Transmigrated into a vicious stepmother, striving to raise the little villain

Back home, Mo Jingyu held Jiang Yan'an tightly the whole time, not even letting go during meals. The little guy's mood had clearly improved, and he had returned to being the happy and lively "little puppy" he used to be.

That evening, Jiang Zhiyan returned home after work and gently pushed open the bedroom door, only to find a small figure on the bed. The two, one big and one small, were watching TV closely together.

Jiang Yan'an, with her sharp eyes, spotted her father entering the room at a glance. Instantly, she became like a protective little animal, hugging her mother tightly and saying, "Dad, I want to sleep with Mom from now on. You go somewhere else; this bed is too small for you!"

Mo Jingyu couldn't help but chuckle at Jiang Yan'an's adorable appearance and chimed in, "That's right, there's no place for you here anymore." After saying that, she affectionately hugged Jiang Yan'an.

Jiang Zhiyan smiled helplessly, feeling utterly betrayed by his son. He stepped forward, gently grabbed Jiang Yan'an, and started tickling the little guy's armpits. Jiang Yan'an immediately burst into laughter, repeatedly shouting, "Mommy, save me! Hahahaha! Daddy's a bad guy! Hahahaha..."

Mo Jingyu quickly reached out to protect Jiang Yan'an, joining him in "fighting" against Jiang Zhiyan. In an instant, the room was filled with laughter and joy, a warm atmosphere permeating every corner.

After a short while, Jiang Yan'an lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep, breathing evenly. Mo Jingyu and Jiang Zhiyan exchanged a glance and chuckled softly in unison. Mo Jingyu carefully laid Jiang Yan'an down and was about to get up when her phone suddenly beeped with a message notification.

It was a message from Gu Shiqing, Yu Jie is my goddess: [Ah Xing, Yu Jie, we found out. This guy is having an ambiguous relationship with a girl named Xie Yao. Paparazzi have taken video of the two of them entering a hotel.]

Looking at the evidence sent by Gu Shiqing, Mo Jingyu's eyes instantly ignited with fury. She secretly thought to herself, if only she could also have the chat history between the two of them, and if she could catch them in the act, that would further solidify Wang Baiyi's shameful deeds and let her cousin see the true face of this man.

Mo Jingyu racked her brains trying to figure out where to get this evidence. Suddenly, an idea struck her, and a person popped into her mind—one that wouldn't require hacking. She immediately and eagerly sent a message to that person.

Yu: [Could you get Xie Yao's and Wang Baiyi's chat history for me?]

X: [I understand. You're going to deal with Xie Yao?]

Yu: [I guess so.]

X: [Be careful, Xie Yao is no simple person.]

Yu: [Good.]

After sending the message, Mo Jingyu suddenly came to her senses. Jiang Zhiyan was still in the room. Their eyes met, and she couldn't help but feel a little awkward.

But then Mo Jingyu thought that now that she had this evidence, Jiang Zhiyan would probably believe her if she told him. So she said, "I found out some things about my cousin's husband. Perhaps Wang Baiyi isn't as good as my cousin thinks." As she spoke, she handed her phone to Jiang Zhiyan.

Jiang Zhiyan quickly glanced at the phone and handed it back to Mo Jingyu. Mo Jingyu thought he didn't believe her and was about to explain in detail when Jiang Zhiyan spoke first, "I know, I've also had someone investigate."

Mo Jingyu asked curiously, "How did you know?" Jiang Zhiyan sat down on the edge of the bed, took out his phone and handed it to Mo Jingyu, saying, "The way he looked at you that day was disgusting, so I asked Shi An to check it out."

Mo Jingyu said in surprise, "You saw it that day! Right? It was really disgusting. I knew there was something wrong with this person right away."

"Mm." Jiang Zhiyan responded softly. After Mo Jingyu finished reading the evidence on her phone, she stood up and said, "Do whatever you want. I will fully support you."

