Chapter 839: It’s Okay that She Was Not the Biological Daughter (2)

Bai Chi was taken aback. “Are you sure she’s really Gu Qingyao’s biological mother? Is her word sufficient to prove that Gu Qingyao is not the Gu family’s daughter? Does she have proof?”
Bai Youran’s expression turned rather ugly.
Proof?
The proof was that she was actually one of the twins. But how could she say something like that?
“Well, Zhang Xiaohui can’t possibly be lying about something like that. If she says so, it must be true.”
Bai Chi burst out laughing. “If she has no proof, nothing will change.”
“Why?” Bai Youran asked in irritation.
Bai Chi laughed. “I know what Older Brother said that day. What he said made sense. Although it seems incredible to us, Mo Beihan has done it. If he did not care about this fiancée, why would he insist on going overseas to look for her?”
Bai Youran lost her temper. “That’s impossible. What’s so good about Gu Qingyao? Why should Mo Beihan care about her?”
Bai Chi smiled. “Gu Qingyao is pretty! To be honest, there are plenty of pretty girls, but it is rare to find someone like Gu Qingyao, whose beauty is bone-deep. She has the innate beauty of a refined young lady. Many men will be charmed by such beauty.
“Plenty of men would give up everything for a beautiful woman. What if Mo Beihan is one of them? Also, Old Master Mo dotes on him. That fellow, Mo Yunhao, has not achieved anything much after twenty years in the Mo family. In the three years Mo Beihan was away, he did not achieve anything either. So if Mo Beihan is truly capable, then Mo Yunhao is no cause for concern.”
Bai Youran was livid with rage.
“The Mo family will never consent to having a bastard marry into the family to become the matriarch.”
Bai Chi chuckled. “All right, based on your logic, if the two families are making an alliance for their mutual benefit, why do you think the Mo family needs the Gu family? The Mo family is such a wealthy family. How many other families ran aground in the past? But Old Master Mo managed to preserve the Mo family despite the chaotic situation. Do you think the Mo family is to be trifled with?
“If they have taken a fancy to the Gu family, then all that matters is that Gu Qingyao was raised by the Gu family and they all dote on her. Who cares if she is their biological daughter! The two families just need a daughter to marry into the Mo family.”
Bai Youran: “…”
“Besides, if you think the Gu family dotes on Gu Qingyao because of their relationship, what about Gu Ruoqing? Isn’t she also a daughter of the Gu family? Do you think anyone in the Gu family still remembers her? The family even treats their granddaughter from a daughter better than they do Gu Ruoqing. Gu Qingyao is such a pretty and sensible girl. Even if the Gu family finds out she is not really related to them, it won’t change how they treat her.
“They’ve raised her for so many years, they might as well continue supporting her. When she marries into the Mo family, it will greatly benefit the Gu family. What’s wrong with that?”
Bai Youran: “…”
She had not expected Bai Chi to say such things. She had assumed that if she could find a way to make the Gu family believe that Gu Qingyao was not their daughter, that would solve all her problems.
Bai Youran turned pale, then livid. “What should I do then? Is there nothing I can do? I have such juicy information about her, surely it must be of some use?”
Bai Chi looked at Bai Youran and suddenly asked, “Are you determined to marry Mo Beihan?”
“Of course!”
“Why!”
“Because I love him!”
Bai Chi chortled. “And if he’s a beggar, would you still love him?”
“If he were not the Mo family’s eldest grandson, would you still love him?”
