Gu Jinhe was a little surprised to hear such an explanation. She looked at Qin Xu's profile and saw his slightly curled eyelashes trembling slightly and his jaw lines gradually stiffening.

"Thank you for your kindness, but why are you helping me?"

Gu Jinhe thought about it and realized that she and Qin Xulian had only met three times today and they spoke even less frequently. Why would he help her so much?

"If I say it's because of the relationship between our fathers, would you believe it?" Qin Xu looked at Gu Jinhe and asked with a raised eyebrow.

Gu Jinhe looked at him without saying anything. Because of the engagement between her and Fu Huaiyuan in her previous life, she not only refused to be interested in Fu Huaiyuan, but also kept her distance from his friends.

Qin Xu was the first to be hit.

So she really couldn't say that she knew Qin Xu very well.

Knowing that Gu Jinhe would not believe this reason, Qin Xu did not explain further.

He placed the selected game in front of Gu Jinhe: "Have you played Super Mario?"

Gu Jinhe looked at the game in front of him, then looked up at Qin Xu in disbelief.

Are you sure you want to play this game?

Qin Xu kept looking at her with a smile, a smile from the heart on his handsome face: "I have liked playing this since I was a child, but my sister thinks playing games is a waste of time, so I usually play alone. Now that you are here, why don't you play a few games with me?"

after an hour.

Gu Jinhe put down the game controller and said with some dissatisfaction on his face: "I should have known not to play with you. You have so many years of gaming experience, and I will definitely be the loser."

"The guest should follow the host's wishes..." Qin Xu said casually.

Gu Jinhe stood up: "It's getting late, the banquet should start, let's go upstairs."

"It seems like it's about time. Okay, let's go out." Qin Xu put away the game controller and took Gu Jinhe out of the game room.

When night fell, the three returned to the hall and saw that the atmosphere was warm and harmonious. Under the sparkling crystal chandelier lights, everyone was drinking and chatting. There was a wide variety of snacks, laughter and joyful chatter. As soon as they entered the hall, they could smell the aroma of wine and it was very lively.

The reappearance of Gu Jinhe also made the hall silent for a moment. Gu Jinhe, wearing a cheongsam, seemed like an oriental beauty walking out of an ancient painting, which made people amazed and sigh that there is such a beauty in the world.

Gu Jinhe was already accustomed to such scenes. She looked around the hall and did not see the head of the Qin family and Madam Qin, and even Qin Yi was nowhere to be seen.

"What do you want to drink? I'll get it for you. Do you know how to drink? How about I get you a glass of juice?" Qin Xu said.

Gu Jinhe nodded slightly, and Qin Xu left temporarily to go to the banquet.

Gu Jinhe tilted his head and whispered to Xu Cheng, "Is there any news from the fifth room?"

Xu Cheng knew who Gu Jinhe was asking about, and whispered back, "The people I arranged saw the car parked in front of the Liu family."

Liu family?

Gu Jinhe frowned slightly. She no longer had the bracelet to frame her in this life, and she didn't know what means Ye Pingting would come up with to make her take the blame.

But if possible, Gu Jinhe wanted to save the life of the young lady from the Liu family.

After all, seeing that photo of a woman with such a bright and brilliant smile, she felt sorry in her previous life that such a woman died at such a young age.

If she had the chance in this life, she would like to get in touch with Miss Liu, whose fate had taken many twists and turns.

But in the hall, Gu Jinhe did not see Miss Liu.

"Huaiyuan, I haven't seen you for a while. What have you been busy with recently?"

At this time, the voice of the head of the Qin family came from behind.

Gu Jinhe lowered her eyes slightly, but quickly calmed herself down and turned to look at the person who was slowly walking towards her.

Fu Huaiyuan was wearing a black suit today, which made him look more upright. His handsome features were serious, yet he was quickly rushing towards her with a strong and aggressive aura.

Gu Jinhe took a step back slightly with some discomfort, and the next moment Fu Huaiyuan suddenly raised his eyes and looked at her accurately.

Meeting his gaze, Gu Jinhe saw a hint of coldness in his eyes. She paused and took another step back.

For some reason, ever since Fu Huaiyuan saved her in the abandoned warehouse, whenever Gu Jinhe thought of that figure, it would overlap with the vague figure she saw before she died in her previous life.

This made her feel a little uncomfortable, so when she saw Fu Huaiyuan again, she subconsciously wanted to escape.

Fu Huaiyuan looked Gu Jinhe up and down, his eyes behind the glasses flickered slightly, and he said to the head of the Qin family, "A while ago, a kitten at home was lost. When we found it, we found that one of its legs was injured. It was playing outside and was bitten by a snake or insect."

Gu Jinhe: “…”

She didn’t know if she had misunderstood, but she felt like she was being implied.

Patriarch Qin smiled and said, "I didn't expect Huaiyuan to be such a loving person. How is the kitten now?"

Fu Huaiyuan said in a neither loud nor low voice, with an unmistakable tone of voice: "It looks like he has recovered well, and he is out running wild in high spirits."

At this time, Madam Qin saw Gu Jinhe standing not far away and waved her over: "Jinhe, come here and let me introduce someone to you."

Gu Jinhe looked at Fu Huaiyuan, but couldn't tell anything from his expressionless face. She slowly walked to Mrs. Qin.

Madam Qin held her hand and said to Fu Huaiyuan, "This is the eldest daughter of the Gu family, Gu Jinhe. Speaking of this, I remembered something. Did Huaiyuan hold Jinhe in his arms when he was a child?"

Madam Qin looked at the head of the Qin family with some uncertainty.

After the Qin family head frowned and pondered for a moment, he suddenly realized: "Did she take Huaiyuan to her birthday party when Jinhe was a child?"

"Yes! Isn't that right?" Madam Qin clapped her hands and laughed, "Huaiyuan was only seven or eight years old at the time. He didn't dare to move after being hugged by Jinhe. Haha."

Listening to the conversation between Patriarch Qin and Madam Qin, Gu Jinhe suddenly felt her face turn red.

She didn't remember anything about her childhood, so how could she have imagined that she hugged Fu Huaiyuan at her first birthday party when she was a child?

Just when Gu Jinhe didn't know what to say, Fu Huaiyuan said, "I met Miss Gu several times some time ago."

Madam Qin looked at Gu Jinhe in surprise: "Have you met before?"

Gu Jinhe nodded slightly: "The last time we met was at Canaan Temple."

Mentioning Canaan Temple reminded people of Gu Jinhe's kidnapping, so Mrs. Qin stopped talking about this topic.

"Hey, where is that kid Qin Xu? Isn't he with you?" Mrs. Qin said.

Gu Jinhe turned her head to look at the drinks table and saw Qin Xu coming over with juice. She said to Madam Qin, "He went to get the juice for me."

At this time, Mrs. Qin had already seen Qin Xu coming over. She smiled and asked Gu Jinhe: "Did he take you to play games?"
