“Our Gu family has its reserves, and Third Uncle has a share of that. She spends her husband and sons' money. Ultimately, I'm an outsider! How am I supposed to interfere? Why should I interfere?”

Gu Qingyao shrugged and said indifferently, “Anyway, Third Uncle is no fool. After he dealt with Zhou Ping last time, she has become much more reserved.

“They have been married for more than twenty years. Third Uncle still loves Third Aunt. Look, they said they would come back to the Qing River Brigade for the new year, but they didn't in the end. I guess Third Uncle brought Third Aunt and the two boys to visit Third Aunt's parents.

“He must have felt sorry for her after beating her but couldn't let her have her way either. So he had to find ways to cheer her up after that!”

Gu Qingyao did not take this matter to heart.

She did not know Zhou Ping very well. Her impression was that Second Aunt doted on her the most and Eldest Aunt was the most mature. She was generous and could see the big picture.

Second Aunt's family was the richest, and she had plenty of resources. She lived comfortably, so it was natural that she had a better disposition. She was also generous and often sent her things.

As for Zhou Ping, she had not interacted much with her. They only saw more of each other during the new year or on special occasions, so she did not care whether Zhou Ping liked her or not.

Gu Qingyao put the last bag of food into her parcel and said to Mo Beihan with a smile, “So! I want to maintain my distance from them as much as possible. I won't quibble with Zhou Ping for Third Uncle and Third Brother's sake.

“If I maintain a distance, she can't see me and she naturally won't understand me. If I live there and she discovers how rich I am, she may become unhinged. Then what?”

Gu Qingyao sighed melodramatically. “Sigh… I have no choice. I'm just too rich; she can't stand me!”

“Hee…” Mo Beihan burst out laughing. “In that case, are you staying with me?”

Gu Qingyao turned. “Of course. Is there anything wrong with that? You're my fiancé. Can't I stay at your house?”

Mo Beihan hastily said, “Yes, yes, yes, of course you can! My things are yours. Everything I have belongs to you. You can stay as long as you please. It's not just the house, even I am yours.”

Mo Beihan was over the moon!

His heart was pounding with excitement!

He moved closer to Gu Qingyao. “Yao Yao, you can just stay here without any worries. You can stay as long as you like. If you want anything, I'll buy it for you. If you want to eat anything, I'll cook it for you. You don't need to lift a finger. I'll take care of you, all right?”

Gu Qingyao looked at him and said earnestly, “No!”

Er…

Mo Beihan was shocked. “What?”

“Because you have no time!”

“Says who?” Mo Beihan was indignant. “I have time. I definitely have time. I have lots of time! I guarantee I'll take good care of you and you'll be comfortable. You can do anything you like. All right?”

Gu Qingyao looked at him and grinned. “You're staying at your work unit's dormitory!”

Mo Beihan: “…”

He felt as if he had been struck by lightning! Gu Qingyao looked at his shocked expression and laughed craftily like a little fox. “Why? Are you intending to live with me?”

Mo Beihan nodded furiously. He wanted to live with her! He wanted to be together!

Gu Qingyao smiled. “No way! I wouldn't dare. We aren't married yet! If someone finds out, we'll be in big trouble. It will certainly cause gossip. This era is just too conservative.”

“Who dares to gossip. Why would they gossip?”
