Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 318: Chapter 318: Heavenly Master 25

Seeing Wang Wei’s grim expression as he looked at her but said nothing, Cui Cui sneered and said bitterly, ”Of course you don’t know. Your wife, who shares your deep love and does good deeds with you, has done some extremely cruel things in the past!”

Without waiting for anyone to react, Cui Cui directly exhaled a breath of resentful energy, pulling everyone into her memories. This was a unique ability of the Grudge Spirit, allowing others to deeply feel everything she once experienced! When Situ Shuangshuang subdued Little Shun earlier, she had experienced Little Shun’s past firsthand.

At this moment, everyone, including Situ Shuangshuang, who knew yet didn’t resist, found themselves traveling back in time to more than a decade ago, and they once again saw Cui Cui, Cui Cui when she was still alive!

Cui Cui was crying, and a young beautiful woman was comforting her. Wang Wei recognized her at a glance; this woman was his wife Chen Lijuan, or rather, Chen Lijuan when she was young.

The crowd gathered around Cui Cui and Chen Lijuan, listening as Cui Cui cried and complained to Chen Lijuan, ”Aunt Chen, my mom is really too much. She controls everything I do, even demands to know where I go and what I say every day. If I forget to tell her anything, she scolds me terribly! The words are so venomous! It’s as if I’m not her daughter but her sworn enemy. How can a real mother scold her daughter like this!”

Chen Lijuan wiped Cui Cui’s tears with a handkerchief and gently advised, ”Good child, Aunt Chen knows you’ve always been obedient and well-behaved, but you can’t make a joke of your own life no matter what! If you can’t stand your mom, focus on finishing college, find a good job in the future, and move out. Distance leads to appreciation, and once you’re far away, your mom will naturally realize how important you are to her. At that point, whether you choose to live with her or just visit her often, it’s up to you! But falling in love and eloping rather than finishing school is irresponsible for your life!”

Cui Cui sobbed, explaining to Chen Lijuan, ”Aunt Chen, I’m actually not in love; I just said that to make my mom angry. I have no place to meet boys since she controls me so tightly. Where am I supposed to find a boyfriend? I said all that just to see if she cares about me! If she really cared, she would have caught onto my lie, but she believed it instantly. She doesn’t care about me at all! She just wants to control me! She only wants a puppet for a daughter. I! I can’t stand her anymore!”

Listening to Cui Cui’s accusations, Situ Shuangshuang shook her head. Although she had no parents, she had a mentor. Her mentor Chen Qi had also liked to nag. In her past life, Situ Shuangshuang disliked her mentor’s nagging until she found herself in dire straits, at which time, only her nagging mentor came to her rescue, risking life and limb.

It was then that Situ Shuangshuang understood that the nagging of elders, though annoying to children, was actually a sign of care, a way to ensure their child won’t suffer or be bullied, wanting to be involved in every aspect of their life, thus needing to know everything about them.

Maybe sometimes parents’ behavior is over the top, but undeniably, except in rare cases, no parent doesn’t love their children!

Cui Cui blames her mother for not seeing through her lie as a lack of care, yet she forgets that sometimes a mother’s inability to see through her child’s lie isn’t due to indifference but too much care, leading to confusion. Deep concern makes a mother believe her child’s lies without question.

Yet Cui Cui obviously couldn’t sense this. She continued to cry and complain to Chen Lijuan, who continued to gently advise her, ”Child, you mustn’t let your mind run wild. Your mom even gave up her job to take care of you! How heartbroken she’d be if she knew you felt this way. Be a good child, listen to your aunt, go back, and clear things up with your mom. Studying hard in college is the way forward.”

Perhaps it was Chen Lijuan’s advice that worked, or maybe Cui Cui came to some realization herself, for she finally dried her tears and went home. But not long after returning home, Cui Cui had another huge fight with her mom, and then once again came crying to pour out her troubles to the empathetic Aunt Chen.

Only this time, Cui Cui didn’t notice that Chen Lijuan’s face showed signs of exhaustion, mixed with struggle, guilt, hesitation, and an enigmatic hope and a chilling coldness!

Immersed in her thoughts, Cui Cui failed to notice Chen Lijuan’s complex expression. She continued as before, crying and telling her woes to the understanding Aunt Chen, eventually expressing her desire to stay at Chen Lijuan’s for a couple of nights, to escape her mother’s nagging.

Chen Lijuan slightly dryly advised her twice more to go home, but Cui Cui insisted on not going back. Chen Lijuan’s eyes revealed a determined look, and she sighed, smiled, and said to Cui Cui, ”Since you won’t go back, just stay at Aunt’s. It happens that your uncle and cousin are out, and tonight it’s just the two of us; it wouldn’t be bad to have you keep Aunt company.”

Cui Cui, exhausted from crying, sniffled and agreed. Then, as Chen Lijuan went to prepare dinner, Cui Cui, very familiar with the place, offered to help cook. However, Chen Lijuan refused, insisting that Cui Cui find a place to rest, or watch some TV.

Because of the close ties between the two families, Cui Cui trusted Chen Lijuan. Being too exhausted from crying, her mind was foggy, her eyes tired and sore, she didn’t insist on helping anymore. Instead, she grabbed a blanket, covered herself, and lay on the sofa to take a nap.

Half-asleep, Chen Lijuan called her to get up for dinner. Cui Cui, still groggy, got up and ate hastily. Chen Lijuan had prepared dishes she loved, continuously serving her and encouraging her to eat more. The warmth made Cui Cui, utterly saddened by her mother’s scolding, feel much better.

But after dinner, Cui Cui felt exceptionally sleepy. Though she had planned to help Chen Lijuan wash the dishes and clean up, she was simply too drowsy. She ended up falling asleep directly at the table!

Cui Cui awoke from pain! She found herself tightly bound with ropes in a bathtub, her mouth stuffed with something making it impossible to move her tongue, her face completely wrapped in tape!
