Xia Jingshu couldn’t help but heave a soft sigh. It would only be a matter of time before He Xiyan finds out that they were the ones who requested the judge to award custody of the child to the Mo family and that they had personally told the judge that the Ye family would not accept a child who was not biologically theirs.

She guessed that her daughter-in-law would hate them for life once she found out.

Ye Snr. frowned deeply and he looked conflicted for a quick moment but this moment passed so soon that this emotion was barely perceptible. Then, he coughed twice and placed his wizened hand on his wife’s shoulder as he said, “Don’t worry too much. If she hates us, then so be it.”

It was better than keeping a ticking time bomb within the family.

He didn’t have much longer to live and didn’t wish to see the Ye family business fall into someone else’s hands in the future. Otherwise, it would be better to divide his assets amongst his four children while he was still alive.

Xia Jingshu shook her head helplessly and said, “This is the only way.”

“Yan Yan, please don’t blame me for being ruthless. I was only doing it for my own child too…” she thought.

At the same time, everyone was extremely busy in the Mo mansion.

After Li Qin carried her precious grandson home, the family released more than ten minutes worth of firecrackers and fireworks while the neighbors and the friends she usually played cards with all came over to congratulate her. They even brought along children’s clothes and toys.

“Congratulations, Mrs. Mo. Your grandson looked really beautiful. I’d gladly give up ten years of my life to have a son as beautiful as him,” Madam Wang who was one of Li Qin’s card buddies said with an ingratiating smile.

Another card buddy, Madam Chen, also came by and said enviously as she held Li Qin’s hand, “Sigh… Sister Li, your grandson is already a year old while my daughter-in-law has not even given birth after five years. She keeps telling me that she’s too young and will only consider having a baby after 30 years old. I’m so angry!”

Madam Chen wrung her hands after she spoke. If it wasn’t for the fact that her daughter-in-law’s family was very influential and could help out her son in his career, she would have already persuaded him to get a divorce. Li Qin beamed happily and she was extremely excited and happy today. She felt like she was walking on air, as though all her illnesses had been cured.

As expected, once her mood improved, her health also improved.

The newly appointed nanny, Wang Juan was trying to coax Yuan Yuan in the newly decorated children’s room. She had ten years of experience as a nanny and had raised many children but none of her tactics worked with this child.

This child refused to eat anything and kept crying. He had already cried till his voice was hoarse but tears continued to stream down his face.

She felt terrible when she saw how miserable he was.

“Yuan Yuan, do you want to be carried?”

Wang Juan said as she stretched out her arms and smiled at Yuan Yuan, looking very friendly and approachable.

However, Yuan Yuan continued to cry and rubbed at his eyes with his tiny hands as tears continued to flow.

He had cried for such a long time that his eyes were now swollen.

He just sat there crying and did not kick up a fuss at all.

The nanny brought her basin of water over and tried to wash his hands and face but Yuan Yuan didn’t want her to touch him at all. The moment she stretched out her hand, he scratched her hard and left scratch marks running down her arms.

Wang Juan couldn’t do anything else but to keep him company.

Li Qin entered the room after she finished entertaining her friends and she was very upset to see that Yuan Yuan was still crying.

“What’s going on? Why is he still crying? He’s been crying for such a long time that if he continues to cry like this, he would fall sick,” she said fiercely.
