Chapter 950: The Disparity In Status Was Frightening

“Alright. I find it strange too. It’s not like we’re in the olden ages. We don’t need so many rules between a husband and wife. I’m just worried that I actually overstepped the line or something.”

“Madam, every family has its own rules. You don’t know, but some prominent families have numerous rules. They live... as if they’re in the olden ages. But Madam, you don’t need to worry at all. We don’t have such rules in our household. How can Sir bear to impose rules on Madam? Those wenches made a mistake because they didn’t know that the only rule in our household is that there are no rules.”

Lin Che said, “It’s just life. Why do we need so many rules? Forget it. I won’t bother with these things. Continue keeping an eye on the newbies.”

“Don’t worry, Madam. At the moment, each one is more obedient than the next.”

True to her word, Lin Che ignored the matter completely as it was nearing the end of the year and she had many things to deal with anyway. They were rushing to wrap up filming for the movie. There was also a special episode to film for the reality program.

After filming the last scene of the movie, Lin Che bid everyone on set a reluctant goodbye.

Out of all the times she had filmed a movie, this was probably the happiest she had been while filming. She had become friends with nearly the entire production team and even with Nan Gongyu.

The movie was slated for release at the start of the year, which was not really the peak season for movies. However, Nan Gongyu did not specially choose a timing either. Anyway, he was very easygoing when it came to filming movies as well. He merely smiled and said to Lin Che, “We’re rushing right now all because of you. We’ll be able to coincide with the last part of the Golden Name Awards.”

Lin Che pursed her lips. “Are you that certain that I will be nominated? Why do I find it a little difficult to believe you?”

“It’s my movie. Of course, I’m certain.”

“Yes, yes, yes. It’s just like how everyone thinks their own children are the most beautiful.”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Just thank me when you receive notification of your nomination for the Golden Name Awards. I’ll go and register the movie first once I’m done editing it.”

Lin Che ignored him. Of course, she did not believe him either.

After returning home, Gu Jingze told her that they had to attend several banquets together before the end of the year.

There were a few banquets that they had no choice but to attend. As it was, after all, Gu Jingze’s first year as the head of the family, there were several people whom he still had to deal with.

Gu Jingze told Lin Che to get ready first while he went off to bustle about. Lin Che did not have to prepare anything either. However, at this moment, Abby said that she had to head back to America for a bit. Over there, they celebrated the new year as well, but it was the fun kind of celebration and not the traditional kind of celebration they had over here. They had also casually created a kind of celebration for fun after seeing the interesting way in which C Nation celebrated the new year annually.

However, she had no choice but to agree when her father told her to return.

Abby was about to leave when Lin Che arrived at the company.

She said, “Lin Che, you even came specially to send me off.”

“Yes. How long will you be there?”

“I don’t know either. It will probably take a few days. At the least, it will take several days. At most, it may take more than ten days.”

Xue Yang was looking at Abby from behind her as well. “Stay safe while you’re there.”

“Hn. Stick to your filming schedule while I’m not around. Don’t be rebellious.”

“Hn. Don’t worry.”

Xue Yang continued, “Come back earlier.”

Abby turned to look at him. She seemed as if she was at a loss for words. She glanced at him meaningfully and smiled. In the end, she walked out without saying a word.

Lin Che felt that the way the two of them were behaving was a little strange. She turned to look at Xue Yang and hastily followed Abby out.

“Abby,” she called out.

Abby stopped in her tracks. She seemed slightly upset.

Lin Che asked, “Abby, what’s wrong? Did something happen that I don’t know about?”

Abby turned to look at Lin Che. “My father thinks that he can introduce someone to be my boyfriend since I’m of age, so...”

Lin Che came to a sudden realization. “You’re going back to meet some men?”

Abby nodded and fiddled with her own hands. “Probably. Although it’s impossible for anything to happen...”

She cast her gaze inside and Lin Che followed her line of sight before saying, “Abby, are you wondering... why Xue Yang isn’t stopping you?”

“...” Abby’s face turned red. She lowered her head and did not speak.

Lin Che asked, “Did you ever tell Xue Yang that?”

Abby shook her head.

Lin Che asked, “How would he know if you don’t tell him?”

Troubled, Abby said, “But I keep feeling as if he doesn’t really feel that way towards me. Otherwise, he would have asked me out on a date by now, right?”

Lin Che responded in disbelief, “Do you think this is America? The boys here are shyer. If he casually tells his friend that they should date, he would appear a bit frivolous. He was probably worried that it would upset you.”

“Ah. Really?”

“Well then. Go on your way. I’ll help you ask, alright?”

Ah Che looked at Lin Che gratefully. She felt embarrassed and looked forward to it at the same time.

“Then... let me know if anything crops up.”

“Leave it to me!” Lin Che looked at Abby before turning to look inside. She thought about Xue Yang’s appearance and felt that they were actually quite well-suited to each other.

When she went back in, Xue Yang was still standing there. He was holding on to the railing while looking outside the French window.

Lin Che walked over to him.

“Xue Yang.”

Xue Yang turned around. There was a hint of loneliness on his face. The corners of his lips twitched as he looked at her. “Sister Che.”

“What are you doing here alone?”

“Nothing much. I’m looking at the scenery.”

Lin Che smiled and said, “Looking at the scenery or looking at the person in the scenery?”

“...”

Lin Che said, “Xue Yang, she’s going to run away if you don’t go after her.”

Xue Yang looked at her. “What?”

Lin Che said, “Abby is going back because her father arranged blind dates for her. If you don’t go after her, she may bring back with her one or two foreign men with blonde hair and blue eyes.”

“...” Xue Yang froze where he was and looked at her. Then, he looked down, slightly gloomy.

Lin Che found it strange as she looked at him. “Why? Xue Yang, are you concerned about something?”

“She...” Xue Yang turned his head back. “Sister Che, she’s the young lady of the Wesley family. She has countless assets. But I’m just a poor lad.”

Hearing this, Lin Che seemed to come to a sudden realization.

She looked at Xue Yang. “Xue Yang, you’re not a poor lad. You’re a famous celebrity. Besides, love isn’t related to money. She’s Abby, the Abby who has been by your side for so many years. If not for the fact that she likes you, how can she have no complaints towards you?”

Xue Yang looked up. “Really?”

“Of course it’s true.”

Xue Yang merely thought to himself that he had never imagined he would have much to do with people like her. He had not thought about it along these lines in the beginning, so he felt very comfortable. He had never flattered her or tried to get into her good graces. Nor had he treated her as the daughter of the Wesley family.

But now, if they were really to be together...

He had no choice but to face these problems.

That was the daughter of the Wesley family. Was he good enough?

He recalled what had happened with Lu Yunshi back then. He had always felt that the gap between them was so wide and the disparity in their status was particularly large as well.
