The Movie

Si Ming scratched his head in frustration. He hated problems that couldn't be solved with force, and time was running out. He couldn't afford to slowly try to comfort Xie Xiaomei. If she showed signs of becoming Vengeful Transformation, everything would be over. In any case, to fulfill Xie Xiaomei's wish, he didn't necessarily have to heal this psychological trauma. Although avoidance wouldn't solve the problem, it would at least keep him away from it.

Moreover, while maternal love is great, it is not a necessity. Many orphans can live well. From an efficiency standpoint, it is wise not to touch Xie Xiaomei's psychological trauma. Otherwise, one careless move could trigger a landmine and cause a violent outburst, at which point it would be too late to regret it.

Just as Si Ming was about to make a decision, Liu Qingqing suddenly grasped his hand and said, "I want to help Xiaomei."

We are helping her.

Liu Qingqing shook her head and said, "I want her to know that 'Mom' isn't scary."

Si Ming said with difficulty, "If possible, I would also like to correct her perception, but time is running out."

Liu Qingqing slumped her shoulders and said in a dejected tone, "Children who think 'mother' is scary are really pitiful. Although my mother always neglected me and said I had no talent, she actually wanted me to live an ordinary life and live peacefully."

She took a deep breath and said firmly, "Regardless of what others think, in my opinion, she has fulfilled all the responsibilities a mother should have, and I am very grateful to her... I cannot imagine what it would be like for someone who is afraid of their mother."

Auntie Liu is a very strong woman, a point Si Ming wholeheartedly agrees with. She changed her daughter's surname in the hopes of avoiding the past troubles and starting a new life. However, she later realized that she couldn't escape them, as her daughter was entangled in her husband's past. So, she immediately changed her stance, hoping that her daughter would become strong enough to deal with the troubles that came her way.

Such decisiveness is rare even among men, let alone a woman. Moreover, considering all the accounts, before the incident, Auntie Liu was an ordinary housewife, gentle and virtuous, good at cooking and housework. It was only after the family division that she had to make changes in order to protect Liu Qingqing.

Si Ming paced back and forth in the room, finally giving in to Liu Qingqing's pleas and making a painful decision. "Although this might seem a bit forceful, I have no choice but to force myself on her!"

Chapter 618 Movie

Si Ming and Liu Qingqing went downstairs to the living room and found Auntie Liu, who was sitting on the sofa reviewing various documents.

"Mom, there's something I need to tell you, and I hope you'll listen carefully," Liu Qingqing said in a serious tone.

Auntie Liu glanced at their serious expressions, sighed, and said, "I knew it. Sigh, I had a feeling it would turn out this way. When summer vacation started, you suggested traveling with Si Ming, and I knew it would most likely end like this... Oh well, if it weren't for university, you'd be about the age to find someone. I was already pregnant when I was your age."

Liu Qingqing blinked, looking completely bewildered. "Mom, what are you talking about?"

Auntie Liu retorted, "Isn't it because you caused a death and couldn't cover it up anymore that you came to confront me?"

Liu Qingqing thought about it and realized that Xie Xiaomei's situation could be described as having caused a death, since the other party had indeed died accidentally and had now been resurrected in her body. In addition, it could also be described as a showdown. Right now, she really wanted her mother's help.

But how did my mother know everything when I didn't say anything? Could she be prophetic? She always seems busy with work, but is she secretly practicing some kind of divination Divine Arts?

"That's right, we're here to confront you."

Liu Qingqing nodded seriously in response, while Auntie Liu wore an expression that said, "I knew I was right."

Seeing this, Si Ming couldn't help but rub his forehead. The two were completely on different wavelengths. The idea that no one knows a daughter better than her mother was utter nonsense. It would be a miracle if two people who hadn't been together for a long time could have a psychological connection based on blood ties.

Auntie Liu said to Si Ming, "I'm not some dogmatic elder. Since it's a matter of mutual consent, there's nothing to criticize. I've watched you grow up. Although you're sometimes a bit frivolous, you're reliable in crucial moments. Moreover, you've grown up to be responsible and manly. If you were still as timid and hesitant as you were when you were a child, I would never agree to it."

As a single parent, Auntie Liu naturally hopes that her future son-in-law will be the kind of person who can take care of others rather than be taken care of, and who has enough strength to be the pillar of the family. When he was young, Si Ming seemed very unreliable. He was not only timid but also lacked his own opinions. With such a personality, neither of them would be happy together. This is not because she is materialistic, but because a family must have at least one pillar, otherwise it will definitely collapse.

She didn't hide these thoughts from Qingqing. After all, the mother and daughter rarely spent time together, and if they kept things from each other, it would only create unnecessary conflicts. It would be better to agree on the choice of a partner from the beginning. However, she also noticed her daughter's special physical condition. Her presence was so weak that her classmates couldn't even remember her, and she only had one male friend, Si Ming. Therefore, she was always worried.

Fortunately, after entering high school, Si Ming's personality changed. He became more optimistic and positive, and also more proactive and charismatic, which are the hallmarks of successful people. However, perhaps because he was too repressed in his childhood, his rebound was stronger. He was too proactive and sometimes rushed too fast, and once he got going, he was unstoppable.

