Gu Qingyao was somewhat worried. With the Gu family’s background, they could not afford to offend someone with a good background. If anything happened, the first to be affected would be the Gu family.
Third Uncle lived here…
When he saw Gu Qingyao’s anxious look, Mo Beihan knew what she was worried about. With his current abilities, he might not be able to deal with the Zhang Family, even with the help of the Ji family.
Otherwise, that Zhang Qiang would not dare to behave so boldly towards Ji Mingyue.
But… he had other methods!
When they entered the house, Mo Beihan saw that she still looked very worried, so he tugged at her. “Can you please trust me? I know this man. I guarantee you won’t be affected.”
Gu Qingyao pursed her lips. “You only mentioned us. What about yourself?”
Mo Beihan’s job was equally important.
He had worked hard for many years to attain his current position.
Although he was the eldest grandson of the capital’s Mo family, the latter had not yet discovered Mo Beihan. He could not use that connection yet!
Mo Beihan beamed. “You’re so concerned about me? I’ll definitely be all right!”
Gu Qingyao did not say anything. Mo Beihan patted her hand and smiled at her dotingly. “All right, go and take a bath. I’ll stay until your older cousin and third uncle are back. I need to discuss something with them.”
Gu Qingyao knew she could not help in this matter, so she had no choice but to agree.
She went to her room to get a change of clothes. When she emerged, Zhou Ping was just exiting the toilet. She had heard Mo Beihan’s voice and knew that he had brought Gu Qingyao home.
Mo Beihan greeted her and Zhou Ping grunted at him, but did not say anything else.
She was indifferent towards Mo Beihan. Although Mo Beihan was very famous among the Southern Lake Brigade and the Qing River Brigade and was considered an outstanding youth, Zhou Ping did not think much of him.
He was just a village boy.
He might have some ability, but she did not find him impressive. He could not compare to the young men of the city.
In particular, Zhou Ping thought he was foolish to treat Gu Qingyao so well.
The two children came out and smiled warmly when they saw Mo Beihan.
“Elder Brother Mo!”
Mo Beihan stayed and Zhou Ping looked at him with suspicion. Mo Beihan smiled and said, “I have something to discuss with Jinlin and Third Uncle.”
Zhou Ping did not inquire further. She went to her bedroom and applied cold cream on her face. Then she remained in her room.
Gu Jinlin and Gu Yundong returned shortly after Gu Qingyao was done with her bath.
They spoke in the living room.
Gu Jinlin and Gu Yundong were very angry when they found out that Zhang Qiang had designs on Gu Qingyao.
“That bastard has overreached himself!” Gu Jinlin was enraged. They had always lived here and this Zhang Qiang frequented the area, so of course he knew what kind of man he was.
Mo Beihan said, “This is not the time to quibble over these things. My guess is that Zhang Qiang won’t let things go. If we aren’t prepared, we’ll be in trouble.”
Gu Yundong frowned. “The Zhang family is too powerful, even the Ji family can’t deal with them. This… is a little tricky. We must completely shatter the Zhang family, or there will be trouble in the future. But that is no easy matter!”
Gu Jinlin’s expression was ugly.
Mo Beihan stayed for an hour. Before he left, he popped in to visit Gu Qingyao. “Don’t worry. I have a plan to deal with him. Have a good sleep. Be careful the next time you go out. If you need to go anywhere, let me know and I’ll bring you.”
Gu Qingyao nodded obediently. “Mhm.”
