Rebirth: Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife

The eldest son, Mo Huai, was useless. The brother-in-law was indifferent towards family matters. At present, the large Mo family fell entirely on Old Master Mo’s shoulders. Mo Yunhao was a typical playboy. As the Bai family’s eldest grandson, Bai Fei naturally paid close attention to Mo Beihan.

Of next importance was Mo Chengrui of the fourth generation.

If both Mo Beihan and Mo Chengrui could not rise to the occasion, the Mo family was as good as finished.

Bai Fei did not pay much attention to the others.

The other children were still young, and Old Master Mo was very old. Who knew how many more years he could last. Perhaps he would no longer be around by the time the other children grew up.

Old Master Bai frowned. “If Old Master Mo really dotes on this eldest grandson, he would make a good match for him to support him. Who is that fiancée of his? Why didn’t we hear news of his engagement?”

“No! She’s not Beihan’s fiancée. She’s not worthy of him!”

Old Master Bai was talking to Bai Fei when Bai Youran suddenly rushed downstairs, screaming and shouting.

Old Master Bai frowned and looked up to see his usually pretty granddaughter’s face twisted viciously.

Bai Youran rushed over and said to Old Master Bai, “Grandfather, that Gu Qingyao cannot possibly be Mo Beihan’s fiancée. Old Master Mo has identified Mo Beihan as his successor. He has no support from his mother’s family, so Old Master Mo will certainly find a girl from a wealthy family and have a high profile engagement so that he can announce Mo Beihan’s status to the entire capital. How could he possibly make a match with a girl from a lowly background?

“I know that Gu Qingyao. She’s the Gu family’s daughter. She’s actually their niece and not their daughter. She’s been studying overseas. She’s been back for a long time and still hasn’t found a job. Now she lives with her Second Uncle. She’s useless.

“Her father used to be a farmer. Now the two old folks from the Gu family are living with their second son, so when Gu Qingyao returned to China, she also moved in with her Second Uncle.”

Gu Family?

Old Master Bai and Bai Fei frowned.

The Gu family had been advancing in the capital for many years now. In the past, their progress had been impeded by their family background, but now that society was opening up, they were advancing rapidly.

Old Master Mo had been promoting the Gu family.

The Gu family’s second son, Gu Yuncheng, was currently progressing well. They had heard about the grandsons as well. But they had not heard that the Gus had a granddaughter!

They vaguely recalled that the Gu family had a granddaughter through their daughter. Many who wanted to make a marriage alliance with the Gu family had targeted this granddaughter because the Gus had no daughters.

Since when did the Gu family have another granddaughter?

Old Master Bai continued to furrow his brow as he said to Bai Fei. “Go and find out what is really going on. A marriage alliance between the Mos and the Gus cannot be good news for us.

“No matter whether Mo Beihan is capable or not, it cannot be good for us if the Gu family’s daughter marries into the Mo family. The Gu family’s grandsons are all very talented. With the Mo family’s support, they can go far.”

​ Bai Fei nodded. “I understand, Grandfather!”

In contrast, they were even more eager for Bai Youran to marry Mo Beihan.

The Mo family business was so big that anyone would want a share.

If Mo Beihan was really capable, then it would be advantageous to the Bai family if Bai Youran married him.

If Mo Beihan was not capable, then based on his status as the Mo family’s eldest grandsons and the support of his four nephews, the Bai family, together with that faction of the Mo family, might provide Mo Beihan with the support to become the head of the family. Then the Bai family would control the entire Mo family.
