Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Lovesick Women Are Easier to Deceive!

Shen Zhiyao: “Mm, good. As long as you’re okay.”

Hao Qishi pointed the camera at the box of dowry jewelry and asked blankly, “Host, what should I do with this dowry?”

Shen Zhiyao glanced at it, saw that the yin energy on the gold had dissipated, and said, “Go ahead and spend it! There won’t be any consequences!”

“Okay.”

[Hao Qishi sent Carnival x5]

After the video call ended, the bullet comments in Shen Zhiyao’s stream immediately started flying:

[Damn, the host’s move was slick as hell! That was like a prediction within a prediction!]

[The host is the real deal, I’m following! From now on, I’m watching the host’s stream every day! This is so exciting, better than any TV drama!]

[Ziyou tried to screw someone over and ended up getting screwed himself, that’s karma! We all need to have a conscience, or we’ll end up like him, with no place to even be buried!]

[Sigh, people who do nothing but bad things will definitely get what’s coming to them. So satisfying!]

In just one night, Shen Zhiyao’s follower count grew by another several hundred thousand.

Some older women even came to her stream to spam lollipops, thanking her for exposing the scumbag’s true colors.

Taking this opportunity, Shen Zhiyao told her audience, “Let me offer a piece of advice: always cherish the people who are good to you. It’s okay to say a few bad things now and then, but don’t harbor malicious intentions toward those close to you. Otherwise, you’ll face retribution.”

…

After the stream ended, Shen Zhiyao quickly received a private message from Li Xiaomu:

[Host, I’d like to ask, will my divorce go smoothly this time?]

[Xiao Shen’s Divination: You need to divorce as soon as possible. If you drag it out, he’ll become unwilling to go through with it.]

[Li Xiaomu: Host, I really want to have a child of my own, preferably a girl. I want to ask if I’ll be able to have my own children in the future?]

[Xiao Shen’s Divination: Three months after your divorce, you will meet your fated partner. A year after that, you will give birth to twin daughters.]

Seeing this message, Li Xiaomu was so moved she started to cry.

She had been pregnant with three children before, but she was never able to carry them to term.

She had always thought it was her fault and had drunk countless bitter traditional medicines for it. Only now did she know that the problem had been with Chen Ning all along.

’It turns out that once you leave the wrong person, life really can become this wonderful.’

[Li Xiaomu: So, will I be able to divorce him in the end?]

[Xiao Shen’s Divination: Try going to Zhang Yueyue.]

Li Xiaomu instantly understood what Shen Zhiyao meant.

The next day, she got Zhang Yueyue’s contact information from an acquaintance. Around nine in the morning, she arrived at Zhang Yueyue’s home carrying two cases of milk.

Mrs. Zhang answered the door. She didn’t recognize Li Xiaomu and asked, looking puzzled, “Excuse me, are you…?”

Li Xiaomu put on a sweet smile. “I’m an old friend of Yueyue’s. I came especially to see her!”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhang happily let her in.

Li Xiaomu spoke first, asking, “Auntie, how is Yueyue doing now?”

Mrs. Zhang smiled and replied, “Much better now. It’s been so many years since the incident, but she isn’t as cheerful as she used to be. She doesn’t have many friends now, so I’m especially happy you’re here. Over the years, Yueyue has slowly started to move on, but her personality isn’t as lively as before, and she doesn’t talk much anymore. She just shuts herself in her room all day. She’s in there right now. Why don’t you go in and talk to her yourself?”

“Okay.”

Li Xiaomu knocked, then pushed the door open and went inside.

When Zhang Yueyue saw her, her pretty face was filled with astonishment.

She never would have imagined that Chen Ning’s wife would one day take the initiative to come find her.

Li Xiaomu spoke first, her tone gentle. “Hello, Yueyue.”

Zhang Yueyue’s expression flickered with a hint of bitterness. “Are you here to laugh at me?”

Back then, there had been an accident during her abortion procedure, and she had completely lost the ability to have children. Chen Ning abandoned her on the spot and turned around to marry Li Xiaomu.

She had never forgotten it.

