“If you insist on saying it this way, then I can’t help it.” Liu Dekai looked at Mo Cheng and Jiang Rongmei and explained, “Dad, Mom, Su Yueya and I are completely innocent, both before and now. Of course, she did tell me about Chaoxiong, but I did make my own judgment. I checked the information, and there were later facts to verify it. There was no personal relationship involved!”
Mo Cheng remained silent; he believed Liu Dekai's words.
After all, even if Liu Dekai wanted to do something reckless, Su Yueya wouldn't allow it. The Qiao family's background was what it was, and Su Yueya's husband was Lu Zhengjun. There was no reason for her to have an affair with Liu Dekai after marrying Lu Zhengjun.
“But even if Xiao Rui is a super hero—” Mo Cheng had only just begun to speak when Mo Youyou called out again.
"Dad?! How could you be like him?"
Mo Youyou couldn't stand it anymore. She felt that at least her parents would stand by her side, but hearing Mo Cheng's opening sentence, it was as if he had already admitted that Liu Shengrui was Chaoxiong.
"Liu Dekai, you win, you win, okay! You keep saying your son is Chaoxiong, and you even moved out to live in the military dormitory instead of coming home. I know what you mean. You just want to force me, don't you? You want to—" Mo Youyou was so angry that she went crazy and started to speak recklessly.
Mo Youyou originally didn't want her family to know about their separation.
This was just a slip of the tongue.
But Mo Cheng quickly grasped the key point.
"What did you say?!" Mo Cheng glared at Liu Dekai and asked, "What did Youyou mean by what she just said? You two argued about this, and you even moved to the military dormitory?"
Separation? This is no small matter!
Besides, everyone in the army knows that Mo Youyou and Liu Dekai got married. Now that he's hiding in the dormitory, what will others think of Mo Youyou and the Mo family?
“Youyou, you silly child, how could you not tell me or your dad about something so important?” Jiang Rongmei also strongly disapproved.
When they were discussing Chao Xiong earlier, Jiang Rongmei didn't say a word, but when it came to her daughter and son-in-law's separation, she immediately became restless and insisted on getting to the bottom of it.
"Dekai, what exactly happened? How could you live separately from Youyou? What kind of talk is it for a husband and wife not to live together?" Jiang Rongmei questioned.
She's usually gentle and never says a harsh word to anyone, but her tone is very bad now, and you can tell she's really angry.
"When couples quarrel, they make up before they get out of bed. They need to communicate. Will living separately solve the problem?" Jiang Rongmei glared at them, strongly disapproving. "You can't do this. Move back in right now, do you hear me, Dekai?"
"Yes, move it back right now, don't embarrass me!" Mo Cheng started slamming the table again.
I don't know how long they've been separated, or how long they've been a laughing stock for everyone!
"Dad, it's not that I want to separate from Youyou, it's just that she's unwilling to face reality and still feels that Xiaorui can be saved—"
"Liu Dekai, I don't care about any superhero stuff, you're my son-in-law, Mo Cheng's son-in-law. Unless you want to divorce Youyou, I'm telling you, you're not allowed to separate. Move back right now!" Mo Cheng shouted.
“Don’t be angry, in-laws. Move it. I’ll urge Dekai to move it back right away. They’re just being temperamental. It’s not a big deal…” Zhang Cuihua finally found an opportunity to interject.
Nothing was more serious than the score difference, and they were too lazy to even discuss Chao Xiong. Mo Cheng ordered them to move immediately.
Not a single minute can be wasted!
"Let's move it now!"
Liu Dekai: "..."
He had no choice. His father-in-law had already spoken up, and just as Mo Cheng said, since he wasn't planning on getting a divorce, moving out wouldn't solve anything. Could he live in the dormitory forever? He'd be drowned in everyone's spit.
"I understand, Dad, I'll go move it right away," Liu Dekai said.
Mo Youyou still wanted to argue with Liu Dekai, but now that he was gone, she had nothing left to argue with.
Afterwards, Mo Cheng and Jiang Rongmei didn't dwell too much on Chao Xiong's matter. Instead, they advised their daughter on her relationship issues, telling her to cherish her married life with Liu Dekai.
“Youyou, your marriage to Dekai is a military marriage, and you were the one who insisted on marrying him, so Mom doesn’t care. You have to live a good life with him, understand?” Jiang Rongmei scolded. “Besides, Dekai hasn’t done anything to wrong you. He’s just a bit extreme about Xiaorui. Don’t take it to heart.”
"Mom!" Mo Youyou felt wronged and frustrated. Was this her fault?
It wasn't a time for arguing. She kicked Liu Dekai out. It was clearly Liu Dekai who wanted to leave. Did she stop him? What would she be then? Where would Mo Youyou's face be?
"But Xiao Rui is my son, I can't stand him treating Xiao Rui like this!" Mo Youyou said angrily.
"Does Xiao Rui really abuse dogs?" Jiang Rongmei asked.
Mo Youyou: "..."
She couldn't answer, pouted, and looked unconvinced. "I didn't see it with my own eyes, how do I know if what he said is true or false? What if he can't participate in the mission and gets angry, so he takes his anger out on Xiao Rui and makes Xiao Rui his punching bag? It's not impossible!"
"Mo Youyou, listen to what you're saying. Does it make any sense? Even if Dekai is a scoundrel, would he fabricate such a lie and spread rumors that his own child abused dogs?" Mo Cheng retorted.
Whether animal abuse is illegal or not is hard to define, but it is certainly very immoral and inhumane.
This is not something that can be spread casually, and it certainly wouldn't be spread about one's own son!
Therefore, Mo Cheng actually believed Liu Dekai's words, but he did not realize the seriousness of the matter. He thought that his grandson might just be a bit wild and difficult to tame, but that he was not beyond saving.
"Who knows if it's just a rumor..." Mo Youyou was still being stubborn.
"So tell me, do you still want to live with him?" Jiang Rongmei simply used reverse psychology, after all, she knew her daughter best. "If you don't want to live with him anymore, then I'll talk to your dad. Even if it costs him his reputation, military marriages are hard to get a divorce, I'll have him handle it for you. Just give me an answer!"
After Jiang Rongmei said that, Mo Youyou was speechless.
Divorce? No way!
If she divorced Liu Dekai, not only would she become a laughing stock, but she would also prevent Xiao Rui from living and growing up with her biological parents. How could she possibly get a divorce?
"I didn't say I wanted a divorce..."
"That's settled then!" Mo Cheng made the decision. "If you don't want a divorce, then live your lives properly and stop causing trouble! Also, Xiao Qing is injured and is still in the hospital. You and De Kai go and apologize to her. You're not allowed to argue anymore. Can you do that?!"
