My Wife Became a Top Star After I Came Back from Quick Transmigration - Chapter 95

Su Qixi didn’t know how she felt as she walked toward Lin Mo’s house. The silver-haired old lady helped them, and she also had the surname Lin. She said that 99% of the people in the village were surnamed Lin. The entire village was from the same ancestor and were all related.

Grandma Lin asked Su Qixi when she met Lin Mo. When she heard that Su Qixi was Lin Mo’s high school friend, she happily asked how Lin Mo did in high school. Grandma Lin had a lot to say and talked about all sorts of things. She thought that Su Qixi and Lin Mo were good friends, so she talked a lot about Lin Mo’s childhood.

However, the Lin Mo from before the reservoir incident was not the Lin Mo Su Qixi knew. No matter how much she heard, it felt like she was listening to a story about a stranger.

The village in winter was full of tranquility and mystery. Even though it was noon, there was already smoke rising from some houses. As they walked, they occasionally passed by winding paths and fields. In the fields of the south, there were still green vegetables in the winter. Everything looked like a simple yet artistic ink painting.

In a short while, Grandma Lin took the two of them to Lin Mo’s house. As the old people said, half of the house had collapsed. But the other half was still in good condition, and some rooms were completely intact. Grandma Lin said, “After her father sold this house, she came back to deal with it. But I heard that something happened to her, too. And she sold it to her neighbor. When she was little, her neighbor also helped her. So, Momo said no matter what, this was between her and her father. But since her neighbor bought it, the house belongs to her neighbor.”

Su Qixi looked at the old house. The half that had collapsed must have been a long time ago because stubborn weeds were growing in the cracks of the large stones, and moss was growing on the stones. Su Qixi was curious. “Since it was sold, why didn’t they tear it down and rebuild it?”

Grandma Lin laughed. “The neighbor’s child was very successful. They originally wanted to buy it to expand their house. But not long after, they emigrated and even took their parents with them. So should they build the house or not? They never decided. So it’s been abandoned ever since. Then a few years later, a person surnamed Qin came. They said they wanted to buy the house back for Momo. And three years ago, the house was transferred back to Momo’s name.”

Surnamed Qin?

Su Qixi was completely stunned, as if she had been struck by lightning. She looked at Grandma Lin and asked in disbelief, “Surnamed Qin?”

Grandma Lin nodded. “That’s right. I remember it very clearly. Because that house was not cheap! Even though this house is in the village, the price is inflated when villagers buy from each other. Back then, Momo’s neighbor bought it for 400,000 yuan. Later, that person surnamed Qin bought it back for Momo for 500,000 yuan. Everyone in the village knows about this! After all, Momo hadn’t been back for many years, and someone suddenly entrusted someone to buy the house back for 500,000 yuan. How could it not be a big deal?”

Qin Ke knew! Qin Ke knew everything! No, she should say that Lin Mo asked Qin Ke to do this. Su Qixi’s hands clenched tightly. Lin Mo asked Qin Ke to do this but didn’t tell her. Su Qixi took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Don’t get angry. My Lin Mo didn’t want to trouble me! Ugh, now I’m even angrier. Is Qin Ke closer to me than I am?

As she thought about it, she remembered that Lin Mo disappeared after she was in her third year of high school. She had also looked for Qin Ke. No, she should say she had looked for every classmate who was close to Lin Mo at the time. She still remembered when she found Qin Ke, he was surprised and said, “Lin Mo is gone? I didn’t know! I haven’t contacted her in a long time, either. Didn’t she get into a great school? Did she go to Huada University?” So Su Qixi didn’t doubt him. She bought a train ticket and went to Huada University. Thinking about it now, she was so easily fooled.

Su Qixi’s lips twitched. She asked, “Was he… Qin Ke?”

Grandma Lin answered, “Yes, yes, I think that’s his name. It’s been many years. I can’t remember clearly.” Grandma Lin saw the annoyed look on Su Qixi’s face and tried to ask, “Do you want to go in and take a look?”

Su Qixi was stunned. “Oh? Can we go in?”

