"Besides, what good would it do for us to be there for her? What would we do besides offer a few perfunctory words of comfort? In fact, because of our presence, Crescent Moon would have to pretend to be strong to reassure us, which would only make her more tired."
"So, all we need to do is show her our attitude and let her know that we're always there for her when she needs us."
"Let her cry now. Once she's cried enough, Crescent Moon will definitely pull herself together. I believe in her!"
Qiao Gaoyang himself was quite surprised. He was originally struggling with how to persuade everyone not to bother Su Yueya, but when he opened his mouth, he actually spoke very logically and it sounded quite convincing!
"Really?" Qiao Shouyan asked doubtfully. "Are you sure your analysis is correct?"
“That makes sense…” Qiao Xinruo nodded.
“The second son is right. Yueya is not a weak person. She may not be able to accept it right now, but she will eventually figure it out.” Liu Yuying also agreed with her second son’s analysis.
So the family went about their business, deciding to give Su Yueya enough space to process her emotions.
Qiao Gaoyang: "..."
Thank goodness, seeing everyone back in their places, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He made such nice promises before, but his real purpose was only one thing: he was worried that Su Yueya's acting skills would be exposed!
Being alone is good. Being alone allows Su Yueya to relax and also ensures that the other family members won't notice anything amiss.
————————————
Liu Dekai and Mo Youyou went straight home after leaving Mo Cheng's office.
The two almost got into another argument on the way, and the point of contention was still Su Yueya.
"Liu Dekai, you saw and heard everything with your own eyes and ears when we were talking to the experts today. It wasn't something I made up to fool you. You know Su Yueya's attitude perfectly well!"
“She keeps contradicting herself. If you still believe her and think this child is not safe, fine, you don’t want it, but I will!” Mo Youyou was desperate.
Of course, she didn't actually want to divorce Liu Dekai or anything; she just wanted to express her determination.
She's determined to keep this child!
Just imagine Su Yueya becoming a widow while her husband is successful, her son is healthy, and her family is happy... Tsk tsk tsk... This huge contrast is enough for her to completely trample Su Yueya under her feet.
In this power struggle between her and Su Yueya, she ultimately had the last laugh.
"What are you saying?" Liu Dekai quickly stopped Mo Youyou.
Su Yueya is now a widow, and he does have some plans in mind, but he will never show them openly, after all, he has always been concerned about his image.
Even if it involves taking benefits, it must be made to appear as if he "has no choice" but to take them.
Simply put, he wants both face and substance!
When the two returned home, Zhang Cuihua couldn't wait to ask what had happened.
"Did you find Crescent Moon? What did she say? Did she explain?"
"Tch," Mo Youyou said with disdain. She was truly impressed by this mother and son. One health-enhancing pill was like a magic potion for them. "Mom, the Crescent Moon you've been longing for is just a con artist. She's a big liar. Only simple-minded people like you, who can't see through things, would be fooled by her."
"They've already been sold out, and they're still counting money for the seller!" Mo Youyou mocked.
Luckily, she was quick-witted enough; otherwise, if she had really aborted the child, wouldn't Su Yueya have gotten her way?
"Youyou, how could Mom be thinking about her! You're my good daughter-in-law. Mom's worried about my grandson's health!" Zhang Cuihua wasn't fooled by Mo Youyou; her mind was quick. "What exactly happened?"
“Dekai and I found her and told her that the instruments in China couldn’t detect superheroes at all. We asked her what led her to that conclusion, and guess what? Hey! She just said she never said anything like that!”
"Could it be that Dekai is lying?"
"Su Yueya doesn't even dare to admit what she said in front of others. Doesn't that say something? What kind of person wouldn't dare to admit something? Only liars, rumor-mongers, and people with ulterior motives would do that!"
"If you actually believe that and force me to abort the child, they might be laughing in their sleep in the middle of the night!"
Mo Youyou hadn't said her piece earlier, but now that the "stage" was set up, she naturally wanted to give it her all.
She was feeling incredibly refreshed! She couldn't wait to spread the word throughout the entire unit that Su Yueya wasn't a good person!
"Really?" Zhang Cuihua couldn't believe it. She looked at Liu Dekai and asked for confirmation, "Does Yueya really deny that she said that?"
Liu Dekai looked at her and nodded.
Zhang Cuihua was puzzled. Based on the three years they had spent together, she felt that Su Yueya's character was fine, so she couldn't understand why this would happen.
“Yueya doesn’t seem like that kind of person… How could she be like this?” Zhang Cuihua asked, puzzled.
"That's ridiculous. You can know a person's face but not their heart. Even if you sleep in the same bed, you may not know what the other person is really thinking. Why do you trust Su Yueya so much?" Mo Youyou retorted.
"Oh, now that the truth is right in front of you, you still refuse to believe it. Well then, I have nothing more to say!"
"Anyway, do whatever you want, but don't even think about harming my child! I will never abort my baby!"
"Also, let me tell you, Su Yueya has done all sorts of bad things, and now she's getting her comeuppance. Her husband is dead, and she's a widow. This is the ex-daughter-in-law you thought had such good character. So, are you satisfied?"
"If I hadn't dumped her, it might not have been the unlucky Lu Zhengjun who died today, but your son!"
That last sentence was a devastating blow, sending a shiver down Zhang Cuihua's spine.
"The man with the crescent moon is dead?" Zhang Cuihua was shocked.
Liu Dekai nodded, indicating that the news was true.
“When we confronted her, her husband’s comrade-in-arms came over with a message, which we happened to overhear.”
Liu Dekai was aware that Zhao Yunshan and Lu Zhengjun had a good personal relationship.
"How could it be fake? We've already confirmed it with my dad, it can't be fake at all!" Mo Youyou said smugly, her smugness impossible to hide. "To put it bluntly, it's because Su Yueya has done too many bad things that even God couldn't stand it anymore, which is why she became a widow at such a young age. This is her retribution!"
"It's just a pity about Lu Zhengjun. He was the king of soldiers in our military region, right? His strength is definitely beyond question. He actually sacrificed himself on a mission. If you say he wasn't killed by Su Yueya, I'll be the first to disbelieve it!" Mo Youyou said this with her lips twitching.
