With anger coursing through his whole body, he knocked on the door. “Lin Che, open the door!”
Lin Che did not expect the door to close just like that.
Had she actually slammed the door on Gu Jingze? She was definitely too bold to have done that in front of so many people.
But it was his fault for being so hateful.
He had clearly been in the wrong but came looking for her with such an arrogant attitude. He did not know how to speak nicely at all.
Wouldn’t it be very embarrassing for her to follow him home just like this?
As a woman, she had to behave properly. She could not be so unprincipled. If she went home with him just because he told her to do so, then how would she ever stand her ground against him in the future?
Furthermore, her anger had indeed not dissipated yet.
He was still meeting Lu Chuxia in private for no reason and what’s more, he was doing so behind her back. How could she easily tolerate this?
Outside, Gu Jingze knocked vigorously on the door.
At one point, Lin Che wondered if this flimsy-looking door would be smashed into bits because of his knocking.
“I won’t open it. I won’t. Gu Jingze, leave! Get lost!” Lin Che shouted from inside the house. She adamantly refused to open the door.
“Will you or will you not open it? Trust me when I say that I’ll break it!”
“If you dare to break it... I’m right behind the door, so try crushing me to death too. I just won’t open it!” Lin Che shouted angrily.
“I...” Outside, Gu Jingze stopped knocking. As he heard Lin Che’s voice from inside, he thought gloomily to himself, How dare this Lin Che oppose him?!
Had he been spoiling her too much again recently?
However, when he heard her say that she was right behind the door, he moved to the side in thought.
It was true that he could definitely smash the door open if he really wanted to.
But in the end, he still did not dare to do so.
What if she was really standing foolishly by the door and it crushed her...
Gu Jingze asked, “Are you really not going to open the door?”
“I won’t open it. I won’t open it. I just won’t open it,” Lin Che continued to shriek.
“You...” Gu Jingze pointed a finger at the tightly-closed door.
He looked and looked at it but was left with no choice in the end.
He threw his hand down and looked at the people behind him.
“Just you wait,” he said fiercely to the door before abruptly turning to leave.
Seeing that Gu Jingze was leaving, the people behind him looked at each other and could only follow him out one after another.
Back inside, Lin Che heard immediate silence outside.
With her ear against the door, she listened for a long time before slowly opening a small gap in the door.
Sure enough, everyone outside had already left.
She heaved a sigh of relief and thought to herself, How could this Gu Jingze actually bring so many people along to forcefully take her home?
When Shen Youran returned, she was a little surprised when she sensed her neighbors staring at her strangely.
After entering the elevator, someone immediately tugged at her and asked, “You live in Apartment 803 upstairs, right?”
“Ah... that’s right. Why?” Shen Youran’s heart sank immediately. She wondered if something had happened.
The neighbor said, “My word! Today, there were many luxury cars parked downstairs and a group of people later went upstairs. It frightened me to death.”
“Ah...”
“Did you- did you offend someone?”
Her neighbor’s words sent chills up Shen Youran’s spine. It did not take her long to realize that it was probably Gu Jingze.
She hoped that nothing had happened to Lin Che.
In her worry, Shen Youran hastily smiled at her neighbor and said, “It’s nothing, it’s nothing. I didn’t offend anyone. I just had some guests over.”
Thereafter, she rushed out of the elevator.
The person in the elevator was still confused. Had they been guests?
Who exactly lived in Apartment 803? Why did the guests seem so impressive?
Shen Youran arrived home and only heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Lin Che still inside. She was dressed in her pajamas and lying in front of the television.
“You seem fine. I thought something had happened to you.”
“Nothing can happen to me,” Lin Che said.
“Didn’t Gu Jingze come here today?”
“Yes.”
Lin Che pursed her lips before telling Shen Youran everything.
Shen Youran said disbelievingly, “No way. You actually dared to kick the great President Gu?”
Lin Che asked, “So what?”
“Hehe. I think the fact that you’re still alive now is already a miracle,” Shen Youran said.
Lin Che said, “It’s nothing. Anyway, he left after I kicked him.”
Shen Youran said, “In any case, you absolutely can’t tell outsiders that you actually kicked the great President Gu. They’ll definitely think that you’re tooting your own horn.”
Shen Youran thought to herself that Lin Che was probably the only one who dared to treat President Gu this way.
However, this Gu Jingze had lost the first battle. He had seriously gone to Chen Yucheng’s office for nothing.
He had not learned any of the quintessential ways to act.
—
The next day, Lin Li’s wanton attacks began again.
She had participated in a program in which she had lamented her relationship. Although she did not mention any names, she was, in fact, implying that her relationship with Qin Qing had only ended because of someone else’s interference.
As she spoke about her relationship with Qin Qing, she said that the reason for her absence recently was because she had been recovering from the break-up as she had been seriously hurt. In the end, she even said that she had already resolved to get over the break-up and leave these painful events behind.
Lin Che was literally about to yell ‘cut’ when she heard this. What was that?
Ultimately, a lot of people left rude comments on her Weibo page that day. The Internet ghostwriters and several muddle-headed netizens were saying that she was the third party.
Lin Che was intolerably angry.
Coupled with the fact that she was currently at odds with Gu Jingze, she really felt particularly repressed at the moment.
However, just then.
Qin Qing suddenly released a statement through his company.
In the statement, he said that he had canceled his engagement with Lin Li of his own accord without anyone else’s interference. He and Lin Che were childhood friends who had known each other for many years. They were merely friends but he had liked Lin Che ever since they were children. He had treated Lin Li unfairly in getting together with her only because Lin Che ignored him despite his persistent feelings for her. He did this in hopes that he could get closer to Lin Che.
Later on, he finally canceled his engagement with Lin Li because he felt apologetic towards her. On top of that, he still had not fallen in love with Lin Li and realized that she was not Lin Che after all. As a result, he canceled their engagement.
Furthermore, he released a piece of evidence proving that he did not claim back the dowry after canceling the engagement. He had treated its value of 30,000,000 yuan as compensation to her. The implication was that he did not know why Lin Li was doing this. The fact that he had not said anything about the issue insinuated that Lin Li herself had asked for the compensation.
The situation changed abruptly. Lin Li instantly became known as a replacement for Lin Che. While she was pitiful, Lin Che was on the other hand immediately cleared of any wrongdoing.
When Lin Che read the statement while she was at the company, she understood Qin Qing’s intentions right away. Qin Qing had taken responsibility for the entire incident. He knew that any explanation would be pointless. Thus, he simply phrased his words in a way so that he took responsibility for all the things that had gone wrong.
Lin Che had not expected Qin Qing to do so.
Meanwhile, Lin Li was about to faint from anger when she saw the statement.
Did Qin Qing mean that she had become a replacement for Lin Che?
Of course, Qin Qing would be cursed out very badly. What kind of woman would want to be called a replacement for another woman?
All of a sudden, she had been degraded. It was as if she could not compare to Lin Che in any way.
Metaphorically, Lin Che had become the most important female lead whereas Lin Li had once again been reduced to a miserable supporting role.
How could Lin Li feel happy?
