Shu Yunrong's reddened eyes gradually became wet with tears, as he knew that growing up silently was not easy.

The loss of her loved one made her grow up overnight. To fulfill his wish, she did not hesitate to apply for the Armed Police and became an outstanding Armed Police officer.

For Yang Yufen, the kindness that Momo showed her was never reserved, and most of the time he was even more filial and attentive than her own two children.

But how could she possibly accept being suddenly told that her eldest daughter and her youngest daughter are in love?

At this moment, Shu Xiangjun suddenly stood up and, in a low voice, accused, "What kind of behavior is this? You can guard against anything, but it's hard to guard against a thief within your own family. Can two girls in a relationship be as reliable as a man? Even though you're not short of money, there won't be cheating, domestic violence, or mother-in-law/daughter-in-law conflicts, can you even have a child? Even if you can conceive through medical means now, who will give birth? You're a celebrity; what if your pregnancy is exposed? You'll have to give birth quietly with a marriage certificate, right? Most importantly, who will raise the child? Will your parents help? Will it take the Shu surname…?"

"Besides, have you considered your parents' feelings? Even though Momo was brought home by Dad, she shouldn't have devoted all her attention to you. The things she did for you were voluntary; no one forced her. She deserved to be beaten to a pulp or even killed. If you want to survive in the entertainment industry, these are inevitable costs. Furthermore, Mom was hoping that you and Momo would find a good husband, but now you've done something so scandalous and disgraceful. Where does that leave their reputation? Do they want outsiders to think that there are two old maids in the family? No wonder you haven't spoken to each other for years; that's the key point... Break up, you must break up. How can you not break up? Momo listens to your parents the most, so she'll definitely agree. From now on, you can continue to do what you want in the entertainment industry, and Momo can stay in the branch office. Anyway, it's better than being humiliated."

His eloquent speech completely baffled Yang Yufen.

It was as if she had expressed her innermost thoughts. As a retired teacher, she had always adhered to the principles of self-discipline and respect for ethics and morality, even though she had heard about and seen these things.

But when it actually happens to your own child, you realize how difficult it is.

As for Shu Yunrong and Shu Xiangyu, they clearly understood that he was indirectly defending them.

"You knew all along, didn't you...?"

The cold, hard questioning made Shu Xiangjun, who had been somewhat nonchalant just moments before, become serious.

He stared at the door of the intensive care unit, then at his heartbroken sister, and said in a deep voice, "Momo has never asked us for anything. She just likes someone, and she's not related to my sister by blood, nor is she registered at home. She truly loves my sister, so why shouldn't I support them... Dad, you feel sorry for her deceased relatives, but only my sister can make Momo truly happy. She's currently hovering between life and death. Just like my sister said, are so-called face and worldly views really more important than them?"

Shu Yunrong and Yang Yufen fell silent. They knew very well that Xiao Yu was telling them the truth at this time because she wanted to face Momo without any reservations.

The two children shared a deep bond, which they could not possibly misunderstand; yet, familial love can sometimes transform into romantic love…

"We'll talk about these things once Momo's condition stabilizes and she wakes up. For now, let's find a hotel to rest."

Shu Yunrong didn't want to say anything more to them and prepared to leave with a stern face.

Shu Xiangyu's eyes were filled with worry, unable to hide his pain: "Dad, Mom, I'm sorry, Momo and I just didn't want to have any more regrets. Life is too fleeting, we just want to cherish the people in front of us..."

"Let's talk about it when she's better."

They then left the hospital and found a nice hotel nearby to stay in.

Little did anyone know that Shu Xiangyu suddenly left the film festival that night, and many reporters took pictures of her unusual behavior, which has now sparked a lot of discussion online.

Everyone was guessing that something bad must have happened to her.

Curled up on the bed in the hotel room, Shu Xiangyu felt as if all her strength had been drained. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her heart felt as if it had been pierced by countless sharp thorns, aching beyond measure.

"Wood, how can I help you? What should I do..."

Unable to bear all the panic and fear any longer, she broke down in tears.

How deeply must that silly blockhead be hurt, how much pain must he be in…?

She wished it was all just a dream, and that when she woke up, Momo would still be safe and sound by her side.

While crying, Shu Xiangyu opened Weibo and posted a short message: If love can overcome all difficulties, then I will give all my love to you alone.

This major announcement, released early this morning, essentially confirmed all the speculations from last night.

She rarely posts anything sentimental, but since denying the rumors of an affair with Liu Luoqing, her statements have been particularly intriguing.

Everyone wants to know who her ideal man is, that he can make her, who usually prefers to keep a low profile, so high-profile every time.

Drowsiness and exhaustion gradually washed over him like a tsunami, and Shu Xiangyu closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

After washing up, Yang Yufen sat on the edge of the bed, still feeling very heavy-hearted.

Now she has to accept that Mo Mo has been seriously injured, and also that she and Xiao Yu are in love. She always feels like there is a big stone pressing on her chest, and she is extremely irritable.

Shu Yunrong sat down next to her, letting out a long sigh; he was clearly also in pain.

"Yunrong, what should we do?"

Do you want to lose them?

Yang Yufen immediately replied, "Of course I don't want to, they are all good girls... it's just that I really can't understand matters of the heart."

Shu Yunrong put his arm around her shoulder: "I knew about their situation when the earthquake struck Luding. I've also thought about how Momo and Xiaoyu interacted after I adopted her. You probably know better than me the details of their daily interactions. Momo is very dependent on Xiaoyu. I've wondered if she only sees Xiaoyu as a source of emotional support, not love. But when I asked her why she chose the most difficult path, she said that Xiaoyu is not only someone she likes, but also someone who brings light and warmth to her dark life..."

So you support them?

Yang Yufen glanced at her husband, her heart filled with worry.

“At first, I definitely disagreed, and I couldn’t explain it to her deceased relatives. Later, I quietly came back to visit Xiaotian, and she said she would separate from Xiaoyu and told me not to worry…”

Recalling her guilty expression at that time, Shu Yunrong could not hide her sadness.

"She did it; she completely lost contact with Xiaoyu."

"No wonder..."

All the signs in the past, in retrospect, actually had clues all along, but they never thought it would be for this reason.

"Now that things have come to this, all we can do is accept it calmly. Time has already tested their relationship. Now that they face life and death, it's pointless for us to dwell on trivial matters. If something really happens to Momo, we might also lose Xiaoyu..."

Shu Yunrong sighed. He had struggled with the decision for a long time, but seeing the two children becoming increasingly unhappy and even turning into strangers, he softened his heart.

Yang Yufen remained silent, unsure of what to say. Her mind was a jumbled mess, and it felt like the whole world had been turned upside down.
