"Zhang Weihong broke up with you?"

Mo Qiufeng asked casually.

"Yes, it was all Lu Ye and Ruan Qiqi's fault. They were so despicable that they actually went and told Zhang Weihong..."

Mo Congrong blurted out the answer in excitement, but then stopped abruptly. He was too embarrassed to talk about that shortcoming in front of his father.

"What did you say?"

Mo Qiufeng asked calmly.

"Anyway, I didn't say anything nice, Dad. They are so insidious. They just can't stand seeing me doing well!"

Don't complain in anger.

"This shows that the emotional foundation between you and Zhang Weihong is not solid. Otherwise, no matter what others say, it can't destroy your relationship." Mo Qiufeng's tone was cold and his eyes were full of disappointment.

The youngest son is too clever and self-righteous, thinking he is the best in the world, but in fact he is nothing.

This kid has had his life too easy. If he endures more hardships and hits the wall more often, his mind will be set right.

"Lao Mo, calm down, it's time to eat dumplings!"

Yuan Huilan's voice came from outside the door.

Mo Congrong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He would go back to work after eating the dumplings. If he stayed at home, he would be scolded by his father again.

Yuan Huilan cooked more than 200 dumplings and spread them out on several sieves. She also served them out in three separate plates and placed them on the table. The plump white dumplings were steaming and looked very tempting.

This is called a sieve, right?

Mo Congrong was already extremely hungry. Just as he was about to sit down to eat, he heard his father say, "Cook a bowl of vegetarian noodles for Congrong!"

"Don't we have dumplings?"

Yuan Huilan didn’t understand. After cooking so many dumplings, why did she have to cook noodles?

"Give the dumplings to Xiaoye. He never gets to eat dumplings at home!"

As Mo Qiufeng spoke, he poured all the dumplings in Mo Congrong's plate onto the sieve, leaving none for him.

Yuan Huilan and Mo Congrong's faces changed, and they finally understood why Mo Qiufeng was acting abnormally.

"Lao Mo, did Xiao Ye say something to you again?"

Yuan Huilan's face looked ugly and her tone was harsh.

"Why do you always blame Xiao Ye first? He is your biological son, why do you trust him the least?"

Mo Qiufeng frowned and asked back.

Before Ruan Qiqi told him, he had indeed ignored a lot. Now seeing Yuan Huilan's performance, he really felt sorry for Lu Ye.

His biological mother had no trust in him and often scolded and punished him, so it was no wonder that Lu Ye was so disrespectful to Yuan Huilan.

Yuan Huilan was furious and sneered, "If he hadn't said anything nonsense, why would you go home and give me a bad face and ask me to make so many dumplings?"

"Comrade Yuan Huilan, he is not someone else, he is your own son. Why do you speak of Xiaoye as if he were your enemy? The grudge between you and Lu Desheng has nothing to do with Xiaoye. Don't expand the conflict between adults to a child."

Mo Qiufeng's face also darkened. He originally wanted to talk to his wife nicely, but before he opened his mouth, his wife became angry and spoke in a sarcastic tone. This attitude made him feel a little disappointed for Lu Ye.

"Also, Xiaoye never said anything in front of me. Yuan Huilan, before you question me, please answer me first. When Xiaoye lived in our house, did he not get to eat dumplings once? Did you and Congrong Jinsong eat dumplings at home while Xiaoye stood outside alone as punishment, and it was snowing at the time?"

Mo Qiufeng has always been gentle and elegant, speaking slowly and almost never losing his temper, but at this moment, his whole body exudes coldness and his eyes are colder than ice.

It was the first time Yuan Huilan saw him like this. She felt timid and her momentum weakened.

"That's because he made a mistake, so I made him stand outside as punishment."

She defended herself and didn't feel she was wrong.

If a child makes a mistake, he must be punished. There is no order without rules. This is how she has been living since she was a child.

"What mistake did you make?" Mo Qiufeng asked coldly.

"He bullies Congrong. This kid is too arrogant and always bullies others."

Yuan Huilan looked very disgusted. When Lu Ye was a child, he was like a wild beast, attacking anyone he saw. Almost all the children in the compound had been beaten by him. She had to apologize to others every now and then, and she was exhausted.

Mo Qiufeng looked at his youngest son and asked, "Congrong, did Xiaoye bully you? Or did you deliberately provoke Xiaoye? Tell the truth, don't play tricks in front of me!"

His voice was even colder, colder than the north wind in the coldest days of winter.

Yuan Huilan and Mo Congrong were so cold that they dared not even breathe. They had never seen Mo Qiufeng so cold and stern before, and they felt very frightened and uneasy.

"How could Congrong bully Xiaoye? He is not that kind of person."

Yuan Huilan defended her stepsons. She always felt that the two stepsons were good and sensible children, just like their father, smart, sensible, polite and well-mannered, much better than the barbaric and rude Lu Ye.

"I didn't ask you to answer calmly!"

Mo Qiufeng glanced at her with cold eyes.

Yuan Huilan's heart trembled and she dared not speak anymore.

Mo Congrong lowered his head, and cold sweat broke out on his back, soaking his clothes. The coldness stuck to his skin and chilled him to the heart.

"I didn't provoke him, he bullied me first."

Mo Congrong didn't dare to look up, let alone tell the truth.

"Think it over before answering. If I find out that you are not telling the truth, Mo Congrong, I will let you go to the most difficult grassroots training, for an unlimited time!"

Mo Qiufeng's voice was neither loud nor fierce, but it made Mo Congrong feel frightened.

He knew that his father was never as gentle and refined as he appeared to be. How could his father, who had been lurking in the city for more than ten years and still be safe and sound, be a gentle and kind person?

He believed even more that his father would really let him go to the grassroots for training. Thinking of the harsh environment in the countryside, he felt terrible.

"I did it on purpose. I told Lu Ye that his mother didn't like him and that he would not be included in the dumplings made today. Then Lu Ye took action."

Mo Congrong told the truth with a sad face, he didn't dare to gamble.

His father is much more ruthless than Lu Desheng. If the truth is uncovered, he might really have to stay in the countryside for the rest of his life and never get out!

"Calmly?"

Yuan Huilan looked at him in disbelief.

How could a sensible and considerate stepson be a scheming dog who seeks to sow discord?

She doesn't believe it!

Mo Congrong didn't dare to look at her and kept his head down.

"Congrong, why do you say that? Am I not good enough for you?"

Yuan Huilan looked at him disappointedly and felt very upset.

She was sincere to her two step-sons, but what she got in return was their scheming. She felt like her sincerity had been wasted.

Mo Congrong didn't say anything. No matter how he answered this question, it would be wrong. He might as well pretend to be dumb.

Moreover, he felt that Yuan Huilan was so stupid and naive that she didn't care about her own son and was nice to other people's sons instead. She was extremely stupid.

No matter how well Yuan Huilan does, in his heart, she is just a stepmother. He only recognizes his biological mother and will only be filial to her.

"Reflect on yourself when you go back. I have a piece of advice for you. You should be down-to-earth in everything you do. Don't always think of taking shortcuts. The end result of taking shortcuts may very likely be falling into an abyss!"

Mo Qiufeng ordered him to leave, but his youngest son didn't realize his mistake at all, so it was useless no matter how much he said.

So he planned to send this kid to the tough grassroots training. After he hit the wall a few more times, his stubborn mind would become clear.
