Gu Jinhe said: "Fu Huaiyuan did reject me, so I came here today to cancel the engagement. No matter what, I hope Aunt Fu can agree to my request."

But Mrs. Fu always refused this matter. If it was something else, as long as it was proposed by Gu Jinhe, she would definitely agree 100%, but this was the only thing she would not agree to no matter what.

Seeing that his approach to Mrs. Fu wasn't working, Gu Jinhe turned his attention to the patriarch of the Fu family.

Mrs. Fu said at this time: "Your Uncle Fu will not agree. No one in our family will agree to cancel the engagement."

Gu Jinhe frowned slightly. This was very different from her previous life. Could it be that in her previous life, Fu Huaiyuan didn't know that she was from the Murong family, so he agreed to her request to cancel the engagement?

Wouldn't that backfire on her? Now it seems like this won't work with the Fu family.

Fu Huaiyuan and Mrs. Fu both disagreed with the cancellation of the engagement, and as for the head of the Fu family, Gu Jinhe gave up after thinking about it.

If the Fu family really wanted to cancel the engagement, they could have done so during the twenty years since she disappeared, but no news came.

This can only mean that the head of the Fu family has never thought about canceling the engagement between the two families.

In the end, the matter was left unresolved, and Mrs. Fu never mentioned it again, as if the topic they had discussed before never existed.

Next, Mrs. Fu talked with Gu Jinhe about clothes and jewelry, whose clothes were designed to be beautiful, and whose jewelry was more fashionable.

Later, the two of them also arranged two vases of flowers. At this time, the Fu family father and son, who had just finished playing chess, came over and admired the two vases of flowers for a while. The head of the Fu family said, "I can tell at a glance which one was made by Jin He."

Madam Fu looked at him unconvinced and said, "Then tell me which one I did."

The head of the Fu family pointed to one of the vases and said, "This must have been made by Jinhe."

Gu Jinhe was slightly surprised, because the vase that the head of the Fu family pointed to was indeed made by her.

Seeing Gu Jinhe's curiosity, Fu Huaiyuan explained, "My mother has a habit when arranging flowers. She likes to put white flowers on the side and bright flowers in the middle. She has been doing this for decades, so we can tell which one is made by my mother at a glance."

So that's how it is. Gu Jinhe took a look at her flower arrangement. It was a simple arrangement of a few bunches of lilies, roses and roses, with only three varieties of flowers in total. She didn't like things that were too complicated, even the flower arrangement was the same.

As it was getting dark, Gu Jinhe rejected Mrs. Fu's suggestion to stay for dinner.

Perhaps seeing Gu Jinhe's firm attitude and thinking that she came here to cancel the engagement, Mrs. Fu did not mention the matter again, but asked Fu Huaiyuan to send Gu Jinhe off.

Gu Jinhe did not refuse this.

At the gate of the Fu family mansion, Gu Jinhe stood beside the car. Xu Cheng and Shuhua were already waiting for her in the car.

Gu Jinhe looked up at Fu Huaiyuan, thought for a moment, then took out a palm-sized brocade box from his coat pocket and handed it over.

"I really like the hairpin you gave me last time. This is my return gift to you. I hope you don't mind."

When Fu Huaiyuan put his hand on the lid of the brocade box and was about to open it, Gu Jinhe stopped him and asked him to wait until she left before opening it.

Fu Huaiyuan: "I thought that bamboo painting was your return gift."

Gu Jinhe smiled and said, "This is just a gift for today's visit. It can't be considered a return gift."

So the things in this brocade box are the carefully prepared return gifts?

Fu Huaiyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Gu Jinhe calmly, and whispered: "You came to the Fu family today to cancel the engagement, right?"

Although it was a question, it was said in a firm tone.

Gu Jinhe also knew that this matter could not be hidden from Fu Huaiyuan. Even if she didn't say it, Mrs. Fu would mention it to him when he returned.

Gu Jinhe was just a little confused: "Why don't you agree to cancel the engagement?"

After all, she still has a time bomb like the Murong family on her body, which might explode one day and might even affect the Fu family.

She just couldn't figure it out. Could it be that the head of a family was not aware of the interests involved?

Why do you insist on this engagement?

If it were before, Gu Jinhe could still think that the Fu family wanted to marry the Gu family to maintain the resource relationship between the two parties.

But she is the blood of Murong family, there is no doubt about that. The marriage between Fu family and Gu family may not only lead to no sharing of resources, but may also bring about a catastrophe.

But even so, the Fu family still did not cancel the engagement, and even when Gu Jinhe personally came to cancel the engagement, they still refused.

Gu Jinhe couldn't understand why the Fu family insisted on doing such a thankless task?

Fu Huaiyuan looked at Gu Jinhe for a long while, and said in a deep voice: "If I didn't know your background, I might agree if you wanted to cancel the engagement, but now that I know the original intention of our engagement, I won't agree."

Gu Jinhe frowned. If she had known it would be like this, she would never have told Fu Huaiyuan about it no matter what. Because if she didn't tell him, according to the trajectory of her previous life, Fu Huaiyuan would know the truth five years later.

But by that time, it was already the day of Gu Jinhe's death.

"Have you ever thought about what consequences will it bring to the Fu family and you if you disagree?"

Fu Huaiyuan: "This is the Fu family's business, it has nothing to do with you."

Gu Jinhe frowned even more tightly. How could this have nothing to do with her?

Gu Jinhe closed her eyes, knowing that it would be impossible to get the result she wanted today.

She took one last look at Fu Huaiyuan and said calmly, "Thank you for your hospitality. Goodbye."

Fu Huaiyuan looked at the car that was gradually driving away, frowned, and said in a deep voice to a corner: "Follow it from a distance, don't get discovered, and tell me immediately if anything happens."

Only a tall and thin shadow could be seen in the dark corner, but from the voice it sounded like a young man.

He said: "Yes, I will definitely protect Miss Gu."

Fu Huaiyuan lowered his head and opened the brocade box in his hand. When he saw a small statue lying quietly inside, he was slightly surprised. Looking closely, the outline of the statue seemed to resemble him.

Not knowing what he was thinking of, Fu Huaiyuan smiled as he looked at the statue, muttering to himself, "I guess a lot of thought must have gone into this return gift, right?"

Although it somewhat resembles him, you can tell from the curvature of the paper-cut that it was cut by a beginner.

Gu Jinhe sat in the car, and with a tired look on his face, he pressed his temples and whispered to Xu Cheng, "Are there any vehicles following us along the way?"

After what happened last time, Xu Cheng would pay close attention to passing vehicles whenever he drove.

Xu Cheng: "It's safe now."

After all, they had just left the Fu family not long ago. Even if someone couldn't help but want to take action, they wouldn't be stupid enough to do so on the Fu family's territory.

But there are unexpected changes in the world, and people have thousands of thoughts in their minds.
