Mo Beihan smiled and said, “Who says we have to do anything if we go back? It’s where we grew up. We have many childhood memories there. Many people that we knew are still there. We could go back and visit them!
“If you really want to go back, I’ll bring you over the next few days.”
Gu Qingyao leaned against the car window and thought for a while. “Perhaps later! I’m very busy now and don’t have the time. Besides… Great-aunt’s family is still a problem. Grandma can’t possibly handle them!”
Mo Beihan’s eyes flashed coldly at the mention of them!
“I’ll deal with them.”
Gu Qingyao turned to look at him. “Is she really the Mo family’s great-aunt? Why didn’t I hear of her in my previous life?”
Mo Beihan said, “These people existed in our previous life, but at that time, I was in the capital, and I had a wide network of connections and influence. I also paid close attention to Mo family matters. Those people never crossed the threshold of the Mo house! I found out about them in advance and got rid of them. I did not permit them to join the Mo family.”
Gu Qingyao frowned. “Got rid of them? How? Aren’t they Uncle Fang’s descendants? Would Grandfather allow you to…”
Of course Gu Qingyao did not think that Mo Beihan had killed all of them. After all, they were Fang Zhenguo’s descendants. Old Master Mo would not be indifferent towards them, so Mo Beihan would not go overboard in dealing with them.
But in her previous life, she had not heard of a great-aunt.
Mo Beihan laughed coldly and his mouth twisted in a sneer. “I banished all of them and taught them a lesson. They’re not Uncle Fang’s descendants. That great-aunt is very selfish and vicious. She harmed many Mo family members in the past by reporting them.
“In my previous life, I had not managed to discover whether the old woman was responsible for Uncle Fang’s death, but she was definitely involved. I just did not have concrete evidence.
“Also, Uncle Fang passed away three years after he married her. The children are not Uncle Fang’s children. The old lady gave birth to them after she remarried, and that includes her oldest son, Zhou Haibin. The old woman was already involved with someone else when she was still married to Uncle Fang.”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
She had not expected so much drama to be involved. Old Master Mo attached great importance to the friendships of his youth. He hoped to take care of Zhenguo’s children. Grandma Mo had made herself clear. Old Master Mo cared about Fang Zhenguo, but not the current Great-aunt Mo. Gu Qingyao had not expected the truth to be like that. No wonder Mo Beihan had driven them away in his previous life.
“What should we do now? Grandma dislikes them, but she can’t say anything for Old Master’s sake. She also cherishes her friendship with Uncle Fang. But we can’t let them go on using Uncle Fang’s name to call the shots in the Mo family.
“You may not know this, but for the past few days, they’ve been going out and spending wildly. Their shopping is out of control, especially Sun Huihui and Zhou Furong. They go out all day to eat, drink and play and the Mo family pays for everything. I’ve already suppressed them, but I kept some things from Grandma, or she would be even angrier. Grandfather would be very disappointed too.”
So many things had happened in the Mo family recently that Old Master Mo had aged overnight. Old Master was a very responsible person. All his life, he had worked for the family, his children, his grandchildren, and the future generations. He had spent all his efforts in this endeavour.
He had worked so hard all his life to preserve the Mo family and their descendants so that he did not have much time to train his own son and grandson. He had always grieved over how Mo Huai and Mo Yunhao had turned out.. The incident had been a heavy blow to him.
