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

There were two green dumplings on the plate in front of each person. The steaming green dumplings exuded a faint scent of mugwort.

Everyone sat quietly on the chairs. After the old lady started eating, the others began to eat the green dumplings on their plates.

Although it is filled with red bean paste, it is not too sweet. Instead, it has a light fragrance, and the taste is just right when you drink a few sips of tea.

That morning, the Gu family didn't talk much. Everyone just lowered their heads in silence and ate snacks. No one said a word.

Except for the slight sound of cups being placed on the table, it can be said that today was the quietest breakfast for everyone.

After breakfast, no one stayed long. On this day every year after worshipping in the ancestral hall, the old lady would lock herself in her room. No one knew whether she was copying scriptures or meditating in there.

This time the old lady did not ask Gu Jinhe to stay. At the gate of Qinglan Courtyard, everyone in the Gu family left one by one under the watchful eyes of the old housekeeper.

Gu Jinhe was the last one to leave. She nodded slightly to the old housekeeper, then took Xu Cheng towards the Rose Courtyard.

While walking on the road, Gu Jinhe thought of something. She slowly stopped and looked at Xu Cheng, saying, "I'll give you a day off today. Do whatever you want to do."

Xu Cheng lowered his eyelids, wanting to say something but not saying it, he just said: "I'll just accompany the young lady."

Gu Jinhe looked at him and said, "On this day in previous years, you should have gone out to visit your parents' graves, right?"

"I won't go out. Besides, this is Gu's house. Who would hurt me here?"

Seeing that Xu Cheng still didn't speak, Gu Jinhe frowned slightly and said, "This is filial piety. You can't delay it because of me. Go ahead and come back before dark."

In this way, Xu Cheng's tense body gradually relaxed. He bowed slightly to Gu Jinhe: "Thank you, Miss."

Looking at Xu Cheng's back, Gu Jinhe frowned. It seemed that he had lost a lot of weight during this period of time.

After Xu Cheng left, Gu Jinhe walked back alone, and met an unexpected person halfway, or rather, someone who had been expected.

Looking at Gu Jinyu who seemed to have been waiting here for a while, Gu Jinhe stopped and looked at him with slightly narrowed eyes.

Gu Jinyu frowned and said, "You don't seem surprised?"

Gu Jinhe: "What's so surprising? This is Gu's residence, not my Rose Courtyard. It's not surprising to meet you here."

Gu Jinyu frowned even more tightly: "What if I say I am waiting for you here?"

"You are waiting for me here, what's the matter?" Gu Jinhe asked directly, as if she didn't want to say any more nonsense to him.

A gloom flashed across Gu Jinyu's eyes, and his expression slowly became gloomy. He looked at Gu Jinhe's cold eyebrows and suddenly burst into laughter.

Gu Jinhe looked at him silently without saying a word.

After a few seconds, Gu Jinyu put away the smile on his face, looked at Gu Jinhe and said coldly: "You have ruined my family, I will get back at you sooner or later!"

Hearing this, Gu Jinhe frowned and asked in confusion: "The family is broken up? People are dead?"

"If the home you're referring to is Yikun Courtyard, then it's not a ruined family. Your quality of life hasn't declined. You're still the fourth young master of the Gu family, admired by everyone outside. The Gu family spends countless amounts of money on you every year, and you've never been restrained."

"As for the death of people, that's even more nonsense. So far, the only people who have passed away in the Gu family are my parents. Your parents and sister are still alive. If you say that the family is broken up, it seems more appropriate for me to say it."

Gu Jinyu said in a deep voice: "You are making up stories! If it weren't for you, how could my sister have gotten in? How could she have ever suffered such an injustice since she was a child?!"

"What a joke!" Gu Jinhe snorted coldly: "Shouldn't you know better than me why she went in?"

"Why? Is it true that only others can be wronged in this world? Does she, Gu Feiwan, have to be pampered and treated like her eldest daughter?"

Seeing Gu Jinyu's ugly expression, Gu Jinhe said mercilessly: "You should change your nepotism thinking. Even if Gu Feiwan is your biological sister, you should not protect her. Wrong is wrong. No one can escape the punishment of the law, not even her."

Before Gu Jinyu could open his mouth to refute, Gu Jinhe immediately continued: "She was able to go in thanks to you and your mother. If you hadn't reminded me of this, I wouldn't have let her go in so quickly. You're intercepting me halfway now, you're really like your mother."

Just as unreasonable and stupid.

When Gu Jinyu heard the word "mother", his face became even uglier and he looked at Gu Jinhe with a gloomy look.

Gu Jinyu clenched his fists as if he was holding back something, and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't mention my mother, you don't deserve it!"

Gu Jinhe looked at his angry expression and said with a slightly curved lip, "It was not my idea for your parents to divorce. You didn't dare to go to the old lady, but you stopped me here. You are still the same as before, and you haven't changed at all."

Gu Jinyu's eyes gradually began to turn red. He would never forget that late night in the hall when he knelt in front of the Gu family and begged them to let his mother go and give her a chance.

But they looked at the mother and son with pity or indifference, looking down at their painful cries, and no one spoke to plead for the mother.

Gu Jinhe seemed to feel that the excitement was not enough. She curled her lips and said, "You didn't go to find your father but came to find me. I heard that Uncle Wu seldom came back recently. Don't you want to know what he has been doing?"

Gu Jinyu's heart sank, and his brows furrowed. "What are you going to say, or do you know something?"

Gu Jinhe shook his head gently: "I don't know anything. I'm sure you know that I haven't been out of the yard for a while, but Uncle Wu hasn't been back for a week. If today wasn't Qingming Festival, I'm afraid he wouldn't have come back last night, right?"

He wanted to cause trouble for Gu Jinhe, but he didn't expect that he would be controlled by her words in the end.

Gu Jinyu frowned fiercely. He never paid much attention to his father's affairs. In the past, his mother took care of his father's affairs.

But now my mother has left the Gu family, and there are only two owners left in Yikun Courtyard: Gu Chenliang and Gu Jinyu.

His father hadn't come back for several days. He had asked about it before, but his father just avoided the question and said nothing.

In the decades that my mother was alive, my father rarely stayed out all night.

But now that my mother is not around, my father rarely even comes home.

Anyone would have doubts.

But this person happened to be his father. He didn't want to doubt it, but he was also afraid to know the truth. He was even more worried that his father had cheated on him.

Looking at Gu Jinyu's ever-changing expression, Gu Jinhe sighed inwardly. Just a few words could make him so confused. It seemed that he could not be counted on.
