Lin Che gritted her teeth at Shen Youran. What a pig friend, talking nonsense.

Gu Jingze looked up at Shen Youran and smiled slightly.

His apparent default expression made Shen Youran exclaim even more.

Lin Che quickly pushed Shen Youran away, “Quick get going. Oh, right. Doctor Chen, since you know Shen Youran’s place, can you help me send her home?”

“Alright.”

“What? I don’t want him to fetch me...” Shen Youran glared right back at Lin Che. She was also a pig friend!

Chen Yucheng taunted, “What? Are you afraid I’ll ditch you? Relax, I still need you to check plenty of documents tomorrow. I’ll definitely send you home safely today.”

“Get lost!”

The group laughed and went out. Lin Che asked Yu Minmin what she was going to do.

Gu Jingze replied, “Don’t worry. I’ll get someone to send her home.”

Lin Che heard this and nodded in relief.

The next day, Lin Che was occupied with the search list. Naturally, there were more searching for male actors because it was a TV drama after all. The majority of the viewers were female and of course, opposites attracted. Females preferred more male leads. However, Lin Che’s value had already gradually improved.

Still, the comparison between Lin Che and Qin Wanwan was still manifesting.

Lin Che went back to the Gu family with Gu Jingze early in the morning. She looked through her Weibo as she traveled and only kept her phone when she arrived at their destination.

At home, Mu Wanqing immediately praised Lin Che when she saw her, “Little Che, I’ve been watching that drama of yours every single day. Your acting was fantastic. I made all the aunts in our family watch it too and even recommended it to all of my friends.”

Lin Che looked sheepishly at Mu Wanqing, “Mom, you actually watched it? Oh my... My acting isn’t that great. That drama is just a Mary Sue stereotype. There’s no realistic meaning or artistic sense... It’s just... about love.”

Mu Wanqing said, “Love is also a part of reality and a part of the art. You can’t say that and also, your acting is very good. But that male lead in your drama looks rather handsome. Seeing you two together... suddenly made me feel like Jingze doesn’t match up to you...”

“...” Gu Jingze’s face darkened at the side. “Mom...”

How could she be such a mother?

Mu Wanqing said, “It’s true. I think they match very well. When it comes to you, you’re like a sore thumb sticking out in the middle.”

How did he get involved?

Lin Che actually could also understand that Mu Wanqing was too immersed when she watched the scene, so she hoped that Lin Che would get together with the male lead.

Still, Lin Che also felt unjust for Gu Jingze. He certainly looked better than the male lead.

Especially after the male lead’s facelift, his nose looked very fake up close. How could he compare to Gu Jingze?

But she decided not to be frank about it and let Mu Wanqing continue living her daydream.

No matter what, this was also Mu Wanqing’s support for her. Someone who probably never watched this kind of boring TV dramas wouldn’t suddenly make an exception.

Thus, Lin Che was still very touched.

Gu Jingze looked at Mu Wanqing and felt that he had to watch the show just to see how that guy looked like.

Although he didn’t want to hinder her work, it didn’t mean that he didn’t care at all.

He may not have thought this way before, but hearing his mother talk like that now, his heart really had a trickle of jealousy.

Mu Wanqing said, “Okay, okay. You two go in first and take a rest. Oh right, Jingze. Your stuff arrived. Go and take a look.”

Gu Jingze nodded and brought Lin Che in.

Lin Che asked, “What stuff arrived? Is it work-related? Maybe I should step out first,” Lin Che never interrupted his work.

But Gu Jingze said, “It’s alright. It’s not work. It’s a personal item that was just delivered over from somewhere else.”

“Wow, what is it?” Lin Che heard this and immediately gained interest.

Gu Jingze replied, “Just some nonsense. It’s just some stuff that I used during my studies abroad. They don’t know what to do with them, so I asked my men to bring them back and store them here.”

“Wow, from your school days. Are there diaries or something like that? Hehe.”

Looking at Lin Che smile so ridiculously, Gu Jingze went up and pinched her, “Why would I leave something so vulnerable? I never had a diary.”

“Ah, why...”

“Business is like a battlefield. On the battlefield, the most important thing is to not let your opponent know what you’re thinking.”

Lin Che heard this and thought that it was extremely deep. She looked at Gu Jingze and appeared as if she understood what he said.

Gu Jingze said, “Nevermind. I don’t expect you to understand this with your kind of intelligence.”

Seeing Gu Jingze walk in, Lin Che followed him.

While she curiously looked at the pile of large boxes, Lin Che saw Gu Jingze walking over to open them and she followed to take a look.

Gu Jingze opened a box and smiled, “This was stationery that I used in primary school.”

Lin Che flipped the box open and saw that it was indeed full of stationery.

But everything was still kept in crisp condition. And they looked expensive.

“Wow, you’re really extravagant. Everything you used at that time was so expensive.”

“They’re just some fountain pens. What’s so expensive about them?”

“Don’t you see? They are all made of gold. They even have a big piece of jade on top,” Lin Che held one as she spoke.

Gu Jingze said, “These are all gifts from my grandfather who rewarded me for getting first place across the whole grade.”

“You’re first place in your grade?” Lin Che narrowed her eyes and asked.

Gu Jingze nodded, “This was for getting first place in my first year, so my grandfather was very happy. After that, I was first in every year and then my grandfather had nothing much to say.”

“...” Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze, “Fine, we won’t ever understand the world of a philomath.”

Lin Che soon found a bunch of photos inside.

She immediately saw a child in the middle. That child had red lips and white teeth. He didn’t smile at all and stood out in the middle.

Was that Gu Jingze when he was young?

Lin Che quickly pointed at the little boy and said, “Wow, Gu Jingze. This must be you. Look at your stinky face! You’ve seriously had such a stinky face since you were little? Children should be cuter! Why was your face so stiff? You looked as if everybody owed your money.”

Gu Jingze’s eyes swept across and he said, “What’s so funny? It’s just a photo.”

Lin Che dug up many more photos. She saw his photo from high school with many beautiful girls in it. His class was really the class of beauties. Every one of them was good-looking.

Gu Jingze sat in the middle and it was obvious that he was the popular type. After all, he was handsome and he was a bossy CEO in the making.

Lin Che looked disdainfully at Gu Jingze and said, “Your class had so many pretty girls. Gu Jingze, you see? Because of your illness, you missed out on so many beauties. If you had been fine, you would have girls on both sides back then. You would already have a huge palace of concubines. Do you have any regrets now for not chasing after some pretty classmates?”
