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

Gu Jinhe moved her neck. She didn’t know if it was because of the pillow, but she felt her neck was a little uncomfortable and sore. She might have a stiff neck.

As soon as he got in the car, Gu Jinhe leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes to rest, but in fact he was trying to relieve the discomfort in his neck.

During this time, Fu Huaiyuan looked at Gu Jinhe several times, but seeing that she kept her eyes closed, he did not speak.

Gu Jinhe opened her eyes only after her neck felt better. She had slept most of the way here, so she was unfamiliar with the scenery along the way.

As Fu Huaiyuan had said before, the half-day journey was all in a deserted area at the foot of the mountain, and there was no place to eat or rest.

When leaving the hotel, Fu Huaiyuan went to the supermarket and bought an insulated box and put the buns and dumplings in it to keep them warm.

The temperature is just right to eat it now. This time, Gu Jinhe did not feed Fu Huaiyuan. Instead, he put the thermal box next to Fu Huaiyuan and let him take it himself.

Fu Huaiyuan turned his head to look at her and quickly looked away. He whispered, "You eat. I'm not hungry now."

Gu Jinhe ate only one fried dumpling and then closed the thermal box again. The sun was shining brightly outside and sitting in the passenger seat he was inevitably exposed to the sun's rays.

Just when Gu Jinhe was about to fall asleep, Fu Huaiyuan suddenly stopped the car. Gu Jinhe raised her eyes sharply and saw that there was only a road ahead and nothing else. She turned to look at Fu Huaiyuan in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Fu Huaiyuan opened the car door and got out: "The car is out of gas, I'll go add some."

Oh.

Gu Jinhe sat in the car without moving, looking through the right rearview mirror at Fu Huaiyuan who was refueling in the back. He was tall and slender, with an upright posture, and handsome features that were eye-catching.

As expected, he is worthy of being the most handsome man in the capital's aristocratic family. He is a pleasure to look at.

Fu Huaiyuan filled up the gas and returned to the car. He looked up and met Gu Jinhe's sparkling eyes. He raised his eyebrows slightly: "Do you want to go to the toilet?"

Gu Jinhe retracted his gaze and said silently: "No."

The car started again, and after the next half day's journey, we finally saw some people. Gu Jinhe then realized that this was the scenery on the way to Pingnan Town.

As the sky gradually darkened, Fu Huaiyuan found a restaurant and stopped to have dinner. Unfortunately, there were no hotels or inns to stay at here.

At night, Gu Jinhe and Fu Huaiyuan rested in the car. They were not in a hurry on the way back, so they were not as tired as when they came.

"Ouch!"

Suddenly, an animal cry was heard outside the car window.

Gu Jinhe woke up suddenly. She turned her head to look out the window, but there was no street light here and it was pitch black outside. She could not see anything.

"It should be the howling of a wolf. Judging from the sound, it is still some distance away from here. This is a main road and wild animals will not come here." Fu Huaiyuan was just a light sleeper. When he heard the noise, he explained softly.

This was the first time that Gu Jinhe rested in the wild. She pursed her lips and all the sleepiness in her mind disappeared. She was now very awake.

Gu Jinhe was trying to find something to say: "Did you receive the letter I sent you earlier?"

Fu Huaiyuan whispered: "Received."

Gu Jinhe apologized, "I said before that I would visit after the Lantern Festival, but this time I violated my second uncle's order again. I left the Gu family without even saying goodbye before my confinement time was up. I'm afraid that my confinement time will be doubled when I return, so I'm afraid I'll have to postpone my visit to the Fu family."

Fu Huaiyuan was silent for a while, then said, "You had your reasons for leaving the Gu family this time. You left to save the child. I'm sure Second Uncle Gu won't blame you."

Gu Jinhe asked: "Do you know my second uncle well?"

Ever since the accident happened to Gu Jinhe's family, the Fu family has had little contact with the Gu family, and they haven't even visited each other for many years. To outsiders, the relationship between the two families seems to be cold.

But from Fu Huaiyuan's tone, it seemed as if he knew Gu Chenxiang very well.

Fu Huaiyuan said: "Sometimes I meet him at some banquets and chat with him for a few minutes, but I can't say I know him very well."

Gu Jinhe slowly lowered his eyes and said, "What kind of person do you think my second uncle is?"

Fu Huaiyuan said: "He is a qualified patriarch. After he took over the Gu family, he has been very careful in maintaining everything that exists. In recent years, he has also been exploring overseas markets. He is a very far-sighted patriarch."

Gu Jinhe curled her lips slightly. Yes, Gu Chenxiang was a qualified head of the family, so her father's choice was not wrong.

But she still could not forgive them for hiding her life story. Even when she was 28 years old and death was approaching, they still chose to remain silent.

Whenever he thought of these things, Gu Jinhe would feel alienated from them and feel cheated.

After a long silence, another wolf howl was heard outside the car window, and Gu Jinhe said, "Can you promise me one thing?"

Fu Huaiyuan: "Tell me what it is first."

Gu Jinhe glanced at him. Under the dim light in the car, she couldn't see the expression on his face clearly. She pursed her lips and said, "Don't ask your father about my background when you go back. I don't want them to know. I already know about it."

When they were not going to tell her the truth, Gu Jinhe didn't know what they were thinking.

But now that she knew the truth, she couldn't bet on what changes they would make if they knew it.

What if they wanted to use her as a pawn as a shield to deal with the Murong family? At that time, Gu Jinhe didn't know what she would do to resist.

My destiny is in my own hands, not in the hands of God, and certainly not at the mercy of them.

Gu Jinhe had seen through human nature in his previous life. He didn't want to see it so clearly in this life. He just wanted to watch it vaguely from a distance, through a layer of white sand and mist.

No need to go so close.

"You are afraid that my father and the others are still thinking about you, so they want you to fight for the position of heir to the Murong family." Fu Huaiyuan's words hit the nail on the head.

Gu Jinhe did not comment, and said calmly: "It is undeniable that they did have this idea back then, and they took action."

If the Murong family had not noticed it first, by today, twenty years later, Gu Jinhe would have been just a chess piece in their hands, a chess piece that they had controlled and manipulated for more than twenty years.

After a while, Fu Huaiyuan said, "I promise you, I won't tell anyone about this."

"But the fact that the Murong family is behind this kidnapping case cannot be concealed. Although I have temporarily suppressed the fact that you have been to Pingnan Town, after all, too many people are paying attention to this matter. It is hard to guarantee that no one will know your whereabouts, so you should be careful."

If people knew that the Murong family wanted to kill Gu Jinhe, they would become suspicious. When they set their sights on Gu Jinhe, there was no guarantee that they would not find out something else.
