Xiao Chen was utterly innocent. He looked at the manager, then at Mo Youyou, and said helplessly, "When did I slander him? I don't know any of you, not a single one of you. I was just telling the truth about what I saw to give this injured child justice. Aren't you just feeling guilty?"
"Nonsense! Impossible! You must have misread it, you must have misread it!" Mo Youyou shouted.
Her reaction instantly chilled the hearts of Mo Yancheng and Hu Feiyue.
If Mo Shuang'er and Liu Shengrui had given conflicting accounts, making the truth unclear, then Mo Youyou's unwillingness to take responsibility would have been understandable.
But now a new witness has appeared, and their account is exactly the same as Mo Shuang'er's. Even at this point, Mo Youyou still refuses to admit it. I ask you, besides protecting her own, does she have any respect for Mo Jiaqing?
No!
The wrongly accused cleaner, Xiao Chen, was furious. He was clearly telling the truth, so how could this person, in order to evade responsibility, accuse him of talking nonsense? Who would be so self-righteous after making a mistake?
No wonder they raised such bad children!
He just wouldn't believe it.
"Okay, I swear!" Xiao Chen suddenly raised his hand and swore to the sky, "If even a single word I just said is false, may I be hit by a car and die a horrible death, may I be struck by lightning!"
"Comrade, if you insist that I'm lying and making things up, then I swear to prove my innocence. If you firmly believe that I've slandered your child, then dare you make your child swear the same oath?!"
Xiao Chen's words were resounding!
Although making a solemn oath proves nothing, at least the fact that he dared to do it shows that he was really confident that he was not lying. In this case, people who dare not make an oath are more likely to be suspected.
"How vicious of you to force a child to swear an oath! Are you even human?" Mo Youyou questioned.
"Hehe... Mo Youyou, are you just going to deny it to the death? You accuse others of lying, and they swear oaths to prove their innocence, but when it comes to you swearing an oath, you accuse them of being malicious. So, no matter what, it's always someone else's fault, and you're completely blameless?" Hu Feiyue shouted. She was now certain that Liu Shengrui was the one who did it!
Otherwise, why would the cleaning staff, who have no grudge against them, stand up and slander Liu Shengrui for no reason?
That's hilarious!
Although Mo Shuang'er was terrified and anxious watching the adults argue, she was a smart girl and knew that she wasn't lying, so her swearing wouldn't hurt her.
“Mom, I swear, I didn’t lie, not a single word.” Mo Shuang’er said to Lin Qing.
"Good child, Mom believes you!" Lin Qing said, then looked at Mo Youyou and asked, "Shuang'er dares to swear, do you dare to make Liu Shengrui swear? Does he dare to say he didn't lie?"
This put Mo Youyou in a dilemma, as she couldn't produce any more compelling evidence in the face of everyone's doubts.
"Xiao Rui, tell Mom, did you lie?" Mo Youyou didn't force Liu Shengrui to swear, because she was also afraid, so she chose to ask Liu Shengrui again.
Liu Shengrui isn't stupid; he wouldn't actually swear an oath. What if he really got hit by a car and died on the way out?
He's only three years old; he doesn't want to die so young at all.
Liu Shengrui was also clever. He couldn't swear an oath, but he also couldn't just admit it directly, so he took a different approach and chose another method.
"Waaah..." As if he was frightened, Liu Shengrui suddenly burst into tears, hugging Mo Youyou's leg tightly and crying out, "Mommy, I'm scared, scared!"
“Xiao Rui, don’t be afraid,” Mo Youyou said, looking at everyone with resentment. She felt that they were forcing her and her son, and that everyone was ganging up on them. “With Mom here, don’t be afraid. Just say what you want.”
"I...I didn't mean to..."
Liu Shengrui actually admitted it directly.
In an instant, Mo Youyou felt as if she had been punched squarely in the face, leaving her stunned.
She had been trying to clear her son's name and deny the charges, but now that Liu Shengrui had changed his tune and admitted it, it felt like countless slaps were hitting her in the face. She was so ashamed!
"It really is him!"
"It really was him! And he lied earlier, saying it was an accident. This kid is too cunning..."
"Looking so young, yet possessing such cunning, truly..."
Everyone was at a loss for words.
Liu Shengrui's "confession" is not over yet.
"Xiaoqing went to pick up a toy, and he was about to fall. I was worried that he would fall, so I tried to stop him, but I couldn't stop him and he still fell and got hurt. I really didn't mean to..." Liu Shengrui cried as he defended himself.
Okay, that's a really good trick of playing the victim!
Although he admitted to the crime of "pushing", he justified it by saying that he wanted to help and wanted to stop Mo Jiaqing, but unfortunately he failed.
Suddenly, the nature of the matter changed.
It's incredible that this was the quick wit of a child.
Mo Youyou immediately accepted her son's explanation.
"You all heard that, right? Xiao Rui didn't do it on purpose. He was trying to help, not push Xiao Qing. It was really just an accident!" Mo Youyou shouted.
The rest of the Mo family members had incredibly interesting expressions, completely unable to believe what they had just heard.
Everyone can understand why Liu Shengrui did this. After all, it's understandable that a child would subconsciously want to escape and not want to face or take responsibility when he makes a mistake. He's only three years old and doesn't have a proper sense of right and wrong.
But Mo Youyou, an adult, is completely unable to distinguish right from wrong. She changes her stance and attitude at any time according to her son's "confession" and has no intention of taking any responsibility from beginning to end. Is she still a human being? Is she still a relative?
Their skin is as thick as a city wall!
"Mo Youyou, if Liu Shengrui had admitted it from the beginning, or said it from the start, then I might not have cared about it because we're relatives. But now he's changing his tune, and only after being exposed did he change his story. Do you think I'll believe him? Do you think I'll accept this explanation?" Hu Feiyue shouted, she now hated Liu Shengrui to the extreme.
They're both bad kids who ruined her son's life. She deeply regrets not firmly stopping them from playing together from the beginning.
Perhaps, this accident wouldn't have happened.
"Xiaoqing, it's all Mom's fault. Mom shouldn't have let you play with such bad kids. It's all Mom's fault!" Hu Feiyue was heartbroken and devastated by the truth.
“Youyou, you really went too far…” Mo Yancheng, who had been silent until now, finally couldn’t help but speak up. Mo Youyou had chilled his heart.
