Cutesy Wife Sweet Like Honey: Mr. Mu's Nightly Dote!
Chapter 652 - 695: Advancing by Retreating
Xiao Bai walked slowly to the wall and knocked on it twice, saying in an indifferent tone, "Qin Muyao, come here! Since I know you’re here, there’s no need to keep hiding! If you come over, it shows you’re still human! If you don’t come over now and leave your mom here alone, then you’re worse than an animal!"
Ye Anxin watched Xiao Bai’s strange behavior, listening to his words, and widened her eyes in shock.
After speaking with Qin Muyao, Xiao Bai turned to Mo Xuehong and said, "Shall we guess whether your precious daughter will come over or not?"
Mo Xuehong stretched her neck, stubbornly and righteously saying, "Do you think you can provoke the relationship between me and my daughter with just a few words? I’m telling you, it’s impossible! I won’t doubt my daughter for you! We’ve relied on each other for ten years, and I’ve loved her for twenty-two years. She would never do this to me!"
Hearing this, Xiao Bai shook his head, pretending to be regretful, "Sigh! What a pitiful and pathetic woman! From beginning to end, you’ve been used by your daughter and you didn’t know it at all! Now that I’m kindly telling you, you still don’t believe me! You deserve it! All of this is your own doing!"
"You...!" Just as Mo Xuehong, angry and about to retort, the door to the room was opened again, and Qin Muyao stood at the door, her frail body looking pitiful and her eyes full of sorrow as she glanced at the three people in the room. When her gaze fell on Mo Xuehong, her eyes turned red immediately and she rushed into Mo Xuehong’s arms, hugging her waist tightly. While crying, she sorrowfully said, "Mom, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault! For saving me, you’ve endured so much injustice and disdain from them! Mom, I’m sorry, truly sorry! Since they refuse to agree, let’s just leave! Sister-in-law is right, we can’t be so selfish, can’t harm the innocent child in her belly just to save my life! Although I only have a month left to live and won’t be able to stay by your side to take care of you after that, I will take good care of you in this last month, grateful for these twenty-two years of your love and nurturing!"
If there was even a slight doubt about Qin Muyao, at this moment, when she fell into her arms and tearfully finished speaking, all the doubts in Mo Xuehong’s heart disappeared!
This was her daughter, her precious daughter, they had lived together for twenty-two years! Her daughter’s heart was kind, and her nature was pure. She absolutely did not believe she was the scheming woman Xiao Bai was talking about, who had been using her all along!
Mo Xuehong gently stroked Qin Muyao’s back, softly comforting her, "Darling, don’t be sad. You are my life, everything I do for you is what I should do! Don’t be sad and don’t blame yourself, otherwise, Mom’s heart will ache!"
Qin Muyao withdrew from Mo Xuehong’s embrace, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, blinked, and choked out, "Mom, don’t you blame me? You should believe what Xiao Bai said, she’s not wrong, I’m selfish, I used you! Wuwu... just scold me! Blame me!" The more she said, the more fiercely Qin Muyao’s tears flowed.
Seeing her crying so sadly, Mo Xuehong’s heart was breaking, how could she bear to blame her one bit, and quickly wiped away her tears for her, "Darling, you’re my own daughter, how could I believe outsiders and not believe you! Don’t worry, Mom knows they’re trying to sow discord, Mom won’t believe it! You are Mom’s only family, Mom is also your only family, how could you use me!"
"Mom...!" Hearing Mo Xuehong say this, Qin Muyao didn’t stop crying, instead, she cried even more fiercely.
Seeing Mo Xuehong completely subdued by Qin Muyao, Xiao Bai shook his head, sighing, "What a clever strategy of retreating to advance! Qin Muyao completely has Mo Xuehong under her thumb! Mo Xuehong can dream about escaping Qin Muyao’s grasp in this lifetime!"
"Xiao Bai...!" Ye Anxin looked at Xiao Bai in surprise, didn’t expect him to say such profound words! Does he even understand the strategy of retreating to advance?
Is this something a five-year-old child should be saying?
In these five years, what exactly has Uncle been feeding him? Or teaching him? How could he have taught him to be so cunning and deep-thinking?
She remembers that when she was five years old, she was still an innocent little girl who only knew how to play with dolls all day long!
"Mom, I’ve finally met a woman even dumber than you! The world is so strange, how could a woman as dumb as Mo Xuehong give birth to such a smart son as Dad! How could a mom as dumb as you give birth to such a clever son like me!" As he spoke, Xiao Bai also shook his head to show his helplessness.
Looking at Xiao Bai with his adult-like demeanor, Ye Anxin blushed with embarrassment!
Being called dumb by her son again and again, is this really fine?
"Enough! Let’s go! I’ve said all I needed to, but she just won’t believe it and still believes in her hypocritical, venomous daughter, so let her reap what she sowed! I can’t be bothered with her!" Saying this, not wanting to stay here any longer, Xiao Bai took Ye Anxin’s hand to lead her away.
Unfortunately, they had only taken two steps when they heard Qin Muyao’s voice from behind, "Xiao Bai...!"
Xiao Bai ignored it completely and continued to pull Ye Anxin outside.
Seeing calling Xiao Bai was useless, Qin Muyao had to address someone else, "Sister-in-law! Since we’re sisters-in-law, please stay and listen to me!"
Sure enough, after hearing her words, Ye Anxin stopped in her tracks.
Seeing her stop, Qin Muyao completely withdrew from Mo Xuehong’s arms, stood up, walked over to Ye Anxin, and softly smiled, "Sister-in-law, I apologize for my mom’s behavior today, I know she shouldn’t have been so selfish and said such rude things to you! But, after all, she’s my mom, and she loves her daughter dearly! I hope you can forgive her, give her a chance!"
Ye Anxin raised an eyebrow, "A chance? What kind of chance? Forgive her, let her return to the Mu Family, and then continue lurking around us?"
"No! I just hope you won’t blame her! I know it’s hard to let her return to the Mu Family after what she did! But, my days are numbered, and when I’m gone, there’ll be only my mom left in this world, all alone! I... I...!" Saying this, Qin Muyao couldn’t help choking up, tears flowing again. She wiped them away before continuing, "I hope after I die, you can visit her from time to time, and take care of her when she’s too old to move!"
