Chapter 369: My Dear Grandfather, Hurry Up And Make Your Presence Felt! (2)
Mo Beihan left. He needed to pay a visit to the Ji family.
Mo Beihan stood under the Gu family’s block and gazed in the direction of their house as he thought of his wife’s anxious expression.
At this time, he was a lone wolf, and really could not take on the Zhang family.
The Zhang family had connections here, in Nancheng, and also in the capital.
Zhang Qiang’s parents held powerful positions in Nancheng, while his second uncle lived here.
And his grandfather and others of that generation resided in the capital.
Zhang Qiang was the only male scion among the Zhang family’s grandchildren, and he was the darling of the family. This was especially so in a family like the Zhangs, which favored boys over girls.
The Ji family was only just beginning to prosper. Although they were currently doing well, their standing was not high enough.
They were no match for the Zhang family.
So…
Mo Beihan rubbed his chin. My dear grandfather, I really have no choice. I, your eldest grandson, must look for you!
Your granddaughter-in-law needs help. You had better hurry up and make your presence felt!
Otherwise, when Yao Yao grows up in a few years, you will have to join the queue if you want to meet her!
Mo Beihan went to the Ji house.
In the Ji house, Grandfather and Grandma Ji had their own rooms. The Ji house was fairly large and the whole family lived together. Now that Ji Mingzhe was back, he was usually here when he was not at the hostel.
Second Brother, Ji Mingzhe, and Ji Mingyue were all home.
Ji Mingyue could not help feeling conflicted when she saw that Mo Beihan was actually visiting the Ji family.
To be honest, her better relatives in the past had influenced her such that she had a poor impression of village girls. She always thought that village girls were awful!
So when she first heard in Nancheng that Mo Beihan was engaged to a village girl, she could not reconcile herself to the fact!
She felt that Mo Beihan must be blind!
How could she fancy someone with such poor taste?
But now that she had met Gu Qingyao, she felt like crying!
Why wasn’t she a man?
If she were a man, she would certainly grab Gu Qingyao and marry her. Why should Mo Beihan get such a bargain?
But she was a girl and none of her four elder brothers had the guts to challenge Mo Beihan. This made her really angry!
Now that she saw Mo Beihan, she could not stand him!
It was alright if he did not like her, but he had also taken away the girl she had identified to be her sister-in-law. He was her nemesis!
“Hmph!” Ji Mingyue grunted coldly. She flung herself on the couch and crossed her arms. “Why are you here?”
Her tone was unfriendly!
Mo Beihan: “…”
Mo Beihan did not have much of an impression of Ji Mingyue.
In his previous life, he only focused on work and Yao Yao. He did not pay much attention to anything else, especially women.
When he thought about it carefully, Yao Yao did have a friend in her previous life who was called Ji Mingyue. It was true that Ji Mingzhe was a close friend, but all he remembered about this girl from the Ji family was that her boyfriend was not too good, and he had ruined her reputation.
He did not remember anything else.
This time, he knew that the girl liked him. But despite her circumstances, she had actually become good friends with Yao Yao. When she found out that Yao Yao was his fiancée, she had not made trouble for her either.
This was sufficient to raise Ji Mingyue in Mo Beihan’s estimation.
He did not bother to quibble with the girl, but sought out Ji Mingzhe and recounted the incident.
Ji Mingzhe was shocked. “You… are you telling the truth?”
Mo Beihan nodded. “Would I deceive you about something like that?”
Ji Mingyue was also startled. She stood up abruptly. “What did you say? That Zhang Qiang was looking for Yao Yao? And he behaved in such a disgusting manner?”
