Ye Xin looked at Mu Chen and asked, “Do you dare to swear that you’re not cheating on me?”
Mu Chen sneered. “Does swearing work? Forget it. Look at yourself in the mirror. The filth in your mind has long been written all over your face. Don’t make me look down on you even more than I already do!”
Mu Chen turned around, carrying the baby to the window as he whispered to the baby, “Let’s see if we can see Great-Grandma from here.”
The baby gnawed on Mu Chen’s hand as he obediently looked out the window.
Meanwhile, Ye Xin was stunned by the scolding she had just received. When she looked up and saw the baby’s smiling face, a malicious thought welled up in her heart. She picked up a brass decorative item in the room, clearly intending to throw it at the baby’s head. She thought to herself that since everyone loved the baby so much, she would kill the child so everyone would be sad. If she was unhappy, then no one was allowed to be happy!
At this moment…
“What are you doing?”
A scream rang in the air as a figure flashed past and shielded the baby.
Liang Zhou grunted when she felt the sharp pain in her back. Nonetheless, when she lowered her head and saw the baby looking at her with his clear eyes and his mouth curved into a smile, she felt relieved. Following that, she tasted something sweet and metallic at the back of her throat before she spat out a mouthful of blood on the baby’s mat on the floor. Her legs weakened, and she fell limply to the ground.
When Mu Chen regained his senses, he stepped over Liang Zhou and kicked Ye Xin to the ground.
At this time, the commotion had attracted Sister Yu and A Nuan over. They were shocked by the scene before their eyes.
Mu Chen handed the baby over to A Nuan and said, “Bring him to my room.”
At the same time, Sister Yu hurriedly helped Liang Zhou to her feet and worriedly asked, “Are you okay? Where does it hurt?”
Liang Zhou did not care about herself at this moment. She said to Mu Chen in a hoarse voice, “She was going to hurt the baby!”
Liang Zhou shuddered at the close call. She had seen Ye Xin aiming for the baby’s head. She could not imagine what would have happened if she did not appear in time. She held onto Sister Yu’s arm to support herself as she kowtowed once to the west and murmured, “Thank you for your blessing, Buddha.”
Liang Zhou kowtowed sincerely, thanking Buddha for allowing her to shield the baby from a disaster.
Upon seeing this, Ye Xin screamed, “Stop pretending! Don’t think I don’t know what you’re doing! You just want to enter the Mu family and become the Madam of the family!”
Smack!
Mu Chen slapped Ye Xin, causing her to stumble back and hit the door.
Liang Zhou remained on her knees, breathing heavily. A faint smile could be seen on her face as she wiped the blood off the corner of her lips before she said, “Whether you believe it or not, I’m willing to use my life to exchange for the baby’s safety.”
At this moment, Liang Zhou’s body softened and she fell into Sister Yu’s arms.
“Ms. Liang! Ms. Liang!” Sister Yu called out in a panic as she held Liang Zhou.
Mu Chen said in a deep voice, “Arrange for a car now!”
Chaos descended in the Mu family house immediately.
Mu Chen strode out of the room, ignoring Ye Xin who was leaning against the door, frozen. No one paid any attention to her.
Liang Zhou was carried into the car
The house immediately became a mess. Mu Chen Strode out.
Ye Xin leaned against the door as if she had become a painting. No one paid any attention to her.
Liang Zhou was carried into the car, and Sister Yu sat with her in the back seat.
Mu Chen intended to send Liang Zhou to the hospital. Before he got into the car, he said to Uncle Jiang coldly, “Keep an eye on that woman! Don’t let her get close to the baby at all. Inform Grandma about what had happened.”
“Understood.” Uncle Jiang hurriedly turned around and left to carry out Mu Chen’s orders.
Liang Zhou endured the pain and leaned against the seat. Her breathing was slightly labored.
Mu Chen did not turn around to look at her as he said, “Thank you. On behalf of the baby, thank you.”
Liang Zhou tried her best to smile. “What I said is true. I’m willing to exchange my life for the baby’s safety.”
Sister Yu held Liang Zhou’s hand gently as she said, “Just rest for now. We’ll be at the hospital soon. You have to recover as soon as possible so you can continue to watch over the baby.”
Liang Zhou smiled as her eyes brimmed with tears.
