Of course, Gu Qingyao understood. She didn’t want to make such a good marriage for Sun Mei anyway. She had no intention of allowing her to enjoy her life after marriage.
For Gu Qingyao, it was ideal that this family was about to be transferred. It was best for Sun Mei to move far away. People like her who were persistent, bigoted, and desperately selfish should just stay far away from her family.
Now Wang Jie claimed that his son was his older brother’s son, but the locals definitely knew the truth. They only said that because they were looking for a match.
As for Sun Mei, ah!
The Gu family was not obliged to carefully investigate the groom’s situation. When she meets Wang Jie, she could decide for herself whether to marry him.
“What about Wang Jie’s former wife?” Gu Qingyao asked.
Mo Beihan replied, “She died of an illness four years ago. When she gave birth, she suffered some after-effects and didn’t take care of her health after that. She passed away from an illness. For the past few years, her family forbade Wang Jie from marrying again. They did not want him to have another child so soon for fear of affecting their grandson’s standing in the family.
“Also, Wang Jie’s father-in-law was only promoted to his position as deputy director two years ago. Only then did he grow increasingly arrogant, and insist that Wang Jie find a village girl with no support or skills. He did not stipulate this in the past. He only asked Wang Jie to wait a few years before marrying again.”
Now Gu Qingyao understood.
Mo Beihan left after eating with the Gu family, and Gu Qingyao walked with him.
Gu Qingyao felt rather puzzled as she looked at Mo Beihan. He seemed to be withholding something.
“Brother Beihan, my older cousins don’t seem to know this Wang Jie. You found him, right? Is there something you want to tell me?”
Mo Beihan glanced at her. He knew Yao Yao was a kind and peace-loving little girl. In her previous life, she had been a delicate girl that her family had doted on. She was gentle, quiet and reserved.
She was like a precious bloom. She did not have to strive for anything. If she wanted something, her family would present it to her to make her happy. She had been cherished and adored since she was young.
Under these circumstances, Yao Yao had developed a gentle and kind character. She was a peace-lover and disliked making trouble. She just wanted to lead a peaceful life.
Together with her previous life’s experience, she had become rather sensitive and cautious!
But he was different. In his previous life, he was powerful and enjoyed a high position. He had fought all his life. He paid back all his grudges and he did so… ruthlessly!
Mo Beihan said, “Yao Yao, if I cause Sun Mei to suffer too terribly, will you be afraid of me?”
In his previous life, Yao Yao had not known about his ruthless deeds. She had always lived under the protection of her family.
Gu Qingyao was taken aback, then immediately smiled!
“Brother Beihan, do you think I’m still the timid Gu Qingyao of the past?”
Mo Beihan was silent.
Gu Qingyao pressed closer to him and cocked her head. “You’re used to sheltering me in our previous life. You assume that I think of you as a sweet and gentle family man. You’re afraid that if I discover you’re actually a villain, I will dislike you. Right?”
Mo Beihan was silent.
You are the most precious thing to me. Of course I don’t want you to think I’m a villain!
Gu Qingyao giggled when she saw his expression. She reached out and held his large palm in both her hands. She said smilingly, “It’s better to be bad! I like you when you’re naughty!”
Mo Beihan was shocked!
Gu Qingyao smiled, “You can be bad to any other woman, as long as you are good to me. I don’t need you to be so gentle and kind, or act gallantly towards other girls! You’re mine; you can only be good to me!”
