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

The property that Fourth Aunt gave me was a piece of property in the suburbs of Beijing. She said, "I bought this by chance. It also has a small horse farm. I can go horseback riding and take a walk to relax when I have the chance."

"Thank you, Fourth Aunt."

Gu Jinhe went there later in her previous life and invited some people she thought were her friends. Unexpectedly, because she didn't know how to ride a horse, she made a lot of jokes.

The gift from Aunt Wu was the most down-to-earth; she gave a set of skin care products.

Ye Pingting smiled sheepishly: "My wealth is not as rich as those of my sisters-in-law, so I can only give these ordinary gifts. I hope Jinhe will not despise them. I will give them to you when there is a chance in the future."

Of course, this opportunity will never come in this lifetime.

In her previous life, she was at a loss as to what to do because the gifts given by other aunts were too expensive. It was only the gift from Ye Pingting that made her feel relieved.

Even though she didn't know much about the Gu family at that time, she knew that even though this set of skin care products might not be cheap, it was obviously perfunctory compared to those of the other aunts.

Later, as such situations occurred more and more frequently, Gu Jinhe knew that Ye Pingting didn't like her.

Ye Pingting's words and expressions were gentle, and she had a petite and delicate appearance, which made her seem good-tempered to everyone. Therefore, even though people knew that her actions were sometimes inappropriate, few people would point it out to her in person and embarrass her.

After Gu Jinhe glanced at the brand of skin care products, he said to Ye Pingting with an apologetic look on his face: "Aunt Wu, I am allergic to this skin care products. I have received a lot of gifts today. Aunt Wu, why don't you take this set of skin care products back and keep it for yourself."

The smile on Ye Pingting's lips froze instantly. She looked up in disbelief at Gu Jinhe, who was sitting there elegantly and leisurely. The corners of her lips moved, and she glanced at the person next to her. She slowly lowered her head and said in a hurt tone, "Since Jinhe doesn't like it, I'll take it back."

Upon hearing this, the corners of Third Aunt's mouth twitched. Looking at the others who remained calm, it was obvious that she was already used to Ye Pingting's way of speaking.

Gu Jinhe raised an eyebrow and said, "Aunt Wu, you misunderstood. I am really allergic to this brand. It's not that I don't like your gift. You are being too suspicious. If you feel bad about it, why not give me the bracelet on your wrist?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole living room fell silent. Everyone looked at the bracelet on Ye Pingting's wrist at the same time. Then Third Aunt said in surprise, "I didn't notice before that Fifth Brother's wife actually has such a nice bracelet on her wrist?"

Fourth Aunt said, "We are used to wearing jewelry on a daily basis, wearing this today and that tomorrow, so I have never paid much attention to other people's jewelry."

It was Second Aunt who looked at the bracelet on Ye Pingting's wrist and frowned in confusion. She seemed to have seen this bracelet somewhere, but it should not be on Ye Pingting's wrist. But she couldn't remember it all of a sudden.

Seeing that Ye Pingting hadn't said anything, Gu Jinhe pursed his lips and said apologetically, "Jinhe was reckless. Since Fifth Aunt is unwilling to give it up, Jinhe will go to Grandma tomorrow and ask her to make me a bracelet exactly the same as Fifth Aunt's. I don't know why, but I fell in love with the bracelet on Fifth Aunt's wrist at first sight. I just hope Fifth Aunt won't mind if I wear a bracelet like yours in the future."

Noticing that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the living room, Third Aunt and Fourth Aunt looked at each other silently, then sat back in silence, waiting to see how Ye Pingting would handle the matter.

It’s strange to say, on the first day Gu Jinhe came back, he was smiling and talking to everyone, but for some reason, when he met Ye Pingting, he had a strange feeling.

Ye Pingting looked down at the bracelet on her wrist. It was emerald green, smooth and delicate. She could tell at a glance that it was top-quality jadeite.

Ye Pinting didn’t know why Gu Jinhe was targeting her. Yes, targeting her.

She was particularly sensitive about this aspect. From the first moment she saw her, she didn't know if she had a feeling in her heart or she had seen it wrongly, but she always felt that Gu Jinhe's eyes looked at her with a deep coldness. However, when facing her, he smiled and called her Fifth Aunt, and there didn't sound anything wrong with his tone.

But now it seems that her feeling was correct, Gu Jinhe was hostile to her.

If she hadn't given up the bracelet today, the old lady would have found out within half an hour. She knew how much the old lady cared about Gu Jinhe, and she couldn't let the old lady have any opinion about her because of a bracelet. She had worked so hard to get to where she was today, and there couldn't be any mistakes.

Ye Pingting smiled, looked at Gu Jinhe and said, "I was thinking about changing some other gift for Jinhe before, but I didn't think of it for a while. Since Jinhe likes this bracelet, Aunt Wu will give it to Jinhe." As she said that, she took off the bracelet on her wrist and placed it on the table.

Gu Jinhe looked at the jade bracelet in front of him, then glanced at Aunt Wu, and said with a deeper smile: "Jinhe thanks Aunt Wu for giving it up."

Because of this episode, the atmosphere in the living room became dull for a moment. The second aunt, who usually talks about lively topics, did not say a word because she was thinking about the jade bracelet. The third and fourth aunts made faces and no one around them knew what they were talking about.

The third aunt and the fourth aunt's maiden families are from the same city. They have similar family backgrounds, have known each other since childhood, and have always been good friends. They have also been sisters-in-law for more than 20 years, so their relationship is naturally much closer than that of others.

Fortunately, at this time Gu Jinkuan came in with his three younger brothers, and the four of them were holding brocade boxes of different sizes in their hands.

