Chapter 1371: Hundred Days Celebration And A Bunch Of Bachelors (3)
Actually, Eldest Cousin was a very capable man, but by himself, he could not surpa.s.s Second Uncle’s family with Fourth Cousin, Second Cousin and Second Uncle!
Especially since Second Aunt was very competent too, and did very well at work.
This family was really very powerful. No matter how good Eldest Cousin was, he was only one man. And to outsiders, he seemed weak.
He was not the successor even though he was the eldest grandson of the eldest son’s family. The second son’s family was clearly in charge of the Gu family. Naturally, scheming people made a big deal out of it.
Fortunately, the Gu family had always been very united. It never experienced a split even after so many years.
In Second Uncle’s family, Fourth Cousin was always doing exceedingly well in business. Second Uncle’s family was not lacking in terms of financial strength.
In Eldest Uncle’s family, Eldest Cousin-in-law was in business. The family helped her a lot in this respect!
It was not just Fourth and Fifth Cousin. Even Gu Qingyao helped Li Qingdan a lot. Li Qingdan was not a genius, but she was not stupid either. With so many excellent resources, she was naturally very successful.
Li Qinglang had risen in recent years and had been a great help to Eldest Cousin.
The child was now in his twenties, about the same age as Mu Mu and the others, but he belonged to a different generation.
…
Gu Qingyao smiled and said, “Where is he? Did he come today?”
Qiao Yuying laughed and said, “Of course he did. This is such a good opportunity; your eldest cousin-in-law would definitely bring him along. At first, your eldest cousin wanted to bring him around to introduce him to people and for him to also interact with the Mo children, but your eldest cousin-in-law is intent on finding him a wife, so she dressed him up nicely!
“Pfft…” A laugh escaped Gu Qingyao’s lips.
“Is that so! I don’t know if I can be of any help. I’ll look for Eldest Cousin-in-law later for a chat. Oh, Yuan Yuan might know some girls. She graduated from a prestigious school; she must know many of her cla.s.smates.
“Oh, Qinglang himself graduated from Beijing University and studied overseas. He never had a girlfriend after all these years?”
...
Qiao Yuying said, “I heard that he never did. He’s only focused on helping your eldest cousin. That’s why your eldest cousin-in-law is so worried. He’s never fallen for any girl even at his age. That’s not normal!”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
She almost burst out laughing.
“What’s so odd about that? Those boys in my family are all single too!”
Mo Chengrui, Mo Chengxu and Mo Chengjing, who had just entered the room: “…”
Qiao Yuying turned to look at these tall, handsome men. Her head immediately ached.
“My G.o.d, I feel dizzy. It makes me think of that bunch of bachelors in my family.”
Gu Qingyao’s older cousins were not young. They were already of marriageable age when they moved to the capital, but they waited many years before they got married, one after another.
Qiao Yuying had been so worried then!
Now her head ached when she saw the four bachelors.
Now that Gu Qingyao thought of it, she also frowned. “Mother, why do I feel that we have a lot of bachelors in the family?
“There are three here, and over in the Gu family, there are Little Six and Little Nine who are not young anymore. And then there are Little Seven and Little Eight who have grown up…”
The moment Qiao Yuying heard that, her head started to ache again. “My G.o.d! If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have realized. Now that I think about it, how did all these children grow up so quickly? This… no wonder your eldest cousin-in-law is so worried! The compet.i.tion is too stiff!”
Gu Qingyao sighed. “My Mu Mu is the most likable!”
Among the brothers, Mo Chengxi got married the earliest. Zhong Bingyuan was now pregnant. Her child would be born next year.
At that moment, Mo Chengxi entered. When he heard that, he smiled and said, “Aunt is praising me again!”
He immediately received death stares from his older brothers!
Mo Chengxi: “…”
