Chapter 210: Agreeing
“You can say that,” Mo Zhu replied indifferently.
Gao Qing nodded in understanding. “In that case, I have a favor to ask of you.”
After saying this, he gently reached out and pointed at the small wooden box on the bedside table not far away. “Ms. Mo, can you help bring this box back to Brother Guo? I’m already halfway into the grave. I’m afraid I won’t be able to see Brother Guo for the last ti. Ms. Mo, please pass this to him and tell Brother Guo that this box was left behind by Xiao Lan after he left.”
When she heard the two words ‘Xiao Lan’, Mo Zhu raised her eyebrows in surprise.
She had so impression of the na Xiao Lan. She had often heard Old Guo ntion her na.
When Gao Qing said this, he sighed unhurriedly and continued, “This girl is also very stubborn. No matter how many years he has been gone, she has still been constantly looking for him. The last ti she left ho, she even said that if she can’t find him in this life, she’ll continue to look for him in her next life.”
“Xiao Lan said that if anything happens to her accidentally one day, I have to help her bury this small box sowhere and she’ll just treat it as if she never had this relationship with Brother Guo.”
Gao Qing looked up at Mo Zhu, afraid that the girl was unwilling to help him with this. He quickly explained, “Ms. Mo, you might not know the inside story of this matter. Xiao Lan is my sister. She knew Brother Guo before and they have separated because of so other misunderstandings. It’s not convenient for to ntion the past. I only hope that you can help send this thing over. It can be considered my last worry.”
Seeing how sincere and confident the old man was, Mo Zhu nodded and stood up. She quickly took two steps and stuffed the small wooden box into her coat pocket.
Knowing that Mo Zhu was agreeing to his request, Gao Qing smiled happily and said, “In that case, I’ll thank you here, Ms. Mo. Thank you for willing to make a trip down to help with this personally. We’ve prepared a al for you. Please eat before you leave.”
When Mo Zhu heard this, she stood up and nodded before leaving Gao Qing’s room.
They slowly arrived at the main hall. At this mont, Gao Rong and Huo Xuan were discussing business casually. When he saw Mo Zhu walk out, Gao Rong imdiately stood up and asked respectfully, “Ms. Mo, how’s the discussion between you and my second uncle?”
Mo Zhu looked up and glanced at Gao Rong indifferently. She lowered her eyes thoughtfully and replied simply, “We’re done.”
After saying this, she seed to have recalled sothing. Mo Zhu turned to stare at Gao Rong and asked in confusion, “Back then, although the Gao family wasn’t the first among the noble families in Beijing, you could still be ranked in the top three. Why has your status fallen so much recently?”
Originally, Mo Zhu didn’t have much interest or understanding of the rankings and battles between the various families in Beijing, but because of Huo Xuan, she had more or less investigated the relevant information previously.
After checking, so of the contents surprised her. Although the situation in Beijing was complicated, the various families were still the leaders. She had originally thought that with the Gao family’s strength, they could still be ranked in the top three. She did not expect that they could barely squeeze into tenth place.
The Gao family’s business and developnt seed to be getting worse year by year.
Mo Zhu frowned tightly, as if she did not understand the twists and turns. Even if the Gao family had been slacking recently, their strength should not have fallen so quickly.
Before Mo Zhu could figure it out, Gao Rong revealed a bitter smile and said helplessly, “Ms. Mo, you might not know this, but ever since my father passed away, although I inherited the position of the Gao family’s master, it has always been my second uncle who is managing the entire Gao family. I believe you have seen it now. My second uncle is critically ill, and the wealthy families in Beijing have been thinking of ways to target us. They all want to have a share of the Gao family..”
