Master, Your Wife Has Become a Super Star Through Fortune-Telling-Chapter 22 - 24: Biological Parents

"I didn’t want to do it, but who would’ve thought they’d take naked pictures of me!"

"I’m only eighteen, but the host said I could live to be eighty. That means I have to be controlled by my family for all those years. I really can’t take it anymore. And now there’s a baby brother... I already know my whole life will be sacrificed for him!"

Her eyes were red, and her expression was already a little crazed.

"My whole life is ruined!"

[This is so tragic. I seriously can’t help but want to cry.]

[I also escaped from a family that favored boys over girls. But even now, I still wake up terrified at night. I’m so scared... of a sudden slap, a flurry of punches and kicks.]

[As a woman, I truly despise families that favor boys over girls.]

[I don’t think it’s just about favoring boys. It seems like her parents are just plain awful to her.]

"I really don’t want to live like this anymore. Today is my eighteenth birthday. This room... I’ve been renting it for two years since I ran away from home. I know it’s wrong to die here, it’s not fair to the landlord, but I’m out of options..."

Her gaze fell upon the Paraquat on the table, her eyes filled with grim determination.

[I really can’t believe there are parents who would do something like this.]

[Why don’t you just run away? Marrying a cripple and killing yourself are both terrible options.]

But Xingfu said no more. She earnestly finished a whole bowl of instant noodles, washed the bowl, and then prepared to leave with the Paraquat.

"I’ve changed my mind. I’m going to die in front of them. They want to trade me for a bride price, don’t they? I’ll make them watch their little dream go up in smoke!"

The girl’s voice held a hint of triumph, but it couldn’t hide the bitterness behind it.

[Sister, I really want to talk you out of it, but if I were in your shoes, I probably wouldn’t have been able to hold on this long either.]

More netizens were left speechless. Here was a vibrant young life... They wanted to dissuade her, but putting themselves in her shoes, they knew they wouldn’t have been able to endure it either.

[Are you taking a bus home now?]

[I’m seriously tearing up. I grew up in the countryside too. The thought of her taking a long, bumpy bus ride just to go die... I really can’t take it!]

[Sister, your life has been so hard.]

But unexpectedly, the girl just curled her deathly pale lips into a smirk.

"My home is in the countryside, it’s true. But to stop me from running away, my parents have been waiting for me right here at my door."

[Damn it, I really can’t take this anymore!]

[What kind of beastly parents are these? Following their daughter to the city just because they’re afraid she’ll run away!]

[I seriously can’t handle this! What kind of demonic family is this?!]

And sure enough, the moment the girl pushed open her door...

...a plainly, even shabbily, dressed couple stood up.

"You damn bitch, spending so much money to rent such a nice place. You should’ve sent it to your sister so she could eat better."

"Didn’t you say you were coming back to pack your things? Why aren’t you taking anything now?!"

But the girl remained silent, not saying a single word.

"You little slut, I’m talking to you! Are you deaf?!"

"I’ll tell you the truth. For a slut like you who’s been ridden by a thousand men, I was able to marry you off to Li Guijun. You should count yourself lucky!"

"After raising you for so many years, this is all the bride price money I get. I’m not even crying, so what are you pulling a long face for?!"

The girl, who hadn’t reacted until now, finally burst into tears after hearing this.

"I’ve barely spent any of your money my whole life! I paid for my own elementary school tuition by collecting bottles! And after I started working, how much money did I send home?!"

"You little slut, you dare talk back to me? Did the food and drink you had when you were little not cost money?!"

The man grew more and more furious, even grabbing a broom.

The girl subconsciously raised her arm to block, but then she heard her mother’s voice.

"Da Wei, don’t hit her."

A flicker of hope appeared in her eyes. ’Maybe Mom does love me a little bit after all.’

"She’s getting married tomorrow! It’ll be bad if Li Guijun sees bruises on her!"

That glimmer of hope felt like a heavy slap, falling mercilessly.

But her so-called father turned and gave the woman two hard slaps across the face.

"Look at the fine daughter you raised!"

The woman clutched her face. Though it hurt, she seemed accustomed to it.

Her face red and swollen, she mumbled indistinctly, "Enough. Don’t waste any more time. Let’s just take her back first!"

[I knew it was disgusting, but I never thought it’d be *this* disgusting!]

[Can these people really be called parents?]

[This is so suffocating. I’m seriously about to cry watching this.]

The girl, her expression numb, voluntarily followed her so-called parents home.

How ironic. Home...

"And you, what are you doing with that phone? Give it to me. I’ll sell it and save the money for your brother!"

Her brother had just been born and was only a few months old, but her "dear" parents were already planning to carve off her flesh and blood to feed him.

Holding the phone, she forced a smile.

"Goodbye everyone. This is goodbye for good..."

With that, she was about to hang up.

But just then, she heard Su Nian’s voice.

"I suggest you get a DNA test. You are not their child."

The girl’s expression was one of shock and doubt, but in the end, she just gave a faint, indifferent smile.

"Whatever. I figured as much..."

[I’m literally crying.]

[Was she abducted?]

[If you look closely, the girl’s features are actually very pretty. She looks nothing like that buck-toothed couple!]

The girl still maintained an attitude of indifference. ’So what if they’re not my biological parents? I can’t escape anyway.’

’Even if I found my birth parents, so what? Maybe they abandoned me on purpose. What if they’re just another family of bloodsuckers? Or, in a better scenario, maybe they would cherish me, but having a daughter like me would only cause them trouble.’

But Su Nian’s voice came again.

"Go find your birth parents. They love you very much, and they have the means to save you from this predicament."

"What?"

The girl’s expression flickered. If you can live a good life, who wouldn’t want to Stay Alive?

But the next second, her tone deflated again. "They have my pictures..."

As she spoke of it again, her eyes couldn’t help but turn red.

Even if she wasn’t their biological daughter, she had slaved away for them for so many years. Why wouldn’t they just let her go?

"Don’t worry, your birth parents will help you solve this. But if your heart is set on dying, then there’s probably nothing anyone can do."

The girl pressed her lips together. They had already arrived at the bus station.

All sorts of dust-covered buses were parked there.

The girl only slowed down for a moment to look around the bus station, and she was immediately met with another torrent of abuse.

"Hurry up! What are you looking around for? You think you can go back to your good old days?!"

The man played the bad cop, while the woman took on the role of the good cop.

"Zhaodi, I know Mom took your pictures, but I had no choice. Even though you’ll be married and won’t be as free as before, Zhang Guijun promised us that he would definitely treat you well."

The girl lowered her eyes, her expression full of disdain.

"But didn’t he beat his first wife until she was disabled?"

The words had barely left her lips when the man began to roar with anger again.

"Stop making a scene! Just marry him obediently and that’s it! Don’t be so damn scheming!"
