Crooked Neck thought about it and felt that something wasn’t right. “Hey, hey, Sister Che, I’m asking you how come you’re Gu Jingze’s… don’t divert the topic.”
Lin Che asked, “What’s there to say about this? We got married a long time ago, and just hid it from the public.”
“Oh my god, that’s Gu Jingze. That’s the Gu Industries. It’s no wonder you weren’t worried previously about the Gu Industries coming to deal with us.”
Lin Che said, “That’s right. If Xue Mengqi knows that it’s me, it’s likely that she won’t continue to go against us. She’s someone who wants to keep face.”
Crooked Neck looked at the ceiling. “Oh my god, I really want to know how Chen Hui feels after finding out about this. He had been saying how powerful the Gu Industries was, and that we won’t be able to put up a fight against them. He feels that the Gu Industries is too powerful and that’s why he betrayed us. What he didn’t know is that we have the Gu Industries backing us up in the first place.”
Lin Che said, “That’s why they say that people are always looking for reasons to justify their choices. Sigh, right now, he can only accept the consequences of his choice.”
Crooked Neck said, “I’m full of anticipation what kind of expression Chen Hui would have after finding out how ridiculous his betrayal is.”
Lin Che smiled. She also had the same anticipation.

On the other side.
An Lan returned home and cried to her family about what had happened.
“Dad, how could Black Eagle do that to me? You have no idea how many people were watching then. How could he be so arrogant?”
An Guodong looked at her. “This Black Eagle… is really unreasonable.”
He sighed, gave it some thought, and then said, “But we can’t raise a hand against him. In terms of power, we’re definitely no match for them. You can only… bear with it.”
“Dad… but I can’t take this lying down.”
“So what if you can’t take it lying down? Who asked you to go offend Black Eagle? Alright, you might not know this, but this person is arrogant and scary. Ordinary people can’t compare against him.”
“Dad, are you going to let him bully us like this?” An Lan looked at her father in disbelief. Was the An family no match for Black Eagle?
“This isn’t the time to be swayed by personal feelings. The important thing is that Black Eagle is someone without any baseline. We are people with a baseline, but he doesn’t have any. So what do you want to compete with him for?”
“I…”
“That’s enough. Go back first. Don’t care about these.”
An Lan was almost driven crazy. She had been humiliated for no reason, yet no one in her family wanted to do anything about it.
An Lan left angrily.
She went to a cafe outside and saw a group of people who looked very strict. It seemed that some important people had come to this cafe.
An Lan also had people with her, and she looked over, unwilling to accept this. She felt that the An family wasn’t weaker compared to others, so why was it that other people could act so arrogantly but she couldn’t?
An Lan’s attendant asked her, “Young Miss, where are we going?”
An Lan pointed to the cafe where there were people guarding it. “Let’s go over there.”
Her attendant looked over. “It seems to have been sealed.”
An Lan turned and scolded her angrily. “So what if it has been sealed? What are we lacking in? You guys can’t win against Black Eagle in a fight. You can’t win against these people either? If that’s the case, what’s the use of having you?
The few servants quickly said, “That’s not it, that’s not it. Young Miss, we just don’t want to bring you any trouble. Young Miss is right. We are in no way worse off than any other people. It’s just that our An family is too humble and keeps a low profile.
An Lan snorted and walked over directly. When she was stopped at the door, she pointed inside angrily. “Who are you guys? Is this your shop? Who are you to stop me from entering?”
The few of them looked at An Lan, then at the people behind her. They didn’t say anything but continued to block her path.
At this moment, the people behind An Lan no longer dare to hide anymore. they quickly went up.
The people in the shop were all on tenterhooks with the two groups of people facing off in a confrontation.
However, at this moment.
“Miss An.”
An Lan looked inside. “Ah… You, you’re Gu family’s…”
An Lan had met this lady, who was now wearing a smile, back at the Gu family mansion. However, she had forgotten who this person was.

Inside.
Xue Mengqi smiled and said, “Miss An, I’m Xue Mengqi.”
“Ah… Miss Xue.”
An Lan knew about her.
This Xue Mengqi had the capability to fight for the chance of becoming the mistress of the Gu family. Recently, there had been many people talking about her.
The two of them no longer had daggers drawn at each other and went in to take a seat.
An Lan couldn’t hold it in and started complaining about Lin Che.
After all, she knew that Xue Mengqi and Lin Che definitely weren’t on good terms with each other. The two of them were definitely competitors.
“Miss Xue, that Lin Che in the Gu family really leaves a lasting impression on me.”
Hearing that, Xue Mengqi’s brows raised up. “Not everyone in the Gu family is like that.”
Hearing that, An Lan started to complain more to Xue Mengqi.
She said that she had been humiliated yesterday and that Lin Che was very arrogant and disgusting.
Xue Mengqi smiled as she looked at her, occasionally say a few words to sow discord.
When An Lan heard that, she felt even more furious.
She said outright, “Hmph, she’s just using Gu Jingze as her shield. Now that Gu Jingze has lost his memories, she is enjoying playing the role of the queen. She must be very happy to have the Gu family under her control.”
Xue Mengqi’s hand that was holding onto her coffee cup paused. “What did you say? What happened to Gu Jingze?”
An Lan almost bit her own tongue.
She had let it slip…
Xue Mengqi narrowed her eyes and broke into a smile. “Gu Jingze has lost his memories?”
An Lan didn’t know what to say and could only smile awkwardly.
A gleam shone in Xue Mengqi’s eyes, but she immediately looked at An Lan warmly. “Miss An, don’t worry, we’re on the same line. Don’t we both see Lin Che as our enemy?”

Lin Che was at home when Mu Wanqing suddenly called.
“Lin Che, our family is saying that Shiyuan’s two-year-old birthday is coming up soon, and hope to celebrate her birthday for her. It was because ever since she was born, she had never gotten a proper banquet nor did she meet anyone before. They hope to take this opportunity to let others get to know the Gu family’s Third Miss.”
Lin Che asked, “Whose idea is this?”
Usually, Mu Wanqing wouldn’t initiate such things. It was because Gu Jingze didn’t like these things either. Therefore, the child’s one-month-old banquet wasn’t held either, nor were there any birthday banquets held.
Mu Wanqing said, “It was suggested by the Gu family’s relatives. I didn’t know how to refuse them.”
Lin Che had a faint feeling that something was amiss.
“Mom, things are probably not that simple. Was it Xue Mengqi who had proposed this to the Gu family’s relatives?”
Mu Wanqing gave it some thought and felt that what Lin Che said made sense. “I also feel that there might be some reason behind this, but what should we do now?”
Lin Che said, “Xue Mengqi might be up to some scheme again. But Gu Jingze hasn’t been meeting people during this time. If he were to refuse this as well, some people might start to feel suspicious.”
“You feel that Xue Mengqi has started to suspect something?”
“That’s right. It’s either that she’s feeling suspicious or that she has already found out. Anyway, this definitely has some relation with her.”
Mu Wanqing felt very consoled, feeling that things had been very tough on Lin Che recently, but it was worth it. Lin Che had grown a lot, making Mu Wanqing felt both surprise and admiration.
After all, Lin Che was also very smart. It was just that she didn’t use to care much about fame. Therefore, she couldn’t be bothered to think about these things.
Even though she was forced to step forward now, she was also capable of holding up to things.
