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

Hearing what Second Aunt said, Gu Jinhe's heart moved. She looked up at Second Aunt and whispered, "You said that the Gu family owed me?"

Second Aunt nodded firmly: "Yes, the Gu family owes you, so no matter what you ask for, we will try our best to satisfy you. As long as you don't do anything that is against the will of heaven and earth, no one in this capital can stop you."

As the mistress of the Gu family, she had enough confidence to say such words.

The third and fourth aunts stood behind the second aunt and nodded to Gu Jinhe, agreeing with what she said.

Gu Jinhe shook his head gently: "The Gu family never owes me anything, never."

Second Aunt held Gu Jinhe's hand tightly and whispered, "How can I not owe her? You should have grown up in the Gu family. You should be the apple of the Gu family's eye and the proud daughter of heaven among the children of the Beijing family. Everyone should look up to you."

"But we lost you, and it took us twenty years to find you. We wanted to compensate you and treat you well, but we were helpless... Twenty years of emptiness."

"What we lack is not only time, but also memory. We don't know how to treat you well."

"So we can only give you the things we think are good, such as gold and silver jewelry, jade bracelets, real estate deeds, and whatever we have."

"We just want to compensate you and tell you that you are the eldest daughter of the Gu family, and this will never change."

Gu Jinhe felt sad. She moved the corners of her lips and wanted to say something, but she found that she didn't know what she should say.

What did she say? She said she was not the eldest daughter of the Gu family and that she did not deserve such kindness.

But the elders of the Gu family knew about this when she was born, but even so, they still wanted to treat her well.

This natural care and love from elders to younger ones gradually brought a hint of warmth to Gu Jinhe's gradually cold heart.

The third and fourth aunts also echoed: "Although we don't know what happened, we all care about you. This is your home. If you have any grievances, you need to speak up and we will take care of it for you."

Although the person who attacked Gu Jinhe was the old lady, they were not afraid.

Since Gu Jinhe returned to the Gu family, no one in the family has ever lifted a finger against her, but even so, Gu Jinhe has suffered a lot of harm.

It is undeniable that Gu Jinhe suffered those injuries because he returned to the Gu family.

It is precisely for this reason that they do not want Gu Jinhe to suffer any more grievances. Even if the person who did it is the old lady, they will ask for the truth.

Gu Jinhe would certainly not let them anger the old lady, and would not let their concern turn into being punished because of her.

Gu Jinhe looked at them and said, "I won't let myself be wronged. I know you all want to be good to me. I appreciate your kindness. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay you."

The third and fourth aunts couldn't help but laugh and said, "We should be nice to you, why should we ask for anything in return?"

A complicated expression flashed across Second Aunt's eyes. She looked at Gu Jinhe deeply, and after a long while she said, "Okay, I've said everything I need to say. You should have a good rest. I'll have someone bring you some ointment to reduce the swelling. You must apply it on time every day to get rid of the red marks as soon as possible. You can't ruin such a beautiful face."

After saying this, Second Aunt took Third Aunt and Fourth Aunt and left quickly as they came.

After Gu Jinkuan and the others knew that the old lady had beaten Gu Jinhe, they wanted to come and see what was happening immediately, but they were stopped by Second Aunt and the others, and they went instead.

It is better for the elders to take a look at such matters. After the brothers go there, they can only say a few words of comfort.

It would be better to let Gu Jinhe be alone and calm down to relieve his emotions.

Gu Jinhe leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes. At this moment, her heart seemed to be torn into two pieces, one of which was covered with frost, and the sharp edges were flashing with sharp light.

The other piece carries layers of clouds. They are light and weightless, yet warm, making the heart that has nowhere to rest beat slowly.

Gu Jinhe sat like this for the entire afternoon until the lights in the room were turned on and until night fell outside and the stars twinkled.

Shuhua and Shumo just stood outside the door and guarded silently. Gu Jinhe didn't move, and they didn't move either.

At this time, footsteps were gradually approaching, but Gu Jinhe kept his eyes closed and did not open them.

The footsteps paused in front of her, followed by the sound of clothes rubbing against each other gently, and the faint scent of sandalwood could not be ignored.

Fu Huaiyuan squatted down and reached out to touch Gu Jinhe's swollen cheek. A dark look flashed across his eyes. He asked softly, "Does it still hurt?"

When Gu Jinhe opened her eyes, she saw Fu Huaiyuan looking at her with deep eyes full of heartache.

Gu Jinhe just stared at him blankly and didn't say anything for a long time.

An inaudible sigh was heard in the silent hall.

"There's no one else now. If you want to cry, just cry. I'll be here with you."

Gu Jinhe slowly leaned her head on Fu Huaiyuan's shoulder, holding the corner of his clothes tightly with both hands.

Listening to Gu Jinhe's suppressed sobs, Fu Huaiyuan felt sore in his heart. He reached out and slowly patted Gu Jinhe's back, silently soothing her emotions.

I don't know how long it took, until Gu Jinhe had cried enough and was tired, she raised her head a little embarrassedly and said in a hoarse voice: "You got your shirt wet."

Fu Huaiyuan didn't care about this. He took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the tears from Gu Jinhe's face. He looked at her with incredibly gentle eyes and whispered, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Gu Jinhe curled the corners of his lips: "It doesn't hurt anymore, it's much better."

Fu Huaiyuan looked at Gu Jinhe seriously and asked, "Why didn't you call me?"

Gu Jinhe was stunned for a moment, and then realized what he meant. She whispered, "What did I call you for?"

She said that she was beaten by the old lady and complained to him?

and then?

It's impossible to tell him and then fight back, right?

If it were someone else, Gu Jinhe wouldn't have found it so difficult and would have fought back on the spot.

But this person is the old lady, so she has to hit him. Fighting back is impossible.

Therefore, she had to bear the slap by herself, without fighting back or retaliating.

Fu Huaiyuan raised his hand and touched Gu Jinhe's head, saying softly: "At least I will be here with you."

Gu Jinhe raised her eyes and met Fu Huaiyuan's. The tenderness in his eyes was clearly visible. She curled her lips and said, "Thank you for your company."

Seeing that Gu Jinhe's mood had recovered, Fu Huaiyuan stood up and said, "I haven't had dinner yet, please eat with me."

Gu Jinhe said, "Then go to the dining room and wait for me. I'll go wash up and come right back."

I just cried for a long time, and my eyes feel a little sore and uncomfortable. I guess my eye sockets are red.
