Wen Ruyu immediately smiled. “Sure, sure. We both live in the capital, so it’s convenient for him to move between our places. Our fourth son has been taking care of us for more than twenty years. Now that he’s getting married, he can stay wherever he pleases. As long as he is willing, and they live happily as a married couple, we won’t interfere.”
Old Madam Qiao was startled by how easy it was!
So there were no other problems. The wedding matters were settled very quickly.
The houses were bought in three days. There were three houses, which were adequate for their needs.
Eldest Cousin and Second Cousin were away and busy, so Qiao Yuying, Gu Qingyao and Gu Yunshen were responsible for decorating their new home.
The house was pretty nice, but they needed to add some new furniture. Besides, they were not planning to live there often. In the future, they would be spending most of their time in the Qiao family’s mansion.
After ten days or so, everything was ready.
That day, her parents were on a date, so Gu Qingyao was free to do as she pleased. This time, Bai Chi, who had been waiting for her for many days, found her.
Gu Qingyao had been in a good mood for the past few days. She was always smiling. She had been so busy for the past few days that she had neglected Mo Beihan. So Gu Qingyao had brought him some gifts to coax him.
Bai Chi blocked Gu Qingyao’s way. “Miss Gu, I haven’t seen you for a long time!”
Any man would fancy her bright, smiling face and her energy. And she was so pretty too!
Gu Qingyao’s steps halted, and she raised her brows!
Bai Chi smiled and asked, “I have something to say to you. Would it be convenient for you to stop and have a chat?”
“No!”
Bai Chi replied with a smile, “Miss Gu, why are you avoiding me? Your mother and younger sister are here in the capital looking for you. Are you aware of that?”
Gu Qingyao paused. Had Bai Youran told Bai Chi about it?
Which was why Bai Chi was threatening her?
Gu Qingyao’s interest was aroused. She was rather curious as to what Bai Chi would do.
“What do you have to say?”
Bai Chi immediately smiled. “Let’s find a quiet place and talk about it slowly. Miss Gu, I mean you no harm.”
Gu Qingyao followed him to a cafe. At that time, coffee drinking was very fashionable in the capital.
After they were seated, Bai Chi ordered a cup of the most expensive coffee and placed it in front of Gu Qingyao. He smiled, “Miss Gu, you grew up in the countryside. I believe you must have suffered greatly in the past. Now, your family is finally rich, and Miss Gu is a wealthy young lady. Miss Gu, are you satisfied with your current life?”
Gu Qingyao glanced at him. She could already tell what Bai Chi was planning!
“What are you trying to say?”
Bai Chi saw that she was not answering him, so he raised his head and glanced at her. He stopped beating around the bush and said directly, “The life of a rich young lady is nice. It would not be to your advantage to lose your current status.”
“You’re about to marry into the Mo family, which is even wealthier. Then you will really be like a phoenix that has reached the top of the branch.”
Gu Qingyao laughed. “I’m not a phoenix, and I can’t fly!”
Bai Chi paused and looked at Gu Qingyao. “Don’t you know that your mother is saying you’re not the Gu family’s daughter?”
Gu Qingyao chuckled. “You and Bai Youran are truly cousins. You’re equally stupid. So what? Do you think you can just come here and blurt out that my mother says I’m not the Gu family daughter and then you can blackmail me?
“Has your Bai Family grown so poor that it depends on its children to run scams?
“Let me tell you! Your family’s nanny told me that you and Bai Youran are not the Bai family’s children. What about that? Want to give me $20,000? When you’ve given me the money, I’ll help you keep your secret. How about that?”
