Gu Jinhe closed his eyes and pinched his brows, then asked Xu Cheng in a tired voice, "Have you found any information about Murong Qingxuan?"

Xu Cheng said: "The news just arrived today, it is said that the Murong family has two children with the character Qing in their names. They are brothers, and Murong Qingxuan is the youngest. After this year, he will be 28 years old."

But apart from Murong Qingxuan who was able to find some information, there was no clue at all about his elder brother, another person of the Qing generation.

The Murong family hid the information about this person very well. If the Murong family had not revealed it themselves, and there are two people with the character "Qing" in this generation, I'm afraid no one outside would know this news.

Gu Jinhe frowned slightly. What was the reason why the Murong family hid Murong Qingxuan’s elder brother? Did they think that this elder brother was more capable of inheriting the Murong family?

In her previous life, she had never heard of this person at all. At that time, she and Murong Qingxuan met because of her accident, and she had never heard from him that he had an older brother.

Since the Murong family protected this person's information so well, how did Murong Qingxuan seize the inheritance rights from this person?

This inheritance mechanism in every generation of the Murong family will always result in a bloody scene.

If Murong Qingxuan's brother were still alive, he would not have been able to seize the right of inheritance without his brother's approval.

So, when Gu Jinhe met Murong Qingxuan in his previous life, his brother had been dead for four years.

This incident always lingers in Gu Jinhe's mind and cannot be shaken off.

Ever since he met Murong Qingxuan at the Penglai Art Exhibition last time, Gu Jinhe asked Xu Cheng to secretly investigate information about the Murong family.

But unfortunately, after several months, we have obtained very little information, and almost all of it is known to the outside world.

This was also the news spread by the Murong family themselves.

Gu Jinhe instructed Xu Cheng: "At all costs, you must find Murong Qingxuan's brother."

She had a hunch that if she found this person, she would be able to solve the problem that she had been unable to figure out.

Xu Cheng sat in the passenger seat, his eyes fixed on the front of the car. After the car accident and shooting, he remained vigilant.

He nodded and replied: "I will have people continue to keep an eye on the Murong family." After saying this, he seemed to be hesitant to speak, but didn't know whether he should say it or not.

Gu Jinhe closed her eyes at this time, as if she knew what Xu Cheng was thinking. She said, "Second Uncle has cleared the obstacles along the way for us."

Therefore, nothing unexpected will happen this time when I go out.

Hearing this, Xu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. It was because accidents always happened every time Gu Jinhe went out, which made him a little nervous.

It was as if anyone he saw might pose a risk of harming Gu Jinhe, and he would be especially careful when seeing large vehicles. In short, these sequelae would not be alleviated in the short term.

The journey was very smooth and it was already past midnight when we returned to Gu's house.

When Gu Jinhe got off the car, he saw Butler Gu waiting at the door.

Butler Gu said, "The old lady ordered us to go to Qinglan Courtyard when the eldest lady returns."

Gu Jinhe frowned slightly. It’s so late, hasn’t the old lady rested yet?

Butler Gu said, "Knowing that you would be back tonight, the old lady was waiting for you."

At the previous family banquet, Gu Jinhe’s attitude towards the old lady was completely different from his previous cordiality and dependence, and all the Gu family members present at the time noticed something.

The night was dark, and the street lights in Gu's house cast Gu Jinhe's shadow into a thin silhouette.

She asked Xu Cheng to go back and rest first. Not only did she not rest that day and night, but Xu Cheng also stayed up with her.

Passing through the archway and corridor, walking on the stone pavement, Butler Gu tilted his head slightly to look at Gu Jinhe, and suddenly said, "Miss, what do you think of Xu Cheng?"

Gu Jinhe was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "You have educated Xu Cheng very well. He has outstanding abilities and a calm personality. To me, he is a pearl covered in dust."

Being with her did indeed hinder his future.

Butler Gu said, "It is his duty to stay by the young lady's side. If he is a pearl, why should he care whether he is covered in dust?"

No matter whether a pearl is covered in dust or has fallen into the sea, it is still a pearl.

Gu Jinhe looked at Butler Gu and asked, "Actually, I've always been curious, why did you agree to put Xu Cheng next to me?"

According to the Gu family's many years of housekeeper inheritance mechanism, Xu Cheng should have been with Gu Jinkuan since he was a child.

But now Xu Cheng and Gu Jinkuan are not very familiar with each other. They just see each other every day at Gu's house, and they rarely talk alone.

A faint smile appeared on Butler Gu's serious face. Under the dim yellow street lights, Gu Jinhe could not see the expression on his face, but she could hear a hint of pride in his tone.

"When Xu Cheng was ten years old, I once asked him if he wanted to be with the eldest young master, but he refused me at that time."

The reason for rejecting him was even more unexpected.

Xu Cheng, who was only ten years old, said that he wanted to wait for the eldest lady to come back, because Gu Chenjun once told him, who was only a few years old, that when the eldest lady grew up, he should stay with her and protect her like a bodyguard.

Xu Cheng said that people should keep their words. Since he had promised Gu Chenjun, he would be by her side to protect her when the eldest lady grew up.

Be Gu Jinhe's personal butler.

Even though Gu Jinhe disappeared when she was three years old, the old lady personally asked Xu Cheng whether he still wanted to persist.

Xu Cheng only said: "He will only be loyal to one master in his life."

Even if Gu Jinhe was not found at that time, he might never return to the Gu family in his life.

Xu Cheng still didn't change his mind.

The old lady and Butler Gu did not interfere much with his choice, because he was not the only one waiting for Gu Jinhe to come back.

And this wait lasted for a full twenty years.

He was just a ten-year-old child, but he has grown into an outstanding, mature and stable young man.

Back then, Xu Cheng's father would stay with Gu Chenxiang, so Butler Gu intervened, but the result was that he lost his son forever.

So when Xu Cheng was faced with this choice, Butler Gu let him go and let him make his own choice.

As for what the future results will be, it is his own choice. As long as there are no regrets, it is better than anything else.

Gu Jinhe didn't expect Xu Cheng to stay with her. It was neither an order from the old lady nor a suggestion from Butler Gu.

The root of the problem turned out to be her father, Gu Chenjun.

So was Seo Sung the housekeeper her father chose for her?

Despite his young age, Xu Cheng kept his promise and stuck to his original intention, and never gave up no matter how much time passed.

Gu Jinhe suddenly became curious about what kind of person her father was. Others said that he was an elegant and modest gentleman.

He has not been infected by the bad habits of some children from wealthy families.
