Chapter 498 - : Specially Waiting For Her

Mo Beihan smiled and shook his head at Gu Qingyao, meaning that she should not be bothered by such inconsequential people.

As long as the Gu cousins were not alone with Sun Mei, no matter how she plotted, she would only make a fool of herself.

The new year holiday would soon be over, and Sun Mei could not achieve anything.

Gu Qingyao’s expression was frosty. “It’s the second day of the new year, so I’m here to visit the Mo Family.”

With that, she turned and headed for the Mo house.

The Mo children had already rushed out, with Mu Mu and Little Xu at the forefront.

“Young Aunt! Young Aunt…”

Gu Qingyao’s mood immediately lifted when she saw these adorable children. She smiled and held their hands and followed them into the house.

“Yao Yao… Yao Yao…”

Sun Mei panicked when she saw that Gu Qingyao was ignoring her, so she tried to follow.

Mo Beihan blocked her. “Aunt Qin was injured yesterday. You should go back and look after her! My family is busy and cannot entertain you.”

There was a place in front of the Mo house courtyard that was out of the wind. Usually, many people gathered there to chat. It was not snowing today, and the weather was sunny, so there were many people there as usual.

When they saw Sun Mei’s actions, they were puzzled.

But recently, there was a rumor going around the brigade that many girls were seeking Gu Qingyao’s favor. When they thought about it, they understood.

The Gu children all had jobs outside the village and they were said to be doing fairly well. Since they couldn’t marry a city dweller, the Gu family was the only choice for these girls.

That way, they could move to the city.

If the Gu family’s background hadn’t been so poor, their threshold would have already been trampled to bits by these people.

They thought of how Sun Mei had used to oppose Gu Qingyao and how unlucky the Sun family had been recently. Mocking smiles flashed across their eyes.

Sun Mei blushed at these smiles. But she had no choice. She had to fight for herself.

She brazened it out and entered the Mo house.

In the house, Gu Qingyao was holding Mu Mu in her arms and talking to the children.

She could clearly sense how excited Mu Mu had been recently.

His excitement made him appear more childish, and he did not seem as sensitive as before.

He even seemed rather foolish.

Gu Qingyao could understand that. This child’s living circumstance had been dire. Now that he had found his relatives and had a home and a future Young Aunt whom he adored, he was like someone who had suffered terribly suddenly descending into bliss. He was overwhelmed with excitement.

This child!

His joy increasingly showed on his face. The ability to maintain one’s composure was an adult trait, and even then, not every typical adult could achieve it.

“Mu Mu! Have you missed me?”

Mu Mu hurriedly nodded and said very sincerely, “Yes. I’m very good every day. I study every day and I now understand all the things you taught me. I also understand all the things that Young Uncle taught me. Young Aunt, can you continue teaching me? I’m sure I will learn very quickly.”

He tried his very best to show off, in hopes of pleasing Gu Qingyao.

Gu Qingyao smiled and patted his head. This child had been a little overstimulated as of late. When he had adjusted a little, he would calm down.

Sigh…

It was because he had suffered too much in the past!

“Mu Mu is so clever. In the future, I will certainly teach you many things. You’re so clever, you will certainly master them quickly.”

Little Mu Mu immediately blushed and shyly hid in Gu Qingyao’s embrace.

The moment Sun Mei entered, she saw a houseful of children. She immediately rejoiced that she had not married Mo Beihan. Or how would she survive?

When she looked at Gu Qingyao, she was delighted at Gu Qingyao’s misfortune. Suddenly, she was not so upset over the recent upheavals in her own family.
