1199: Mysterious Man (2)

Mysterious Man (2)

Gu Qingyao shook her head. "Surely not! The Huo family has been copying the Qiao family for so many years. They imitate the form, but not the substance. Based on their temperament, even if they were copying Jin Jiang Restaurant, they would just find a large place in the capital, decorate it grandly in a style similar to Jin Jiang Restaurant, then push out all kinds of delicacies and charge such exorbitant prices that ordinary people dare not enter. Then they will hype it up, and that will be all!" 1

Mo Beihan nodded when he heard that. "That's true. Even if they really wanted to copy you, surely they wouldn't send someone as ignorant as Huo Tianning as a spy."

"Then what is he doing there? Is he really trying all the dishes?" Gu Qingyao could not figure it out.

Mo Beihan said, "I'll send someone to investigate."

Little One raised his head. "It must be that he has nowhere to spend his money. Mother, why bother with him? It's good that he's spending money there. Anyway, the restaurant belongs to our family. It's great that he goes there every day and eats every meal there!"

Mo Beihan looked at him silently.

Gu Qingyao patted his head. "Of course, it's good that he spends money there. Father and Mother are just being cautious. Who knows what he has up his sleeve! There's no harm in investigating it properly."

Little One pushed the toy in his hand and said, "Hasn't he been asking around for information about you? He must be going to these places because of you. He probably thinks that you like the food in Jin Jiang Restaurant, so he's trying to understand more so that he can have a common interest.

"Oh, I've also heard that some ladies who want to make friends with you but have no connections sometimes go to Jin Jiang Restaurant or the fish and pickles restaurant to wait for an opportunity. Many people in the capital know that you like these two restaurants! The fellow must be thinking like that. Mother, there's no need to worry!"

Gu Qingyao: "…"

That really did make sense. After all, she was Madam Mo. With her status, considering the Huo family's current position, it would be difficult for them to plot against her.

If the Huo family was powerful enough, it would not need to think of such despicable methods.

Gu Qingyao laughed and said, "I know, I'm not worried. You're just a child. Don't worry about these things."

"Okay!" The little fellow looked indifferent as he bent his head and continued studying his toys.

Mo Beihan was still observing him, and his lips twitched in amusement.

At the moment, on a little island overseas, the flowers were blooming.

The capital was currently in the depths of winter, and everything was bare. Here, it was as warm as spring. In this huge compound, the flowers were blooming spectacularly, and the environment was very pleasant.

In the study, a man wearing a light gray suit was sitting and listening to his subordinate's report.

"How is the Huo family progressing?"

The subordinate lowered his head, a little afraid to look at the man's face.

"Sir, the Huo family… is not doing so well!"

The man frowned and immediately looked imposing.

"Oh? What has happened?"

"Based on the latest news, the Huo family still has not interacted with Gu Qingyao at all. At the moment, Huo Tianning has not even seen her."

The man's expression turned frosty. He did not say anything.

His subordinate continued, "Gu Qingyao usually lives in seclusion and seldom attends social events. Huo Tianning does not even know where to start. Huo Tianxiang has already discovered this problem and has thought of a solution."

"What is his solution?"

The subordinate said, "I've heard that he intends to start with Mo Beihan. Mo Beihan is a man. It's easier to find someone to seduce him."
