2 SHE’S JUST A STRANGER WHO SUDDENLY APPEARED


    "Mother, she used an unorthodox method. It has nothing to do with my illness getting better!" Gu


    Jingze said, his eyes darkening.


    Mu Wanqing looked at him and said, "You think I''ve never tried that on you? It never worked. Each


    time, we could only call for the doctor to handle it time and time again. But you touched her.


    Furthermore, your subordinates said that you were very satisfied with her and did it more than once


    the entire night."


    "..." Gu Jingze pressed his clenched fist on the tempered-ss table and said, "Maybe the drug this


    time was different. In any case, I won''t marry this crazy woman who doesn''t have an ounce of


    morality. Mother, you should give up on this idea."


    As Lin Che walked on the streets and looked at the mess all over her body, she cursed silently in


    frustration. That damned drug-seller. She had felt that something was wrong with him when she


    bought the drug. All she had said was that she needed a drug to make someone fall asleep, but she


    had never said that she wanted such a drug. Now, look at what the man did to her after consuming


    it. She could still feel the pain throughout her body when she recalled what had happened.


    The excruciating pain in herher regions brought to mind the events of the previous night. That


    darned man had tormented her many times to the point that she fainted and could not remember


    anything else.


    The only thing she remembered from before...


    "Lin Che, look at yourself. You still want to be a celebrity? It''s better to listen properly to your


    stepmother. I''ll find you a good family to marry into. An illegitimate child is just an illegitimate child.


    You will always be second-rate."


    "Lin Che, Stepmother is doing this for your own good. Your eldest sister, Lin Li, is now a top


    celebrity; your second sister is also a top producer. After so many years, you''re still just a D-list


    celebrity. You have no prospects."


    "Little Che, thepany has already allocated the role to someone else this time. We think that


    your image does not suit the role."


    She smiled bitterly... if they had not pushed her into a corner, she would not havee up with


    such a sinister plot. All she wanted was to continue living, but now...


    Lin Che rushed to thepany; regardless of what had happened, she did not forget that she had


    an audition today.


    Upon seeing her arrive, Yu Minmin''s face darkened as she red at Lin Che and said, "So you still


    came. I thought you didn''t care about this audition!"


    "Sorry Sister Yu, I camete."


    Lin Che quickly covered up the mess on her clothes.


    With one look, Yu Minmin saw the marks on her neck. She lowered her head and inspected Lin


    Che''s clothes. Pulling on Lin Che''s cor, she said, "We''re meeting the director soon. I don''t care


    about your personal life. However, if you still want this role, you better freshen up so you don''t look


    like a prostitute!"


    Lin Che looked down at herself. Only then did she discover the marks that left little to the


    imagination. They were too obvious and too embarrassing.


    That stupid man. He was a total beast!


    Lin Che immediately bowed and apologized. Pulling on her clothes, she ran to the bathroom,


    thinking to herself, It was all that man''s fault. He had basically put an end to her life or whatever


    future she had!


    All of a sudden, her phone started ringing.


    Lin Che picked up the phone in exasperation.


    "Hello?"


    "Lin Che, where were youst night?" Lin Youcai sounded angry through the phone.


    Lin Youcai seldom called her unless something was up. For many years, he was dispensable as a


    father, but Lin Che could not treat him as apletely non-existent person. After all, she still


    needed to live in the Lin household. Lin Che thought about what had happenedst night. Feeling


    guilty, she said, "I-I had something onst night."


    "I don''t care what you were busy with. Your sister, Lin Li, wants to discuss her engagement with the


    family today. How dare you stay out all night?" Lin Youcai reprimanded fiercely.


    Yes, Lin Li was getting engaged, but that was none of her business. Lin Che listened calmly to her


    father''s angry tirade without a sliver of sadness in her heart. After so many years, she had already


    be ustomed to his scoldings.


    "I don''t care what you have going on. You muste back now. If I discover that you''re not back, I''ll


    dig out her ashes from the Lin family grave and throw it into the sea so you''ll never see any part of


    your mother for the rest of your life."


    When he finished speaking, Lin Youcai hung up the phone.


    The Lin Household.


    Han Caiying watched as Lin Youcai put down the phone. She eagerly asked, "Is sheing back?"


    Lin Youcai replied, "She''sing back."


    Han Caiying stretched out a hand to caress Lin Youcai''s chest in an attempt to appease him. "Old


    Master, you must have a talk with her so that she agrees to this marriage proposal. I was really


    shocked when the Cheng family suddenly proposed marriage. Lin Yu is an outstanding girl; she''s


    beautiful and sensible, so how could I let her marry that retard? I even heard that he''s incontinent.


    They just want Lin Yu to marry into their family so that they would have a maid. As for Lin Che,


    she''s an illegitimate child anyway. Who should go if not her?"


    "Don''t worry," Lin Youcai said, "I can''t bear to let Lin Yu suffer either. But Lin Che is also my


    daughter..."


    "Great, so you mean that you''d make Lin Yu clean up someone else''s feces and urine instead of Lin


    Che? If that''s the case, Lin Youcai, you really don''t have a conscience. Back when you had this


    daughter with another woman, I let her stay in the Lin household and brought her up. Now that she''s


    grown up, you wouldn''t even let her help me out a little. Given her standard, letting her marry into


    the Cheng family to enjoy their wealth is an honor for her."


    "Alright, alright." Seeing as Han Caiying had begun bringing up the past and was nagging


    incessantly, Lin Youcai quickly stopped her and said, "I''ll make her go. She''ll go."


    Lin Youcai had indeed hesitated, but upon ruminating, there was no one else to choose besides Lin


    Che.


    They could not afford to offend the Cheng family. Although their son was a retard, they were, at


    least, rolling in money. Marrying Lin Che into their family could be considered quite a fair treatment


    towards her.


    Then, the housekeeper called from outside, "Old Master, Madam, Third Miss is back." The


    housekeeper said to Lin Che, "Old Master and Madam are waiting for you inside. First Miss is


    discussing her engagement today, so your brother-inw is here too."


    Lin Che looked at the housekeeper in astonishment, "Qin Qing is here?"


    The housekeeper said, "Yes, he went in right before you."


    Pleasantly surprised, Lin Che ran into the house only to stop a momentter.


    Inside, Qin Qing and Lin Li were standing together in the hallway.


    They were leaning close together, their lips almost touching. It was a bad time to disturb them.


    Lin Che stood there rooted, forgetting to even move away.


    When she finally attempted to turn around, she felt a p on her face which nearly sent her to the


    ground.


    As her cheek burned, Han Caiying grabbed her and pulled her into a room.


    After shutting the door, Han Caiying turned around to re at Lin Che. She pointed usingly at


    Lin Che and said, "You shameless whore. Don''t think I didn''t see what you were up to. That is your


    brother-inw. How shameless can you be to dare attempt at seducing him?"


    Lin Che stood rooted to the ground. Holding her burning cheek, Lin Che smirked at Han Caiying


    and said, "Stepmother, if I really wanted to seduce him, I wouldn''t be just standing there and


    watching."N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
