Gu Qingyao remained silent for a long while before she said, “I’ve really misjudged Fifth Cousin! I thought he was a playboy who would depend on the Gu family’s glory to bumble through life!”
Gu Jinhang laughed. “We didn’t expect Little Five to turn out like this either. He used to ignore his family responsibilities and just focused on having fun outside, so I thought he was rather selfish and overly reliant on the family! But he tumed out to be the clearest thinker.”
He was certainly a clear thinker!
One might say that Gu Jinxuan had done this in order to set the hearts of the entire Gu family at ease.
He had prioritized the family’s welfare and was not a burden to the family. He had acted cleanly and decisively.
He had clearly acted like that so that those who were in charge of the Gu family would not worry. In this way, as long as their generation of cousins was still around, even if Third Uncle’s branch of the family was the weakest, they could depend on their connection to the Gu family to shield them for two or
even three generations.
His EQ.
“Tm surprised! Fifth Cousin is actually so smart. Why didn’t I realize that about him in my previous life?”
In her previous life, Gu Jinxuan was not as successful as her other cousins. In Gu Qingyao’s eyes, it was Oldest Cousin, Second Cousin and Fourth Cousin who were the most successful in the Gu family.
Second Uncle’s family was the most powerful.
But in this lifetime, Fifth Cousin had forced her to sit up and take notice of him.
‘When Mo Beihan heard everything, he smiled and said, “The Gu family did not progress so quickly in our previous life. Don’t forget, at this time in our previous life, the Gu family had not yet moved to the capital! Your grandparents were still living in the village. Meanwhile, I hadn’t even established
myself in the capital.”
Gu Qingyao raised her brows and agreed.
People change. Different circumstances create different people.
Many things had changed after she and Mo Beihan were reborn. The Gu family had progressed too fast. Their success peaked almost immediately. In their previous life, this huge leap had taken the Gu family twenty years.
Gu Qingyao said to Mo Beihan, “How do you think Fifth Cousin will treat Third Aunt?”
Mo Beihans smiled. “If he really wants to eliminate the threat to his family, I think he might as well send Third Aunt back to the Zhou family for her to suffer a little. When her stupidity has been completely erased with suffering, she will comply in the future.
“She might not be reinstated in the future, but he will certainly make sure that she lacks for nothing for the rest of her life. Since his EQis so high, he should know that if he’s too vicious towards his own mother, the next generation to wield power in the Gu family will not really take him seriously.”
No one liked people who were too vicious. If he were to be completely merciless towards his own mother for the sake of profit, he would be considered firm, but also too vicious.
Gu Jinhang certainly would be displeased.
Gu Qingyao raised her brows and laughed. “I suddenly quite like Fifth Brother!”
It was always a pleasure to interact with someone like that.
High EQ, knew his boundaries, did not cause trouble, knew how to control himself and his family, but still had a warm heart and cared about family relationships. Someone like that was actually quite similar to Gu Jinhang, Gu Jinfeng and Gu Qingyao.
Gu Qingyao did not have such parents. But if she had, she would not allow her family to conduct themselves badly. She would certainly find a way to make them toe the line.
Only then would the family survive.
Important people like them had to do that to ensure the long-term stability of the family..
