The second master of the Fu family said, "I will triple the original compensation, niece Jinhe, what do you think?"

Gu Jinhe curved his lips and said, "I can forgive what Madam Fu said."

But he never mentioned forgiving Wu Jingrou for what she had done.

The second master of the Fu family tried to persuade Gu Jinhe twice but Gu Jinhe didn't agree, so he knew that this matter would not be so easy to resolve.

The second master of the Fu family said, "Niece Jinhe, you might as well tell me directly what you want in order to forgive my wife."

Since coming here, Gu Jinhe has called him Uncle Fu Er, but calls Wu Jingrou Mrs. Fu Er.

They are obviously husband and wife, but in Gu Jinhe's eyes, they seem to be two unrelated people.

Gu Jinhe placed his hands on his knees, his back straight, and a slight smile on the corners of his mouth, as if this meeting was not for an attack.

In her eyes, this seemed to be just an ordinary meeting.

Gu Jinhe said calmly: "Since Uncle Fu Er said so, I would also like to ask Madam Fu Er a question."

Wu Jingrou didn't expect Gu Jinhe to suddenly talk to her. She couldn't help but look up at Gu Jinhe who was sitting on the chair and turned to look at her.

Gu Jinhe said calmly, "How did I offend you? Why do you want to break my leg?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the hall became visibly solemn. The elders were still able to control their emotions, but among the younger generations, Gu Jinhong was the most obvious. His expression suddenly turned cold and he looked at Wu Jingrou with a scrutinizing gaze.

Gu Jinkuan and Gu Jinrong also turned their eyes to Wu Jingrou, wanting to hear her explanation.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on her, Wu Jingrou couldn't help but turn her gaze to the second master of the Fu family who was sitting next to her.

She was a little nervous and wanted to hold the hand of the second master of the Fu family, but thinking that they were now in the Gu family, she held back.

But her eyes still looked at the second master of the Fu family as if asking for help.

The second master of the Fu family glanced at Wu Jingrou and said, "I'm asking you a question, don't you understand?"

Of course I understand. I’m not a three-year-old child who can’t understand what people are saying.

When Wu Jingrou saw this, she knew that the second master of the Fu family would not speak for her, and she remained silent for a while.

When everyone's patience was about to run out, he finally spoke.

She looked at Gu Jinhe, gritted her teeth and remained calm, "I think Miss Gu intervened when the Wu family was in turmoil. Without her help, that Bai... Wu Lu would never have been able to sit on the position of the head of the Wu family so easily."

Gu Jinhe's lips curved slightly: "Since Madam Fu Er thinks that I interfered in the selection of the Wu family's patriarch, may I ask, do you think there is any evidence?"

Wu Jingrou: "Of course I have evidence."

Gu Jinhe looked at her and asked calmly, "What evidence?"

Wu Jingrou glanced at the calm Second Master of the Fu Family, and said with a determined heart, "It was Huaiyuan. Because of the engagement between you and Huaiyuan, Huaiyuan helped Wu Lu. Without Huaiyuan's help, he would never have been able to sit on the position of the head of the Wu Family so easily."

With her around, how could she allow Wu Lu, that ungrateful bastard, to take the position of the head of her Wu family?

Don't even think about it. As long as she's around, she'll never let such a thing happen.

Gu Jinhe looked at her: "Actually, I've always been curious. No one knows about this, so how do you know about it, Madam Fu?"

Wu Jingrou paused, her eyes evasive as she said, "I also found out by accident. As for how I found out, I have forgotten."

"What a forgetful one."

Gu Jinhe curved his lips and said, "Since you have forgotten who told you, why don't you just forget more and forget this matter completely to save yourself the trouble."

Wu Jingrou couldn't help but look a little ugly. When she learned the news, she wanted to kill Gu Jinhe.

And because Fu Huaiyuan also helped, she developed a grudge against him.

I feel that Fu Huaiyuan would rather help an outsider than his own brother, and he must have been deceived by Gu Jinhe's sweet words.

Everyone in the Gu family in the hall looked at the two of them quietly. No one interrupted. Even if Gu Jinhong wanted to say something, he held it back.

He knew that this was not the right occasion for him to speak, and he couldn't interrupt Gu Jinhe, because the second master of the Fu family came today to solve the stupid thing that Wu Jingrou had done.

The Fu family must give Gu Jinhe an explanation for this matter, otherwise the many years of friendship between the Gu and Fu families may be rifted because of Wu Jingrou's actions.

In the silent hall, everyone heard Wu Jingrou say, "I just want justice for my son. Is that wrong?"

"You're not wrong." Gu Jinhe said lightly.

Wu Jingrou was stunned. She looked up at Gu Jinhe, as if she had not expected that Gu Jinhe not only did not refute her words, but instead agreed with her.

Then Gu Jinhe continued, "Parents always have far-reaching plans for their children. You did nothing wrong."

"But you are wrong to involve me for the sake of your son."

"Mrs. Fu is the daughter of the Wu family, your son is the grandson of the Wu family, and Wu Lu is also the grandson of the Wu family. This is a matter between you two. Why do you want to involve me?"

"If you don't involve me, you can do whatever you want, whether you want to take away Wu Lu's position as the head of the family or kill him, it's all your business."

"I really don't understand why Madam Fu came to see me?"

"I don't think I have the ability to decide who is in charge of a family."

"I am flattered by the compliment that Madam Fu gave me."

With every word Gu Jinhe spoke, Wu Jingrou's face turned paler.

The curve of Gu Jinhe's lips faded, and she looked at Wu Jingrou: "So who told you that Wu Lu was able to sit on the position of the head of the Wu family because of me and Fu Huaiyuan's involvement behind the scenes?"

Wu Jingrou's face was ugly and pale. She almost subconsciously turned her head to look at the second master of the Fu family, with panic and pleading in her eyes, hoping that he could say a few words for her.

The second master of the Fu family glanced at her, then turned his gaze to Gu Jinhe and said, "My wife is straightforward and doesn't beat around the bush. She did something to hurt Jinhe's niece for Huaijing, it was her fault."

"Niece Jinhe, if you have anything to say, just say it. I still say the same thing. As long as I can do it, I will do it without hesitation."

Gu Jinhe looked at Wu Jingrou and said calmly, "Mrs. Fu Er hasn't answered my question yet."

"Why did you break my legs?"

Wu Jingrou was stunned for a moment, then quickly looked up at the second master of the Fu family, then lowered her head and said, "I was so angry at the time that I said such words. I hope Miss Gu doesn't mind."
