Ye Anxin ignored her and looked past her to see Qin Muyao sitting on the snowy ground, leaning against the cold wall.

She didn’t know how long Qin Muyao had been sitting there; she only knew that at this moment, Qin Muyao’s face was exceptionally pale, and her lips were deathly white! Her hair and clothes were covered with a thick layer of snow!

Looking at the Qin Muyao before her, Ye Anxin couldn’t associate her with the Qin Muyao who had forced her to take poison in the hospital, the insidious, ruthless, and domineering woman.

Ye Anxin saw it, and Xiao Bai saw it too. Looking at the lifeless Qin Muyao sitting in the snow, Xiao Bai pursed his lips and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Is this woman really dead?"

"Xiao Bai!" Hearing Xiao Bai’s words, Ye Anxin swiftly pulled him behind her and covered his mouth with her hand.

Mo Xuehong, taking in Ye Anxin’s subtle expressions, grew even more agitated, "Ye Anxin, you hypocritical woman, at this moment, who are you pretending for! If you really had a conscience, you wouldn’t just stand by and watch Muyao die from illness. If you really had a conscience, you would save her! Ultimately, it was you who caused her death! This is all your fault!"

Seeing Mo Xuehong repeatedly scolding Ye Anxin, the butler finally couldn’t hold back any longer and spoke, "Have you had enough, woman! Her death has nothing to do with our madam! Our madam saving her is kindness; not saving her is duty. This is a matter of voluntary affection; no one can force anyone! Our madam owes you nothing. I’ve lived most of my life and I’ve never seen such a shameless woman like you, acting as if the world owes you everything! You think others’ efforts for you are natural and right; we, mother and daughter, are truly shameless!"

Mo Xuehong pointed at the butler’s nose with disdain, "What are you to speak to me like that?"

Upon hearing this, the butler couldn’t help but roll his eyes, unwilling to waste more words on such an unreasonable person.

At this moment, Mu Beiting, who had remained silent, finally spoke up, "Her death is self-inflicted. Don’t show up in front of me again, or you will end up like her!"

"Mu Beiting, how can you be so cold-blooded! She is your biological sister! She’s dead, and you aren’t even saddened, nor do you feel the slightest guilt! How can you be so ruthless, how can you...!" Seeing her precious daughter dead, yet Mu Beiting remained indifferent, Mo Xuehong was nearly collapsing, her hatred deepening.

"I never had a sister!" With a simple sentence, he completely severed his ties with Qin Muyao.

Before Mo Xuehong could explode, Ye Anxin quickly grabbed Mu Beiting’s arm, gently saying, "Uncle, let it go, let’s leave!"

The situation had reached this point, and Qin Muyao had paid the price for her deeds, so everything should end here!

The person is dead, and all grievances should end with Qin Muyao’s death.

"Ye Anxin, stop pretending here. It was you who sowed discord between us, mother and son, making Mu Beiting watch her die without helping. Qin Muyao’s death was because of you; you are the culprit, and I want to kill you to avenge Muyao...!" As she spoke, she struggled desperately like a madwoman, trying to break free from the butler’s grip, clawing desperately at Ye Anxin.

"Uncle, let’s go!" Ye Anxin didn’t want to argue with Mo Xuehong. Holding Xiao Bai’s hand with one and Mu Beiting’s wrist with the other, they got into the business car parked not far away before Mo Xuehong could break free from the butler.

Even after they got in the car and closed the door, Ye Anxin could still clearly hear Mo Xuehong’s heart-wrenching curses.

"Sigh..." Sitting in the car, thinking of Qin Muyao’s bleak scene in the snow, Ye Anxin couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.

Xiao Bai looked up, puzzled, at Ye Anxin, "Mom, why are you sighing? You wouldn’t be regretting not saving that vicious woman, would you?"

Ye Anxin shook her head, lamenting, "No! I’m just lamenting how fragile human life is, so easily shattered! Qin Muyao, so young, in the prime of her youth, and yet she’s gone! Although she doesn’t deserve sympathy, thinking she was only twenty-two, I still feel a bit sorry for her!"

Xiao Bai pouted dismissively, "What’s there to lament? Everyone dies eventually! But a woman as vicious as Qin Muyao will surely go to hell after she dies! She was too evil! She forced herself down this path! If she’d come back and asked Dad for help at the start, Dad would surely have helped her for Mo Xuehong’s sake! But... cleverness led to her downfall; she was killed by her own so-called cleverness!"

Ye Anxin said helplessly, "Let it go, it’s over! She’s dead now, and talking about it won’t change anything!"

Xiao Bai said with concern, "You’re too soft-hearted, I just worry you might regret it! That cruel woman isn’t worth your regret!"

"I won’t regret it! I’ll never forget what she did to me, so even if I feel sorry for her, I don’t regret my decision! Every mother’s duty is to protect her child from harm! I’m no different!" Saying this, her hands unconsciously stroked her round belly.

"That’s the way to think; it puts me at ease!" Hearing this, Xiao Bai nodded with satisfaction.

Ye Anxin gazed at Mu Beiting, noticing he’d maintained a single expression throughout as if Qin Muyao’s death hadn’t affected him at all, and asked, "Uncle, do you regret it?"

Mu Beiting replied unwaveringly and decisively, "No regrets!"

Hearing Mu Beiting’s response, Ye Anxin said nothing further! Together with Mu Beiting, she dropped Xiao Bai off at school and watched him enter before going with Mu Beiting to the Mu Group.

As usual, once they reached the CEO’s office, Mu Beiting worked while Ye Anxin curled up on the sofa reading a book!

As lunchtime approached, Ye Anxin couldn’t help but take out her phone to check the time; it was already twelve-thirty. After hesitating for a moment, she dialed a number!

The call was picked up after a few rings, and the aged voice of the butler came through, "Madam, is there something you need?"

Ye Anxin glanced at Mu Beiting and asked the butler on the other end, "Butler, is that woman still outside?"

Mu Beiting, who was organizing documents on the desk, looked up at Ye Anxin upon hearing her words.

Feeling Mu Beiting’s gaze, Ye Anxin promptly offered him a charming smile.
