Chapter 964: The Ages Dont Add Up (4)

Old Master Mo was startled. He looked at Mo Beihan and said sorrowfully. Im sure! He would certainly have been 66 years old. Why?

Mo Beihan said, If Uncle Fang were 66 years old this year, and he pa.s.sed away at 27, he must have been deceased for 39 years. Aunt gave birth to my younger cousin at 18, and my younger cousin is 19 years old. Which means to say that Aunt must be 37 years old this year!

Old Master Mo was taken aback!

Grandma Mos hand, which was holding a pair of chopsticks, froze.

Great-aunt Mo and Zhou Furongs expressions stiffened. They broke out in cold sweat.

Old Master Mo looked at Great-aunt Mo. Zhenguo has been gone for 39 years, why is Furong only 37 years old? What is going on?

Great-aunt Mo had already said that Zhou Furong was already born when Fang Zhenguo pa.s.sed away. She was doing her confinement. But now there was a gap of two years. Things were not adding up.

Great-aunt Mo was soaking in a cold sweat. Her excitement was doused by a basin of cold water. A chill crept through her heart!

I This I

I was very young when my mother married into the Zhou family and brought me with her. The Zhou family saw that I was very young, so they changed my age and told everyone I belonged to their family. They said that since I was such a young child, no one could tell how old I was when I grew up. Even if I said I was two years younger, no one would know.

Its been so many years, Ive gotten used to saying Im two years younger than I actually am. So although I said that Im 37, Im actually 39!

Great-aunt Mo was so frightened that she went completely pale. Her brain seemed to have turned to mush, and she could not answer. Zhou Furong hurried to explain for her and came up with this explanation.

Mo Beihan smiled briefly and said nonchalantly. Is that so! Its not a big deal. Aunt, you were still a child then! You must have just gone along with whatever age the adults told you. If even you know about it, Great-aunt must be even more aware of the circ.u.mstances!

Great-aunt Mo said through stiff lips, I I Im getting old, and my memory is failing. I forgot!

Mo Beihans lips twitched. He did not say anything else, but instead bowed his head and ate his dinner.

The atmosphere around the table had become rather strange.

Mo Beihan, who had been so chatty just a moment ago and who had talked to them continually, now just lowered his head and focused on his meal. He ignored them completely.

Old Master Mo lowered his eyes. His expression was ugly.

Grandma Mo glanced at him and put food in his bowl.

After that incident, Great-aunt Mo and her family sobered up. They just lowered their heads and ate. They did not dare to say anything.

This Mo Beihan was too hard to deal with. He asked so many random questions that they slipped up, and now they were in trouble!

Mo Beihan had been working hard for two months. Now that he was back, he gave himself a few days off to spend time with his wife.

Gu Qingyao was very busy with work at the moment. The restaurant and the small supermarket were running. Once the weekend break was over, sales did dip a little. But it did not fall to the levels of last week but continued to increase steadily.

The packaging that she ordered had arrived. Gu Qingyao packed her products and brought them to meet her friends.

Mo Beihan had nothing else to do, so he went along with her.

They were meeting at the Qiao house. Gu Qingyao, Qin Si, Qin Nian and Ji Mingyue were all there. Gu Qingyao did not know many girls in the capital. She had gotten to know a few other girls, but they were not close. She would start with her close friends.