“No, no, no, don’t get the wrong idea!” Li Xiaomu explained with a wry smile. “I’m about to divorce Chen Ning…”

Zhang Yueyue was shocked. “Why? Did he cheat on you?”

“He did cheat, but that’s not why I’m divorcing him.” As she spoke, Li Xiaomu took out her phone, found a recording of Shen Zhiyao’s livestream that a netizen had saved, and handed it to Zhang Yueyue.

After watching the video, Zhang Yueyue couldn’t help but burst out laughing. She laughed so hard that tears started streaming down her face. “HAHAHA, I can’t believe that scumbag is finally getting what he deserves! This feels so good!”

In the living room, Mrs. Zhang heard the long-absent sound of her daughter’s laughter coming from her room and shed tears of relief.

It had been six whole years, and this was the first time her daughter had laughed so happily.

Zhang Yueyue wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and grabbed Li Xiaomu’s hand excitedly. “Thank you for telling me all this. Otherwise, I might have spent the rest of my life living in that scumbag’s shadow.”

After calming down, Zhang Yueyue looked at Li Xiaomu and asked directly, “Alright, tell me. Why did you really come to see me?”

Li Xiaomu stated her idea plainly: “I want you to pretend to get back together with Chen Ning, and at the same time, demand that he finalize his divorce proceedings with me as soon as possible.”

Zhang Yueyue nodded immediately. “I can do that! It’s the best way for me to get my revenge on him, too.”

Not long after Li Xiaomu left, Chen Ning did indeed contact Zhang Yueyue on his own initiative.

At first, Chen Ning was worried Zhang Yueyue would resent him. He never expected that when she heard his voice on the phone, she would be so happy she started crying, and then spent half an hour telling him how much she had missed him.

Chen Ning’s worries vanished instantly. He thought to himself, ’Looks like this woman is even more lovesick than Li Xiaomu. She’ll be easier to fool.’

On the phone, Chen Ning lied, claiming he and Li Xiaomu had been in a loveless marriage for six years and were currently getting a divorce. He also said he had never been able to forget Zhang Yueyue and wanted to see her.

The next evening, Chen Ning asked Zhang Yueyue out. The two of them watched a movie and took a walk in the park.

During their conversation, Zhang Yueyue “agreed” on the spot to get back together with him.

Just as they were about to part ways, Chen Ning suddenly dropped to one knee, pulled out a ring, and proposed to Zhang Yueyue. “Yueyue, give me another chance. Let’s start over.”

Zhang Yueyue pretended to be so moved she shed tears, choking out, “I will!”

Chen Ning slipped the ring onto her finger and pulled her into his embrace, whispering sweet nothings, “It’s only at this moment that I’m sure… the one I’ve always loved most is you…”

Listening to his words, Zhang Yueyue felt nothing but disgust, but on the surface, she maintained a blissful act. “But… I can’t have children anymore…”

“I don’t care! I just want to grow old with you! If you can’t have children, we can adopt one later.” Chen Ning immediately declared, not mentioning a single word about his own infertility.

Zhang Yueyue sneered inwardly. ’If Li Xiaomu hadn’t told me everything yesterday, I might have actually fallen for his words tonight. I might have even been grateful to Chen Ning.’

She played along with him. “Since you feel that way, then you should finalize the divorce with Li Xiaomu as soon as possible. My mom is trying to set me up on a blind date in the next couple of days.”

Hearing this, Chen Ning grew anxious and quickly promised, “Don’t worry, I’ll go finalize the divorce with Li Xiaomu tomorrow!”

“Good!”

Seeing him fall into the trap, Zhang Yueyue smiled.

After learning that Zhang Yueyue was willing to marry him, Chen Ning’s whole family was overjoyed.

To divorce Li Xiaomu as quickly as possible, they even gave up on getting back the jewelry and the betrothal money.

Early the next morning, Chen Ning and Li Xiaomu went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to file for divorce.

After receiving her divorce certificate, Li Xiaomu breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had been given a new lease on life.

The moment Chen Ning stepped out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, he couldn’t wait to call Zhang Yueyue and tell her the good news.

But now, no matter how many times he tried, he couldn’t get through to her…
