Chapter 1341: Mo Beihan Arrives
Then they might be able to form an alliance to oppose the Mo family.
Yang s.h.i.+yun looked at Gu Qingyao. She thought that Gu Qingyao might not understand the implications. Gu Qingyao glanced at her. She really could not be bothered with a person like that.
She was not shocked to meet a person like Yang s.h.i.+yun. In fact, there were plenty of such people in this era.
The economy was booming, and things were opening up. There was now a pioneering batch of people who had been exposed to external culture. The Yang family was not considered to be a well-established family. Practically none of their ancestors had any background to speak of. But in this era, they had become a wealthy family.
But their family members just could not compare in terms of quality and experience.
These young people had poor temperaments, but they had scrabbled up the ladder. Their experience of making a fortune had gone to their heads. They thought they were incredible. They were extremely arrogant. They had grandiose ambitions but little talent!
Gu Qingyao laughed coldly and said, “Everyone wants to ingratiate themselves with the Chu family? Including your Yang family?”
Yang s.h.i.+yun: “…”‘
She did not dare to speak.
Gu Qingyao did not say anymore. Mo Yang had been having a good time with Chu Yue and Chu Zheng, but these two had spoiled the fun. He was displeased. “Mother, let’s go! I don’t want to eat anymore!”
“Yue Yue, I’ll bring you to my house and find something fun for you.”
Chu Yue was very obedient. She nodded. “Um!”
She disliked these two women. They were so frightening!
Gu Qingyao was about to bring the children away, but Yang s.h.i.+yun panicked. “Don’t go. Madam, why are you in such a hurry to leave? The desserts here are very nice. Mo Yang, have some more. I’ll treat you. Jiao Jiao would also like some. You’re all children; you can play together.”
Yang Yujiao immediately said, “Yes, yes, yes, Mo Yang, don’t go! I’ve just arrived, and you’re leaving already. I haven’t even had a chance to talk to you!”
Mo Yang: “…”
...
Yang s.h.i.+yun was more anxious about the relations.h.i.+p between the Mo family and the Chu family than anything else.
The Mo family was just too superior. If they formed an alliance with the Chu family, then it would also mean forming a relations.h.i.+p with the Gu, Qin, and Qiao families. That way, it would be even harder to break up Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihan.
The fewer interests there were between the two of them, the better.
“Madam, does the Mo family know Mr Chu very well? Now you’re bringing the Chu children out to play. Mr Chu has only just moved to the capital, and he is already in contact with you?”
“Move aside!”
Gu Qingyao’s expression was ugly. She did not restrain herself and was about to lose her temper.
“What’s the matter?” As they were confronting each other, a low and attractive voice suddenly rang out. Mo Beihan walked over slowly, dressed in a black trench coat.
Yang s.h.i.+yun’s eyes immediately lit up when she saw Mo Beihan!
It had been a long time since she had seen Mo Beihan at such close range.
Mo Beihan was no longer young. He was more than 10 years older than her. But now that she could see him up close, he did not look very much older. He was tall and attractive, with the charm of a mature man. Really, those young men could not compare to him.
Many men his age had grown fleshy and had a big beer belly. But Mo Beihan had not. He looked almost exactly the same as when he was young. He did not show any signs of age at all.
Yang s.h.i.+yun was determined to marry the man she wors.h.i.+ped. She was naturally delighted to see that he looked so young.
Mo Beihan had ended work early that day. He had been out, attending to some matters, and when he was done, he came over to fetch his wife and child.
But before he arrived at the shop, he could already see his Yao Yao’s ugly expression.
When he reached Gu Qingyao’s side, he smiled and reached over to slip his arm around her waist. “What’s the matter? Are you upset?”
His voice was so gentle and his expression so loving. He only had eyes for Gu Qingyao. He did not even glance at Yang s.h.i.+yun, who was watching them.
