Don't think of rebirth.

Chapter 662 Threat

Standing at the door of the Xia family's old house, Gu Qinghuan was a little nervous.

When she sent the message, she felt that given their friendship, even if Xia He couldn't make time today, she should be able to make an appointment tomorrow.

So she was not worried about whether she could meet Xia He or not, it was just a matter of time.

However, she didn't expect that after Xia He replied "OK", she would arrange a car to pick her up and take her directly to the Xia family's old house!

As soon as he got out of the car, Gu Qinghuan saw Xia Suirong standing at the door.

She quickly ran up the steps: "Good morning, Grandpa. Have you had breakfast?"

Xia Suirong was very satisfied. Look at the girl, she knew how to say hello when she met him! Then look at his own grandson, he wanted to avoid him all day long!

"I've eaten, how about you?" Xia Suirong said happily.

"For breakfast, I had hand-pulled pancakes with lots of fillings," Gu Qinghuan answered loudly, "and I shared it with my dad."

Xia Suirong fell into deep thought. If he and Xia He shared breakfast...

No, although he really wanted to have a good relationship with his grandson, not to mention that he would definitely be rejected, just thinking about Xia He doing such a thing made Xia Suirong feel a little disgusted.

"As soon as I saw your expression, I knew you were thinking about something unreliable." Xia He's voice rang out.

Gu Qinghuan turned around and was about to greet Xia He, but then stopped.

She walked up to Xia He, circled around him twice, and asked with a bitter face, "How much taller have you grown?"

Xia He remained calm: "Not even 1.80 meters yet."

"How much difference?" Gu Qinghuan decided to give himself a quick death.

"0.3 centimeters." Xia He replied.

Gu Qinghuan rolled her eyes for a rare moment. The difference, including the soles of the shoes, must be about 1.8 meters!

She decided to give up worrying about such a "trivial matter" as height, and turned to help Xia Suirong into the house: "Grandpa, let's not stand here anymore, let's sit down and talk."

Although Gu Qinghuan came mainly to find Xia He, Xia Suirong was so proactive, and she had just learned that Xia Suirong had given her the privilege of the Xia family's property, so she couldn't just abandon the old man.

The three of them sat together and chatted for a while, mainly Gu Qinghuan and Xia Suirong, with Xia He only occasionally joining in a few words.

After all, Xia Suirong was the previous head of the Xia family, so he naturally knew that Gu Qinghuan came to him temporarily because he wanted Xia He's help with something.

After chatting for a while, Xia Suirong left first, using the excuse of going to the study to see the calligraphy and paintings that someone had just given him.

Xia He asked the servant to change the tea. After the servant left, she said slowly, "Tell me, what's the hurry?"

Gu Qinghuan said confidently: "Do you have something that absolutely no one knows? You won't silence me even if I tell you."

Xia He almost dropped the teacup because of his shaking hands. He put the cup down, his face full of indescribable expression: "What are you going to do?"

Gu Qinghuan said innocently, "It's nothing. I just thought that if I really had no other choice, I could still threaten you to get some benefits."

Xia He raised her eyebrows and put down the teacup.

With Gu Qinghuan's ability, he didn't think she would be in a situation where she was "really helpless".

Secondly, he did have a reckless personality in the past, but now, how could the word "silencing" be associated with him?

There are also "threat" and "benefit", the use of these two words is also interesting.

Ever since she knew his true identity, Gu Qinghuan never hesitated to help him when he needed it.

Since Xia He has the ability, all she has to do is speak up.

As for whether Xia He is willing to help, he has his own judgment, and Gu Qinghuan will not blame him for refusing to help.

As a backer, why would Xia He need Gu Qinghuan's threat before taking action?

If Jiang Chuchu knew about this, she would probably laugh at him and say, "If you can't do it, then don't do it."

The word "benefits" was even more unreasonable. At least as far as Xia He knew, all the requests Gu Qinghuan had put forward so far, even for the water bar in the office, would benefit more than just her in the end.

Xia He leaned back on the chair, placed her hands on the armrests, tapped her right index finger a few times, and looked at Gu Qinghuan thoughtfully.

Gu Qinghuan said nothing, but met Xia He's gaze calmly.

Xia He asked suddenly, "Is it inconvenient to just say it directly?"

"No, there's no need to say it." Gu Qinghuan said bluntly.

There is no need, which means there is no need to know and it is useless even if you know it.

Gu Qinghuan wanted to take advantage of his secret that absolutely no one knew about and gain benefits from him.

It's already like this, and he, the person involved, doesn't need to know?

Even if Gu Qinghuan told this secret to others and asked them to ask him for help, since he only told the secret to Gu Qinghuan, he would immediately know that the other party was someone Gu Qinghuan could trust.

With Gu Qinghuan's guarantee, how could he possibly...wait.

Xia He stopped tapping the armrest.

"A sheep," he said suddenly. "Just remember that."

"Sheep? How many did you say just now?" Gu Qinghuan was confused.

"Just a sheep." Xia He repeated patiently, "As long as you hear this, I will help you."

He didn't deliberately put emphasis on any words, but Gu Qinghuan believed he had guessed it.

"I remember." Gu Qinghuan nodded heavily, "Not only will you help me, I will also help you."

"You've helped me a lot already." Xia He picked up the teacup again. "Anything else?"

Gu Qinghuan shook his head, and Xia He laughed: "Now that we're done with the business, why don't we talk about something else - like what to eat for lunch. I think you should be very interested in this topic."

Speaking of this, Gu Qinghuan was indeed full of energy.

The chef in the Xia family's old house is more skilled than the one in Yunjinlou. The chef who specializes in serving Xia Suirong is not someone who can be hired just by spending any amount of money.

In addition, the housekeeper said that the Miss Gu who was to be entertained today was the person who made Xia He move back to the old house and Xia Suirong wait for her twice, so the chefs tried their best.

Of course, for the chefs, the sense of accomplishment reaches its peak when they see the empty plates being sent back.

Gu Qinghuan ate with envy: "Grandpa can eat such delicious food every day, it's great."

Xia Suirong was so happy to hear that he ate a little more at lunch. If Xia He hadn't exaggerated, he would have asked the housekeeper to arrange for Gu Qinghuan to have meals delivered to him every day.

Watching Gu Qinghuan get into the car and leave, Xia Suirong felt reluctant to let her go as the car drove for a distance and the hand waving goodbye stretched out from the window before retracting.

He squinted at Xia He and sighed deliberately: "Alas, the happy fruit is gone again. I don't know when he will come again. Why don't I have a grandchild like him?"

Xia He remained indifferent and simply said, "Do you have any plans for this afternoon?"

"What's the matter?" Xia Suirong didn't react for a moment.

"I'm not working overtime today anyway, so I might as well go play with you for a while." Xia He said.

"What do you mean by playing with me?" Xia Suirong was a little unhappy.

Xia He had already made her own decision: "Your legs and feet are not convenient, so why don't you go fishing? I'll be in charge of the fishing, and you'll be in charge of cheering me on."

Xia Suirong immediately shouted, "Who are you looking down on?"

He angrily called the housekeeper and went to prepare the fishing gear bag. Xia He followed slowly behind him.

Gu Qinghuan was right, it was actually quite fun to tease the elderly.
