BXBX NOVEL Chapter 535 - Addressing Sister-in-Law
Chapter 535: Addressing Sister-in-Law
Gu Qingyao awoke and heard voices outside, so she got out of bed and tidied herself so she could take a look.
She was rather curious about Mo Beihan’s younger brother.
When Gu Qingyao had tidied herself and left the room, she saw a young man with fine features standing uneasily in the living room. Mo Beihan was sitting there with an indescribable expression.
Lin Dongxu turned to look. He was startled when he saw Gu Qingyao.
He had never seen such a beautiful girl in his whole life.
Her features were so exquisite that they were flawless. Her skin was fair and radiant. He had never met a girl with such nice skin.
She was also tall and slender. This... didn’t Eldest Brother say his girlfriend was from the countryside?
Were countryside girls so pretty these days?
Should he go to the countryside look for one too?
The shock in his eyes was so obvious that Mo Beihan’s expression darkened. “Address her as your sister-in-law!”
Lin Dongxu immediately snapped to attention. He obediently and respectfully bowed to Gu Qingyao at the waist. “Sister-in-law!”
Gu Qingyao: “...”
Gu Qingyao’s mouth twitched as she sat down with Mo Beihan. She carefully studied Lin Dongxu. He looked quite familiar.
Mo Beihan said, “His name is Lin Dongxu.”
Gu Qingyao paused. Lin Dongxu?
After some careful thought, she recalled who he was. He had been a tycoon in their previous life!
Gu Qingyao smiled. “How did you get to know each other?”
Lin Dongxu said excitedly, “Sister-in-law, I met Eldest Brother on a train. He’s so capable!”
Gu Qingyao studied Lin Dongxu earnestly. She had heard of him in her previous life and had even met him a few times. Her impression of Lin Dongxu in her previous life was that he was less... subservient!
Gu Qingyao involuntarily glanced at Mo Beihan, who shrugged. How would he know why the Lin Dongxu of this time would become so foolish?
Gu Qingyao said politely, “Nice to meet you. I’m Gu Qingyao. Just refer to me as ‘sister-in-law’ in private. Please don’t call me that in public. I’m not yet married to your eldest brother!”
Lin Dongxu chuckled, “Don’t worry, Sister-in-law. I know my place in public. Time passes quickly, and although you are not married to Eldest Brother yet, you soon will be. Soon I can refer to you as ‘sister-in-law’ properly.”
His words pleased Mo Beihan.
Mo Beihan said, “Have you handed over your work? This time you are to pack your things and leave with me. I’ve other arrangements for you.”
Lin Dongxu smiled excitedly. “Yes, yes, I’ve handed over everything. My things are all packed. I was just waiting for Eldest Brother to fetch me.”
What an obedient child!
That thought mollified Mo Beihan a little.
“All right, I’ll be here for about ten days or so. During this time, you can go and visit your friends, and when it’s time, you’ll leave with me.”
“All right!” Lin Dongxu said earnestly.
Mo Beihan pointed at a large parcel in the corner of the living room. “These are for you. Well, not really for you, but for you to use when you visit your friends over the next few days. When we get back, your sister-in-law will give you your share.”
Lin Dongxu’s eyes brightened. He immediately understood. Mo Beihan was giving him these things to build relations. They must ensure their connections here were solid.
“Eldest Brother, I understand!”
Then he brought Lin Dongxu to the state-run restaurant for a meal, before Lin Dongxu took the things and left.
They had just arrived, so after they got home, Mo Beihan let Gu Qingyao sleep awhile more and so she could be completely rested.
He did not ask Gu Qingyao to get up that night. This house contained things that he had hidden here. He could dig them up himself.
