Chapter 685: Can’t Wait Any Longer (4)
He knew it. He knew Yao Yao was sure to enjoy her present lifestyle.
Mo Beihan smiled. “Hurry up and eat. I’ll send you to class this afternoon, and when school is over, I’ll bring you to see your fourth cousin.”
“Oh… ah?” Gu Qingyao almost leapt to her feet in surprise. “What did you say?”
Mo Beihan said, “Your fourth cousin. He came with me this time, but he’s not in this school. He’s studying in your previous school.”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
“Why didn’t you say so earlier?” Gu Qingyao glared at him.
Mo Beihan said inwardly, If I had told you earlier, would you have kept me company for the past two days?
“I was afraid you would be impatient! I’ve just started school and can’t take leave. I’ll worry if you go back by yourself! There’s a holiday coming up, so I’ll bring you back.”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
She did not say anything else but hurried through her meal. Gu Qingyao had lessons in the afternoon while Mo Beihan went to the library.
By the time Gu Qingyao’s lessons were over, Mo Beihan was waiting for her.
Gu Qingyao had her own car to make it more convenient for her to get back to the Qiao house.
The Qiao family said that they would send a driver to fetch her every holiday, but Gu Qingyao thought it was too troublesome. Anyway, she had many matters to attend to and might not always go home, so she had bought a car for convenience.
The two of them got into the car and drove to look for Gu Jinfeng.
They arrived at Gu Jinfeng’s hotel in two hours.
Mo Beihan had told Gu Jinfeng about this hotel before he left. He told him to stay there, and when he found Gu Qingyao, they would look for him.
Gu Jinfeng wondered how Mo Beihan had known about this hotel.
Mo Beihan simply said that Zhao Mingjiang had told him about it.
Once they reached the hotel, finding Gu Jinfeng was a simple matter.
Gu Jinfeng had spent the past two days rather awkwardly. Unlike Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihan, who had experienced the luxury of later years and who had gone overseas and knew what other countries were like, he was completely lost.
He had just arrived and was not used to anything here.
Fortunately, Zhao Mingjiang told him what he had to take note of overseas. At the moment, he was congratulating himself that he had learnt many foreign words from the old folks in his hometown.
Although he was initially not used to the way the foreigners spoke, as he listened, he began to follow. Basic communication was not a problem.
He could not get used to the high cost of living overseas. Although Zhao Mingjiang’s words had prepared him mentally, he found it hard to accept when he really experienced it.
Once he exchanged the money he had brought, he realized that it would not last long. Fortunately, his grandfather had given him plenty of gold and jewels before he left. With that, he could at least get by.
It was a holiday tomorrow. He was just thinking of looking for his younger cousin, but he had no way of contacting Mo Beihan and was afraid that if he left, Mo Beihan would not be able to find him. So he had no choice but to wait in his room.
When Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihan knocked and entered, Gu Jinfeng grew incredibly excited.
“Fourth Cousin!” When Gu Qingyao saw Gu Jinfeng, she was so happy that she rushed over.
She had not seen her family for more than three years. When Gu Qingyao saw her older cousin who doted on her, she was overwhelmed by a rush of affection.
Gu Jinfeng caught his younger cousin in his arms as she rushed over. “Yao Yao! Girl, you haven’t been home for more than three years. Everyone back home is so worried about you!”
“Um, um, um…” Gu Qingyao murmured as she nuzzled his shoulder. “I didn’t do it on purpose! I really missed all of you too!”
