Old Master Bai nodded. “It’s possible. I know that Old Mo. He’s very sharp. If Mo Beihan really is the one behind this, he would certainly have erased all traces. We would never be able to tell.”
In this way, the Bai family temporarily stopped suspecting Mo Beihan and turned their suspicions on another wealthy family.
In his last life, Mo Beihan had dealt with these people from the Bai family all his life. He knew them very well, which was why he waited until now to act against them. On one hand, it gave the Gu family sufficient time to grow, and on the other hand, he wanted to avoid the special circumstances that prevailed a few years ago.
Under those circumstances, none of the other wealthy families wanted to get into trouble. Just getting by peacefully was a victory.
But things were different now. Society was developing more quickly; it was transforming into the world he was familiar with. The Gu family had started to prosper, and with the Qiao and Qin Families back to support him, he could act now.
The Bai family cast their suspicions on another family. He also meddled a little to ensure that the Bai family’s misfortune continued.
With Bai Youran and Zhang Xiaohui dealt with, Gu Qingyao relaxed completely. Although the two of them had not affected her life much in the past, because of her previous life, she always felt somewhat worried about them.
Now she had no more worries!
Autumn was beginning. Ji Mingyue and Gu Jinhang’s wedding was fast approaching. The entire Gu family was delighted when they found out about it.
Crafty Second Cousin had always been rather distant towards everyone. At his age, he had not taken a fancy to any girl. Now that he had found someone and was going to marry her, Second Uncle Gu in particular was wild with delight.
It had not been easy for him to have this son. At least he did not need to worry that his son would be a bachelor.
But Ji Mingzhe grew depressed. Up until now, he could not forgive Gu Jinhang for tricking him. He had believed Gu Jinhang and trusted him implicitly!
But what happened?
That bastard had snatched his younger sister away, right under his nose!
But Ji Mingyue was completely mesmerized by Gu Jinhang. She repeatedly warned her older brother not to bully her future husband. Gu Qingyao heard that Ji family’s brothers hated her Second Cousin but did not dare to do anything about it.
It amused Gu Qingyao to no end.
Now she heard amusing things about Ji Mingyue and Gu Jinhang every day. She almost laughed herself sick!
That day, Gu Qingyao was having fun at the Gu house when her Second Cousin happened to come home. When she saw that he was smiling, Gu Qingyao asked cheerfully, “Why are you smiling, Second Cousin? What has made you so happy?”
Gu Jinhang put aside his coat and came to sit down next to Gu Qingyao.
There was a plate of fruits on the table in front of Gu Qingyao. Gu Jinhang saw it and popped a grape into his mouth. He said happily, “I went to look at houses. When I marry your cousin-in-law, I’ll bring her there to stay often. Oh, by the way, is it fun in the south? I haven’t had a holiday for many years. Since I happen to be a student now, I have plenty of time. I should bring your cousin-in-law for our honeymoon.”
Gu Jinhang and the rest had seized the opportunity to go to university. They had not yet graduated!
But he held a high position in the Gu family and was still busy with family matters. So he was not as free as he thought he would be.
He did not have to go to school every day, so it was possible for him to take some time off.
Gu Qingyao said with a smile, “The south is definitely more prosperous. The markets there are more open. You should visit Hong Kong if you have the time. It’s booming. Mingyue probably won’t want to come back after she visits it..”
