Chapter 745 - 788: Even a Tiger Won’t Eat Its Cub
With this thought, Mo Xuehong held onto the last shred of hope, stepped down the stairs, and headed towards the last commercial building!Each building had a different design, and each floor sold different items! And the first floor of this building just happened to specialize in maternity and baby products! Mo Xuehong stepped into the building and immediately spotted an open maternity and baby shop!
After searching for so long and finally finding an open maternity and baby store, Mo Xuehong couldn’t help but sigh in relief and hurried inside!
As Mo Xuehong pushed the door open, a sweet and polite voice immediately greeted her, "Hello, welcome! How can I assist you today?"
Without even glancing at her, Mo Xuehong walked straight in and picked up several large packages of diapers, several large cans of imported formula, as well as imported bottles, baby clothes, and blankets from the shelves!
She bought almost everything needed for a newborn! And to be prepared for any emergency, she bought several pieces of each item!
Once she had bought almost everything, Mo Xuehong weighed in her mind again to see if anything was missing. After confirming nothing was lacking, she told the attendant, "Wrap all these up for me!"
"Certainly!" The sales assistant smiled, wrapping everything Mo Xuehong bought in plastic bags one by one while smiling and asking, "Would you like us to deliver these to your door? We offer free delivery within the city!"
Mo Xuehong urged with a blank face, "No need! Hurry up with the bill, I’m in a rush to get back!"
"Sure thing!" The sales assistant nodded, scanned everything through the scanner, then reported the total amount to Mo Xuehong. Mo Xuehong took out her golden card and handed it to the sales assistant.
The sales assistant swiped the card, Mo Xuehong entered her PIN, and once everything was in order, she left with her purchases!
Aware that the little one at home might be waiting anxiously, Mo Xuehong hurriedly left, grabbing a taxi at the entrance of the commercial building to head home! Because she was in such a rush, she didn’t notice a taxi tailing her!
When Mo Xuehong arrived home, little Chu Yi was still not awake, sleeping soundly and sweetly!
While she remained asleep, Mo Xuehong took out the bottle, sterilized it with hot water, and then washed the newly bought clothes with hot water, placing them on the heater to dry!
Once the bottle was sterilized and the clothes were drying, Mo Xuehong returned to the bedroom, lay on the bed, and stared intently at the sleeping little Chu Yi. As she watched, her eyes grew distant.
.........
At the hospital, Mu Beiting sat at the edge of the bed, Ye Anxin lying in the bed, eyes open, blankly staring at the ceiling!
Besides the two of them, the room also had Xiao Bai, the nanny, Ling Yueyue, and Ye’s mother!
Originally, there were also Yan Qinghan and some other idlers, but Mu Beiting found them too noisy and coaxed them out, leaving only Ling Yueyue and Ye’s mother!
Since Ling Yueyue and Ye’s mother arrived, they had been gently comforting Ye Anxin, who lay on the bed, not eating or drinking!
Since little Chu Yi was taken away by Mo Xuehong, Ye Anxin had been in a daze on the bed, unresponsive to anything they said, refusing to eat or drink!
Seeing her like this made everyone as anxious as ants on a hot pan, not knowing what to do!
And with her not eating or drinking, Mu Beiting also stayed on the bed with her!
As Ling Yueyue and Ye’s mother failed to persuade her, the atmosphere in the room gradually became somewhat muted!
At that moment, a sudden knock on the door broke the silence!
Ye Anxin thought it was just another visitor and remained unresponsive, still lying in a daze on the bed!
Seeing neither Ye Anxin nor Mu Beiting move, Xiao Bai sighed inwardly, stood up from the chair, and went to open the door!
Once the door opened, Pete, standing outside, walked over to the bed and called out, "President, Madam...!"
Upon hearing this voice, Ye Anxin and Mu Beiting were revitalized; Ye Anxin immediately sat up, urgently asking before Mu Beiting could speak, "Brother Pete, is there news about Chu Yi? Where is she now?"
"...!" Pete hesitated for a moment, then looked towards Mu Beiting!
Mu Beiting, maintaining his calm demeanor, said, "Just say it as it is!"
"Yes!" Pete nodded and then elaborated, "The President’s guess was indeed correct. As soon as the maternity and baby store in our commercial building opened, someone came in and bought a lot of baby supplies! According to the clerk’s description, it should definitely be the Mo Xuehong the President mentioned!"
Ye Anxin hurriedly asked again, "So, what’s the situation now? Is Mo Xuehong still in that store?"
Pete shook his head and answered truthfully, "She has already left! She was in quite a hurry back then, buying things hastily, and stayed there for less than half an hour in total! However, when she left, our people who were watching outside secretly followed her! I believe it won’t be long before we get news from there about where Mo Xuehong is currently staying!"
Upon hearing Pete’s words, Ye Anxin finally breathed a sigh of relief, "If that’s the case, then that’s really wonderful. At least it proves that Chu Yi is safe now, and Mo Xuehong hasn’t harmed her!"
Pete pondered for a moment, analyzing, "Not only hasn’t she harmed the young lady, but she also seems to be treating her well! I heard from our people observing outside that Mo Xuehong bought everything imported, including milk and bottles, even diapers are imported! If she didn’t care for the young lady, there would be no need to spend so much money on such good items for her! So, Madam, you don’t need to worry, she definitely won’t do anything to the young lady!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Anxin’s emotions suddenly became conflicted! Although she was happy that Mo Xuehong could treat Chu Yi well, thinking about how Mo Xuehong kidnapped Chu Yi for revenge made her feel very conflicted!
At this moment, Ling Yueyue also spoke to comfort her, "Anxin, there’s no need to worry; people have hearts. After all, Little Chu Yi is Mo Xuehong’s biological granddaughter. Even a tiger won’t eat its cubs! She won’t harm her own granddaughter!"
Although she wasn’t entirely clear about the enmity between Mo Xuehong and Mu Beiting, she knew quite a bit!
She always felt that a woman who loved her own daughter so much couldn’t be a cold-blooded creature and wouldn’t do anything to harm her own granddaughter!
Ye Anxin looked at Ling Yueyue, her expression becoming somewhat complex, then turned her gaze towards Pete, "Brother Pete, please keep an eye on the situation with Mo Xuehong at all times. Should there be any developments, be sure to come and inform me immediately!"
"Madam, I understand! If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first. I’ll report back as soon as there’s any news from there!" Saying this, he nodded towards Ye Anxin and Mu Beiting before turning and leaving.
