Second Cousin was terrified of this younger cousin who looked so demure but was not demure at all. He even wondered if she would silence him because he knew so many of her secrets.
While Gu Qingyao was preparing to go back to China with Qiao Yuying, she did not know that even before she could leave, Mo Beihan would go and fetch someone.
Gu Yunshen hurried over, covered in dust. Mo Beihan had personally gone to meet him. The moment he saw Gu Yunshen, Mo Beihan hurried over and politely addressed him, “Father!”
His words shocked Gu Yunshen so much that he slipped and almost fell!
Mo Beihan quickly reached out to help him.
“Father, be careful, don’t fall!”
Gu Yunshen: “…”
He steadied himself and looked at Mo Beihan for a long time. “What did you address me as?”
Mo Beihan said calmly, “Father!”
“Who’s your father?” Gu Yunshen jumped.
He had not seen his darling daughter for six years, even after his wife had been found. They were about to be reunited, and this fellow was here calling him “Father”. Gu Yunshen was displeased!
Mo Beihan said earnestly, “You, of course! Yao Yao’s father is my father."
“My so-called true father abandoned me when I was young. Later, when I went to the capital, I couldn’t stand his behavior. I have never had a father. Yao Yao is my fiancée, so in the future, Yao Yao’s father will be my father. Yao Yao and I only have one father, and that’s you!”
Gu Yunshen: “…”
He looked at Mo Beihan for a long time. “Stop trying to curry favor! Hmph!”
Gu Yunshen grunted coldly and started to walk away. “Grab the bags!”
Mo Beihan looked at Gu Yunshen’s disappearing figure, and his lips twitched. He naturally picked up Gu Yunshen’s luggage and followed obediently.
The two men standing nearby were so shocked by this scene that their jaws nearly dropped to the ground. “My God, Boss is finally becoming human!”
The other man punched him. “What do you know? That’s his future father-in-law. Of course he must try to please him for his fiancée’s sake.”
The other man rubbed his chin. “Looks like we have to seek this father-in-law’s protection in the future. With him to protect us, even if we make a mistake, Boss won’t be too cruel to us.”
The other man immediately looked disdainful. “Nonsense. Of course Madam’s protection is the most useful!”
The man’s eyes brightened. “That’s right! Madam is the most important! His future father and mother-in-law all dote on Madam. Also, Boss is very obedient towards her hahaha!”
Mo Beihan led Gu Yunshen to the car and drove it himself.
Gu Yunshen examined the car. It looked very grand. He quite liked it.
“Is this your car?”
Gu Yunshen asked with some certainty because he sensed that Mo Beihan was not all that he seemed. He was certainly not the ignorant fellow that he knew back at the Qing River Brigade.
He was the Mo family’s eldest grandson when he left the country. Old Master Mo must have given him many things. When his family’s Jinfeng went overseas, the family had also prepared many things for him!
This trip overseas had been completely arranged by Mo Beihan. He had not taken the usual flight. Mo Beihan claimed that flying was inconvenient and a little dangerous, so he had arranged a different route for him.
This fellow had grown even more capable after a few years overseas!
Buying a car was par for the course!
Mo Beihan nodded. “It’s mine. Yao Yao and my mother-in-law both have a car. Sometimes I need to act as the chauffeur and send them home. It’s too inconvenient not to drive here. I can’t possibly allow Yao Yao and my mother-in-law to be inconvenienced! That would be unfilial of me as a son-in-law!”
Gu Yunshen: “…”
“Are you feeling guilty about something?”
Mo Beihan: “…”
Gu Yunshen gave Mo Beihan a smug look because he had managed to shut him up.
Mo Beihan brought Gu Yunshen to Gu Jinfeng’s residence. Gu Jinfeng was shocked when he opened the door and saw his Young Uncle.
“Young… Young Uncle?”
He looked dumbly at Mo Beihan. He did not know how to react.
Mo Beihan laughed. “Father wants to see Yao Yao and my mother-in-law, so he came over!”
Gu Jinfeng: “…”
Gu Yunshen entered and was amazed by the interior and the layout.
The Gu family used to be a wealthy family with plenty of money. The Wen family used to be very rich as well. He had seen plenty of fine things, but interior design like this, with an air of simplicity and elegance, was something else. He looked at it curiously.
When he saw Gu Yunshen looking at the house, Gu Jinfeng explained, “This house belongs to Yao Yao! She met Uncle Qin soon after she arrived. When Uncle Qin found out that she’s Madam Jiang’s disciple, he took good care of her. Uncle Qin found this house, and later on, he gave it to Yao Yao. I’m studying here, so I’ve been staying here all this while.”
Gu Yunshen nodded. Over the years, he had some news of the situation here. Besides the news that his daughter had sent him, Mo Beihan had taken the initiative to write to him as an act of “filial piety”.
“Is Yao Yao at the Qiao house now?” Gu Yunshen asked
Gu Jinfeng nodded. “Yes. Yao Yao usually stays at the Qiao House when she’s back, although she might stay here occasionally. She’s not studying here. Now that she has graduated, Young Aunt asked her to stay at the Qiao House.”
His term “Young Aunt” delighted Gu Yunshen.
