Rebirth: Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife

Meanwhile, Mo Beihan had left the Old Master’s study and returned to his own room.

He had a study there which had been specially furnished for him.

There was a telephone there. The phone rang the moment he entered the room.

“Boss, Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing saw you when you beat up that Bai Chi at the Jin Jiang Restaurant today. The two of them have some money, but it won’t last at the rate they’re spending it. They found out that the Jin Jiang Restaurant is very famous here and only the wealthy eat there, so they went to enjoy themselves but saw you.

“They were originally in the main hall downstairs but moved to a private room after you left. Zhang Xiaohui kept staring at Bai Youran. Later on, they asked around in the restaurant about Bai Youran.”

When Mo Beihan heard there, he was almost certain that the child Zhang Xiaohui had exchanged that year was Bai Youran!

“Is there news of the child that was born in the year that Zhang Xiaohui gave birth?”

The other person fell silent for a while before he said, “Boss, we don’t have any news yet. There was little news in those times, and no one cared about female babies. It is almost impossible to find someone from those times.”

Mo Beihan also knew that this incident was difficult to investigate.

Circumstances then were much harsher than they were now. Many events had occurred without leaving any traces.

That year, Zhang Xiaohui had given birth in a small clinic. Things were so bad that many people had died. At that time, many female babies had been abandoned, so it was not a big deal. It really was difficult to find the truth.

“Try your best. Investigate everyone who was alive at that time. Hopefully, you can find the child!”

“Yes!”

After he hung up, Mo Beihan sat in his chair and drummed on the table. The rhythmic sound of it echoed in the silent study.

Since Bai Youran had nothing better to do, why not help her meet her birth mother?

Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing had a good meal in the restaurant. They ordered many famous dishes. They spent more on this meal than they had in their entire stay in the capital. They were delighted.

When they got back to their residence, Gu Ruoqing still longed for more. She looked at the cramped room that she lived in and said discontentedly, “Mother, this room is too small. Let’s move to a bigger one! We’re going to have plenty of money soon anyway. We don’t have to worry about money anymore.

“Look at how well Gu Qingyao dresses! Her room must be very big. I want a big room too.”

Gu Ruoqing felt rather bloated, and she collapsed on the bed, fantasizing about how she would soon live the life of a rich, young lady.

Zhang Xiaohui had thoroughly enjoyed her meal. As for the Gu family, she did not have much feeling for them.

She had a bone-deep contempt for Gu Yunshen and also detested him. Gu Qingyao was not her child, so Zhang Xiaohui felt that her own daughter, Bai Youran, was comparatively wealthier.

“Don’t bother with the Gu family. We can’t possibly rejoin the family. I know Gu Yunshen. Now that the Gu family is not affected by its background, he will never marry me.”

Gu Ruoqing frowned and disagreed. “Why is it impossible? I’m his daughter too. He doesn’t know I’m not his true daughter, right? Our lives now are so hard, why shouldn’t he support us?”

Zhang Xiaohui glanced at Gu Ruoqing. “That’s different. When we divorced, you broke off ties with the Gu family. You signed the document yourself. Gu Yunshen is very stubborn. Now that he is not restricted by his background, he won’t support us.”
