Life had been tough throughout these years, yet Mo Qiansu managed to raise her son well, never once allowing him to get hurt.
Today, although she suffered all kinds of humiliation without shedding a single tear, the sight of her son injured caused the fortress in her heart to collapse thunderously.
Tears streamed down Mo Qiansu's face as she pleaded frantically, "Mr. Wei, Xiaoyu doesn't understand, please don't hurt him!"
"Mommy... don't beg him... Xiaoyu isn't scared..." the Little Demon King, even as he was choked to the point where he could barely breathe, stubbornly refused to let his mommy bow down for him.
...
"Qiansu, Xiaoyu, are you alright?!"
Outside the Ji Family villa, Bei Yiyi's voice rang out anxiously, blocked by Wei Tianhai's men from entering.
Hope flickered in Mo Qiansu's eyes, and for her child's sake, she steeled herself, "Mr. Wei, if it's my body you want, I'll give it to you! I have just one condition, let my friend take my son away, or else... even in death, I won't let you succeed!"
Wei Tianhai stared at the resolute Mo Qiansu for a good while before he finally let the child go.
When Bei Yiyi was allowed in, the sight of the Little Demon King and Mo Qiansu's predicament visibly frightened her.
"Yiyi, quickly take Xiaoyu to the hospital, he's hurt!"
"I don't want to leave Mommy..." clutching his mommy's clothes tightly, the Little Demon King refused to leave, wanting to stay and protect her.
"Xiaoyu, be good!"
"Qiansu…" Bei Yiyi was also struggling, unsure of what to do.
This place was filled with Wei Tianhai's people, and even if she stayed, it was clear she couldn't rescue Mo Qiansu. But to just leave like this, wasn't it like sending a lamb into a tiger's den?
"Yiyi, hurry!" Mo Qiansu handed over her child, urgently urging, "Xiaoyu has lost a lot of blood, it'll be dangerous if we don't get to a hospital soon!"
Over the years, the child was the only reason Mo Qiansu had to keep living, and Bei Yiyi knew well that if anything happened to him, she wouldn't survive.
The Little Demon King had lost too much blood, and his little face had turned several shades paler, indeed they couldn't afford to waste time.
Bei Yiyi, with a heavy heart, finally hurried away carrying the Little Demon King.
"Mommy—"
"I don't want to leave Mommy... waaa..."
Even at a distance, Mo Qiansu could still hear the cries of her child.
Her heart felt as if it was being torn apart.
...
"If you had been this obedient earlier, all this trouble could have been avoided!" Wei Tianhai was finally satisfied with Mo Qiansu's compliance.
He had injured his buttocks and naturally couldn't perform in bed. Fearing Mo Qiansu might try to escape halfway, he ordered his men to tie her up and take her away.

On the second floor of the Ji Family villa.
"Mom, Mo Qiansu is so proud, and she has such a fiery temperament, would she really be willing to be Wei Tianhai's mistress?"
Xu Jinhua watched as Mo Qiansu was thrown into a car below and sneered mockingly, "Right now she's nothing but a fallen rich girl, without money or influence, she doesn't get a say in what she wants!"
"Mom, what if dad finds out we sold her to Wei Tianhai and gets angry?"
"Hmph, so what if he gets angry!" Xu Jinhua bristled with anger at the mention of Ji Doujin, "That lustful freak has been bewitched by Mo Qiansu, that vixen, and has been protecting them in every way these past few years, don't you see? If we don't sell her to Wei Tianhai, would that cowardly excuse for a husband of mine rein in his lascivious desires? Otherwise, who knows when, in a bold move of lust, he might cast me aside and marry that vixen to be your stepmother!"
Xu Jinhua knew her husband was too cowardly to dare offend Wei Tianhai.
The Ji and Mo families actually had no blood relation. Ji Doujin was an assistant to Mo Qiansu's father ten years ago. Xu Jinhua, suspicious by nature, couldn't stand her husband giving extra attention to any other woman, let alone someone as beautiful as Mo Qiansu, whom he looked after so attentively. Naturally, she suspected some indiscreet involvement...
