Chapter 1215 - Such Favoritism

Chapter 1215 Such Favoritism

Furthermore, hearing her say that made Lin Che immediately think about Li Mingyu. She had to tell him first. If Xue Mengqi looked him up for a collaboration, he would have to inform Lin Che.

A few of them were still clueless. They played the game while the creator sat right in front of them. As they played, they still glanced at Lin Che and gossiped quietly.

“A few of her strong supporters turned up today.”

“What strong supporters?”

“Those few from the Gu family. Aren’t they all her people? In addition, there was Lu Beichen and Senior Lu.”

“How else would she dare to come here?”

“I’ve never seen someone as shameless as her.”

“I dare you to say it in her face.”

“Why don’t you do it?”

“Haha. Let’s do it together.”

“Forget it. I don’t like to create trouble.”

They might claim to not like creating trouble, but they still did not know that they could not afford to create trouble.

They said all those, but in reality, none of them would dare to do it.

Lin Che actually heard them long ago. The ladies thought that they were not loud enough, but nobody was deaf.

Yu Minmin wanted to stand up.

Lin Che stopped Yu Minmin.

“Never mind. Leave them be.”

“If they have the guts to talk behind our backs, they should do it right in front of us.”

“This is a funeral. We should respect Grandpa.”

“On one hand, they are jealous. On the other hand, they talk behind our backs because they can’t afford to provoke us. They say all these out loud and yet they are scared that you would react. None of them would be able to bear the consequences.”

After all, the ones protecting Lin Che were really untouchable.

The procession started. Someone came to call the group outside.

Lin Che and Yu Minmin walked together.

Outside, Xue Mengqi and the rest followed behind.

Xue Mengqi watched at the front. Once she saw an opportunity, she stuck her foot out.

Suddenly, someone at the front tripped and bumped into Yu Minmin.

Yu Minmin turned around.

The person who tripped had no idea who made her trip.

But turning around to face a crowd with all the same expression, it was hard to tell who did it.

Yu Minmin also narrowed her eyes and said, “Some people talk as if they are mentally impaired. Are they now visually impaired too?”

“Hey, how can you say that? It was just an accident.”

Yu Minmin said, “Bumping into me now may be an accident, but was all that talking behind our backs an accident too?”

Knowing that they were heard, an unpleasant look flashed across the group’s faces. However, they still puffed up their chests. “I know that you are Madam President. We are small subjects who can’t afford to provoke you. However, this is the world of the Gu family now. As clan relatives of the Gu family, can’t we grumble a little?”

Yu Minmin asked, “This is called grumbling? Oh, aren’t you shameless?”

“You...” That woman fumed. “Who are you calling shameless?”

Yu Minmin folded her arms across her chest. “Hmph. You said that we were shameless just now. Wasn’t that part of your grumbling? Can’t I even grumble one sentence in the Gu family now?”

“You...”

The woman’s face immediately darkened.

Her eyes glistened, not knowing how to answer Yu Minmin.

At this moment, Xue Mengqi spoke up. “Lin Che, we didn’t say who we were talking about just now.”

Everybody thought about it.

That woman was once again righteous. “Exactly. We didn’t mention any names, but someone insisted on assuming she is the subject and even implicated others.”

Yu Minmin scoffed and slapped the person in front of her.

“You...” The woman was stunned. She did not expect Yu Minmin to lay hands on her.

Yu Minmin said, “Sorry. I didn’t say that I was going to hit you, but you insisted on getting close to my hand. I think it’s because your skin is too thick and wants to be fixed.”

“You hit me. You hit me and you still dare to say that.” She was so angry that her face swelled up.

She looked as if she wanted to lunge at Yu Minmin.

Just then...

“This is a funeral. What are you fussing over?”

Gu Jingze came from behind.

The few of them looked at Gu Jingze and quickly stood still.

The woman, who had just been slapped, stood out in contempt. “Yes, this is a funeral and she actually hit me.”

Gu Jingze looked at Yu Minmin.

Yu Minmin said, “I didn’t hit anyone. I was just swatting a mosquito and hit someone by accident.”

“Who... Who are you calling a mosquito?!”

Gu Jingze looked at Yu Minmin. “Oh. So be it.”

“What... You’re dismissing us just like this? I was just slapped...”

Gu Jingze replied plainly, “I didn’t see anything just now and she said that she was hitting a mosquito. What can I do?”

So obviously biased...

However, this bias seemed so matter-of-factly on Gu Jingze’s face.

“You’re the house head. How can you be so unfair...”

“How am I unfair?” Gu Jingze narrowed his eyes. “Tell me, what should I do? I’ve said it before. I didn’t see it with my own eyes and no outsiders witnessed it. It’s a he-said-she-said situation first and foremost. Secondly, Yu Minmin is my sister-in-law. Even though I’m the house head, I have to respect my sister-in-law. Don’t tell me that I shouldn’t listen to her words? Wouldn’t that make me unfilial? Being unfilial is the number one taboo in my family.”

“...”

She was completely stumped. She still wanted to say something, but Xue Mengqi stopped her. “Alright, alright. The house head has the last say. We indeed do not have any evidence. The funeral is the most important thing today. Let’s not make a scene.”

They stared hatefully at Gu Jingze and Lin Che.

Grumbling, they had no choice but to back down.

They simply could not win. Sometimes, status was just like that. Just that little bit of difference would set you and the other person miles apart. He was the house head and they could only stand by the side.

The group felt rather unhappy as they watched Lin Che and Yu Minmin walk away.

But they were extremely grateful towards Xue Mengqi.

“Thank goodness Xue Mengqi spoke up for us. Otherwise, we’d really be at a loss.”

“It’s okay. We’re all one family,” Xue Mengqi smiled and said.

She watched Lin Che. Their relationship with the clan relatives was already more strained because of Gu Xiande’s passing. It was practically the apocalypse.

Xue Mengqi grunted and looked at the game in her hands. She said, “This game does look pretty good.”

“Yes, it’s very popular.”

Xue Mengqi said, “My family has been considering making an investment in this business.”

“This is absolutely profitable. The number of players now is apparently the highest.”

“Which company did it?”

“I heard that it was by a studio named Genesis.”

Xue Mengqi took a look and planned to research it thoroughly back home.

Outside, the funeral procession began. After tedious rituals, everyone drove to the cemetery for the burial.

The road was lined with shiny, black luxury cars. Because it was a funeral, everyone instinctively drove their own black colored cars here. Passers-by looked at the row of black cars. Each of them was worth at least a million yuan. As the cars drove along the street, their majestic aura was extraordinary.
