"It may feel good to have a good tongue for a moment, but have you thought about how you'll handle it afterwards? What if you couldn't hold back today and were really seduced by Su Yueya, saying things you shouldn't have? What if she uses this to make a fuss?"
“Su Yueya’s mother is Commander Liu, her eldest brother is a regimental commander, and her second brother is no ordinary person either. She herself is a martyr’s widow. Under such circumstances, if you anger her, she will go to the leaders crying and demanding an explanation, saying that you spoke rudely to her and ridiculed her. Do you think this is a small matter?”
"Insulting a martyr's widow is no small crime. If she keeps making trouble and insists on being punished by the leaders, even your father will have to go through a lot to protect you. Aren't you just giving her a chance to get back at you?"
It sounds a bit alarmist, but upon closer inspection, that's exactly what happened, and judging from Su Yueya's attitude today, it seems she intends to do just that.
Liu Dekai's analysis is absolutely correct.
Mo Youyou's initiative to pick a fight with Su Yueya was not a wise move. She could easily be outmaneuvered and end up losing more than she gained.
“Youyou, I’m not feeling sorry for her or pitying her at all. I just think we’re living a good life now, and there’s no need to do anything that would be detrimental to us. Do you think I want to see you?” Liu Dekai appealed to her emotions and reasoned with her.
"I said this for your sake, and it has absolutely nothing to do with how Su Yueya is treated!" Liu Dekai emphasized again to clarify.
Mo Youyou wasn't stupid; she naturally knew whether what she said was right or wrong.
Even knowing these were true, she still felt a little uncomfortable. She hadn't provoked Su Yueya, but she had almost fallen into the trap herself. How could she feel at ease?
"Hmph!" Mo Youyou snorted coldly, but stopped shouting.
Seeing her reaction, Liu Dekai knew she had figured it out, so he put his arm around her shoulder and added a few more sweet words.
“Youyou, we’re family. Whatever I do or think, it’s all for the good of our little family, for you and our son. Right now, all I want to do is train. I don’t want to think about anything else. You mustn’t misunderstand me, okay?” Liu Dekai showed his vulnerability appropriately.
This is exactly the kind of thing Mo Youyou falls for.
It has to be said that if Liu Dekai had put his mind to it, he could have easily manipulated Mo Youyou.
"Alright, alright, alright." Mo Youyou's tone seemed full of disdain, but her attitude had softened.
The two continued walking home.
"Yes, when I was waiting for you at the training ground, I noticed that Qiao Shouyan seemed to be very close to a female soldier. The two of them were whispering to each other for a while. I don't think that female soldier is Qiao Shouyan's wife. Isn't his wife from the weapons research group?" Mo Youyou said casually.
"Qiao Shouyan? A female soldier?" Liu Dekai pondered.
He's been spending a lot of time at the training field lately. There are a lot of people there, and when everyone is focused on training, they don't pay attention to what others are doing. But there are always breaks during training, and during breaks, people either chat or look around.
Over time, Liu Dekai did notice one of the female soldiers, and he seemed to have some recollection of her.
"Yes, it seems there is such a person."
Mo Youyou immediately became interested.
"You saw it too? Do you know what's going on between them? I was initially suspicious that something was going on between them, but I felt it was impossible for them to be so blatant..." Mo Youyou analyzed, expressing her thoughts from earlier.
"It shouldn't be," Liu Dekai said with more certainty.
"Are you sure? You know that female soldier?" Mo Youyou asked again, her eyes now showing a hint of wariness.
"I'm not entirely sure, but they were just chatting and didn't do anything out of line, so they don't seem to have any relationship... Also, that female soldier is one of the more prominent ones lately, she's quite capable, she also participated in this mission, and she was promoted to deputy battalion commander not long after joining the army..."
Liu Dekai had overheard the other soldiers discussing it and had a vague recollection of it.
"Is that so?" Mo Youyou didn't take it to heart after hearing it, and instead felt that the female soldier would not pose a threat to her.
If these two were having an affair, she might pay more attention to them, hoping to find something to do to disgust Su Yueya. But since they have nothing to do with each other... she has absolutely no interest in them!
Back home, Mo Youyou went to tease Liu Shengrui.
"Come here, Xiao Rui, let Mommy give you a hug." She picked up her son in one go. She could clearly feel that her son had grown a lot and was much heavier than before. Mo Youyou looked him over and said, "Has our Xiao Rui grown a little taller again?"
"Let's play." Liu Shengrui held a toy in his hand, wanting to interact with Mo Youyou.
Playing with toys with her son is not a very mentally taxing activity, and it also allows her to spend more time with him, which Mo Youyou is very willing to do.
Of course, this is also Teacher Mao's requirement: adults must have enough time to spend with their children.
Seeing Liu Shengrui getting better and better, the Liu family did their best to cooperate with her various requests, hoping to see a completely transformed Liu Shengrui.
"Okay, okay, Mommy will play with Xiao Rui."
While playing with her toys, Mo Youyou was thinking about Liu Dekai.
It's clear that Liu Dekai is determined to succeed in this mission. With diligent training, he should be able to complete it smoothly. Once he's done well, we can try to get his father to assign him some other tasks.
If Liu Dekai performs well enough, with all his merits, big and small, he might be promoted to regimental commander next year or the year after!
That's right, it's the regimental commander.
Perhaps Mo Youyou herself did not realize that her ultimate fantasy about Liu Dekai's career was to become the leader of the regiment.
But are there no higher positions above the regimental commander?
Obviously not.
More than her man's success and the pride it brings her, Mo Youyou actually cares more about being better than Su Yueya, and this includes her man being better than Su Yueya's man.
In the past, Mo Youyou might not have dared to think about it, after all, almost everyone knew how outstanding Lu Zhengjun was, and she herself had secretly fallen for him.
But now Lu Zhengjun is dead!
He died, and everything for him came to an end. No matter how powerful he was, he was only a regimental commander at the end of his career. For the living, he became an attainable goal.
Once Liu Dekai becomes the regimental commander, Su Yueya will be completely reduced to mud beneath his feet.
Just thinking about that scene made Mo Youyou incredibly excited; her blood was surging, and she couldn't wait to see that day!
