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

Liu Shuya picked up two cherries from the fruit plate. She hesitated for a moment and said, "A few days ago, I heard a piece of news about the Murong family from my father. I don't know if it's true or not."

Gu Jinhe picked up the teacup and asked, "What's the news?"

Liu Shuya said: "It is said that there is a pair of brothers in this generation of the Murong family, and both of them are from the Qing generation."

She also heard the news when she passed by the reception room. At that time, there were guests at home and her father personally entertained them. They mentioned the Murong family, so she stopped and listened for a while.

The Murong family is different from other families. Their inheritance mechanism is not based on seniority, but on characters.

Every generation of the Murong family’s patriarch is named Qing, and the heir will be named Qing from the moment he is born.

If two heirs of the Qing generation appear at the same time, a competitive election will be initiated, which is a very cruel competition.

Only the person who survives in the end can become the heir and take charge of the Murong family.

The Murong family also has a little-known rule.

As long as the heir is named with the character "Qing", no matter he is dead or alive, his descendants who are of the Murong family bloodline will all be named with the character "Qing"!

Therefore, the position of the head of the Murong family was obtained through blood relatives.

Gu Jinhe had never heard of the deep meaning behind the Murong family's naming of the characters Qing.

What’s more, she didn’t even know that Murong Qingxuan had brothers!

So when she met Murong Qingxuan in her previous life, had he already become the winner?

It seemed that she had never understood Murong Qingxuan in her previous life, and she didn't know what his purpose was in approaching her.

Liu Shuya said: "Although I don't know what the current generation of the Murong family is called, I vaguely remember my father mentioning what the previous generation was called."

Gu Jinhe lowered her head and took a sip of tea. A hint of deep thought flashed across her eyes. She listened to Liu Shuya's words calmly.

Liu Shuya: "The previous generation of the Murong family is the uncle of the current head of the family. His name seems to be... Qingse... Qinglan?"

When Liu Shuya was trying to recall whether her name was Qingse or Qinglan, she didn't notice that Gu Jinhe, who was lowering his head, suddenly changed his expression!

Gu Jinhe narrowed his eyes slightly, Qinglan?

At this time, Liu Shuya clapped her hands and said, "I remember now. His name is Qingse, Murong Qingse. Yes, that's his name. He was also the head of the Murong family in the generation before him."

Gu Jinhe's expression changed, but he finally regained his composure and looked up at Liu Shuya and said, "Are you sure that there are two brothers in this generation of the Murong family?"

Liu Shuya frowned and thought for a while, then nodded affirmatively: "Yes, I heard my father say this with my own ears. The reason I heard this is because my father talked to his friends about the competition for the successor of this generation of the Murong family. It's about to begin!"

Although the Murong family stipulates that only the winner of the Qing generation can take charge of the Murong family, there is also a time limit.

"The youngest person in the Qing generation must be 28 years old before he can start competing."

It is precisely because of this rule that almost every generation of the Qing generation will leave behind bloodline.

Generation after generation competes with each other, one person dies and one person lives.

But it just so happens that every generation of the Qing generation grows up in almost the same environment.

We are competitors, but also brothers.

Gu Jinhe clenched the teacup in her hand, her fingers turning slightly white, and her brows furrowed. The Murong family's inheritance mechanism was not only cruel, but also brutal.

Let two young people grow up together, receive the same education and knowledge, but when the competition finally begins, they have to compete with each other.

Rather than saying that the winner gets the status of the final heir, it is more about who has the crueler heart.

Only a ruthless person can survive to the end, while the person who is hesitant because of feelings will eventually become a loser.

But the losers don’t even have a chance to survive.

Gu Jinhe thought carefully and thought that when he met Murong Qingxuan in his previous life, he seemed to be thirty-three years old.

Five years ago now, Murong Qingxuan was twenty-seven years old, and after the New Year he would be twenty-eight years old.

So he was the younger one, and he defeated his older brother...

Therefore, the gentle and handsome man she met in her previous life had already become an executioner with blood on his hands.

Gu Jinhe closed her eyes, but two words kept lingering in her mind.

Gu Jinhe murmured in a low voice: "······Qinglan"

Liu Shuya was stunned and looked at Gu Jinhe in confusion: "What did you just say?"

Gu Jinhe restrained the expression on his face and said with a curved lip, "It's getting late, let's go have lunch. The chef in charge today is the old lady's chef, I'm sure you've heard of him."

Liu Shuya's eyes lit up. She had long known that the old lady of the Gu family had a descendant of the imperial chef by her side. However, no matter what benefits others promised or wanted to borrow him for a day or two, the old lady always refused without hesitation no matter who it was.

So she has never really tasted the cooking skills of the chef from the Gu family.

Liu Shuya said expectantly: "Then I am so lucky today."

When the two arrived at the restaurant, Xu Cheng had already arranged everything. There were more than a dozen dishes on the table, each of which was exquisite and elegant, as if it was a work of art. There were also snacks on the plates, which were delicate and exquisite, like real carved flowers, and incredibly beautiful.

Liu Shuya looked at Gu Jinhe with envy. If she could eat such meals and snacks every day, all her worries would be forgotten, right?

Receiving Liu Shuya's gaze, Gu Jinhe stretched out his hand to indicate the chair beside the table and said, "Sit down. These are specially prepared for you. Try them and see if they suit your taste."

Liu Shuya smiled and said, "Then I won't be polite with you!"

After Liu Shuya sat down, she raised the glass of juice to Gu Jinhe and said with a smile, "Thank you for your kind words."

Gu Jinhe curled his lips slightly, raised his glass and said, "I hope you can get what you wish for." Don't let this sincere gratitude go to waste.

The two of them smiled in tacit understanding and clinked their glasses.

Liu Shuya couldn't wait to put down the cup, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of pork ribs in front of her and put it in her mouth. The meat was soft, with a delicious and mellow taste. It could be removed from the bones with a light bite and melted in the mouth.

As expected, he is the descendant of an imperial chef; these ribs are the most delicious ones she has ever eaten!

Seeing Liu Shuya's expression, she knew that she was very satisfied. Gu Jinhe smiled slightly. She asked Shuhua to check if Liu Shuya had any food taboos. As a result, she only found out that she liked pork ribs.

Gu Jinhe felt a little helpless. He couldn't just eat pork ribs for the whole meal, right?

Liu Shuya said: "I have loved eating ribs since I was a child. Ribs are also my favorite food. However, this is the first time I have eaten such delicious ribs. It is so delicious!"

Gu Jinhe smiled and said, "I know you like it, so I asked the chef to make an extra portion for you to take back with you. If you heat it up in the evening, the taste won't be any different."

Liu Shuya's eyes lit up. That was great. She had just been thinking about just having this meal. It was such a pity.
