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

At this time, the man raised the paper money in his hand again and handed it to Gu Jinhe, saying: "You just said that this is your first time to visit your grandfather, are you really not going to burn some paper money for him?"

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Jinhe said, "How much did you pay for the paper money? I'll transfer it to you."

The man whispered, "This paper money doesn't cost much, so you don't have to be polite to me, just take it and use it."

After thinking for a while, Gu Jinhe still rejected the man: "Sorry, I can't use your paper money to burn for my relatives."

This time the man did not insist. After Gu Jinhe refused, he put down his hand. There was a hint of strange emotion in his tone: "Little girl, you are quite particular."

This is not a question of etiquette. When it comes to deceased elders, some things cannot be borrowed casually.

The man asked again, "How old are you?"

Gu Jinhe: “Twenty-six years old.”

The man said, "You'll be twenty-seven in a month. Are you really not considering getting married soon?"

"Don't you have a boy you like?"

Gu Jinhe seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly smiled: "I didn't have it before, but I have it now."

The man looked at Gu Jinhe: "Does he like you?"

Gu Jinhe's expression remained unchanged, and he whispered, "He was the first one to like me. He has been the one who has paid for me over the past few years. In a sense, I owe him."

Man: "In relationships, there is no such thing as who owes anyone anything. It only counts who likes and loves more. The one who loves more must have given the most, but also enjoyed it. So the one who feels indebted in a relationship just feels that he or she has not done enough and cannot repay the other person for what he or she has given to him or her."

"It seems that you really like that boy, so why don't you want to get married?"

Gu Jinhe's expression was slightly restrained, and the calmness between his brows gradually faded: "I once had a dream. In the dream, I would die at the muzzle of a gun after I turned 28. In order to verify the authenticity of this dream, I want to wait until I am 28 years old. If I am not dead, then I will get married."

The curve of the man's mouth seemed to stiffen for a moment, and after a while he said, "What if you died? The boy you like would lose you, wouldn't you have any regrets?"

Gu Jinhe tilted his head to look at the man, raised his eyebrows and said, "Most people who hear what I just said will say that dreams are the opposite of reality and should not be taken seriously, and ask me not to take it to heart."

"But after you heard me, you thought what I said was true, and even asked me if I would have any regrets."

"You seem to know that I will die."

Gu Jinhe spoke this last sentence in an indifferent and deep voice, with a chilling look between his brows.

The man did not show any panic because of Gu Jinhe's words. He was very calm. It should be said that since he came here, his emotions and expressions have always been calm, and even his speech has no ups and downs.

It seemed that nothing in this world could cause his mood changes anymore.

The man said, "Everyone will die. You said you dreamed that you would die at the age of 28. Maybe this was a reminder from your grandfather to you, so that you would be prepared and maybe you would not die."

"Really?" Gu Jinhe said lightly.

Man: "Who knows? No one knows what will happen until the end, right?"

Gu Jinhe: "You are right. It is unknown who will win until the end."

After finishing speaking, Gu Jinhe looked at the man for a moment and said, "I haven't asked for your name yet, but judging from your accent, you should be a native of Beijing, right?"

The man's expression remained calm, and his tone was flat as he spoke: "My last name is Chen, and I am indeed from Beijing."

Gu Jinhe asked: "So what do you do?"

After thinking for a moment, the man said, "Foreign trade business."

"Little girl, why are you asking so many questions?"

Gu Jinhe: "Just asking out of curiosity."

The man turned around and asked Gu Jinhe: "What's your last name and what do you do?"

Gu Jinhe did not react to the man's sudden question.

She said calmly: "My last name is Gu. I haven't done anything. I am just living off my parents."

The man shook his head slightly and said, "I see that your behavior is not like that of an ordinary person. You should have a good family background, right?"

Gu Jinhe whispered, "It's OK. It's not too hard to support me."

Man: "Why are you being so modest? A good family background is a good family background. What is there to be modest about?"

Gu Jinhe raised his eyebrows slightly: "Could it be another word?"

The man asked, "What word?"

"Low-key, I mean low-key, not modest, you misunderstood."

The man looked at the flowers in front of the tombstone and said, "You are really low-key. You only brought flowers to visit your elders, but not even paper money. Aren't you really afraid that he will have no money to spend in the afterlife?"

While the man was speaking, wind blew by, blowing the ashes of paper money in front of the nameless tombstone into the air.

Gu Jinhe was silent for a while, then spoke in a lower tone: "I didn't think it through."

The man was sympathetic and said, "Since he is your elder, I don't think he will blame you."

Today I finally understood what it means to speak the truth to people and lies to ghosts.

The man said all the good and bad things, and it seemed as if everything he said was right.

At this moment, seeing that Gu Jinhe had not gone down for a long time, a bodyguard came up to look for Gu Jinhe. When he saw the man standing beside him, his eyes suddenly changed.

"Miss, we should go back."

Gu Jinhe looked up at the sun that was getting hotter above his head. It was time to wear a thin coat in this season, but the sun was too strong and he would feel hot if he stayed in the sun for too long.

Gu Jinhe looked at the man and said, "Mr. Chen, thank you for your kindness and advice. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

The man stepped aside to let Gu Jinhe leave, and when she passed by, he suddenly said, "Goodbye, Miss Gu."

"Goodbye."

Gu Jinhe walked down the stairs little by little, with her bodyguard following behind her. When she was halfway there, she suddenly looked back and saw the man still standing in the same place, with his head slightly lowered, wondering what he was thinking about.

Seeing this, Gu Jinhe turned around and stopped looking over there. He went straight down the stairs and walked downwards.

After Gu Jinhe left, she didn't know that the man did not leave. Instead, he walked to Murong Qinglan's tombstone. After standing there for a while, he squatted down, turned on the lighter, and lit the paper money in his hand and burned them one by one.

He murmured softly until a layer of ash fell on the ground in front of him.

"Uncle, look, your granddaughter came to see you, but she didn't even want to burn paper money for you. You are such a heartless person..."

"Speaking of which, this is my first time visiting you here. I still remember the time when you carried me on your back to buy toys on the street when I was a child."

"At that time, I liked two kinds of toys and didn't know how to choose. You told me that the first thing I saw was my favorite. Even if it wasn't the best, it was my favorite in my heart and I would never throw it away."
