Gu Qingyao was glad that the children from both the Mo and Gu families got along well.
“Let’s go! Go downstairs and play. Dinner will be served soon. I will make some delicious food.”
Gu Yunshuang hurriedly stopped her. “You don’t need to cook. Go play with these kids. Little Six and Little Nine should be here very soon. You youngsters can go and play. I will help in the kitchen.”
The Gu family hired a helper in the kitchen who was in charge of cooking. However, there were many people tonight, and there was insufficient preparation time, so they needed someone to help them.
Gu Yunshuang stopped Gu Qingyao from going and instead told her to play with the youngsters.
Very quickly, Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle, Eldest Cousin Gu Jinhang, Second Cousin Gu Jinhang and their families came. Gu Qingyao passed them their presents, and the women were extremely delighted.
When women were gathered together, their talks always revolved around topics like clothes and shoes. There were many people in the family, and Gu Qingyao brought back the most presents for women. Meanwhile, presents for men were simple – everyone had a leather belt from an extremely luxurious brand.
Everyone from the Gu family who were in the capital had already arrived. Adding the four children from the Mo family, two large tables were set up for dinner. Everyone was in high spirits and only went to rest late at night.
Eldest Uncle and Aunt-in-law returned home. As Eldest Cousin’s kids were still young, they did not return home and instead stayed over for the night.
Fortunately, there were many rooms in Second Uncle’s place, or else it would not be able to house so many people.
The next morning, after Gu Qingyao finished breakfast, she packed up and waited for Mo Beihan to come.
Mo Beihan came over early after settling his matters. Today, he and Gu Qingyao were going to bring Mo Chengrui and his brothers to visit Jiang Yingqiu.
Ever since he came to the capital, his mother Jiang Yingqiu followed him here as well. All these years, she had been staying outside with Jiang Xun and Jiang Ping to accompany her. Now that he returned to the country after three years, it was right for him to visit his mother.
Both of them prepared their presents to bring along on their visit.
Throughout the past six years, Jiang Yingqiu changed her place of residence. It was the place that Mo Beihan changed for her three years ago when he was still in the capital.
Afterward, Mo Beihan found a small courtyard that was better than the one she lived in before, thus he simply helped her to relocate.
The two of them, with Mo Chengrui and his brothers, bought groceries on the way to Jiang Yingqiu’s small courtyard. But when they arrived, they heard sounds from the inside before they even entered.
It was the voice of a very young female. She sounded a little awkward and appeared to be saying polite words but there was something off about her tone.
Mo Beihan’s expression turned cold upon hearing that voice!
Gu Qingyao rolled her eyes too. She was in a great mood today, but who would have expected to see this woman early in the morning.
The group halted for a moment before entering the door.
Once they entered, they saw Bai Youran who was dressed extremely glamorously.
She was seated in the chair elegantly with a hint of arrogance in her expression as she spoke to Jiang Yingqiu, “Aunt, you are Beihan’s biological mother. I believe you care about him deeply. He was born in the countryside and doesn’t have a strong mother clan to support him. In such a powerful clan like the Mo family, it is really difficult for him to stride forward.
“If the Mo family was not in such great trouble three years ago, he would not have chosen to lie low by going overseas. He has already been away for more than three years now. The Mo family has long been Jiang Hongying and Mo Yunhao’s world. The mother and son are the legitimate wife and child of the Mo family. Your identity will make Beihan unable to raise his head in front of others.
“To steady himself in the Mo family, he needs someone to support him. This person must not be from an ordinary family. His mother clan has no hope already, and the only reliable option now is his wife. As long as he marries a wealthy lady from a powerful family, he will be able to reduce the distance between him and Mo Yunhao.”
