Chapter 529: Quickly Stuff The Whole Cake Into My Mouth

Little Seven sat on his older brother’s lap, feeling as though he had been wronged. Although he heard her, he did not dare to say anything. He used his cream-streaked fingers to rub the place where she had just hit him.

It was pretty painful!

He pouted as a few tears fell from his eyes. He stuffed the cake into his mouth.

Gu Jinlin saw that the cream had gotten into his hair, so he carried Little Seven off for a wash.

Little Eight looked on, not daring to say a word. He glanced at his mother and stuffed the entire cake into his mouth until his cheeks bulged. He licked the cream off his fingers.

Gu Qingyao: “…”

Zhou Ping did not say anything after Gu Jinlin carried Little Seven to the toilet. She glanced at Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihan and said, “Children are disobedient and they’re always so messy. Have a seat, and I’ll go and cook.”

Gu Qingyao forced a smile. “Children are mischievous. It’ll be better in a few years when they’ve grown up a little.”

Zhou Ping did not reply. She went to the kitchen to start preparing for lunch.

Gu Qingyao glanced at Mo Beihan and shrugged.

Mo Beihan did not say a word. He lifted his teacup and took a sip.

He had gone to pour water just now and happened to be closer to the door. He had sharp ears and he heard what the neighbor said. He could also clearly see Zhou Ping’s expression through the window.

He felt that he understood Zhou Ping’s temperament a little more now.

Gu Qingyao did not sit in the living room for long. When Third Brother came back, she chatted with him for a while, then went to help out in the kitchen.

For lunch, Gu Qingyao cooked red braised pork and fish, plus another three dishes and soup. When Third Uncle got back, they opened the Maotai, and everyone sat together to eat and chat.

Besides Zhou Ping, everyone else in the family was glad that Gu Qingyao arrived.

Gu Yundong and Gu Jinlin knew that Mo Beihan was very capable. Especially Gu Jinlin. He knew that Mo Beihan had an exceptionally powerful grandfather!

But to date, he had not mentioned this to anyone.

When lunch was over, Gu Yundong and Gu Jinlin dragged Mo Beihan away for a chat. Zhou Ping went to wash the dishes, while Gu Qingyao helped the two children with their homework.

They had started school, so of course they had homework and they had to study harder.

Fortunately, Gu Qingyao paid close attention to their homework when she was here last time. At her advice, Gu Jinlin did not slacken his supervision either, so the two children were now doing very well in their studies.

They had learnt much more.

At around three o’clock in the afternoon, Mo Beihan and Gu Qingyao prepared to leave. This startled Gu Yundong and Gu Jinlin, who had been in a very good mood.

Only then did Gu Jinlin realize that his younger cousin had not brought any luggage.

“Yao Yao, are you leaving too? Where are you staying?”

Gu Qingyao smiled and replied, “I’m staying in Brother Beihan’s current house. He’s going to live in his work unit’s dormitory for a couple of days.”

Her words shocked everyone.

Zhou Ping did not react when she heard this. Who knew what she was thinking.

Gu Yundong frowned. “Why go to all that trouble? Stay here. I’ll worry about a young girl like you staying there.”

Gu Qingyao said, “It’s all right, Third Uncle. His place is nearer to the train station and the department store. I have to buy things to send to Eldest Brother! Then I’m going to Nancheng with Brother Beihan in two days. I’ll just leave my luggage at his place. It’s too much trouble to move it here.

“Anyway, the place is not far from Brother Beihan’s work unit. He just has to stay for two days in his work unit’s dormitory. I’ll buy everything that Eldest Brother wants and then head for Nancheng.”

Gu Yundong already knew that Eldest Brother had made a match. The conditions there were very harsh, and they did not have nicer things. So of course they had to help out.

He had asked Zhou Ping to prepare some things, but they had not sent them out yet!

But he was deeply displeased that Gu Qingyao was not staying with them.
