"Su Yueya, you—" Mo Youyou was furious, but she couldn't refute a single word Su Yueya said.

She hated it so much that she clenched her teeth.

Su Yueya still had that infuriating look on her face, feigning confusion.

"What's wrong with me?" Her smile vanished as she stared at Mo Youyou with a fierce look, asking, "Did I say something wrong?"

Mo Youyou really wanted to take action directly, even if it meant fighting Su Yueya, but the last shred of reason she had left told her she couldn't do that.

She did take Su Yueya's words to heart.

If the matter were to escalate to the leaders, she might not have a chance of winning. Even if her father intervened, she might not necessarily gain anything.

Therefore, she dared not.

Su Yueya was right; she didn't dare to do it.

Seeing that Mo Youyou had backed down, Su Yueya was too lazy to continue. Luckily, Mo Youyou was still able to listen to her, otherwise, if she really made a scene, Su Yueya wouldn't be worried about anything else, she would just feel very embarrassed.

So, Su Yueya stopped provoking Mo Youyou and left.

Mo Youyou's anger did not leave with Su Yueya.

She couldn't process it at all. Even after she got home and sat on the sofa, the image of her confrontation with Su Yueya still made her heart race.

"Why, why on what grounds..." Mo Youyou clenched her fists.

Meanwhile, Liu Dekai also heard about this incident and learned the truth from the soldiers' discussions.

Lu Zhengjun not only survived, but was also promoted to brigade commander.

This mission was closely related to Lu Zhengjun's undercover work. Not only was Lu Zhengjun promoted as a result, but many soldiers who performed well in the encirclement and suppression operation also received medals, promotions, or commendations.

Only Liu Dekai did not.

He could have seized this opportunity and perhaps even risen to a higher level, but this crucial chance was squandered by his own son.

"Why do you two look so down as soon as you get home from work?" Zhang Cuihua asked, puzzled. She picked up the child and asked Liu Shengrui to go and cheer up his parents. "Xiao Rui, make your parents smile."

Liu Shengrui was just going along with his grandmother's words. He walked over to his parents and smiled at them.

But when Liu Dekai saw Liu Shengrui, it was hard not to think of the opportunities he had missed, especially today, he couldn't help but compare himself to Lu Zhengjun again.

In that instant, the couple found themselves thinking the same thing.

Liu Dekai was thinking that the gap between him and Lu Zhengjun was getting bigger and bigger. Lu Zhengjun was already a brigade commander. Could he still catch up? Did he still have a chance to catch up?

Mo Youyou was thinking that she was still just the daughter of a brigade commander, while Su Yueya had become the wife of a brigade commander. Would she be able to surpass Su Yueya in the future?

As expected of a married couple, they were both thinking of tripping up Lu Zhengjun or Su Yueya at this moment, but they couldn't find a suitable opportunity and were also afraid that they might get themselves into trouble.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get, and the angrier I get, the more I think about it.

"Get out of here." Liu Dekai had little patience. Although he had moved back home, his attitude towards Liu Shengrui remained the same—cold and distant. He was in a bad mood at the moment, so he casually pushed him away.

In that instant, Liu Shengrui lost his balance, staggered a couple of steps, and fell to the ground.

Liu Shengrui was stunned, unable to understand why his father had pushed him.

Then, in a daze, she burst into tears.

"Wow--"

This cry immediately ignited the emotions of Mo Youyou and Liu Dekai.

"What are you doing? You're upset and you're taking it out on the child. What kind of father are you?" Mo Youyou yelled.

The anger she felt from being humiliated by Su Yueya was now vented on Liu Dekai.

Liu Dekai is also building up his momentum; can he afford to misfire at this point?

"What did I vent? If I really wanted to vent, would I have just given him a light shove? I would have kicked him like he did back then!" Liu Dekai retorted.

“You’re saying this…” Mo Youyou pointed at Liu Dekai, her fingers trembling.

She understood; Liu Dekai was still resentful towards his son.

He regretted that his arm injury prevented him from participating in the encirclement and suppression mission.

"Liu Dekai, are you unable to move on? Are you determined to remember this for the rest of your life?" Mo Youyou frowned. She thought that Liu Dekai's return home meant that he had chosen to let go of the past.

However, this thorn in my heart has never been removed, so how can I let it go?

"How could I not remember it? Do you want to see what's going on in the army right now? Everyone who participated in this encirclement and suppression mission has been commended. Lu Zhengjun has even been promoted to brigade commander. If I hadn't gotten into trouble, if I had participated in this mission, I might have been promoted by now!"

Liu Dekai spoke louder and louder, until he was even shouting.

"Mo Youyou, who ruined all of this? What was the point of all my training, and who ruined it? Don't you know? And yet, I can't even complain?"

Throughout the entire process, Liu Dekai felt that he was the one who was most wronged, because he missed a good opportunity for promotion and merit because of Chaoxiong's son.

This was a huge blow to his career.

How could he not hate it!

"I already told you it was an accident, an accident! You insist on dwelling on it, and you're only satisfied when you've ruined your own life, is that it?"

"An accident? Was it an accident? Hahaha..." Liu Dekai suddenly burst into laughter, his expression manic. "Why can't you face reality even now? What accident? To hell with accident! It's all Liu Shengrui's fault, it's this Chaoxiong's fault!"

Chao-Hsiung, it's Chao-Hsiung again!

Why can't we always get around Su Yueya?

At that moment, Mo Youyou was so angry that she couldn't control her emotions at all. When Liu Dekai called out to Chaoxiong, she walked straight up to him and slapped him across the face.

"Smack—"

Liu Dekai's face turned to one side, but he seemed to feel nothing. His lips twitched, and he continued to laugh, completely unconcerned about the slap.

"Oh dear, arguing is one thing, but how can you resort to violence?" Zhang Cuihua felt heartbroken seeing her son being hit, so she quickly stepped in to stop the two and advised, "Youyou, let's reason with each other, let's not fight!"

"Am I being unreasonable? Are you deaf? He said Xiao Rui is a superhero, and he's still blaming Xiao Rui. Can't you hear him? Am I trying to start a fight?" Mo Youyou was like a madwoman at this moment.

She knew she wasn't pretty, but she had completely lost control.

"I can't stand you anymore. You're already like this, and you're still deceiving yourself?" Liu Dekai found it ridiculous. How could he possibly wake up someone who was pretending to be asleep?

"You still think Liu Shengrui is alright? Isn't he Chaoxiong?"

How can a person run away like this?

"Enough, Liu Dekai, you are not allowed to mention those two words again, not at all!"
