Rebirth: Mr. Fu will not cancel the engagement this time

The sky was still foggy the next day, but the rain gradually subsided and the raindrops fell gently.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Liu Shuya appeared in front of Gu Jinhe on time. She looked around and smiled at Gu Jinhe, "Your environment here is good, especially the roses on the courtyard wall. Although they are withered now, I can imagine how beautiful they will be when they bloom."

Gu Jinhe glanced at the gift boxes on the table and asked, "Why did you send so many things over?"

Liu Shuya explained: "These were actually prepared by my father. After he knew that you invited me to the Gu family, he specially sent these to me and asked me to pass them on to you."

Gu Jinhe knew that the person in charge of the Liu family did this for Liu Shuqin.

She refused to see them not because of this, but because the people she wanted to see were not them.

Gu Jinhe asked, "How have you been lately?" The two hadn't seen each other since Liu Shuqin's birthday party.

Even though the Liu family tried their best to stop Liu Shuqin's words at the banquet, the people who attended the banquet at that time were of high status, so the words were still spread in a small circle.

It also had a certain impact on Liu Shuya. During this period, she almost never went out and stayed in her room all day, thinking that if she didn't see it, she wouldn't be bothered.

Liu Shuya's smile faded a little. She said, "After the last incident, the Liu family branch had some complaints against Shuqin. I don't know why she asked someone to attack you, but this was extremely bad. After you didn't want to see her, your father went back and used the family rules. Three whips and your skin was torn."

The whip was specially made with dense barbs on it, and it would leave a bloody mark when it hit a person.

Now Liu Shuqin was still lying on the bed and cursing. She cursed everyone in the Liu family, even the head of the Liu family and his wife were not spared.

Of course, inevitably, Gu Jinhe's name would appear in Liu Shuqin's mouth.

All the words he said were unpleasant to the eye, and because of this incident, the head of the Liu family almost used family rules again.

In order to avoid being beaten, Liu Shuqin learned his lesson and stopped mentioning Gu Jinhe's name. He just cursed other people, which sounded a bit like a veiled attack.

Gu Jinhe remained silent. The head of the Liu family probably hoped that these three whippings would teach Liu Shuqin a lesson, but given Liu Shuqin's personality, he was probably very resentful in his heart right now.

Gu Jinhe: "In fact, Liu Shuqin did this because someone instigated her."

Gu Jinhe told Ye Pingting and Liu Shuqin about the possible cooperation.

She said, "Aunt Wu has always been resentful of me for occupying the position of the eldest daughter of the Gu family. She can do anything for her daughter Gu Feiwan."

Liu Shuya was a little surprised. Generally, such internal conflicts within the family would not be casually disclosed.

Even if she was a familiar friend, she would have to think twice, not to mention that this was only her second meeting with Gu Jinhe, a casual acquaintance. Why was he saying all this to her?

Gu Jinhe continued, "Liu Shuqin wants you to leave the Liu family. Aunt Wu is very hostile to me. There is a high possibility that the two of them will cooperate to deal with us."

Liu Shuya's expression gradually darkened. She looked at Gu Jinhe deeply and said, "Why are you telling me this?"

Liu Shuqin wanted her to leave the Liu family. She knew it from the first day Liu Shuqin returned to the Liu family.

But she didn't understand why Ye Pinting from the fifth branch of the Gu family was related to Liu Shuqin.

Gu Jinhe met Liu Shuya's gaze, neither dodging nor avoiding it, and said calmly: "For your safety, either you take over the Liu family, or leave the Liu family and never come back."

Liu Shuya shook her head. The Liu family raised her, educated her, and gave her the best living environment and training. She couldn't just let go of her like that.

As for taking over the Liu family, it was even more difficult. With Liu Shuya, the legitimate daughter, around, it would never be her turn to take over.

Gu Jinhe whispered: "If you don't choose either, have you ever thought about what will happen to you in the future?"

Liu Shuya looked towards the gift box on the table. The patterns carved on it were beautifully done. One could tell from the packaging that the contents must be exquisite.

Her appearance is just like this gift box, wrapped in a beautiful shell, but the inside is already full of holes and rotten.

Her life was given to her by the Liu family, so even if it was returned to her in the end, Liu Shuya would not feel any resentment.

Gu Jinhe looked at the expression on Liu Shuya's face and knew that she knew what was going on, but even though she knew it, she still did not choose to leave.

It's like when you know there is a cliff ahead, but there is a wolf chasing you from behind, you can only run forward desperately, because only by running can you survive, and you don't know when the cliff ahead will appear.

To a certain extent, Liu Shuya and Gu Jinhe have some similarities.

Liu Shuya was grateful for the Liu family's upbringing, and was always tolerant of Liu Shuqin and never argued with her.

Gu Jinhe, mindful of the faint family affection, used his own life to lure the enemy, just to find the enemy of the Gu family.

It’s just that Liu Shuya was willing to do this purely out of gratitude.

In his previous life, Gu Jinhe never knew who killed him or what the purpose was until he died.

After being reborn in this life, he unexpectedly learned about his life experience and had some vague guesses about some things.

Liu Shuya said: "Although I don't know why you told me this, I still thank you for reminding me. You are the only person who has looked at me without prejudice or strange eyes for such a long time."

Gu Jinhe curved his lips slightly and said, "Actually, I admire you very much. If I could have met you earlier, we would have become very good friends."

Liu Shuya: "It's not too late to get to know each other now. Making friends doesn't depend on the length of time, it only depends on whether you get along well. I'm the same as you, and I admire you too."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Liu Shuya asked Gu Jinhe: "Are you going out before the New Year?"

Gu Jinhe: "My second uncle has put me under house arrest and has not allowed me to leave the hospital since the beginning of the year."

Gu Jinhe suddenly felt that the family seemed to like to use house arrest as a method to discipline their children.

It seems like house arrest is a severe punishment.

Liu Shuya said: "If you feel bored, I can come and keep you company."

Gu Jinhe shook his head: "No, I don't really like crowded places either, so this is fine."

She was a little tired during this period and had no intention of going out for the time being.

In that case, Liu Shuya didn't say anything else, and the two of them changed the topic.

Liu Shuya talked about the interesting things that happened to her in the past. The two chatted about everything under the sun, and somehow they ended up talking about Murong's house.

The Murong family is the most mysterious and low-key family among the eight families. Even their peers of the Murong family have never appeared at any banquet.

The Murong family never participates in banquets held by other families and sticks to their own side.

The outside world doesn’t even know how many children the Murong family has in this generation, whether they are boys or girls, and their names are even unclear.

However, Gu Jinhe remembered Murong Qingxuan whom he met at the Penglai Art Exhibition.
