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

Murong Qingxuan didn't seem surprised to hear that. He chuckled and said, "I know that you can't hide Wang Yang's affairs from you. You deliberately leaked the news of your coming to Jiangcheng to him in order to lure me out."

Murong Qingxuan was not surprised by Gu Jinhe's words, but that didn't mean the others in the pavilion were not surprised.

First of all, Shuhua and Shumo only then realized why Gu Jinhe had stayed in Jiangcheng for such a long time. It turned out that it was just to wait for Murong Qingxuan.

Chen Chen's expression gradually became serious. He looked at the two people sitting in the pavilion, his expression changing constantly.

Murong Qingxuan looked at Gu Jinhe, with a hint of gentleness between his brows. He asked, "I'm here now, what do you want to say?"

Gu Jinhe lowered her eyelids and suddenly chuckled. She raised her eyes again and looked at Murong Qingxuan with a faint smile on her lips: "Mr. Murong seems very confident. I am curious whether your confidence comes from yourself or those people outside?"

Murong Qingxuan glanced at the bodyguards standing in a row outside and said with a smile, "Half and half."

Then he said with a puzzled look on his face, "Weren't you always accompanied by bodyguards when you went out before? Why didn't I see any today?"

Gu Jinhe kept smiling as he said, "If they were here, I wouldn't be able to see you today, right?"

Shuhua and Shumo then understood why Gu Jinhe asked all the bodyguards to follow the Second Young Master when he went up the mountain. It turned out that it was to lure Murong Qingxuan to show up.

Gu Jinhe continued, "I have been traveling around Jiangcheng for a while, but you never showed up. I knew what you were worried about, so I asked the bodyguard to leave. Sure enough, without the bodyguard, this heavy rain did not stop you."

Even though his thoughts were spoken, Murong Qingxuan's expression did not change at all. His gentleness remained, but his tone was slightly deeper when he spoke: "You are indeed different from the rumors."

From the meaning of his words, it seemed that he came here today just to verify this fact, but several people in this pavilion knew that this was not the case.

Gu Jinhe looked at the gentle expression on his face and said slowly: "No matter how advanced a person's disguise is, it cannot cover up the false facts."

"Do you know what I thought when I first saw you at the Penglai Art Exhibition?"

"What do you think?" Murong Qingxuan asked with some interest.

"I was thinking at the time, this person is so hypocritical, he probably has never seen what a truly gentle person looks like."

This disguised gentleness is so hypocritical that one can see it at a glance.

"Your deliberate gentleness and courtesy are nothing but loose sand in front of a true gentleman, just like a mottled wall with dust falling from it, which is vulnerable to attack."

Being denied and criticized in person, Murong Qingxuan did not show any anger. Instead, the smile on his face gradually widened. He laughed and said, "Do you know who you sound like when you talk?"

He gave the answer without waiting for Gu Jinhe to speak.

"You are very much like my father. He has been critical of me since I can remember. He has always denied me and everything about me. He even deliberately suppressed me when I was an adult."

Murong Qingxuan told his story in detail as if he was talking to someone close to him.

"At that time, I still had expectations for him, hoping that one day I would hear words of praise from him and feel that I was his pride."

"But one day, I saw a painting in his study, and I knew that I would never get his recognition and affirmation in this life. On the contrary, he hated me and wished I would die."

"At that moment, I suddenly felt relieved. It was completely unnecessary to expect a false father-son relationship from the beginning. At that moment, I let go of my admiration for him."

"Just as he did with me, look at him with a critical eye, picking out the right and wrong in his behavior."

"In fact, I rarely saw him after I turned eighteen. He locked himself in the house and deliberately distanced himself from us. He didn't communicate with us or meet with us. He handed all family affairs to his confidants to handle."

"He never thought that I would be an adult by then and would need him to be around to teach me."

"But when I saw the painting, I knew he did it on purpose. He wanted to keep me away from the family business and the core area of ​​the family."

"In fact, there is one thing I admire about my father. He has a good command over his subordinates. They are all loyal to him. Even my grandfather couldn't do this."

Gu Jinhe listened silently to Murong Qingxuan's sudden outburst. These words must have been hammered into his mind many times.

Finally, today, on this stormy afternoon, I narrated it in front of her.

Murong Qingxuan stopped talking and looked at Gu Jinhe opposite him. Seeing her calm expression, he was silent for a while, then suddenly turned his head to look at Chen Chen.

Said: "You said at the beginning that I look like her, do you still think so now?"

Chen Chen looked at Murong Qingxuan as if he was a madman. In this short period of time, he figured out everything. He had said before that he would come to Jiangcheng to do some work, but in fact, he wanted to see Gu Jinhe.

Murong Qingxuan's words just now left him confused for a moment. On the one hand, his words did not sound like those spoken to a friend, because he had never heard these from Murong Qingxuan before.

I never knew that Murong Qingxuan actually harbored resentment towards his own father.

But Gu Jinhe was neither a friend nor an acquaintance, and this was probably only their third meeting.

But why would he reveal his true feelings in front of her?

Murong Qingxuan usually behaves gently and politely, and is very courteous in his dealings with others, but he never speaks such intimate words to others.

Yes, close, even if this was saying how cold and critical his father was towards him.

But there is no doubt that if Chen Chen was sitting opposite him, Murong Qingxuan would never say such words to him.

This is what Chen Chen was puzzled about. He looked at Murong Qingxuan as if he didn't know him and was looking at him as if he was a madman.

After hearing Murong Qingxuan's words, Chen Chen also remembered what he said at the Penglai Art Exhibition.

It was because of his stubbornness that Murong Qingxuan came over and allowed him to meet Gu Jinhe.

Just to let him come and see, Chen Chen felt that Gu Jinhe was somewhat similar to him.

But when he heard Murong Qingxuan's question again today, Chen Chen had a very strange feeling in his heart for some reason. His heart sank and he didn't speak for a long time.

However, Murong Qingxuan seemed to be unable to wait for him to speak, and would not let him go, keeping his eyes on him.
