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

The piles of goldfish snow in the rose garden had long melted, and green buds had grown again on the dry branches.

Wu Lu also returned to the capital quietly.

It was at this time that the location for development was decided.

The piece of land that Gu Jinhe gave to Liu Shuya was actually the center of the development. From now on, it would become the most valuable location.

Liu Shuya was shocked at first, and she almost immediately called Gu Jinhe and asked him to return the land to her.

She said that the land was too valuable and she couldn't accept it.

But how could Gu Jinhe take back the things he had given away?

So no matter what Liu Shuya said, Gu Jinhe refused.

In the end, Liu Shuya could only propose to give half of the profits to Gu Jinhe after the land was built.

Gu Jinhe still refused.

Gu Jinhe: "Before I gave this land to you, I knew its future value. If I was greedy, I would not have given it to you in the first place."

After Liu Shuya knew that Gu Jinhe would not accept it, she could only think about repaying it as much as possible next time she had the chance.

When the treetops were gradually covered with sprouting branches, Gu Jinhe went for an outing with his calligraphy, paintings, and ink.

On a flat grassy area, Shu Mo spread a mat on the ground that could accommodate ten people, then brought out a small table and filled it with food.

Shuhua sat by the lake below the grass, staring at the lake, fishing rod in her hand. She had been sitting here for almost an hour, not to mention fish, she hadn't even caught a shrimp.

Gu Jinhe sat under a willow tree and enjoyed the breeze. She looked at the emerald green lake indifferently. From time to time, ducks popped up from the lake.

This is raised by farmers living nearby.

After Shumo packed up her things, she came to the lake. She came to Shuhua and looked at him for a while. Seeing that there was no movement on the lake, she said, "Why don't I go to the market across the street and buy some fish."

Shuhua rejected it outright: "No, no matter what you say today, I will catch a fish and let the young lady taste the fish I caught."

Seeing her persistence, Shu Mo said helplessly: "But you have been fishing for more than an hour, what did you catch?"

Shuhua still stared at the lake and said, "The most important thing for fishing is patience. Just wait."

Shu Mo's next words made her face fall.

"But it's almost noon, and I need to prepare lunch. What about the fish that Miss wants to eat?"

Shuhua hesitated for a while and said, "Well, why don't you go across the street and take a look?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shuhua felt the fishing rod in her hand move. She immediately said happily, "Wait, there's a fish on the hook!"

Shumo also saw the ripples on the lake. Just as she was expecting something, she watched Shuhua pull up a tiny fish as thick as a little finger.

Shu Mo was stunned for a moment, then she smiled. In the end, she said nothing, turned around and left to buy fish across the street.

Shuhua stared at the little fish for a while, then released it.

Then she angrily threw down her fishing rod and stood up: "I'm not going to fish anymore. All the fish in this lake have been caught."

Otherwise, why did she sit here for more than an hour and only caught a small fish?

Gu Jinhe glanced at her and said, "Give it to me and let me try."

Shuhua picked up the fishing rod and handed it to Gu Jinhe, saying, "I guess most of the big fish here have been caught, and the fish in the lake now should be newly-thrown fry."

Gu Jinhe threw the baited hook back into the lake and said softly, "It's okay. I have nothing to do anyway, so I might as well give it a try."

Shuhua stood by for a while and said, "I'm going upstairs to find something to eat. I'm a little hungry. Is there anything you'd like to eat, Miss?"

Gu Jinhe shook his head: "Go eat, no need to come over."

Shuhua looked around. There were very few people coming and going here. Most of those who came here for an outing brought their families with them. There were also a few kites hanging high in the sky, so he thought there shouldn't be any danger.

Shuhua said, "I'll go up first, and I'll come back after Sister Shumo comes back."

After Shuhua left, Gu Jinhe sat alone quietly fishing. The willow trees provided shade, and the sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, refracting on the ground in patches. A gust of wind blew by, and the willow branches swayed in the wind, and the mottled shadows of the trees on the ground also swayed.

The surface of the lake shimmered in the sunlight, and tiny fragments of light flickered, like stars falling into the lake.

"Miss Gu."

Just then a voice sounded behind Gu Jinhe.

Gu Jinhe did not move, his eyes still focused on the float on the lake, as if he did not hear the sound behind him.

Seeing that Gu Jinhe did not move, the owner of the voice raised his voice and called out again.

But Gu Jinhe still didn't respond.

"I'm calling you, didn't you hear me?" The man stood beside Gu Jinhe and asked in a questioning tone.

Gu Jinhe tilted his head to look at the person who came and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Who are you?"

"My last name is Wu. If you follow the Wu family's seniority, you should call me Aunt Wu, but if you follow the Fu family's seniority, you should call me Second Aunt."

The person who came was the second wife of the Fu family and Wu Shuran's aunt, Wu Jingrou.

The name sounds quiet and gentle, but Wu Jingrou is not a gentle person.

From the arrogant look in her eyes, it can be seen that her temper is just as Qin Yi said, not very good.

Gu Jinhe curved his lips and said, "So it's Madam Fu Er, are you here for an outing as well?"

Wu Jingrou looked at Gu Jinhe with a cold face, frowned and said, "I came here specifically to see you."

Gu Jinhe raised his eyebrows and said, "I heard that Madam Fu was under house arrest by Uncle Fu. Seeing you here today, I think the house arrest has been lifted."

Hearing this, Wu Jingrou's eyes flashed with coldness, and she said in a deep voice: "You don't seem to be curious about why I came to you."

Gu Jinhe asked, "Why did Madam Fu come to see me?"

Wu Jingrou glanced at the float floating on the lake, then looked at the fishing rod in Gu Jinhe's hand.

He sneered and said, "It seems that Miss Gu is living a good life. The Gu family is so big that it is not enough for you to mess around. You come here to fish. I heard that there is a large lotus pond at the entrance of your yard. If you really want to fish, just sit there and fish. I guarantee that you can catch any fish."

Gu Jinhe said indifferently: "If I were fishing at Gu's house, how could I have met you, Madam Fu, here?"

Wu Jingrou looked at Gu Jinhe and frowned, "Did you know I would come to see you?"

Gu Jinhe shook his head honestly and denied: "I don't know."

Wu Jingrou frowned even more tightly: "What do you mean by what you just said?"

Gu Jinhe curved his lips and said, "I just feel that the fish at home are too honest and easy to catch. It's boring to fish for them."
