What Else Can You Do Besides Shifting Blame

Shocking! Numbing! Unbelievable!

Teng Ao stared blankly at the woman who once meant everything to him.

At this moment, she was crying, her expression filled with utter disappointment.

Even his own flesh and blood was sobbing heartbreakingly while kicking at him.

Teng Ao's mind went blank; he couldn't understand what he had done wrong. "Why... why..."

He stammered: "Wenyu, why are you defending that spoiled Su Muwan..."

Before he could finish.

"Shut up!"

Slap!!

Tang Wenyu lost control and struck him across the face again!

"Ugh—!!"

The War God's head jerked to the side, his cheek burning with pain.

Both his cheeks were now symmetrically swollen.

His pupils trembled.

I... got slapped again?

Teng Ao's mind was roaring; he really couldn't comprehend the current situation.

Had Su Muwan bewitched Wenyu? Why was she helping her strike him twice?

Holding his face, he turned his head and looked incredulously at the crying Tang Wenyu, asking bitterly: "Wenyu, why..."

Before he could finish.

Slap!

"Argh—!"

Tang Wenyu struck again!!

This time, she couldn't hold back anymore.

Tang Wenyu looked at the obstinate and disrespectful Teng Ao, choking out: "Teng Ao, you've disappointed me and Doudou so much!!"

"These ten years!! These whole ten years! Do you know how Doudou and I lived?!"

"You don't know! Because you never once looked for us, mother and daughter!"

"I was expelled from the Tang Family! I wandered through strange cities while carrying your child!"

"Did you know any of this?!"

Teng Ao's heart clenched upon hearing this, his expression froze, and he stammered: "Wenyu.. I.. I..."

"You don't know!"

"And you'll never know! Because you're the War God! You're the War God of the War God Temple!"

"And I, Tang Wenyu, am just a worthless servant who got pregnant before marriage and was expelled from the family!"

How could Tang Wenyu not feel bitter? How could she not resent? How could she not suffer?

Of course, she had cried, resented, and suffered.

But when she heard news of Teng Ao again, she still felt incredibly happy and excited.

She hated this Teng Ao who had abandoned them for ten years.

She also hated herself for being so weak.

But...

She could accept any criticism of herself, but...

He had no right to speak ill of Young Lady Su!

She choked out: "Teng Ao!"

"If Miss Su hadn't saved us, mother and daughter would still be barely surviving in that tiny shop."

"Now, thanks to Miss Su's kindness, we have jobs and a place to live."

"But you! Teng Ao, what have you done?"

"You... you're worse than an animal!!"

On the side.

Su Muwan blinked.

Her eyes widened slightly, her small mouth slightly open.

Wow!!

So this is what a major family drama looks like in person!!

Oh my!!

Hehehe!! This is too entertaining!

*Rustle*

Qin Luo pulled out a bag of chips from his system space and placed it beside Su Muwan.

He opened the package and chuckled softly: "Young Miss, have some chips, this looks like it's going to be a long show."

"Mm!"

Su Muwan was delighted - War God, you totally deserve this!!

Hm? Qin Luo, where did you get those chips from again?

On Teng Ao's side, his expression grew heavy and pained as he listened.

Yes, everything Wenyu said was right.

But he had his reasons back then.

If it weren't for that great battle that left him severely injured, with his position as War God precarious and everyone eyeing his position covetously.

He would have... come looking for Tang Wenyu long ago.

But precisely because he knew that he was too weak from his severe injuries at the time, if others had discovered Tang Wenyu's whereabouts.

Perhaps... Wenyu would have met with disaster!

And now everything was exactly as he had feared.

Watching Tang Wenyu defend Su Muwan at every turn, his heart filled with sorrow.

Wenyu... why do you defend this poisonous woman so?

He held his face and said bitterly: "Wenyu, I had my reasons."

At these words.

"Reasons?!"

Slap!

"Argh—!"

Another palm struck.

This slap was incredibly powerful, seeming to nearly shatter his entire body.

*Thud*

Teng Ao steadied himself against the wall, holding his face and turning his head in disbelief.

Only to see.

Qin Luo had walked to Tang Wenyu's side with a grim expression, then mockingly said:

"Teng Ao, you had your reasons, so you could let a pregnant woman wander homeless for ten whole years."

"You had your reasons, so you could let Sister Wenyu raise Doudou alone."

"You had your reasons, so you didn't need to search for any news about your wife and daughter in these ten years?"

"You had your reasons, so you could still contact your war buddy's daughter Ding Tongtong monthly and send her living expenses?"

"You had your reasons... so you could completely abandon your wife and daughter for ten years?"

"Teng Ao, in these ten years, Sister Wenyu was bullied, looked down upon, expelled from the Tang Family, mocked for getting pregnant before marriage and being abandoned by her husband - all these sufferings and pressures."

"Can they be dismissed with your single excuse of 'having reasons'?"

"Teng Ao, Sister Wenyu is right, you're worse than an animal!"

"Even my Young Miss's pet Pochi knows to wag its tail and provide emotional value when fed two pieces of steak."

"But you, the first thing you do is try to shirk responsibility."

"Someone like you... is truly worse than an animal!"

!!!

Qin Luo's words pierced Teng Ao's heart and mind like needles.

His entire world seemed to freeze in an instant.

Compared to the physical pain, Teng Ao found the pain in his heart far more intense and unbearable.

His mind was in chaos, buzzing as if all sound had been suddenly stripped away.

His pupils contracted violently, emotions of shock, pain, confusion, anxiety, and guilt intertwined in his heart.

An overwhelming sense of oppression filled Teng Ao's chest.

His breathing quickened slightly, his heart beating rapidly.

"I... I..."

Teng Ao stared blankly at the tearful Tang Wenyu and his daughter who was looking at him with equally angry eyes.

"I.."

Teng Ao's lips were cracked, he couldn't speak.

Qin Luo's words had made him aware of all Tang Wenyu's experiences over these years.

But...

"But... but Su Muwan is a poisonous woman who wanted to..."

Before he could finish.

Slap!!

"Shut up!! Teng Ao!! Haven't you had enough!! You have no right to speak disrespectfully about Miss Su!!"

Tang Wenyu lost control and slapped him again.

The War God's head tilted to the side, his expression blank.

The next second.

Slap!!

Qin Luo also stepped forward with a slap, snapping the War God's head in the opposite direction.

He berated: "Teng Ao! You really are worthless!"

"You're still so obstinate even now!"

"My Young Miss has a pure and kind nature! That's why she took in Sister Wenyu and her daughter!"

"But what about you? What have you done besides moving your lips up and down??"

"Nothing! Teng Ao, you've disappointed us too much!"

Slap!!

"Ugh—!"

Tang Wenyu struck again, the War God's head snapping in another direction.

She sobbed as she scolded: "That's right! Mr. Qin is correct! Teng Ao! You had time to chat with Ding Tongtong and send her living expenses! But you never once thought about your wife and daughter freezing in the cold!!"

Slap!!

*Thud!!*

Qin Luo backhandedly struck again, sending the War God crashing to the ground.

Then, Qin Luo coldly said: "Teng Ao, back then when your wife and daughter were targeted by villains, if my Young Miss hadn't stationed people to secretly keep watch and prevent accidents."

"Perhaps... you wouldn't even know if they had been sold off!"

"And now, you still have the nerve to speak disrespectfully to my Young Miss?"
