Xia Yuwei pointed at the house on the furthest left.

The door was ajar, so both women let themselves in, as though this house belonged to them.

After they entered the house, they both stopped in their tracks.

Li Qin immediately saw her son and the blood that dripped from the corners of his mouth while Xu Yuwei was stunned at the sight.

“Yixuan, what happened to you? Who hit you?” Li Qin rushed in and wiped the blood from her son’s lips. She was so distressed that she could not stop her lips from trembling.

Yuwei had told her to come over and informed her that her son was not at home during the festive season but instead, had traveled to this place in search of He Xiyan. However, she did not expect her precious son to get beaten up.

Who hit him? Who dared to hit her son? Was that person tired of living?

He Xiyan’s mood grew even worse at the sight of these two women. Her fingers clenched tightly as she recalled the times when they had bullied and insulted her.

“Who let you in? Get lost…” She glared at the middle-aged woman, the woman she could not be more familiar with, and pointed toward the door.

This was her home and they had no right to enter.

Li Qin turned and understanding dawned when she saw the couple on the sofa. Her face immediately crumbled and took on an ugly expression.

“He. Xi. Yan,” she said as she drew closer to her ex-daughter-in-law, emphasizing each syllable of her ex-daughter-in-law’s name. “How did the Mo family let you down? Are you a beast? How dare you set someone on Yixuan.”

She raised her hand, ready to strike viciously.

But a man caught her wrist mid-air.

Ye Hao scoffed and his face was terrifyingly pale. He flung her hand away and turned to pull He Xiyan behind him.

“I was the one who hit your son. If you want revenge, then come after me.” He said coldly as he looked at the two intruders. If he was not wrong, this middle-aged woman should be He Xiyan’s ex-mother-in-law.

This wretched woman. What kind of home did she marry into? Why did they all look so vile?

Xia Yuwei hid behind Mo Yixuan like a startled rabbit and wrapped her arms tightly around his waist. She suddenly started to cry, as though chili had gotten into her eyes.

Li Qin sensed that something was wrong. The man in front of her looked extremely tall and well-built and even his arms were muscular. She took a few steps back to stand beside her son but the corners of her lips curled to express her rage and disdain.

“I see, He Xiyan, how audacious of you. You’ve barely left the Mo family and now you’re shacking up with a toy boy.” She scoffed and looked at He Xiyan with her usual disdain and contempt.

This bitch, how dare she take their money to buy herself a man?

Ye Hao’s eyebrows slammed together at the words ‘boy toy’ and his gaze sharpened.

“Who did you call a boy toy?” He clenched his fist once again and if it was not for He Xiyan holding him back, he would have hit that woman.

Mo Yixuan pulled his mother close and pursed his lips together. He looked at Ye Hao, his eyes full of hatred and contempt.

“What are you if you aren’t a boy toy?” He suddenly asked and raised his chin tauntingly. “You said that you are wooing my ex-wife. Do you dare to admit that you’re not doing that because of money?”

Why else would he beat him up if not for money?

“Exactly, you must know that the Mo family had given He Xiyan a huge sum in alimony.” Li Qin raised her chin as well, displaying the contempt the rich had for those beneath them.
