Ji's mother felt that her heart condition was about to stop from frightening Ji Yao, and she subconsciously screamed.
Mo Xiaoqing took a deep breath and made a gesture to stop her from moving, slowly calming her emotions.
"Yaoyao, I told you not to move, we're not going over there."
Tears streamed down Ji Yao's face, and her frail, tear-streaked appearance was a stark contrast to her usual shrewd and capable self, which only added to her extraordinary beauty.
It's heartbreaking to see; you'd be afraid to raise your voice even slightly for fear of upsetting her...
Mo Xiaoqing turned her head and whispered to him, "Ji Ling, take good care of your aunt."
Ji Ling was so startled by his sister's sudden action that his heart almost stopped. When he heard Mo Xiaoqing's words, he was stunned for a moment before belatedly responding.
"…good."
The family is in such a mess. My father and sister have both had accidents. He is the only man in the family, and he has a responsibility to take care of my mother. He absolutely cannot let them fall into danger.
So he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, suppressed all his emotions, and pulled his mother back to prevent her from rushing over and causing his sister's emotions to fluctuate even more.
"Yaoyao, listen to me. Put the knife down first. Maybe your brother isn't hurt yet. The search and rescue team is still looking. Do you want to die? Your brother is such a capable person. If something really happened to him, we would have found him or his body long ago. But the fact that we haven't found him yet is also good news."
Mo Xiaoqing tried to talk to her calmly, hoping that her emotions would not become so extreme and agitated.
"No, you're lying to me. Yan Yan suffered such a severe knife wound, how could he be alright? Besides, he fell into the sea, and after being soaked in seawater..."
The more she thought about it, the less she dared to think about it. She was filled with fear, and even the hand holding the knife was trembling uncontrollably.
"He got into this mess because of me. If it weren't for me, it's because I'm useless. If I hadn't been caught by them, he wouldn't have been so passive, threatened, and even stabbed himself five or six times, much less..."
Ji Yao couldn't continue speaking; tears streamed down her face as soon as she spoke.
Even Mo Xiaoqing couldn't help but burst into tears when she heard these words. She could imagine how much pressure Yao Yao was under at that time.
But it is precisely because we understand that we hope to properly relieve the pressure in Yao Yao's heart!
“If I hadn’t argued with him back then, perhaps those people wouldn’t have had the opportunity to take me away, and he wouldn’t have surrendered so easily and gone with them!”
"Later, because of me, he didn't resist at all, letting those people beat him. He even stabbed himself in the chest five times, without even flinching once..."
"Do you know? Every time he stabbed me, I felt excruciating pain in my chest. Those people kept using me to threaten him, and the bright red blood kept flowing right in front of me, unstoppable. The sound of the knife plunging into my body was so clear..."
The memory lingered in her ears, refusing to fade even in her dreams. She felt it was like a nightmare, a vicious cycle that would repeat itself endlessly.
Those voices seemed to be rebuking her for her past "coercion" of Mo Yanyu. He was such a good person, yet he was killed because of her willful and reckless behavior.
Meanwhile, Ji's mother was already in tears, and even Ji Ling couldn't help but have tears welling up in his eyes.
Thinking back to how he had previously blamed his brother-in-law for being heartless and telling him to stay away from his sister, he felt like slapping himself.
How many upright men like my brother-in-law can you find these days? He was willing to be threatened and do things that would harm himself so that his sister wouldn't get hurt!
He should have realized long ago that someone like his brother-in-law could never be the kind of scumbag who would hurt his sister. He was a defender of his country and his family, so he couldn't possibly be the kind of scumbag who would abandon his sister and refuse to take responsibility!
Mo Xiaoqing closed her eyes, enduring the suffocating pain in her heart, and even bit her lower lip hard to make herself more clear-headed and not let Yao Yao's emotions control her!
because…
The first person to mention the incident was her brother, so it was impossible for her to remain completely indifferent.
Every word Yao Yao spoke, every sentence she uttered, every recount of the situation was like a silent stab in her heart, tearing open her wounds and leaving them bleeding. All she could do was grit her teeth and endure it.
After suppressing the surging emotions in her heart, Mo Xiaoqing opened her eyes and gently comforted her.
"Yaoyao, you have to believe me, and you can only believe me. He's my brother, my own brother. How could I not be heartbroken when something like this has happened to him?"
"My pain is no less than yours, but no matter how painful it is, we must live on strongly, because life goes on, and we cannot stop!"
"Yaoyao, I did this because you deserve it! I hope you won't let my sacrifice be in vain!"
Ji Yao looked at Mo Xiaoqing with teary eyes, and Mo Xiaoqing felt a pang of sadness in her heart at the sight of her gaze.
"It's my fault, it's all my fault... I'm sorry to him! It's all my fault!"
Mo Xiaoqing felt heartbroken. "Yaoyao, you must believe that your brother is a former special forces soldier. He was able to stand out even under such severe and difficult conditions, which proves how outstanding he is! So, God will surely favor your brother!"
