Today was an off day but Qiao Yuying still went to the office. Gu Qingyao only found her mother when she came to the office.

In the office room, Qiao Yuying was dressed in formal business attire with her hair tied in a high bun. Her stern and sharp eyes were reading the documents.

Gu Qingyao ran in with a beam. “Mother!”

Only after seeing her daughter did the sternness on Qiao Yuying’s face fade into a loving and gentle expression. “You’re full of smiles. Are you so happy to see your mother?”

Gu Qingyao has been living in happiness these past few days. After hearing what her mother said, she grinned deeper and said, “Of course I’m happy to see you! Mother, it’s an off day, but why are you still working? Aren’t you tired?”

Qiao Yuying looked at her with a smile. “I’m not that tired. There are just some things I suddenly need to handle, so I just came here.”

What Gu Qingyao did not know was that after Qiao Yuying found out that her daughter was still alive, her enthusiasm toward working was simply multiple times higher than before.

She always wanted to give her daughter the best and bring all the finest items in the world to her. Only she was capable enough to protect her daughter well.historical

As a mother, she still wanted to pass down a greater wealth to her daughter.

It was just that at this point in time, Qiao Yuying was still unaware that this daughter of hers was much more capable than she imagined.

Everyone habitually treated her as a young girl and doted on her like a delicate girl, forgetting that just in terms of medical skills, she was no longer inferior to Old Madam Qiao.

Over the past few years, Old Madam Qiao was always worried that her precious granddaughter would be led astray by the other grandsons and start a business just like them, which would thereby delay her medicine studies. Thus, she had been watching Gu Qingyao and always brought her out when she was going to treat patients.

Old Madam Qiao was a renowned Chinese medicine practitioner in this area. However, the Qiao family had a powerful influence, and Old Madam was already old, so she rarely saw patients.

However, there would always be one or two people every month queuing in line!

Gu Qingyao made use of this convenient and fast method to gradually make a name for herself, and currently, her reputation was on par with Grandmother Qiao’s.

If not for the Qiao family’s protection, her life here would not be so smooth and steady. After all, everyone was afraid of dying and the wealthier a person was, the more afraid they were of dying!

Yet the Qiao family still viewed Gu Qingyao as a genius out of habit. Grandma Qiao was always proud that Gu Qingyao inherited her talent in medicine and never found it strange that her granddaughter was so capable as none of her grandchildren were lousy.

What was so strange that her granddaughter was more capable than others?

Gu Qingyao leaned into Qiao Yuying and said, “Mother, I have something to tell you.”

Qiao Yuying was still reading the documents and replied smilingly without looking up, “What is it?”

“My cousin is here. He’s the second son of my second uncle and is the fourth oldest among the grandchildren. He is also specially permitted to study abroad and is attending lessons at the school that I studied in previously. Do you want to meet him, Mother?”

Qiao Yuying was stunned!

“Your cousin?”

Gu Qingyao replied, “Yes! Fourth Cousin treats me very well. Among my five older cousins, Second Cousin and Fourth Cousin are the most intelligent. Second Cousin is a sly little fox while Fourth Cousin is the smartest. But both of them dote on me equally much. It’s been more than three years since I left, and everyone at home is worried about me, so they told Fourth Cousin to take this opportunity to look for me.”

Qiao Yuying had already heard a lot about the Gu family’s matters from Gu Qingyao. She missed out on eighteen years of her daughter’s life and knew nothing about her past life. Thus after acknowledging her daughter, what Qiao Yuying loved listening the most was her daughter recounting her childhood and all the stories from her life there.
