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 occasion, 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 glance, 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 placed 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 youre completely unrestrained. Youve brought a lot of joy to our family. I know that youre a good woman, but

Lin Ches heart sank abruptly for no reason.

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

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-in-law?

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-in-law told me that you and Gu Jingze had definitely had sexual relations, 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.
