Chapter 845: The Qiao Family Returns To China (2)
She looked at all these things and thought about Mo Yunhao’s loving looks. For the first time, she viewed Mo Yunhao with new eyes.
Meanwhile, Gu Qingyao, Mo Beihan and Gu Jinhang were waiting at the capital’s airport. The Qiao family had finally returned.
Qiao Yuying, Gu Yunshen, then the two old folks, her oldest cousin and second cousin, as well as Qiao Yuying’s family emerged. Gu Qingyao could barely contain herself when she saw them.
“Mother! Mother…”
She had not seen her mother for half a year; she missed her.
Qiao Yuying’s eyes reddened at the sight of her daughter. She had not seen her daughter for such a long time; she missed her terribly. She had finally arranged all her affairs overseas and returned. From now on, she would not need to be apart from her daughter for so long.
“Mother!”
Mother and daughter embraced. Qiao Yuying hugged her daughter and refused to let go.
Meanwhile, Gu Yunshen, who was laden with baggage, looked contentedly at his wife and child.
Everyone exchanged greetings. Gu Qingyao could tell that her father was getting along very well with her grandmother. Her grandmother seemed very fond of her father. She had given her father a few tips before she left. It looked like he had put them to good use!
The Qin family were looking for Jiang Yiru. Today, Qin Li and Qin Si were here to meet the plane, while Jiang Yiru and Old Master Qin continued with their consultations.
Mo Beihan, Gu Qingyao and Gu Jinhang sent the Qiao family to their family mansion.
This was where the Qiao family had stayed in the past, and it was an enormous compound consisting of four wings. Now, their property had been returned, including some of their belongings.
Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihan had been tidying the place so that the Qiao family could stay there for the time being.
The house had been in a poor state. It had previously been divided up and assigned to many people as communal housing. The interior was dirty and unkempt, and many items were in terrible disrepair.
Of course, the Qiao family knew best what it looked like in the past. So Gu Qingyao had only repaired a portion of the compound so that everyone could move in for now.
She left the courtyards and other rooms for the Qiao family to slowly repair when they returned.
Old Master Qiao and Old Madam were grieved to see how dilapidated their old home of several decades had become. They had been forced to leave their home and had left many things behind. Now they could never get them back.
Gu Qingyao said, “Grandmother, don’t be sad. Things are just things, but we are still alive. As long as we’re still here, everything else is inconsequential.
“We can repair everything, and it will be as cozy as it was in the past.”
Old Master Qiao consoled her. “That’s right, our entire family is doing well now. This is no big deal.”
This was his old family home. How could he not be grieved to see it in this state?
But what could he do?
They were already fortunate to have preserved the entire family.
Sigh…
Everyone had their own rooms. Gu Qingyao settled everyone in.
She left Qiao Yuying’s room until the last. Gu Qingyao smiled and looked at her grandparents’ room which was not far off. Gu Yunshen was conscientiously helping them unpack their luggage. Gu Qingyao sneaked off to look for her mother.
“Mother, is my father getting along especially well with Grandma? Grandma seems to treat him even more affectionately than my older cousins.”
Qiao Yuying immediately laughed. “Only more affectionately than your older cousins? She even shows him more affection than she shows to me.”
Gu Qingyao’s eyes brightened. “Really?”
“Of course. The old lady has always enjoyed studying medicine, but none of the children in the family are willing to take on her mantle. But this is your father’s specialty! She had you in the past, but after you left, there was only your father left. Your grandmother now treats him better than her own sons!”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