Mo Jingyu looked up at Jiang Zhiyan. At that moment, the light shone on him, as if outlining a sacred halo around him, making him seem like a savior descending upon her. A warm feeling welled up in Mo Jingyu's heart, and she nodded firmly, indicating that she understood.

Jiang Zhiyan walked out of the bedroom and gently closed the door. His mind kept replaying the doctor's words from earlier that day: "Your situation could be due to attraction, or it could be caused by insufficient contact with the opposite sex. Whether it's true attraction or not, you need to carefully judge for yourself."

"To make my own judgment... But what exactly is my judgment...?" Jiang Zhiyan fell into deep thought, and his steps unconsciously slowed down.

With the company matters resolved smoothly, Mo Jingyu slept exceptionally well that night, even dreaming of Qi Yun'er, whom she hadn't seen in a long time. When she woke up in the morning, Mo Jingyu was still somewhat dazed, remaining in a daze for a while. It had been a long time since she had dreamt of her past life, which made her inexplicably uneasy. Her intuition told her that something seemed to have happened to Qi Yun'er, yet she kept praying in her heart that she was safe and sound.

Mo Jingyu took a deep breath, walked to the sink, washed her face with cold water to clear her mind, and then slowly went downstairs.

As soon as she went downstairs, she saw Jiang Xing and an unfamiliar young man sitting on the sofa. Mo Jingyu walked over and saw Jiang Yan'an playing happily between the two, so she sat down on the sofa and asked, "And who is this?"

Just as Jiang Xing was about to introduce himself, the boy jumped up excitedly and introduced himself in a cheerful tone, "Sister Yu, hello! I'm Gu Shiqing, all my classmates really like you." Mo Jingyu found the boy amusing and couldn't help but laugh, "Hello, thank you for digging up this scoop. But is it trendy for the whole class to watch variety shows together these days?"

Jiang Xing quickly pulled the excited Gu Shiqing aside and explained, "No, it's just that during one self-study period, the teacher was showing a movie, and our class monitor accidentally clicked on your live stream. After that, everyone became your fans."

Mo Jingyu smiled and caught Jiang Yan'an who rushed towards her, then asked Jiang Xing, "Why are you guys here? Don't you have class?"

Jiang Xing sat down on the sofa and said to Mo Jingyu, "Our school organized a field trip yesterday, so we have a holiday today. We came to tell you that we found out Wang Baiyi might have booked a hotel for today, and we'd like to see if we can catch him in the act." Jiang Xing paused and continued, "But that hotel requires adults to enter."

Mo Jingyu frowned in confusion, "What kind of hotel requires adults to enter? It's not one of those shady hotels, is it?" Gu Shiqing quickly waved his hand, "No, no, that hotel is a couples' hotel, so you need to be an adult to check in."

Mo Jingyu was astonished, never expecting Wang Baiyi to be so bold as to directly arrange a meeting at a love hotel. "That won't do either. If I booked a hotel like that, I'd definitely be trending tomorrow. Let me think..." Mo Jingyu pondered for a moment, deciding that hiring a paparazzi was the best solution.

“We’ll pay a reliable paparazzi to record a video. I also have some new evidence here, I’ll organize it and send it to you tonight.”

Jiang Xing nodded in agreement. Jiang Yan'an, sitting in Mo Jingyu's lap, tilted his little head and asked curiously, "What are you going to do?" Mo Jingyu patiently explained, "We're going to catch a bad guy. This bad guy deceived your aunt."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan'an immediately stood up from Mo Jingyu's arms and said in a childish but extremely firm voice, "Who lied to Auntie! I want to catch the bad guys too."

Mo Jingyu smiled and patted Jiang Yan'an's head gently, saying, "An'an is still young, so let Mom catch the bad guys. Just cheer for Mom, An'an."

Jiang Yan'an nodded vigorously, his earnest expression was incredibly cute.

Mo Jingyu looked at the two boys and said, "Then you two go play with An'an. I'll handle the rest."
