Huo Tianning did not really understand. “Really? Can the Gu family just casually form an alliance with a family like the Mos? Which family in the capital can compare with the Mo family?”

Huo Tianxiang laughed coldly. “What you see now is only the current situation. I’ve heard a lot of news recently, and it was not like that five years ago.

“Five years ago, the Mo family was only one of the four major families in the capital. Besides the Mo family, there were the Bai, the Yang and the Xi families.

“The Yang family had few descendants, and all of them were mediocre. The family was entirely dependent on Old Master Yang. The Xi family had many descendants and numerous sons from concubines and illegitimate sons. The family was fairly prosperous but rather messy. Then there was the Bai

family.

“At that time, the Bai family’s roots did not run as deep as the Mo family’s, but the Bai family’s oldest grandson, Bai Fei, was much more capable than the Mo family’s descendants. The Mo family’s oldest son, Mo Huai, was useless. Now the Old Master had gotten rid of the entire family. The other son, Mo

Wei, does not participate in family rivalry and is negligible. Besides, his children are still young and are not considered to be rivals.

“At that time, the successor of the Mo family was Mo Yunhao, Mo Beihan’s brother from the same father but a different mother. More critically, the Bai family’s only granddaughter married Mo Yunhao. A month or so after Mo Yunhao and Bai Youran got married, Gu Qingyao married into the Mo family.

“Tell me, when the Bai family married their only granddaughter to Mo Yunhao, didn’t they make their meaning clear? At that time, the Gu family could not compete with the Bai family. Why should they assume they had sufficient power to fight it out with the Bai family? If they lost, it would be more than

the loss of a granddaughter.

“The Gu family, which was steadily on the ascent, did not have to do that. But for some reason, Gu Qingyao still married Mo Beihan in the end. Mo Beihan was not involved in politics, and Old Master Mo was very ill. Who knows why Gu Qingyao married Mo Beihan.”

When Huo Lin and Huo Tianning heard that, they also thought it was rather strange.

“Older Brother, you’re right! Based on the Gu family’s abilities, they did not have to set themselves up against the Bai family. Perhaps they thought that Old Master Mo was not going to make it, and since Mo Beihan was not in politics, both the Bai family and the Gu family wanted the Mo family’s power.

But in the end, the Gu family won.”

Huo Lin said, “It is precisely the Gu family’s success that is so suspicious.”

Huo Tianxiang nodded. “That’s right. The Gu family was not as powerful as the Bai family, yet they successfully obtained everything in the Mo family. That Mo Beihan does everything that the Gu family wants.”

Huo Tianning suddenly asked, “Tell me, is it possible that Gu Qingyao is not so simple? After all, she stayed overseas for so many years and received a higher education. When she came back, she had the help of the Qiao family. There is not a single stupid person in the Qiao family. They’re all born

businessmen.”

Huo Lin and Huo Tianxiang said in unison, “Surely not?”

Gu Qingyao was just a girl. What could be so complicated about her?

“Then why does she have a connection with the Jin Jiang Restaurant boss?”

Huo Lin: “.

Huo Tianxiang: ”

Huo Tiamning said, “Even if we assume that Gu family does not dote on this granddaughter and just used her as a tool to make a marriage alliance, don’t the Qiaos dote on her? We could see that when she was overseas. Many extremely wealthy financial groups overseas wanted to marry her, but the Qiao

family always turned them down. Surely they wouldn’t use her as a tool to make a marriage alliance when they returned to China.

“If the Qiao family wants a marriage alliance, they can use one of their many grandsons. Just marry one of the girls from a noble family. No need to waste a girl, right?

“Tell me, do you think that perhaps they knew right from the start that Gu Qingyao had the ability to defeat Bai Youran, who was supported by the Bai family? And that’s why they let her marry into the Mo family?”
