He could not help but pat her head. “Go home! Don't worry about anything! I'm here!”

Gu Qingyao urged him, “Then… promise me you won't… interfere with my parents' situation! I don't care if they separate. Father's life has been difficult for many years and my mother detests my grandparents. If she remains in our family for long, something untoward might happen.

“My older cousins are all grown up, and my older uncles are not sending much money back. I guess my mother won't be able to suffer with the Gu family for long.”

Mo Beihan's eyes filled with amus.e.m.e.nt. The girl was lying to him without even batting an eyelid.

But he liked it!

He liked girls like her, who had some cunning.

He recalled that in their previous life, after the girl's inters.p.a.ce appeared and she had more resources, she was always thinking of ways to give him things. She had even helped him to care for his mother and two nephews.

But in order not to arouse his suspicions, she always thought of various ways to explain the origins of her things. In the end, she could not be bothered to explain any longer. She simply forbade him from asking where they were from, and told him to just accept that she had them.

The Yao Yao then was the most adorable that he had ever seen!

What about this life?

Her inters.p.a.ce had not only appeared early on, she had even been reborn!

Would she be like herself in her previous life, thinking of all kinds of ways to help him and take care of him, but unable to explain where her things came from?

Mo Beihan looked at the pretty young girl standing before him and a hint of amus.e.m.e.nt flashed across his eyes. He was suddenly filled with antic.i.p.ation.

It would be a pleasure to watch the girl he liked gradually grow up.

In his previous life, he had let too many opportunities slip by, but in this life, he would make it all up… very good!

When he thought of that, Mo Beihan said, “I know. I'll do whatever you want, alright? I'll obey you in everything.”

Gu Qingyao: “…”

“Go home! Your grandparents have already gone inside, and I should be going too. I'll be leaving in a couple of days. If you have any problems, you must come and look for me within the next two days!”

“Um!” Gu Qingyao nodded dumbly. Why did she somehow feel that Elder Brother Beihan was behaving rather oddly?

Actually, Mo Beihan should have left two days ago, but he could not bear to leave. Then Zhang Xiaohui's incident had occurred, so he remained at home for a few days, hoping to resolve the matter.

But he estimated that he still needed some time to conclude the matter. He did not have that much leave, so… he had to act swiftly!

Zhang Xiaohui returned after ten days.

The events of the past few days caused everyone to have many opinions of Zhang Xiaohui. They privately discussed her, and were very contemptuous towards her.

At that moment, almost the entire brigade was talking about her and watching her closely. They were watching to see when she would return, and how rich she had become!

It was evening when Zhang Xiaohui returned, and the sky was almost dark. At that moment, everyone in the family was getting ready for bed as usual.

Zhang Xiaohui brought Gu Ruoqing with her. Both of them wore new clothes and shoes.

Their high living of the past few days had turned their heads. Also, with no one in the Gu family to curb her, Zhang Xiaohui did not conceal her contentment and her antic.i.p.ation of the future.

Mo Beihan had devised a way to get w.a.n.g Guozhu back. They had spent all their money and they certainly could not obtain any more within the next few days, so Zhang Xiaohui had to go home.

The two of them had just reached the northern part of the brigade, and were preparing to continue on to the Gu house, when they ran into Chen Goudan and Chen Xiaocao, who were just emerging from the Gu house.

When Chen Goudan saw Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing, he exclaimed, “Ah… Aunt Zhang, you're back!”
