She was right. This was a terrible specimen.
Gu Qingyao smiled. “Great-aunt, what’s wrong with what I’m wearing? It’s a new era, and young people dress differently now. The clothes I’m wearing were all bought by Beihan from overseas. If you don’t like them, I’ll let Beihan know when he gets home.”
The old woman was stunned!
Mo Beihan was the master of the Mo family now, and Gu Qingyao’s husband. The clothes he bought…
The old woman had just arrived at the Mo house and Grandma Mo had given her the cold shoulder, so she did not dare to be too domineering. She just grunted coldly. “Where are the rooms? Hurry up so we can rest.”
Their family had been traveling for a long time. Now that they had finally arrived at the Mo house, they could have a good rest!
Gu Qingyao secretly rolled her eyes. She arranged rooms for them and let them go off to rest.
When everyone’s rooms were ready, Gu Qingyao went to give orders to the kitchen. There were so many people having lunch today; of course they needed a lot more food.
The lady who worked in the kitchen had been with the Mo family for many years and obviously knew what was going on.
The moment she left the kitchen, a servant came to tell Gu Qingyao that Grandma Mo was looking for her.
Gu Qingyao went to Grandma Mo’s room.
Grandfather Mo was still sleeping soundly in the room. When Grandma Mo saw Gu Qingyao, she sighed and led her to the small sitting room next door.
“Have a seat! Dear girl, I really don’t want to deal with them, so I’m just handing them over to you. They’re very difficult. You don’t have to be too polite.”
Gu Qingyao said, “It’s no problem, Grandma. I can manage these small family matters. You don’t need to worry.”
Grandma Mo sighed. “She’s your grandfather’s half-sister who got into a bad argument with the family in the past. She was almost thrown out of the family. At first, it was because she thought she was in love with a very unsuitable man. The Mo family disapproved, but she insisted on marrying him. My in-laws were so angry they wanted to disown her.
“She only grew frightened when she saw that she would really be thrown out of the family. Then she said that she had broken up with that man. Not long after that, she got together with Fang Zhenguo. Zhenguo was a very good friend of your grandfather and his right-hand man. They were as close as brothers. That was the only reason why she wasn’t disowned.
“Then the situation grew unstable, and the Mo family was also on shaky ground. We paid a heavy price to preserve the family. Many of the family members were scattered. Firstly, to escape from danger, and secondly, for fear that we would not be able to save the Mo family and the entire line would be extinguished. Your great-aunt insisted on leaving. The Mo family was in danger, and your grandfather had no choice but to let her go.
“Later on, we lost touch. We did not expect her to return after so many years.
“It’s a pity that Zhenguo died so early, and under such tragic circumstances. When your grandfather first heard the news, he broke down and cried. He’s tired out now and has fallen asleep!”
The older one got, the more one lived in the past and grew sentimental.
The Old Master had recently received a heavy blow. Although Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihan were trying their best to cheer up the two old folks, some things just happened. The two of them were still upset over Mo Huai and his family.
Gu Qingyao did not speak. She knew that Grandma Mo was just telling her what had happened in the past so that she would be aware of the situation.
Grandma Mo continued, “You’re a clever girl. I know you can tell that your great-aunt is not an easy person to get along with. I’ll tell you frankly that her personality is unlikeable. She is domineering and arrogant.. She kicked up such a huge fuss in the past that she was almost disowned.”
