137 TAKING YOU INTO THE LIMELIGHT


    Lin Che asked curiously, "What banquet is it?"


    Gu Jingze said, "Just an internal charity banquet. I need to bring a female partner along."


    Lin Che replied, "Then take your female partner along."


    "I have a wife. Why would I need a female partner?"


    Lin Cheughed, "Alright. Then, I''ll... go with you."


    On the outside, it was as if she was being forced but she was actually happy about it.


    To attend a banquet with Gu Jingze.


    She had never done that before...


    Soon after, the caretaker called and told Lin Che that she would be picked up to change her clothes


    and tidy up so that it would be more convenient for her to attend the banquet.


    In the evening.


    Gu Jingze arrived early and was in Lin Che''s private makeup studio. As the makeup artist was a


    top-skilled professional, there usually was a lot of people. Yu Minmin even wanted to bring Lin Che


    here to get her makeup done for the award ceremony but there was a long line. Today, because of


    Gu Jingze, Lin Che had the whole studio to herself.


    The makeup artist did not know Gu Jingze''s rtion to Lin Che, but she abided her work ethic and


    did not ask. She did not involve herself with the gossip outside either and was very courteous to Lin


    Che.


    When Gu Jingze arrived, she was extra cautious.


    They were not afraid of gossip.


    Whoever dared to gossip about Gu Jingze would be asking for a death wish.


    Gu Jingze saw that Lin Che was all ready as she turned around. She was dressed in red which


    somehow did not look flirtatious on her. Instead, it was so refreshing like a flower blooming after the


    rain. She looked so pure and clean.


    The makeup artist at the side remarked, "Miss Lin is very pretty and her skin is good. Out of all the


    people I''ve done makeup for, Miss Lin''s skin is the best."


    Lin Che turned back and smiled shyly. She lifted her skirt and looked at Gu Jingze, "How do I look?


    Good?"


    Gu Jingze smiled and nodded, "Hm, I guess you do the dress justice."


    "..." Lin Che pouted. She just knew that he wouldn''t say nice things!


    Couldn''t he talk nicely?


    Gu Jingze tugged Lin Che and said, "Let''s go." In the car, Lin Che asked Gu Jingze, "Is the banquet


    this time huge? Why did you invite me? Will it be okay?"


    "It will be okay. Everybody is bringing a female partner so nobody will ask about our rtionship.


    The banquet is quite huge. It''s an annual charity banquet."


    "Oh, but I don''t think I''ve ever been to any banquets with you before," Lin Che asked with curiosity.


    Gu Jingze said naturally, "Of course. I usually let my employees attend these banquets on my


    behalf. I don''t normally attend them."


    "Really? But I thought it would be like in a TV show. Capitalists like you would be going around


    banquets and whatnot. There would be lots of entertaining to do."


    Gu Jingze replied, "You''re talking about capitalists in smallpanies. That is why one must climb


    right up to the top. Otherwise, you''ll face other people forever."


    m ii


    Did he mean that with his position now, he didn''t need to face other people and entertain them


    anymore?


    Gu Jingze was really... praising himself with every opportunity he got.


    Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze speechlessly but at the front, the chauffeur had already stopped the


    car in front of the entrance of a seven-star hotel. Lin Che followed Gu Jingze down the car. Looking


    ahead, there was already a crowd gathering toward them and weing them.


    "President Gu is here."


    "A big wee for President Gu."


    "President Gu, pleasee in."


    Tagging along, Lin Che had also begun to invite a lot of attention. Nobody dared to ask who she


    was but they saw Gu Jingze holding her hand as they entered. Lin Che''s dress was exquisite. It was


    wine red and flowed to the floor; It looked graceful, generous and extremely elegant.


    People at the back were talking, "Look! That''s Gu Jingze."


    "We don''t even see him once a year."


    "That''s because he keeps a very low-profile. People hear of his legacy, but never see him."


    "Who''s that beside him?"


    "It must be his female partner. She looks familiar like some celebrity."


    Everybody looked sourly at thedy beside Gu Jingze. As the two of them entered, a line of people


    traced behind and sighed in exmation. Indeed, wherever Gu Jingze went, he certainly was the


    talking point.


    "But wasn''t he rumored to be with the daughter of the Mo family? Howe the girl is different?"


    "But nobody has seen Gu Jingze bring her out before."


    A few people were debating, oblivious that Mo Huiling was sitting at the back. She held her cup with


    hatred.


    She had already heard that Gu Jingze was nning to attend this banquet. It was understandable


    because this banquet was held annually and it was the biggest charity banquet. Gu Jingze would


    definitely attend this banquet and make some donations.


    However, Mo Huiling did not expect Gu Jingze to bring Lin Che with him.


    What they said was right. Gu Jingze rarely took Mo Huiling out on public asions.


    That was because Gu Jingze liked to keep a low profile. So out of the three brothers, he was the


    only one who had never been exposed properly.


    Of course, Mo Huiling wanted to go out with him, but she was worried that Gu Jingze would think


    that she wanted to expose him. Thus, she controlled her thoughts, never fulfilling her wish.


    Now, Gu Jingze actually brought Lin Che here...


    Mo Huiling gritted her teeth as she watched them go in. Her eyes moved.


    Lin Che and Gu Jingze sat on the good seats on the upper level. They could see the entire hall


    while those below were unable to spot them.


    It was Lin Che''s first time at a banquet like this. She immediately whipped out her phone, "I''m going


    to try taking a photo. Heh heh."


    Gu Jingze looked at her speechlessly, "You would take a selfie with anything."


    Lin Che retorted, "It''s a rare chance. When I put this on my Weibo, my fans will think very highly of


    me since I got to attend a banquet like this. Ah, I didn''t bring my selfie stick. Help me take a picture."


    Gu Jingze looked even more speechlessly at Lin Che, "You..."


    Was she now so capable that she was no longer scared of him? From taking selfies herself to


    asking him to help take pictures now...


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Lin Che looked pitifully at Gu Jingze, "Help me, please? You just need to press a button."


    Gu Jingze had no other choice. Luckily, no one saw them. Otherwise, if someone saw him helping


    take a selfie... That would be something.


    He took the phone and red at Lin Che. With a snap, he took a few shots of her. Lin Che took


    back her phone and looked at the shots in dismay. She asked, "Gu Jingze... Have you never taken


    photos before? See? You need to include the entire hall below in the background. Your shot makes


    me look like I''m drinking in some shady hotel bar. Nobody can tell that it''s a ssy banquet at all."


    Thus, he took photos of her again but it was still unsatisfactory.


    "Gu Jingze, I have to hand it to you. Where''s your sense of beauty? Sense of beauty! Why do I look


    so distorted?"
