"Don't you think that they are being way too welcoming?" Mo Qiang remarked as she walked out of their aunt's house. Though she didn't say it directly, Mo Xifeng knew what her sister meant by those words.
She glanced at Mo Qiang and said to her, "If you want to complain—"
"Oh, I am complaining," snapped Mo Qiang as she ground her molars until they were about to grind into dust. "I mean. I admit that I might have done some things that offended them but don't you think it was too much of them to treat me like I was some mutated cockroach that just won't die? Did you see the way that mer looked at me? If he had a shoe big enough to squash me, I am telling you, he would have done that!"
Mo Qiang had long forgotten that look of disgust that people used to give her when she first arrived in this world after being adored by so many of her fans and admirers. But with Xu Mi looking at her as if he could not wait to sprinkle salt on every corner of his house, Mo Qiang couldn't help but feel that she had been humbled in a matter of a few seconds.
That mer didn't just treat her like a piece of trash; he treated her like some demonic entity that needed to be exorcised and then trapped and thrown into the ocean!
That gaze—it just about hurled a million curses at Mo Qiang despite Xu Mi not saying a single word.
Mo Xifeng parted her lips; she wanted to tell Mo Qiang that she was thinking too much but when she thought about how Xu Mi had tried to snatch even the smallest cherry tomato for his daughter, she closed her mouth and didn't say anything.
"Did I do something really bad?" Mo Qiang asked with her hands behind her head. "I mean, I have this feeling that mer dislikes me more than he dislikes you."
"You indeed did something wrong," Mo Xifeng told Mo Qiang about the good things that she had done to Mo Wan before adding, "But I believe that the reason Uncle Xu dislikes you has something to do with Daddy Wen. I have seen the two of them going at each other's throats quite a lot of time."
When she was young, she had seen Xu Mi make a lot of inconsiderate remarks at Wen Gui, which became the source of quarrel for the two of them. Though she had no idea why Xu Mi disliked Wen Gui, she could still make the connection between his dislike towards Mo Qiang which was linked through Wen Gui.
MO Qiang: "..." So, all this while I was carrying my father's debt?
When Mo Qiang heard Mo Xifeng's response, she gritted her teeth angrily. If she had known that this debt was originally Wen Gui's, she would not have come here at all. To think that she was scolded and looked down on by that mer to the point that she started questioning whether she had acted like a monster, all because of her daddy!
And yet it was her daddy who pushed her into this fire pit!
Mo Qiang was angry!
Mo Qiang was upset!
