Lin Che put her hands on his arm. “That’s enough, Situ.”

Situ scoffed and swept his gaze around. “Why? Does anyone else want to kick Lin Che out of this industry?”

Qin Wanwan’s eyes twitched and she hastily said, “Sister Lin isn’t really good with her words. I’m actually good friends with Lin Che. Our relationship is completely different from what you saw…”

Situ shifted his gaze to Qin Wanwan in front of him. He responded contemptuously, “You? Lin Che’s good friend? When did Lin Che have a friend as trashy as you? You want to claim connections with Lin Che and hold yourself out to be her good friend, but you’re not even worthy.”

Qin Wanwan’s face darkened.

Situ Qiong did not mince his words at all. He spared no thought for Qin Wanwan’s feelings and even attacked her verbally in such an obvious manner.

Seeing as he had done this in front of the newbies, Sister Lin refused to admit defeat. From behind him, she asked, “Where did a bastard like you come from? Do you know who is standing in front of you? It’s Qin Wanwan. Is an unimportant hoodlum like you even worthy of her?”

Situ Qiong looked deranged as he looked at Qin Wanwan and said, “You’re right. I don’t know who this person is. Because I’ve never had to know someone who isn’t worthy of being known by me.”

As they looked at this ridiculously arrogant man, they were momentarily at a loss for words.

Situ Qiong turned to Lin Che and said, “Lin Che, let’s go.”

Lin Che looked at them and was secretly amused. She was even more amused when she saw how Sister Lin was glaring and how speechless she was.

Situ Qiong walked straight ahead and Lin Che trailed behind him while smiling.

Sister Lin gritted her teeth angrily. “Who do you think you are? We’re not the least bit interested in making your acquaintance.”

However, just then, a newbie behind them simply said, “Ha, I know. That’s Situ Qiong. That day, someone saw Situ Qiong pick up Lin Che from the entrance.”

Situ Qiong?

Sister Lin’s and Qin Wanwan’s eyes flashed.

Instantly, the newbies began to discuss amongst themselves in excitement. They looked at Sister Lin and Qin Wanwan in amusement.

It was true that a mere Qin Wanwan was worth nothing in Situ Qiong’s eyes.

Earlier, Situ Qiong’s words had been tremendously audacious; he had said that he did not know Qin Wanwan, that Qin Wanwan was not worthy of his acquaintance, and that Qin Wanwan could only dream of being associated with Lin Che.

In retrospect, his words had really been like one slap after another, each landing directly on Qin Wanwan’s face.

Qin Wanwan’s face nearly contorted from anger when she saw the mocking expressions on the newbies’ faces.

Thus, she quickly gave an excuse and sneaked off with Sister Lin in tow.

Lin Che looked at Situ Qiong. Amused, she turned around to look inside before saying to Situ Qiong, “You were really too arrogant just now.”

Situ Qiong asked, “Why? Was I wrong? Why did you behave like that too? A top socialite like you.”

“Hey, hey, hey. Stop saying that I’m a top socialite. That was just a joke.”

“That’s not a joke. If you’re the top socialite, you’re the top socialite.”

“That’s a different field. Here, I still want to take acting seriously. By the way, why are you here?” She said while looking at Situ Qiong.

Situ Qiong pulled her out. “If you’re free, let’s go fence together.”

Lin Che looked at Situ Qiong and recalled Butler Chen’s words. She instinctively asked, “Why did you suddenly think of fencing?”

Situ Qiong asked, “Why are you asking me this out of the blue?”

“Butler Chen told me that before this, you refused to ever fence again.”

Situ Qiong’s expression fell slowly. He glanced at Lin Che before turning his head away again. “What if I told you that you’ve given me inspiration? You’ve shown me that working hard at something is really worth it. I feel that I’ve let myself languish for too long. So no matter what I do, as long as I work hard at it, I’m bound to get good results. That’s precisely what sportsmanship is. It’s like that for fencing, and it’s the same for my family’s business. Even if I can’t fence anymore, I can still continue the spirit of fencing elsewhere.”

He said, “Fencing is a gentleman’s sport. You stop once you get a point. Whether you win or lose is decided entirely based on the competition. I can do the same in the business world.”

His words stirred many thoughts in Lin Che’s mind.

However, she looked at Situ Qiong and asked, “How could I possibly have given you so much inspiration? But I’m very happy that you’re able to get back on your feet.”

Situ Qiong looked at Lin Che unwaveringly before taking a step towards her.

It was only a step but suddenly, he seemed to be much closer to her.

Lin Che froze. She looked at him and did not know what to say.

But just then.

A car abruptly swerved across the street and rushed straight towards them.

The earth-shattering sound it emitted inevitably turned some heads.

Lin Che turned her head around in astonishment. Like an illusion, she saw the black car heading straight for them before swerving at a beautiful angle and stopping in front of them in a very dashing manner.

Lin Che thought the car looked a little familiar.

The next moment, she remembered that the car belonged to the Gu family.

It was one of the cars in Gu Jingze’s fleet of luxury cars.

As she expected, the door of the car opened and Gu Jingze climbed out. His large and tall and figure stepped out before he pushed the door shut in a cool manner. His movements were seamless and extraordinarily natural.

Lin Che wondered why he had suddenly come.

“Gu Jingze, you…”

But Gu Jingze merely glanced meaningfully at Lin Che.

Then, he looked beside him at Situ Qiong.

It was strange to Lin Che that the two of them seemed to already know each other.

She had initially thought that they were not acquainted with one another.

The two of them were of similar height. Gu Jingze was larger in size, which made Situ Qiong appear slightly smaller. Situ Qiong had a gentler disposition, attributable perhaps to the fact that he had stayed at home for too long. On the other hand, Gu Jingze was gloomy and frightening in his indifferent state. As each of them looked the other in the eye, at the side, Lin Che’s mind was in a mess.

What were they about to do? She hoped that they were not about to get into a fight.

However, Gu Jingze was the first to speak. “I heard that you’re a good fencer.”

“That’s right,” Situ Qiong said. Beside them, Lin Che got anxious when she saw their unyielding gazes at one another.

Gu Jingze said, “Coincidentally, I’ve also learned how to fence before.”

“Really? You’re a man of many talents. How impressive.”

“How about we compete?”

No way. What were they planning to do…

Lin Che asked frantically, “Compete? Stop messing around. Why should the two of you compete?”

However, it seemed that neither of them had heard Lin Che’s words.

They merely continued to gaze at one another.

Situ Qiong said, “Fine. Let’s compete since you said so. But how should we go about it?”

“Isn’t that Q University over there? We can go there and compete.”

“That’s great. But I’m just worried that there may be too many people at Q University. If we went there and you lost, it wouldn’t be good.”

Gu Jingze scoffed. “It doesn’t matter to me. But I’m afraid that your reputation as a champion may be ruined today if you lose to me.”

“That’s just an empty title. I don’t care.”

“Then, what are we waiting for? Let’s go.”

No way. Were they really going to compete…

Lin Che looked at the incomparably serious expressions on their faces. Her thoughts truly got even more jumbled up.
