Ye Mo: "..."

Ye Mo gave him a pitying look and said, "Don't you think she looks a lot like your online crush, Xiaomei?"

Niu Guangping: "..."

Niu Guangping's expression froze, and then his eyes slowly widened.

"Waaah, honey, you did something wrong, you deserve to go to jail!" Hong Youtian's wife, still wiping away tears, said, "Don't worry, I will definitely make sure Cancan gets the surgery!"

Her gentle demeanor and the way she cried were so heart-wrenching that it made people feel sorry for her. Coupled with her daughter's mournful sobs beside her, someone else might have impulsively forgiven the family and let the matter drop.

The woman kept her head down, still crying, but she was also anxious: in the past, when things happened like this, people would usually forgive them if she cried with her child, so why hadn't the people relented this time?

It's all that cold-blooded woman's fault!

The woman gritted her teeth secretly, cursing Ye Mo in her heart: Mingming else had already softened their hearts, but she was heartless.

Just then, the woman suddenly heard a familiar, incredulous cry:

" Xiaomei?!"

"Are you Xiaomei?"

The woman subconsciously looked up and met Niu Guangping's incredulous gaze.

Chapter 70, the seventieth melon: What kind of melon is it? It's the one you eat seventy times...

Xiaomei? What Xiaomei?

When everyone heard Niu Guangping shout this, their first reaction was bewilderment.

After calling out the name, Niu Guangping quickly walked out of the crowd and went directly to the woman who was kneeling on the ground holding a child, staring intently at her.

The woman staring at him stiffened, her hands tightening around the child so much that the baby in her arms felt a little pain. The baby looked up at him timidly.

" Xiaomei, are you Xiaomei?" Niu Guangping asked the woman as soon as he opened his mouth.

Upon hearing the name " Xiaomei," the woman's eyes flickered, and she lowered her head to avoid his gaze, saying...

"What Xiaomei? You've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not Xiaomei... My name is Mei Yi."

"No, you are Xiaomei!" Niu Guangping shook his head vigorously.

Seeing this scene, the others couldn't help but feel a little dazed: Why does this scene look so familiar? It's as if we've seen it not long ago.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but glance at Li Kui beside them, their expressions somewhat strange—it was just like when Li Kui was looking for " Hong Tiantian," and back then, Hong Youtian a denial attitude of "I'm not her, you've mistaken me for someone else."

During Wu Youyou's live stream, a viewer named Youyou posted a comment. "[Things seem to be getting interesting?]"

"I'm sure I didn't mistake her!" On the other end, facing Xiaomei's denial, Niu Guangping didn't believe her at all, and his tone of confirmation was very certain.

He pointed to the woman's right eyebrow and said, "We video chatted before. You have a mole on this side of your eyebrow. Also, the bracelet you're wearing was bought for me; it cost me a full three thousand yuan..."

Upon hearing only half of Niu Guangping's words, the woman instinctively reached out to cover her right eye. Upon hearing the second half, she instinctively covered her left wrist, appearing flustered and disoriented.

Seeing this, everyone understood perfectly well; it was clear that Niu Guangping had not mistaken the person for someone else.

"... Hmm, why does the name Xiaomei sound so familiar?" someone in the crowd muttered. This person was also from Ye Mo's film crew, and muttered, "I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before..."

Did you hear it while watching short videos online? It doesn't seem like it.

"How could it not sound familiar?" someone couldn't help but complain, "Didn't Niu Guangping mention his online girlfriend before, whose name was Xiaomei?"

"..." After their initial shock, the crew exclaimed, "Ah, this..."

Several seconds later, someone said, "So, after Li Kui, Niu Guangping has also met his online love interest?"

Ye Mo added quietly, "It's not just that he encountered him; it seems he was also deceived, just like Li Kui... In a way, this makes them good brothers who share hardships, right?"

Everyone:... Miss Ye, you have a really good sense of humor.

Wu Youyou was hiding behind Ye Mo Ye Mo the others, so she heard their conversation clearly, as did her viewers in the live stream. Those who had previously debated whether Ye Mo was cold-blooded and ruthless all fell silent.

[This sister is so funny, she's a true brother in times of trouble!]

[The people in this live stream are all so talented! Coming back here feels like coming home. I've already messaged all my friends and family to watch. You can't miss out on this kind of fun!]

[Who could have imagined things would turn out this way? So exciting, so incredibly exciting!]

So, is this still a family-run workshop? Are the whole family scammers?

Meanwhile, Niu Guangping was already on the verge of collapse. He pointed at the woman, then at the child in her arms, and questioned, "Didn't you tell me you were divorced and single, a single mother... and that being a single mother was too hard, so you wanted to find a warm embrace to accept you and your child!"

"If that's the case, then who is this man? Didn't you say you were divorced?"

He pointed at Hong Youtian, his tone filled with shame and indignation.

Hong Youtian somewhat flustered, while Mei Yi was even more flustered. She said in a panic, "This... this matter... let me explain, there's actually a reason..."

"Fine." Overcome with anger, Niu Guangping calmed down and said, "I'll listen to your explanation. I want to hear how you explain it... You Mingming said you were divorced, so why do you still have a husband?"

Li Kui reached out and patted Niu Guangping on the shoulder. Just now, Niu Guangping had comforted him, but now it was Li Kui who was comforting Niu Guangping.

" Guangping, calm down," he said.

Niu Guangping: "... I can't calm down at all. She said she was divorced with a child, so I treated her so well, giving her money, buying her food and clothes. But now, you're telling me she wasn't divorced at all! She's been lying to me all along!"

Niu Guangping became increasingly aggrieved as he spoke, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Li Kui sighed, "... It's alright, at least she's a woman, her gender is correct. The one who lied to me was a man!" He also wanted to wipe away his tears.

"..." Ye Mo listened to their conversation, somewhat speechless: Are these two now competing to see who has the worst life they can live?

Although their situation is terrible, why does it sound so funny?

Oh dear, I can't laugh. It would be so immoral to laugh out loud.

"Tell me, how are you going to explain to me that you're not married?" Niu Guangping glared angrily at Mei Yi.

Mei Yi: "Ah, this, this..."

Her gaze darted around as she racked her brains trying to figure out how to explain the situation, only to find to her despair that there was no way to explain it. After all, she hadn't actually gotten a divorce; she had been lying from the beginning by using the pretense of divorce.

Meanwhile, Wu Youyou's live stream became quite lively, for no other reason than a few netizens suddenly popped up and said:

[Isn't this my online girlfriend, Xiaoli? What's going on? She told me she's not married yet, so how come she has a husband and daughter? And she's talking about divorce? What's going on?]

[No, this is Xiaomei. She told me she's divorced and a single mother... Besides me, she actually has other online boyfriends?]

[I know her. She told me her name is Xiaohe and she's twenty-five years old. So, is she Xiaomei or Xiaoli?]
