Chapter 840: It’s Okay that She Was Not the Biological Daughter (3)

Bai Youran frowned. “When I first fell in love with him, he was not the Mo family’s eldest grandson!”

Bai Chi smiled. “That was in the past. You were young. It’s understandable if you were impulsive.

“But things are different now. Besides, the Mo Beihan of the past might not have come from a good background, but he is quite capable. With the Bai family to groom him, he would have done pretty well.

“But now? Dear Cousin, tell me, do you like Mo Beihan’s status as the Mo family’s eldest grandson, or do you like him for himself?”

Bai Youran: “…”

Bai Chi laughed. “That’s what I thought! How can the daughter of the Bai family be so stupid? What you like best is still his status and position. You are so persistent because you could not have him in the past and you can’t let it go.

“Coincidentally, Mo Beihan’s status was suddenly elevated, and you naturally want to have him. Because of that, you think that you want to marry him out of love!”

Bai Youran: “…”

Bai Chi smiled rather mockingly. “Mo Beihan has never so much as looked at you. Based on how proud you are, you should disdain him. Why do you like him so much that you insist on marrying him?”

Bai Youran: “…”

“It’s because you know Mo Yunhao is useless, but Mo Beihan is very capable. As long as you marry him, with the Bai family’s support, Mo Beihan will certainly be the next master of the Mo family. Right?”

Bai Youran looked at Bai Chi wordlessly.

Bai Chi laughed smugly!

Bai Youran said angrily, “I didn’t come to talk to you about this. I want you to help me think of a way to marry Mo Beihan. Second Cousin, when I am the matriarch of the Mo family, I won’t forget you.”

Bai Chi paused and his eyes flickered.

He had just remembered Mo Beihan and that boss from the south.

Bai Youran continued, “You also say that Gu Qingyao is very pretty. Men are all fools. But what about you? Gu Qingyao is much prettier than Ji Mingyue, and a few years younger too. The Gu family is doing as well as the Ji family, right?”

Not only that. The Gu family was actually doing much better than the Ji family.

Bai Youran did not know much about these things, but Bai Chi knew a little.

She was so pretty. Of course he liked her.

He had fancied Gu Qingyao at first sight.

But Bai Chi was well aware that if he wanted to marry Gu Qingyao, he must not allow the fact that Gu Qingyao was not the Gu family’s real daughter to become known. It was to his benefit that she remained the darling of the Gu family.

So Bai Chi glanced at Bai Youran and said, “Let me give you some advice. If you like Mo Beihan, go ahead and pursue him. But exposing Gu Qingyao’s status will not benefit you at all. In fact, it might bring you trouble.”

Bai Youran frowned. “What do you mean?”

Bai Chi said earnestly, “The existence of their engagement means that Old Master Mo has given his consent. Besides, Mo Beihan might really love Gu Qingyao. The Gu and Mo families want a marriage alliance. If you destroy Gu Qingyao’s status, they might still ally, but they will be inwardly divided.

“Perhaps one of them might feel unhappy. Since the Mo Family cannot take it out on the Gu Family, they will come looking for you. You will have embarrassed their families and shaken what would be a stable marriage alliance. Mo Beihan is supposed to marry a rich, young girl, and that would reflect well on him. But your meddling will embarrass him.

“It is supposed to be a wonderful thing for the Gu family to marry their daughter into a wealthy family. But your meddling will embarrass the Gu family. Who do you think all these people will blame?”

Bai Youran: “…”
