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

As the faint scent of tea floated in the air, footsteps were heard.

Gu Jinhe lowered his eyelids, poured a cup of brewed tea and placed it opposite him, and said softly, "You are late, brother."

Gu Jinkuan sat down opposite him and said apologetically, "Something happened to delay me. I'm late even though I hurried."

Gu Jinhe looked calm, without any intention of blaming him. She curved her eyebrows slightly and said, "I know that Big Brother is very busy these days. I made an appointment with you last night. You have already made time to come today."

After that, Gu Jinhe pointed to the teacup on the table and said, "Brother, try this cup of tea and see how it tastes."

Gu Jinkuan looked at Gu Jinhe gently, and with a smile on his lips, he picked up the teacup in front of him and took two sips. He raised one eyebrow slightly and said, "This is the tea collected by Fourth Aunt. Why is it here with you?"

Gu Jinhe: "My third brother gave it to me last time I visited him. If I hadn't dissuaded him, I'm afraid he would have given me all the tea that Fourth Aunt had collected."

Gu Jinkuan put down his teacup and said with a smile, "It's something he can do."

Gu Jinhe did not waste any time and directly stated the purpose of inviting Gu Jinkuan.

"I have locked Xu Cheng up in Gu's house and won't let him go anywhere. If time goes on for a long time, I'm worried that bad rumors will spread from the outside world."

"So, I asked Big Brother out today because I wanted him to do me a favor."

After Gu Jinkuan pondered for a moment, he said calmly, "You want me to help Xu Cheng become the steward of the Gu family, right?"

Gu Jinhe had never thought of hiding this matter, nor did she think she could hide it from Gu Jinkuan, so when she heard what Gu Jinkuan said, she did not deny it.

"He is the young steward of the Gu family. He has the qualifications to take the position of steward. I just want him to be able to do so legitimately."

Hearing this, Gu Jinkuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Jinhe: "Do you know what legitimate means?"

Legitimately, of course, means that Xu Cheng must stay with the heir of the Gu family in order to legitimately take the position of steward.

And now the heir of the Gu family is Gu Jinkuan.

Gu Jinkuan certainly didn't think that it was Gu Jinhe who wanted the position of heir to the Gu family. If she wanted it, she would not have returned the Gu family jade token to his father.

Moreover, even if Gu Jinhe really wanted to be the heir to the Gu family, he would only carefully train Gu Jinhe to become a qualified heir.

Gu Jinkuan himself will also assist her wholeheartedly.

So Gu Jinkuan was very clear at this time what Gu Jinhe's request meant.

Gu Jinhe lowered his eyes to look at the light green tea in the cup, and said in a calm tone: "Of course I know what legitimate means. The old housekeeper is old, and some things are more or less beyond his ability to manage. In terms of mentality, his management style is no longer in line with modern times. Xu Cheng has received new education, and he is more suitable for the current management style."

"Moreover, Xu Cheng already has enough ability to take over the position of butler. I believe he will do a good job as a butler."

Hearing Gu Jinhe's words, Gu Jinkuan suddenly laughed. These few words actually meant to dismiss the old butler from his position, banish him to the cold palace, and let his grandson take over.

If the old butler and Xu Cheng knew about this, who knows what expressions they would show.

Gu Jinkuan looked at Gu Jinhe calmly and said, "Aren't you afraid that the old housekeeper will cause trouble for you?"

The old butler has been in charge of the Gu family for decades. There is no need to say how many connections he has in the Gu family. If you offend him, there will be no good consequences.

Gu Jinhe raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Brother, how do you know that this is not what the old housekeeper thinks?"

In his previous life, until Xu Cheng died, he never had the surname Gu, and this was the only regret of the old butler.

In this life, let the old butler’s wish come true.

Gu Jinkuan's eyes flashed, and he realized that Gu Jinhe's words were definitely not groundless. He must have known that the old housekeeper would not be angry about this matter, so he went to find him.

Gu Jinkuan said: "What are you going to do?"

Gu Jinhe took a sip from the teacup, looked up at Gu Jinkuan, curved his lips and said, "I want my eldest brother to spread the word that Xu Cheng is now taking over the Gu family's housekeeper affairs and will not be able to go out in the short term. As for interpersonal relationships in the outside world, the old housekeeper will naturally come forward to handle this matter for us."

Gu Jinkuan smiled helplessly and said, "Your abacus beads are about to jump to the sky. Just a few words, you want me to replace the housekeeper of the Gu family for you. Aren't you worried that I will be scolded by the old lady because of this matter?"

After all, the old butler has been loyal over the years, working for the old lady and has never done anything wrong. He has always been concerned about the Gu family and shared the old lady's worries.

If we talk about who is the most trusted by the old lady in the Gu family, I am afraid that even Prime Minister Gu may not be as important as the old butler.

Gu Jinhe put down the teacup and tilted his head to look at the lotus pond outside the pavilion. It was already autumn, but there were still lotus flowers blooming in the pond, standing tall in the wind, quietly blooming beautifully.

There was a complex flash in Gu Jinhe's eyes. Some people are like the lotus flowers swaying in the wind, rising above the mud without being stained, and blooming with their own beauty.

Gu Jinhe said calmly: "The old lady won't do that. Why do you think she put Xu Cheng next to me after I returned to the Gu family?"

Gu Jinkuan's brows were filled with gentleness: "Of course, it is to let you better understand the Gu family and the situation of the family, and to let the outside world know that your position in the Gu family cannot be shaken by anyone."

Because of Xu Cheng's status as the young butler, whoever he stays with is the heir. This has been the tradition of the Gu family for generations.

So when the outside world knew that the old lady kept Xu Cheng with Gu Jinhe, rumors spread that the Gu family was going to change the heir.

At the same time, only by staying by the heir's side can Xu Cheng legitimately succeed the position of butler.

This is actually more like a mutually beneficial relationship.

If the two people separate, it will not be good for anyone. Instead, only when they work together can they achieve a win-win result.

Gu Jinhe turned his gaze to Gu Jinkuan and said, "Brother, do you mind that Xu Cheng hasn't been with you for so many years?"

Gu Jinkuan said in a gentle tone: "Why should I mind? Although Xu Cheng is not with me, he and I grew up together. I know his character and ability very well. I have no objection to him taking the position of Gu family's housekeeper."

Gu Jinhe's eyes lit up: "Big brother, are you willing to help me?"

Seeing this, Gu Jinkuan said with some amusement: "Didn't you come to me just because you knew I wouldn't reject you?"

Otherwise, why would she invite him here for tea without telling him the purpose in advance?

Xu Bencheng is the new butler trained by the Gu family. It is only a matter of time before he takes the position of butler.
