"Hahaha... I was too naive. I thought he had changed for the better. I thought that education could really fight against genes. In the end, it turns out that it was all just a joke. Su Yueya is right. Education is not that powerful. Genes determine everything. Liu Shengrui is a cold-blooded, violent demon who will destroy everything sooner or later!"
That felt so good! It felt so good to shout all those words out!
At that moment, Liu Dekai felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration; he simply wanted to speak his mind.
"Smack—"
Zhang Cuihua trembled with anger. It was the first time she had ever laid a hand on her son. She slapped Liu Dekai, her eyes red and her face contorted with pain as she looked at him.
"You're crazy! You're crazy! What are you saying?!" Zhang Cuihua couldn't believe it.
One word after another, "super hero" and "devil" at the same time.
It's outrageous that they don't trust their own son and actually believe the crazy talk of that bitch Su Yueya.
Although Liu Dekai was slapped, he felt no anger or discomfort. He continued to smile, a hearty and unrestrained laugh. It felt so good to have his thoughts out; every pore of his body seemed to be screaming with joy!
"Hahaha……"
Mo Youyou hadn't said anything until Su Yueya's name was mentioned, and then her husband mentioned Chaoxiong's name again. She finally couldn't sit still any longer.
“Dekai, Xiao Rui is not Chao Xiong, he absolutely is not! He is not a demon either. It is you who suffered too much because of this incident, you are bewitched—” Mo Youyou retorted.
"I'm bewitched? Hahaha!" Liu Dekai couldn't stop laughing.
His seemingly insane appearance frightened and unsettled Zhang Cuihua and Mo Youyou.
“Yes, Xiao Rui is just a child. He’s just a little naughty.” Mo Youyou was still trying to defend Liu Shengrui.
Liu Dekai simply couldn't listen anymore.
Who exactly is bewitched?
Who is really deceiving themselves?
It's ridiculous, it's absurd.
Zhang Cuihua and Mo Youyou could pretend to be deaf and dumb, but why did he have to do the same and pretend to be blind to the facts? He couldn't do it. He could cooperate with the performance in the past, but now he had accepted reality and had no intention of acting anymore.
“Naughty, is that it? There are plenty of naughty kids in the compound. Go out and ask around, which naughty kid would abuse small animals, huh?” Liu Dekai retorted.
That one sentence left Zhang Cuihua and Mo Youyou speechless.
Yes, Liu Shengrui's behavior was not just accidentally bullying a small animal; it was enough to constitute abuse, and it was intentional abuse.
"Who's really bewitched? It's you! You insist on deceiving yourselves, afraid to face reality, unwilling to admit the truth, but do you think this is how you solve the problem by running away? Naïve! Wishful thinking!" Liu Dekai said.
His feelings were extremely complicated, because he knew very well that even if he knew and admitted the truth, what could he do?
Can anything be changed?
Perhaps from the moment they failed to prevent Liu Shengrui from being born, his future, the future of the Liu family, and the future of the Mo family seemed to have already been predetermined.
Now, he can only watch helplessly as the predetermined outcome unfolds; there's nothing he can do to change it...
Mao Dongjian's appearance once gave him hope, but reality dealt him a fatal blow, telling him that all his futile struggles were nothing but a joke.
The power of genes far exceeds human imagination.
"Liu Dekai, that's enough!" Mo Youyou could no longer bear it. She would never admit that her son was Chaoxiong. Her originally complicated feelings gradually went out of control because her husband kept mentioning Su Yueya's name. "All you do is talk about is Su Yueya, Su Yueya said, she's so right. Why don't you go live with her? Are you regretting it now?"
Liu Dekai: "..."
The whole discussion was about Liu Shengrui, so how did it get involved with Su Yueya, and how did it turn into him being unable to forget Su Yueya?
That's utter nonsense!
"Mo Youyou, Su Yueya is a doctor. She was the first and only person to remind me about Chaoxiong. I regret not listening to her advice back then. Can you stick to the facts and stop saying such nonsensical things!" Liu Dekai said coldly.
Although he would never admit that he had ever wavered in his thoughts or felt regret, he had never betrayed Mo Youyou in his actions, so he was very self-righteous.
"How am I being unreasonable? You don't trust your own son, but you'd rather believe that shameless Su Yueya. What am I supposed to think?" Mo Youyou retorted, looking hysterical.
"What is there for me to believe in a son who abuses dogs and beats his own father?" Liu Dekai said coldly, feeling disgusted just saying those words.
"I've already said that Xiao Rui is young and doesn't know any better. Is it really that unforgivable for him to make a mistake? Are you going to cut all ties with your son? Do you even want this family anymore?!" Mo Youyou glared at Liu Dekai, unable to believe that the man she had chosen could be so cold-blooded and ruthless.
"I just can't reason with you..." Liu Dekai kept shaking his head, feeling utterly exhausted.
At first, he felt relieved and cathartic by saying everything, but in the end, he realized that his truth was meaningless when facing Mo Youyou.
Because Mo Youyou couldn't listen at all, and couldn't even grasp the key points he wanted to express. She kept going around in circles, saying meaningless, unsolvable, and repetitive things.
He was exhausted, and he also had to deal with Mo Youyou's unreasonable and disruptive behavior. How could a wounded man like him endure it?
"Then who can you talk to? Su Yueya? I think you two can get along. Why don't you two get together? Why don't you just have her have another one for you? Anyway, you don't like Xiao Rui!" Mo Youyou shouted, smashing everything she could get her hands on in her anger.
The house was filled with a loud crackling and popping noise, as loud as setting off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year.
"Youyou, don't say such hurtful things, don't smash things!" Zhang Cuihua quickly stopped them, trying to persuade both sides, "Dekai, quickly apologize to Youyou, this is indeed your fault, you can't treat Xiaorui like this, apologize!"
Liu Shengrui, who was at the center of the conversation, had nothing to do with the current situation. He stared with wide, curious eyes, looking at this and that, finding it all very interesting.
He couldn't help but clap when he saw the adults arguing so heatedly, especially when his mother was smashing things.
Keep arguing! Keep going! It's so much fun!
Most children, when they see adults arguing, will either be afraid or run away, but Liu Shengrui is different; he only feels excited.
"I apologize?" Liu Dekai was utterly shocked by the absurdity, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Is this something that can be resolved by who apologizes?!"