Grandma Lin nodded. “The key is right here!” She moved the flowerpot by the door and took a key from the bottom of the pot. She smiled and said, “Momo told us to put the key here so we can take it if we need to.” Then, Grandma Lin opened the wooden door to the first floor.

It had been a long time, and the wooden door made a creaking sound as it opened. When the door opened, they could see the courtyard. There were dead leaves all over the ground, a black cat that immediately jumped onto the rocks and ran away when it heard the sound, and a few little birds that were startled. In the dilapidated courtyard, they could see the stairs leading to the second floor. The house was an old-fashioned courtyard house, so even though half of it had collapsed, it didn’t affect the other half. After Grandma Lin opened the door, she said to Su Qixi, “You can look around! I have to go back and cook for my grandson. The electricity is on in the house! When you’re done, please help me close the door.”

Su Qixi thanked Grandma Lin, and Grandma Lin waved her hand generously and left.

Wow, this old lady isn’t defensive at all!

It’s mainly because our Su Su is so beautiful.

You should say the village has a good atmosphere. They don’t have the concept of bad people!

After Grandma Lin left, Su Qixi took Bai Jin to the second floor. The exposed stairs were desolate and broken. Every step made a sound. Now, the viewers’ opinions on Lin Mo had completely changed. When they saw Lin Mo’s house, they couldn’t help but feel bad for her.

I can’t believe Lin Mo’s old house is so broken.

After all, she was in millions of dollars of debt. How could she have money to build a new house?

Didn’t you say she made a lot of money later?

She probably invested it again. Sigh, I wonder where she is now? I hope she can see my comment. I apologize for what I said about her.

Me too. I’ve always been very rational and didn’t want to be a part of the online harassment. But when I saw the video of her hitting people, I felt like she must have been in the wrong and cursed her for so long. I’m really sorry.

All bullies deserve to die. It’s not too much no matter how much Lin Mo hit them.

What’s more, those two pushed her into the reservoir. So what if they died from her hitting them?

It’s a shame that those people were only 14 years old back then. They were minors, and Lin Mo didn’t die, so they only had to pay enough money.

So Lin Mo is smart! She also beat them up, and she was only 14! Hahahaha.

Is this using magic to defeat magic? Hahahahaha.

While the viewers were laughing together, Su Qixi finally arrived at Lin Mo’s room. Actually, it wasn’t hard to find Lin Mo’s room. Her grandfather couldn’t give her a good life, so he could only give her everything he could. Lin Mo’s room was very old and broken. Some parts of the door were moth-eaten, and the paint had fallen off, which was very ugly. But in front of the door, a pink screen was hanging. The screen had been worn out by time. Only a little bit of it remained, which showed how much her grandfather loved Lin Mo.

The door wasn’t locked and could be easily pushed open. Surprisingly, the room was very clean and had no dust. It looked like it had been cleaned recently. By the window was a 1.5-meter wooden bed. The bed had a bedsheet, and the blanket was neatly folded at the head of the bed. In front of the window was a wooden table and chair that had been discarded by the school. At the foot of the bed was a handmade wardrobe made by an old person. Then, there was only a bookshelf opposite the bed. Even now, there were still some books on the bookshelf. The only thing that was out of place was the carpet in front of the bookshelf, which was a new carpet from recent years. This out-of-place carpet was like a splash of bright color in a black and white photo.

Bai Jin: “This carpet… did someone come here recently?”

Su Qixi reached out and touched the carpet. She frowned and said, “It’s Lin Mo. She came back.” Su Qixi had bought the same carpet before.

Bai Jin pouted. “Is she okay? Not only did she not build a new house, but she also put a new carpet in a house full of old furniture?”

Su Qixi choked up. She turned her head and glared at her. “Are you a spy from a rival company?” She had just cleared Lin Mo’s name, and this person just threw mud on her again!

Bai Jin: “…No, I just spoke too fast. I’m sorry! Boss!!!”

Hahahahahaha, this assistant is so funny.

But whose clothes are in here?

Maybe they’re her new clothes! She must have come back secretly.

Why would she come back secretly?

Did you forget how popular those hot searches about Lin Mo were? Just because she went to a cafe downstairs from Su Su’s apartment, people sent wreaths directly to the store.

