novelWho Had She Chosen To Marry?
| ← Ch.1048 | Ch.1050 → |
The Gu residence had two car parks. After members of the family drove inside directly, there would be an underground car park — outsiders parked outside after obtaining permission. Luxury car after luxury car was parked in the car park. It seemed as if it was embarrassing for an ordinary car to park here.
The Bentley that had just driven in stopped immediately. The people that alighted from the car sighed feelingly at the interior of the residence."Wow. So this is the old Gu residence. This place is way too big. Qin Qing, you must go in and present yourself well. Don't make any mistakes."
The person who had arrived was Qin Qing...
After getting out of the car, he also glanced around and said to the two of them, "Alright, Father, Mother. I've already arrived. Mengqi told me to come by myself today. The two of you shouldn't go in."
"I know, I know." Qin Qing's mother was a little unhappy too. She felt that Xue Mengqi was looking down on their family. She invited only Qin Qing to be a guest and did not tell them to come along and have a look.
It was a pity that Xue Mengqi was ultimately a member of the Gu family. There was nothing more they could say either. The Gu family had many rules. They had no choice but to listen to Xue Mengqi's words and did not dare to say anything recklessly.
Qin Qing had managed to get together with Xue Mengqi because he had met her while furthering his studies overseas. Although she was older than him, Xue Mengqi was very well-versed in the ways of the world. Qin Qing had learned a lot from her. It was only when they returned that he found out that Xue Mengqi was actually a member of the Gu family too. The Qin family was elated at this. They did not expect their child to show such promise. Each of the people he knew was more impressive than the next. If the two of them got married in the future, he would be related to the Gu family. He would not have to bow to anyone. It would definitely be very good for the business and the development of the Qin family and Qin Qing himself.
Qin Qing had indeed grown well over the past few years. With his own power, he had obtained the approval of the entire Qin family and become the absolute leader of the Qin family. He oversaw all affairs of the Qin family, large or small. Under his leadership, the Qin family was developing exponentially. Now, they were about to rise to the status of one of the most prominent wealthy families. They felt extremely proud too. As expected, their own son was impressive.
After alighting from the car, they were in complete awe at the vastness of this place. It was a pity that they could not go in, but it did not matter either. One day, they would be able to enter.
"Good lord, look at how many luxury cars there are here. Luckily we drove a Bentley here. At least we're not that much worse, " Qin Qing's mother said.
"That's for sure. It's impossible for cars which can be parked here to be any less luxurious. To be honest, our family is not bad too. Qin Qing, don't be too nervous when you go in."
Qin Qing looked at the time and turned around impatiently to glance at his parents."I know. Go home. I'm not a child anymore."
Qin Qing headed inside directly as he said this.
Xue Mengqi was still inside. She quickly walked towards Qin Qing upon seeing him.
"Qin Qing, you're finally here." She hooked her arm through his intimately. Their loving manner made others extremely envious.
They thought to themselves that Xue Mengqi was quite impressive. She had even found such a young man who was many years younger than her.
Xue Mengqi knew that it was also very important for her and Qin Qing to be loving towards each other. For the attack this time, all the steps were very compact, and every step was very important. Although their family seemed to be very united on the surface, in secret, it was divided into many factions. She had no choice but to be vigilant and to prevent anyone from suddenly attacking midway and snatching the position that was almost hers.
She said to Qin Qing, "Later, go around more and greet everyone. I'll tell you who to get closer to and who to ignore. The Gu family is divided into the internal clan and the external clan. We belong to the external clan, but the external clan is larger, so there are more people. There are advantages to it too. This is why we have more supporters as well. But the problem is that the external clan is also divided into factions."
Qin Qing asked, "Is the Gu family so complicated?"
Xue Mengqi said profoundly, "In the Gu family, there are many ways in which things should be done. In other words, ordinary people definitely can't be the mistress of the family simply because they want to be. If you want to be the mistress, there are plenty of things that you must take responsibility for."
Xue Mengqi thought that this was definitely not something that Lin Che could settle. That was why everyone was worried that Lin Che, a mere actress who did not know anything, would not know how to deal with these complicated matters.
Xue Mengqi had her arm around Qin Qing's arm. The first time she had seen Qin Qing back then, she had fallen in love with his clean and neat appearance. The more she looked at him, the more she liked him. After knowing that he was a talented youth, successful, and hardworking at a young age, and was undoubtedly different from other wealthy playboys, she fell even deeper in love with him and could not extricate herself.
She did not know that Gu Jingze had triggered Qin Qing's willpower back then. Qin Qing had consistently been thinking that he had to do as well as Gu Jingze. He could do it and he had to do it too. This was why he had become more and more hardworking and had accomplished what he had today.
Now that he was able to enter the old Gu residence, he looked at his surroundings and felt a surge of anger. He wished that he could see Gu Jingze and let Gu Jingze see what he was like today. He wanted to let Gu Jingze see that he was not that useless.
As for Lin Che...
To date, he had never thought about the circumstances in which he would meet her.
Xue Mengqi was impossibly close to him as they walked in. Meanwhile, Lin Che and Yu Minmin had already arrived as well.
There was a stir among the maids outside. Qin Qing heard one of the maids say, "First Madam and Second Madam have arrived."
Confused, Qin Qing asked, "Who are First Madam and Second Madam?"
Xue Mengqi raised her eyebrows."Oh. They're the wives of Gu Jingming and Gu Jingze. They're the two madams of my cousin brother's family."
Qin Qing saw the maids rush out to welcome them. It looked like a very grand affair. It was much more majestic than when they had entered earlier.
Xue Mengqi seemed to have read his mind. She said calmly, "Both of them are pregnant right now, so naturally, they're the most important people in the family. That's why the maids were rushing to welcome them."
"Oh." Qin Qing said strangely, "What? They're both pregnant? So, Lin Che..."
"Hn. Lin Che is pregnant. Eh, how did you know that Gu Jingze's wife is Lin Che?"
Xue Mengqi had just returned from abroad. She genuinely did not know that Qin Qing and Lin Che knew each other.
Qin Qing's mouth twitched, but his expression showed that he did not know how to respond.
Xue Mengqi said bashfully, "Oh, you did your homework in advance. A few insiders in the wealthy families do know about this, but the public still doesn't know. After all, my cousin brother likes to keep a low profile, so he probably doesn't allow Lin Che to tell outsiders about their relationship."
Otherwise, Lin Che's status in the entertainment industry would have shot to the top a long time ago. But until today, she had not declared her identity. It must be because Gu Jingze did not like it.
Seen in this light, Lin Che was pretty smart too. She did not insist on making her identity public. Otherwise, she would probably have provoked Gu Jingze's anger a long time ago.
Just then, Lin Che and Yu Minmin walked in arm in arm.
Lin Che's belly was still small. She supported Yu Minmin with one arm. Behind her, Dongzi's face was completely expressionless. He helped her to pull aside the curtain in front of the door. Thereafter, the maids quickly brought slippers to them. They did not dare to make Lin Che and Yu Minmin stoop down right now, lest something go wrong with their wombs. They looked down while the maids helped them change their shoes. Afterward, they walked inside directly.
