His strength lay overseas, and in China, Old Master Mo’s network was wider than his.

Taking over the Mo family was not something that could be accomplished in a day or two. It was hard to truly wield influence before everyone had witnessed his abilities.

In this life, he did not move in official circles, so it was not easy to convince everyone.

Old Master Mo said, “The Bai family is not so easy to deal with. Besides, there are so many powerful families in the capital. Once the Bai family falls, the situation will change drastically. No one wants that to happen.

“The best scenario is to maintain the stability of the past. Now the Mo family has leapt to the top. It’s not good for you to suppress the Bai family and refuse to let them rise!

Old Master Mo looked stern. “I understand that old Bai fellow very well. He’s suspicious, competitive and likes to look down on other people. You were too obvious when you plotted against Bai Youran previously. Instead, he thinks that you were framed. That was done very well. At first, that old fellow won’t believe that you did all that deliberately.

“But once time goes by and he can’t find another suspect, he will vent his temper on you. It doesn’t matter whether you’re the mastermind or not. It’s just that everything seems to have happened because of you.

“Recently, the Bai family has been very quiet, and the entire capital has been focused on the Mo family. In the long term, this is bad.

“You don’t need to suppress the Bai family for now. That family has always been competitive, and they used to think they were better than everyone and that they can do anything. But in the end, you completely humiliated them. He lost his money and his position. They’re still fuming! If you let them off, I guarantee that they will frantically move back into everyone’s line of sight. They can’t wait to grow the Bai family’s power.

“When the time is ripe, you can seize the opportunity to transfer part of your power overseas back to China. Meanwhile, the Bai family can help by taking the focus off us. Powerful families must act cautiously and steadily. That is the best long term strategy!”

The Mo family had survived for so many years. A family like the Bais, which had only recently come to power, could not compete. The Bai family desperately wanted to be seen as number one in everything. But that was never the Mo family’s goal.

They wanted to maintain their position and benefit future generations.

Mo Beihan remained silent for a while before nodding and saying, “Yes, Grandfather, I understand.”

When he got back, Mo Beihan told Gu Qingyao everything. Gu Qingyao smiled. “Grandfather has received several blows recently. Just go along with him and don’t make him worry.”

Gu Qingyao sat on the sofa on the balcony, reading a book. Mo Beihan embraced her from behind. When he heard that, he cocked his head and asked with a smile, “Does that mean you don’t really approve of Grandfather’s views?”

Gu Qingyao’s smile grew broader. She glanced back at him. “You also inwardly disagree with him, right? What Grandfather says makes sense. He’s an old man. He is calmer than us young people and less impulsive. Grandfather’s generation hopes that the Mo family will carry on being prosperous, but we don’t have to be the top family in the capital. ”

Mo Beihan hugged her. “Actually, I was really prepared to get rid of the Bai family. But just now in the study… just as you say, Grandfather has received several blows. I could not bear to make him worry, so I just agreed.”

Gu Qingyao looked at him. “Actually, we have plenty of opportunities in the future. You really don’t need to rush it. The Bai family is a very large target, and right now, the capital’s situation is not very complex. If the Bai family falls, it will be very obvious.

“I think that as the economy improves, the capital will grow more prosperous. It might be easier if you act then.

“Second Cousin is getting engaged to Mingyue. As for you! You can relax for the first few months of the new year!”
