Mo Huai was married again and had a son. The child was the eldest grandson of the Mo family. If Mo Beihan’s identity was known, he would threaten the position of that grandson. His stepmother would definitely find him trouble.
The Gu family might become affected as well, especially Yao Yao.
Mo Beihan did not have the ability to counter so the best choice now was to keep it a secret and stay here.
Mo Beihan said, “Grandfather promised me that he would keep it a secret and he will not force me to go back to the Mo family. I don’t think anyone else knows about that.”
Gu Jinlin nodded, “I understand. I will not tell anyone.”
At the same time, he clenched his fist tight. He must work even harder now in order to support his little sister.
They arranged everything in the house. Mo Beihan and Gu Jinlin moved all the big pieces. Gu Qingyao just arranged the food.
Both chicken and goose meat were cleaned. Gu Qingyao rinsed them with water again before putting them into the refrigerator.
She then washed the clothes from yesterday and it was about time for lunch.
The house looked organized now. Refrigerator, TV, washing machine, tables, chairs and cabinets were all nicely arranged. It was obvious that the house did not belong to normal people.
There was an obvious financial difference from the furniture in the house now.
Gu Jinlin pursed his lips and swore that he must work hard to prepare enough dowry for his sister. Then his sister would not be bullied in the Mo family.
Gu Qingyao was pulled out of the kitchen by Mo Beihan the moment she stepped in.
“Take a rest. You’re busy for the whole morning.”
“I didn’t do anything. You did all the tiring jobs.”
“Washing clothes and packing stuff are tiring jobs as well. How can you compare with us.”
Gu Qingyao smiled, “All the clothes were washed using the washing machine. It’s functioning well.”
“Take a rest now.”
Gu Qingyao compromised as Mo Beihan insisted.
“Don’t cook too much. There are only three of us. Just prepare something simple.”
“Mhm!”
Lunch was simple. Mo Beihan cooked rice and made beef soup.
He added glass noodles and cabbage and made a large bowl of soup. Though that was the only dish, it was considered a good meal with white rice.
Three of them finished everything.
Mo Beihan brought Gu Qingyao out for dinner and Gu Jinlin headed back home.
Old Master Mo returned to his house in the capital in anger. But Mo Huai was not at home.
“Where is my eldest son? Where is he?”
Grandma Mo stunned for a second after seeing his anger, “What happened? What makes you so angry?”
He stared at his wife and realized that she was not aware of what that bastard did outside.
He must punish his eldest son later when he is back. His wife might beg for mercy for him later. Old Master Mo stared at her for a while and said towards Steward Zhong, “When he’s back, ask him to come and see me immediately.”
Steward Zhong knew about everything and replied, “Noted.”
Old Master Mo then said towards Grandma Mo, “Come to the study with me. I have something to tell you.”
Grandma Mo did not know what was going on. She glanced at Steward Zhong and frowned. She then followed the Old Master upstairs to the study room.
The sound was cut off when the door of the study was closed. However, after a while, some vague crying sounds could be heard from the study room.
It seemed that Grandma Mo was cursing someone as she repeated the word “bastard”.
