Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 339: No Taboos at All_1

All say that hearing is false, seeing is true. But in most cases, what is seen may not be the truth either.

Because, it is the heart that makes the judgment.

People have limitations, and every situation has two sides. Drawing conclusions without full understanding can, even if well-intentioned, likely lead to harmful outcomes.

"It started out with good intentions" cannot absolve one of guilt.

Just like if Mingyue had killed Sand Wolf because of his relationship with Xing, then it would mean killing the family of three, including Xing and the child.

Pure sin.

For example, Xiao Ming’s desire for Mad Dog was not about having his own assassination organization, but rather about preparing a workforce for the intelligence organization that Furukawa Shizuka had set up for him.

After all, the Hong Family is just a minor Southeast Asian power, without the vast funds and technological strength of the Super Doll Factory.

Therefore, although Mad Dog ostensibly may have lost his independent consciousness, he is actually just living in filth and violence every day like a dog, deep down not regarding himself as human.

From the time they could remember, they lived under the tyranny of the Hong Family. Hunger, beatings, even death were all part of daily life, with their personalities brutally shaped into "dog personalities."

Rather than saying they are loyal to the Hong Family, it is more accurate to say they are afraid, subconsciously not daring to resist.

In fact, being able to survive in such a cruel environment means they cannot be brainless idiots; this also means their ability to embrace new things is much stronger than that of the average person.

Of course, the likelihood of training them into elite spies is not high, but tailing someone, following a lead, or killing someone is not difficult at all.

The most crucial point is that once they recognize a master, they are not likely to betray easily. Once they accept a mission, they proceed without looking back, refusing to retreat even unto death. They are simply the perfect candidates for a suicidal loyalty mission.

Xiao Ming believes that Furukawa Shizuka will definitely like them.

"Sister Mingyue!"

On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Xiao Ming was having breakfast when Xiao Zhimeng suddenly cheered, hopped off her stool, and ran towards the door.

"Did you bring Little Qing with you, sister? And Little Green and Little Red, let me see them quickly!"

"You little brat, are you seeing your sister just for them? I didn’t bring them today."

"How could that be! Mengmeng loves Sister Mingyue the most."

After New Year’s Day, Bai Xuechao visited Bai Yiran in prison, which naturally made Qingfeng and Mingyue frequent guests at Xiao Ming’s house.

Watching his daughter cuddling up to Mingyue, Xiao Ming shook his head and called out with a smile, "Qingfeng is here, have you eaten?"

"Uncle, Mingyue got up late, so she hasn’t eaten yet," Qingfeng replied politely.

"Who got up late? Do you want to die?" Mingyue stuffed the three little snakes into Xiao Zhimeng’s arms and then kicked Qingfeng in the leg.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming laughed out loud: "Silly boy, where is it appropriate to embarrass a girl in public? You deserve that kick.

Come sit down! Let’s eat together."

Xiao Bing and Gu Tinglan had already brought over the food and two sets of chopsticks, placing them on the dining table.

"Qingfeng, try this bun, I wrapped it with my own hands yesterday. By the way, how is your wound?"

Compared to Mingyue, who is covered in venomous insects, Qingfeng, who is clean, handsome and well-mannered, naturally is more favored by women.

Especially recently, with Jiang Xue’s overflowing maternal love, it seemed one Xiao Zhimeng was not enough for her affections; every time she saw Qingfeng, she doted on him as if he were her own son.

Qingfeng also liked Jiang Xue very much and took a bite of the bun with a simple smile: "Mingyue has excellent medical skills, and I’m no longer in any danger. Auntie, don’t worry, I’ll definitely protect uncle properly when we go out this time."

"He’s an adult, going to a treasure appraisal meeting, not a battlefield; what is there to protect? Just take care of yourself."

Because Xiao Ming became well-known in the antique collection world for discovering the "Empress Dowager’s Love Letters" in Lingnan and donating them to the museum, as well as for his intention to establish a cultural relics traveling fund.

A few days ago, he received an invitation letter from one of the oldest and most authoritative organizations in the collecting world—the Ancient Appraisal Association of Jiuzhou, inviting him to participate in the treasure appraisal convention starting on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

This reminded him of an incident that had occurred at a previous convention, which is why he gladly accepted the invitation.

As for his wife’s behavior of "seeing the child and forgetting the husband," far from minding it, he was actually pleased about it.

Women can easily accumulate stress during pregnancy, especially during their first pregnancy, which can inadvertently lead to postpartum depression.

It was a good thing that Jiang Xue could find outlets for energy in Xiao Zhimeng and Qingfeng.

"You little rascal, do you understand the hidden meaning in your aunt’s words?" he said, sipping his porridge. "I don’t need your protection, but I need you to keep an eye out, to keep unrelated vixens at bay."

Qingfeng laughed sheepishly without responding, but Mingyue decisively said, "Auntie, rest assured, if any clueless woman shows up, I’ll have Hei bite her!"

"Such a good kid for your auntie!"

Jiang Xue was overjoyed and stuffed three meat buns in Mingyue’s bowl in one go.

Xiao Ming rolled his eyes, seeing Xiao Zhimeng playing joyfully on the floor with three little snakes, then knocked on the table and said sternly, "Mengmeng, play after you’ve finished eating!"

Xiao Zhimeng turned around with a pitiful look and said, "After we finish eating, Qing will be taken away by Sister Mingyue.

Daddy, let me play a little before eating, okay? Please?"

"Oh, then remember to finish your meal afterward, no leftovers, and wash your hands first, okay?"

"I know, thank you, Daddy!"

Seeing this, Gu Tinglan shook her head, speechless.

She had wanted to intervene earlier, but was afraid to approach because of the snakes on her daughter’s body, and worried that the child might bring the snakes to the table and upset everyone.

At first, she was pleased when she heard Xiao Ming’s call, but who would have thought that after his daughter had spoken softly, he simply agreed, showing no principles whatsoever.

Thinking about Jiang Xue, who was even more spoiled and permissive, she resignedly gave up on the idea of raising her daughter to be a gentlewoman.

"Put your heart back in your stomach," seeing her thoughts, Xiao Ming spoke up. "Mengmeng is sensible, not the type who would throw a tantrum when she doesn’t get what she wants.

Moreover, since you want me to educate her, stop hoping she’ll turn out like the delicate flower you are.

Do you really want her to suffer the same losses you once did?

The worst thing a child can have is blindly listening to adults and authority, becoming a yes-man and easy prey.

My greatest hope for the future of our child is the courage to challenge authority and think independently.

Therefore, in this family, no matter how unreasonable a request from the child, as long as she can give a persuasive explanation, I will fulfill it.

This is not spoiling her, but fostering her self-confidence. Do you understand?"

After pondering for a while, Gu Tinglan couldn’t help but look at her daughter and bitterly smile, "I don’t know if your way of education is right or wrong, but one thing’s for sure, Mengmeng will definitely grow up to be a crab."

Xiao Ming laughed heartily, "My daughter, Xiao Ming’s daughter, is naturally born to be imperious. As long as she’s kind-hearted and smart enough, nothing is taboo!"

Listening to his proud laughter, Yang Hanqing, who had been silent, suddenly had a thought that startled her, but her hand involuntarily caressed her stomach as if she were also pregnant.
