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

Gu Jinhe tilted his head to look at Patriarch Gao and said in a leisurely tone, "Patriarch Gao, have you thought it through?"

In the end, should we choose to remain in place or to cooperate with the Murong family.

All it takes is one answer, and what happens next has consequences.

The head of the Gao family turned his eyes and saw Gao Qi, whose face was pale. In just a moment, he knew that Gao Qi was frightened by what he had just said.

The head of the Gao family glared at Gao Qi with disappointment, and his eyes clearly told Gao Qi that he would deal with him when he returned!

He was frightened like this by just two sentences. The eldest son of the Gao family is actually a coward. He has grown so big for nothing.

It's really embarrassing for others!

Gu Jinhe only took one look at Gao Qi's strange behavior and knew the reason. She did not expect that Gao Qi, who seemed irritable and furious when bidding at the Huarong auction, would behave like this at this moment.

At this moment, Gu Jinhe suddenly felt fortunate for the Gao family, fortunately Gao Qi was not the heir of the Gao family, otherwise if the Gao family was handed over to such a person in the future, he might be frightened and would not be able to sit firmly in the position of the head of the family.

Perhaps the head of the Gao family had similar thoughts to Gu Jinhe. At this time, the head of the Gao family no longer wanted to see Gao Qi's face again.

Patriarch Gao turned to look at Gu Jinhe and said in a deep voice, "If I choose to cooperate with the noble family, what if the Murong family thinks I have betrayed them and causes trouble for the Gao family?"

This is to want Gu Jinhe to make a promise. If the Murong family attacks the Gao family, they want Gu Jinhe to help save the Gao family.

Just a moment ago, it was Patriarch Gao who wanted to make a promise to Gu Jinhe, but now he wants Gu Jinhe's promise instead.

Hearing what Patriarch Gao said, Gu Jinhe curled the corners of his lips and spoke in a colder tone: "I think Patriarch Gao didn't understand what I just said. Aristocratic families don't need to cooperate with other families. The Gao family just needs to be the same as before. As long as they don't cooperate with the Murong family, everything will be fine."

If the aristocratic family wanted to cooperate with other families, they would have contacted them long ago. How could they wait until now?

Because the family had experienced a turmoil, they were not at ease if they cooperated with other families.

It would be better to just do the same as before and have the seven major families unite together without the need for other families to join, lest someone with ulterior motives take advantage of the situation and cause the same thing that happened decades ago to happen again.

When Patriarch Gao heard Gu Jinhe's refusal, he felt disappointed but was not surprised at all, because he knew that Gu Jinhe would never agree to such a request.

Patriarch Gao's face darkened: "What if I refuse the Murong family and they deal with me?"

Gu Jinhe said calmly: "Do you think that at this critical moment, the Murong family will take action against the Gao family?"

Nowadays, the Murong family has been monitored by various forces. If there is any unusual movement in the Murong family, it will definitely be noticed.

However, it is not so easy to deal with the Gao family. The Murong family needs to mobilize some manpower.

As long as the Murong family makes any move, they will be seen by the people who are monitoring them. Then no matter what the Murong family does, it will be under the eyes of others.

The Murong family knew this, so they chose to cooperate with first-class families.

If possible, the Murong family would not choose such a gentle method. Direct control by force is the safest.

But now is not the time to take action, so the Murong family will use the most conservative approach to find a cooperative family.

After hearing what Gu Jinhe said, Patriarch Gao pondered for a moment and said, "The seven great families are now uniting to fight against the Murong family. It is indeed not appropriate for the Murong family to take action at this time."

Because the Murong family has to focus all their time and energy on dealing with the seven major families.

As for the Gao family, perhaps the Murong family may not even take them seriously.

But don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected.

The head of the Gao family did not dare to gamble. What if the Murong family suddenly attacked the Gao family in anger? Would the Gao family still have a chance to survive?

The Bai family is a family of politicians that has been passed down for hundreds of years. Didn’t they get exterminated just by saying so?

No matter how powerful his Gao family is, can they compare to the Bai family's connections?

The head of the Gao family was silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about the interests involved.

Gu Jinhe glanced at him and sneered in his heart, he really is a man who will not give up until he reaches the Yellow River.

Gu Jinhe's eyes turned cold: "I don't know whether the Murong family will retaliate against the Gao family, but I can tell you now whether the seven great families will retaliate."

Before the head of the Gao family could react, Gao Qi stood up and waved his hands excitedly at Gu Jinhe: "No, the Gao family will not cooperate with the Murong family!"

The head of the Gao family glared at Gao Qi angrily, but did not say anything in rebuttal. In fact, he was also shocked by what Gu Jinhe said just now, but Gao Qi reacted faster than him.

The head of the Gao family sighed. He didn't know whether this trip today was right or wrong.

But at least nothing will go wrong for now.

The head of the Gao family said, "Okay, I promise Miss Gu that the Gao family will never cooperate with the Murong family. I promise you with my position as the head of the family that the Gao family will not betray the family."

He prayed in his heart that Murong would not take action against the Gao family so quickly, and give the Gao family some time, and also give the seven major families some time. As long as the seven major families can defeat the Murong family, the Gao family can be saved.

Gu Jinhe only listened to the guarantee made by the head of the Gao family. If the Murong family really put a gun to the head of the Gao family's temple, the guarantee he made at that time would be worthless.

Fortunately, Gu Jinhe just wanted to show her attitude. On the surface, Gu Jinhe did not agree to help the Gao family, but if the Murong family really took any action, she would stop it at the first time.

Gu Jinhe just didn't want to make this matter clear, lest the Gao family offend the Murong family with impunity.

Or they say some ambiguous words outside, as if the Gu family has become the Gao family's backer.

This would give the outside world some illusion that the Gao family and the Gu family have some relationship.

What the Gao family did seemed to represent the Gu family's thoughts.

This is actually disadvantageous to the Gu family.

Since it is not good for the reputation of the Gu family, Gu Jinhe would not make any clear promises, lest the Gao family become arrogant because of this promise and do something that would harm the interests of the Gu family.

After the head of the Gao family took Gao Qi away from the Gu family, Xu Chengcai walked out from behind the screen.

Behind Gu Jinhe was a row of screens with a Jiangnan ink painting style. Long before Gu Jinhe came, Xu Cheng had been standing behind this screen.

After Gu Jinhe appeared, he did not show up either.

Xu Cheng looked at Gu Jinhe and said, "Miss, aren't you afraid that the Gao family will pretend to obey you but actually disobey you?"

They promised not to cooperate with the Murong family, but turned around and secretly contacted the Murong family, which would bring some bad effects to the current situation.

After all, the Gao family is a first-rate family. Although their influence in the capital is not as great as that of the aristocratic families, they still hold a somewhat important position.

Gu Jinhe's words just now directly stated that if the head of the Gao family chose to cooperate with the Murong family, she would deal with the Gao family first.
