Mu Wanqing tugged Lin Che, “Forget it, Little Che. We don’t care about some top socialite title. Come on. Let’s just ignore her.”
Lu Chuxia said, “Aunty, are you trying to stop her because you also feel that Lin Che has absolutely no rights to compete with me? You’re right. No wonder none of you have ever told Lin Che and let her attend a huge party like that. It’s because you guys know that she doesn’t have the qualifications at all, right?”
Lin Che released herself from Mu Wanqing’s hand and looked at Lu Chuxia, “I’ll accept your challenge. However, if you lose, I hope you never come to the Gu house again. You can never step foot in here.”
Lu Chuxia didn’t expect Lin Che to really take up the challenge.
She laughed and looked at Lin Che.
Looking at Lin Che with despise, she said, “Okay, I agree.”
Yu Minmin looked at Lin Che in surprise.
Did she know what she just signed herself up for?
—
Yu Minmin and Lin Che walked in the field.
She looked at the people in the distance and said to Lin Che, “I went to secretly find out more about that so-called socialite selection.”
“What about it?”
“You’re simply crazy to agree to such a thing.”
Lin Che asked, “What exactly is it about? Aren’t you going to tell me?”
“The so-called socialite selection takes place during the annual WW party. WW is short for WOMENWAI. This means that this party mainly centers around the woman involved in this battle who are actually all from wealthy families. This means that it calls upon women to stand up and flaunt their feminine power. Those participating are all decent socialite mistresses and madams. Anyway, the women there are either the headmistress of some family or a wealthy family’s young mistress. No ordinary person can take part in it.”
“It sounds very impeccable.”
“Of course it is. What’s more impeccable is that they always prepare something different every year for them to compete in. For example, the previous times had been archery, golf, artistic gymnastics, piano, ballet, and fencing.”
“Holy… That’s sick. I… I don’t know anything,” Lin Che suddenly felt goosebumps on her skin. “What will it be this time?”
“It hasn’t been decided yet. There’ll be a tea party in a few days and everyone will decide there. I’m guessing it won’t be anything normal either. It will probably be some sick stuff.”
“What should I do…” Lin Che now felt that she had been fooled.
She thought it was merely some singing or dancing kind of thing and it should have been manageable.
Of course, she still simply agreed to it in the spur of the moment.
Now, she knew that she was in trouble.
Yu Minmin said, “There’s something even sicker…” Yu Minmin purposely hesitated. She pursed her lips and looked at Lin Che, “Lu Chuxia won first place for two consecutive years.”
“…” Lu Chuxia was that good?
Yu Minmin said, “Otherwise, she wouldn’t be the top socialite. Ultimately, she still has a few tricks up her sleeve.”
Lin Che heard this and regret started to sink in.
She shouldn’t have been so impulsive and agreed so quickly.
“Nevermind. It’s just going to be an apology anyway. At the very most, I’m only going to admit that I don’t deserve Gu Jingze. Anyway… I really don’t match up to him.”
“That’s enough. Don’t say such foolish words,” Yu Minmin said. “Gu Jingze is not a fool. Wouldn’t he know if you match up to him or not? His kind actions towards you prove that you match up to him. Don’t care about what anyone else says. They don’t know you. The one who understands you the best is the person with you.”
“I know. I’m not bringing myself down and neither am I sad. It’s just a fact. So I’ll just take it as I’m telling the truth,” Lin Che said.

Lu Beichen saw Lu Chuxia come out and he caught up to her.
“Chuxia, how can you go against Lin Che like that? That is not proper behavior at all. About that bet just now, go tell Lin Che that you’ll call it off. It is meaningless, to begin with.”
“On what basis? She agreed to it herself. Furthermore, it’s just the top socialite title. If she can’t even achieve this, then she really doesn’t match up to such a strong and good man like Gu Jingze.”
Lu Beichen said, “Don’t you think this is too childish? If you have nothing better to do, why don’t you ask Dad to let you run some company? How can you wreak havoc and harm others in the process?”
“I don’t want some company.” She looked at Lu Beichen, “Don’t bother with me. You can’t even manage yourself well and you’re trying to manage me. Move aside.”
“I can choose not to care about you, but don’t you come asking me for money,” Lu Beichen grunted and turned to leave.
“Hey, Big Brother, you can’t be like this. I just can’t get over her. Every single one of you is standing on her side. Of course, I’m angry about it. I am your sister and this isn’t such a difficult thing. What’s the big deal in competing? Big Brother, just don’t bother with my affairs. What I want to remind you is that you better take good care of my sister-in-law. She has had no lack of suitors lately.”
Lu Beichen’s eyes froze. He turned back, his dark pupils glowing red.
Lu Chuxia fiddled with her nails, rubbing the cuticle oil on them, “Sister-in-law is such a beautiful lady, It’s normal that people like her. Don’t be so agitated. I’m just reminding you. Stop minding the business of others and look after her more. Otherwise, don’t regret it when someone really takes her away.”
Lu Beichen stood there, quietly watching Lu Chuxia leave.

When he went back, he saw Gu Jingyan chatting with another person there.
Upon closer look, the person chatting with her was none other than Lu Beiyun.
He was a cousin of the Lu family. More importantly, he was the one who kept pestering Gu Jingyan since high school.
Lu Beichen cleared his throat.
Lu Beiyun saw Lu Beichen and quickly said to Gu Jingyan, “So find me if there’s anything. I wouldn’t hesitate to go through fire and water just for you. We’re old classmates. There’s no need to stand on ceremony with each other. Right, there’ll be a class reunion in a few days. You must come.”
Lu Beiyun was a cousin of the Lu family, but he couldn’t match up to the Lu family at all.
Meanwhile, Lu Beichen was the eldest son of the Lu family and was definitely the absolute heir.
Since high school, Lu Beichen always looked down on him. So naturally, he stayed far away from Lu Beichen.
Gu Jingyan saw that Lu Beichen was here and said, “You’re just in time. Remember to send out these gifts. I’m not going back home with you. Mom also said that we’ll be going overseas next week. I’ve already arranged our flights. The Lu family’s planes are all busy, so I used the Gu family’s plane and route.”
Everything was done so perfectly that nobody could find fault in it. It was just like her: flawless and stunning.
Lu Beichen asked, “What’s he doing here?”
“What do you mean what’s he doing here? He was just chatting with me.”
“Gu Jingyan, he was always obsessed with you since we were in high school. Now, you’re keeping such close contact with him. What’s wrong with you?”
