Rebirth: Mr. Fu will not cancel the engagement this time
Chapter 15 The Unwilling Gu Feiwan
My cousin's wife smiled and said, "Since Xiaoheng likes being with my cousin so much, then please be obedient and don't do anything to make my cousin unhappy, okay?"
"Yes!" Xie Hengzhi nodded heavily.
Gu Jinhe was touched by his cute look, and her heart softened immediately. She squatted down and looked at Xie Hengzhi and said, "My cousin likes Xiaoheng, so she wants to be with Xiaoheng every day. Does Xiaoheng like my cousin too?"
"Yeah!" Xie Hengzhi looked at Gu Jinhe, blinked his round eyes, and nodded heavily.
Seeing this, Gu Jinhe's smile deepened.
The Xie family arranged a courtyard for Gu Jinhe. Even though they didn't expect Gu Jinhe to stay overnight at first, they didn't show any surprise, but quickly arranged the courtyard for her to live in.
And my great uncle also said that from now on this yard would belong to Gu Jinhe, and she could come and live here whenever she wanted.
The Gu family soon learned that Gu Jinhe had stayed overnight at the Xie family, and everyone had different reactions.
The old lady asked the old housekeeper curiously: "What is her purpose in staying at Xie's house?"
The old housekeeper poured another cup of hot tea for the old lady and said, "This is the first time the young lady has gone to the Xie family. Maybe she wants to get closer to them."
The old lady's eyes were dazed for a moment, and she suddenly said, "Sometimes when I see her, I really feel like I'm seeing my old self, but she's different from me."
"I used to have a strong personality. I would never force myself to adapt to people or things I didn't like. I would never look at things I hated. I would win at any cost in doing what I wanted to do."
"I've fallen down, I've been threatened, I've been stuck in my car for two hours by a convoy of people, they had sticks and knives in their hands, their eyes were fixed on me, but I've never been afraid."
"At that time, I don't know where the belief came from, but it supported me, encouraged me, and pushed me forward. All these years have passed like this, and my children and grandchildren have grown up too."
"I lost my husband at an early age, my son in middle age, and my granddaughter has been missing for 20 years. I don't know whether I should call this life a success or a failure."
The old butler stood aside and listened quietly to what the old lady said, with a smile on his face all the time.
The old lady said, "But the child has nothing in common with me except her appearance. At first I thought she was cold and aloof, but that day in the Rose Courtyard, she lay on my lap and asked me if I would always like her."
"I told her that no one in the Gu family would question my love for her."
"After hearing what I said, the child's eyes turned red with tears in his eyes. I almost couldn't help crying when I saw him like that."
"She has been wronged all these years."
"It was the Gu family who failed to protect her. This is my responsibility. No matter what, I don't want her to suffer any more injustices."
"Miss, you are a good child, but you are warm-hearted." The old housekeeper said with relief.
The old lady nodded: "She is indeed a good child. If I don't stand behind her and support her, she will be bound by the principles of respecting elders."
"Over the years, I have been thinking about how I would compensate Miaomiao if I found her. I would give her everything she wants and let her do whatever she wants in the Gu family and in Beijing."
"But when Miaomiao really came back, I found that I had too high expectations for her. When I saw her photo, I was wondering, is it really appropriate for such a simple-minded girl to come to the Gu family?"
The old housekeeper looked at the old lady and said, "You decided to hire a teacher for her at that time, right?"
The old lady raised her lips slightly: "She is the eldest daughter of the Gu family and has an engagement. With her personality, I don't need to force her to learn so much. But for the engagement with the Fu family, she must be strong herself to be a qualified mistress of the Fu family."
The old housekeeper knew the reason why the old lady attached so much importance to this engagement, and a big part of it was to ensure that Gu Jinhe could live a stable life in the second half of his life.
Especially since Gu Jinhe returned to the Gu family after 20 years, this engagement became even more important to her.
The old lady not only wanted the Gu family to support Gu Jinhe, but also wanted her to live happily for the rest of her life.
"I can see that she doesn't like the people from the fifth room, so I told her not to get too close to them."
"I just find it a little strange why she would feel dislike for someone she just met for the first time."
Gu Jinhe lived in the old lady's yard until he was three years old and rarely interacted with other people.
The old lady also protected her very well and didn't let her go out to see people most of the time.
Therefore, people from the other four rooms have very few opportunities to see Gu Jinhe, sometimes they may not even see him once a month.
Of course, the only chance to meet is at the family gathering at the end of the month. If she doesn't sleep, she will be asked to come out and meet everyone and talk a few words.
The oldest child, Gu Jinkuan, was only ten years old at the time. Among these children, Gu Jinkuan was probably the only one who still had some memories of his childhood.
The old housekeeper smiled upon hearing this and said, "Didn't you just say that you wouldn't force yourself to adapt to people or things you don't like?"
"In my opinion, the young lady is quite similar to the old lady in this respect."
I have my own set of criteria for defining some things, and I neither force myself nor others.
The old lady's smile deepened. She glanced at the old housekeeper and said, "After so many years, you still can't change this character."
The old housekeeper lowered his head and said, "If my character can be changed, will the old lady still believe me?"
The old lady smiled but said nothing.
The old lady here no longer bothered about Gu Jinhe staying overnight at the Xie family.
The people in the second house never argued with Gu Jinhe about giving up his seat before dinner. They faced the old lady's sudden decision calmly.
Even though the position was originally given to the heir, it was given to Gu Jinhe who had just returned to the Gu family.
They will not make this position a fixed one for Gu Jinkuan just because he has held it for more than ten years.
The second uncle said, "My eldest brother is the only one who has this child. Since the old lady wants you to be the grindstone, then go ahead."
Gu Jinkuan smiled and said, "It's my honor."
Second Aunt looked at the father and son and smiled without saying a word.
The second branch here ignored everything and continued to do the same thing.
There's going to be a huge uproar in the fifth room.
"Why?!"
Gu Feiwan said fiercely: "Mom, why can Gu Jinhe stay at Xie's house? I have been to Xie's house for so many years and I can count the number of times I have been there on one hand."
"Mom, why is this happening?"
Before Gu Jinhe returned to the Gu family, even though Gu Feiwan disliked the old lady and felt aggrieved, he was still able to control his temper.
But after Gu Jinhe came back, she realized that the always strict old lady had such a soft side.
I just never got soft towards her.
She didn't understand why this happened. She was obviously also a child of the Gu family and the granddaughter who grew up under her nose, much younger than Gu Jinhe who had been missing for twenty years.
Where did she lose?
