"I... I...!" Mo Xuehong’s eyes flickered guiltily twice, stuttering and failing to respond for a long time!

Ye Anxin raised an eyebrow and sneered, "What? Can’t come up with a reply?"

"I... I certainly know...! Beiting’s birthday is...!" Mo Xuehong rolled her eyes, suppressing her guilt, and insisted, "He was born in winter!"

She remembered clearly that when she gave birth to Mu Beiting, it was a snowy night!

She was alone at home, in pain for a whole day and night, suffering immensely before finally giving birth to him!

At that time, looking at the little boy crying on the bed, covered in blood, she couldn’t feel any motherly love in her heart. All she felt was annoyance, thinking he was just a burden!

So, even though it was very cold that day, she only wrapped him in a thin blanket and let him cry himself hoarse, his whole body turning purple, and she didn’t even take a look!

All she thought then was that if he froze to death or cried himself to death, it would be for the best!

If it weren’t for a good sister from next door hearing the cries and rushing over, wrapping him in thick blankets and cooking rice soup for him, he might have frozen or starved to death the night he was born!

After that, until he was three years old, it was mostly that good sister who took care of him! Later, her good sister got married, gave her some money to take good care of Mu Beiting, and then left the country with her husband!

She took her good sister’s money but didn’t take care of Mu Beiting well, giving him leftover food. Sometimes, when he was really hungry, he’d go out to rummage through trash bins for food! Many neighbors who saw he was pitiful would bring him into their homes to feed him!

Thus, in his life before he was six years old, Mu Beiting practically grew up on the charity of others!

After six, he started to learn to pick up trash to sell, and then used the money from selling it to buy food!

As for her, not wanting to suffer, she reverted to her old trade after he was born to make money by entertaining clients! Men’s money was easy to earn, so she never knew how to cherish it, spending as she earned! No matter how much she made, she never thought of sending Mu Beiting to school or giving him a better life!

She thought of him as a burden and only wanted to rid herself of him as soon as possible! So when Mu Huajian found her and came to take Mu Beiting back to the Mu Family, she agreed without hesitation and even extorted a sum from Mu Huajian!

Because this son, Mu Beiting, never had a place in her heart, how could she even remember his birthday! For him to survive by her side until ten years old was a miracle to her!

Upon hearing Mo Xuehong’s response, Ye Anxin snorted coldly and mocked, "Winter? A season has three months, that’s ninety days in total; may I ask which day in those ninety days is Uncle’s birthday?"

"I... I...!" Faced with Ye Anxin’s aggressive questioning, Mo Xuehong stammered for a long time, unable to complete a sentence.

Ye Anxin said expressionlessly, "You don’t know, do you? I’ll tell you, it’s the third day of the twelfth lunar month!"

Mo Xuehong’s eyes widened in disbelief and asked, "How do you know?"

"How do I know?" Ye Anxin snorted disdainfully, "I’m his wife, how could I not know?"

"...!" Mo Xuehong was speechless for a long time, her delicately made-up face turning shades of blue and white like a palette!

Yes! Though she had never paid attention to this son, even the household registration was handled by that good sister at the time!

So, there had always been a record of his birthday on her son’s household registration book.

Ye Anxin closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said with slight bitterness and helplessness, "You are Uncle’s mother, my mother-in-law, I know I shouldn’t be disrespectful to you today, I shouldn’t have said such things! But, I really feel sorry for Uncle. In the thirty years before he met me, he lived as if in hell! Without receiving love and protection from you as his biological mother, he was sold to his biological father for a million yuan, only to live a life worse than death in the Mu Family! Fortunately, Uncle persevered, and instead of giving up, he worked hard and became extraordinary! If it were me, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to bear it long ago!"

Facing Ye Anxin’s accusations, Mo Xuehong clenched her teeth! Only by doing so could she restrain the rage within her! Otherwise, she would definitely rush forward to tear apart Ye Anxin’s pretentious face!

She was clearly doing it on purpose, deliberately stirring up tension between mother and son!

What is this supposed to be? Just when her son is about to falter, she brings up his tragic background! Is she trying to make him remember how harsh she once was to him?

It infuriates her!

Originally, she thought Ye Anxin was kind-hearted and easy to manipulate! Unexpectedly, she turned out to be a two-faced scoundrel, outwardly gentle and kind while hiding a belly full of mischief!

"If you really want to win back Uncle as your son, please reflect on your past actions and learn how to be a competent mother! Otherwise, I hope you won’t disturb Uncle’s peaceful life again!" With this, she took Mu Beiting’s arm and said warmly, "Uncle, let’s go inside!"

From beginning to end, Mu Beiting didn’t say a word, his deep eyes fixed intensely on Ye Anxin who was standing up for him, his thin lips pressed into a line, and a hint of an inexplicable emotion flickering in his eyes!

"Uncle, let’s go!" When Mu Beiting didn’t move, Ye Anxin pulled him inside the Mu Group building.

Mu Beiting said nothing, obediently following her in!

"Beiting, Beiting...!" Watching them leave so mercilessly, Mo Xuehong was enraged, gritting her teeth and stamping her feet!

Damn it, damn it!

The plan had been more than halfway successful, and it was all that Ye Anxin’s fault, damn Ye Anxin!

It seems, if she wants to approach Mu Beiting, she must lower her stance. Otherwise... she’ll never enter the Mu Family, never save her precious daughter!

A gust of cold wind blew past, making Mo Xuehong shiver involuntarily. Although she was trembling all over from the cold, to gain Mu Beiting’s acceptance, she could only endure the cold, hugging her arms tightly, standing at the wall corner of the Mu Group entrance, continuously rubbing her arms in hopes of getting a little warmer!

She had to wait, no matter how difficult the road ahead might be, she was determined to wait for Mu Beiting to come out, to let him see her sincerity!

Although there was no mother-son bond between them, she imagined that Mu Beiting wouldn’t be heartless enough to let her stand in the cold wind like this! He would eventually soften!

As long as he softened, it would bring her closer to her plan!
