Chapter 1171 The Qiao family Returns To China (2)
Gu Qingyao left Jin Jiang Restaurant and drove home. She had just finished showering when her mother, Qiao Yuying, called.
“Have you heard? The Huo family is coming back.”
Gu Qingyao said, “I know. Fifth Cousin told me just now. I suppose our people should know by now.”
Qiao Yuying said, “Yao Yao, I’m not sure what the Huo family is up to. Be careful. They may not dare to do anything bad, but they are definitely not going to do anything good either. Considering their previous relationship with me, they may not accept that I have left my business to you.”
Gu Qingyao laughed, “Don’t worry, Mother! I know. Don’t worry about it, just focus on your work. I know what to do.
“Also! Brother Beihan probably knew about this before us, but he didn’t mention it, which means… there’s nothing to worry about.”
Qiao Yuying immediately smiled. She was entirely satisfied with this son-in-law who adored her daughter. “Great, great. With Beihan to take care of you, I won’t worry. All right, I won’t disturb you. Go and rest!”
Mo Beihan had come out of Little One’s room by then. Gu Qingyao was leaning back in bed, dressed in her pajamas.
“Back so soon? Where’s our son?”
Mo Beihan smiled, “Asleep!”
Gu Qingyao was startled. “So early? It’s only 9 o’clock, and he’s asleep?”
The brat was a fiend, and with his noble status, his doting family, a group of adoring older cousins and his intelligence, he was often full of tricks.
In the past, he would have run over here to play. Why was he sleeping so early today? Mo Beihan said, “He’s so young! He learnt so many things today, it’s no wonder he’s tired! He’s sound asleep!”
Gu Qingyao did not know what to say.
“You did it on purpose, didn’t you? He’s still young! Learning must take place gradually. Don’t force him to learn so much at once.” Mo Beihan pulled her into his arms. “Don’t worry! He’s my son too. I know my limits.”
Gu Qingyao looked at him suspiciously. You’re always vying with the child for attention. Are you sure you know your limits?
“Why didn’t you tell me that the Huo family is coming back?”
Mo Beihan paused. “You know about it?” “Um! The Gu family and the Qiao family all know by now.”
Mo Beihan thought about it. “Um! It’s about time the news reached us. It’s not a big deal. It would only bother you if I told you. If they want to come back, let them come back!”
Gu Qingyao frowned. “What does that mean?”
Mo Beihan said, “I know what you’re thinking, but there’s no hurry. The Huo family is not so simple. Let them come back and see what they’re up to before we make any plans.”
Gu Qingyao raised her eyebrows in interest. “What? What new things can this Huo family come up with?”
Mo Beihan laughed. “What else? Just… some shady deals that they’re involved in overseas. I’m waiting to see what they do when they come back to China, then I’ll slowly deal with them. Don’t get rid of them the moment they return.”
Gu Qingyao leaned against him lazily. “Since they have some problems, I, of course, will take my time. I guess that they’re not wary of us at all. That puts us at an advantage.”
Mo Beihan stroked her head to show that he agreed.
They had a good night’s sleep since the little fellow did not come in to make trouble!
The Huo family’s return to China progressed even slower than Mo Beihan expected. Even Mo Beihan grew rather impatient!
