"Then, are there any other factions? Like a fourth faction?"

"Of course, theres a fourth faction. The fourth faction is from the internal clan. You dont have to worry about that."

"Why?"

"Because the fourth faction is mine," he said calmly.

Lin Che understood. So that was the case.

Lin Che thought to herself that it was unexpected for a family to have so many cunning people. But this was something she had never thought of in the past.

Previously, Lin Che had truly never come into contact with such faction wars. The wars had probably been at their most intense before Gu Jingze had become the head of the household. Furthermore, it was precisely now that Gu Jingze even sent her abroad to take refuge. Thus, Lin Che had actually lived in the Gu family but had never experienced the strong clan atmosphere of the Gu family. Now, she had been implicated and involved in the matter because of the position of mistress. She had no choice but to face a situation as complex as this one.

Gu Jingze said, "You dont have to worry. Even though they have many cheap tricks up their sleeves, they can only execute these tricks on the condition that they dont endanger the entire clan. Thats how it is for the Xue family. Its also the same for the second clan where Third Uncle is. Thus, their open rivalry and covert fights wont affect us that much."

Lin Che knew that at most, the position of mistress would be snatched away.

In actual fact, if not for Gu Jingze, she would not want to vie for anything either. But it was important to have an unyielding character. No matter what, she had to fight it out for Gu Jingzes sake. She could not allow him to become a laughing stock.

With these thoughts in mind, Lin Che hung up the phone. She wanted Gu Jingze to go to bed a little earlier. She did not want him to exert himself too much.

She had just hung up when she heard a faint voice calling out to her.

"Lin Che."

She turned her head and immediately saw Qin Qing standing in the corner.

She said, "Ah you"

Qin Qing smiled. He was about to walk over to her but Dongzi immediately blocked him.

Qin Qing froze. He vaguely saw a few people in Lin Ches surroundings following her.

They did not wear Gu Jingzes blue symbol and he did not know who they were.

Lin Che stood there and said softly, "Dongzi, its alright. Hes someone I know."

Only then did Dongzi nod his head and step backward. He continued to gaze in Qin Qings direction in a cautious posture.

Qin Qing stared at Dongzi and looked at him skeptically for a long time. It was only after examining him for ages that his heart thumped. He thought to himself in surprise that these people were not Gu Jingzes; they were Lin Ches own men.

Qin Qing looked at Lin Che. "Are these people your subordinates?"

Lin Che gestured for Dongzi to withdraw. "Yes, they are mine."

Qin Qings eyes flashed as he looked at Lin Che.

Sure enough, she was different now.

She had already started to have her own power, her own personal army.

Qin Qing had heard from Xue Mengqi about the Gu familys personal army. After being trained, these people seemed to be loyal only to their master. They would follow the first person they pledged allegiance to until they could no longer move. These people were what they called personal guards. People like these listened only to the instructions of their master and did not listen to anyone elses command.

And even in the Gu family, not many had their own personal army. Xue Mengqi had one, which her father had specially trained for her. But he could not believe that Lin Che also had one now.

Didnt that mean that Lin Ches status had long been different from in the past? Right now, she had finally and thoroughly made her way to one of the most central positions in the Gu family. She now had the special privileges enjoyed by the people at the spire of the Gu family pyramid.

Sensing the situation, Qin Qing smiled at Lin Che and left.

Qin Qing only turned to look at Lin Che after taking a few steps. He saw Mu Wanqing appearing to be very concerned about her. She was looking down at Lin Ches stomach and looked very worried.

He could not believe that Lin Che really was pregnant.

Pregnant with Gu Jingzes child.

This was already Gu Jingzes second child. Logically speaking, Lin Ches current status was very stable. Qin Qing sighed internally to himself. He did not expect them to meet again in such a situation. Although he had said that he would be relieved to see her doing well, he nevertheless felt a little disheartened to see things going so well for her right now.

Because the person who had given her such happiness was not him but Gu Jingze. Even though he respected Gu Jingze, he still felt very disappointed.

But at the moment, he really did not know if his relationship with Xue Mengqi would really come to fruition in the future. If that happened, wouldnt they have to keep meeting like this?

Yu Minmin was still criticizing him on their way back. "Qin Qing made it sound so dignified. He just doesnt want too much trouble to affect his relationship with Xue Mengqi."

"Forget it. Im just worried that Xue Mengqi is just using him. If he himself doesnt feel that way, then theres nothing we can do about it either."

Yu Minmin said, "By the way, our company is going to hold an annual gathering in a few days. The company is going to travel quite far. Can you go?"

"Where are we going?" Lin Che asked.

Yu Minmin said, "Were definitely just going to the outskirts."

"Thats fine then. I can go." Lin Che continued, "Anyway, Gu Jingze isnt around now. I definitely must go to our companys annual gathering. Ive never attended it for the past few years. Its been a bit unbecoming of me."

"Alright then. Actually, Im going too. Ill treat it as a chance to relax as well. My belly is so big, but I feel very gloomy staying at home." Yu Minmin genuinely felt stifled when she was stuck at home. Although no one dared to treat her poorly right now, she was already used to it at work and it was difficult for her to adapt to her new role all of a sudden.
