In the car, Lin Che looked at Yu Minmin stare out the window. She pondered a while before saying, "Your father can't go on like this."

Yu Minmin laughed bitterly, "Nothing can be done about it. Gambling has already become his life. I've heard him say that he would quit for almost my entire life, yet he's still causing trouble every day. It's okay; I'm already used to it."

Lin Che had always been Yu Minmin's artist, but she was only a small one back then. It was different now.

It was as if Yu Minmin was now her personal manager, so they were together every day. As a result, she came to know of Yu Minmin's family background.

Lin Che patted Yu Minmin's shoulder, "There must be a way."

Yu Minmin looked at Lin Che and shook her head, "Unless I take my mother and brother away from here, I don't think there's any other way to shake off this parasite."

Lin Che comforted her, "Okay, we'll think of something when we get home. Don't worry; we'll find a way."

Soon, they arrived at the Gu residence.

Yu Minmin had never seen the Gu residence. From the outside, she saw some strict-looking guards and thought that it was a bad idea. She turned to Lin Che and asked, "Can I go in? The Gu family probably doesn't let outsiders in, right?"

Lin Che replied, "I don't think so... It should be fine, but I never brought in anyone before."

At the entrance, the security guard looked at Yu Minmin and then politely greeted Lin Che, "Madam." After that, he let them in.

Yu Minmin sat still. She noticed their respectful greeting.

However, she turned to Lin Che but did not ask anything.

She was the manager but she usually didn't probe where there was no need to probe about personal matters of the artist. She only did that when it affected their job. That was a manager's work ethic. When they entered, Yu Minmin then saw the enormous house and the subtly elegant decor.

Standing in the living room, she could not help but say to Lin Che, "Your house is like a palace."

Lin Che replied, "Yes. When I first got here, I always got lost because there were too many turns. It looks complicated but after walking a bit, you'll get used to it."

Yu Minmin remarked, "I can't believe this is Gu Jingze's place." "Why?" Lin Che looked at her.
