Rebirth: Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife

Chapter 678: Meeting Overseas (2)

In the three years since Mo Beihan had moved to the capital, he had familiarized himself with all the Mo family affairs. Over the past couple of years, he had been almost constantly helping the Old Master with his business. If he continued working like that, he would certainly have a bright future.

As his status grew, it would be understandable if the Old Master made him the Mo family successor.

But in this life, Mo Beihan had been suppressing the issue and preventing the Old Master from mentioning the question of succession.

Now he was actually leaving at this crucial juncture. The Old Master could not figure it out.

“Beihan! Are you… really going overseas? Aren’t you doing perfectly well in China? Why do you want to leave now?”

The era had finally passed, and things were now opening up. All the major families were advancing once more. This was a golden opportunity, but Mo Beihan wanted to leave. Old Master Mo was mystified.

Mo Beihan smiled. “Grandfather, I won’t be gone for long. Also, we must take the long view. In the future, the Mo family will not be limited to the capital alone. You have to let me travel.”

Old Master Mo did not say anything.

Mo Beihan continued, “You are currently in good health, and Chengrui has grown up sufficiently to be of some help. It won’t be a problem if I leave for a few years. Also…”

Mo Beihan smiled, “As you can tell from the current circumstances, there will probably be even greater freedom in two years. Then it will be a simple matter to travel in and out of the country. I will come back.”

Despite his words, Old Master Mo was still reluctant to let him go.

“You were away for so many years. We feel very guilty about it. You’ve only been back for a short while, and now you want to leave!”

Mo Beihan said helplessly, “Grandfather, I’ve already been back for three years!”

“Is three years a long time?” Old Master Mo glared at him.

Compared to the more than twenty years he had spent growing up, Old Master Mo felt the three years was too short for him to properly compensate his obedient grandson.

Mo Beihan said, “Grandfather, I’m so young, you have to let me see the world. It can’t be good for me to be cooped up in the capital all the time, can it? With Grandfather to help me behind the scenes, it will be easy for me to gain a firm foothold in the capital or have my own achievements. Two or three years won’t matter.”

Old Master Mo was still rather displeased. He knew that this grandson was no ordinary person!

Over the past few years, he had come to deeply appreciate his intelligence and iron will. To be honest, he was sometimes in awe of his grandson’s ruthless methods. He was only in his early twenties, how had he learnt such ruthlessness?

With his abilities, the Mo family really would not provide him with sufficient scope.

After interacting with him for three years, the Old Master knew that once his grandson had made up his mind, it would be difficult to change it. He was very determined and always considered every decision carefully. Although Old Master Mo was reluctant to let him go, he had no choice.

But he felt it was rather strange.

All these years, he had groomed Mo Beihan as his successor. He had not hidden any of the Mo family’s business from him. It was true that Mo Beihan had done his best for the Mo family for the past three years and had whole-heartedly planned for the family, but he somehow felt that his grandson’s heart was not entirely with the Mo family.

He sensed that Mo Beihan was rather indifferent about being the Mo family successor!

Old Master Mo could not quite describe that feeling.

Meanwhile, the Gu family was equally reluctant to let Gu Jinfeng go.

Although Second Aunt was reluctant to see him go, she took it well. “You must be careful when you are traveling alone. The Gu family is not there, and you have no friends and relatives. If anything happens to you, you won’t be able to find help.”
