    Lin Che nodded. She looked at Gu Xiande and followed him inside.


    Gu Xiandes study room looked extremely stylish. The color scheme was vintage and the tall


    bookshelves were piled high with various books.


    Gu Xiande sat down and gestured for Lin Che to sit as well.


    He looked at Lin Che and said, Dont be nervous. I called you here just to give you this present for


    your wedding. Even though youve been married for so long, having a wedding ceremony is a happy


    asion, right?


    He passed Lin Che a box. Lin Che froze and took it from him. She opened it only to find a jade


    pendant.


    The pendant looked slightly antique. At a nce, it had an imposing manner to it. Coupled with Gu


    Xiandes status, Lin Che was sure that this item was of considerable value.


    Grandfather, this Lin Che wanted to ask what this was and whether it was very precious. She was


    worried that something would happen to such a priceless item if it was ced in her care, given


    how clumsy she was.


    Gu Xiande said, This is an heirloom left behind by Jingzes grandmother. Your Mother-In-Law has


    one, and now you do too.


    Huh?


    Gu Xiande looked at her and said, Little Che, I really do like you. You say such sweet words and


    yourepletely unrestrained. Youve brought a lot of joy to our family. I know that youre a goodProperty of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    woman, but


    Lin Ches heart sank abruptly for no reason.


    As she looked at Gu Xiande, she kept feeling ufortable.


    Gu Xiande said, But youve also seen how your Mother-In-Law is. Youre different from her. She has


    lived in this environment since she was very young. After she married Jingzes father, she naturally


    started to help me run this household. Little Che, let me ask you. Do you think you have what it


    takes to run this household with more than a hundred people with your mother-inw?


    I Lin Che had never thought that she would have to do these things. Of course, she was not as


    formidable as Mu Wanqing and did not know how to do these things either.


    Gu Xiande looked at Lin Ches expression and smiled at her. Little Che, youre not suitable for


    Jingze.


    Lin Ches heart jolted.


    Gu Xiande shook his head and said, If our family was ordinary or if Jingze wasnt Jingze but Jingyu


    or Jingming, you wouldnt have to bother with anything and just be Madam Gu. However, Jingze


    bears the responsibility of the entire Gu family on his shoulders. I thought that he would be


    responsible for the entire Gu family since he was young. Thus, to attain this goal, he must be


    absolutely rational. He cannot be swayed by his emotions. Back then, I already predicted some


    problems with Mo Huiling. But fortunately, he merely opposed me for some time before


    understanding his own position, so he did not stubbornly rebel to the end.


    Feeling slightly uneasy, Lin Che leaned backward and looked at Gu Xiande.


    Then, Gu Xiande refocused his attention and said, When your mother-inw told me that you and


    Gu Jingze had definitely had sexual rtions, I merely wanted to kill two birds with one stone, so I


    forced him to marry you. Little Che, youre a good woman, but you will only drag him down.


    Grandfather. Lin Che looked at Gu Xiande and continued as if in slight disappointment, I thought


    that you were Gu Jingzes good grandfather, but right now, Im a little disappointed in you.


    Gu Xiande froze. How dare she speak to him this way?


    Lin Che said, Killing two birds with one stone Back then, you wanted Gu Jingze to marry me to tear


    Gu Jingze and Mo Huiling apart on one hand and to find him a woman he could not possibly like on


    the other hand. In that way, he would be the rational puppet of the Gu family, right?


    Gu Xiande narrowed his eyes even more.


    Lin Che smiled. Grandfather, youre right. Im not worthy of Gu Jingze. Of course, I feel that my


    status, my family background, my personality, and my educational qualifications are no match for


    Gu Jingze. But youre not worthy of Gu Jingze either. Hes a great person but youre a terrible


    grandfather.


    You


    Lin Che said, Youve already failed once but you still havent learned your lesson until now. You still


    dont understand that you cant control a persons future. Thats Gods job, not yours. So in the first


    ce, you cant control Gu Jingzes life ording to your wishes. Without me, there would still be


    another woman who would give Gu Jingze warmth. Therefore, Im definitely not the one whos


    dragging him down. You are. Youre the one who made him feel that the world is cold as ice. Thats


    why hes easily attracted to warm things because thats what hecks in his life. I gave him warmth,


    so he wanted to be together with me. Perhaps all of this happened not because of how great I am


    but because his life has been terrible. Hes like a child who has never eaten candy. When someone


    gives him candy, he thinks that he has gone to heaven even though thats just candy. I am indeed


    terrible, but you should reflect on yourself too.


    You Lin Che, get out!


    Lin Che drew in a breath and stood up. Grandfather, dont get too angry. Indeed, Im not worthy of Gu


    Jingze. Im not good at anything. But at least at times like these, I should step forward and defend


    our rtionship. Only then would I be worthy of everything that Gu Jingze has done for me.


    Gu Xiandes eyes were twitching as he looked at Lin Che.


    He had always thought that she was a littless who did not know how to retaliate. But he had been


    wrong.


    He said, Get out. Get out right now!


    Lin Che bowed and looked at Gu Xiande. Then, she walked out on her own.


    While she could not win against these veterans in certain areas, she could not give up so easily


    either.


    Furthermore, she had meant every word she said. Grandfather had taken it too far. With the way he


    spoke about Gu Jingze, what did he treat Gu Jingze as?


    How could it be that the Gu family was important, but Gu Jingze himself was not?


    Ultimately, he was a person too, not a tool.


    How could anyone be born to head a household? How could anyone be born destined not to have


    his own personal life?


    But she knew for a fact that she was a slight burden on Gu Jingze.


    In the room, Gu Xiande felt a little flustered from being criticized.


    He was in the wrong and he knew it, but


    The Gu family had always been run this way. He was old and felt physically poor. He knew that his


    body was getting worse and worse and he barely had a few years left. If Jingze made a mistake


    again at a time like this


    He would not die content.


    Subconsciously, he had a feeling that Lin Che would be Gu Jingzes Achilles Heel.


    But the head of a household could not have any weakness.


    He held the door for support and suddenly began coughing violently.


    The doctor quickly walked in from behind. Old Master, the breeze at the window is strong. Its bad


    for your body. You should go in.


    Gu Xiande waved his hand. I know that my illness cant be cured. Dont waste your effort on restoring


    my health either.


    Old Master, what are you saying


    But I still cant die for the time being. No matter how much money I spend, make sure that I can stay


    alive. Ill live another day if I can!
