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

At noon, the Rose Courtyard was filled with gift boxes.

These were all sent by Qinglan Court. It turned out that the old lady asked Gu Jinhe to go over so that she could choose gifts.

But Gu Jinhe did not go over, so the old lady directly had all the gift boxes delivered over.

If Gu Feiwan was still at the Gu family, he would be so irritated after knowing this that he would come to the door.

But even if Gu Feiwan was not there, some people in the Gu family would still feel uncomfortable.

When Gu Jinhe walked out of the room, he saw the yard filled with gift boxes, leaving no room for anyone to step.

Shuhua was standing by to register these things. When he saw Gu Jinhe coming out, he immediately stepped forward and said, "These were sent by the old lady. She knew you were resting, so she asked us not to disturb you. The people who sent the things were very careful."

Xu Cheng stood in the corridor and said, "These are the New Year gifts that the old lady gave to the eldest lady."

Gu Jinhe took a quick look and knew that the number was a huge one, more than ten times the gifts he had sent every year in his previous life.

"Since they have all been delivered, register them and send them to the warehouse." Gu Jinhe said lightly.

Shuhua was a little surprised: "Don't you want to open it and take a look?"

Gu Jinhe turned and went to the side hall without even glancing at the gift boxes that filled the yard.

Upon seeing this, Shuhua did not ask any more questions, but continued to register. As there were too many types of gifts, it took her three hours to finish registering.

By the time she had sorted out the gifts in the yard, it was already past lunch time. Fortunately, the chef had left some food for her.

While eating, Shuhua suddenly thought of Liu Shuya, and asked Xu Cheng, "Where is Miss Shuya?"

Why didn’t I come back for lunch at noon?

Xu Cheng: "Wu Lu took the food box to the theater."

Shuhua rolled his eyes and whispered mysteriously, "Xu Cheng, have you discovered anything fishy between Wu Lu and Miss Shuya?"

Xu Cheng glanced at her and said nothing.

Shuhua said stubbornly, "Since Miss Shuya came to the Gu family, I haven't seen Wu Lu go out. In the past, he was always elusive."

Now, when I look up, I can see him guarding Liu Shuya, as if he is afraid that she will commit suicide again.

Anyone could tell from his worried look that he treated Liu Shuya differently.

Xu Cheng still didn't speak.

After finishing his meal, Shuhua looked at Xu Cheng puzzledly and asked, "Could it be that what I said was wrong?"

Is it that Wu Lu doesn’t like Liu Shuya, or is it that Liu Shuya doesn’t like Wu Lu?

Xu Cheng was silent for a while before he said helplessly: "Since you have finished your meal, go and stay with the young lady."

Shuhua frowned, looked at Xu Cheng and said, "I'll go now, but you answer my question first. Am I right?"

Xu Cheng: “...Yes.”

Wow!

Shuhua jumped up all of a sudden, as if he had obtained some great treasure, and cheered happily, then quickly calmed down and said, "I will go and accompany the young lady now."

After Shuhua left, Xu Cheng lowered his eyelids slightly. Without verifying Wu Lu's background, from the fact that he knew Liu Shuya, it can be seen that his background should have some connection with the aristocratic family.

Sure enough, after investigation, Xu Cheng discovered that Wu Lu was actually the illegitimate son of the Wu family. For some unknown reason, he was taken to live with the Wu family for a period of time when he was a child.

I guess it was during that time that I got to know Liu Shuya.

However, the good times did not last long. He was driven out by the Wu family not long after. His mother died as a result. When he grew up, he was also framed by the Wu family and sent to prison.

The Wu family did all this obviously because they didn't want Wu Lu to compete for Wu Qian's position as heir.

After all, one is the eldest son and the rightful heir.

One is an illegitimate child of ignominious birth, with no legitimate reason.

But even so, some people in the Wu family were still worried that Wu Lu would have thoughts that he shouldn't have, so they took the initiative and ruined Wu Lu's life in advance.

It was to cut off his possibility of inheriting the Wu family.

But by doing this, the Wu family has sown the seeds of disaster, and will sooner or later face counterattack.

When Shuhua came to Gu Jinhe, he found her sitting silently on the couch with a book in her hand, but her eyes were not on the pages. Instead, she was staring at the mottled light coming in from the coffin outside the window.

Even the calligraphy and paintings came in without being noticed.

Shuhua went out again quietly and waited at the door for Gu Jinhe's instructions.

Today is New Year's Eve, the day for the Gu family to have a dinner together. The old lady also sent so many gifts today. I believe that other people in the Gu family must have received the news by now.

It seemed like a long time had passed, or maybe it was just a quarter of an hour, when Gu Jinhe's voice came from the house.

"come in."

Shuhua walked in again, only to see that Gu Jinhe had put down the book in his hand and stood up from the couch.

After seeing the calligraphy and painting, he said, "There is a red box on the dressing table, go get it."

Shuhua: “Yes.”

After Shuhua brought the box over, Gu Jinhe said, "Distribute the red envelopes in here to the people in the courtyard. I've prepared some for you, Xu Cheng, and Shu Mo."

Shuhua held the box with a bright smile on his face, and said with a grin, "Okay!"

"Thank you, miss!"

After saying this, Shuhua carried the box and went out briskly. Gu Jinhe could hear Shuhua's full-bodied voice even in the room.

"Come and get the red envelopes! The young lady is giving us red envelopes!"

The Gu family had their New Year’s Eve dinner early, starting at 4:30 in the afternoon.

Gu Jinhe arrived at Qinglan Courtyard on time. At this time, almost everyone in the Gu family had arrived.

This year's Gu family's New Year's Eve dinner was different from previous years. There was one more person and one less person.

But the number of people is the same.

After the old lady took her seat, Gu Chenxiang from the second house began to offer her tea and say auspicious words.

The next generation starts with Gu Jinkuan, whose New Year’s message was very concise.

"I wish grandma a long life and good health. I wish everyone a happy life and all the best."

Next came Gu Jinrong, Gu Jinhong and Gu Jinyu.

When it was Gu Jinhe's turn, everyone looked at her. Considering the many gift boxes that the old lady had sent to the Rose Courtyard this morning, everyone thought that she would definitely say many words of blessing to the old lady.

In the end, Gu Jinhe just stood up, raised the cup in his hand and said to everyone: "I wish you all a happy new year. In the new year, you can smile more and everything will go well."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire dining room fell silent. Even Prime Minister Gu looked at Gu Jinhe for a second second, as if he had not expected her to say such a concise congratulatory message.

Originally, everyone expected that Gu Jinhe should have spoken to the old lady, but unexpectedly, she spoke to everyone and did not even mention the old lady.

Everyone's eyes inevitably turned to the old lady. The New Year's greetings from her most beloved granddaughter were not addressed to her alone. They were thinking about the gifts that were given to her in the morning.

I don’t know what the old lady is thinking at this moment.
