[Rebirth to the Future] Diplomacy

The next day was a rest day, so Gao Jingting squatted in front of Li Fujun's room early and waited.

He tossed and turned and couldn't sleep last night, thinking about it all night, and still wanted to ask what was going on with the original engagement.

He didn't dare to ask Gao Rongcheng. When he saw Gao Rongcheng, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. He only dared to nod and admit his mistake.

Grandpa Li Fujun was different. Although Li Fujun was famous for his violent temper, he was usually too kind to his grandson.Grandpa would tell him everything if he asked.

Gao Jingting walked around the door more than a dozen times, and Li Fujun finally came out.

Seeing his grandson squatting at the door, Li Fujun could probably guess what he wanted to ask.He waved his hand and said, "I'll talk about it after breakfast first."

Gao Jingting grinned doglegly and graciously prepared breakfast for Li Fujun.

Li Fujun's considerate service to his grandson was very helpful, but he still hummed twice and knocked: "Don't be so useless outside."

Gao Jingting hurriedly responded: "How can it be, only grandpa has this kind of treatment."

Li Fujun laughed and cursed a few words, and asked him to sit back and eat together.

After breakfast, it was time to get down to business. Gao Jingting asked straightforwardly: "Grandpa, I want to know what's going on with my marriage contract with Rong Pei."

Seeing his firm attitude, Li Fujun seemed to really want to know, so he didn't hide it: "What else could happen to the engagement? It was because you had an accident at that time, and your father wanted to make a good one for you quickly. It's the child of the third son of the Rong family who is about to be born. By the way, you know him too, he is the current Rong Letang. But the third son of the Rong family disagrees. Later, your father met that kid Rong Pei and thought it was suitable, so he ran away cheekily Discuss with the boss of the Rong family. Once you come and go, the marriage contract is settled like this."

Gao Jingting didn't expect that there was such an inside story here, and after connecting the things that happened over the years, he quickly figured it out: No wonder Rong's father always had a happy attitude towards his relationship with Le Tang. What his father wanted to set up for him was Le Tang.

Thinking of this, he was a little thankful to the third uncle of the Rong family. If he agreed to the marriage, then he would be completely useless.Rong Pei has always valued his family the most, if he and Le Tang are the ones who have a marriage contract, Rong Pei will definitely let him out.

Gao Jingting then asked: "Then why are you all hiding it from me?"

Li Fujun snorted through his nose, and said unhappily: "It was requested by that kid Rong Pei."

Gao Jingting clenched his fists: "Why?"

Li Fujun called up the archives from many years ago from the communicator: "I'll let you see it yourself."

Li Fujun already enjoyed extremely high authority in his early years, so he could directly record some important calls and meetings.

What he showed Gao Jingting was the video when Rong Pei visited Gao's house.

At that time, Rong Pei was still a small bean, but he already had an appearance, and his immature facial features could vaguely correspond to his current appearance.

Gao Jingting stared at the small Rong Pei on the screen in a daze, something inexplicable surged in his heart.He vaguely remembered Rong Pei when he was a child, then eight years old, nine years old, ten years old... From childhood to youth, from youth to now, Rong Pei has always been by his side.

It turned out that their fate was connected earlier.

Gao Jingting focused on the image on the wall.

In fact, Rong Pei didn't say much, and after seeing his father, he got into the topic very clearly: the first step, Rong Pei told his family's plan to go to Yunlaigang to develop; the second step, Rong Pei pointed out to his father Question: "Your son's situation is not good, you can consider letting him go out to avoid the limelight"; the third step, Rong Pei suggested to his father: "If you go to Yunlaigang, I can help you cover one or two"; fourth In the next step, Rong Pei expressed his request, "This marriage contract is harmful to your son, why not suppress it first and deal with it coldly for a while."

What he said was well-founded, thinking from the Gao family's point of view and thinking of the Gao family at all times, if he hadn't forgotten to ask the Gao family to protect their family in the end, Gao Jingting would have believed that he had the greatness of self-sacrifice and self-sacrifice Spirited up.

