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

She didn't want to waste her time with those unimportant people.

Rather than staging a real-life version of the farmer and the snake, it would be better not to save the snake in the first place.

After breakfast, Gu Jinhe only took Xu Cheng to the courtyard where the old lady lived. As for the other people in the courtyard, Gu Jinhe planned to see them after returning.

After walking for a while, Xu Cheng looked at the slender figure in front of him and suddenly asked, "Miss, are you happy to be back at the Gu family?"

Hearing this, Gu Jinhe paused for a moment, then continued walking forward. After a while, her voice, along with the chilly morning breeze, drifted to Xu Cheng's ears.

"Returning to the Gu family was fate. It is not something I can decide. Whether I am happy or not depends on the people. Compared to those who care about me, I should be happy."

But what Xu Cheng really wanted to ask was whether Gu Jinhe was happy after returning to the Gu family. It had nothing to do with whether other people cared about her or not.

But Gu Jinhe gave him such an answer, which made Xu Cheng feel heavy in his heart. Even with the old lady's wholehearted care, Gu Jinhe still did not clearly state her answer.

Xu Cheng didn't ask any more questions, and Gu Jinhe didn't ask him why he asked this question.

About ten minutes later, Gu Jinhe and the others arrived at Qinglan Courtyard. The old butler was already waiting at the door. He looked at Gu Jinhe with a kind smile on his face and said, "The eldest lady is the first to arrive today. The old lady is drinking morning tea in the side hall. Miss, please go in quickly."

After Gu Jinhe glanced at Xu Cheng, he said to the old housekeeper, "I will not take Xu Cheng in. If you have anything to say or anything you want to tell him, you can tell him now."

After saying that, Gu Jinhe walked into the yard.

Only when Gu Jinhe's back was out of sight did the old housekeeper turn to look at his grandson and suddenly asked, "What kind of person do you think the eldest lady is?"

Xu Cheng thought back to the past few days and frowned slightly, saying, "I could feel that when I first met the young lady, her expression and tone were similar to those of an ordinary girl, but when I saw her again yesterday, I found that she had changed a lot."

"I could hardly feel her emotions. This is what I couldn't understand. She was clearly the same person, but after one night, it was as if she had suddenly become a different person."

The old housekeeper was silent for a moment, then said, "It is possible that he suddenly changed because he knew his own life experience. You don't need to think too much about it. Just follow the young lady and protect her well."

"I see"

Gu Jinhe saw the old lady sitting on a chair reading a book in the side hall. She had a thin blanket covering her legs and a pair of glasses on her face, her eyes slightly squinted behind the lenses. The early sun outside the window slowly poured into the room and shone on her cheek, as if there was golden light surrounding her body.

Although the old man is old, the pride engraved in his bones will not change.

Seeing Gu Jinhe standing at the door, the old lady put down the book in her hand and waved for her to come in.

"Why are you here so early? You must be tired yesterday. Take a good rest in the yard these few days. I will arrange for someone to teach you some courses later. As long as you pass the exam, you don't have to study anymore."

When he suddenly heard the course, Gu Jinhe couldn't help but think of the dark studies in his previous life, and his eyelashes trembled slightly.

In this life, the old lady only let her pass, but in her previous life, she got full marks and would not let her graduate even if she was one point short of that.

Gu Jinhe couldn't understand how he could know what kind of person she was just by meeting her once.

Even the degree of learning has changed?

As if she knew what she was thinking, the old lady pointed to the chair next to her and asked her to sit down.

After Gu Jinhe sat down, he took her hand and said, "I am an old man with one foot in the ground. What kind of storms have I not experienced in the past few decades?"

"You are just a child in my eyes. Even if I am not completely sure about what you are thinking, I can still be sure of 60% to 70% of it."

"I let you learn these just to make you better and more confident. In the future, when faced with doubts or accusations from others, you can face them calmly without being afraid of them."

"Life is short, but not short either. We only live for a few decades. We cannot live in confusion. We must know what we need and our limits. We must know our bottom line. Then we will not hesitate to do things in the future. Even if we are wrong, we will have the ability to think straight."

Gu Jinhe couldn't help but feel deeply moved when she heard the old lady speak in a gentle tone out of consideration for her.

In her previous life, she was very afraid of this old lady who tried so hard to make her learn this and that.

I didn't expect that when I met the old lady again in this life, she would still have such a gentle side.

In her previous life, Gu Jinhe and the old lady were not close. There was more awe between them than affection, and she had never expressed an attitude of closeness.

Now that I think about it, the old lady must have been a little sad at that time, right?

After the old lady finished speaking, she suddenly changed her tone and asked, "Why did you suddenly fall in love with your fifth aunt's bracelet yesterday?"

Gu Jinhe had long expected the old lady to ask, and had already thought of an excuse.

"I just suddenly saw it and for some reason I felt a sense of familiarity. I guess Aunt Wu must be very angry. I will go back and prepare some gifts and visit Aunt Wu in person."

The old lady took off her glasses and put them on the table beside her. Her face became slightly serious. "I said yesterday that your fifth uncle's yard is the farthest from yours. Except for the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month and dinners, there won't be many opportunities to meet. You just need to respect him. As for the rest, I won't stop you from doing anything you want."

The implication is almost like saying that there is no need to consider Ye Pingting's face. It's just a bracelet. If she wants it, what's wrong with that?

Gu Jinhe laughed when she heard this: "Grandma, you will spoil me like this."

The old lady looked at Gu Jinhe and said, "If you grew up in the Gu family, you would be more casual in front of them. They would not embarrass you as they watched you grow up. But you have been away from home for more than 20 years. It is difficult to make up for the emotional loss during this period. You cannot speak and act comfortably in front of them. If I continue to ignore you, you will be gnawed to pieces without leaving any residue."

No matter whether it was strictness or blatant favoritism, in the eyes of others it was just a manifestation of the old lady's care and attention for Gu Jinhe.

Gu Jinhe suddenly realized that not only had she missed twenty years of time to spend with other members of the Gu family, but the same was true for the old lady.

Even though he was raised by the old lady for three years when he was a child, he still missed the time when he needed to develop feelings the most.

But the old lady could favor her without hesitation after seeing her. As long as she was Gu Jinhe, the old lady would choose her and pamper her.

It has nothing to do with anything else, it’s just because she is Gu Jinhe.
