Gu Fangting listened earnestly.
Gu Qingyao said, “Now things that many people in China think are only for the rich are only very ordinary tools to them. Other countries have been developing for a longer time, and you cannot imagine how prosperous they are. If we have the chance, I’ll bring you overseas.”
Gu Fangting was incredibly excited when she heard they were going overseas. “Really? Older Cousin, you’re awesome! I know some people who returned after studying overseas. All of them talk about how wonderful things are overseas, and they despise things in China. They look at us as if we are country bumpkins. To be honest, I really want to see the wonderful things they talked about for myself.”
Gu Qingyao flipped through the accounts as she replied, “Don’t listen to their nonsense. It’s true that other countries are more developed, but don’t be like them, forgetting your own country after you have seen what other countries are like. They are of a different race, and their thinking is different. Even if you praise other countries to the skies, people will not think highly of you.
“In another few decades, China will also progress rapidly. Then we won’t have to envy anything overseas. We will only be respected overseas when our own country has grown powerful. It’s just like any of the other wealthy families.
“Now our family background is sufficiently powerful. Even if we were useless, other people would still treat us with courtesy.”
Gu Fangting was taken aback. “That’s right! That makes sense. Older Cousin, you really know how to put things across.”
When Gu Qingyao was done, she stood up and said, “It’s late, let’s go! I’ll bring you to Jin Jiang Restaurant for a meal.”
Gu Fangting’s eyes brightened. She immediately said fawningly, “Great, great! It’s so nice to have a patron. Hahahaha!”
Jin Jiang Restaurant!
It was desperately expensive. Even though she had a small fortune, she could not bear to go there. It was so very expensive!
But the food was delicious!
With a tycoon like Gu Qingyao around, Gu Fangting had a wonderful meal, and she was delighted.
Gu Qingyao drove Gu Fangting home, then went back to the Mo house.
The next day, Gu Qingyao went to work as usual. Around 10 am, she suddenly received a call from home. It was Grandma Mo. She said they had guests, which was her great-aunt’s family. She asked Gu Qingyao to hurry back and host them.
Great-aunt?
Gu Qingyao was bewildered. Since when did the Mo family have a Great-aunt?
She had not heard of such a person in her previous life?
“It’s your grandfather’s younger sister, a half-sister from a concubine. She married long ago and moved far away, but then something happened to her husband’s family, and we lost contact. To our surprise, we heard from them today. They have a large family of about ten or so. Your aunt is working overseas, so I had no choice but to turn to you.”
The Mo family’s Young Uncle, Mo Wei’s wife, also had her own job. Coincidentally, she was overseas on business, and now the Mo family suddenly had so many guests that Grandma Mo naturally turned to her granddaughter-in-law, Gu Qingyao. She was now the mistress of the Mo family, so it was best for Gu Qingyao to come back and make the arrangements.
“All right. Don’t panic, Grandma. I’m coming back now.”
Grandma Mo had not been in a good state recently. It was not surprising that she had no energy to host them.
But Gu Qingyao frowned at Grandma Mo’s tone. Grandma seemed a little displeased.
Gu Qingyao immediately drove home. When she got home, she saw many people sitting in the Mo house’s living room. There were adults and children. Fruits had been laid out on the living room table, but the children had gobbled them all, and the seeds and peel littered the ground.
