Chapter 217 What else do you want?
Qin Moyu was originally very sensitive, but Mo Shangan's words stabbed into her heart like a knife.
Tough words only made her appear more vulnerable, but Gu Beicheng stood by her without hesitation, giving her enough sense of security.
“Beicheng, this woman is not suitable for you. How do you want me to tell you the gap between you two?”
"We're fine, and I don't need anyone to tell me."
No matter how capable Mo Shangan is, he still has many students all over the world but still suffers from the pain of not being able to control his son.
Gu Beicheng took Qin Moyu's hand and walked past her. "In that case, let's go home together, so you don't have other ideas."
Gu Beicheng's move hit the nail on the head, and even Qin Moyu couldn't find a reason to refuse him.
Mo Shangan's face looked very unhappy all the time. She returned to the old house and she couldn't control herself. It felt like something was blocking her heart.
For a wealthy family like theirs, the last thing they could do was look down on the other party's family background. That would seem too unreasonable, but... she had revealed her cards and could no longer pretend.
Gu Beicheng's father, Gu Jingnian, was better than her. Although he didn't really agree with her from the bottom of his heart, he treated Qin Moyu as a guest and was very polite to her.
Mo Shangan sat on the sofa, feeling just like she was in prison, as if there were needles growing out of the sofa, pricking her butt.
Mo Shangan couldn't bear it any longer. Halfway through his meal, he saw Gu Jingnian and Gu Beicheng talking and laughing with Qin Moyu, and they were also chatting about work and future plans.
Mo Shangan couldn't help but rolled his eyes at Gu Jingnian.
Gu Jingnian pretended not to see it and thought to himself, since the person is here, I can’t chase him away. It’s also New Year’s Day and that would be unlucky.
"You guys eat, I'll go up first."
"Mom, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Gu Beicheng asked in a pretentious tone, "If you feel uncomfortable, I'll make you a bowl of noodles later."
"Can you still go down there?"
Mo Shangan was about to laugh, "You are my son, and I didn't know you were capable of that."
Qin Moyu: "Auntie, the food below the North City is especially delicious."
"Of course, I learned it especially for you."
Mo Shangan's eyes became even uglier. He snorted coldly and turned to go upstairs.
Gu Jingnian saw it all, but he had to give Gu Beicheng a look, signaling him not to be so irritating.
Gu Beicheng didn't take it seriously. He was afraid that if he didn't do this, Qin Moyu wouldn't be able to see his determination and would become even less confident.
He liked to see Qin Moyu's arrogant look, rather than being timid and fearful, afraid of both wolves in front and tigers behind.
"Can Moyu play chess?"
"know a little."
Before Qin Moyu could say anything, Gu Beicheng answered directly, "We two can beat you alone, okay?"
Qin Moyu looked doubtful. How could she play chess? She didn't know how to do it.
"North City..."
"Then go outside and bask in the sun, and we two will beat you up."
The sun was shining brightly, and Chuyi was basking in the sun with cut fruits at hand. Gu Beicheng and Qin Moyu sat together, with Gu Jingnian sitting opposite them. It was a rare leisure time.
Gu Jingnian and Gu Beicheng look very similar, both are a bit fierce, but Gu Jingnian looks more stable than Gu Beicheng, as steady as an old dog, and there is a sense of intimacy when getting along with him.
Qin Moyu didn't know how to play chess at all, so it was always Gu Beicheng who played. The man sitting next to her was very honest today, looking seriously at the chessboard in front of him.
Upstairs, Mo Shangan was so angry that she wanted to curse. She was standing on the balcony, also basking in the sunshine, looking at the family of three living in harmony in the garden downstairs, and she couldn't help but get angry.
The nanny was standing next to her, holding a coffee cup, and was startled by her sudden voice.
"He is a good guy. It was clearly agreed upon, but now he is pretending to be a good guy."
"They've brought the person back, could it be..." the nanny interrupted and was glanced at by Mo Shang'an.
"Well, I'm the only bad guy. If he wants to hold a grudge, he will only hold a grudge against me. Gu is really smart. He shot the first bird to stick its head out, so he let me be the pioneer first. Now he is innocent and it has nothing to do with him."
The nanny stood aside and suddenly stopped talking. Mo Shangan said, "You go and watch. I want to see what tricks she can play. What kind of vixen she is going to act under my nose..."
The day passed quickly, playing chess and taking walks, it was extremely harmonious.
In the afternoon, Gu Beicheng took Qin Moyu outside to fly a kite.
Jiangcheng is a coastal city and the wind may blow at any time and anywhere.
Gu Beicheng and Qin Moyu went to fly kites not far away. The chessboard was still on the table. Gu Jingnian sat upright, holding a cup of tea and about to touch his lips, but Mo Shangan suddenly came over and snatched it away.
"What do you mean?"
"what?"
Gu Jingnian looked puzzled, "What did you say?"
"What can I say? It was you who asked me to take the initiative to find her and let her back off."
"Did I say that?"
"That was the result of our discussion. Why, you are the good guy now, and I am the biggest villain?"
"That's not what I meant. Don't say things that are not conducive to unity."
Gu Jingnian sighed, "I asked you to come forward and say it just to test it out. Since you know it won't work, then let's stop here. Beicheng likes it so much, so let him be."
"What about me? I became a joke. I even deliberately let someone spread the news that Li Ying accompanied me shopping. What did you say when I told you? You said the Li family is not bad." Mo Shangan became excited and sat opposite him. "Gu Jingnian, you want me to be a bad guy, do you have the nerve to do that?"
Gu Jingnian: "I also want him to listen to me, does he listen to me?"
After observing for a while, Gu Jingnian finally understood and it was unlikely that he would be shaken. It was obvious that Gu Beicheng was sticking to Qin Moyu.
Not to mention the Li family, even if the royal relatives came over and asked him to choose one, he would only choose Qin Moyu.
"Then let me take the lead."
"You're the one who keeps telling me that the Qin family is too complicated, and that neither Qin Jianming nor Gao Lan is a good person. I can't stop you, right?"
Mo Shangan stood up and said, "Okay, it's all my fault, it's all my fault!"
In the evening, Gu Beicheng asked Qin Moyu to stay overnight at the old house, and Gu Jingnian didn't say anything.
During dinner, Mo Shangan deliberately tripped Gu Beicheng up and wanted to eat with his chopsticks, but Qin Moyu hit him and said, "Beicheng, go call Auntie."
Upon hearing this, Gu Beicheng pulled Qin Moyu along and then called Mo Shangan to the living room to eat together.
Mo Shangan did come and stopped being tense, but he didn't say a word during the meal until Gu Beicheng finished eating and pulled Qin Moyu upstairs.
After the person left, she raised her eyes, her face heavy, "Could this be the only possible outcome?"
Gu Jingnian asked, "What else do you want?"
"You made me take the lead."
"Someone has to step up, and it can't be me. Is that appropriate?"
"Why can't you show up?"
Gu Jingnian replied, "I have only seen vicious mothers-in-law making things difficult for their daughters-in-law, but how can I see a vicious father-in-law making things difficult for his daughter-in-law?"
Mo Shangan: ...
