Chapter 909: The Eve Of The Wedding (1)
Mo Beihan was shocked!
This girl usually spoke so softly that just the sound of his voice enticed him. To him, his Yao Yao was also so gentle and kind. Perhaps it was because her life was more affluent when she was young. Yao Yao had never lacked anything, be it money or mental stimulation. Perhaps that was why his Yao Yao seldom appeared combative!
She spoke very softly, but her words always carried weight.
She was clearly signaling those old men not to dismiss him.
Mo Beihan’s heart warmed. He held her hand. “I understand. Don’t tire yourself out!”
Gu Qingyao nodded. “Uhm! I’ll go back and get some herbs. Don’t worry about the Old Master’s health. He’ll be fine after a period of recuperation.”
Mo Beihan nodded. Gu Qingyao drove back to the Qiao house.
She had the herbs that Old Master Mo needed in her interspace, but it was not convenient to take them out at the Mo house.
Gu Qingyao left. The old men were inwardly pleased to see the two young lovers getting along so well.
The Mo family did not lack power and status. They held high positions and were very wise in the worldly sense. They could tell from the rate that society was developing that freedom had returned and normality had been restored. At the moment, they needed more money, so they could continue living a comfortable life.
The Mo family had so many children and grandchildren. Surely they could not send all of them to work units?
There would always be some mediocre ones that the family would have to support. How could they support these members without money?
***
The old men left happily. Jiang Hongying, Mo Yunhao and Bai Youran were completely bewildered!
Today’s incident had been a severe blow to them. Almost everything they had worked towards for so many years was lost!
Old Master Mo said he would hand the family over to Mo Beihan and really did so. That day, he handed over all the important matters. He even handed all the assets over to Mo Beihan.
He focused on his own recuperation.
Subsequently, Gu Qingyao went over to the Mo house almost every day and spent most of her time there. She personally brewed medicine for the Old Master, prepared medicinal dishes, and helped him to exercise.
Gu Qingyao’s cooking was top-notch. She, however, had experienced the prosperity of later years and was naturally more particular about her food than most people currently were.
Although the Mo family’s kitchen servants could make many dishes, they were not chefs. In the past, people were not so particular and many resources were scarce. They were content with just filling their bellies. They were not so particular about taste.
So the cooking skills of the lady who worked in the kitchen were far inferior to that of Gu Qingyao.
She gaped as she watched Gu Qingyao cook!
You mean you could be so particular about food?
“Miss… Miss Gu? Where did you learn all this?”
She was so young but was such a good cook. But she was a rich young lady. Why was she such a good cook?
The other young wife in the family was also a rich young lady. Bai Youran had married into the Mo family for such a long time, but she had never darkened the kitchen door.
Gu Qingyao smiled. “I often cooked when I was living in my hometown. My grandfather is a doctor, and my father also studies medicine. I grew up in that kind of environment, so I’m used to making medicinal cuisine.
“I learnt even more when I was overseas. The Qiao family enjoyed eating Chinese dishes when they were overseas, and they cooked these dishes themselves, so I learnt a lot from the chef.”
The Old Master had medicinal dishes that were specially prepared for him. As for Grandma Mo, she had lighter, more nutritious dishes. Then there was a fish head with diced peppers that would go with rice, braised meatballs, braised prawns…
The lady who worked in the kitchen gulped. Just looking at them made her hungry!