As soon as Gu Jinkuan came in, he felt that the expressions of several people were not right, but this was not the time to ask. He walked up to Gu Jinhe and said gently: "Jinhe, welcome home." As he said that, he opened the lid of the brocade box in his hand.

Gu Jinhe lowered his eyes and saw a lifelike jade sculpture of a phoenix inside. The phoenix was spreading its wings as if it was about to fly, and the color was translucent, especially the phoenix's eyes, which were full of spirit, as if they were really a pair of eyes.

The gift given by the eldest brother remained unchanged. Even though he knew that his mother had changed the gift, he truly felt that this gift was suitable for her.

There was a complicated flash in Gu Jinhe's eyes as she looked at the tall, gentle and handsome man standing in front of her. Her nose suddenly felt sore. Her elder brother had always been very good to her and had never changed from the beginning to the end.

"Thank you, brother. I like your gift very much."

Shuhua stepped forward and took the brocade box from Gu Jinkuan's hand. After he stepped back, Gu Jinrong stood up. He opened the lid like Gu Jinkuan and said to Gu Jinhe, "Jinhe, welcome home."

Gu Jinrong gave twelve zodiac signs carved from fine jadeite. His mother gave him night-shining pearls and he gave him jade. They were indeed a family and even the gifts they gave were of the same lineage.

"Thank you, second brother."

Shuhua took his brocade box and placed it on the low table behind him, together with Gu Jinkuan's brocade box.

Gu Jinhong took two steps forward, opened the lid of the box and said with a smile: "Sister Miaomiao, welcome home."

He gave two car keys. In his words, good things come in pairs, so of course it’s better to give two gifts.

Gu Jinhe pursed his lips and smiled, "Thank you, Third Brother."

Gu Jinhong didn't go back after giving the gift, but continued: "If Miaomiao is interested in racing in the future, you can come to me and I will take you to the Jade Pillar Bend!"

Seeing that he was getting more and more out of tune, Fourth Aunt could no longer bear it and rushed over to twist his ear, saying harshly: "What nonsense are you talking about? Be careful or I'll ask your dad to have people smash all those broken cars of yours. Don't talk nonsense in front of Jin He!"

"Hiss! It hurts, Mom, please be gentle!" Gu Jinhong left the living room first after his fourth aunt twisted his ear.

The gift Gu Jinyu gave was quite ordinary, a pink and white jade hairpin.

"Thank you, fourth brother."

After Shuhua took the brocade box, Gu Jinyu put down his hand, looked at Gu Jinhe and said, "Today is your first day back to the Gu family. I guess you don't know all the direct descendants of the Gu family. I have a younger sister named Gu Feiwan. She has something to do today and can't attend the dinner. This hairpin is given to you on her behalf."

Gu Jinhe glanced at the brocade box that Shuhua had not put down yet, and sighed in his heart. No matter what kind of person Gu Jinyu was, he had always loved his sister Gu Feiwan sincerely.

"Thank you, sister Feiwan."

By this time, Second Aunt had already come back to her senses. She looked at Gu Jinyu and said, "Since you gave this hairpin to Jinhe on behalf of Feiwan, where is the gift you gave?"

Gu Jinyu curled his lips and glanced at his mother who was obviously upset. He said, "The gift I chose is a bit heavy. I will have someone deliver it to the Rose Courtyard later."

Gu Jinhe lowered his eyes without looking at him, and only said, "Thank you, Fourth Brother."

But she was thinking in her heart that when he returned and found out that she had stolen her mother's bracelet, he would probably want to tear down her courtyard wall.

After all the gifts had been given to the direct descendants, everyone left the small living room and went to the main door to see off the Gu family's side branch who were leaving.

Shuhua glanced at the jade bracelet on the table and asked, "What should we do with this jade bracelet?"

Gu Jinhe picked up the jade bracelet and rubbed it carefully for a few times, then handed it to Shuhua and said, "Wash it carefully and send it to my room."

"Yes"

Xu Cheng pushed open the door of the small living room and came in, saying to Gu Jinhe, "The dinner is over, and the kitchen has prepared some food. Miss, would you like to go to the small restaurant to try some?"

He experienced too many things today and met too many people, which consumed a lot of physical energy, but Gu Jinhe had no appetite to eat at this time.

"No, let's go back now."

Xu Cheng did not try to persuade them. He picked up the brocade box with Shuhua Shumo and followed Gu Jinhe out of the small living room.

At this time, the sky had become completely dark, and a few stars could be vaguely seen in the sky, shining faintly.

As the night deepened and the dew became heavier, Gu Jinhe walked slowly on the path, feeling a chill rising slowly from the soles of her feet. She tightened her shawl around her body, walked in silence for a while, and suddenly spoke: "Xu Cheng?"

Xu Cheng: "Miss, I'm here."

Gu Jinhe raised his eyes to the night sky above his head and said in an almost inaudible voice: "Tell me, who would be unhappy if I returned to the Gu family?"

But now it was extremely quiet at night, not only Xu Cheng, but even Shuhua and Shumo heard it, and the three of them reacted differently.

Shuhua frowned, not understanding why Gu Jinhe had such an idea.

Shu Mo had a thoughtful look on his face, thinking about the set of skin care products that Gu Jinhe had refused as a gift from the Fifth Madam in the living room just now.

So, it is the Fifth Lady who is unhappy?

After Xu Cheng pondered for a few seconds, he replied: "It doesn't matter who is unhappy. What matters is that the old lady must be very happy in her heart."

Yes, the person who dotes on her the most in the Gu family is the old lady. Gu Jinhe suddenly realized, then smiled and said, "Just think that I met a lot of people tonight, and I feel inspired."

Gu Jinhe did not speak again during the rest of the journey.

But the three of them kept her question in mind.

They all knew that this was definitely not what Gu Jinhe said. There must have been a problem somewhere and they didn't notice it.
