Chapter 802 - A Scolding From Old Master Bai (3)

In the Bai family, Bai Jingcheng was not considered to be very capable, but he was not entirely useless either.

But with the backing of the Bai family, he had always had an easy life.

His thinking was typical of a nobody. The Bai family had advanced rapidly in recent times, so he had naturally grown smug. Also, his son, Bai Chi had given the Bai family its first great-grandson. That made him even more smug!

But the Mo family appeared to be declining in recent years.

Because there was no successor!

The Bai family was flourishing. The sons and grandsons were doing fairly well, especially the eldest grandson. He had been doing well in the capital.

But it was different for the Mo family. The Mo family lacked talent.

The brother-in-law, Mo Wei, was no fool but preferred to keep a low profile and have a peaceful life. Within the capital’s wealthy circles, he was not forgotten, but he was not outstanding either.

He showed no sign of being chosen as the Mo family’s successor.

Mo Beihan had been away for three years.

The eldest son, Mo Huai, was useless. Mo Yunhao was a typical playboy.

Among the fourth generation, Mo Chengrui and the others were still young and could not keep up appearances for the Mo family. So it looked as if the Mo family was declining!

The Mo family did not seem to be doing as well as the Bai family, which was flourishing in various careers and trades!

This was why Bai Jingcheng had dared to angrily call Old Master Mo to question him.

But the Mo family was still the Mo family. Even if the Mo family had no successor, as long as Old Master Mo lived, he was not to be questioned by the likes of Bai Jingcheng.

It was an understatement to say he had no sense of propriety. He was completely reckless.

When Old Master Bai finished beating his son, he asked, “What has Mo Beihan been up to lately? When did he get engaged?”

After all, he was the Mo family’s eldest grandson. When he lived in the capital three years ago, Old Master Mo had doted on him, so Old Master Bai also followed his progress with interest.

Especially since his granddaughter was so fond of Mo Beihan. Of course Old Master Bai paid close attention to him.

Bai Jingcheng said, “Nothing much. That Mo Beihan has been back for a few months but hasn’t done much work. He loafs around all day. I don’t know when he got engaged.

“But his fiancée is not from an important family, so Old Master Mo probably doesn’t think very highly of him. Otherwise, the capital would certainly have heard about the Mo family’s eldest grandson’s engagement.”

Old Master Bai angrily slapped him again. “No one will think you’re dumb if you don’t speak!”

Old Master Bai looked at his eldest grandson, Bai Fei. “You tell me!”

Bai Fei was the Bai family’s eldest grandson, and he held the highest status among the Bai family’s grandchildren.

He had not paid much attention when Bai Chi’s incident first happened, but when he found out that his Second Uncle had recklessly called Old Master Mo to question him, he knew there would be trouble!

Bai Fei frowned and said, “Grandfather, Mo Beihan came back before the new year, but he really hasn’t done much over the past few months. I haven’t heard of Old Master Mo arranging a job for him either. But Mo Beihan seems rather busy recently. The playboys in high society seldom see him around.

“He has been back for so long, but he doesn’t seem to want to integrate into the capital’s circles. I don’t know what he’s busy with.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“As for his fiancée, I don’t know about her.”

No matter what, Mo Beihan held the title of Mo family’s eldest grandson. Although he had an elder brother who left four children behind, this brother had passed away. That made Mo Beihan the oldest among the grandchildren.
