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

If Yang Xiu didn't say it, no one would be able to tell that she was already fifty years old.

Gu Jinhe stood up and took the invitation with both hands, saying calmly: "If there is nothing urgent, I will definitely go."

Yang Xiu looked at her seriously and said, "No, you must come."

"I'm holding this birthday party because of you."

Gu Jinhe frowned slightly. In her previous life, she had never heard that there was such an aunt in the Yang family, so it was even more impossible for them to hold this birthday party.

A lot of things have changed in this life. Even Yang Xiu, who had never left the house, can now push his wheelchair out.

And there will also be a 50th birthday party.

Maybe it was just as Yang Xiu said, she wanted to hold this banquet because of Gu Jinhe.

But the first thought in Gu Jinhe’s mind was that he didn’t want to go.

After this incident, Gu Jinhe was not planning to have any contact with Yang Xiu anymore.

This contact is just like the first time we met, and I can't help but feel wary.

Gu Jinhe had never felt such vigilance in others.

So Gu Jinhe decided to have no more contact with Yang Xiu.

But it seemed as if Yang Xiu knew what she was thinking, and he first told her that the Yang family wanted to form an alliance with the Gu family.

This matter was rejected by Gu Jinhe.

Afterwards, he suggested that Gu Jinhe must go to the Yang family in person to attend Yang Xiu's birthday party.

If Gu Jinhe refused again this time, it would become too obvious that he didn't want to have any contact with her again.

Yang Xiu's words were so frank that Gu Jinhe had no reason to refuse.

Gu Jinhe slightly curved her lips, but there was no smile in her eyes. She said softly, "Since Aunt Xiuxiu held this birthday party because of me, I have to go."

Yang Xiu smiled and said, "I'll be waiting for you at the Yang family."

Yang Xiu did not stay for dinner. She seemed to know Gu Jinhe's inner resistance, so she left as soon as she finished speaking.

Gu Jinhe sent her to the gate of the Rose Courtyard and never took another step out.

It was not until he saw Yang Xiu's figure disappear around the corner that Gu Jinhe's expression suddenly turned cold.

Shuhua and Shumo came behind Gu Jinhe only after seeing Yang Xiu leave.

The last time Yang Xiu came, he didn't like to have anyone in the living room. It was the same today. He didn't leave any paintings or calligraphy around.

Shu Mo said, "Miss, we're going to have lunch soon."

Gu Jinhe lowered his eyelids and said in a deep voice: "I'm going to the old lady's place, so I won't be back for lunch."

Shuhua and Shumo looked at each other. Gu Jinhe hadn't visited the old lady for a long time.

When I think about it carefully, it seems like it has been more than a year.

This time, I was a little surprised to hear that Gu Jinhe was going to see the old lady.

But of course they would be happy if they could get along well with the old lady.

After all, the old lady of the Gu family has the final say, and her words are orders.

Even Gu Chenxiang, the person in power of this generation, could not easily refute it.

When Gu Jinhe arrived at Qinglan Courtyard, perhaps she had received the news in advance. The old housekeeper was standing at the door of Qinglan Courtyard, waiting for her with a kind face.

Gu Jinhe looked at the increasingly aged old housekeeper and whispered, "It's going to get cold soon. Don't pick me up at the door anymore. It's just a short distance away. I know the way."

The old housekeeper's smile deepened. As he walked toward the courtyard, he said, "This is the rule. We must abide by it."

Gu Jinhe didn't understand why the old housekeeper was so stubborn in sticking to this rule, because she knew that even when her second uncle came, the old housekeeper rarely waited at the door.

Gu Jinhe glanced at the large tank for raising carps in the yard. The carps inside were swimming happily, as if the fish were the only ones without worries.

The old lady was sitting in the dining room waiting for her. When she saw her coming, she had the food served.

Gu Jinhe sat down aside and watched the meals being served one by one. The old butler waved his hand and asked everyone in the dining room to leave. He stood guard at the door.

This is because he knew that Gu Jinhe came here because he had something to say.

The old lady personally scooped a bowl of soup and placed it next to Gu Jinhe, saying, "Did the girl from the Yang family say something to ask you to come to me after she left?"

Gu Jinhe briefly said Yang Xiu's words in a low voice.

When the old lady heard that Yang Xiu wanted Yang Qiao and Gu Jinkuan to marry, she snorted coldly.

His tone was serious and cold: "She won't even think about it."

Gu Jinhe whispered: "Although I rejected her, but now that she has said it, I must take action."

The old lady said coldly: "With me here, this marriage is impossible. You just said that she is going to hold a birthday party on the second day of next month?"

Gu Jinhe: "Yes, she just gave me the invitation and said that she was holding this birthday party because of me."

The old lady narrowed her eyes slightly: "Since she came to invite you personally, you must go."

Gu Jinhe curled his lips slightly: "I know, I have to go."

The old lady used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish and put it in Gu Jinhe's bowl, saying, "Let's not talk about her anymore. Let's eat. The fish will get fishy when it gets cold."

Gu Jinhe picked up the bowl and chopsticks and ate in silence.

The old lady tilted her head and stared at Gu Jinhe for a long time without saying anything. She didn't move her chopsticks or eat, but just looked at Gu Jinhe.

Under such a gaze, Gu Jinhe simply ate two bites, drank the soup, and put down his bowl and chopsticks.

The old lady frowned slightly: "You're not going to eat anymore, just this little bit?"

Gu Jinhe: "I ate a little too much this morning. I'm not too hungry now, so I didn't eat much."

The old lady's brows were still furrowed. She glanced at the old butler outside the door. The old butler waved to someone, and when the person came closer, he whispered a few words, and the person left.

After a while, the unfinished food on the table was removed and replaced with fresh fruit snacks.

The old lady personally picked up a piece of dessert and placed it on the plate in front of Gu Jinhe, and then poured some tea to help digestion.

With a look of emotion on his face, he said, "You haven't come to see me for a long time, and we haven't sat down and had a good chat like this for a long time."

"If that girl from the Yang family hadn't come over, would you have planned to never talk to grandma again for the rest of your life?"

Gu Jinhe lowered his eyes and glanced at the crystal clear flower-shaped desserts on the plate, with a cold and distant look between his eyebrows.

"In the old lady's eyes, how long is my life?"

"Ten years or five years, or even shorter."

"Actually, if you really count, I will be 25 after this year, so I still have three years left."

Gu Jinhe raised his eyes to look at the old lady and said calmly: "In the eyes of the old lady, my whole life only has three short years left."

"I can still do it without talking to you for three years."

The old lady's expression grew colder as Gu Jinhe spoke.
