[ILivestreamDivination] Chapter 33.3 — The Golden Phoenix Man

Seeing her looking as if she had been struck by lightning, the strange woman felt both pain and joy in her heart. She had all kinds of emotions rioting inside her. She talked about her past with Li Jincheng. 

“We were engaged to be married when we were children, and we had a relationship when we were eighteen. We originally agreed that we would get married right after he graduated from college. But after he went to college, he became wild and refused to marry me.

“My parents repeatedly questioned his parents, and his parents were forced to tell us that Li Jincheng had found a baifumei1  in the city, and he was about to become the son-in-law of a rich family, so they wanted me to break up with him.

“But I was pregnant, and his parents wanted me to abort the child. But the doctor said that I would not be able to have a baby anymore after the abortion, so I could only give birth to my child: a boy.

“Their family has only had one son for several generations, so they want this boy very much, but our family was not willing to do so. Li Jincheng, who had gone to graduate school, told me that the baifumei’s parents looked down on him, so he broke up with her. Now we are living together, and after finishing graduate school, we will get married.

“I believed what he said, and later gave birth to a daughter for him. My family waited and waited, and waited, and even though he had already finished studying for a Ph.D., he still didn’t marry me.

“I just met them at the entrance of the village. He and his parents looked away, and I sensed something wrong at first glance. I heard someone from the village say that a beautiful woman had come to their house, and I guessed that it was you.”

The strange woman became angrier and angrier as she talked. In the end, she even gritted her teeth and her whole body was shaking with anger. She had liked this boy who lived next door and was very talented since she was a child, but he has deceived her for so long.

She turned to stare at this baifumei, her eyes falling on her exquisite makeup and hair, her beautiful clothes and expensive bag, and she couldn’t help but laugh at herself.

This baifumei’s facial features were not as good-looking as hers, but all kinds of expensive care have kept her skin in good condition. Her exquisite dress made people feel that she was full of nobility. That beauty was built on top of money, making it completely better than her, a sallow-faced woman who has already given birth to two children.

She worked hard but couldn’t afford to buy a bag, yet this bag of hers was probably just the most common one in this baifumei’s closet.

Faced with ironclad evidence as heavy as a mountain, <I Love Eating Blueberries> fell into a deep silence. After a long time, she said in a hoarse voice, “… Then what do you want to happen when you came here today? Do you want me to break up with him?”

Although she had low self-esteem and lacked love, she was not a brainless person and has already figured out the ins and outs of the matter. She unexpectedly visited her boyfriend’s hometown to give him a surprise, but her boyfriend gave her an even bigger ‘surprise’.

Her parents didn’t agree to their marriage in the beginning, and her boyfriend originally thought that he might not be able to catch her, so he held on to this other girl.

Joyfully pedaling on two boats and enjoy the blessings of being together with two women.

No wonder he liked watching parenting videos so much. It turned out that he was not watching them for their future children but for his own son and daughter!

She thought that the strange woman would agree wholeheartedly. After all, she already had a son and a daughter with her boyfriend and would definitely want her to leave them alone.

In fact, there was no need for this woman to tell her this—<I Love Eating Blueberries> already planned to do it. She had low self-esteem, but she was not without self-esteem. Now that Prince Charming’s mask has been lifted, she felt sick just thinking about what’s underneath.

The woman outside the window shook her head and said lightly, “I’m just here to deliver the wine. Remember not to say it was from me.”

At this time, there was the sound of footsteps approaching from the distance, and the excited talk between her boyfriend and his parents gradually reached their ears.

When the woman heard this, she said nothing, simply turned around and left.

The video call was never hung up, and this unexpected emotional entanglement was livestreamed in full.

[Damn it, I just said that the destined person’s head is a little green, I am a great prophet!]

[This way of being green really scares me. Let me tell you a ghost story: the boyfriend I am marrying actually has a wife!]

[Ordinary phoenix men always cheat after getting rich, but this phoenix man already has a wife and children. Good guys, this is the superior version of the Phoenix Man—a Golden Phoenix Man!]

[Think on the bright side: he already has a son and a daughter, so she would become a mother without birth pains.]

[I boldly speculate on the plans of the predestined guest’s boyfriend. First, he settles his wife in his hometown, and then marries the baifumei in the city. With the help of his father-in-law’s family connections, he will rise to the top and lead his rural family to a class leap. Then he will stop pretending with his wife and bring his mistress and children into the house openly.]

[Your boyfriend and his parents are here. Predestined guest, run away. You cannot stay in this kind of family.]

[Plus one, take care that it doesn’t get exposed that you already know what happened. If they can’t get more money from you, they might have evil intentions.]

<I Love Eating Blueberries> lowered her head and said after a long silence, “Master, this must be my disaster.”

Seeing that her journey to love was so bumpy, An Rugu sighed. “That’s right.”

Reading these barrages, <I Love Eating Blueberries> also realized that her situation was a bit dangerous.

The once gentle boyfriend had another face hidden under his skin: deceitful, cunning, evil…

What if he learns that she had discovered his true identity, that he was cheating on her? This was a remote area, and if she was murdered and buried without a trace, it would be difficult for her parents to even find her body.

<I Love Eating Blueberries> held the bottle of erguotou and suddenly remembered something. That woman didn’t want her to break up with him and expose what happened to her. It seemed… it was for her own good.

She clutched the bottle in her hand, her mind was in a mess, and she very much regretted going to her boyfriend’s hometown alone.
