“A person like her appears to love her daughter, and everything she does is for her daughter’s good. But actually, she treats her daughter as a tool. She will manipulate her daughter as she wishes. Everything she says is right, and her daughter is wrong to protest.”
Mu Mu frowned. In that case, Zhong Bingyuan’s life would be hard.
Mu Mu looked at Gu Qingyao. “Aunt, Yuan Yuan is innocent. Please treat her? She’s a very nice person. She is just thirteen years old, surely she can’t go on without any memories of her past.”
Gu Qingyao looked at Mu Mu in surprise. “Do you know her very well?”
“Uhm!” Mu Mu nodded. “I’ve been going to the stall frequently, and I’ve known her for some time. She’s only thirteen, but she’s very intelligent. This time, she felt that it would not be good for you if Madam Zheng continued to make a fuss in public. That was why she agreed to go back to the Zhong house for a visit.”
Mu Mu walked over the Gu Qingyao and squatted down in front of her. “Aunt, please help Yuan Yuan this once, all right? As for her mother, we will find a way to deal with her in the future. Don’t be angry, all right?”
Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihan exchanged glances. They could see each other’s shock!
Gu Qingyao asked curiously, “Mu Mu! Are you begging me? Are you… coaxing me?”
Mu Mu, “…”
Mu Mu lowered his head and did not say anything.
Gu Qingyao smiled. “All right, I did not really intend to ignore Yuan Yuan. I only meant for Zheng Lin to hear it and convey the message to the Zhong family. Then the Zhong family will deal with Zheng Lin for me.
“No matter what, Yuan Yuan is Qing Qing’s younger sister. Besides… for our Mu Mu’s sake, I will certainly not abandon her!”
For some reason, Mu Mu blushed a little.

Before long, Old Master Zhong and Zhong Guangping arrived at the Mo house, bearing many gifts. They were very reasonable. Old Master Zhong’s reputation in the capital was sound, and he was a fine old man. Mo Beihan did not make things too difficult for them.
But Mo Beihan did not mince his words regarding Zheng Lin’s treatment of Gu Qingyao. Old Master Zhong and Zhong Guangping promised to deal with Zheng Lin properly when they got home. At last, the matter was resolved.
Zhong Bingyuan insisted on going back to the Chen house.

Gu Jinhang and Ji Mingyue’s engagement date was fixed and the two families began their preparations. The news of their wedding spread throughout the capital’s upper class.
In the past, only a few people knew. Now, almost everyone knew.
The Gu family and the Qiao family were related, and Gu Qingyao, the Gu family’s granddaughter, had married into the Mo family. That alone gave the Gu family great standing. Besides, Gu Jinhang was the successor and was well-known in the capital for being a talented young man.
Naturally, it was a good match.
Jealous people came popping out of the woodwork.
So, for some reason, everyone in the capital began talking about how Ji Mingyue had liked Mo Beihan in the past.
Gu Jinhang frowned when he heard it and raised his brows.
His wife had liked Mo Beihan in the past?
The fox rubbed his chin. Why did he not know about this?
He thoughtfully went to look for his wife.
When Ji Mingyue saw that something was amiss with Gu Jinhang and heard his questions, she involuntarily shrank back and looked guilty.
“That… I … They’re talking nonsense. I’ve never liked Mo Beihan! Brother Jinhang, I only like you. Really, it has always been you!”
Gu Jinhang smiled, which caused Ji Mingyue to break out in goosebumps.
“Is that so? Little one, you had better not lie! I will certainly find out.”
“Tell me quickly.. Those who confess will be dealt with leniently. Those who refuse to confess will be severely punished!”
