Chapter 408: Let Me Slap You For Gu Jingze’s Sake

The moment Lin Li saw Lu Chuxia, she ran immediately to her side like a loyal dog.

Everyone looked at Lu Chuxia and recognized her with surprise. After she had come to look for Gu Jingyu a few days earlier, all of them had already apprised themselves of her status. Naturally, they did not dare to speak carelessly and merely watched on while wondering how these people had gathered together.

Lin Li… why was she standing behind Lu Chuxia?

Lin Che was a little surprised too. However, she immediately realized why Lin Li was so arrogant now…

It turned out that these two women were now on the same side.

Lu Chuxia scoffed and looked at the mark on Lin Li’s face. Although she did not care about Lin Li at all, she deliberately said to Lin Che, “Lin Che, what are you trying to do right now? How dare you hurt my female lead like this? Can you bear the consequences if it causes any problem for my television series?”

Everyone was frightened into total silence. They had just been thinking that Lin Li was done for this time. However, the Lu family had unexpectedly begun to back her up.

In that case, Lin Li had basically met her benefactor.

Lin Che said, “She was the one who insulted me first. Everyone saw it.”

Lu Chuxia looked around in a very imposing manner. “Oh, let me ask who saw it then.”

The people behind her immediately cowered into complete silence.

No one dared to step on the toes of this young madam. In the event that they offended her, they could forget about surviving in this circle.

Behind her, Lin Li felt extremely pleased with herself. As she looked at Lin Che standing all alone there in helplessness, she felt even more strongly that she was truly fortunate to have found such support.

Lu Chuxia said, “Alright, no one saw it, but me. You hit Lin Li.”

Lin Che smiled mirthlessly. She could not blame these people for acting pragmatically.

After all, it was true that ordinary people could not afford to go against Lu Chuxia.

She asked, “Then, what exactly do you want?”

Lu Chuxia said, “On account of the mere fact that we’re acquainted with one another, I’ll let you off with a slap from Lin Li.” She looked at Lin Li pointedly and signaled to her to go to Lin Che.

Lin Li’s eyes twitched and she instantly understood.

She was already prepared to use her nails. With one straight slap, she would definitely leave a scar on Lin Che’s face.

Lin Che had seduced so many men by relying on her pretty face. Lin Li sure wanted to know how she would continue to philander with men with a scar on her face.

With an evil smile on her face, Lin Li inched closer and closer.

There were still words on the tip of Yang Lingxin’s tongue, but at the same time, she did not dare to make her way over when she looked at Lu Chuxia.

Lin Che looked at Lu Chuxia with a humorless smile. “Are you sure that you can treat me this way?”

Previously, Lu Chuxia still had to be wary of Gu Jingze. However, there was really no need for her to be wary now.

She was the one with blackmail material against Gu Jingze.

So she simply scoffed and said, “Lin Li, hit her.”

Lin Li received the command and raised her hand forcefully.

However, just then.

“Stop right there!” Gu Jingyu’s voice resounded.

Lu Chuxia froze.

Looking at Gu Jingyu, she asked, “Why are you here? There is a small problem that I have to fix.”

Gu Jingyu looked at their side of the room. After glancing at Lin Che, he looked at the two women over there and walked towards them in large strides.

“This place is for my crew. What exactly are you trying to do?”

Lu Chuxia said, “She hit the female lead in the television series I’m investing in. It’s no different from insulting me. I’m about to hit her back right now.”

Lin Che said, “I told you already that she insulted me first. She deserved that slap I gave her.”

Gu Jingyu looked at Lu Chuxia. “Chuxia, she’s also my female lead now. What’s the difference between you hitting her and you insulting me?”

Lu Chuxia looked at Gu Jingyu. “Of course, it’s different. Who the hell is she? You and I are people who grew up together since we were kids. Shouldn’t you be standing on my side?”

Gu Jingyu looked at Lin Che.

Lin Che was gazing at Lu Chuxia unyieldingly. However, she did not want Gu Jingyu to get involved in a confrontation because of her either.

She said, “Lu Chuxia, it’s fine for her to hit me. But you’d best be clear about the price you’ll have to pay for this. I’ll definitely pay you back in kind and I’ll even double it.”

Lu Chuxia scoffed. “I believe that even Gu Jingze wouldn’t say a thing if he was here. Don’t think so highly of yourself.”

That’s right. At the moment, Lu Chuxia had information that she could use to threaten Gu Jingze.

And Lin Che did not know about it either.

Gu Jingyu frowned. He looked on as Lin Li sneered again and raised her hand.

Anticipating the slap, Lin Che pursed her lips and looked at the person in front of her.

Since even Gu Jingze was under her control, there was nothing more Lin Che could say. Besides, it was just a slap.

However, when Lin Li’s hand was about to land on her face, Gu Jingyu grabbed Lin Li’s wrist.

Lin Li froze.

Holding her by the wrist, Gu Jingyu had a dark expression on his face as he pushed her aside without hesitation.

Lin Li lost her balance and nearly fell.

Lu Chuxia’s eyes stopped moving. “Gu Jingyu, what are you doing?”

Immediately, Gu Jingyu said firmly, “I don’t care what grudge you have against Lin Che. Here, Lin Che is my actress and my friend. I won’t allow you to hit her in front of me.”

“You… Gu Jingyu, are you mad? What is she to you that you’re actually opposing me because of her?!” Lu Chuxia said in extreme anger.

Gu Jingyu said, “I already told you not to do it, but you insisted on coming to my area and hitting my cast member. Tell me, who exactly is the one opposing who?”

Lu Chuxia pursed her lips and looked at Lin Che. “Can I speak to you alone?”

Lin Che said, “Is there anything you can’t say to me here?”

“Of course, you don’t want everyone to know about Gu Jingze’s matter, right?”

Lin Che froze.

Of course, she did not.

Gu Jingyu was opposed to it. Just by looking at Lu Chuxia, he felt that something was amiss.

“What do you want to talk about? I want to listen too.”

Lu Chuxia said, “We’re going to talk about some private secrets between us women. Do you want to listen to that too? I don’t want to talk to you. I only want to talk to Lin Che.”

Lin Che stopped Gu Jingyu. “That’s enough. I’ll go with her. It’s alright.”

Gu Jingyu looked at Lin Che and nodded. “Fine. Then, I’ll stand at the side and watch. Lu Chuxia, you better not try anything funny.”

Lin Che walked towards the side. Lu Chuxia scoffed before she looked at Lin Che and said, “I found out about Gu Jingze’s secret.”

Lin Che froze. “What are you talking about?”

Lu Chuxia said, “Stop pretending like you don’t know. I know that Gu Jingze has an illness. He has allergic reactions when he touches several women, although I’m still not sure exactly what it is. But since he can’t touch me and can touch you, he likely has allergic reactions to only certain women, right?”

Lin Che did not say a word and looked at her with pursed lips.

She said, “This secret definitely can’t be made public. Otherwise, his enemies wouldn’t need to use guns and bombs anymore. They can simply send women to him, right?”

Lin Che looked at her. “What exactly do you want?”

“If you really care for Gu Jingze, just bear with the brief pain. Otherwise, wouldn’t your heart ache for Gu Jingze if he was placed in danger because I leaked the secret?” Lu Chuxia continued, “I’m merely letting Lin Li hit you back so that I can also put this matter to rest. I won’t be satisfied until I pay you back for what you did today.”

Lin Che looked at Lu Chuxia.

To be honest, it was really just a brief slap.
