Chapter 492

It was dark by the time Gu Qingyao got home. Mo Beihan was not yet back.

She ate simply, then continued with her business. She made a phone call.

A girl answered the call. Gu Qingyao said, “The contract has been signed. You may proceed.”

The voice sounded very excited. “Boss, you’re amazing. Working for you indeed brings many benefits hahaha!”

Gu Qingyao ignored her excitement and hung up.

It was late, and Gu Qingyao went to rest.

Mo Beihan only appeared in the house past midnight. He opened the bedroom door, but when he saw that the slight figure on the bed was already asleep, he walked to the bathroom softly.

He bathed and put on a clean pair of pajamas before he lay down next to Gu Qingyao. She rolled into his embrace.

Mo Beihan paused and hugged her. “It’s all right, go to sleep!”

The next morning, Gu Qingyao got up a little earlier than usual. She went to pick up yesterday’s laundry and saw some bloodstains on the sleeve of Mo Beihan’s white shirt.

She looked at it in silence for a while, then got rid of the shirt.

It had been stained with blood, of course he could not wear it anymore.

When Mo Beihan got up, Gu Qingyao was drawing downstairs.

Gu Qingyao smiled when she saw him. “Are you awake? Come and have some breakfast.”

She had already prepared breakfast. When Mo Beihan came downstairs, she put her draft aside and brought the breakfast out.

Their breakfast portion was not large, but it was very sumptuous.

Gu Qingyao handed Mo Beihan a pair of chopsticks and said, “The sleeve of the shirt you wore yesterday was stained with blood, so I got rid of it. You can’t wear it any longer.”

Mo Beihan’s hand, which was holding the chopsticks, paused in midair. He raised his head to look at her.

Gu Qingyao: “You are not allowed to do anything dangerous.”

Mo Beihan smiled. “Yes, ma’am!”

Gu Qingyao glared at him.

Mo Beihan had no lessons in the morning, but he had to go out anyway. It was not yet time for Gu Qingyao’s lessons, so she remained at home.

Mo Beihan had just left when the phone in the living room rang.

Gu Qingyao picked it up. “Second Cousin!”

The man on the other end sounded extremely gentle. “Younger cousin! How many designs do you have?”

Gu Qingyao pursed her lips. This Second Cousin was obsessed with money. She had made money for him, so he increasingly fawned on her.

“I’m almost done. I’ll bring them to you when I come home this weekend.”

Second Cousin was very excited. In fact, he was delighted.

“I say, Younger Cousin, you really are like a fortune charm. Recently, Eldest Brother has been looking at me resentfully. I feel good every time I see his expression. Hahaha!”

Eldest Cousin was in electronics. Gu Qingyao had not dabbled in that before. For the past few years, besides running her own business, she spent the rest of her time working with her Second Cousin.

His business was luxury items, mostly fashion designs, cosmetics, and perfumes. These were all Gu Qingyao’s specialties in her previous life, so it was easier for her to work on these.

Over the past few years, Second Cousin’s business had gone from strength to strength, mainly because of Gu Qingyao. The other cousins all knew about it. In the past, Eldest Cousin had been the leader, but now his position had grown precarious. So his expression had grown resentful!

Gu Qingyao rolled her eyes. “Don’t be so smug. Who says I don’t know anything about Eldest Cousin’s business?”

Second Cousin’s laugh died. After a long pause, he said in terror, “Younger Cousin, don’t frighten me!”

His younger cousin was much younger than them, but her medical skills were exceptional. Old Madam was always praising her. Over the past few years, the cousins had personally witnessed her begin to see her own patients. Since then, her consultation fees had grown with her reputation.

Later on, she often gave them designs. The girl could design anything, be it clothes or jewelry. She was now very famous in design circles.

But at the moment, her status was not public. Only the cousins knew about it.

She had developed his company’s new cosmetics and perfumes. Not all of them, but the best-selling ones were all from her.

His younger cousin had asked him to keep it a secret. She said that their grandmother would be upset if she found out that Gu Qingyao had been “neglecting” medicine to do business instead.

He thought that if his grandmother found out that he had involved his younger cousin in business, she would certainly beat him up, so he kept the secret.

In his eyes, his younger cousin could do anything. Now she was telling him she even understood electronics. She was driving him crazy!

Gu Qingyao chuckled. “So! You had better maintain a low profile and not bully Eldest Cousin!”

Second Cousin: “…”

Second Cousin’s fawning voice immediately came over the phone. “Sister! I would never dare to compete with Eldest Brother! He is so competent, able and decisive. His business is growing. The whole family says he is the most outstanding of us all!"

“What are my small achievements compared to Eldest Brother! Younger Cousin, you must help me. I’m so stupid that, without you, Eldest Brother will leave me in the dust, wu wu wu…”
