No matter what, he just needed to shower Gu Qingyao with praises!
He just needed to be more thick-skinned and have no fear of being corny. With his outstanding looks, in addition, Qiao Yuying would treat him as her son-in-law in no time!
A hideous-looking person who did this would be called vulgar and wretched, but for a suave like him, it would be exceptionally likable!
Mo Beihan possessed such observation skills. Very quickly, he realized that Qiao Yuying really liked his attractive looks, so the outcome was not surprising!
Gu Qingyao was seated between Gu Jinfeng and Qiao Yuying, while Mo Beihan, who sat opposite Gu Qingyao, sat beside Qiao Yuying.
Presently, the cousins exchanged a glance and saw a surprised expression on both their faces!
This was their first time finding out that Mo Beihan was actually so adept at conning… scratch that, coaxing people!
“Yao Yao said that the both of you grew up together. Is your family from the Qing River Brigade as well? So you moved to the capital already?” Qiao Yuying asked with a smile.
Mo Beihan replied, “Yes. I grew up there since I was young and I’m from another brigade. However, my house is very close to Yao Yao’s. When I was younger, my family situation was tougher. My elder brother passed on early and left behind two kids, so I went out to take on a job when I was over ten years old. Afterward, I found my father and was discovered by Grandfather, who brought me back to the capital.”
Qiao Yuying paused. “The capital? Your last name is Mo. Who is your father?”
Mo Beihan did not conceal. “Mo Huai!”
Qiao Yuying: …
“Your grandfather is… Old Master Mo, Mo Degang?”
The Qiao family was famous in the capital back then as well, and Qiao Yuying naturally knew of the Mo family and Mo Huai.
Mo Beihan guessed that point too and nodded. “Yes!”
He was rather nervous. His father was not a good man, and if this made Qiao Yuying repel against him, he would definitely teach both Mo Huai and Mo Yunhao a lesson once he returns.
Qiao Yuying remained silent for a while!
Anxiety crept within Mo Beihan.
Qiao Yuying mumbled, “Old Master Mo has great-grandchildren already? How old are they?”
From what Mo Beihan said, they seemed to not be young anymore. It can’t be, right? So fast?
Mo Beihan let out a sigh of relief, but he still dared not relax. “They’re in their teens and about to turn legal already!”
Qiao Yuying: …
“They’re so old already! Your Young Uncle’s kids probably are not as old!”
Although Qiao Yuying was not familiar with the Mo family, she did hear about them and the two sons of the family.
Before the Qiao family went overseas, she even knew that Mo Huai married Jiang Hongying!
Qiao Yuying took a look at Mo Beihan and instantly realized that this was the child that Mo Huai had when he was left in the countryside to train himself by Old Master and Old Madam Mo.
He probably cheated a young lady there and treated it as though nothing happened when he returned, marrying a lady from the Jiang family and showing no concern for his wife and children in the countryside.
Pfft!
She was right!
Mo Huai was an outwardly attractive but worthless person who could not do any labor. There must have been something wrong when he could actually return like a normal person after staying in the countryside for several years.
As expected, he relied on someone to take care of him!
Mo Beihan was nervous by the look on Qiao Yuying’s face. “Auntie…”
“Mother…”
Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihan called her almost at the same time.
Qiao Yuying raised a hand to interrupt them before they could even continue. “All right. I’m not close to the Mo family, but I know some things about the two sons of the Mo family. When I left the country back then, Mo Huai and Jiang Hongying were already married. I even met him when he came to the countryside back then.
“I will not involve you kids in adult matters. But Beihan! Your future days probably would not be easy. Jiang Hongying is not to be trifled with.”
