Rebirth: Mr. Fu will not cancel the engagement this time
Chapter 172 Gu Jinhe and the Old Lady Showdown
Gu Jinhe said: "In fact, the first family I ruled out was the Murong family, because they are too low-key, so low-key that they have no sense of existence at all."
But when all are eliminated one by one, the last impossible one can only be the final answer.
Plus, there’s that damn Qing-generation inheritance mechanism, which starts at the age of 28.
In her previous life, when Murong Qingxuan appeared beside Gu Jinhe, she was 27 years old, so when Murong Qingxuan observed her for a year and found that she really knew nothing, he still chose to kill her.
When Gu Jinhe found out that she was from the Qing generation of the Murong family, she knew who had fired the fatal shot at her in her previous life.
Murong Qingxuan, this man is really terrifying.
No, it's all the people who knew the truth, who watched her walk towards death step by step without telling her a word of truth, are a bunch of lunatics.
Terrible lunatic.
So, when he knew that even with the combined strength of the seven great families, they could not completely eliminate the Murong family, did he choose to sacrifice her alone to save everyone?
She was born to be a chess piece, a chess piece to destroy or inherit the Murong family.
Maybe they wanted to train her well at the beginning and wait for her to compete with Murong Qingxuan for the position of heir after she turned 28.
But things did not go as planned. Gu Jinhe disappeared when she was three years old, although the Gu family never gave up looking for her in every year that followed.
But as the years passed, everyone knew that even if they found it, the chance of fighting against the Murong family would become increasingly slim.
When twenty years had passed and Gu Jinhe was finally found by the Gu family, the old lady knew there was no hope.
Gu Jinhe said, "When I was born, the seven great families were celebrating for me. You made such a big fuss. Do you think the Murong family is stupid?"
The Murong family must have noticed something, which is why they chose to take action against her.
Twenty years, a full twenty years. Even if the Gu family had devoted all their efforts to cultivating Gu Jinhe in the next four years, it was too late.
That's why in the last year, I chose to let Gu Jinhe go out and let her see more of the outside world.
Because, one less look is one less look.
The old lady's lips trembled even more violently. She had never expected that the other noble families would make such a big fuss, and by the time she wanted to stop it, it was too late.
She could only watch it, so she chose to let Gu Jinhe leave her parents' side when she was very young and live with her.
She originally thought she could save the relationship, but unexpectedly, Gu Jinhe's parents found out about it. They had a big fight and finally chose to leave the Gu family.
In the end, the old lady had no choice but to let them leave, but no one expected that this would be the last time they met.
If she had known this would be the outcome, she would never have let them go out.
Gu Jinhe sneered and said, "My parents have noticed your thoughts and the intentions of other families, so they want to take me away from here, away from the capital, away from your world."
But unexpectedly, he still couldn't escape the Murong family's inheritance mechanism.
"You treat me as a chess piece, but have you ever thought about the chess piece's thoughts? Have you ever asked me if I am willing?"
Gu Jinhe narrowed his eyes and said, "I disappeared for 20 years before returning to the Gu family. But after I came back, you didn't let me get familiar with the Gu family and the people in the circle first, but asked me to learn all kinds of things. I didn't notice these things at first, but later I found out that you were asking someone to teach me the art of ruling. What's the purpose?"
Gu Jinhe's voice turned cold: "You and I both know it very well."
The old lady had experienced many ups and downs, so she quickly calmed down and looked at Gu Jinhe and explained, "This was also a helpless move. After Yan Zhi died, I could only protect the Gu family for him because I owed him this."
Gu Jinhe said coldly: "Ridiculous! Why should I repay your favor?"
Old lady: "Because without him, your father would not have been born."
Gu Jinhe sneered: "So, I am paying off my father's debt?"
The old lady did not deny it.
Gu Jinhe asked again: "Then what about my engagement with the Fu family? Don't fool me anymore. Don't say it's because of me. I don't believe it."
After the old lady calmed down, she sat down again. She looked a little dazed and a little emotional. She spoke in a hoarse voice, "When your mother had you, the other families discussed several countermeasures with me. After knowing the inheritance mechanism of the Murong family, we decided to devote all the strength of the seven major families to train you. We don't believe that the heirs trained by our several families will be worse than those of the Murong family."
This matter was originally kept secret from Gu Chenjun and Lu Yuan, but for some reason they found out in the end.
Lu Yuan made a big fuss about this and threatened that if they didn't let go of this decision, she would take Gu Jinhe away from the Gu family and leave the capital.
In the end, Gu Chenjun and Lu Yuan took Gu Jinhe away. It was obvious that someone did not agree with her approach.
The old lady looked at Gu Jinhe, whose expression was getting colder and colder, and said, "I was also worried back then that if something unexpected happened, what would you do in the future? How would I explain it to my son and daughter-in-law?"
"So, I discussed it with the Fu family, and we had your engagement with the Fu family. Originally, this was the escape route I prepared for you. I was worried that when that day really came, if you didn't win against another Qing generation, then at least you still had the five major families behind you. With us here, we should be able to save your life at least."
But no one expected that something like this would happen later, in which Gu Chenjun and his wife both died, and Gu Jinhe also disappeared.
Gu Jinhe returned to the Gu family 20 years later. She did not have any deep feelings for the Gu family, and she even had no contact with the Fu family.
This ruined all the old lady's plans.
The only thing that made the old lady happy was Gu Jinhe's intelligence. It only took her one month to complete the coursework that would have taken four or five years to complete.
But this also became a worry in the old lady's heart. If Gu Jinhe had not disappeared for twenty years and had been raised in the Gu family, she would definitely be able to take on the position of heir to the Murong family with her abilities.
It’s just a pity that it’s twenty years late, but this level is enough. It is enough for her to become the mistress of the Fu family.
Gu Jinhe said in a deep voice: "I didn't come here today to listen to your explanation, I just wanted to tell you that I know everything, and you don't have to bother hiding it."
The old lady's eyes became red, her expression seemed to be both proud and regretful, with a hint of indelible pain in her eyes.
Gu Jinhe turned his eyes away and continued, "I came here just to know one thing, why did you insist on eradicating the Murong family back then."
He even went so far as to train an heir to inherit the Murong family. His purpose was to destroy it, right?
