Gu Chenxiang did not return home all night.

At exactly seven o'clock the next morning, Gu Jinhe appeared at Qinglan Courtyard. This was the first time she had taken the initiative to visit in such a period of time.

Normally, the old lady would never go when someone invited her to come over.

Seeing Gu Jinhe coming over, the old lady put down the teacup in her hand, looked at her and asked, "Are you here for that child?"

After one night, the Gu family all knew that the child who was good friends with Gu Jinhe was one of the three children abducted from Taisui Lake.

At the same time, we also know that in order to find this child, Gu Jinhe sent all the people in the courtyard out, leaving only Shuhua with him.

Everyone in the Gu family is watching to see how far Gu Jinhe can go for this child.

Hearing the old lady's words, Gu Jinhe did not deny it. She said in a deep voice: "He is just a child. If I have the ability, why can't I do my best to save him?"

The old lady glanced at her and said, "I didn't say you couldn't save him. I'm just curious about one thing. Why did the kidnappers contact you?"

Gu Jinhe frowned, and she looked at the old lady with a hint of indifference, and said with a hint of coldness in her tone: "You sent someone to monitor me?"

The old lady smiled slowly, and her gaze towards Gu Jinhe was somewhat sharp: "This is the Gu family, there is nothing that can be hidden from me. I have heard that you asked Xu Cheng to prepare US dollars overnight. If you have any difficulties, I can help you."

Gu Jinhe lowered his eyes and said, "No need, I can handle it myself."

The old lady sat on the chair and looked at her, still saying: "I have never taken back what I said."

Gu Jinhe frowned: "I said, I can handle it myself."

Seeing that Gu Jinhe was so persistent, the old lady knew that if she continued talking, the meeting would end in a bad mood.

She changed the subject and said, "Since you don't need my help, then why did you come to me for something else?"

Gu Jinhe looked at the old lady, narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "How much do you know about the Murong family?"

The old lady was stunned for a moment. It seemed that no one had mentioned this surname in front of her for many years. Even though she knew it was a behemoth, she hadn't seen it for decades. The distant memory silently sealed it up.

When she suddenly heard this surname, the old lady's heart trembled, but it only lasted for a moment.

The old lady said without changing her expression: "What do you want to ask?"

Gu Jinhe said in a deep voice: "I want to ask, do you know how many direct descendants there are in the Murong family of this generation?"

The old lady looked at Gu Jinhe sharply, as if she wanted to see something from her expression, but Gu Jinhe remained expressionless.

The old lady was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Isn't it rumored that there are two direct descendants in this generation?"

Gu Jinhe then asked: "Is it a boy or a girl?"

"Both are boys."

"Are you sure?"

The old lady looked at Gu Jinhe seriously and said, "Since you don't believe me, why bother asking me?"

Gu Jinhe raised a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, that smile was pale and fearless, she said in a deep voice: "The reason why I ask you is to know whether you will still tell me the truth at this time."

Old lady: "It seems you have come to a conclusion."

Gu Jinhe nodded slowly and said, "Yes, your answer has answered all my previous questions."

So even at the end, when she was twenty-eight years old, the old lady would not tell her the truth.

The old lady has spent most of her life working hard for the Gu family. She has single-handedly protected the Gu family's century-old foundation. In the history of the Gu family's patriarchs, she is a very great person.

But when it comes to her own relatives, her approach is lacking a lot.

Maybe she put all her energy into the Gu family.

So when she clearly knew what Gu Jinhe's future fate would be, all she did was try her best to make up for it. Double the doting would make people lost, and in the thick fog, they could not see clearly whether the person standing in front of them had a smile on his face or an expressionless face.

Like the heads of other aristocratic families, he watched in silence as Gu Jinhe walked towards her predetermined fate, which was destined for her since she was born.

Gu Jinhe couldn't understand why everyone was still hiding things from her until now. Did they want her to live a carefree life before she turned 28?

But is there ever a day when she is carefree?

Has anyone ever really thought about her? Knowing what the final outcome would be, why not let her die clearly?

After his rebirth, he foolishly believed that everything he encountered was related to the Gu family’s enemies, and he even thought of using himself as bait to lure out the enemies hiding in the dark.

Whenever I think about it, I feel that there must have been something wrong with my brain when it crashed and restarted, which caused such a virus to occur.

Gu Jinhe's eyes turned completely cold, and she said in a cold voice: "But why did I hear that the direct descendants of the Murong family in this generation are a boy and a girl?"

The old lady's expression changed visibly. She looked at Gu Jinhe in disbelief, as if she didn't believe these words came out of her mouth.

Gu Jinhe looked at the old lady and spoke word by word, "Besides, this year the eldest son of the Murong family has already turned 28. As for that girl, does the old lady know how old she should be this year?"

Gu Jinhe raised his footsteps and gradually approached the old lady. When the old lady's lips trembled slightly, he came in front of her, slowly lowered his head to look at her, squinted his eyes and said: "The eldest son is called Murong Qingxuan, what should the girl be called?"

"Grandma, do you know?"

The old lady looked at Gu Jinhe's face right in front of her, especially after seeing the coldness in her eyes, her heart sank to the bottom.

The old lady’s voice trembled: “You, you, you!”

Gu Jinhe stood up, lowered his eyes and looked at the old lady and said, "Since grandma doesn't know, then I will tell you."

There was a chill between Gu Jinhe's brows. She said softly, "I guess this girl's name should be."

She almost gritted her teeth and spoke word by word: "Mu-Rong-Qing-He!"

"Wow!"

The old lady's expression suddenly changed. She stood up suddenly. The water cup on the table in front of her was knocked over by the old lady's action, and the tea in it flowed out, but no one cared at this time.

The old lady looked at Gu Jinhe with trembling lips, her eyes filled with hesitation and shock. After a long while, she asked in a hoarse voice, "How did you know?"

Gu Jinhe took two steps back and looked at the old lady and said, "Actually, this is not difficult to guess. With your background back then, you would definitely not fall in love with ordinary people. We can only check among the eight great families."
