Chapter 620: It Seemed Like Lin Che’s Status Was Being Threatened

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Gu Xiande cupped his hands in greeting and said to the people in the room, “Alright, alright, alright. I’m already so old but I still troubled everyone to come here. I’m truly apologetic.”

Everyone congratulated him in unison. All of them said, “Old Gu, happy birthday.”

“Old Gu, many happy returns of the day.”

“Alright, alright. Have a seat, everyone.”

Of course, Gu Xiande came directly to the main table. He looked around at everyone and smiled. He said, “Thank you for your trouble over the past few days.”

“Grandfather, happy birthday,” Gu Jingze and a few other younger ones first said.

Gu Xiande looked very happy as he sat down. Although he always said that he liked the quiet, he ultimately still felt a sense of satisfaction when he saw everyone gathered together.

Just then, several relatives who had no place at the main table came to give a toast to Gu Xiande.

They were not like Gu Jingze who could see Gu Xiande whenever he wanted to. Lin Che too felt that it was not difficult for her to meet Gu Xiande either since she was with Gu Jingze. She always met him whenever she came to the Gu residence.

However, to others, he was a person whom they could not meet even if they wanted to. Some of them really only had this chance once a year to meet him. They approached Gu Xiande and greeted him properly, hoping to leave an impression on him so that these smaller branches of the Gu family could receive more benefits. Thus, they put in a lot of effort into it and were extremely cautious as they were afraid that Gu Xiande would be unhappy.

Furthermore, the gifts they presented were extremely precious and grand.

Gu Xiande smiled and nodded while looking at the presents. He did not care about what they actually gave him; it was fine as long as they had good intentions.

Just then, Gu Jingze stood up as well and said, “Grandfather, happy birthday. This is my present for you.”

He instructed a maid to bring him the gift box. Without opening it to take a long, he handed it directly to Gu Xiande.

Gu Xiande opened it to take a look before smiling and saying, “Not bad, not bad. It must have been difficult to find this.”

Gu Jingze said, “It’s just an expression of appreciation for you.”

The people sitting elsewhere watched as Gu Jingze gave the present and could not help but speculate about what the present was.

“A present from Gu Jingze definitely wouldn’t be cheap,” someone sitting at another table said.

Hearing this, the person beside him smiled and said, “Whatever. It doesn’t matter at all what present Gu Jingze gives. Just look at where he’s sitting.”

“What do you mean?”

“He’s sitting at the main table, alright? The people sitting there are all Old Gu’s immediate family members. He’s Old Gu’s biological grandson. He can give him anything.”

Everyone heard this and went silent. They looked at the people sitting there. Indeed, they were Gu Xiande’s immediate family members. The man was right; as long as the present was from a family member, it did not matter what it was.

Sitting at the head of the table, Gu Jingming also gave Gu Xiande a present soon after.

Gu Xiande smiled and said, “I don’t care for any presents. Do you know what present is the best for me now? If all of you could give me a great-grandson as soon as possible. I’ve been waiting so long for that day to come. The two of you brothers and you too, Jingyan. All of you should work harder for me.”

They went silent.

Just then, Gu Lanshan suddenly stood up.

She smiled and walked to Gu Xiande. Then, she lowered her head and said something into his ear.

While watching her, Lin Che suddenly felt her body tighten. She sensed that something was wrong.

Mu Wanqing felt the same way too. She felt uncomfortable when she looked at them.

Gu Xiande listened to Gu Lanshan and then looked up to say, “Really?”

Gu Lanshan merely smiled and nodded.

Gu Xiande pondered for a bit before looking up and saying, “Alright. Tell her to come in.”

Gu Lanshan smiled at this. She lifted her hand and gestured to someone.

The people around them did not know what had happened. But they suddenly saw the doors open.

A young woman with a slightly bulging stomach walked in with her chest held high.

It was Mo Huiling.

Mo Huiling walked gracefully in with a good taste. Her clothes and style clearly exuded the elegance of a well-bred young lady. For a moment, everyone else could not really remember who she was.

Just then, someone suddenly remembered who she was.

“She’s the Young Miss of the Mo family.”

“Oh, no wonder she looks so familiar.”

“In the past, she was actually together with Gu Jingze for so many years. I met her a few times before. I didn’t expect her to become so beautiful now.”

After all, she looked different from Lin Che. Furthermore, because they had different family backgrounds, the auras they exuded were different too.

Although Lin Che was beautiful, her status as a celebrity made people feel that she displayed herself in public too much. She was completely different from those well-bred young ladies who never stepped foot out of the house.

While Mo Huiling was obviously not as beautiful as Lin Che, people felt that she was a well-bred young lady because of the modest feeling she gave off. On the other hand, Lin Che was so beautiful that she was a little too conspicuous.

When the crowd saw Mo Huiling enter with a bulging belly, they immediately recalled how Mo Huiling had previously gone around announcing that she was pregnant with Gu Jingze’s child.

Now, she had come here with her bulging stomach. And she had even come to the Gu family villa to meet Gu Xiande.

Did that mean that what she had gone around saying back then was true?

Everyone could not help but look at the people at the main table.

Mo Huiling could sense that everyone’s eyes were on her. She had waited for this feeling for too long. Her eyes started to tear up.

Meanwhile, Gu Xiande was inside. She could see that Lin Che was sitting at the same table as the Old Master.

How could she be sitting there...

Indeed, since she was together with Gu Jingze and was Gu Jingze’s wife, the Young Madam of the Gu family, it was only natural for her to sit there.

That position had initially been hers... that position that everyone admired and was envious of should have been hers from the start.

But now it had become Lin Che’s.

Mo Huiling clenched her fists tightly. Fortunately, she now heard the people around her talking about her.

“Miss Mo is better. Ultimately, she’s from a good family.”

“Yes. I think that Lin Che’s position is being threatened now that Miss Mo is pregnant with Gu Jingze’s child and has even been called here.”

“Precisely. No matter how beautiful Lin Che is, she’s ultimately an entertainer.”

“Seems like Miss Mo is more likable.”

“Of course. After all, she became pregnant with a child. All old people like children.”

Hearing their words, Mo Huiling raised her head even more confidently.

They were right. The Old Master definitely liked children.

In no time, back inside, Gu Jingze stood up. He looked at Gu Lanshan and asked, “First Aunt, what exactly is going on?”

Lin Che quickly stood up as well and pulled Gu Jingze’s arm from beside him.

Gu Lanshan asked, “Why? I was just telling your grandfather that Miss Mo is outside waiting to congratulate your grandfather on his birthday. Why? Is she not even allowed to give him a present and express her appreciation?”

Just then, Gu Xiande raised his hand slightly. “Jingze, that’s enough. It’s not such a serious matter either.”

Gu Jingze narrowed his eyes and looked in front.

Mo Huiling stood there pitifully. So many people were staring at them from below. Although they did not dare to look at them directly, they were still sneaking curious glances.
