Chapter 820: Mother And Daughter Reunite (1)
“You’ve confirmed it so fast!” Gu Qingyao murmured.
Gu Jinhang laughed coldly. “I haven’t confirmed it. All I can say is that Zhang Xiaohui thinks that the child is Bai Youran. I’ve investigated the circumstances of Bai Youran’s birth, and they match Youngest Uncle’s description. It is entirely possible that Bai Youran is the child that Zhang Xiaohui swapped.
“Anyway! I’m not prepared to expend the effort to ascertain whether she is really Zhang Xiaohui’s daughter. I’ll just assume that Bai Youran is Zhang Xiaohui’s daughter!”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
Her cunning Second Cousin was indeed impressive!
“All right, it’s getting late. Have a good rest. I’ll go now.”
Gu Jinhang got up and prepared to leave.
Gu Qingyao grabbed him and smiled, “Second Cousin, you won’t worry anymore? Your strengths are not in business. Really, you should just focus on your job as an official! We all look to you for support in the future! You can trust Fourth Cousin and me to earn money! All right?”
Gu Jinhang sighed and compromised. “I know. Go to bed! Don’t worry all the time!”
He dotingly stroked Gu Qingyao’s head and went back to his room.
Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing had been enjoying themselves for the past few days. Especially Gu Ruoqing. Once she found out that her own older sister had been swapped by her mother so that she had grown up in a wealthy family and was raised as a pampered young lady, she felt that Zhang Xiaohui and Bai Youran owed her something.
If her mother had swapped her instead, she would be the pampered young lady now.
So both Zhang Xiaohui and Bai Youran were in her debt.
Gu Ruoqing had been asking around for news of the Bai family, especially about Bai Youran. Meanwhile, she had been enjoying herself and spending freely.
She wasn’t gathering information about Bai Youran because she was concerned about the latter, but because she wanted to know what Bai Youran’s life had been like all these years. She wanted to know how much money Bai Youran had so that she could ask her for more money in the future.
She wanted whatever Bai Youran had.
As for Zhang Xiaohui, she was really anxious to meet Bai Youran.
Gu Ruoqing had been spending too much recently, and their savings had rapidly diminished. If they were not reunited with Bai Youran soon, they could not continue living in the capital.
It was easy to move from straitened circumstances to luxury, but not vice versa.
In the past, they had been more frugal in order to come to the capital. But under Gu Ruoqing’s leadership, they slowly became accustomed to spending freely over the past few days.
This was the capital!
It was much more prosperous than the places they had lived in before. They especially aspired towards the kind of lifestyle that they had seen in Jin Jiang Restaurant that day.
Bai Youran was so rich. She really wanted to have the same.
Bai Youran had been in a bad mood recently. She had not managed to find anyone to treat her leg injury. Besides that, Mo Beihan actually had a fiancée. She really could not accept that.
When Old Master Bai found out about the incident, he asked his eldest grandson, Bai Fei, to investigate. The results surprised everyone.
The Gu family really had a granddaughter, and she was greatly cherished.
When the Gu family first expanded to the capital seven years ago, the girl had already left the country to study. She only returned last year. No wonder no one in the capital knew her.
As for Mo Beihan, he had been engaged to Gu Qingyao long ago in their hometown. If Gu Qingyao had not left to study, they would be married by now.
“How can that be possible? How can that be possible? I don’t believe it. I don’t believe it…”
When Bai Youran saw the report, she burst into tears.
The man she had liked for so many years had been engaged to another woman for a long time, and an unknown girl from the countryside at that. Bai Youran really could not accept it.
