“Your grandfather doesn’t have much of a bond with her. She’s his half-sister who was not much favored in the family and was not very important. She and your grandfather did not interact much. This time, your grandfather is mainly upset over Zhenguo. These children are Zhenguo’s descendants, and your grandfather couldn’t bear to see them suffer, so he took them in.
“But Yao Yao, I can tell that this family is no good. Don’t be afraid of them, and don’t allow them to bully you. After they’ve lived here for a while and your grandfather has had time to reconsider, he will soon ask them to move out.”
Now Gu Qingyao understood.
“I understand, Grandma. Don’t worry. Take care of yourself. Grandfather still needs you to keep him company!”
Grandma Mo sighed. “So many years have passed in a blink of an eye! Zhenguo! He was so high-spirited when we were young! I never expected him to pass away so early…”
Time flies and circumstances change. Friends leave. To old people, this was the saddest thing.
Gu Qingyao consoled Grandma Mo for a while, then sent her to rest.
Meanwhile, in the Mo family guest room.
Mo Qingqing entered and saw the beautiful rooms. It was as if they were in heaven.
Mo Qingqing had suffered much over the years, but she was a daughter of the Mo family and had seen the family at the height of its glory. When she saw the luxuriously furbished rooms in the Mo house, she finally vented all the pent up frustration that had accumulated over many years.
“This is the kind of place we should be living in! In the past, we barely lived like humans.”
Zhou Furong remained in her room while the servants brought her clean clothes and took her dirty clothes away to wash. Zhou Furong was incredibly excited when she saw her new clothes. She hurried to bathe and put them on.
Her daughter rushed over. “Mother, Mother, the Mo family is so rich! My god! These clothes are so beautiful. I’ve never worn such nice clothes before.”
Zhou Furong smiled. “This is nothing. After dinner, Mother will bring you to buy a few more sets, and we can wear new clothes every day.”
“Really?” Zhou Furong’s daughter was called Sun Huihui. When she heard that, she was so astonished she did not know what to say.
But a moment later, she scrunched up her face. “But, Mother, where will we get the money to buy new clothes?”
Their family was desperately poor. Before they came to the Mo house, they had barely enough to eat.
Zhou Furong looked at her in disappointment. “The Mo family is so rich, surely they won’t begrudge you some new clothes. Huihui, you’re a good girl, and now you’re a rich young lady. In the future, you will have so many clothes that you can’t even wear them all.”
Sun Huihui was flushed with excitement. She enthusiastically spun in circles.
In the end, Sun Huihui did not return to her own room but remained with Zhou Furong to bathe and change.
The mother and daughter tidied themselves before going over to Old Madam Mo.
“Mother, the Mo family is so rich. We don’t need to suffer any longer.”
The old woman smiled rather smugly. “Of course. This is my family. If I had known they were in the capital, I would have looked them up long ago. I wouldn’t have searched for them for so long.
“I didn’t realize that they had remained unscathed, although so many things have happened. They’re really capable.”
As the old lady spoke, her expression grew ugly. “They’ve been living so well, but they have never looked for us. They’re too much. And to think I thought of him as my older brother.. I have a share in the Mo family. Why shouldn’t I be allowed to return?”
