Chapter 88: Crackling

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

There was a sound from the bathroom in room four. The cameramen, who was sitting in the courtyard and chatting, immediately stood up. However, Chen Xiaomei and Bai Ruirui were both girls. They were a little hesitant and couldn’t barge in directly. Yet something was obviously wrong. They were a little anxious. The cameramen thought for a moment and went to invite Fu Xin.

“It looks like Bai Ruirui is crying,” Jiang Xinyuan whispered.

Fu Xin was also pricking up her ears to listen to the commotion. She frowned and didn’t reply. But at this moment, there was another sound from the bathroom. After a series of sounds of things falling, there was the sound of something hitting the wall. Then, Bai Ruirui’s cries became louder and louder, and she vaguely shouted, “Mom, no!”

When Fu Xin heard this, she couldn’t sit still anymore. She casually stuffed the phone into Jiang Xinyuan’s hand. “Help me play. I’ll go take a look.” With that, she got out of bed and left.

Jiang Xinyuan looked at the game page on his phone and then at his mother’s back. In the end, he put down his phone and followed behind his mother. Although there was a cameraman around, he still had to follow his mother and protect her. Who knew what a bad woman could do? After they left the room, the comments exploded.

[What’s going on?]

[Xinyuan say that it’s Bai Ruirui?]

[The little kid is crying so sadly. Did you hear the bangs?]

[No, where?]

[I heard it when I turned the volume to the maximum. It’s a little scary. It’s as if something hit a wall!]

[F*ck, Chen Xiaomei won’t hit the child, right?]

[No way, Ruirui is still so young…]

When she got close to the bathroom, Fu Xin stopped in her tracks. Considering their privacy, she chased the cameraman aside. First, she knocked on the door, but there was no response. Then, she pressed her ear against the door. This time, she could clearly hear Bai Ruirui crying.

“Mom, don’t hit the wall. I won’t cry anymore. Pinch me… Mom… Boohoo…”

So it was Chen Xiaomei’s head that made the sound? She didn’t hit the wall with the child, but she hit her head against the wall? But why did Chen Xiaomei hit her head against the wall? From what Bai Ruirui said, she even pinched Bai Ruirul?

Fu Xin didn’t have time to think and continued to knock on the door. “Chen

Xiaomei? Open the door quickly!” But after saving this, she felt that Chen

Xiaomei might be delirious now. Otherwise, a normal person shouldn’t be able to hit his head against the wall. Hence, Fu Xin changed her tone to a gentler one and said to Bai Ruirui, “Ruirui, is your mother feeling unwell? Open the door for Auntie and let her in to take a look. Otherwise, it’s too dangerous, don’t you think so?”

However, before she could finish speaking, the voices suddenly stopped.

The sound of her head hitting the wall had disappeared, and Bai Ruirui’s cries had also disappeared. The bathroom was silent, as if nothing had happened just now, but sometimes, being too quiet made one more worried.

Fu Xin leaned against the door and listened for a while. She thought that if there was still no movement, she would kick the door open. But at this moment, the door was pulled open suddenly. Fu Xin almost fell in.

Chen Xiaomei’s hair was dripping with water, and her hair was stuck to her face. Her forehead was mostly covered, blocking Fu Xin’s probing gaze. She actually wanted to see if there were any scars on Chen Xiaomei’s forehead.

Without waiting for Fu Xin to speak, Chen Xiaomei beat her to it in an impatient tone. “The floor of your bathroom is too slippery! Can you get the production team to buy an anti-slip pad? Don’t the owners of this house have old people at home? I really didn’t notice it at all. It’s fine if I fall since I’m young, but if it’s an old person, they’ll fall to their death!”

Fu Xin: “… So, the sound you made inside just now was just a fall?”

“What else? What? What do you want me to do?” Chen Xiaomei asked angrily.

Fu Xin didn’t want to talk to her anymore. She resisted the urge to roll her eyes. From the corner of her eye, she looked at Bai Ruirui, who had her head lowered, and said patiently, “Then why was Ruirui crying just now? Ruirui, tell me.”

“I fell. She’s crying because she;s worried. Is there a problem? Isn’t it just taking a shower in your bathroom? It’s too troublesome,” Chen Xiaomei said first. Then, she held Bai Ruirui’s hand and turned to leave.

Fu Xin was speechless. The last time she was so speechless was the last time!

Why did she feel that Chen Xiaomei’s mental state seemed a little abnormal? Which normal person was like this?

Chen Xiaomei only took a few steps before she shook off Bai Ruirui’s hand. She didn’t care if Bai Ruirui’s short legs could keep up, but she walked very quickly. This forced Bai Ruirui to jog to keep up. The sky was already dark, and it was a rural dirt road with potholes. Bai Ruirui accidentally tripped and fell to the ground, but Chen Xiaomei didn’t stop..
