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

After hearing Wu Lu's words, Gu Jinhe remembered that he had forgotten something. No wonder he always felt like something was missing along the way.

I was in a hurry at that time and was thinking about Murong's family. I didn't think about the suitcase full of cash at all.

Liu Shuya was even more nervous than Gu Jinhe. She sat up straight and asked, "Where's the money? Did you bring it back?"

This is the inheritance left to Gu Jinhe by her parents. If it is lost in order to save the child, it would be painful but worth it.

But if you forget it and lose it somewhere, it will be too late to regret it.

Wu Lu rolled his eyes and said, "...it's true that the eunuchs are anxious when the emperor is not."

Liu Shuya pretended not to hear him, looked at Xu Cheng and asked, "Did you bring it back?"

Gu Jinhe came back empty-handed and definitely did not bring any money with him. Even if Wu Luan had not reminded him, it is unknown when he would have remembered this matter.

Xu Cheng was much more reliable than Wu Lu. He said, "We left earlier than the young lady. We didn't think too much about it at the time because we were taking the children with us. We didn't remember this until the young lady left Pingnan Town. We called Han Sheng later and told him that he had kept the box of money. Since the amount was large, he didn't dare to run back and forth alone, so he specially arranged for police officers to follow him. He must have been impatient these two days. Before the young lady came back, she called to ask when the money would be delivered. He watched it all day and all night, fearing that someone would not be able to resist the temptation."

Shuhua was standing behind Gu Jinhe and wanted to laugh when listening to what he said. He didn't expect Han Sheng to be such a person who was actually trapped by a box of money.

Gu Jinhe said: "Let him send it over tonight, so as not to cause him any trouble."

Xu Cheng nodded slightly. He would contact Han Sheng and ask him to come over later. He would probably not come alone.

Liu Shuya felt relieved only after knowing the whereabouts of the money. As long as Gu Jinhe didn't suffer any loss, she didn't care.

Liu Shuya looked at Gu Jinhe and saw a hint of fatigue between her brows. She knew that this trip must be very tiring, both mentally and physically.

She said, "Jin He just came back, so we won't disturb you to rest. Go back to your room and wash up and rest. When Han Sheng comes, I'll go see him for you and make sure he returns the jade intact."

Now that her whole body was relaxed, Gu Jinhe did feel some aches all over. She rubbed her neck, which still felt a little uncomfortable, and stood up and said, "Han Sheng will come over tonight and have dinner with him. We have to thank him for what happened this time."

Xu Cheng stood up and said, "Yes."

Several people watched Gu Jinhe leave the hall, and Wu Lu also stood up and said, "I'm a little tired these two days, so I'm going to rest."

Liu Shuya looked at his back as he walked away and sighed softly. Xu Cheng glanced at her and whispered, "He doesn't look like someone worth entrusting your life to."

A person who has been walking in the gray area for many years, who has been in prison, and the illegitimate son of the Wu family, with such identities, I am afraid that the Liu family will not agree for them to be together.

Liu Shuya slowly restrained the expression on her face. She knew it very well, but it was uncontrollable to like someone. Moreover, she had liked that person for so many years and could no longer control herself.

And in her eyes, Wu Lu has always been the handsome and cheerful boy he used to be, a ray of light that has entered her life. She believes that he is kind-hearted.

The Wu family is not good to Wu Lu, and leaving the Wu family may be the best choice for Wu Lu.

Liu Shuya said: "He is always the best to me no matter what he is like."

Hearing this, Xu Cheng stopped talking. What he said just now was a subtle reminder out of consideration for the fact that she was the eldest lady's friend. Otherwise, it would not be appropriate for him to say such words given his status.

Liu Shuya also knew why Xu Cheng said that. She smiled and said, "Thank you for your reminder. I know what to do."

Just as Xu Cheng knew that the Liu family would not agree with her and Wu Lu being together, Liu Shuya also knew very well that Wu Lu himself might not have thought about this matter.

No one knows what he is thinking. If Liu Shuya hadn't gotten into trouble this time, I'm afraid no one would know what kind of existence she is in Wu Lu's heart.

Sometimes even Liu Shuya herself was confused as to whether she liked Wu Lu’s appearance or something else.

She thought about this question for a long time but still couldn't get an answer. If she liked someone, she liked him. Why would she need a reason?

Even if the Liu family disagreed with them being together, it would be useless because they had never been together. In the eyes of others, there seemed to be a thin film between the two of them, and that layer of window paper was just about to be broken.

But Liu Shuya knew in her heart that the truth was not what outsiders thought.

Maybe Gu Jinhe also knew this, so he never talked about Wu Lu in front of her.

No one can interfere with Wu Lu's choice, not even Liu Shuya.

Because she didn't want to force him, she wanted Wu Lu to be free and have the power to choose, rather than having his life arranged by others.

······

After returning to her room and washing up, Gu Jinhe did not rest immediately. Instead, she took out a jade pendant from a brocade box and rubbed it carefully. This was a jade pendant given to her by her second aunt on the first day she came back.

It is also a symbol of Gu family's power, and it belongs to the person in power in the Gu family.

If it were before, she could still regard this jade pendant as a token of remembrance for her father.

But it is not appropriate to keep this jade token in her hands now, as it belongs to the Gu family. Her father must have refused it back then, so it ended up in the hands of the second wife.

As soon as she returned to the Gu family, her second aunt gave her this jade token. She probably wanted to use this incident to tell everyone that the second wife was not a power-hungry person, and the jade token should belong to whoever it belonged to.

Gu Jinhe's fingers holding the jade token turned white. She slowly closed her eyes. After a while, a slight sigh was heard in the quiet room.

It seemed like a long time had passed. Gu Jinhe opened his eyes and put the jade token back into the brocade box. He looked at the jade token quietly lying inside calmly and murmured softly, "Since my father once gave you to my second uncle, I will let you return to your original owner."

The next day, when the jade plate was sent back to Hengfuyuan, Gu Chenxiang looked at it for a long time, with a complicated look in his eyes.

Second Aunt took the jade token and put it in her hand. After looking at it for a long time, she said, "Does the child know?"

Gu Chenxiang said in a low voice: "Jinhe is much more sensible than I thought."

Second Aunt's eyes gradually became moist. She frowned and said, "Isn't there any other choice?"

Why must an innocent child be forced to face such a future?
