The cousins did not know that not only should they not underestimate their younger cousin!
Within a few years of her return, they would be thinking of ways to depend on her.
Mo Beihan looked thoughtfully at them and smiled. “It’s still early and you have plenty of time to carefully consider it. Think about all those old folks at the Qing River Brigade. Many of them are so capable. In the future… they may be reinstated. Jiang Yiru is an example.
“Perhaps you can take them into consideration when you think about what you want to do in the future. Business, medicine, research — there are talented people in every profession. It is difficult to achieve anything great by yourself. But if the uncles, especially Second Uncle, can advance a little further and the Gu family has a clan to protect it, then things will be different.”
They were all intelligent people. Mo Beihan knew he did not have to say anything too concrete. They were so capable that he only had to drop them a hint. Then the Gu family would advance even faster than in his previous life.
Mo Beihan did not linger after he had finished speaking but stood up and said his goodbyes.
When he reached the doorway, Gu Jinfeng called out to him, “Can you be a little more concrete?”
Gu Jinfeng had a nimble brain. He longed to be free to do what he wanted, but the current circumstances did not permit it.
When he heard Mo Beihan’s words, he immediately had some ideas. He just had to wait for the opportunity.
He longed to know whether Mo Beihan had gotten wind of something.
This fellow was the Mo family’s eldest grandson. He certainly knew more than them.
Mo Beihan turned and leaned against the door frame with his arms crossed. He laughed. “Older Brothers, you are so intelligent. I’m sure you will figure it out.”
Gu Jinfeng: “…”
Mo Beihan’s last words before he left were, “Study hard.”
Gu Jinfeng and Gu Jinhang ground their teeth as they looked at Mo Beihan’s vanishing figure!
Gu Jinye said, “That fellow likes to talk mysteriously. My fists itch when I look at him. Shall we give him a beating?”
Gu Jinfeng: “…”
Gu Jinhang: “…”
They looked at their eldest cousin in shock.
They considered themselves to be bad people who acted viciously. It was not surprising for them to think about bad things like beating someone up. But it shocked them to hear their upright Eldest Cousin talking like that!
Gu Jinye looked at them. “Why are you staring at me? Anyway, Yao Yao is not in China. Even if we beat him up, he can’t complain.”
Gu Jinfeng: “…”
Gu Jinhang: “…”
Eldest Cousin, you’ve become wicked!
At the end of autumn, Gu Jinye and Li Qingdan finally got married. The ceremony was conducted in the capital. The Li family lived too far away, and winter came early in the north. It would take them too long to travel to the capital and back, and by the time they got back, it would be too cold.
So the Li family parents did not come. Only an older cousin attended the wedding.
On the Gu family’s side, Gu Chonghua and Wen Ruyu did not come either. Their status was special, so they did not travel but remained at home. Gu Yunshuang stayed behind to take care of them.
Gu Yunshen brought the children to attend the wedding. Little Six and Little Nine finally saw their parents.
Gu Fangting came too, and her uncles were all here. Gu Fangting was the family’s granddaughter, after all. Although the Gu family was used to doting on Gu Qingyao, she was a girl, too, and the family cherished her.
Gu Fangting had always lived in their hometown and never traveled far. This time, Gu Yunshen brought her along to expand her horizons.
