This was the first time the children had been on a train. They were all very excited aside from Mo Chengrui, who appeared to be very quiet.
He had only just known his grandfather came from such a powerful family.
If he could pity the family back then, his father might not have passed away.
He did not ask his father to bring all of them to the capital or acknowledge their presence. He just needed his pity. His father and uncle were his sons. Did he ever think of how Grandma should live with two children?
Everyone suffered from starvation often in the past. The situation would have been different had he cared enough to send over some food.
But there was nothing. It was as though he never had a grandfather.
Now they had the chance to return to the Mo family and be acknowledged as part of the family due to his young uncle and great-grandfather.
Mo Chengrui pursed his lips; he loathed his grandfather.
He would have just become downtrodden if his father was too poor to raise them. However, he came from a rich family in reality. Even a meager help coming from him would have been a great help to the family.
Yet, he did not. He was cold-blooded; not once did he care about their survival.
The trip to the capital was long. Initially, the children were excited, but they gradually lost their enthusiasm. There was nothing to do on the train. For boys still at an age where they were boisterous, it was agonizing.
“You’ll be seeing your young aunt when we arrive at the capital. She’ll cook nice food for you.”
The children felt excited again after hearing what Mo Beihan said.
Young Aunt!
Their young aunt who could make the most delicious food!
This year, she had been out of their hometown most of the time, so they didn’t get to eat the food she often cooked.
Mu Mu stared at Mo Beihan and asked, “Will Young Aunt spend a few years overseas?”
Everyone: “…”
The children were depressed again.
After suffering from boredom for half a month, they finally reached the capital. Gu Qingyao came over to pick them up.
Mu Mu’s eyes brightened when he alighted from the train and saw Gu Qingyao. He immediately rushed towards her.
“Young Aunt! Young Aunt!”
The little boy’s voice was soft and sweet. Gu Qingyao smiled and stretched her arms to hug the little boy.
“Mu Mu, did you miss me?”
“Yes! I miss you so much! Every day!”
Gu Qingyao was delighted and kissed him on his cheek. Mu Mu crinkled his eyes in joy.
Gu Qingyao smiled at Mo Beihan. Her eyes were filled with love.
“Let’s go. We shall stay at my teacher’s place first and arrange a new place later.”
Gu Qingyao brought everyone towards Jiang Yiru’s house. As this was the children’s first time coming to the capital, they looked around curiously. Meanwhile, Jiang Yingqiu was a little nervous, having found the capital strange and also the fact that she might need to face that man.
Gu Qingyao carried Mu Mu and walked at the front to lead the way. Mo Beihan walked beside Jiang Yingqiu, who suddenly grabbed his arm. She wasn’t expecting her whole life to suddenly be ahead of her and so didn’t know what to expect.
Mo Beihan could sense how nervous she was. So, she stayed beside her the entire time.
When they reached Jiang Yiru’s house, both Jiang Yiru and Old Master Qin were still working. Gu Qingyao directly brought them in.
The courtyard here was bigger than the one in their hometown. The children all smiled in delight.
