Chapter 187: Chapter 130 Another Possibility_3

“Could there be any falsehood in this?”

Su Mo fell silent for a moment before speaking, “Actually, there is another possibility in my heart, but this possibility is baseless. Telling you about it is just a way to relieve some of the anxiety in my heart.”

“Oh?”

Yang Xiaoyun looked towards Su Mo, “Xiao Mo, you have always been full of wisdom and strategies, but could there really be something that I haven’t thought of?”

“Ah… Your temperament is exactly like Uncle Yang’s; once you are set on something, not even nine bulls could pull you back.

“Actually, if you think about it carefully, what was the real reason behind the huge conflict between you and Uncle Yang that day?”

“Of course, it was because he betrayed his word and went against the past agreement, not to mention he even condoned Wu Chengfeng’s relentless pestering of me! How could I not be furious about this matter?”

“Yes.”

Su Mo nodded, “You are as fiery in spirit as ever, keeping a clear sense of right and wrong in your heart. Others may not know where your bottom line is, but… has Uncle Yang, who has raised you, not understood you?”

“I, too, have thought about this point.”

Yang Xiaoyun said, “However, he ultimately indulged Wu Chengfeng first, and formed an alliance with Wu Daoyou first. Once the action was taken, the rest is merely a matter of speaking out or not. That day, he was just laying his cards on the table with me.”

“Have you ever considered why Uncle Yang kept quiet about this matter before?”

Su Mo said, “Yet afterward, he suddenly revealed everything to you?”

“Obviously, it was because I kept going to Ziyang Escort Agency, and he finally couldn’t tolerate it anymore, realizing that his beautiful dream of becoming in-laws with Wu Daoyou couldn’t continue. That’s probably why he acted so recklessly…”

By the end of her statement, Yang Xiaoyun herself was no longer certain.

Previously, she was overwhelmed by anger, only thinking about how excessive Yang Yizhi was. Now after so much time has passed and once it was brought up again, she had become somewhat calmer. After a bit of thought, her eyebrows knitted together again:

“This… something doesn’t seem right.”

“Indeed.”

Su Mo nodded and said, “Wu Chengfeng had already made his stance clear long ago, that he would stay away from wherever you and I are. Uncle Yang shares your fiery temperament; he surely would have known this long ago.

“Perhaps he even knew about Wu Chengfeng’s proposition before it reached you.

“Why wait until now to act recklessly?

“Yet despite this, he still allowed you to travel with me to deliver the escort.

“Why did he suddenly fly into such a rage after I made a bit of a name for myself in Xuanji Valley?”

“This…”

Yang Xiaoyun’s eyebrows tightened, “But in the end, he did do those things.”

“Again, the saying goes, ’no one knows a daughter better than her father.’”

Su Mo shook his head, “Uncle Yang knows your character very well; even if he tacitly allowed Wu Chengfeng to pester you, did you really allow it to happen? Do you remember what we discussed back then about their intentions?”

“They pretended to repair the plank road while secretly crossing through Chen Cang!”

Yang Xiaoyun’s mouth twitched, “Could it really be like that?”

“This is actually the most reasonable explanation.”

Su Mo said, “If I put myself in his shoes, and saw that a future son-in-law is nothing but a lump of useless mud, what should be done? Regardless of whether divorce is considered, one must think about his daughter’s future, right? Even though you have firmly decided to stick with this lump of mud, if there’s the support of the Luofeng Alliance behind us, our lives won’t be too hard in the end.

“After I made a bit of a name in Xuanji Valley, Uncle Yang suddenly took such actions, leading to your departure from Iron Blood Escort Agency and joining me…

“It seems as if he kicked you out of Iron Blood Escort Agency, but in reality, he pulled you out from the internal strife of Luofeng Alliance, allowing you to stand on your own.

“After that, he had no more concerns, and that’s when he planned this trip to Dongcheng.

“Doesn’t it seem more reasonable when you look at it this way?”

“This… could it really be so?”

Yang Xiaoyun looked at Su Mo, hope glimmering in her eyes.

Su Mo just smiled, “As to what the truth is, why not wait for Uncle Yang to return from Dongcheng and ask him personally, Sister Xiao Yun? You and your father share a deep connection, having supported each other for so many years. If you ask him directly, Uncle Yang surely has no reason to hide anything from you.”

“Okay.”

Yang Xiaoyun nodded, “If it’s really like this, I’ll ask him myself.”

While speaking, her expression became quite uplifted.

She did not blame Su Mo for having had these thoughts without sharing them with her sooner.

For one thing, it was all unfounded speculation.

Additionally, at that time, she was so consumed by rage that she wouldn’t have listened to anything anyway.

But bringing it up now turned out to be just the right timing.

Therefore, not only did she not blame him, but she also felt that Su Mo had considered everything very carefully, always thinking of her, which she found very comforting.

“Mhm.”

Su Mo thought for a moment and then said, “However, if you really want to know the truth, it’s better not to march in openly, but to sneak into Iron Blood Escort Agency at night instead.”

Yang Xiaoyun was stunned, just about to say, I have to sneak around to go home?

But then she realized – if Yang Yizhi really wanted to keep them out of the Phoenix Alliance’s conflict, going back openly might prevent her from getting any answers at all and could cause another conflict.

Immediately, she sighed, “Xiao Mo, your thoughts are far more intricate than mine.”

“Can’t help it, you’re straightforward, I have to be more delicate, this is what they call complementing each other.”

Su Mo smiled.

Yang Xiaoyun’s lips curled slightly, her eyes carrying a hint of sweetness as she released a gentle sigh before shaking her head:

“Father is perhaps putting too much emphasis on Luofeng Alliance. Even though it is indeed extraordinary, I still believe that your future achievements, Xiao Mo, will be boundless.”

“Why do you always have such confidence in me?”

Su Mo was somewhat curious; Yang Xiaoyun’s faith in him seemed to be forever stronger than his own.

“I actually didn’t have this confidence in the past, but the longer I’m with you, the more I affirm this belief.”

Yang Xiaoyun looked at Su Mo, “I believe in you even more than I believe in myself.”

This wasn’t really a sweet nothing, but hearing it warmed the heart.

Yang Xiaoyun also came back to her senses, unconsciously lowering her head, then picked up the chopsticks to grab a chicken leg for Su Mo, “Eat, let’s eat.”

“I’m already full.”

“You haven’t eaten yet.”

“Have you never heard of the saying, ’beauty is a feast for the eyes’?”

“…if you keep this up, I’m not talking to you anymore.”

In that instant, the valiant and heroic Yang Xiaoyun was concealed again, and the girl in front of him, with a coy smile, was irresistibly charming.
