Of course Mo Beihan was different. He had too many experiences!
“Mother, what about him is different? I feel that Brother Beihan is quite good!”
Qiao Yuying looked at her and said, “Mo Beihan is too calm. Compared to your Fourth Cousin, he is evidently calm and experienced. He shouldn’t have seen everything in a foreign country before, but why was he so calm?”
Gu Qingyao blinked. “Just because of that?”
Qiao Yuying nodded.
Gu Qingyao chuckled. “That’s very simple! Brother Beihan is different from us. Fourth Cousin is from the Gu family, and although the Gu family has fallen, its foundations are still there. After all, there were people to teach him from a young age, and he has seen many fine items before. You know about my hometown’s environment too. He has had vast knowledge since young, but the living conditions were very difficult as well, so in his eyes, he was initially confident that what he had heard of or seen before was the best.
“But now that he came to this foreign environment overseas, it is way beyond his expectations, and all his past self-confidence took a hit. Thus, he naturally cannot accept the situation at once.
“But Brother Beihan is different. His living conditions were tough since young and originally thought that all families were like those he had come into contact with before. But later on, with the Gu family’s guidance, he realized his limited outlook. Afterward, he went to the outside world to take a job where he experienced an even wider world and his surprise was even greater. It could be said that his growth was from continuously experiencing a new world and broadening his knowledge.
“A person like him is already used to the existence of things beyond his expectations in this world. He never believes that the world is only in the way he had seen before. To him, existence beyond his knowledge is only normal.”
Qiao Yuying was a little dazed from listening, but it seemed to make sense.
Before she could think through clearly, Gu Qingyao spoke again,
“Furthermore, Brother Beihan was extremely surprised when he found out that you are my mother. He was very worried that you would despise him and stop me from being together with him. So he did a lot of homework beforehand as he was worried that you would despise him for looking like he had not seen the world before!”
Qiao Yuying raised a brow. “Really?”
Gu Qingyao’s bright and wide eyes were very earnest. “Of course it’s true!”
Looking at her daughter’s behavior, Qiao Yuying did not pursue it further. Although she felt that there was something strange, there were many capable people in this world. For example, her daughter was exceptionally intelligent and had many talents. Hence, she should not go so far as to think that everyone should be the way that she had seen before.
Anyway, it was a good thing that her son-in-law was outstanding!
Gu Qingyao sighed in relief. Her mother was too sensitive to be able to tell that.
Gu Qingyao stayed in the Qiao House for a day. Qiao Yuying was rather happy with Gu Jinfeng’s arrival. She told the family about it as well so that they could take care of Gu Jinfeng in the future, especially when he was living near them.
As for Mo Beihan, she did not tell her family about him for the time being. She still had to observe him for a period of time. She must pass her assessment first. It was not too late to tell her family afterward.
The next day, Gu Qingyao went to look for Gu Jinfeng and Mo Beihan to bring them around to familiarize themselves with the surroundings and introduce various aspects of local life, including living habits and prices.
Only during the evening did she and Mo Beihan leave by themselves and drive to her school.
The sky was beginning to darken when they arrived!
It was still early then, and Mo Beihan liked such free time. He asked Gu Qingyao with a smile, “Where do you wish to go?”
“Hmm?”
Mo Beihan raised a brow. “It’s still early. Don’t you wish to go out and play?”
A smile emerged on Gu Qingyao’s face. There was a look of anticipation in her eyes. “Go out… and play?”
Mo Beihan patted her head with a smile in a pampering manner. “That’s right. I’ll bring you out to play. Where do you wish to go?”