So she didn’t dare to come back and live here openly because she was afraid of causing trouble for the villagers. If the reporters asked them, they could naturally say that Lin Mo never came back.

So… during that time, Lin Mo had nowhere to go. She… she could only stay in this small room with nothing in it? It’s so sad to think about! Wuwuwuwu.

Oh my god, I’m so terrible.

Wuwuwuwu, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have cursed you! Wuwuwuwu.

Lin Mo had taken her clothes with her when she left. Su Qixi frowned. She had a gut feeling that Lin Mo hadn’t actually been back. Someone else was staying here. With no other clues, Su Qixi thought of Qin Ke’s involvement in this matter. She took out her phone and called Qin Ke. The phone rang twice and was answered.

Qin Ke said hello, and Su Qixi asked him, “Did Lin Mo contact you?”

“Lin Mo?” Qin Ke was stunned. Then he said firmly, “No.”

“She contacted you before she left after graduating from high school, right? When I went to you back then, you said no. This time…” Su Qixi squinted and asked, “Are you lying to me?”

Qin Ke choked up. “Uh, you know?” Then he laughed foolishly. “Don’t worry! Since she’s back, she won’t leave again. Just wait a little longer. She might come back soon.”

Su Qixi: “So you did lie to me back then!!!”

Qin Ke immediately said, “You can blame Lin Mo for that, not me! She told me not to tell you.”

Su Qixi was shocked. “And you didn’t tell me just because she told you not to?”

Qin Ke smiled bitterly. “My mom got very sick that year, and she lent me a sum of money. She told me to keep it a secret. How could I not? Sigh, you should come find me! Lin Mo left some things with me. Do you want them?”

Su Qixi’s anger instantly disappeared. She asked, “What things?”

Qin Ke laughed. “You should come and see for yourself! I don’t know where she was for those eight years, but I know she did everything she possibly could. Come! It’s very interesting.”

Qin Ke hung up the phone, and Su Qixi inexplicably started crying. Tears fell from her eyes like pearls on a broken string. Sometimes, she knew very well that some pain was like a small knife carving out flesh. Every time, it hurt, making her feel so vulnerable at this moment.

What did she leave behind? She didn’t know, but she knew very clearly that it was the love and hope Lin Mo left behind before she left.

“Boss?” Bai Jin’s voice was small and careful. “Are you okay?”

Su Qixi shook her head. She wiped her tears and said in a hoarse voice, “I’m fine. I just thought of something sad. Let’s go back! We’re flying to another place tomorrow.”

Bai Jin looked at the equipment in her hand and asked, “What about this live stream?” Although she thought it might be difficult at first, the truth was that it was unusually smooth. The stories about Lin Mo being unfilial and a bully were so easily clarified that it was unbelievable. It only took a day to clear things up, but… it was precisely because the truth was so easy to find that the news from the reporters and the online harassment from the viewers seemed so ridiculous.

“Live stream,” Su Qixi said firmly. “There’s one more thing that needs to be clarified.”

Bai Jin: “??? What else?”

If there’s anything else, it’s that Lin Mo used Su Qixi’s influence to get a loan, right? That’s a fact. Is there anything to clarify about that?

Yeah! She had 5 million yuan in debt. It was even on the official website. She was sued.

Also, Lin Mo herself never denied it!

And she said that she had already paid it back, which indirectly confirms that she did owe money.

The most important thing about that recording isn’t about the loan. It’s about whether Lin Mo might be using Su Su and doesn’t love her!

Huh?

Oh!

Oh my god.

So, the thing that needs to be clarified is…

Su Qixi stood on the second-floor balcony, looking at the sunlight on the distant mountaintops. The sky was slowly getting darker, and the lights in the village houses had been turned on. Grandma Lin, who had returned home, came back. She turned on the lights on the first floor and asked, “Are you going back now? My son is going to the town. Do you want a ride?”

“Thank you, Grandma. We’re coming down now,” Su Qixi called out from upstairs. She closed the door and went downstairs with Bai Jin.

She had to clarify it! She had to clarify every rumor that slandered Lin Mo.
