This family gathering ended with everyone having their own thoughts.

The old lady didn't keep anyone, and the old housekeeper saw everyone off at the gate.

It was drizzling at night. Xu Cheng held an umbrella for Gu Jinhe and stood at the gate of the courtyard to see off people from other rooms.

Among them, Gu Jinyu and Gu Feiwan both wanted to come over to Gu Jinhe to say something, but because the old housekeeper was still there, they were afraid of being reported, so they could only glare at her and leave.

Gu Jinhe glanced at the two people's backs, with no emotion in his eyes, as calm as if he was looking at the wild flowers and weeds on the land.

The old butler looked at Gu Jinhe's leaving figure with a trace of heartache in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared in those already old and turbid eyes.

After walking for a while, Gu Jinhe came back to his senses from his thoughts and saw that half of Xu Cheng's shoulder was wet.

"This umbrella is quite big. It's okay for you to come in a little bit. If you are sick, who will accompany me when I go out tomorrow?"

Xu Cheng did not move, but just asked: "What are your plans for tomorrow, Miss?"

Gu Jinhe said: "Go to the south of the city."

Xu Cheng's eyes flashed with understanding, and he said, "I will arrange the gifts."

Gu Jinhe nodded and said nothing more. Just now on the way, she was thinking about where to go to the first store.

In her previous life, the first family she chose to visit was the Fu family. That was after the Gu family hosted a banquet for her to meet Fu Huaiyuan.

She was still a little confused about the matter and wanted to find Fu Huaiyuan to ask for clarification, but unfortunately, Fu Huaiyuan was away on a business trip the day she went.

She was received by the Fu family's leader and his wife, Fu Huaiyuan's parents. They were very close to her and were considerate of her difficulties.

This also meant that Gu Jinhe couldn't find anyone to ask the questions he had originally intended to ask.

As for the old lady, she would definitely not agree with her idea.

Later, they went to the Qin family, the Wu family, and finally the Xie family.

This was the arrangement in her previous life, and there had never been any mistakes, but now she suddenly wanted to change the order.

Because she vaguely remembered that in her previous life, one month after she came back, the eldest grandson of the Xie family suddenly fell into the water and died.

The Xie family has only this eldest grandson in this generation.

The Xie family was devastated by the loss of this child. When she went to the Xie family a year later, her great aunt could not bear the grief and had been bedridden for many days.

He passed away not long afterward.

My great uncle also passed away that same year.

Only my cousin and his wife are left in the huge Xie family. If it weren't for the old lady watching over, the Xie family might have been devoured by the evil wolves from the outside world with their own intentions.

Gu Jinhe didn't want to see such a tragedy happen again to the Xie family. Now that she had the opportunity to change it, of course she had to stop it.

In fact, even if the old lady didn't give her an invitation today, she would still want to find an excuse to go to the Xie family.

Fortunately, it didn't rain the next day and the sky was nice and it was a sunny and warm day.

Gu Jinhe got up early in the morning, packed everything, and then took Xu Cheng and Shuhua Shumo to Xie's house.

Xu Cheng had already communicated with the Xie family last night. Faced with Gu Jinhe's sudden arrival, they were not unhappy at all, but rather welcomed him very much.

Two hours later, the car stopped in front of the Xie family's house.

The Xie family’s old house, like the Gu family’s house, is an old house with a long history.

The big stone lions on both sides of the door make one feel that this house must be majestic and solemn.

This is indeed the case. The Xie family attaches great importance to rules. The Xie family members stood at the door to welcome Gu Jinhe's arrival.

Gu Jinhe immediately saw the little boy standing next to her cousin's wife. He was about ten years old and was the nephew she had never had the chance to meet in her previous life.

The little boy has a delicate appearance and fair skin. One can tell from his facial features that when he grows up, he will be a handsome guy that will be liked by many girls.

Gu Jinhe stood in front of them and nodded with a slight smile: "Uncle, aunt, cousin, cousin's wife, hello, I am Gu Jinhe, sorry to bother you by coming here without permission."

Xie Zhongwen, the head of the Xie family, looked at Gu Jinhe, who looked quite similar to his sister, and felt as if he saw his younger sister when she was a child. He couldn't help but fall in love with Gu Jinhe.

My cousin's wife spoke first: "When I sent the invitation to your grandmother, I was expecting you to come. Now that you are here, we are so happy. How can this be a bother? Come in and sit down. We don't need to stand at the door anymore."

Then she looked down at the little boy beside her and said to him with a smile: "Xiao Heng, what should you call her?"

Xie Hengzhi looked up at the person in front of him whom he had never seen before, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Hello, cousin, my name is Xie Hengzhi."

Gu Jinhe bent down to look at him, reached out and gently touched his head, and said with a smile: "Hello, Xiaoheng."

After entering the main hall, the cousin's wife first arranged a seat for Gu Jinhe, and then said to Xie Shao next to her: "This is the first time our eldest daughter comes to visit us, so we must leave a good impression, otherwise she will not want to come again in the future, and father will be sad."

Obviously, the cousin's wife noticed the change in Xie Zhongwen's expression when he saw Gu Jinhe.

Gu Jinhe had always known that her cousin's wife was a smart person, but after she lost her only child, she had an emotional breakdown and didn't care about anything after that.

That was why the old lady stood on the side of the Xie family in the end and prevented some trouble for the Xie family.

Xie Zhongwen smiled. Although he didn't say anything, he didn't deny what his cousin's wife said.

Unfortunately, when Gu Jinhe saw them in his previous life, they looked haggard and had no energy at all.

Seeing the Xie family so lively now, Gu Jinhe felt relieved.

Because she didn't remember exactly when the incident with Xie Hengzhi happened, it had been a long time since she knew about it in her previous life.

At that time, the old lady arranged a lot of courses for her, and she didn't even have enough time to rest every day, so she didn't have the energy to remember anything else.

Now seeing this little boy, Gu Jinhe suddenly felt a little sad. This nephew who died young in his previous life left this world forever at the age of ten.

She would never let this happen again in her life.

Gu Jinhe had already thought about it, so she stayed at Xie's house for the next few days. Because she was not sure when the incident would happen, she had to be extra careful every day.

Try not to let Xie Hengzhi leave her sight.

So after dinner, Gu Jinhe made a request.

She wanted to stay at the Xie family for a few days, and she liked her nephew Xie Hengzhi very much and wanted him to accompany her for a few days.

After thinking for a while, the cousin's wife looked at Xie Shao, then lowered her head and asked her son: "Does Xiaoheng want to be with your cousin?"

The Xie family respects their cousin Gu Jinhe, but they will also respect a child's wishes and will not force him to do anything he doesn't like.

Xie Hengzhi liked this cousin very much when he first met her. Now, after hearing what his mother said, he felt even happier and immediately nodded in agreement.
