Seeing that Mo Xuehong’s patience had reached its limit, Ye Anxin remained calm and unhurried. Instead, she curved her lips into a beautiful arc and sneered, "My child is only over seven months old, and you want to take her out early? You really are a great grandmother! Tell me, why should I take him out early? As a mother, you should know better than anyone that every extra day a child stays in the mother’s womb is a benefit to him! If I take him out and he can’t survive because he’s too early, will you take responsibility for that? No... I misspoke! By that time, I would have already saved Qin Muyao, and you might already have left with your precious daughter! Why would you care about your grandson’s life or death then!"

Mo Xuehong said confidently, "Xiao Bai was also born prematurely, and isn’t he living well? Why can Xiao Bai be born early, but he can’t be taken out early?"

"Xiao Bai’s premature birth was because, as his mother, I didn’t protect him well enough and couldn’t carry him to full term! I’ve already felt very guilty about this! Moreover, when Xiao Bai was born, it was already more than eight months! An over-eight-month-old child born prematurely also stayed in the incubator for a full month! One child has already suffered this hardship, why should I let my second child suffer the same! So, I won’t save Qin Muyao and definitely won’t sacrifice my own flesh and blood to save her!" With that, Ye Anxin didn’t want to continue the conversation and forcefully pried Mo Xuehong’s hands off her legs to leave.

Unfortunately, Mo Xuehong held on tightly, not allowing her to move an inch.

Seeing she couldn’t move, and unable to leave, Ye Anxin impatiently asked, "What exactly do you want?"

Mo Xuehong deeply buried her face between Ye Anxin’s legs, firmly saying, "I don’t want anything, I just want you to agree to save Muyao! I’m begging you, please save her! She really can’t wait any longer!"

Ye Anxin gritted her teeth and said, "Even if you hold onto me and won’t let me leave today, I still won’t agree with you! I’ve made myself very clear, no matter what you say, it won’t change my mind! You supposedly have maternal love, and so do I! You can’t bear to lose your precious daughter, and I can’t either! So, you’d better give up! Stop being delusional!"

"Why? Why are you so heartless? Why are you unwilling to save Muyao? Why? As mothers, why can’t you understand my feelings at this moment?" Even though anger was boiling within her, to save Qin Muyao, Mo Xuehong had to suppress her anger, trying her best to humble herself and swallow her pride.

Ye Anxin, extremely angry, retorted sharply, "You also know what it’s like to be a mother! If you had to sacrifice Qin Muyao to save my brother or sister, what would you do?"

Faced with Ye Anxin’s words, Mo Xuehong couldn’t find a response for a long time!

Because Qin Muyao was her everything, let alone touching her, even scolding her would leave her heartbroken for a long time!

How could she have the heart to sacrifice Muyao to save Ye Anxin’s siblings, whom she’d never met!

Without thinking, Mo Xuehong blurted out, "Isn’t your child not born yet?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Anxin, enraged, said, "Just because he’s not born, does that mean he isn’t a life? Mo Xuehong, please don’t act like the whole world owes you something! And don’t think sacrificing my child to save your daughter is justified! I’m telling you, you’ve always owed Uncle, and we have no obligation to kill our son to save your daughter! As parents, we want to give birth to him and we have the duty to give him a healthy body!"

In her fury, Ye Anxin called Mo Xuehong by her name directly for the first time!

Mo Xuehong reconfirmed, "You’re really unwilling to save him?"

Ye Anxin responded firmly, "No! This answer isn’t out of spite, nor is it to get back at you for being unfair to Uncle! It’s that I won’t hurt my own child to save anyone! That’s a mother’s instinct! So, you don’t need to be delusional, no matter what you say or do, it won’t change my decision! Don’t even think about using the same old tricks to gain my sympathy! Although I may sometimes be foolish, not smart enough, and easily soft-hearted, often causing harm to those around me, in this matter concerning my child’s safety and life, I absolutely won’t be soft-hearted! As a mother, I must protect my child with Uncle!"

Having listened to Ye Anxin, Mo Xuehong’s face darkened, tears still on her face, but her previous humble and pitiful demeanor disappeared, replaced by a looming haze, "You’ve firmly decided not to save my daughter?"

Ye Anxin answered categorically, "I won’t save her! No matter what, I won’t! If I weren’t pregnant now, even if it were a stranger, I’d save them! But now that I’m pregnant, I definitely won’t!"

"You...!" Mo Xuehong’s eyes reddened with rage, her chest heaving violently.

Ye Anxin sneered, "Sorry, let go of me, I’m leaving! And from today, don’t show up at my house again! I feel so stupid, knowing you approached with an agenda, yet still letting you back in! Knowing you drugged our food, I still played along to see what you’d do! Now... there’s nothing more to say! Since I know why you came back, there’s no need to pretend with you anymore! Please take your fake mask and disappear from my house for good, don’t appear in our lives again!"

Hearing this, Mo Xuehong couldn’t help but gasp, incredulous, "You... you knew I drugged you?"

Ye Anxin arched her eyebrows, mocking, "Of course! Did you really think I, Ye Anxin, was that stupid? From the moment you returned to Jin City, I knew you had ill intentions! So, from the moment you came back to the Mu Family, I installed surveillance cameras in the house to monitor your every move! Did you think that when you went out to meet Qin Muyao for drugs while everyone was asleep, we didn’t know? We were just playing along!"

Mo Xuehong was astonished, "You... you knew the drugs were harmful to the child in your womb, yet you still... still...?"

Ye Anxin curled her lips disdainfully, "Would I be that foolish? I wouldn’t do anything that harms my child! Before you drugged us, I had the butler switch out the medicine you had! What you sprinkled on our food was just ordinary flour! Did you think we didn’t know when you took our blood? We were just acting along with you! You think with Uncle’s cleverness, he’d ignore us getting harmed without reason? That he wouldn’t investigate?"
