That's because he could understand and sense her feelings. After his initial surprise, he struggled a little but didn't try to stop her!

That's enough, that's enough.

Since the two of them were already bound by a tragic fate in this life, there was nothing she could do. She only prayed that Yao Yao could live on, continue living a good life, and look forward...

Even though she knew perfectly well that even if Yao Yao lived, she could never go back to being the vibrant daughter she once was…

She could be a mother, but she still hoped her children could be safe and sound, even just one more day...

"Young Madam, Young Master..."

Before Zhao Bo could finish speaking, they already knew what he was trying to say next, what he was about to say but couldn't quite put his finger on...

Mo Qing, unsurprisingly, retorted, "What? Did she come again today?"

"Yes, she said..."

Mo Qing asked calmly, "What did she say?"

"That young lady said that whenever the young master and young mistress wanted to see her, he would stay here and wait!"

Mo Shi sneered, "So she's here to threaten us now? Does she think that because I didn't do anything to her that day, she can continue to threaten me with this kind of thing without any restraint?"

She's furious right now, and she's lost her beloved son. How could she possibly control her temper?

Just thinking about the corpse that was sent back made her heart ache. If it weren't for the upbringing she received from childhood that prevented her from doing anything that would betray the status of a young lady from a prestigious family, she would have already pounced on Miss Ji and slapped her across the face!

"I'd always heard that this was one of the top wealthy families in the capital, but I never imagined the Ji family's upbringing was so meager..."

A woman in a fit of rage is utterly unreasonable; one blow from her could have killed the entire Ji family…

Ji Muhan, who was innocently blamed: ...

Mo Qing sighed deeply, pulled her into his arms, and gently comforted her, "Ashi, don't be so agitated. This young girl's heart is probably entirely devoted to Yan Yu, so it's not hard to understand why she did something like this!"

Mo Shi pushed him away impatiently, her cold brows sweeping over him. "So, now you think I'm the bad guy? I should just get lost right now and let her have her way?"

"You know that's not what I meant!"

"Why is it that my son got into trouble saving her, while she can still run around freely? And now she even dares to threaten us, saying she can forget about ever entering the Mo family!"

Mo Qing had a headache. He knew that Mo Shi would never say such harsh and sarcastic things normally. It was only when she was in a fit of rage that she would say something so unlike her personality.

Ultimately, that girl was innocent and was wrongly blamed. If she had waited until Yan Yu had some news before bringing up the matter, A Shi might have been very happy to play matchmaker for them!

Ultimately, the timing was wrong; it happened right when Ah-Shi was in the worst mood.

The young girl was also stubborn. Their reluctance to see her these days was partly due to their anger, but more so because they felt uncomfortable with her, especially since their son had gone missing while trying to save her.

How could they possibly let her keep pacing around in front of them? So the stalemate continued for almost a week!

They didn't want to see the young girl, but they were also unwilling to give up, insisting on coming every day and standing until 11 or 12 at night before going home...

"Heh, if you hadn't always given him that look, how could Yan Yan have only come back a few times over the years?"

Mo Qing, “…” Here we go again.

"Didn't I already tell you last time? What happened back then was indeed my fault, but what's the point of dwelling on it now?"

"If it weren't for you, how could Yan Yan be here, without leaving anything to remember her by?"

Mo Qing choked. These days, the apocalypse always easily triggered him, and he kept bringing up old grievances, starting to explain how badly he had treated Yan Yu in the past.

"My poor Yan Yan is only 23 years old this year, and something like this has happened to her..."

Mo Shi's tears flowed like a tap that had been turned on, and once it started, they were unstoppable.

"Dad, Mom's probably not in a good mood lately, so please... be a little more patient with her?"

Mo Qing sighed heavily, "Don't worry, Mo Mo, Daddy won't be angry with Mommy because of these things!"

"That's good."

"Yaoyao is still outside, does Daddy want to see her?"

Mo Qing frowned and sighed, "Forget it, let's not see her. Go out and tell her to leave. No matter how long she stands here, we're not in the mood to see her right now."

"Dad, you should know that Yao Yao can't be blamed for what happened to my brother! In the end, I also bear some responsibility for this!"

Mo Qing was puzzled and paused for a moment after hearing Mo Xiaoqing's words.

"How did this get involved with you again?"

“…Um…” Mo Xiaoqing blinked.

Suddenly, she realized that her father and the others didn't fully understand what had happened to her. The two murders were just incidents she happened to be involved in. When explaining to her family, she said that she hadn't been paying attention and had been framed.

Suddenly revealing everything, Mo Xiaoqing couldn't help but want to comply, which only made things more and more chaotic...

Her gaze inadvertently swept over the top of Mo Qing's head, and she noticed that several gray hairs had sprouted on the temples around her father's ears, something she hadn't seen in a while...
