Bai Youran giggled. She was rather smug that Jiang Hongying wanted her to marry her son to increase his chances of being the successor.
But at the same time, she was rather displeased that she was being used. If he could not even beat a village boy, then he was certainly useless.
“Mother, let’s not talk about these boring things. I just want to get better. If this continues, others will think that I’m seriously ill!”
Zheng Min snapped out of her reverie and said, “Right, right, right. You should just take care of yourself. From Jiang Yiru’s tone, I think that you will soon be able to go out and resume your activities. That will stop any rumors.”
Bai Youran did not pay much attention to the Mo family’s news. She did not say anything else. She felt that her mother had done the right thing.
The Mo family’s status was special, and it was best not to burn her bridges. If Mo Yunhao became the Mo family’s successor, then it might be a good choice to marry him.
…
Bai Youran considered Mo Yunhao to be a spare tire, but Jiang Hongying was infuriated by her rejection.
She returned home with a stormy expression. Beside her, Mo Yunhao was still asking eagerly, “Mother, say something! Has the Bai family agreed to our marriage? Hurry up and tell me!”
Old Master Mo and Old Madam Mo were not home that day, and the entire house was quiet. Mo Yunhao was anxious, so he spoke without inhibitions.
Jiang Hongying’s expression was especially ugly. She went upstairs and Mo Yunhao followed her.
“Mother, say something! I just saw Youran at the door. She’s really, really pretty. No other woman in the capital can compare to her!”
They entered a room as they spoke.
At that moment, Mo Beihan was ascending from another corridor, and he raised his brows as he watched them disappear into a room.
Jiang Hongying wanted Mo Yunhao to marry Bai Youran?
Wonderful!
He disliked Bai Youran. In their previous life, this woman had continually bullied Yao Yao. In the end, both he and Yao Yao had died because of her. He thought that a woman like that was better off dead.
But he had not yet established himself in the capital and did not have sufficient influence, which was why he could not simply attack Bai Youran, who was the pampered daughter of the Bai Family. Otherwise, he would certainly find a way to kill her.
As for Mo Yunhao and Jiang Hongying, he would not hold back either.
He knew that in their previous life, these two had harmed Yao Yao in many ways. Perhaps he would let them live for the sake of his grandparents, but…
Mo Beihan’s eyes turned icy. He certainly would not allow them to have an easy life either.
The Jiang family must be destroyed. They had no place in the future Mo family!
In his previous life, Mo Yunhao had seemed rather fond of Bai Youran. But in his previous life, Mo Beihan did not return to the Mo family until much later, and Mo Yunhao had not interacted much with Bai Youran. In this life, he had returned earlier. Jiang Hongying felt threatened and was trying to find Mo Yunhao a wife from a powerful family. Bai Youran was certainly a good choice.
Mo Beihan’s lips curved in an icy smile. Should he… help Mo Yunhao?
Help him to marry Bai Youran, then… force them both to leave the Mo family?
Time flew by and soon, summer ended and autumn arrived.
In the Gu family, Second Uncle’s family moved to the capital without incident!
Old Master Mo and Mo Beihan had planned this for a long time. Finally, Gu Yuncheng and his family arrived at the capital that autumn.
Second Uncle had been promoted again and so had his eldest son, Gu Jinhang. Fourth Brother, Gu Jinfeng, and Second Aunt, Qin Min’s positions remained unchanged.
