Chapter 59: Clarification

Having such a willful celebrity really gives people a headache.

However, due to Yu Mozhi’s recent statement, many people online—those who had sensed something was off but had stayed silent due to the overwhelming public outcry—began to speak up.

“I always felt something wasn’t right. I even wondered if this was just a regional difference in perspectives, so I didn’t dare to say anything. Turns out it was fake?”

“So it was clearly a scam to get money, huh? Claiming to be the child’s mother? But why did Yu Mozhi take so long to clarify? Why now? Seems suspicious.”

“Suspicious? Really? They were even cursing the child! If you saw that and didn’t say anything, how would you feel? Some people really lack judgment, or maybe they’re just nasty at heart. It’s just a little kid—looks like only three or four years old—yet people were hurling insults. Must be miserable in their own lives.”

“Do you have proof that their report is fake? You’re just a child thief trying to defend yourself! And now you’re insulting the public by calling them idiots? The public is your bread and butter!”

The commotion didn’t last long—soon, an official statement was released.

Those who had been insulting others were publicly shamed, especially the ones who insisted that Yu Mozhi was lying.

“Go see for yourself—his account got banned. The official report says the person spreading rumors and stirring up trouble has already been arrested.”

“Hahaha, guess who’s the real fool now? Acting like you’re the voice of the people—how ridiculous.”

“Go on, take a look yourself. Bread and butter? How much money have you actually spent? Maybe try getting your brain checked first?”

“I read the police report and nearly died laughing. That so-called mother of the child? Was a man! He owed gambling debts and came up with this disgusting plan. Some of you were this close to donating to him! Thankfully, the police caught him with the evidence before the fundraising even began. And now? Nobody’s making a sound? Earlier, Yu Mozhi didn’t even bother responding to you—probably because he didn’t care at all. But when you started making up lies about the kid, when you crossed that line, suddenly no one’s apologizing now?”

“And from another police official account—it turns out the child isn’t even Yu Mozhi’s biological daughter. She’s his older brother’s child. His brother passed away earlier this year, so the kid was left to Yu Mozhi, who is now her primary guardian. Before that, the child had been abused, and now you all act like you were deliberately misled? How does any of this even involve you? Making wild accusations without knowing the truth? Now that the official report is out, what—are you going to say it’s fake too?”

“Thank goodness we made it in time. Did you get a heads-up or something?” Liu Wu glanced at the flood of information on his phone, finally letting out a breath of relief. He turned to look at Yu Mozhi.

Yu Mozhi was propping up his cheek, eyes lowered, gently poking at his little darling’s chubby cheeks again and again.

The little cutie was being disturbed by him. Her tiny body wiggled slightly, trying to escape his fingertips. Her delicate brows furrowed, but she stubbornly stayed asleep, her little hands still clutching a script.

At such a young age, she already looked like a model student.

But this dad…

“Hey, stop poking her already.” Liu Wu couldn’t take it anymore. Holding his phone, he gave the sofa where Yu Mozhi was sitting a nudge with his foot.

Sure, people say if children aren’t raised to have fun, life loses meaning—but come on, you’re a little too enthusiastic!

Seriously, what kind of dad is this?
