“Stepmother, I’ve said it before. I’m not going back, so just forget about it,” Lin Che said.

Through the phone, Han Caiying could not see her, so at the very least, she did not dare act too aggressively. Her tone of voice brought with it a hint of consolation as she said, “Lin Che, Stepmother is also doing this for your own good. There is nothing bad about the Cheng family. Although the idiot is dumb, at least his family background is good. If you marry him, you will good days ahead. You’ll immediately become the Young Madam and be able to buy whatever you want; their family won’t control you. Your husband is sick and won’t be able to control you either. By that time, the Cheng residence will be under your rule.”

Lin Che snorted. “If it’s so good, why don’t you let Lin Yu marry into the family?”

“It’s because they didn’t take a fancy to Lin Yu.” In her heart, Han Caiying thought to herself, Let Lin Yu marry into that family? In the future, Lin Yu is going to be a proper Young Madam. How can she marry into that kind of family?

Lin Che said coldly, “Stepmother, I’m not interested in being some Young Madam. I’ve already asked someone to retrieve my belongings at home. I will never return to the Lin residence again.”

Hearing Lin Che be so resolute, Han Caiying’s voice instantly sharpened as she said, “Lin Che, do you really want to cut ties with the family? Fine! First, return me all the money I spent on you since you were young. I put so much effort into bringing you up and now that your wings have hardened, you want to leave?”

Dumbfounded, Lin Che said, “Fine, putting aside the fact that I waited on all of you like a housekeeper—something I should have received a lot of money for—you have given me a place to live after all. I will slowly repay the money I owe you by earning it.”

“You… Lin Che, what’s wrong with you? Do you think I’m unaware of your machinations? The reason you went to Lin Li’s production team is because you still want to compete with Lin Li and seize the opportunity to make Qin Qing notice you, right?”

“Stepmother, your imagination is straying way too far.” Lin Che could not be bothered to explain herself.

Han Caiying scolded, “Why don’t you look at yourself? Which part of you can even compare to Lin Li’s pinky finger? Yet you still hope that Qin Qing will take a fancy to you? If you really don’t have such thoughts, then immediately back out from the cast.”

Lin Che scowled and said, “Now get this clear. That is my job. I won’t listen to you and back out just because you asked me to.”

“You…”

Lin Che said, “Also, if you’re really so scared that I might snatch Qin Qing from her, then make your daughter look more attractive. What are you threatening me for?!”

When Lin Che finished speaking, she slammed the phone down.

She lifted her head only to coincidentally see Gu Jingze behind her.

His jet-black irises were like deep waters of the sea, alluring and mysterious.

With awkwardness showing plainly on her face, she looked at him and said, “Why don’t you make any sound when you walk?”

“It’s basic etiquette to walk quietly. Surely, not everyone should be like you, making unnecessary noises and fussing around?” Gu Jingze walked in with his long legs, his posture elegant.
