"I... I am so cold... I can’t take the cold anymore! Where are you, come pick me up quickly! I can’t stand up anymore... if I don’t find somewhere to rest and warm up, I will surely freeze to death!" Mo Xuehong’s teeth chattered from the cold, her voice trembling with each word. A simple sentence exhausted every bit of strength she had left.

Hearing this, Qin Muyao hurriedly assured her, "Mom, this is a critical moment, you cannot give up! If I go to find you, then our relationship will be exposed! Hang in there a little longer, don’t leave, or everything you did this morning will have been for nothing! Even someone with a hard heart will soften seeing their mother freezing outside! Mom, for me, you must hold on, your daughter’s life is entirely in your hands!"

She had calculated the timing, knowing her mother must have reached her limit by now. If she didn’t call soon, her mother would certainly give up and leave!

The plan had reached this stage, there could be no backing down! All the hardships that had to be endured were endured, no matter what, they had to persist, otherwise, everything done before would have been in vain!

Her life was reaching its turning point, she could wait no longer!

"...!" Listening to Qin Muyao’s words, Mo Xuehong couldn’t speak for a long time!

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to speak, but she didn’t know what to say! Because she truly couldn’t hold on anymore! She could guarantee if she stayed any longer, she would surely freeze to death!

The snow outside was falling heavier, and the wind was getting stronger! Even if she curled up in a corner with some shelter from the rain, it couldn’t block the biting cold wind!

Her face was already numb from the cold and completely lost feeling!

Even though she was wearing clothes, they provided no warmth for her current state! Her legs were frozen stiff, moving even slightly was difficult, and the blood throughout her body was cold.

Anyway, she was cold now, freezing all over, too cold to even speak.

Seeing Mo Xuehong not speaking, across the street in a café by the window, Qin Muyao, observing everything, narrowed her eyes. Her face appeared sharp and indifferent, yet her words carried a pitiful sobbing tone, "Mom, I know it’s hard on you, these past two days you’ve suffered a lot for me! But, you’re my only family now, if you don’t help me, no one will! For the past ten years, we mother and daughter relied on each other, I have only you as family, and you only have me! If I leave, you surely wouldn’t be able to live on! Since we’re facing death, why not take a gamble! If anything happens to you, your daughter will surely go with you right away! Being alone in the world is truly too lonely!"

Listening to Qin Muyao’s words over the phone, Mo Xuehong suddenly felt her nose tingle, and her eyes turned red instantly!

Thinking about her precious child, if she really left one day, she wouldn’t be able to bear it, what meaning would this life hold for her then?

Since death was inevitable, she might as well make a final struggle for her daughter, even if she froze to death now, at least she had done her utmost!

With this thought, Mo Xuehong sniffed and choked out, "Baby... don’t worry, mom will save you... no matter what, I must save you! If you die, I can’t live on, you’re my life...!"

Hearing her say this, Qin Muyao’s tense expression finally relaxed a bit, her demeanor softened a lot, "Mom, I believe in you! Your daughter is waiting at home for your good news!"

"Okay... okay...!" Mo Xuehong nodded stiffly.

"Mom, hang in there! I’ll hang up now!" With that, after hearing a response from Mo Xuehong on the other end, she hung up the phone.

After hanging up, Qin Muyao signaled a waiter for a cup of hot coffee, sipping it as she continued to observe the situation outside the window.

Since sending Mo Xuehong to use the self-harm ploy yesterday, she had been sitting here observing everything happening across the street!

Of course, she also saw Mo Xuehong faint at the Mu Group’s door yesterday!

She thought Mo Xuehong fainting would definitely make Mu Beiting worry and forgive her! But unexpectedly... Mu Beiting didn’t show up at all, not even the kind-hearted Ye Anxin!

In the end, an employee from the Mu Group just called an ambulance!

So, after receiving a call from the nurse and rushing to the hospital, she decided to have Mo Xuehong continue with the self-harm ploy while pretending to be sick.

Unexpectedly, Mu Beiting still didn’t show up!

There’s no denying, Mu Beiting’s cold-bloodedness is truly outrageous! Such a thing, regardless of who it happens to, would certainly soften and compromise! But Mu Beiting still maintained that indifferent attitude, as if Mo Xuehong really was an insignificant person.

This morning, before dawn, she called Mo Xuehong, instructing her to continue waiting at the Mu Group’s door for Mu Beiting and teaching her how to speak to please Mu Beiting!

Unexpectedly, Mu Beiting remained unmoved!

So, the only solution now is to keep waiting, even if Mo Xuehong’s actions can’t move Mo Xuehong, they might at least affect Ye Anxin!

The spot where she’s sitting gives her a clear view of the Mu Group’s situation!

This morning, she clearly saw Ye Anxin frequently walk to the window to look at Mo Xuehong! This act undeniably proves that her heart is beginning to soften!

Now it’s only a matter of time!

Qin Muyao squinted her eyes, pondering while warming herself with the steaming coffee!

No denying, it’s truly cold today! Even sitting in a heated café, she feels cold! Imagine how cold Mo Xuehong must be now crouching at the Mu Group’s door!

But, people must prioritize themselves, there’s no other way now, even if it means sacrificing Mo Xuehong, she must continue!

.........

In the blink of an eye, another afternoon passed!

While reading, Ye Anxin occasionally walked to the window to check on Mo Xuehong.

From noon on, Mo Xuehong stayed in one position, crouching at the Mu Group’s door! A thick layer of snow had covered her! 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

If she didn’t know it was Mo Xuehong, Ye Anxin would have thought it was a snowman someone built there.

Although she’s unsure of Mo Xuehong’s purpose this time, her persistence is indeed commendable!

Without strong willpower, anyone would have given up.

To have such strong willpower, it must be for something extremely important, maybe even more crucial than Mo Xuehong’s life!
