The birthday boy was lying at the bottom of the stairs in such a disheveled state.
Seeing her brother crying so miserably, Mo Shuang'er was also frightened by the sudden turn of events. Even though her mother had rushed over to protect her, she still couldn't stop screaming and crying.
"ah--"
"Shuang'er! Shuang'er?!" Lin Qing clearly noticed that something was wrong with her daughter, and there had to be a reason for this. Mo Jiaqing couldn't have fallen down the stairs for no reason.
Therefore, even if the murderer wasn't among the three children who were originally playing together, they should have been able to see what was going on.
"Shuang'er, stop shouting, Mommy's here, don't be afraid." Lin Qing squatted down, blocking her daughter's view so she could look directly into her eyes. "Alright, alright, it's alright now, Mommy and Daddy are here. Can you tell Mommy what happened? How did Xiaoqing fall down there?"
Upon hearing these words, Mo Shuang'er, who had been crying incessantly, gradually focused her unfocused gaze, slowly shifting from Mo Jiaqing to her mother's face.
"Mother……"
"Shuang'er, don't be afraid, tell Mommy." Lin Qing's voice was gentle yet firm, carrying a comforting power.
The rest of the Mo family members also looked at Mo Shuang'er, hoping to hear the truth from her.
Was Mo Jiaqing's fall an accident, or did something happen that they didn't know about?
"Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing was pushed down the stairs by him—" Mo Shuang'er hid behind her parents, pointed at Liu Shengrui, and cried out, "He pushed Xiaoqing down the stairs!"
"What?!" Everyone was stunned.
After witnessing this horrific scene, everyone had various speculations, but no one expected that Liu Shengrui would push her down the stairs.
"Impossible! How could Xiao Rui do such a thing?" Mo Youyou instinctively defended her son, anxiously explaining to everyone, "Xiao Rui is very well-behaved. At most, he was just fighting with his brother over a toy. How could he push someone?"
Mo Youyou couldn't let the blame fall on her son.
Mo Jiaqing's current condition doesn't look optimistic; who knows just how serious his injuries are?
As her aunt, Mo Youyou also felt sorry for him, but when the blame was directed at her own son, she would still choose to stand on his side without hesitation. That's just human nature.
"Shuang'er, are you scared? Even if you are scared, you can't talk nonsense. You can't wrong Xiao Rui. This is a serious matter. Xiao Rui can't take the blame." Mo Youyou said, staring at Mo Shuang'er, hoping that she would change her mind quickly.
Hearing Mo Shuang'er's accusations, Hu Feiyue stared at Liu Shengrui with resentment.
“I told you we shouldn’t have let Xiaoqing play with him, but you wouldn’t believe me. Now look what’s happened, our son has been hurt like this, and we don’t even know how badly he’s injured!” Hu Feiyue cried and complained to her husband, Mo Yancheng.
"This..." Mo Yancheng didn't know what to say.
But are Mo Shuang'er's accusations true?
If it's true, even if Liu Shengrui is just a child, he's a bad child with a vicious heart.
This was a very serious accusation, and even Lin Qing was startled. She gripped her daughter's hand tightly, her eyes filled with worry.
"Shuang'er, are you sure? It really was Xiao Rui who pushed Xiao Qing down. You didn't see wrong?" Lin Qing asked, hoping that it was all just a misunderstanding.
Otherwise, everyone will be completely disheartened.
"No mistake, it was him, it was him!" Mo Shuang'er didn't change her mind at all. Her eyes were clearly filled with fear as she looked at Liu Shengrui, as if she had recalled the moment she saw it. "The car fell down, and Xiao Qing went to pick it up. He, Xiao Rui pushed Xiao Qing down!"
Although Mo Shuang'er was filled with fear and spoke haltingly, she expressed herself clearly and her thinking was also very clear, pointing the finger at Liu Shengrui as the real culprit.
"Was it really Xiao Rui who recommended Xiao Qing?" The other relatives were all stunned.
If Mo Shuang'er is right, then Liu Shengrui pushed Mo Jiaqing down the stairs, causing Mo Jiaqing's current miserable state.
Would a three-year-old child not understand how dangerous this behavior is?
"It's him, Mom, it really is him!" Mo Shuang'er was very anxious because no one believed her. She even stomped her feet and pulled her father, Mo Yanhua, to emphasize, "Dad, Shuang'er really didn't lie. It was Xiao Rui who did it!"
Mo Youyou felt a buzzing in her head, and then she felt a great resentment towards Mo Shuang'er.
Why should I say it?
“Shuang’er, you must be scared and talking nonsense. Auntie can understand. A little girl like you will be frightened in this situation. It’s normal for her to talk nonsense, it’s normal…” Mo Youyou was still smiling, trying to cover up the truth and make Mo Shuang’er’s accusation a false accusation, so as to avoid Liu Shengrui bearing the responsibility and consequences of this matter.
"I didn't lie, it was Xiao Rui!" Mo Shuang'er wasn't scared anymore. She cried loudly, feeling wronged, because she had really been wronged.
In that instant, she saw it clearly: she had not wronged Liu Shengrui, nor had she lied a single word.
Liu Shengrui, who was at the center of the storm, did not cry or shout. He just stared blankly at Mo Jiaqing, who was lying on the ground groaning and crying in pain.
He felt extremely happy inside, but on the surface, he seemed to be so frightened that he couldn't speak.
There are no more witnesses; there are only three children here, and each of their words is important.
"Xiaoqing, tell Mom, who pushed you?" Hu Feiyue asked. As long as her son's story matched Shuang'er's, she would fight tooth and nail with Mo Youyou to get justice for her son.
"I...I didn't see it..." Mo Jiaqing answered honestly.
In that situation, he was facing the stairs and his eyes were fixed on the car. How could he have seen the hand reaching out from behind him?
Moreover, that moment was too brief, so brief that he couldn't tell whether he had lost his footing or had actually been pushed down.
The pain overwhelmed him, leaving him with no strength to recall anything, nor could he recall anything clearly.
Mo Jiaqing's honest statement that he didn't see or know gave Mo Youyou a chance to survive.
She spoke up directly on behalf of her son.
“Shuang’er must have seen wrong. Xiao Qing herself said she didn’t know. Maybe Xiao Qing accidentally fell down the stairs? It’s dangerous to go and pick something up!” Mo Youyou said. After she finished speaking, she pulled Liu Shengrui’s arm and shook it, asking, “Xiao Rui, you were there at the time, tell me what happened?”
The reasons were right in front of him; there was no way Liu Shengrui wouldn't understand them.
"Xiao Qing fell down by accident, really, I didn't push him, I really didn't push him," Liu Shengrui defended himself.
