had been living in peace with each other.
She asked, “Why did Old Master ask for me?”
“Madam, I don’t know. You’ll probably find out if you go over.”
Lin Che knew that the wily old foxes in the Gu family would not let anything slip. Even if they knew everything as clearly as a mirror reflected, they definitely would not say too much in front of their masters.
Therefore, Lin Che did not waste any more of her energy asking about it. As he had said, she would know as soon as she went over to take a look.
After entering the antique room, she saw Gu Xiande seated in his wheelchair and drinking tea inside.
He looked at Lin Che. They had not met for a long time. During that time, his aged face seemed to have grown so many wrinkles that she nearly could not tell what he used to look like.
He looked at Lin Che. “Lin Che.”
Lin Che said, “Grandfather, is your health alright?”
“Hehe. Thank you for taking the trouble to worry about me.” It could not be said that he was sarcastic with his words. He was genuinely grateful that she was still willing to call him ‘Grandfather’ and greet him like this.
Even if Lin Che did not like Gu Xiande, he was ultimately still Gu Jingze’s grandfather. Bearing a grudge against him would only make Gu Jingze’s job as the head of the family difficult. She was no fool, either. She would not do that.
Gu Xiande said, “I know that you resent me for not standing on your side.”
Lin Che said, “Grandfather, we have different positions and different ways of thinking. But I can’t say that I resent you either. I can only say that we have no affinity.”
“Haha. What a good use of the term ‘no affinity.'” He looked at Lin Che. “I asked you to come today just because I missed you. Come here. I want to have a good look at you.”
“I’m grateful that Grandfather still thinks about me.”
“Hn. Apart from the fact that you’re not suited to be the mistress of the Gu family and you’re not a good match for Jingze, I still like you very much.”
Lin Che smiled.
Gu Xiande said, “But you really can’t be the mistress of the household.”
Lin Che said, “When you don’t like someone, you’ll constantly think that everything about her is not good. Although you have been through so many things in life, you’re ultimately still human and not God. I can understand completely why you have no confidence in me.”
“Hahaha. Sure, sure. Whatever you say. But the Gu family is such a huge family with so many people. You still don’t know how complex the human psyche can be.”
At the moment, he was leaning backward and drinking tea in complete disregard of everyone else. He sat there and did not say a word either.
