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

After walking for about ten minutes, the thick fog finally disappeared and the view suddenly became clear.

What comes into view is a majestic and solemn building not far ahead.

The tall courtyard wall covered the treetops, and a few steps led to the vermilion gate. The stone lions on both sides of the gate were extremely tall, almost two people tall.

Standing under the stone lion, you need to look up to see the chin of the lion's head.

At this time, the vermilion gate had been opened, and there was a corner door on the side. Mu Qi stood beside the gate and raised his hand to signal Gu Jinhe to go in, but he himself entered through the corner door.

Gu Jinhe and Fu Huaiyuan looked at each other and said nothing. Instead, they walked in through the gate. The two-meter-wide stone road led directly to the hall in front, and on both sides of the stone road were fountains.

A shallow layer of water ripples circulates continuously.

Gu Jinhe and Fu Huaiyuan sat down on the chairs in the hall. After Mu Qi poured tea for them, he said, "Miss Gu, please wait a moment. I will go and ask the head of the family to come over."

Gu Jinhe nodded slightly, and Mu Qi left the hall.

At this time, there were only Gu Jinhe and Fu Huaiyuan in the hall, and no one else. This was obviously the front hall for entertaining guests in the front yard. Judging from the buildings outside just now, the building area of ​​Murong's old house was definitely not small.

It may even be worse than the Gu family.

Gu Jinhe didn't know where Murong Qinghui's courtyard was, but he thought that the master's courtyard should be not far from the front hall.

The decoration style of the hall is very retro. There are four pillars on both sides of the hall, and the images carved on the pillars are dragons.

Moreover, it is a five-clawed golden dragon.

The pillars are made of the finest golden nanmu wood, and each one is almost the same size.

When Gu Jinhe thought that she would never set foot here in her life, she did not expect to come to Murong's house in this way.

It was almost like being received politely and courteously.

Gu Jinhe glanced at the tea on the table beside him without touching it. He thought that except for Mu Qi, everyone else in the Murong family should know the purpose of their trip up the mountain.

It was impossible to treat them with courtesy, and even not taking any action was beyond Gu Jinhe's expectations.

Gu Jinhe originally thought that when she arrived at Murong's house, she would be faced with a three-court trial, but that was not the case.

Apart from her and Fu Huaiyuan, there were no other members of the Murong family in the hall.

There wasn't even a servant.

Gu Jinhe didn't know whether this was the Murong family's indifference to her or their vigilance and precautions, but she knew in her heart that her visit was a complete declaration that she stood on the opposite side of the Murong family.

Even if Gu Jinhe didn't come here, the situation would be the same, but it would still be different from if she came here in person.

Even when Gu Jinhe crippled Murong Qingxuan's limbs, he had already torn his relations with the Murong family to the point of a fight to the death.

What's more, Murong Qingxuan is still in her hands now. Even if the Murong family didn't know it at the beginning, when she gave Murong Qingxuan's ten fingers to Yang Xiu, Gu Jinhe knew that this matter could definitely not be hidden from the Murong family.

What was unexpected was that no one from the Murong family came forward to negotiate with her. Even after knowing that Murong Qingxuan was in Gu Jinhe's hands, they no longer sent anyone to look for Murong Qingxuan's whereabouts.

Gu Jinhe was not sure what the Murong family's intention was. After all, Murong Qingxuan was the heir that the Murong family had carefully cultivated for thirty years. Are they going to give up like this?

Gu Jinhe couldn't guess the Murong family's intentions, and she came here with the idea of ​​knowing the reason.

At this moment, Fu Huaiyuan, who was sitting next to him, said, "Here they come."

Gu Jinhe suppressed all the emotions on her face, turned her head to look outside the door, but when she saw the person coming, she frowned.

It turned out to be really him.

As early as when he met this middle-aged man in Changqing Garden, Gu Jinhe actually had some guesses in his mind.

So when he saw the middle-aged man whom he hadn't seen for more than a year walking in from outside the door, Gu Jinhe had no other emotions except for frowning slightly.

The middle-aged man was Murong Qinghui. He was very tall and was not wearing sunglasses at this time, revealing his true face.

Gu Jinhe only saw a few similarities between his brows and Murong Qingxuan.

Murong Qingxuan looks more like someone from the Yang family.

This is also the reason why Murong Qingxuan did not doubt that Yang Xiu was his mother after seeing the photos of the Yang family.

Gu Jinhe: "Should I call you Mr. Chen or Patriarch Murong?"

When they first met in Changqing Garden, Murong Qinghui said his surname was Chen.

Murong Qinghui sat down in the main seat. Although he was tall, he did not give people a feeling that he was strong. On the contrary, he was very thin, and the flesh on his face covered his bones, but he did not look mean, but had a sense of profound elegance.

Murong Qinghui: "My mother's family name is Chen, and I have always called myself Chen to the outside world, so calling this thing is the same to me."

Gu Jinhe raised his eyes and looked at Murong Qinghui: "This is the Murong family, so I'll call you the head of the Murong family."

Murong Qinghui said, "Compared to this title, I would rather hear you call me uncle."

Gu Jinhe said calmly: "Master Murong is joking. This title is not appropriate."

Murong Qinghui looked at Gu Jinhe deeply, and said with a hint of regret in his tone: "In fact, I have always owed you an apology. For various reasons, I found you in the orphanage, but did not take you back. Instead, I found a pair of childless adoptive parents to take care of you. I just didn't expect my father to intervene in this matter, causing you to endure more than ten years of indifference and grievances."

Murong Qinghui looked at Gu Jinhe's calm expression and said, "Back then, I really wanted you to grow up in an ordinary family and enjoy the life of an ordinary person, instead of facing endless calculations and killings every day."

It’s just that things often don’t go the way people have planned, but always go in the opposite direction.

When Murong Qinghui found out about this, it was too late. Gu Jinhe had suffered cold violence for more than ten years and almost committed suicide because of it.

In a fit of rage, Murong Qinghui caused the adoptive parents to die unexpectedly.

Without the constraints of his adoptive parents, he thought that Gu Jinhe would have an easier life, so he decided to take her to a place that had been arranged for him to live after a while.

But no one expected that the Gu family would find Gu Jinhe's whereabouts so quickly and bring her back to the Gu family before Murong Qinghui took action.

It seemed that many things did not develop as Murong Qinghui had expected.

Listening to Murong Qinghui's words which were like analyzing his inner thoughts, Gu Jinhe had a blank expression on his face but was a little surprised in his heart.

She didn't expect that Murong Qinghui had this idea back then. Did he want her to be an ordinary person?

This coincides with what Gu Jinhe thought after she learned about her life experience. She would rather grow up in an ordinary family than face such a complicated life experience.
