“Of course I’m praising you!”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
“Did Fourth Cousin say when exactly he’s coming back?”
Gu Jinhang thought about it. “Not exactly. He just said it’s sometime next month. He has some matters to deal with over there. He’ll come back when he’s done.”
Gu Qingyao thought about it and nodded.
Gu Jinhang looked at her and suddenly asked her earnestly, “Girl, who is that foreign man who attended your wedding? He’s been in the capital for more than a month and often comes to the Gu house to look for you. He’s still in the capital now!”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
Gu Qingyao’s head ached at the thought of him.
“He, well I guess he’s one of my mentors! He… He’s a professor of medicine. He wants me to go overseas with him and become his successor!”
Gu Jinhang: “…”
That old man had smiled kindly at Gu Qingyao during the wedding. But whenever Gu Qingyao was not around, anyone could tell that he was not to be trifled with. He was no ordinary person!
“You can’t possibly move overseas in the future, so you had better refuse him as soon as possible. Now that the Mos, Gus, Qiaos and Qins are living in the capital, you can have your way in almost anything. You don’t need to succeed him in anything.”
He knew that this younger cousin was very capable, but no matter how capable she was, to Gu Jinhang, she was still his little cousin. He did not want Gu Qingyao to have any dangerous encounters. She could do whatever she liked here in the capital, but things were different overseas!
Gu Qingyao’s head throbbed. She said, “I know. I don’t want to either! But he’s very stubborn and insists that I go with him.
“But don’t worry, Second Cousin. In the future, communication will improve, and I may not have to go overseas. Also, once the transport system has developed, traveling overseas and returning home will become much more common. You don’t have to worry about me.”
Gu Jinhang frowned. What did she mean?
The girl clearly intended to succeed him?
Of course, Gu Qingyao did not want to be a successor. But with her medical skills, she would definitely have a certain level of importance within that organization. The old man was the person in charge of it. He would keep trying to get her to join them. Otherwise, he felt that her talents would be wasted!
Gu Qingyao was still thinking of how to deal with the old man when she returned to the Mo house. Sometimes, she was quite lazy. Her life was carefree, and she had plenty of money. To be honest, she was occasionally inspired to dabble in some business and had earned a lot of money from it.
If she did not want to do it anymore, she could just rest at home. She did not lack anything.
She really did not want to manage a medical organization. It sounded exhausting.
Gu Qingyao was in a bad mood, which only worsened when she got home to hear that Mo Beihan was going overseas!
“You’re going overseas! What for? For business?”
Mo Beihan looked at his pouting wife and could not help but feel amused. “Can’t bear to leave me? Be good! I’ll come back as soon as possible.”
“Something has cropped up in the business, and I have to deal with it personally.”
Gu Qingyao rolled her eyes. “Who asked you to grow your business so much. See, now you’re so busy!”
Mo Beihan laughed. He reached out and pulled his wife onto his lap. “Can’t bear to see me leave?”
Gu Qingyao pouted and kept quiet.
Mo Beihan pinched her little nose and looked at her dotingly. “Be good and wait for me at home. If you like, you can stay in the Qiao house. Grandfather’s health… just come back frequently and keep an eye on him.
“I won’t be so busy in a couple of years, when Chengrui and Chengxu are older. Then there’s Mu Mu. It would be a waste not to put that fellow’s intelligence to good use.
“Then in the future when our children are older and can work, I’ll bring you around the world. We’ll just leave everything to the children. All right?”
