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

No one cared why Yang Qiao left early. There were not many families in this hall that were friendly with the Yang family.

It’s better that Yang Qiao left, so that she won’t feel neglected.

The Fu family's banquet ended smoothly. After all the guests were sent away, Gu Jinhe was kept by Fu's mother.

The two sat on the sofa in the hall and chatted, during which time Mother Fu talked about the injury of the head of the Bai family.

It is impossible for the major families not to find out things that others don’t know.

That day, after being shot, the head of the Bai family was taken back for treatment by his subordinates. Although the bullet was taken out, it was too close to the heart, and the situation was too dangerous. The head of the Bai family was in a coma for nearly half a month before waking up.

But when he woke up, he had no energy to deal with the rumors and he was still in a coma most of the time.

By the time he was fully awake, rumors about the Bai family were already flying everywhere.

It is a fact that the Bai family leaked the information about the seven great families' siege on the Murong family, and the Bai family cannot refute it.

The Bai family was indeed in the wrong in this matter, so the Bai family could only suppress the rumors from the outside world and could not find a reasonable reason to explain it all.

The old lady of the Bai family has passed away. As the culprit, she had lived a smooth life for most of her life, except for one time when she was old. This guilt made her unable to hold on, and she fell down directly and never stood up again.

The first half of the Bai family head's life was smooth, but the second half of his life might be like his head hanging on the edge of a knife.

Who knows, a bullet might come from somewhere and pierce him between the eyebrows.

Although the condition of the head of the Bai family has improved, he still has some sequelae. His body will be much weaker in the future. He cannot overwork or be overly anxious, and he needs to take medicine all year round.

His once strong body has now become so weak that he has to rely on drugs to maintain his health. The head of the Bai family only hates the culprit even more.

But Gu Jinhe didn't care how much the head of the Bai family hated her. She hated him anyway, so she let him hate her.

If this hatred could allow him to continue living and let him watch the Bai family fall into decline, it would also be a form of revenge.

Mother Fu said, "Jinhe, tell me, is the injury of Patriarch Bai related to you?"

Gu Jinhe nodded slightly: "The night I was injured, he brought people to kill me."

Upon hearing this, Mother Fu's expression suddenly became angry: "This Patriarch Bai is really out of his mind. He actually did such a thing."

Mother Fu patted Gu Jinhe's hand and said, "Jinhe, don't worry, Huaiyuan will definitely avenge you."

Gu Jinhe raised his eyebrows slightly and said with some amusement: "He blocked my way and tried to kill me. I avenged him right there and then."

Mother Fu disagreed, "It's your business to avenge yourself. As your fiancé, Huaiyuan should avenge you."

Gu Jinhe looked up at Fu Huaiyuan who had just come down from upstairs after washing up, and said with a smile: "I heard that you want to avenge me?"

Fu Huaiyuan came over, sat down on the sofa opposite, looked at Gu Jinhe and said, "If he dares to kill you, he must bear the consequences."

Gu Jinhe asked: "Then how do you want to avenge me?"

Fu Huaiyuan didn't say anything, but just said: "Let's not talk about this for now, you will know when the time comes."

Gu Jinhe didn't expect Fu Huaiyuan to hide it, but since he didn't want to say it, Gu Jinhe didn't force him.

After Fu Huaiyuan became the head of the Fu family, he became busier than before.

Before, he was dealing with foreign affairs, and he had dealt with them all before inheriting the position of head of the family.

Everything that needs to be dealt with now is in Beijing. No matter how busy he is, Fu Huaiyuan never forgets to call Gu Jinhe every day.

It was probably the rainy season. It had been raining intermittently for half a month since the Fu family banquet.

Sometimes it's just a drizzle, and sometimes it's a heavy rain. The raindrops falling on the head and face can feel a slight pain.

Gu Jinhe stood in the corridor and looked up at the rain in the sky. It was raining heavily outside.

The vision was obstructed, and the sky outside the high wall was foggy, as if it was covered by a large net. It was obviously just a thin rain mist, but it was impossible to touch or see through it.

The rain splashed on the ground and sprayed all around. After standing in the corridor for a long time, Gu Jinhe's shoes were covered with fine raindrops.

Gu Jinhe stretched out his hand from the corridor, and almost the moment he stretched out his hand, the rain began to hit his palm with a crackling sound.

Soon a small puddle of rain gathered in the palm of the hand, and some rain also fell through the fingers.

Gu Jinhe lowered her eyes and looked at the small puddle of rain on the palm of her hand. When the raindrops fell and hit it, the splashes of water fell on her wrist and arm.

The lotus flowers in the lotus pond at the gate of the courtyard were in bloom. Shuhua and Shumo went to pick the lotus flowers with umbrellas. The continuous heavy rain bent the lotus flowers.

So now they are going to pick some flower buds and put them in vases to protect them from the rain and let them bloom naturally.

When Shuhua and Shumo came back with the lotus flowers, they saw Gu Jinhe standing under the corridor with his hands outstretched to catch the rain water.

Shuhua and Shumo looked at each other immediately, then quickly stepped forward and said to Gu Jinhe, "Miss, your injury has only just healed, so you'd better try not to come into contact with rain water. It is cold in nature and it's not good for your body if it comes into contact with your skin."

Gu Jinhe blinked gently, then turned over his palm, and the rain in his palm splashed onto the ground and merged with other raindrops.

Gu Jinhe looked up at the lotus flowers in their arms. There was also a purple lotus in Shu Mo's arms.

Shu Mo picked out this lotus flower specifically, put it in a vase and placed it on the small table in the corridor.

The rest were placed in the hall.

Shuhua still had a few lotus leaves in his hand, saying that he would eat beggar's chicken in the evening, and wrapping it in lotus leaves would bring out the fragrance of lotus leaves.

Gu Jinhe came to the chair in the corridor and sat down, looking at the lotus in the vase beside him, speechless for a long time.

Shuhua and Shumo looked at each other, then Shuhua went to prepare tea. Shumo sat down on a small stool beside them and picked up a small hammer to knock on walnuts.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"..."

Every time Shumo cracked a walnut, a sound was made.

Gu Jinhe lowered his eyes to look at the almost full plate of walnut meat and said, "We've already cracked so many, why are you still cracking?"

Shu Mo stopped what he was doing and said, "These are used to make walnut crisps. I recently learned a new dessert that requires walnuts, so I thought of cracking more walnuts."

Gu Jinhe nodded slightly, and then stopped talking. She closed her eyes and began to rest.

At this time Shuhua came over with her tea set. Soon, the sounds in the corridor included the sound of rain, the sound of walnuts being knocked, and the sound of gurgling water.

The air was filled with moist water vapor, accompanied by the aroma of tea and the unique flavor of walnuts, as well as the cool fragrance of the calla lily lotus. Many flavors gathered together in this corridor.

But it seems so peaceful and quiet.
