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

Hearing Gu Jinhe's words, the old lady's expression paused. She slowly turned her head and looked over, with a hint of surprise in her tone: "Are you comforting me?"

This was the only time in such a long time that Gu Jinhe spoke to her so calmly.

This made the old lady think so.

Gu Jinhe neither admitted nor denied it, her fingers rubbed the photo album unconsciously.

In the old lady's era, she and Murong Qinglan were the protagonists, and no matter what decision she made, it was her business.

As a later comer, it seems that she has no right to judge anything if she is not the person involved or the victim.

It is possible that you will even feel sorry for this tragic love story.

It’s just a pity that she was a victim of the follow-up incident.

There is no regret in this love story.

The old lady did not feel discouraged when she did not get a response from Gu Jinhe. She turned her attention to the dust cloth in the room.

"Everything in this room was given to me by your grandfather."

"I have kept them till now and never let anyone touch them."

Gu Jinhe looked up at the dust cloth in the corner. Judging from its size and shape, it seemed to be a piano.

Sure enough, the old lady pointed to that place and said, "That was the first gift he gave me. It was a piano. He said I looked the best when I played the piano."

Then the old lady pointed to something on the other side and said, "There's a drum set in there. I was rebellious at the time and liked to tinker with these things. He saw that I liked it, so he gave me one."

"But after he gave it to me, I rarely used it. Maybe I couldn't bear to part with it."

Next, the old lady introduced all the things in the room. There were many kinds of things, ranging from a piano to a bottle of perfume and a box of lip gloss. There were more than twenty kinds of these things in total.

Although he couldn't see the entire thing, Gu Jinhe could imagine that the old lady and grandfather must have been very happy when they gave these things to her.

Before leaving, the old lady gave the photo album to Gu Jinhe: "I have been looking at this album for decades. It's long enough."

"I gave you his photo not because I want you to forgive the decision I made back then, but because I want there to be one more person in this world who still remembers him. You are his only relative left in this world, and I think you have the right to remember what he looked like."

So when he left, Gu Jinhe left Qinglanyuan holding the photo album.

The rain outside had subsided, and the drizzle falling on the tips of my hair felt like a frost.

The old housekeeper had been guarding the door. When he saw Gu Jinhe come out, he immediately opened the umbrella in his hand and walked to Gu Jinhe's side to shield her from the drizzle in the sky.

As they got closer, the old butler naturally saw what Gu Jinhe was holding. He was stunned, but said nothing. He silently sent Gu Jinhe to the gate of the courtyard, thinking that Gu Jinhe would leave directly.

Unexpectedly, Gu Jinhe did not leave immediately, but turned his head to look at the old housekeeper and asked, "Does the old lady often go to that room?"

Gu Jinhe noticed that although there was a dust cloth in the room, it was spotless, and it was obvious that someone cleaned it regularly.

The old housekeeper stood half a step behind Gu Jinhe at the gate of the courtyard, his eyes slightly lowered as he spoke: "For many years, the old lady did not allow anyone to enter that room. Sometimes the old lady would sit quietly in it for a whole day. The old lady cleaned the room herself, and she didn't want others to touch the things in it."

Gu Jinhe looked down at the album in her hand, and for some reason she suddenly felt a little sad. For decades, the old lady had been guarding that room full of things, looking after the Gu family alone, and having to endure the pain of losing her husband and son.

Gu Jinhe's lips suddenly curled up into a bitter smile. He must be very tired after bearing so much in his heart.

But judging from the attitudes of Gu Jinkuan and Gu Jinrong, the old lady has never shown her vulnerable side in front of others.

She has always been strict and self-disciplined in guarding the Gu family. No matter how bitter or painful her heart was, she never backed down.

Several thoughts flashed through Gu Jinhe's mind at once. She had always thought that she was a victim, but now that she thought about it, wasn't the old lady also a victim?

The old lady is also bearing the consequences for the decisions she has made, and precisely because she is bearing the consequences, she will not regret it.

If you regret it, all these years of persistence will become a joke.

Gu Jinhe sighed deeply. She raised her hand to take the umbrella handle from the old housekeeper and whispered, "Do you know where his grave is?"

It only took the old butler a moment to understand whose tomb Gu Jinhe was asking about.

"Evergreen Garden."

The sky finally cleared up the next day, and Gu Jinhe left the Gu family early in the morning.

It takes a long flight of stairs to reach the cemetery in Changqing Garden. Gu Jinhe walked up step by step, holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand.

On both sides are tombstones that are gradually receding. Looking around, the scenery here is beautiful and the trees are lush, but apart from the tombstones, it is desolate.

The black leather boots made a slight sound as they stepped on the stone steps. The bodyguards were standing on the flat ground below and did not come up.

After walking for about ten minutes, Gu Jinhe stopped in front of a tombstone.

There were simply a few words engraved on the tombstone: "Murong Qinglan's Tomb", but there was not even a photo.

Gu Jinhe slowly squatted down and placed the flowers in her hand in front of the tombstone, then looked up at the words on the tombstone, feeling an indescribable complex emotion in her heart.

She suddenly had a strong urge to confide in someone and tell him all the secrets buried in her heart. She had been holding it in for the past few years, and there were so many things going on that she was almost suffocating.

Gu Jinhe said softly: "Grandpa, I am Jinhe, and I am also the granddaughter you have never met."

"I'm sorry I didn't come to see you until now."

"Grandma misses you very much. She has been carefully keeping the things you gave her. She cherishes them very much."

"Because these things were given to her by you, she couldn't bear to throw them away, and she didn't want to throw them away."

"Now that I think about it, when you passed away, she also lost half her life. I don't know who owes whom now."

"In a little over a year, I will be 28 years old. As a member of the Mu family, you should know what this means."

"Over the years, grandma has done a lot for my father and me. She was determined to fight for a smooth path for my father and me, a path that would lead us to the end."

"Although all this was her decision, as the person who accepted it, I don't seem to have the right to blame her for anything."

"Now the seven great families have come together again to fight against the Murong family. Grandma said that the Murong family is not so easy to deal with. She is very worried about whether I can survive after more than a year."

"But she doesn't know that I've already died once. I died after my 28th birthday. I was shot through the heart."
