"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."
