Gu Qingyao pursed her lips. "Second Cousin, are you competing with Mo Beihan?"
Gu Jinhang immediately stopped talking.
Gu Qingyao knew that her older cousins were really capable, but also very proud.
The Gu family had suffered in the years that they lived in the countryside. Although they were a wealthy family that had fallen on hard times, they had never slackened in terms of educating their children.
Their children were the best proof of that..
The younger generation of the capital's nouveau riche could not compare to them.
Her older cousins were the best among their peers.
Especially her competent Second and Fourth Cousins.
The two of them were always at the forefront.
But now there was Mo Beihan!
Mo Beihan was just too outstanding. In the past, Mo Beihan was on par with Gu Jinhang and Gu Jinfeng. But now the gap between them was gradually widening.
Actually, Gu Jinhang and Gu Jinfeng did not feel threatened because Mo Beihan had become the Mo family's oldest grandson. They only felt threatened when Gu Jinfeng gradually realized that Mo Beihan was different and wielded incredible influence overseas!
Fourth Cousin Gu Jinfeng was working so hard that he was completing his course of study faster than Gu Qingyao. He was also busy with his business. He was really working very, very hard.
They were worried that Mo Beihan would outstrip them. They were worried that if their younger cousin should be bullied by the Mo family one day, they would be unable to stand up for her.
Old Master Mo had already been grooming the Gu family over the past few years that they had lived in the capital. If they could not establish themselves under these circumstances, how confident could they be in Mo Beihan's presence?
Gu Jinfeng was overseas, and he did not know that much about Mo Beihan's affairs. But what he knew made him feel threatened. What more with what they did not know?
Gu Qingyao sighed. "Second Cousin, you and Fourth Cousin really don't need to do this."
Gu Jinhang still did not speak. As a proud man, he would not permit himself to do that.
He was not stupid. He knew how capable he was, so he must work hard to give his younger cousin sufficient assurance.
"Second Cousin, you really don't need to compete with Mo Beihan!"
Gu Jinhang immediately scowled.
Gu Qingyao hurriedly said, "I'm not saying that you're not as good as Mo Beihan, but you're different people. There's no need to compare yourselves. Brother Beihan has been overseas for three years, and he has had different encounters and been in a different environment.
"It's true that Fourth Cousin is also overseas, but people take different paths in life. When he returns to China, Fourth Cousin certainly won't be far behind Brother Beihan. It's the same for you. You just have to do your best in your own area. You will have your own sphere of influence. Why do you need to quibble over a little money?
"Mo Beihan developed his own business without any help from his family, so you feel that you have to do the same and refuse any help from the family?
"How silly! Why not use the family's resources instead of insisting on starting from scratch? Grandfather Mo also gave Brother Beihan a large sum of money when he went overseas! As for his endeavors in China, how do you know that Grandfather Mo is not helping him behind the scenes?
"He's clearly the eldest grandson of the Mo family. It's impossible for his enterprises to be completely unrelated to the Mo family.
"Even I have the help of my mother, older cousins, uncles, and Uncle Qin. Without them, I would not have my current achievements."
