"Well, he is a distant relative. He has been studying abroad and just came back."
"Really? She doesn't look big."
"No, she is only one year younger than me." Gu Jingze said.
"Ah, really, I didn't see it at all..."
Gu Jingze didn't care about this. He just held her in his arms and walked while talking, "She used to go to Stanford University to get a Ph.D., and then went to the University of Chicago, then to Harvard University, and went to several universities. During her time at school, I have also run several companies, and I seem to have been a charity ambassador in the United States. "
"ah… "
It sounds awesome.
Gu Jingze frowned and thought for a moment. He didn't remember anything more. He just said, "There should be something else, but I don't know much about it. I usually don't deal with the affairs of the Gu family's female relatives. Mother is in charge."
"Oh... will the mistress take care of this?"
"Yes, the division of labor is clear. This can also ensure that the head of the Gu family has no worries. The Gu family has had its own things to do both internally and externally for many years. There has never been chaos within the Gu family. Even if there is a small town struggle, no outsiders will be able to interfere. It is also because of this power that the Gu family has become a rare wealthy family that has not been decadent for so many years. "
The ancient wealthy families are not unreasonable.
Lin Che thought about Xue Mengqi and felt that she looked like a pretty ordinary person with so many achievements and experiences. Seeing as how there were no ordinary people in the Gu family.
Gu Jingze thought for a while and felt that it would be inappropriate for Lin Che to go somewhere else. He would not be at ease if he left her alone here, no matter who was watching.
Therefore, he simply took Lin Che inside and went to the place where Gu Xiande rested.
At least he was always there, watching her with his own eyes, so he wouldn't feel worried.
Just like that, he pulled Lin Che and walked inside.
Lin Che gradually discovered that there seemed to be no female relatives at home. The closer she looked inside, the more clan members she saw.
The expressions on the faces of the clan members were definitely more surprised than they were. They didn't expect that Gu Jingze brought Lin Che in directly.
At this time, the female relatives were all waiting outside. Although it was not said that there was such a rule, it was also the consensus among everyone that women should not interfere with men's affairs.
It was good now that Lin Che followed Gu Jingze into the back in such a grand manner.
These are the most confidential matters of the Gu family. Regarding Gu Xiande's condition, the current treatment, and even the funeral arrangements that have begun to be discussed, they are all top-notch matters. Lin Che actually came to participate. Is this a big deal
However, when people came in, no one dared to say anything. They could only complain secretly, saying that this Gu Jingze was too used to Lin Che.
After Lin Che was placed inside, she rested on one side. Gu Jingze kissed her and told her to have a good rest while he went out to talk about things first.
Lin Che was inside and could hear some movement outside. She knew that everyone was discussing Gu Xiande's condition, but she couldn't hear it clearly.
However, when this information reached the outside, it was changed. It was said that Lin Che actually went to the back hall and followed Gu Jingze to participate in matters outside the Gu family.
Lin Che was actually bored inside. She watched the news, listened to what was said outside, read a novel, and saw the servant coming to deliver something. She took a few bites casually, but couldn't finish it. But at this moment, Yu Minmin suddenly felt A call came, saying that she was coming to Gu's house, and asked if she was there.
When Lin Che heard that someone she knew could finally come to accompany her and she wouldn't be too bored, she quickly agreed.
Lin Che directly asked people to bring Yu Minmin in and let the soldiers go, so Yu Minmin was also brought in soon. Although the people outside felt that it was not appropriate, they did not dare to say anything.
Yu Minmin went inside. Her belly was getting bigger and she walked a little differently than before. She held her forehead and said, "There are so many people outside."
Lin Che said, "Yes, there have been so many people in the Gu family these days.
Thinking about it, it's fortunate that the Gu family's place is large, like a manor, with more than a dozen houses. Otherwise, there is really no way to accommodate so many people.
At first, Lin Che thought that the Gu family was so big, so how could they live in it? Not many places would be empty. Now that she thinks about it, the Gu family is considered the headquarters of a family, so if they don't make it bigger, they won't be able to live in it at all when something happens. Yes, since we are a big family, we must have been prepared for it.
But this place really didn't look like a home. She felt that the Gu residence where she and Gu Jingze lived was better, like a home, so warm, and although it was big, it was not so empty.
It's like a headquarters here, nothing else.
Yu Minmin looked around, "I heard that Mr. Gu is over here?"
"yes."
"Wow, how did you get in here?"
"Ah, what's wrong here? Can't we enter?" Lin Che asked strangely.
Yu Minmin exclaimed, "Don't you know, of course you are not allowed to enter here."
"Then how did I get in?" Lin Che said.
Yu Minmin pulled the silly girl and said, "The Gu family has an unwritten rule, which is that men and women should do things separately. The women should wait outside while the men inside handle things. The women should not mix with the men at will. That’s why you don’t see any female relatives here, it’s all the clan members who are discussing the matter.”
"Yeah, it seems so. I haven't seen anyone since I came in, but it was Gu Jingze who brought me here."
Yu Minmin exclaimed, "I have to follow you to come in, otherwise I wouldn't be able to go to such a top-secret place. The place where Mr. Gu rests, the top secrets are all here."
Yes, the top secret of the Gu family now is the old man's condition.
Lin Che said, "I don't care. I think these rules are bullshit."
Yu Minmin said, "Of course Gu Jingze wouldn't talk to you about these rules on weekdays, because Gu Jingze and you are different after all. However, I heard that other people in the Gu family have very good rules. This kind of old family has some rules. People are conservative and too rigid. I went to visit my clan relatives with Gu Jingming before, and I found that there was no language barrier at all, and it felt like living in two worlds. "
Lin Che smiled and said, "So they like to stay stuck in their ways, but I don't want to do that at all. I feel the greatest freedom."
"yes."
"We are obviously a family, all relatives and friends, and there are so many rules for everything we do. And, according to you, both husband and wife in your family must have rules, so what's the point?"
"Maybe they are used to it. We married from outside and are not ladies of the family, so naturally we are not used to it."
