Chapter 708: Trying To Exterminate The Huo Family? (5)
Even more disgusting was the fact that the Huo family was still trying to maintain a good relationship with the Qiao family. They maintained the image of Huo Lin being deeply in love with Qiao Yuying. In that way, more people assumed that the Huo family was doing business with the Qiao family.
For the past three years, the Huo family’s sons had earned a substantial amount of money because of this. This infuriated the older cousins.
Gu Qingyao said, “Now is not the time. Just bear with it. When the time is right, we will simply exterminate them!”
Second Cousin: “…”
He paused for a long while before he replied, “Younger Cousin, the Huo family is formidable. It might be possible for us to teach them a lesson, but to exterminate the Huo family…”
Was not likely!
In business, harmony bred wealth. They would not attack the Huo Family unless they had no other choice.
Especially since their opponent was so strong. If they acted on impulse, they might end up on the losing end!
Gu Qingyao laughed and said nonchalantly, “That’s why we must wait for the right time!’
…
Around the end of the year, Gu Qingyao was still systematically handling her own affairs. She had worked in an orderly fashion for so many years and seldom experienced delays.
She regularly changed the mysterious boss’s medication. At her advice, the workaholic had finally grown more obedient. His health was recovering well. She believed that, at his family gathering at the end of the year, the doctors’ diagnoses would end any rumors that he was infertile.
For many years, the Qiao family followed the tradition of celebrating the spring festival. During this period each year, Gu Qingyao would certainly go back if she had the time.
This year was no exception!
Except that this year, Gu Jinfeng and Mo Beihan were also present.
Besides the Qiao Yuying, no one in the Qiao family knew of Mo Beihan’s existence. Also, he had been very busy lately, so only Gu Qingyao went back to visit the Qiao family.
That night, Gu Qingyao washed up and was sitting cross-legged on her bed in her home wear. The heater was on. It was freezing outside, but inside, it was as warm as spring. She was drawing on a sketchbook in her hand.
Gu Jinfeng entered with a cup of water and sat down next to Gu Qingyao.
“What are you drawing? You look so earnest.”
Gu Qingyao’s hand paused, then resumed its drawing.
Gu Jinfeng glanced at it in surprise. “Cartoon figures?”
Gu Qingyao nodded. “Um! Just for fun.”
Gu Jinfeng did not suspect anything, but took a sip of water and continued sitting there.
“What’s the matter, Fourth Brother? Do you need my help?
Gu Jinfeng glanced at her. “No, just feeling thoughtful.”
“Oh?” Gu Qingyao carried on the conversation as she drew!
Gu Jinfeng looked into the distance and thought of all that had happened recently. “It was only after I left China that I realized this world is much bigger than I had imagined. In the past, I thought our Gu family’s children were outstanding. But after coming here, I realized how much talent there is in the world!”
Gu Qingyao’s hand paused, then she turned to look at him. She suddenly laughed. “Even if you’ve left China, our Gu family is still just as outstanding.”
Gu Jinfeng smiled but did not reply.
Gu Qingyao asked, “Fourth Cousin, did someone criticize you?”
Gu Jinfeng shook his head. “No. Just that I got to know some people lately, as well as your older cousins. It made me think.”
Gu Qingyao understood.
Her Fourth Cousin was born in China, and he was truly a promising man. Besides the Gu family’s poor background, just Second Uncle’s status alone meant that Fourth Cousin came from a pretty good family.
