Chapter 95 I Am Not Me (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The door to Xu Qingmo's house was pounded on loudly.

Lu Ting came over and opened the door, only to find Cai Qinqin standing there. He immediately tried to close the door, but Cai Qinqin grabbed it first, preventing it from closing.

But her hand got caught in the door.

Lu Ting was startled. "You don't want your hand anymore?"

"I'm here to see Xu Qingmo about something. Let me in."

"Qingmo doesn't want to see you. Uncle Shen has also made it clear to you that you are not allowed to come into this house anymore. How can you be so shameless?" Lu Ting said irritably.

His good temper was completely worn away by Cai Qinqin and her son Wang Xiaohu.

Cai Qinqin still gripped the door frame. "I'll give you two choices. First, let me in, and I'll say a few words to Xu Qingmo and then leave. Second, I'll stay here and you can't close the door unless you break my hand."

Lu Ting cursed him as a madman, and Cai Qinqin was put into the house.

Xu Qingmo has recently taken a liking to roasted sweet potatoes. At this moment, she was happily eating a roasted sweet potato, her face, nose, and mouth covered in black ash.

Ignoring everything else, she continued to take big bites of the sweet potato flesh.

"What are you doing here?" Xu Qingmo disliked Cai Qinqin very much. Before, she hated Hong Lanlan, but now she found that Cai Qinqin was even more annoying than Hong Lanlan.

Tsai Chin-Chin arrived uninvited, pulled up a chair and sat down, saying, "Of course I have my reasons for coming here."

"Speak your mind, or shut up," Xu Qingmo urged.

Tsai Chin-chin's face immediately turned ugly, but since she had already been given the chance to speak, she didn't mince words and spoke frankly.

“My purpose in coming here is simple: you have to reveal my secret in public. Now I need you to tell me a secret about Hong Lanlan, and I can pretend that the wrong things you did before never happened.”

Tsai Chin-Chin felt she acted very generously.

No one in the family compound wanted to make an enemy of her, because no one could out-argue her.

Hong Lanlan is now only able to argue to a draw with her, but she owes it all to the 'blessing' of the secrets revealed by Xu Qingmo.

If Hung Lan-lan hadn't seized on this weakness, Tsai Chin-chin wouldn't have been able to break down.

Therefore, she came here to ask Xu Qingmo for a little-known secret about Hong Lanlan that would hurt her deeply, in a fair and just manner.

"I wasn't lying, why should I need your forgiveness?" Xu Qingmo was confused and surprised.

"I won't tell you anything else, but can you tell me a secret about Hong Lanlan?"

“No, she hasn’t offended me yet.” Xu Qingmo was clear about the situation.

"I'm being targeted by Hong Lanlan because you revealed my secret. Isn't that your problem?"

"It's not my problem, it's your own problem. Don't think that it's noble to push all the blame onto a child. People will look down on you. For example, I look down on you right now."

Xu Qingmo made no attempt to hide her dislike for Cai Qinqin.

Wang Xiaohu's current state is partly due to his own actions and partly due to Cai Qinqin's spoiling.

Although she had already taught Wang Xiaohu a lesson, it didn't stop her from continuing to hate him.

"You little brat, how dare you look down on me? Aren't you afraid I'll be rude to you?" Tsai Chin-Chin's soft approach failed, so she decided to use some tougher methods.

Xu Qingmo threw the sweet potato peels into the fire, glanced at Cai Qinqin sideways, and said with great disdain, "You can try it."

"I'll give it a try." Cai Qinqin saw a wooden stick nearby, picked it up, and threatened, "If you still don't want to talk now, I'll use this to spank your bottom, ouch, it's hot..."

Cai Qinqin didn't notice that the wooden stick she was holding in her palm suddenly burst into flames, burning her hand with several blisters.

She clearly remembered picking up the branch and finding it perfectly fine; there was no fire at all. Why did it suddenly catch fire and burn her palm?

She suddenly remembered that Wang Xiaohu had mentioned to her before about pants that had inexplicably caught fire.

At first, Tsai Chin-Chin thought it was just a story that Wang Xiaohu made up to avoid being scolded because his pants were burned.

But now the facts are right in front of her, leaving her no choice but to believe them.

"Why did you pick up a burning stick? You're really brave," Xu Qingmo said, her words carrying a double meaning.

Cai Qinqin was suddenly stunned. At this moment, Xu Qingmo was still innocent and harmless, but in her eyes, she seemed to have changed.

Because she saw that Xu Qingmo was actually sneering, and her eyes were sharp, which was not something a five-year-old child could do.

Tsai Chin-Chin lost her balance and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Did you start the flames on the tree branch? Who are you? Or are you not even human?"

Just then, the door was pushed open, and Shen Jiang led Wang Jing into the house, just in time to hear the voices from before.

Xu Qingmo originally intended to deal with Cai Qinqin herself, but now she realized that she didn't need to do it.

Xu Qingmo ran up to Shen Jiang, hugged his leg, and her eyes reddened with grievance. "Dad, this person called me inhuman and threatened to hit me if I didn't tell Aunt Lanlan's secret. I'm so scared."

Shen Jiang felt a pang of heartache and quickly knelt down to wipe away Xu Qingmo's tears, then pulled her into his arms.

"Don't be afraid, Momo, Daddy will help you get revenge," Shen Jiang said earnestly.

Xu Qingmo hugged his neck tightly, "Dad is the best to me."

Cai Qinqin found this scene very strange. She was certain that no one in the room was a match for Xu Qingmo.

But now she's pretending to be delicate and fragile.

Tsai Chin-Chin almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Shenjiang, listen to me, this Xu Qingmo is absolutely a monster, she…”

"Dad, she also said I'm a monster, waaaaah... Momo is so sad, Momo is heartbroken." Xu Qingmo interrupted Cai Qinqin while crying.

Shen Jiang glared at Cai Qinqin and questioned in a deep voice, "Who gave you permission to appear in my house? Did you pretend you didn't understand what I said before?"

"No, it's not me. I have something I want to talk to Xu Qingmo about, I..."

"Alright, I don't want to hear your stories. You've seriously affected the harmony of my family this time. If you don't reflect on your actions, I'll have Wang Shuncai persuade you to leave the family compound."

Shen Jiang's tone was firm, and Cai Qinqin swallowed hard in fear.

She no longer dared to say a bad word about Xu Qingmo.

Once she is persuaded to leave the family compound and return to her hometown, her life will definitely be even harder.

This is also one of the reasons why she ran back despite arguing with Wang Shuncai and him not coming to pick her up.

"Fine, fine, I won't interfere in your family's affairs anymore. I'm leaving, I'm leaving right now." Cai Qinqin hurriedly left Xu Qingmo's house.

Wang Jing reached out her hand to Xu Qingmo, who then extended her hand, and Wang Jing hugged her.

Shen Jiang went to the kitchen to heat up the food, and Wang Jing kissed Xu Qingmo twice on the cheek.

"I'm sorry that Momo was upset today. Eat more food later and forget all about it."

Xu Qingmo suddenly looked at Wang Jing and asked, "Mom, aren't you worried that I'm not myself?"