In connection with what Rong Pei said last time, Gao Jingting quickly discovered the subtext of Rong Pei's back then: Gao's family protected the Rong's family, and Rong Pei was responsible for taking care of him.

As for the engagement...

He really didn't intend to keep it from the beginning.

Gao Jingting clenched his fist, but soon let it go.

Rong Pei can't be blamed for this.

Didn't he just see his mind clearly recently?

I have been messing around in the past, can you blame Rong Pei for not looking up to me?

What you want, you have to fight for it yourself.

Gao Jingting secretly made up his mind.

Seeing that he seemed to have made up his mind, Li Fujun asked, "Have you made up your mind?"

Gao Jingting said, "Think it over."

Li Fujun said: "If you want to move forward, the road is not easy."

"I don't like to take easy roads." Gao Jingting said, "And Ah Pei will definitely help me."

"So sure?"

"A Pei is actually very bad at refusing."

Li Fujun snorted coldly and declined to comment.

Gao Jingting cleared his mind, and his whole body seemed to be equipped with a motor with full firepower, and he was full of energy and neatness in doing things.

Seeing this, Li Fujun felt a little complicated.

He asked Butler An to send an invitation letter to Rong Pei, and invited Rong Pei to Gao Jingting's house as a guest.

Summer is already a free season, and this day is a rest day, Rong Pei came over soon.

When he stepped into the gate of Gao's house, Gao Jingting was obediently shutting himself in the study to complete the task according to An Zhihong's instructions.

Li Fujun led Lin Jingquan to Rong Pei, staring straight at Rong Pei with sharp eyes: "My student Lin Jingquan, do you know each other?"

Looking at that attitude, Rong Pei understood what the old man was thinking. He smiled lightly, looked at Lin Jingquan and replied calmly: "We have dated before."

Lin Jingquan's face turned pale.

He thought that Li Fujun would know about himself and Rong Pei sooner or later, but he didn't expect Rong Pei to tell it himself.

—and in that gossiping, homely tone.

While he was in a daze, Rong Pei went on to say: "I have been chasing Ah Jing for a long time, and finally caught up with me. Unfortunately, with a little luck in my heart, I didn't confess to him my marriage contract with Gao Jingting, so Ah Jing broke up with me."

His magnanimity revived the anger that Li Fujun had suppressed so hard.

Rong Pei always has his own purpose in doing things, like this time he seems to be open and honest, but he is actually trying to excuse Lin Jingquan, right?Taking all the faults on himself made him want to blame Lin Jingquan for not having that stand.

very good!Really good!

It's really affectionate!

But he seems to have made a mistake, right?

The fire in Li Fujun's heart was crackling fiercely.

Rong Pei is a bad person, after admiring Li Fujun's ever-changing expression, he didn't give him a chance to explode, rolled up his sleeves and said: "It's rare that you come here, old man, I'll cook for you next time."

Li Fujun turned his face away: "There are cooks at home, who cares about you cooking?"

Rong Pei smiled lightly: "Actually, I want to make it for Ah Jing."

Li Fujun turned his head back and stared at him: "Say it again!"

Rong Pei ignored him, and found Gao Jingting's kitchen in a familiar way.

Li Fujun had never heard that he could cook, so he followed him naturally.Seeing that Rong Pei's movements were skillful and agile, he stood thoughtfully at the door of the kitchen and did not leave.

Lin Jingquan was in a complicated mood.

Rong Pei's behavior is tantamount to officially labeling their relationship as "past tense".

If Rong Pei showed a guilty conscience or flustered, Li Fujun would definitely take the opportunity to investigate to the end, but he just behaved calmly, as if that page had been completely uncovered.

——Mistakes that have been corrected can be forgiven no matter how outrageous they are.

This kind of posture can only be shown by Rong Pei.

Lin Jingquan tried her best to calm down, and stood quietly beside Li Fujun, looking at Rong Pei's busy figure.

In normal terms, no one could have imagined the appearance of Rong Pei, who was mediating between the political leaders of various parties all day long, cooking, but after seeing it, he felt that he was so suitable there.

