The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage
Chapter 1211 Are You Going To Stand With Lin Che

Lin Che looked at Gu Xiande. She felt that this old man had fought hard and long all his life. It was as if he fought all the way into his own dead end.

She suddenly felt pity. Everyone was afraid of him, but nobody thought that he was actually an old man too.

To this day, those clan relatives still regarded him as a highly respected elder. At the same time, this prestige did not do him any good. Instead, it was like a tool that brought them benefits.

She smiled. "Grandpa, do people have complicated intentions, or are you the one who thinks that people have complicated intentions and that is why they are complicated? Im a very simple person with simple thoughts. All I want is to try and make everyones lives happy. If everyone I help in the Gu family is satisfied, that is enough for me. Otherwise, what else can I do?"

Gu Xiande froze.

Lin Che smiled. "Ill make a move, Grandpa. Rest well."

Lin Che lowered her head, bowed, and walked out. She looked at the people outside and continued walking out calmly.

Inside, Gu Xiande felt uneasy.

He did not call for anyone. He sat in his empty room, digesting her words.

Was it all his own thinking?

"Grandfather." Just then, someone entered.

It was Xue Mengqi.

She looked at Gu Xiande. "Why isnt there anyone outside, Grandfather?"

She had just heard that the old man actually called for Lin Che here alone.

Xue Mengqi was naturally unhappy. She quickly rushed over to take a look and see what the old man wanted to do.

Was he planning to compromise on account that he was dying?

That was a big deal for the other relatives.

Gu Xiande replied, "Oh, I made them leave."

If he had not made those people retreat, Xue Mengqi wouldnt have been able to come in so easily either.

Xue Mengqi asked, "Grandfather, did Lin Che drop by just now?"

"Oh, yes."

"Did something happen?"

Gu Xiande turned to her. "Why? I just wanted to see her. Do I have to report everything to you now?"

Xue Mengqi paused.

Gu Xiandes eyes were sharp. He was older and his eyes were less clear, but his gaze still showed the majesty of an elder. It was still chilling. This old man was a butcher with bloodstained hands when he was young. He used his power and influence to kill countless people.

In comparison, Xue Mengqi was still raw.

Xue Mengqi was naturally still afraid of him. Although he had less power in his hands now, his aura itself was enough to instill fear.

"Thats not what I meant"

"Then leave."

Xue Mengqi did not expect her brief visit to make him unhappy.

No, he could not possibly be unhappy on his own. It must have been something that Lin Che said.

Xue Mengqi grew more nervous. "Is something the matter? Have you forgotten that you are standing on the same side as us clan relatives?"

Gu Xiande laughed. "What do you mean?"

"What Im saying is that no matter what Lin Che said, I hope you understand that our motive remains the same."

Gu Xiande said, "Mengqi, you are too anxious and that is also your shortcoming."

"Im anxious?" Xue Mengqi looked at Gu Xiande and could not help but feel agitated.

If Gu Xiande stood on Lin Ches side again, who would stand on her side?

Xue Mengqi said, "The Xue family is a clan relative of the Gu family. But in all these years, we have always been treated as outsiders. If there is one female descendant in the Gu family who is more hardworking and motivated than me, then I would not be Xue Mengqi."

All these years, she had lived suppressed.

Forced by her family, she was required to make good progress. The entire weight of the Xue family rested on her shoulders.

However, she came up just a little bit short. She could have been the matriarch if it wasnt for her status

She sneered. "I have really been

suffering the past few months. Did you think I wanted to be matriarch? I dont want to at all, but everyone pushed this burden to me. They

want me to lead them out of the ne

darkness. They dont want to live under suppression by Gu Jingze and Lin Che. They dont dare to believe Gú Jingze and Lin Che. They can only pin their hopes on me. I only wanted this position because I am everyones hope. But just because my surname is not Gu, I simply couldnt get everybodys approval."

Xue Mengqi thought about Lin Che and felt full of ridicule. "What about Lin Che? She only married Gu Jingze. She didnt have to do anything and she got everything. Why?"

Gu Xiande said, "Perhaps she earned it because she had no intentions to do anything."

Xue Mengqi laughed. "Yes, so do we not encourage hard work now? Those who work hard will die while those who dont can get everything?"

Some people liked to think that way. They thought that nobody worked as hard as them.

Xue Mengqi was one of them. She scoffed and said, "Grandfather, are you sure that you want to stand on Lin Ches side?"

Gu Xiande looked at her. "No, but Im not on your side either."

Xue Mengqi was too disheartened now. She was filled with hatred and no longer fit to be matriarch.

Xue Mengqis eyes moved.

It wasnt her

So, Gu Xiande really was not going to stand on her side?

Xue Mengqi looked at him and

wanted to laugh even more. She walked towards him. "You have long thought about it, you selfish butcher. You will always only think for yourself and not for others. Everyone elses hard work can be trampled on. Everyone elses dreams can be neglected. You can even toy with people. You are toying with the entire clan now, arent you?"

Gu Xiande said, "Hmph. Youre not qualified enough. You cant blame anybody else."

"Im not enough? If Im not enough, who is? Who is?!"

She walked to him and grabbed him by his shirt.

The old man looked at her. "Xue Mengqi, what are you doing?"

"Im asking you, who is enough? Is it Lin Che?"

She shook him angrily.

"Let Let go of me."

"Answer me. Answer me!"

"You"

Xue Mengqi felt him start to cough.

Then, he clenched his chest and started breathing uncomfortably. His lips turned purple.

Xue Mengqi immediately reacted. What was she doing?

She was acting too rash.

She wanted to run, but was she supposed to run now?

But Gu Xiande was already like this. If she left now, he would not let her off either.

She turned around and saw Gu Xiande trying to reach for his medicine.

She smiled coldly and walked over.

"Where are your people, Grandfather?"

Gu Xiande only breathed heavily. He reached for his medicine with trembling arms. He could not get the pills out.

Xue Mengai scoffed. "You made all

of them retreat, didnt you? Just because you wanted to see Lin Che. What secrets have you told Lin Che? How secretive was it that nobody else was allowed to listen?

Xue Mengqi said, "You asked for it. Its your own fault"

Aiming at the wheelchair, she pushed it with her leg.

The wheelchair fell on the ground.

"Cough Cough, cough"

Gu Xiande was on the ground, gasping for air
