Gu Jingze went in first.
The old man was still alive, but the clan members were already crying outside.
These people cried so much that they looked more like his grandson than his own real grandson.
Upon seeing Gu Jingze arrive, they immediately stood up and welcomed their leader home.
The clan leader was treated differently. Everyone seemed to obey him and whatever negative thoughts they had were quickly hidden away.
"Mr. Gu."
"Jingze, you're back."
"Jingze, you're finally here. Your grandfather… Oh my, the family has to depend on you in the future…"
Gu Jingze greeted everyone and proceeded to go in and ask about Grandfather's condition.
Meanwhile, Lin Che watched from the outside. She felt as if her presence silenced the gossiping ladies outside. They watched her come in with Mu Wanqing. Some laughed along with their little jokes while some looked at her mindfully. Curiosity glistened in their eyes.
