Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Bai Chi was clearly no match for Mo Beihan. It was also clear that Mo Beihan was not prepared to give in to him. Anyone could tell what was going on.
Bai Chi glared balefully at Mo Beihan and ground his teeth. “Mo Beihan, you just wait!”
He had no choice but to talk tough and leave.
The people in the restaurant exchanged glances. An ordinary person would never dare to offend the Bai family. Some of them knew Mo Beihan, but some had no idea who he was.
After all, he had been away from the capital for three years. Some of them were not familiar with him.
.
But those who knew him also knew that he had grown up in the countryside. Old Master Mo had brought him back seven years ago. He had stayed in the capital for three years and had finally managed to gain some standing in the Mo Family when he suddenly left to study overseas.
He had been gone for three years. He had only returned last year.
The Mo family’s most senior lady, Jiang Hongying, maintained a high profile. As a result, almost everyone in the capital knew how influential she was. With a lady of the house like her, there could only be one outcome for a man like Mo Beihan, who had no background and had been away for so long – he had no influence in the Mo family!
For a person like that to dare to hit Bai Chi was truly…
Mo Beihan ignored everyone’s looks. He simply paid for the tables that had been broken and then paid for the ruined meals to be replaced. Then he brought Gu Qingyao away.
In the car, Gu Qingyao cocked her head and looked at him. “I thought you were avoiding trouble? Why such a high profile announcement that I’m your fiancée?”
Mo Beihan was driving, but he reached over to hold her hand. “I saw too many eyes looking at you. I wanted to proclaim my ownership!”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
Was that all?
She thought that this fellow had some grand scheme against the Bai family!
All that fuss for this?
Gu Qingyao left with Mo Beihan, and the dining hall in Jin Jiang Restaurant slowly returned to normal. Everyone resumed their meals and their private discussions.
Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihan did not notice, but when they were gone, two women emerged from a corner. Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing carefully emerged from a corner. Gu Ruoqing was desperately envious of Gu Qingyao’s clothes.
“Mother, it’s Gu Qingyao. It really is Gu Qingyao. She has such a good life now. We’re both daughters of the Gu family, why should she have such a good life?”
One could discern the difference between them at a glance. Especially now, as society grew more affluent and more developed.
Gu Qingyao was clearly dressed like a girl from a wealthy family.
As for Mo Beihan, his opponent looked as if he was someone powerful, but Mo Beihan had just beat him up. This proved how capable he was. He was not afraid of anyone.
The poor boy in the Qing River Brigade, whom she had dismissed, could now bring Gu Qingyao to such a luxurious restaurant for dinner. Gu Ruoqing was consumed with envy at that thought.
But Zhang Xiaohui did not seem to have heard her. Her eyes were fixed on the direction in which Bai Youran had left.
The girl’s surname was Bai, and she seemed about the same age as Gu Qingyao. More importantly, she bore some resemblance both to herself and Wang Guozhu. She might be her daughter!
At the moment, Zhang Xiaohui was incredibly excited. She had been in the capital for a while. She had not known the adoptive family and did not know much about them. She only knew that their surname was Bai and that they lived in the capital. She still remembered what the woman she had met so long ago looked like.
This Bai Youran might really be her daughter.
She just had to confirm that the adoptive mother was the one she had met in the past. Then she would be sure!
