Rebirth: Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife Chapter 1201 - Mysterious Man (4)

Chapter 1201 Mysterious Man (4)

New Year arrived, and the entire capital was in a festive mood.

Their lives improved year after year, and their hopes had grown, so New Year celebrations grew increasingly elaborate.

Gu Qingyao gave the children at home red packets, and on the second day of the New Year, she brought Little One back to her family to pay their New Year’s call.

That day, the entire Gu family was present.

Eldest Uncle’s family, Third Uncle’s family, Gu Yunshen, and Qiao Yuying were all there. Eldest Cousin and Third Cousin were already married, but their wives had not gone to visit their families. Instead, they were here at Second Uncle’s home.

They all knew that Gu Qingyao would visit her family on the second day of the New Year, so they instinctively set the day aside. They either visited their families on the first day of the New Year or after the second day.

Sometimes, this was the best gauge of a person’s abilities. When you’re so outstanding, your family members will naturally accommodate you and put you first.

Second Uncle’s family was the most powerful within the Gu family. Second Uncle was a powerful man, and his position was increasingly becoming stable. Second Cousin Gu Jinhang had advanced at terrifying speed. Among the younger generation, there were few who could compare with him.

Fourth Cousin’s business had taken off, and Second Uncle’s family grew increasingly rich. With Gu Qingyao steadily holding the position as the young Madam Mo, Mo Beihan practically obeyed her every wish.

The entire Gu family and Mo family were sharing resources.

So all the sons and grandsons in the Gu family enjoyed the protection that this large organization brought them. With the Gu family and the Mo family to support them, the Gu sons and grandsons stood proud among the important families in the city, and few dared to offend them.

That was the importance of family background.

These few crucial people were the pillars of the Gu and Mo families. Naturally, everyone was used to putting them first.

Eldest Uncle’s family included the eldest son and grandson, but their combined power had fallen further and further behind that of Second Uncle’s family.

If Eldest Cousin Gu Jinye did not repress them, who knew how many outsiders would use this to try to sow discord between Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle’s families!

Old Master and Old Madam continued to live with Second Uncle. They were used to it and so did not move.

Today, children were running everywhere in the house. Laughter and chatter filled the Gu house.

Gu Qingyao pulled Gu Fangting aside and asked softly, “How are you and Jiang Xun lately? You started courting five years ago. How long has it been? Why haven’t I heard you mention marriage?

“Why do I sense that something is amiss with the two of you lately?”

Although they were still young, they were not that young. It was time that they got married.

If it was someone that she did not know well, she would not bother about them. But this was Gu Fangting and Jiang Xun.

They had grown up together and were childhood sweethearts. They knew everything about each other. Five years ago… actually, it was now six years ago. They had been together for six years.

They studied together, started a business together, and did everything together. If their relations.h.i.+p was fine, Gu Qingyao would not especially pull Gu Fangting aside to question her.

But she recently noticed that something was amiss between the two of them.

Gu Fangting bit her lip. Her eyes were rather red. “Older Cousin, our positions within the family is still a problem.

“You are my older cousin, but Brother Jiang Xun is Mu Mu’s older cousin, and Cousin-in-law is his uncle. We…”

Gu Qingyao frowned. “Wasn’t this solved years ago? No one in the family objects!”

“It’s true that Jiang Xun is Mu Mu’s older cousin, but he’s my teacher’s grandnephew. If we follow the Jiang family hierarchy, he would be in my generation. Big families have so many children and grandchildren. There are plenty of older people who belong to a younger generation.”