Of course, Auntie Liu didn't think this was a big deal. Perhaps many people like honest people who are content with mediocrity and think that being ordinary is a blessing, but such people are not suitable for their family's situation. If the troubles from the past come back, mediocre people will not be able to protect Qingqing at all. That's why she particularly admires talented people.

"It's better to do something and then regret it than to regret it later" and "Just do it first" are also her beliefs; otherwise, she wouldn't have achieved what she has today.

Many successful people possess this characteristic, simply because they took that first small step. Of course, many others fail because of this, but for ordinary people, they don't even have the right to fail. Just like the poor don't experience bankruptcy; if you're already at rock bottom, how much more can you fall?

"We Mohist School don't follow the Confucian School formalities, but we still need to observe basic etiquette. Let's pick an auspicious day for the engagement, and you can take a break from school when you get pregnant." Knowing that Si Ming had no parents, Auntie Liu put on the airs of a parent.

Liu Qingqing finally realized that they weren't talking about the same thing. "Mom, you've misunderstood. That's not what we wanted to talk about."

"This is of utmost importance. Let's discuss this first before talking about anything else. By the way, wasn't the 'Marriage Compatibility Act' recently enacted? Let's fill out that form first."

Mentioning the marriage compatibility form made Si Ming panic. He had no idea how to resolve the issue, and he dared not take out the form signed by Yu Shuying. He quickly said, "Qingqing has another soul inside her, and we need your assistance." Then, he briefly explained Xie Xiaomei's situation in a very fast voice.

After listening, Auntie Liu didn't question the truth of the matter. After all, living in a world of divine intervention, she was already used to the supernatural. She said thoughtfully, "In short, it's because Qingqing is possessed by the soul of another little girl. She was abused by her mother, so you hope I can play the role of a mother and heal her emotional wounds?"

Si Ming nodded. Although doing so was risky, tantamount to forcibly reopening Xie Xiaomei's wounds, there was no hope of healing without breaking the old ways. Only by facing the problem head-on could there be a chance to heal the wounds.

As for choosing Auntie Liu, it was unavoidable. Even disregarding Liu Qingqing's physical bloodline, among the people Si Ming knew, only she was suitable to play this role. He couldn't possibly choose Yao Bilian, as that would only shift Xie Xiaomei's impression of "mother" from one extreme to the other... Hmm, thinking about it carefully, fighting poison with poison seems to be a solution.

Just as Si Ming was letting his imagination run wild, Auntie Liu frowned and said, "Isn't this situation possession? It's not good for her health to stay on the body for too long, isn't it? How about we exorcise the spirit and send her back to Taiwei?"

As expected of Auntie Liu, she showed absolutely no sympathy for the girl just because she was a young girl. Si Ming couldn't help but doubt his choice; perhaps it really would have been better to go with Yao Bilian?

Liu Qingqing said, "Mom, I want to help her."

Auntie Liu and her daughter looked at each other for a while, then she sighed and relented, "Alright, I'll do my best."

Si Ming added, "Fulfilling Xie Xiaomei's wish also benefits Qingqing. Actually, Xie Xiaomei wasn't the only one who received the gift; there were two others before her, and we fulfilled their wishes as well. As a result, Qingqing's cultivation of Divine Arts has improved rapidly. Divine Arts that used to take a month to master can now be mastered in just six days. Even those so-called geniuses are only at this level. If we add Xie Xiaomei's contribution, she can reach even greater heights and stand out among the geniuses."

"Is that so?" Upon hearing that it would help her daughter, Auntie Liu immediately changed her attitude. "Leave this to me. You just let her out."

Although Liu Qingqing had reservations about this profit-driven approach, she was already grateful that her mother was willing to help, so she didn't want to make any demands. She closed her eyes and focused her consciousness into her sea of consciousness, exchanging ideas with Xie Xiaomei.

The moment Xie Xiaomei opened her eyes, she seemed flustered as she was forced to take over her body. She had obviously been forcibly pulled out, and Liu Qingqing did not offer her any explanation.

"Has it been changed?" Auntie Liu stared at Xie Xiaomei carefully. "Although her appearance hasn't changed at all, the change in her temperament is very obvious. It's like she's gone from a dandelion to a rabbit."

Si Ming couldn't help but say, "It's understandable to say Xie Xiaomei is a rabbit, but why is Qingqing a dandelion? Even the species have changed!"

"Look, dandelions give the impression that they disappear without a trace if you're not careful, and if you reach out to grab them, they slip through your palm. Although they make things look prettier, it doesn't seem to make much difference without them."

Si Ming nodded repeatedly. "It does sound reasonable... but is it okay to describe your daughter like that?"

On the other side, Xie Xiaomei's attention was not diverted by the conversation between the two. She was like a chick being stared at by an eagle, trembling incessantly, her fingers gripping so tightly they turned white.

Seeing this, Si Ming quickly winked at Auntie Liu, signaling her to do something.