Rong Pei is born with a dazzling light, and he will not look awkward wherever he stays - no matter what the environment is, he will always be the first thing people see at first sight, and everything else is not important at all.

For a moment, an absurd and shameful idea popped up in Lin Jingquan's mind: If he didn't choose to break up with Rong Pei on Rong Pei's birthday, but questioned Rong Pei instead, would the result be different?If it is Rong Pei, there must be a way to win...

Lin Jingquan's reason was pulled back by Li Fujun's sharp eyes.

A cold sweat broke out on his back.

Under Li Fujun's gaze, he had to look away from Rong Pei.

The mood that shouldn't be there also converges.

It was a choice made by oneself, and the consequences should be borne by oneself.

Now that you have decided to preserve your own principles, how can you think about "what if"?

The past is the past, and no one can turn back.

Lin Jingquan packed up her mood and was about to turn around and go out to the dining room to wait.

However, Gao Jingting's voice floated over at this moment: "Grandpa, brother Lin, why are you all in the kitchen?"

Seeing his grandson, Li Fujun snorted, "Watch people play."

Gao Jingting didn't pay attention to his answer because his eyes were already glued to Rong Pei.

And Rong Pei stopped when he heard that "Brother Lin".

He turned his head and glanced at Gao Jingting, then at Li Fujun, with a clear smile on his face.

Seeing that Rong Pei realized his intention to bring Lin Jingquan here, Li Fujun was a little embarrassed: "If you want to cook, do it quickly! Do you want to starve me to death by so dawdling?" After speaking, he strode away.

Without hesitation, Lin Jingquan turned around and followed her teacher out.

Gao Jingting decisively chose the latter between "going to grandpa" and "going to Apei", and naturally squeezed into the kitchen: "Apei, I will help you."

Rong Pei neither agreed nor refused.

Gao Jingting asked while washing the vegetables, "Ah Pei, do you know how to cook?"

Rong Pei said, "Yes."

Gao Jingting said, "You never told me..."

Rong Pei said lightly: "Don't you know now?"

Gao Jingting didn't like his cold tone, so he threw down the vegetables in his hand and hugged Rong Pei: "You don't tell me anything!"

Rong Pei didn't avoid it: "You were not interested in knowing such things before."

Gao Jingting hesitated.

Rong Pei's tone was devoid of any emotion, just stating the facts - just like when he said that day "I will leave you when I no longer need the Gao family".

And this is indeed true, he never cared about Rong Pei before, he didn't know what Rong Pei was doing, when Rong Pei's birthday was, let alone Rong Pei's preferences... The most important thing is , he couldn't keep up with Rong Pei's footsteps at all!

Why should he ask Rong Pei to like himself as such a jerk?

Why should he blame Rong Pei for not liking himself as such a jerk?

Gao Jingting held Rong Pei's hand with open arms, and clasped his ten fingers bit by bit: "A Pei...give me a chance, okay? Give me a chance. I will try my best to catch up with you, as long as I can become a worthy I'm willing to do anything for someone who loves you... Ah Pei, can you give me a chance?"

Rong Pei listened quietly to his promise of no money.

He is very good at sweet talk, and he is also very good at conquering people's hearts, but Gao Jingting's sincerity that is so straightforward that he almost digs out his heart is not something he can do.

——But Gao Jingting was also so sincere when pursuing Le Tang.

So-called love, what can be left after the initial enthusiasm cools down?

Invisible.

That being the case, there seems to be no hesitation.

Just coax Gao Jingting's enthusiasm over.

Rong Pei turned his head and kissed Gao Jingting's cheek, and said with a smile, "Okay."

Surprised and delighted, Gao Jingting couldn't help turning his back on the guest, and kissed Rong Pei's lips.

At this time, there was a clear cough from the door.

Rong Pei froze.

Lin Jingquan squeezed out a sentence from his throat with difficulty: "... Teacher is hungry."

Gao Jingting let go of Rong Pei, and said shamelessly, "Brother Lin, go tell grandpa, we'll be fine soon!"

Rong Pei turned his head and met Lin Jingquan's gloomy gaze.
