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

Bai Xi looked at Gu Jinhe and asked, "Do you hate the Bai family?"

Gu Jinhe: "Can't I hate?"

Bai Xi pursed her lips and said, "Will you deal with the Bai family the same way you dealt with the Murong family?"

Gu Jinhe smiled faintly: "Bai family, it's not my turn to take action yet."

Bai Xi was stunned: "What do you mean by that?"

Gu Jinhe said calmly, "Every wrong has its perpetrator. The Bai family leaked the secret and caused many casualties among the seven great families. The price was too high."

Gu Jinhe asked, "Do you know the Yang family in the east of the city?"

Bai Xi nodded: "The Yang family in the east of the city is one of the eight great families in the capital."

Gu Jinhe lowered his eyelids and said, "Back then, the Yang family was nearly wiped out, and only a pair of siblings were left. Do you think that with such a deep blood feud, the Yang family... would let the Bai family go?"

Bai Xi's face turned pale little by little. She said blankly, "But didn't you send the head of the Yang family and the heir to prison?"

Gu Jinhe raised the corners of his lips lightly: "It seems that you have inquired about it."

Gu Jinhe said coldly: "I just sent them to prison, not killed them. They are still alive and well."

"Yang Wen is still the head of the Yang family, and the Yang family still has to obey him in making decisions. If Yang Wen knew that it was the Bai family who informed on him that led to everything that happened later, how do you think Yang Wen would deal with the Bai family?"

"Since you have inquired, you should also know that I have been attacked by the Yang family several times. Each time they came to take my life because I carry the blood of the Murong family."

"Even though I knew nothing at the time and had no connection with the Murong family, Yang Wen still didn't let me go. He transferred his hatred for the Murong family to me and never slacked off."

Hearing this, Bai Xi murmured to himself: "No, the Yang family can't do this, it's against the law!"

Gu Jinhe raised his eyes and looked at Bai Xi. Although his expression did not change, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Bai Xi was stunned for a moment, then he realized what he had said. Everything that happened at the Bai family's banquet was against the law, and the Bai family was breaking the law knowingly.

Bai Xi lowered his head and whispered, "Sorry, that's not what I meant."

Gu Jinhe: "You don't have to apologize to me. Although you are from the Bai family, I have always been clear about gratitude and resentment. I will not implicate innocent people for no reason."

"Besides, you are different from the Bai family."

Bai Xi's face turned completely pale. She looked at Gu Jinhe and asked with difficulty: "How will the Yang family retaliate against the Bai family?"

Gu Jinhe: "The Yang family has a shady background. Compared with other families, their methods of dealing with things are more ruthless and they will show no mercy."

At this time, Bai Xi suddenly remembered something. She once heard her father mention the Yang family. At that time, in order to avenge Yang Lin, Yang Wen ruthlessly wiped out the entire family, leaving no dog behind.

It was also because of this incident that Bai Xi's father, the current patriarch of the Bai family, listed the Yang family on the top list.

Genocide?

Bai Xi shook his head: "No, although the Bai family's reputation is not as good as before, its foundation has not been damaged. If the Yang family wants to retaliate, it will definitely not end well."

Gu Jinhe: "When Yang Wen wanted to avenge Yang Lin, he also faced this problem, but he still wiped out his enemy's clan without hesitation."

Bai Xi was speechless, her face showing worry and confusion, and she didn't speak for a long time.

Gu Jinhe just watched the changes in Bai Xi's expression and said calmly: "Although you asked to leave the Bai family, you are still a member of the Bai family in your heart. You can't let them go, and you can't watch them being retaliated by the Yang family."

Gu Jinhe chuckled: "Look, when your family was about to be retaliated against, what was the first thought that came to your mind?"

"It's understandable that you're worried about your people. No one will say anything about you."

"But if you don't want your own people to get hurt, do you have to watch others get hurt?"

Gu Jinhe's tone faded: "If that's the case, then I'll have to re-evaluate Miss Bai."

Bai Xi immediately said, "That's not what I meant. They are my relatives after all. I can't bear to watch them get hurt."

Gu Jinhe said calmly: "This is the difference in standpoints. You stand on the Bai family's side and don't want to see them get hurt or die. This is a very normal thing. Vice versa, others think the same way."

So in this matter, there is no right or wrong, it’s just that each person’s position determines the different perspectives.

Identity determines stance, and stance determines future.

Since the Bai family's banquet, Gu Jinhe has already seen the future of the Bai family.

That's why Gu Jinhe said that it was not her turn to take action against the Bai family.

The seven great families will definitely unite to fight against the Bai family.

Even if there is a grudge between the Yang family and the Gu family, when facing a common enemy, the families will temporarily unite because of their positions.

This is probably the tacit understanding between the aristocratic families over the years.

Bai Xi: "So, our positions determine that we can't be friends."

Gu Jinhe raised his eyebrows in surprise: "You want to be friends with me?"

Bai Xi raised her pale lips and said, "If our positions are the same, I believe we can become good friends."

But there are no ifs in this world.

In this life, Gu Jinhe and Bai Xi were destined to never become friends, and were also destined to become enemies one day in the future.

Bai Xi felt a little regretful. After the conversation just now, she really started to like Gu Jinhe.

But at this moment they were on opposite sides.

If Gu Jinhe hadn't been so nonchalant, they wouldn't have been able to sit together and talk and drink tea at this moment.

This conversation not only failed to redeem Bai Xi's guilt, but instead caused her to worry about the Bai family.

Finally, when Bai Xi was leaving, Gu Jinhe reminded him, "Your coming to the capital cannot be hidden from the eyes and ears of the noble families. Be careful when you go back."

Gu Jinhe couldn't do anything to add insult to injury, but he also couldn't do anything to protect Bai Xi. Just giving her a verbal reminder was the most he could do.

Bai Xi naturally understood. She looked at Gu Jinhe and said, "Thank you. I grew up in the army. For me, counter-reconnaissance and hiding traces are as easy as eating."

Gu Jinhe: "It seems that I worried for nothing."

Bai Xi: "Ms. Gu, no matter how different our positions are, I know that you are different from other children of noble families."

"You are honest, aboveboard, and selfless."

Are you really selfless?

Gu Jinhe frowned slightly, and looked at Bai Xi who followed Shu Mo out of the Rose Courtyard. She slightly raised the corners of her lips.

Everyone has selfish desires, just like Bai Xi. Even though she left the Bai family, when she knew that the Bai family was in danger, she still wanted to go back and face it together.
