Chapter 221: Gu Jingyu Said That I’m Close To Her

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Che could not stand anyone who opposed her and talked about the people by her side.

Hearing her talk, she immediately straightened herself and said, “What do you mean by this? If Sister Xiaoyuan wants to have rumors, go find them on your own. But your position is high now, so you probably won’t be able to find someone willing to create rumors with you. After all, the male stars around your age are mostly married already.”

Lin Che was not targeting her age by saying that. She was just mad that Xin Xiaoyuan would talk about Yu Minmin like that.

Xin Xiaoyuan heard this and her entire Botox-ed face wrinkled up.

“I was giving face to President Zhang, so I didn’t say anything about you. But you really think you can fly now and you dare to talk back to anyone. You think you’re so famous now that nobody can do anything to you, right?”

Song Shuhai saw the situation unravel from behind and she quickly rushed over and said, “Enough. Young people are ignorant. Don’t become like them.”

Song Shuhai lowered her voice and reminded her, “She might have some backing. You better not say too much.”

“Hmph, I don’t believe that. What kind of backing would you still be afraid of?”

Just then, there was some commotion from behind.

“President Zhang, Mr. Gu Jingyu is here.”

President Zhang then hastily said, “Oh, right. Gu Jingyu agreed to be our guest-of-honor.”

Everybody did not expect Gu Jingyu to come.

Gu Jingyu always had his own company and never joined any others. Thus, it was no big deal when the company invited him to the annual meeting.

It was just that even though Gu Jingyu didn’t like to associate with people, he wasn’t someone that one could successfully invite if one wanted to.

That’s why everybody was extremely surprised that Gu Jingyu turned up.

Xin Xiaoyuan and Song Shuhai couldn’t help but look over. They looked back at Lin Che again and thought about the rumor between the two of them. They wondered if Gu Jingyu was really…

Gu Jingyu walked over with some staff members. His gaze was neutral until he saw Lin Che. He then smiled subtly.

Although Xin Xiaoyuan was in the circle for so many years, she had never worked with Gu Jingyu before.

Now that she saw Gu Jingyu, her eyes were glued to him.

Gu Jingyu’s gaze was pure and his face was stunning. He looked extremely tough. His smile attracted people and the way he walked in with the staff made him stand out from regular actors. This was naturally because he was in an entire league of his own and he had countless fans. It was also because many people knew that he was the Third Young Master of the Gu family.

However, Gu Jingyu didn’t say a word and went straight to Lin Che’s side.

President Zhang saw and hurriedly announced, “You’re here, you’re here. How nice of you to grace this place, Third Young Master Gu!”

Gu Jingyu nodded politely and looked at Lin Che, “Why are you staring at me? Are you suddenly finding me attractive?”

“No way!” Lin Che thought speechlessly that this man was so shameless.

“Alright, let’s not make a joke of ourselves. Let’s sit down.”

“O-oh…” Lin Che heard Gu Jingyu’s words and was just about to go back to her own seat. But Gu Jingyu grabbed her arm, “Where are you going?”

President Zhang saw and quickly said, “Exactly, Lin Che. Where do you think you’re going? Just sit here.”

Lin Che looked at Gu Jingyu. He already said so and pressed her shoulders to make her sit on the chair.

Lin Che could only look speechlessly at this table.

The people sitting here all held high positions in the company. There were a few top artists too and she didn’t feel right sitting there.

The others watched with their jaws dropped. One after another, they got more surprised looking over there.

Although the two of them had a rumor and participated in events, Gu Jingyu seemed to really take care of her, even though nobody had seen them in contact privately.

Thus, it was natural to assume that Gu Jingyu was also creating speculations.

Since he was a veteran in this industry, he naturally knew the limits of creating hype. Lin Che was just being made use of by him and got lucky in the process.

Nobody thought that Gu Jingyu would actually have a relationship with such a brat like Lin Che.

Lin Che also didn’t think that she would have any relationship with the Gu family, but this was all real. She was friends with Gu Jingyu and had a complicated relationship with Gu Jingze. It was very strange.

President Zhang watched the two of them sitting together and had inquisitive thoughts in his mind. He looked at the two of them and asked, “Does Third Young Master really get along well with our Lin Che privately?”

Gu Jingyu laughed and turned to look back at Lin Che. That warm look on his face made everybody’s jaws drop even more.

“Yes. This stupid brat was lucky to know me. Otherwise, she would have long been a goner. We’ve always kept in contact privately. Why? Has she never told anyone before?”

Of course not. Lin Che was not a fool either. If she went about telling people that she really knew Gu Jingyu, they might not believe her. Anyway, whether they wanted to believe her or not, Lin Che wouldn’t go around announcing it anyway.

President Zhang quickly said, “No, no. This child Lin Che has a good heart. She doesn’t use the Third Young Master’s name to make announcements. You guys like to keep a low profile so of course, we don’t dive into our artists’ private lives too.”

Gu Jingyu smiled. He usually couldn’t be bothered with people but he kept picking food for Lin Che, talking to her, and looking down at his phone to privately chat with her.

Several bosses watched this scene and gave one another a look. It was both shocking yet completely expected.

Song Shuhai watched them and her gaze fell on Gu Jingyu. She spoke softly, “Gu Jingyu is really good-looking up close.”

“I’m not blind. I can see that,” Xin Xiaoyuan said in a very bad mood.

Song Shuhai said, “I didn’t expect this little brat Lin Che to be so lucky. See how enthusiastically they’re chatting… I wonder if Gu Jingyu has taken a liking to this brat, seriously…”

Xin Xiaoyuan listened and her entire body was already fuming.

Looking at the eyes around her, they seemed to be looking at her like a joke.

To be beaten by her own words, Xin Xiaoyuan’s mind was raging.

Looking at how Lin Che became the center of attention in this annual meeting instantly, she angrily thought, Lin Che, you intentionally didn’t give me face… Do you dare to challenge me? Hmph. I’ll have plenty of chances to play with you.

After eating, Gu Jingyu immediately offered to send Lin Che back.

The few bosses politely walked them out.

The small actors who had the honor to participate didn’t expect to be able to see Gu Jingyu here. Their eyes looked over with jealousy at Lin Che who was standing beside Gu Jingyu.

“You see? That’s a big shot indeed. The entourage of staff following behind is as big as a film crew. It’s so great,” a few jealous faces looked at the graceful Lin Che who was able to be part of that bunch of people.
