Bai Youran had changed over the past few years. She was just a young girl then and was not so astute. Now that she was older and with Zheng Min’s guidance, she increasingly realized the importance of power and status.
She must retain her status as the Bai family’s young lady. Besides that, she must also retain her grandfather’s affections.
If she wanted to maintain her wealth and status, she must certainly marry into one of the best families.
She liked Mo Beihan, but his background had always bothered her. Now that she knew Mo Beihan was the Mo family’s eldest grandson, Bai Youran felt that marrying Mo Beihan was a certainty.
And with Zheng Min’s persuasion, Bai Youran was in no hurry!
After being goaded by Mo Beihan, Mo Yunhao began a furious campaign to win Bai Youran. Bai Youran enjoyed the feeling of being pursued. After considering the Mo family’s situation, she did not completely reject Mo Yunhao either. That was what her mother, Zheng Min, had taught her.
Time passed quickly. Winter was over and spring was approaching. Mo Beihan was very busy and was seldom at the Mo house. Mo Yunhao continued to be active in polite society. Mo Beihan really could not compete with him in terms of reputation.
But Mo Yunhao still had not settled matters with Bai Youran. Mo Beihan wanted to roll his eyes. This Mo Yunhao was so useless. Even after helping him so many times, he still had not sealed the deal.
However, Mo Beihan did not spend too much time thinking about them. He was aware that he presently did not have the ability to get rid of all these irritating people.
The upper class was too prejudiced against outsiders. He was from the countryside, and it was difficult for him to break into their social circle. Cementing his standing in the capital would be no easy feat.
Besides his status as the Mo family’s eldest grandson and his grandparents’ affection, he really did not have any other cards in hand. He was far behind other young men from good families who were born in the capital and who had been building their influence for many years.
It was not a matter of ability but a matter of time.
In his previous life, it had taken nearly ten years after joining the Mo family to get a firm foothold and wield real power.
With his previous life’s experience, he knew he would achieve this much faster in this life. But he was not infinitely resourceful, and he could not defeat everyone so soon after arriving.
The Bai family was not to be trifled with. He must have some ability of his own. He could not just depend on the Mo family.
Two years passed in a flash.
This stifling era finally ended, and the Gu family breathed a sigh of relief!
Mo Beihan maintained a low profile in the capital over the past two years, but his presence was increasingly felt. He was seldom in the capital. In fact, he was often away. Jiang Hongying and Mo Yunhao had been on their guard for two years, but the Old Master still showed no signs of designating his successor. This made them relax slightly.
With Mo Beihan goading him from time to time, Mo Yunhao was now determined to marry Bai Youran!
To Mo Yunhao, marrying Bai Youran symbolized defeating Mo Beihan. Even though Jiang Hongying wanted him to marry as soon as possible and have children, Mo Yunhao refused. So matters dragged on until today!
At the Gu family.
Mo Beihan looked at Gu Jinfeng and smiled. “Well? Have you made up your mind?”
Gu Jinfeng raised his brows and crossed his arms. “I have nothing to lose. But can you bear to give up your bright future in the Mo family?”
