Dong Zi heeded and immediately left.
Mother Qin was still in shock.
Qin Qing felt even more embarrassed. He said to Mother Qin, "Mom, Lin Che has been the one doing all these things. This banquet is just a normal occurrence for her."
He pulled his mother behind him and apologized to Lin Che. "I'm sorry that my mom came to disturb you, Lin Che. We swapped invitations with someone so that we could all come. Mengqi did it. If it's against the rules, I'm really sorry."
Lin Che heard his words and did not say anything. Rules or not, she did her job. If other people gave up their invites to such up to Mengqi, Lin Che would not bother about it.
"I see. It's okay. It's just that there's so much going on today that I have to understand everything. Otherwise, if someone I don't know is here and I get questioned for it, I'll come across as being irresponsible, right?"
"Yes, I know. The Gu family has complicated rules and you're in a difficult position."
