Chapter 504: Removing All Future Threat

Mo Beihan said, “I need a few days to arrange it. I’ll discuss it with your older cousins. We’ll settle it before the new year holiday is over.”

“Uhm!” Gu Qingyao nodded.

Mo Beihan sent Gu Qingyao home but did not return home immediately. Instead, he sought out Gu Qingyao’s three older cousins for a discussion.

The three older cousins were astounded when Mo Beihan recounted what Gu Qingyao had said to Sun Mei!

When their shock wore off, Gu Jinhang smiled dotingly. “My younger cousin is so clever!”

Gu Jinfeng was even smugger. “Of course, our younger cousin always has our welfare at heart.”

Mo Beihan: “…”

After a long discussion, Gu Jinhang, Gu Jinfeng and Mo Beihan left together the next day. Gu Jinlin was not as well connected as them, so he stayed at home and helped the old folks with their work.

As for Sun Mei, Gu Qingyao had probably dealt her a severe blow, so she did not look for Gu Qingyao. Gu Qingyao had a few peaceful days at home and attended lessons with her teachers in the evening.

Gu Jinhang and Gu Jinfeng returned that night, but Mo Beihan did not climb up the mountain. He just went straight back to his home at the foot of the mountain.

Gu Jinfeng said, “Mo Beihan has gone home because it’s late!”

Gu Qingyao nodded. “Well? Any leads?”

Gu Jinhang said, “Not too bad. We have a target. We’ll go again tomorrow, and it will probably be settled by the day after tomorrow at the latest.”

Gu Qingyao couldn’t help in this matter, so she had no choice but to hand it over to her older cousins.

Sun Mei had been thoroughly frightened, so she did not look for Gu Qingyao. Gu Qingyao had nothing to do, so she studied with her teachers and gained more and more knowledge.

Her teachers were all amazed by Gu Qingyao!

“Child, you’ll be incredible when you grow up! If you have the opportunity to use your talents, who knows what incredible things you will achieve!”

Gu Qingyao smiled. “Grandfathers, Grandmothers, all of you are too polite! I’m not that great!”

Everyone liked humble children. Grandfather Guo and Grandma Guo, Lin Wanyin, liked her more and more.

Over the past few days, they had frequently chatted with Gu Chonghua and Wen Ruyu. Their previous depression and discontentment had lifted, and with other old folks for company, they were in much better spirits.

Lin Wanyin increasingly liked Gu Qingyao. She liked all the Gu children. They were not as inhumane as the girl she had raised!

By then, they already knew that Gu Qingyao had been in the provincial capital before the new year. No one had summoned Gu Qingyao to their side, so Lin Wanyin took the opportunity and said, “Yao Yao! I heard that you’ve been living in the provincial capital. If you have a chance to go there again, see if you can find an opportunity to bring back the things I hid there.”

Gu Qingyao was taken aback!

Lin Wanyin said, “Your Grandfather Guo and I have a house in the provincial capital, and there are many things hidden there! We haven’t been there for a long time and don’t know what happened to them. Now that we are here and your family is taking care of our food, I must certainly offer something, right?”

Gu Qingyao hurriedly said, “Grandma, there is no need to stand on ceremony. You, Grandfather Guo, and my grandparents were such good friends. Now that you are old and since you are here, of course, the Gu family will take care of you.”

Lin Wanyin smiled. “That’s different! Those things are just sitting there anyway. If you have a chance, go and take a look and try to get hold of them. We accepted everything your family gave us, so you shouldn’t stand on ceremony with me either!

“I heard that you’re engaged to that boy, Mo Beihan. Just take it as an engagement present from me. Get them and keep them for your dowry!”
