Master, Your Wife Has Become a Super Star Through Fortune-Telling-Chapter 23 - 25: Escape

As the man spoke, he casually spat on the ground, then scuffed it with the toe of his shoe.

His expression was nonchalant, as if he didn’t notice the strange looks from the people around them.

"Are you really willing to let your life end like this? If you escape now, you can still have a bright future."

Su Nian frowned as she tried to persuade her.

The stream comments flew by even more densely.

[Yeah, you’re still so young!]

[Listen to me, so what if they have photos? Find a place where no one knows you and start over!]

[Honey, if you’re willing, you can come to my company. I run a postpartum care agency, and we send a group of people to work abroad every year.]

[That’s right, if you’re willing to try, there’s always a way!]

Tears of indignation streamed down her face. She had sacrificed more than enough for this family over the years.

She refused to go on like this.

She had to leave, to escape this suffocating family.

She finally made up her mind. The bus wouldn’t leave for another half hour. There was still plenty of time; anything was possible.

"Mom, I’m going to the restroom."

"Oh, go ahead."

Thinking she had Zhaodi completely under her thumb, the woman acted nonchalantly.

Zhaodi clutched her phone, walking away step by step.

Her hands were trembling. One of them reached for the bottle of Paraquat in her bag.

’If this doesn’t work, I’m prepared to die.’

But thankfully, she made it to the restroom without the couple growing suspicious.

However, it was a small-town station, and it was always so small. The crowd was sparse now, and she had no idea how she could leave this place safely.

She was terrified that her so-called mother would pull out her photos in front of all these people.

"Turn left. There’s an emergency exit!"

Su Nian’s voice came through again.

Zhaodi glanced over and saw that there was indeed a small door.

Above it was a sign with glowing green letters: EMERGENCY EXIT.

Her heart was pounding, THUMP-THUMP-THUMP. With every step, sweat slowly beaded on her forehead.

[This is so nerve-wracking...]

[Young lady, just listen carefully. Master Bailian is the real deal. She can definitely get you out of this.]

[Yeah, you have to listen to the streamer! She can really save you!]

Once she was inside the corridor, Su Nian spoke again.

"Now, walk straight ahead and exit the station! In one minute, a taxi will pull up. Get in and go to the Dragon Hotel."

Su Nian didn’t explain herself, simply repeating the instructions twice in a concise and efficient manner.

Having reached the end of the emergency corridor, Zhaodi steeled herself, picked up her pace, and broke into a run.

The wind WHOOSHED past her ears, but it carried the scent of freedom. Her heart hammered in her chest with excitement.

’I really do have a chance to restart my life!’

At that moment, Xu Shufen, who was waiting for the bus, glanced around.

A bad feeling crept into her heart.

"Da Wei, I’m going to the restroom. I’ll check on that damn girl while I’m at it!"

Her steps were hurried. As soon as she got near the restroom, she began to shout frantically.

"Zhaodi! Zhaodi! Chen Zhaodi!"

When no one answered, she even started knocking on the stall doors one by one.

This earned her a lot of complaints.

"Are you crazy?!"

"What Zhaodi? I’m trying to use the toilet here, what are you knocking for!"

After circling the restroom twice, she finally confirmed it: her daughter had actually run away!

Just then, Su Nian’s tone became urgent.

"Hurry, exit the station! The couple found out you’re gone. If you don’t leave now, it’ll be too late!"

Hearing this, the girl froze for a second. But in the next moment, she summoned all her strength and ran for the station exit.

She had already rehearsed her lines in her head. She said naturally, "Sir, my mom is dying! I have to go back, I’m not taking the bus anymore!"

Seeing the girl’s desperate expression, looking as if she was about to burst into tears, the staff member at the exit didn’t give her any trouble.

After successfully exiting the station, Chen Zhaodi bolted for the roadside just as a taxi pulled to a stop.

An announcement from inside the station already reached her ears.

"A mentally ill girl named Chen Zhaodi, wearing a butter-yellow sweater, has gone missing in the station. If you see her, please contact her parents. The contact information is..."

Chen Zhaodi hadn’t even caught her breath when she jumped into the car. "To the Dragon Hotel! Quickly!"

"Huh? Oh!"

The driver was a bit stunned. He had just come to a full stop when a customer rushed in. ’Guess I’m pretty lucky,’ he thought.

Without another word, the driver pulled away smoothly.

[I’m literally crying...]

[She finally escaped!]

[I think I just vaguely heard the announcement. It sounded like they said Zhaodi is mentally ill and they need to find her!]

[That couple, I swear, they should just die!]

The taxi drove steadily and stopped at the hotel entrance.

Chen Zhaodi paid the fare and got out.

She looked around blankly at the unfamiliar surroundings. Her heart, which had just started to calm down in the car, instantly leaped back into her throat.

"Walk forward. My directional tracker shows that your parents are in this hotel!"

Chen Zhaodi’s heart began to race with excitement again. Just then, a little girl dressed like a doll came running out.

"Mommy, I don’t want to drink milk! Milk is gross!"

This was what a pampered girl looked like. Her appearance was a stark contrast to Chen Zhaodi, who stood beside her in slightly tattered clothes.

"Sweetie, you have to drink your milk to grow up big and tall."

A well-dressed woman followed behind the little girl.

Before Chen Zhaodi could even finish feeling envious, she saw the little girl trip over her own feet.

"Hey, be careful!"

In a panic, Chen Zhaodi, who was closest to the little girl, quickly caught her. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

The girl’s voice was bright and clear. "Thank you, Miss!"

But when she saw Chen Zhaodi’s face, she turned back to her mother and whispered, "Hey, Mommy, this big sister looks like Auntie!"

A child of that age, despite trying to keep her voice down, wasn’t very quiet. Carried by the wind, her words were heard by both Chen Zhaodi and the online viewers.

Chen Zhaodi looked up in surprise.

The beautiful woman was about to explain, but she froze when she saw Chen Zhaodi.

Those familiar features, the eyes and brows... they were identical to her sister’s.

And her sister’s child had been lost seventeen years ago.

Her voice began to tremble.

"Child, how old are you...?"

"Eighteen..."

That single word was all it took for Xu Haiying to be certain. There was no mistake.

The girl looked too much like her sister. They were practically identical, as if cast from the same mold. She even bore a slight resemblance to Xu Haiying herself.

Dazed and confused, Chen Zhaodi let Xu Haiying lead her away.

And looking at the woman’s features, which were somewhat similar to her own, a familial bond carved into her very bones seemed to awaken.

Chen Zhaodi, who had always been insecure, sensitive, and unwilling to trust others, didn’t ask a single question and obediently followed her inside.

[She actually found them!]

[Look how similar their features are! There’s no way they’re not related!]

[Did Zhaodi really find her family?]

[I’ve been watching for almost two hours, and I can only relax now. It’s so good that she found her family.]

[Yeah, and look how well-dressed that woman is. Zhaodi’s birth parents are probably rich, too. Zhaodi, you can finally get away from those bloodsuckers.]

Following Xu Haiying all the way, Chen Zhaodi came to stand before her own birth parents.

After so many years apart, the scattered family was reunited.

Before Xu Haiying could even make an introduction, the three of them took one look at each other and couldn’t help but burst into tears.
