Lin Rui's parents were still worried about him.
Lin Rui had already arrived at a Jiangnan garden in the suburbs of Tianfu City.
This was not where the Gu family was located, but Gu Chenxi and the old master of the Gu family, Gu Qinghe, lived here.
Perhaps it was so that Gu Chenxi, who was suffering from a mental illness, could have a good and natural recuperation environment.
A year ago, Gu Qinghe built this Jiangnan garden here.
It was said that he had spent hundreds of millions of assets.
He himself had also moved here to accompany his most beloved granddaughter.
The rest of the Gu family did not live here.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the garden, Lin Rui felt a tense and serious atmosphere.
This was because there were not only bodyguards standing outside the garden.
There were even a few people patrolling the area.
It was conceivable that Gu Qinghe had set up this place as a secret base to protect his granddaughter.
At the same time, Gu Qinghe might have realized that the car accident involving the second son of the Gu family a year ago was not as simple as an accident.
The reason why he did this was to prevent anyone from having any ideas about his granddaughter.
Lin Rui came to the gate and revealed his identity to the bodyguards.
He requested to meet Gu Qinghe.
Compared to the Gu family, although the Lin family was much weaker in terms of financial resources, they were still considered a prestigious family.
Therefore, the identity of the young master of the Lin family was more convincing to the bodyguards.
Not long after, an old man in a Tang suit walked out of the door.
He invited Lin Rui into the Gu family's garden.
This old man was the butler of this garden. His name was Uncle Chen, and he was also a founding father who had once accompanied Gu Qinghe in the business world.
After Lin Rui was invited into the garden, he came to a living room.
Uncle Chen instructed the servants to serve some tea and snacks first.
" Young Master Lin," he said politely to Lin Rui," I just spoke to Master on the phone. Master is still handling some matters in the company and will be back later."”
"I wonder what Young Master Lin is here for today?”
Lin Rui nodded and smiled.
"It's nothing serious. I came here today mainly to see Gu Chenxi. It's fine if Grandpa Gu is not around.”
Uncle Chen's expression changed slightly when he heard this.
Obviously, Gu Chenxi's name weighed heavily in his heart.
"Young Master Lin, why did you suddenly come to visit my Miss?”
"According to what I heard, Young Master Lin seems to be discussing marriage with the young lady of the Xu family recently?”
Lin Rui's expression froze.
Lin Rui, who was familiar with the plot, naturally knew this Uncle Chen. This guy was not an ordinary person.
The Gu family's current business intelligence network was established by him back then.
Even though he was no longer in his position, he was still well-informed.
Lin Rui smiled faintly." It's said that Uncle Chen has three eyes. Two eyes are for the people around him, and the third eye is to observe all the potential competitors around the Gu family. It seems that this saying is true."”
"But Uncle Chen, what I can tell you is that just an hour ago, our old butler went to the Xu family to reject the marriage between the Lin and Xu families. I, Lin Rui, have completely given up on the idea of marrying Xu Bingbing.”
It had to be said that the polite and polite Young Master Lin in front of him seemed a little different from the Young Master Lin in Uncle Chen's memories.
The Lin and Xu families had always been the Gu family's two potential competitors.
At first, when he heard that the two families were going to marry, Uncle Chen was still a little worried. However, he suddenly heard that he was going to reject this marriage.
For a moment, Uncle Chen was really confused.
However, the matter between the Lin and Xu families was not the main point of the conversation.
Uncle Chen pondered for a while and said directly,
"Young Master Lin, as an outsider, I don't have the right to pry into your relationship with the Xu family.”
"However, you should also know about my Young Lady's situation. Old Master built this garden here in order to let Young Lady have a quiet environment to recuperate, so Young Lady has never received guests.”
Lin Rui nodded, his eyes slightly cold."Of course, I know that. However, I did not come here today to simply meet her. I wanted to see if I could wake Gu Chenxi up through my own methods.”
"What?"
"You have a way to wake up my young miss?”
Uncle Chen was probably too excited because he was looking forward to his crazy miss returning to normal.
" Uncle Chen, you might not know," Lin Rui said righteously." Perhaps even Grandpa Gu doesn't know. Actually, your Miss Gu Chenxi has been secretly in love with me since she was in kindergarten."”
"At that time, although we did not understand emotions, girls usually matured early. When I was in the upper class, Gu Chenxi would often bring me chocolate to eat. Later on, we even went to the same aristocratic primary school.”
"From then on, my relationship with your Miss gradually warmed up. We went to school together and left school together, just like a pair of childhood sweethearts.”
"But unfortunately, your young miss was admitted to a key high school, while I was sent abroad, so the relationship between us slowly faded.”
"I'm here today because I want to give it a try. I want to talk to Gu Chenxi about some interesting things in our childhood to stimulate her brain. It's said that mental disorder is mostly cured because of a small matter that touched her.”
At this point, Lin Rui took out a small conch from his pocket.
Then, she sighed softly." This little conch was a birthday present given to me by your Miss when she was ten years old. I still have it today."”
Uncle Chen heard this.
His eyes started to look dazed.
His face started to stiffen.
He thought to himself,'Good heavens, how much fake wine did he drink to make this child so narcissistic!'
