Chapter 1336: Cross Swords (4)

In the ten-plus years that his mother had been married, she had seldom worried about her clothes, jewelry, bags and shoes. At a certain time every year, Father would order people to select them from all over the world and allow Mother to pick whatever she liked. The three-storey cloakroom in their house was filled with his mothers clothes, jewelry and shoes.

Besides these, she had many pieces that were specially custom-made by designers. The entire wardrobe was refreshed each season. Even if Mother wore a different outfit every day, she could do so without repeating an outfit.

Take gems for example! His father owned many mines!

Besides, his grandmother, Qiao Yuying, was the founder of Qiaos Jewelry. Was there something wrong with these two girls brains that they were boasting in front of them?

Gu Qingyao did not speak anymore. Yang s.h.i.+yun frowned. Today, nothing was going according to her expectations. Why didnt Gu Qingyao reply?

If she knew all these, shouldnt she have many things to say and many questions to ask?

Yang s.h.i.+yun felt rather indignant at the sight of Gu Qingyaos calm face.

She had no choice but to ask, Madam, what have you been doing all these years?

Gu Qingyaos mouth twitched a little. This girl was hostile towards her. She was so rude even when she spoke.

Usually, Gu Qingyao would not mind or be so sensitive. But Gu Qingyao knew that this girl had something else to say.

I dont do much. I usually just take care of my child and do some things that Im interested in.

Madam is the mistress of the Mo family. Youre Master Mos better half. Shouldnt you be very busy? Taking care of a child is a nannys job. The Mo family is not short of nannies. Why would Master Mo make Madam perform such boring and small tasks?

Gu Qingyaos lips arched. Her manner was calm but dignified. Miss Yang, you seem very curious about my familys affairs?

Yang s.h.i.+yun paused. She felt rather embarra.s.sed.

Yang Yujiao laughed and said, Aunty, its true that were curious! The Mo family is such an important family. My aunt has just returned to China and is not very familiar with how things are here. Youre the mistress of the Mo family. Many women in the capital are very curious about you!

Gu Qingyao smiled. How long has your aunt been overseas?

Three years!

How old is she now?

Twenty-six!

Three years ago, she was already twenty-three years old. Didnt she know what the capital was like then?

Yang s.h.i.+yun:

Yang Yujiao:

At that moment, Mo Yang looked up and said innocently, Mother, this Aunty has been overseas for three years. Its normal for people with poor memory to forget many things in three years!

Yang s.h.i.+yun:

Poor memory?

Was he just saying that she had a poor memory, or was he jeering at her for being stupid?

Yang s.h.i.+yuns expression was rather ugly.

I have always been very curious about the Mo family. Madam, youre so famous among the capitals rich matrons. I had already heard about you when I was young. Now Ive returned from my studies overseas, and since I studied medicine, I know how famous you are in the medical circles. That made me a little more curious. Madam. I hope you dont mind.

Gu Qingyao smiled but did not reply.

Since Gu Qingyao did not speak, Yang s.h.i.+yun had no choice but to continue. She was displeased with the feeling that someone else was controlling the pace of the conversation.

Madam studied Chinese medicine, but for so many years, you did not work at any hospital. Isnt it a waste of your talents? Its a new era now. Women must be independent and have their own careers. They cant just depend on men to survive. Things like caring for children and housework should just be handed over to the servants. Madam, youre so talented; dont waste it.

Her every word was barbed. This girl
