Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai furiously said, "That crazy woman! Teacher Luo, don’t pay attention to her! From now on, when going to school, I’ll have the driver pick you up! She won’t dare do anything to you!"

"Who is she?" Teacher Luo asked curiously, looking at Xiao Bai.

She really couldn’t understand, who could possibly dare to be so arrogant at Mu Beiting’s doorstep, cursing at everyone without a shred of decency! Even she, an innocent person, got caught in the crossfire!

"Forget about her, let’s go upstairs for the lesson!" Not wanting to continue indulging Mo Xuehong, who had killed the mood, Xiao Bai motioned for Teacher Luo to head upstairs.

Seeing Xiao Bai’s lack of interest, as if he didn’t want to say more, Teacher Luo wisely chose not to ask further, carrying her books upstairs with Xiao Bai.

Meanwhile, outside the villa yard, Mo Xuehong leaned against the wall, exhausted, with no strength left in her body, her eyelids heavy. If it weren’t for her strong will, she would have already fallen asleep outside on the ground.

At first, whenever she saw someone come out, she would curse and scream at them. But later, after shouting and cursing too much, she had no strength to curse anymore! As someone would come out, she would open her mouth to speak, but could only let out hoarse and unpleasant ’ah ah ah’ sounds!

Adding to this, as if the heavens were playing along, the once clear sky suddenly split with a long streak of lightning, followed by deafening thunder, which startled her into a shiver, wanting to find a place to hide, but realizing there was nowhere to go!

Having not slept all night and without any food in the morning, as time ticked away, without seeing Mu Beiting or even Ye Anxin, Mo Xuehong began to feel uneasy.

Just as she was about to faint from hunger, hesitating whether to leave, the phone in her pocket rang.

Mo Xuehong took out the phone, glanced at the caller ID, and seeing it was Qin Muyao’s number, she quickly answered the call, weakly greeting, "Honey!"

Hearing Mo Xuehong’s voice, Qin Muyao was startled and quickly asked with concern, "Mom, what’s wrong? Why does your voice sound different?"

"Ah! Don’t mention it, it’s a long story!" Mo Xuehong sighed helplessly!

She really didn’t expect Mu Beiting to be so hard to handle! She also didn’t expect that he would treat Ye Anxin, such an ordinary woman, as a treasure, to the extent of kicking her out, completely ignoring her calls and curses outside for an entire night!

Now she finally understood what Mu Huajian said that day at the teahouse!

He was right, Mu Beiting is no longer the Mu Beiting of the past, he really can’t be manipulated by her anymore! She underestimated Mu Beiting! She always thought Mu Beiting was still the same 25 years ago, the one who allowed her to beat and scold him!

If she had known, she wouldn’t have been so arrogant; she should have used a different strategy!

Qin Muyao anxiously asked, "Mom, where are you now? Did brother... did brother let you in?"

Mo Xuehong replied dejectedly, "I’m still outside Mu Beiting’s villa! I’ve been standing here all night and he hasn’t shown up once!"

Qin Muyao said, "Mom, wait there, I’ll call a car to pick you up! It looks like it’s going to rain soon, and you’ve been outside all night without breakfast, if you keep waiting, it’ll be hard on your body! Come home first, regain your energy, and then we’ll come up with a long-term plan!"

Although very reluctant to just leave, Mo Xuehong knew that even if she continued waiting, Mu Beiting might not come out to bring her in! She had no choice but to grudgingly nod, "Okay! I’ll wait for you!" With that, she hung up the phone and found a stone outside the wall to sit on.

Just as she sat down, a long streak of lightning flashed across the sky again, followed by a loud thunder!

Before Mo Xuehong could react, torrential rain started pouring down!

The rain came fiercely, without any warning, and in just a moment, Mo Xuehong was drenched like a drowned rat!

She tried to find a place to take shelter, but there was nothing around except for a big tree!

Listening to the thunder rumbling overhead, she didn’t dare to take shelter under the tree, so she could only sit on the stone, letting the rain soak her through.

Now it was already late autumn, and the weather was cold, with the rain soaking her and the wind blowing, Mo Xuehong hugged her arms tightly, shivering!

Because of the rain, the servants who were tending the garden also went inside to avoid it! In this big place, only Mo Xuehong was left alone, looking so miserable and pitiful.

Because Mu Beiting’s villa was halfway up the mountain and quite a distance from the city, Mo Xuehong sat in the rain for nearly an hour before Qin Muyao’s taxi arrived!

By the time the taxi got there, Mo Xuehong was soaked and tottering, almost fainting!

The taxi driver, entrusted by Qin Muyao, quickly got out of the car, holding an umbrella with one hand and supporting Mo Xuehong into the back seat with the other!

Once inside the warm car, Mo Xuehong’s body, frozen numb, still didn’t have any feeling, her lips turned purple-blue, trembling uncontrollably! 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Seeing Mo Xuehong shivering so much, the driver kindly suggested, "Ma’am, I’ll turn on the heater! It’s quite a distance from here to the city, and if you stay cold for over an hour, I’m afraid your body won’t take it!"

"O...kay... Th...ank you...!" By then, Mo Xuehong was so frozen she couldn’t even form a complete sentence! All she wanted now was to quickly find a place to change into dry clothes, drink a cup of hot tea, take a hot bath, and get rid of the cold!

The driver turned on the heater and slowly drove downhill!

Even with the heater on, Mo Xuehong’s body felt numb, as if she had just been pulled out of a freezer! It was only half an hour later that her body slowly regained some warmth and a bit of feeling returned!

The rain outside poured heavier, with few people walking on the city streets, and those who were walked quickly under umbrellas!

Seeing no sign of the rain letting up, Mo Xuehong could only call Qin Muyao!

After the driver had dropped her off at her destination, Qin Muyao was already waiting at the gate with dry clothes!

Qin Muyao paid the driver, draped the dry clothes over Mo Xuehong, and helped her out of the car with an umbrella!

"Mom, how did you end up like this?" Qin Muyao looked at Mo Xuehong with concern, no longer the once high-spirited, imperious figure!

Her makeup was washed into a mess, her hair wet and sticking to her face and neck, her complexion pale, lips turned purple, she looked extremely wretched.

"Let’s go back first, I’m so cold!" After struggling to regain a little warmth, the moment she stepped out of the taxi, the cold air outside struck again, making her shiver uncontrollably again.
