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

After a long time, the whole dining room was filled with the sound of a pin drop, and a solemn atmosphere lingered between Gu Jinhe and the old lady.

The old lady said in a hoarse voice: "Miao Miao, do you have to be so cruel and dig out my heart?"

"Jin He doesn't dare."

The old lady looked at Gu Jinhe and said in a deep voice: "Is there anything in this world that you dare not do?"

"Last time you came to me, you asked me if my words still counted."

"I promised you that I would let you do whatever you want, whether in the Gu family or in the capital. Have I done it?"

"You said you wanted to avenge your parents and find out the real culprit. I didn't interfere. Go ahead and investigate."

"You wanted Gu Feiwan to go to jail, so I let her go. Ye Pingting and the second girl from the Liu family teamed up to destroy you, so I kicked her out of the Gu family."

"That second girl was also expelled from the Liu family."

"Your fifth uncle has become a vegetable, and I didn't ask you about it at all."

"The entire Wu family was expelled because of you, and Wu Jingrou is still lying in bed with a broken leg."

"It was my idea to send Gu Jinyu back to his ancestral home. I knew that with him around, you two would confront each other sooner or later, so I asked him to stay away."

"Everything and every one of these, which one of them is not in accordance with your wishes?"

"At this point, what are you still dissatisfied with?"

"Do you have to say such things and poke my heart?"

Gu Jinhe listened to the old lady's words in silence, his expression calm and his eyes peaceful.

After a while, Gu Jinhe said with a cold look in his eyes, "I once told you that if you hadn't made that choice back then, many things wouldn't have happened."

"Gu Feiwan will be the eldest daughter of the Gu family that she longed to be. Ye Pingting and Uncle Wu will also be fine. Gu Jinyu will not be sent back to his ancestral home."

"Isn't it your choice that caused all of this?"

The old lady said solemnly: "But if I make another choice, you will no longer exist in this world."

"But I don't care!"

Gu Jinhe looked closely at the old lady and said word by word, "I don't care. Rather than living like this waiting to die every day, it's better for me not to exist in the first place."

"I don't have to bring bodyguards with me every time I go out. I will be attacked unexpectedly from time to time, and every bullet will hit my heart."

"Isn't there enough knife wounds and bullet holes on my body? I am lucky to be alive."

"If I am destined to live a life with a knife hanging by my neck from the moment I am born, I might as well not have given birth!"

"Snapped!"

The crisp sound startled the old butler standing at the door, who walked in quickly. When he saw the red palm print on Gu Jinhe's cheek, he frowned and exclaimed, "This, oh, I'll go get the ointment now." With that, the old butler hurried out again.

Gu Jinhe felt the burning pain on his cheek and slowly, bit by bit, suppressed all the emotions on his face.

Gu Jinhe looked at the old lady calmly and said, "Are you angry because I said what you were thinking?"

"But I still have to say that if I had another chance to start over, I would not want to be born into your lap again."

"I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore."

Gu Jinhe's words made the old lady's face turn paler.

Gu Jinhe took one last look at the old lady and said, "From now on, I will not participate in your morning and evening visits and the dinner at the end of the month."

Without waiting for the old lady's reaction, he stood up and left the dining room.

When the old butler came back with the ointment, only the old lady was left sitting there with a pale face.

The old housekeeper saw the regretful look in the old lady's eyes and couldn't help but ask, "Since you feel sorry for the young lady, why did you hit her?"

The old lady looked at her hands for a long while before she said in a hoarse voice, "You heard what she said, and every word hit me in the heart."

The old housekeeper sighed helplessly: "Then you can't hit her either."

When the old lady first received the news and knew that Gu Jinhe was coming, she happily asked someone to prepare Gu Jinhe's favorite meals, as well as fresh snacks and fruits.

It has been a long time since Gu Jinhe came to see the old lady alone. After their last conversation, the two parted on bad terms.

Even though the old lady gave Gu Jinhe a theater, Gu Jinhe did not choose to bow his head.

Today, Gu Jinhe finally came over on his own initiative and had dinner with the old lady. It should have been a happy conversation.

But somehow, the more they talked, the more solemn the atmosphere became.

And this slap completely pushed Gu Jinhe away.

This wasn't a slap in the face, it was a slap in the heart.

It's disheartening.

The old lady looked at her still numb palm, and in her rage she unknowingly used too much force.

After that slap, the old lady saw with her own eyes that Gu Jinhe's originally fair cheek quickly became red and swollen, which made the old lady feel a sharp pain in her heart.

But she has lived to this age and has been in charge of the Gu family for decades. How could she bow her head and admit her mistakes to a junior?

She moved her lips but couldn't speak.

Then he heard Gu Jinhe's cold and distant words.

She said that she would not come to visit him morning and evening anymore.

The old lady lives in seclusion all year round, and the younger generation has the opportunity to see her only during the morning and evening visits on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, and at the end of the month when she sits down with the Gu family for dinner.

But now Gu Jinhe said that she would not participate, which was to reduce the chances of the two meeting.

If the old lady didn't take the initiative to look for Gu Jinhe, it would be difficult for the two to meet.

Judging from what happened today, I'm afraid Gu Jinhe will never take the initiative to see her in his life.

When the old lady thought of what Gu Jinhe had just said, that she only had three short years left to live, her heart ached even more.

Not to mention what Gu Jinhe said at the end, that he didn't want to have anything to do with her.

What's the difference between this and not recognizing her as your grandmother?

Her eyes gradually turned red, and she looked up at the old housekeeper: "She doesn't want me anymore... She doesn't want to recognize me as her grandmother anymore."

It was only then that the old butler realized that Gu Jinhe had said these words after he left to get the ointment.

The old housekeeper sighed deeply and said comfortingly: "The eldest lady is kind and honest. She is just angry now. After a while, she will remember your kindness and will naturally stop being angry."

During the days since returning to the Gu family, the old housekeeper was not completely unaware of what Gu Jinhe had done. It was precisely because he knew this that he lamented that this child was too kind-hearted, and such a character was too rare among the children of aristocratic families.

But the old lady's next words made the old housekeeper's expression suddenly change.

The old lady closed her eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "If nothing unexpected happens, Miao Miao will only have three years left. She and I can't afford to wait or waste time."

But it is obvious that time is gradually decreasing, and they should cherish the remaining days even more.

Just now, she had attacked Gu Jinhe. The old lady looked at her hand and wished she could slap herself in the face.
