The audience was successfully made uncomfortable. Everyone was suddenly on board with Mo Liang, thinking that no matter what as going on, the child needed to be protected and left out of the mess.
Gao Jiajia winced. "This is terrible indeed and I hope that the police is watching us and they will do something about it. Mr. Mo is right, we should do better as humans."
The talk went on for about thirty more minutes, Mo Liang succeeded in making the audience weepy and sympathizing. Then, the question and answer session started.
A woman stood and asked, "Will your wife be raising this child?"
Mo Liang's jaw tightened for just a moment—then softened, just enough.
"No… That is not her burden to bear. That is mine and as you all know, my wife is filing for divorce so it makes no sense for her to raise him."
The response was perfect. It made him look noble while subtly reminding everyone that his wife had no plans to be lenient or understanding.
