The Old Master longed to make it up to Mo Beihan. He definitely could not bear to just leave Mo Beihan behind without paying any further attention to him. He would certainly use various means to help Mo Beihan to prosper.

And it was not just the Mo family. He would do the same for the Gu family!

Meanwhile, Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihan bought some vegetables from the grocery store and went back to Mo Beihan's place.

The weather was turning chilly and it was not as hot as before.

Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihan were cooking in the kitchen.

Mo Beihan did most of the cooking while Gu Qingyao looked on and helped a little here and there.

The girl kept gazing at him, so Mo Beihan said with a smile, “Is there anything you would like to ask me?”

Gu Qingyao pursed her lips. “Elder Brother Beihan, I feel that there's something different about you! In the past, you weren't… like that?”

“What was I like in the past?” Mo Beihan looked at her with antic.i.p.ation.

Gu Qingyao thought about it and replied, “Erm… a little stupid!”

Mo Beihan: “…”

“Am I very smart now?” asked Mo Beihan.

Gu Qingyao gave him a long look and said, “I feel that you're craftier now!”

Mo Beihan: “…”

He was rather amused. You silly girl. I've pursued you for more than ten years. Why would I be like some young boy who doesn't know what to do?

Do you think I'm so lacking in emotional intelligence?

Gu Qingyao was truly curious about the Zhang family incident. So she pressed close to Mo Beihan and said with a smile, “Elder Brother Beihan, Brother Han! Please tell me. How on earth did you pull it off? Who did you ask for help?”

Mo Beihan glanced at her, then lowered his eyes and continued to chop the vegetables. The corners of his eyes crinkled in a smile. “Let's eat first. I'll tell you everything after dinner!”

“All right!” Gu Qingyao was delighted. She was all smiles as she prepared the meal with him.

They had a fish today. They chopped up the fish head to make soup, and braised the rest of the fish in soy sauce. They also had yam with fungus, and a small dish of vegetables. These were all in small portions.

After dinner, Mo Beihan brought her to the room and made her sit on the bed. He took something wrapped in wrapping paper from the corner of his wardrobe, then opened it and handed it to her.

“This is for you. Wait, I have more over there.”

Then he took another small parcel from the head of the bed and opened it before handing it to Gu Qingyao.

Gu Qingyao was shocked.

“This… where did you get so much money from?”

Mo Beihan said, “Grandfather gave me this twenty thousand yuan before he left. I earned this ten thousand yuan myself.”

Gu Qingyao: “…”

She felt as if she was unable to think straight.

Wait a minute…

“Grandfather? You… you've met your grandfather?”

Mo Beihan smiled. “The Zhang family is so formidable. I'm really no match for them now! I had no choice but to look for my grandfather.”

Gu Qingyao: “…”

Why did she sense that something was amiss!

“This… you… how did you manage to find him? And so quickly too?”

It was impossible!

She had told him that day that his grandfather might be someone very powerful, and might dote on him.

But even if Mo Beihan went to look for him that very day, he could not possibly have found him so fast!

Was the Mo family so easily found?

Would they acknowledge him so readily?

Even if Mo Beihan looked very similar to the Old Master when he was young, in that kind of family, if someone popped out of nowhere and claimed to be their long-lost grandson, the family would not believe him so readily.

Mo Beihan looked at Gu Qingyao and his smile deepened. “I already knew who and where he was. I know all about the Mo family. Of course, it was easy to find them.”

Gu Qingyao's head was spinning!

“What… what are you saying?”
