Chapter 702: 702. Acting out of spite

When Lu Moqing and his wife arrived at the island, Qiao Xu glanced at Gu Junhang without a sound, seeing that he appeared indifferent, as if he didn’t care about Xia Yumo at all. Qiao Xu’s emotions gradually became more complicated.

After thinking about it, she finally said to Gu Junhang, "Don’t blame Mo Mo for being ruthless. She didn’t really want to abort the child, but fate decreed otherwise, and she had no choice."

Thinking of the day when she left the ward and heard the suppressed sobbing inside, Qiao Xu couldn’t help but feel distressed for Xia Yumo.

She knew that Xia Yumo, although strong-willed, wasn’t necessarily capable of going through with the abortion despite her talk of doing so.

Reminded once again of the child Xia Yumo had lost, Gu Junhang’s hand holding the fishing rod unconsciously tightened, but his face remained expressionless.

He didn’t look at Qiao Xu but instead kept staring at the lake, watching the ripples caused by his trembling hand and chuckling at the irony.

"Destiny..."

He looked at the center of the water and murmured these two words, as if he found Qiao Xu’s remark somewhat amusing, and he laughed out loud.

"Do you all like to blame fate for the cruel things you’ve done?"

He held the fishing rod completely still. If it weren’t for him speaking, Gu Junhang at this moment would have looked more like a statue sitting in the middle of the water.

Qiao Xu furrowed her eyebrows, finding Gu Junhang’s words somewhat unreasonable.

After all, could they have really expected Mo Mo to risk her life, and the child’s, by carrying it to term, knowing that it could be fatal?

If Gu Junhang were really selfish enough to think that way, then it would be better for Mo Mo to part with him sooner rather than later.

But this thought was quickly dismissed by Qiao Xu.

Gu Junhang’s love for Mo Mo was obviously deep, so if he knew that Mo Mo was ill and had aborted the child out of necessity, he shouldn’t have this reaction.

With this in mind, she looked at Lu Moqing and said, "Didn’t you tell him why Mo Mo had to have an abortion?"

Seeing the blame in his wife’s eyes, Lu Moqing immediately sensed trouble.

"He said he didn’t want to know."

He quickly defended himself, afraid of the consequences, but still saw the bottom of his wife’s eyes narrowing dangerously.

"So you didn’t tell him?"

Lu Moqing touched the tip of his nose with a somewhat guilty expression.

But considering the ridiculous plastic brotherhood between him and Gu Junhang, he made the resolute decision to prioritize his own survival.

So he acted frivolously and put his arm around his wife’s waist, acting like a good boy, saying,

"Didn’t you say we wouldn’t interfere with their affairs?"

Qiao Xu was caught by Lu Moqing’s question, but immediately said, "Whether we interfere or not is one thing, but we can’t just let Mo Mo be misunderstood, can we? As if she’s done something unforgivable."

Obviously, Qiao Xu’s latter half of the sentence was intended for Gu Junhang’s ears.

Gu Junhang wasn’t stupid, but he could hear the oddities in the couple’s conversation.

He thought of the day in the tea house when Lu Moqing suddenly asked if he wanted to know why Xia Yumo had the abortion.

At the time, he was angry at Xia Yumo for aborting the child without saying a word, so he refused out of pride.

But now, it seemed that perhaps Xia Yumo really had a reason to abort the child, not just because she didn’t want a burden, as she had said on the airplane.
