This development made Murong Qingxuan so disappointed that he could no longer maintain the smile that had returned to his face.

Of course, Gu Jinhe would not tell Murong Qingxuan that it was not the Gu family who found her in the first place that allowed her to return to the Gu family.

The heavy rain outside was hitting the pavilion, making a rustling sound. Some rain was blown in by the wind and fell on the stone table. The raindrops slowly soaked the stone table.

There were also drops of rain falling on the back of Gu Jinhe's hand, causing tiny splashes of water. She lowered her eyelids, with a hint of coldness in her eyes: "Did you come to Jiangcheng to find me just to say this?"

Murong Qingxuan: "I said this just to prove one thing. Now that you know it, let's get to the point."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the bodyguards standing outside immediately surrounded the pavilion, ensuring that no one could break out from between them.

Shuhua and Shumo immediately looked outside vigilantly, while keeping their bodies tense and alert.

Murong Qingxuan glanced at them and turned away. He didn't take the two little girls seriously.

Even though she knew she was surrounded, Gu Jinhe's expression did not change at all. She looked at Murong Qingxuan: "Before, it was you who asked me what I wanted to say, but in the end, you were the one who said a lot of things."

Gu Jinhe's eyebrows turned cold: "So, what do you want to say?"

Murong Qingxuan suddenly burst into laughter. He seemed happy to finally see Gu Jinhe showing different emotions.

After laughing, Murong Qingxuan said, "I'm here just to warn you not to do unnecessary things. It won't do any good to you or the people around you."

Gu Jinhe asked in a deep voice: "Are you threatening me?"

Murong Qingxuan smiled: "You may think so."

Gu Jinhe said coldly: "Have you ever thought of another possibility?"

Murong Qingxuan's men have surrounded this place. Without Gu Jinhe's bodyguards around, it is impossible for her to escape.

The confidence that everything was in his own hands made Murong Qingxuan interested in listening to Gu Jinhe's words, so he put on an attitude of listening attentively.

Gu Jinhe's tone became colder and colder: "You are now 28 years old, but I am not yet. If I die during this period, you will have no chance to inherit the Murong family."

Hearing this, Murong Qingxuan's expression instantly turned cold, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes: "You dare!"

Gu Jinhe: "Since you have threatened me, there is nothing I dare not do. As long as I die before the age of 28, you will lose everything you have now."

Murong Qingxuan's face turned pale and he said coldly: "You deserve to die!"

Gu Jinhe suddenly chuckled: "Everyone will die eventually, but I can't die in your hands."

Murong Qingxuan said arrogantly: "That may not be the case. When you were born, my grandfather had already arranged everything for me."

"You didn't grow up in the Gu family. You don't have deep feelings for the Gu family. In turn, they don't have deep feelings for you either. So even if you die, they may be sad for a while, but they will never avenge you."

"Just like your grandmother, the former eldest daughter of the Xie family and the previous ruler of the Gu family. She was such a capable person, but she didn't avenge your grandfather when he died, and she still didn't avenge your parents when they died."

"So, even if you die, your grandma won't avenge you."

Murong Qingxuan's words were like a thorn piercing Gu Jinhe's heart. She narrowed her eyes calmly and said in a deep voice: "So what? If I die now, you will have nothing. Compared to this, it seems that only your loss is the biggest."

Murong Qingxuan: "I don't want to kill you, at least not now, so you have to live well, otherwise if you really die, I will skin everyone around you alive!"

His eyes swept over the calligraphy, paintings and ink behind Gu Jinhe, the meaning was self-evident.

Shuhua glared at him fiercely, snorted coldly and turned his eyes away.

Gu Jinhe: "It's useless to threaten me with the people around me. I'm already dead, how can I take care of my affairs after death?"

"Really?" Murong Qingxuan didn't comment. The next second he pulled out a pistol from his waist, pointing the muzzle at the calligraphy and painting. Then he looked at Gu Jinhe and smiled coldly: "Can I control it now?"

Gu Jinhe's face immediately darkened, and she said expressionlessly: "I'll count to three. If you don't put down the gun, I promise you will regret it."

Facing Gu Jinhe's threat, Murong Qingxuan frowned. He was a little worried. What if Gu Jinhe was serious and didn't take his life seriously, or deliberately retaliated against him? That would mean he had really grasped his weak spot.

Then all the efforts over the years will be wasted.

Murong Qingxuan gritted his teeth fiercely, his eyes full of ferociousness.

"One." Gu Jinhe said coldly.

"two."

Finally, when Gu Jinhe was about to count to three, Murong Qingxuan put down the gun with a dark face.

Seeing him put down the gun, Chen Chen, who was standing beside him, slowly calmed down his heart that was about to jump out of his throat.

He didn't expect that they were talking peacefully, but suddenly someone would start shooting and killing someone because of a disagreement.

Chen Chen looked at Shuhua who stood still under the gun and admired her in his heart. Why didn't he realize when they first met that the little girl who was making tea at the dining table had such a side that was not afraid of the gun.

If it were him, he would have turned pale with fright.

The reason why Shuhua was not afraid was because she knew that the eldest lady would not let her die, and even if she died, the eldest lady would definitely avenge her.

Therefore, Shuhua was not afraid of death. Instead, she was worried about Gu Jinhe's safety.

She had also heard about the inheritance mechanism of the Murong family. When she knew that Gu Jinhe was of the Murong family's bloodline, the first thing she thought of was the inheritance mechanism of the Qing generation.

At first, I thought that as long as it was not a direct branch, it would be fine if it was a side branch.

But Murong Qingxuan was sitting here at this moment, shattering her hopes.

After Murong Qingxuan put down his gun, his face turned ugly for a moment. He looked at Gu Jinhe and sneered, "This is the first time I've been threatened. Very good, I'll wait for the day when you die in my hands, and then I'll send everyone around you down one by one to accompany you!"

Gu Jinhe said calmly: "I hate being threatened the most. If I'm in a bad mood one day and suddenly want to die, I will send someone to tell you in advance."

"So that you have time to mourn me. Before I die, I will tell grandma to see with her own eyes how the direct branch of the Murong family gives up the power of the head of the family to the side branch."

damn it!

Murong Qingxuan had never hated the Murong family's inheritance system so much before.

Seeing Murong Qingxuan's frustrated expression, Gu Jinhe said calmly, "Now that you have finished speaking, it's my turn to speak."

Murong Qingxuan looked at Gu Jinhe and frowned: "What do you want to say?"
