Everyone chatted for a while, and then Gu Qingyao saw Li Qinglang outside.
Li Qinglang’s figure was on the slender side. He was not the domineering sort. In fact, he seemed like a gentle and caring man.
The child had lived with his older sister since he was young. At that time, the Li family suffered very much in the north. When Li Qingdan married Eldest Cousin, Eldest Cousin had just been transferred to the capital. Li Qingdan naturally went with him.
In those times, the ability to return to the capital was considered a blessing from heaven. So the Li family asked them to bring Li Qinglang along. He had only been a child then.
The Gu family was not short of money. Also, Eldest Cousin truly loved this wife, so he agreed naturally.
So Li Qinglang lived with the Gu family for a fairly long time.
At that time, he was only about 10 years old. One might say that he spent the most crucial part of his youth in the Gu family.
The Gu children were educated and disciplined very strictly. He studied with them, and his grades improved. He got into the best university and had even gone overseas to study.
After Eldest Cousin trained him for a few years, he became even more outstanding.
Gu Qingyao had not seen him for a long time. He was very busy.
Now that she saw him, Gu Qingyao smiled, “What a nice boy! Looks like a caring man. When Eldest Cousin-in-law gave birth, he always helped to care for the children. He’s been very mature since young. Now that he’s grown up, he’s Eldest Cousin’s right-hand man. Wow, wow, wow! No wonder Eldest Cousin has been grooming him all these years.”
At that moment, Gu Qingyao was standing on the second floor. In the huge living room below, Eldest Cousin-in-law, Li Qingdan, was introducing Li Qinglang to many people. Judging by her actions, she was really trying to introduce him to young ladies.
Li Qingdan was mostly speaking to noblewomen. Many of them had the young girls in their family with them.
Qiao Yuying smiled, “You talk as if you’re an elderly person. He’s not much younger than you are. But you look just like those young girls in their twenties.”
Gu Qingyao was amused. “It’s true. My Beihan takes good care of me!”
Qiao Yuying: …
Qiao Yuying touched her cheek and said proudly, “Your father takes good care of me too!”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
Qiao Yuying did indeed look very young. Her grandmother from the Qiao family was a Chinese physician and was an expert in maintaining health. Qiao Yuying was her only daughter. She was naturally carefully nurtured.
Father Gu was also a Chinese physician and studied medicine for so many years. Naturally, he spent a lot of time taking care of his own wife’s health.
In the many years after returning to China, Qiao Yuying had led a blissful life. She had not aged much.
Now she looked just as she had in her 30s.
Gu Qingyao suddenly felt very content. In this life, she found her mother and had seen her parents live together in bliss. She suddenly felt very fortunate.
Qiao Yuying said, “Your eldest cousin-in-law is busy. When she’s free, I’ll ask her to speak to you.”
Gu Qingyao laughed and said, “Sure, but I don’t know many people. I can only provide consultation.”
Gu Qingyao really did not know many young girls. Or to be precise, she knew many girls, but she did not know many of them well.
As Madam Mo, she knew almost all the noblewomen and young ladies. But she was not close to many of them. Her few good friends were all older and of a different age group from Li Qinglang.
After Qiao Yuying left, Gu Qingyao stood on the second floor to look at the crowd below.
Her status was so high, and she had just given birth. She entertained the guests for a while downstairs, but she did not need to be there all the time.
