Just as Yan Xinxin stepped out the door, Ning Zitong followed her and called her to stop.

She slowed her steps slightly, feeling a complex mix of emotions inside.

Mo Chuxi knitted his handsome eyebrows lightly and walked over as well.

"Young Mistress Mo, I am here to..."

"Mrs. Mu, what exactly do you want?"

Mo Chuxi stepped forward and interrupted Ning Zitong coldly.

"At this time, shouldn’t you be home reuniting with your beloved daughter Mu Qianyuan, and then call a bunch of reporters for a grand publicity, so why are you at my home bothering my wife? Looking for trouble again?"

He spoke with neither courtesy nor friendliness.

Ning Zitong felt stifled, but she also knew that her current frustration was nothing compared to the distress she had once caused Yan Xinxin.

"Mrs. Mu, don’t delay my son’s time to go home. The Mo family doesn’t welcome you here anymore, leave immediately and stop troubling Xinxin!"

Every word Mo Chuxi said was incredibly sharp.

Yan Xinxin turned back to look, seeing Ning Zitong silent, her heart unexpectedly softened.

"Xi, let it go."

She parted her lips, glanced at Ning Zitong, then raised her eyes to give Mo Chuxi a slight smile.

"I’m leaving now, wait for me."

"Be careful."

He stepped forward to remind her, holding her hand, and kissed it lightly.

"I will always protect you."

"Hmm."

Yan Xinxin pressed her lips into a smile, then turned and got into the car waiting at the gate.

"Since Young Master Mo is so unwelcome to me, I’ll leave now."

Watching Yan Xinxin leave, Ning Zitong said to Mo Chuxi and then turned to leave.

After taking two steps, Ning Zitong stopped and turned back.

"Chuxi, believe it or not, but I really never took your and Yan Xinxin’s son. I only went to see those two children three times, just to look, and did nothing else."

Having said this, she headed toward the gate without lingering further, soon getting into the car.

Mo Chuxi stood in place, looking in the direction of the gate, mulling over Ning Zitong’s recent words, faintly sensing some deeper meaning...

On the road.

Old Wu stepped on the gas, following the car carrying Yan Xinxin, feeling a bit uneasy.

"Madam, if you want me to follow Young Mistress Mo again, do you wish to..."

"Last time I spoke in anger, now I just want you to follow the car, without being discovered."

Ning Zitong explained.

Old Wu immediately felt relieved.

"Alright, I’ll follow without being noticed."

Yan Xinxin sat in the car, holding her phone, browsing through the few photos of Little Yu Yuan in the album, her fingers clenching tight.

"Baby, mom will be there soon, don’t be afraid, no matter what happens, mom will never leave you alone again."

She gazed at the little darling in the album, with a determination as steadfast as her eyes.

"Ding!"

Just as Yan Xinxin was about to close her phone, a push notification suddenly popped up at the top of the screen.

She couldn’t ignore seeing Ning Zitong and Mu Qianyuan’s names.

Though she wanted to turn a blind eye, Yan Xinxin ultimately couldn’t control herself from opening the push notification...

It was today’s hot news, about the Mu family, one of the four great clans in An city, having found their daughter Mu Qianyuan, who had been separated for many years due to an accident 18 years ago.

Next to the text was a picture of Ning Zitong crying emotionally and Mu Qianshui’s plastic-surgery-altered face...

"A family reunion?"

Seeing these four words, Yan Xinxin felt deeply shaken.

She smiled bitterly, just about to exit when she saw something even more shocking in the text below!

How could... such a thing happen!
