Chapter 4 Explodes: The Husband’s Affair Partner Turns Out to Be…
Soon, the live stream screen split into two.
A young woman appeared on the right side of the screen.
Her face was haggard, and her eyes were bloodshot, clearly showing signs of long-term poor sleep.
“Streamer, can you help me find out who my husband is having an affair with?”
As soon as she said this, the comment section immediately exploded.
【Traveling to the Past to Destroy the School: Whoa, it starts off this explosively?】
【Unfinished Fate: The young lady looks so distressed, streamer please help, scumbags and mistresses deserve to be punished!】
【What The Heck Is It To You: Could this be a plant?】
【I’m Just A Commoner: You know your husband is cheating and you’re not rushing to divorce? Are you planning to keep him for the New Year?】
Watching the scrolling comments on the screen, Zhao Dan gently touched her swollen belly and gave a bitter smile.
“I’m not an agent, I just happened to enter this live stream.”
Not divorcing naturally meant she was thinking of the child.
She didn’t want her child to be born fatherless.
She herself grew up in a single-parent family, raised by her mother.
Every time she saw other children acting spoiled with their dads or riding on their dad’s shoulders eating lollipops, she felt especially envious.
Also, because she didn’t have a father, she had endured a lot of discrimination and unfair treatment at school throughout her childhood.
She didn’t want her child to go through the same experience she did.
Shen Chujin’s gaze slowly swept over Zhao Dan’s face, her brows slightly furrowing.
“Do you really want to know who that person is?”
Zhao Dan nodded firmly.
She wanted to find her husband’s affair partner to see if she could appeal to her emotions and reason to make her leave.
She would also pretend nothing happened and live well with her husband.
They would raise their child together.
She could live without love, but she didn’t want her child to grow up without a complete family.
Since she began suspecting her husband of cheating, she had been paying close attention, but so far, she hadn’t found out who the other person was.
Today, she had accidentally entered this live stream room.
So she thought she’d give it a try—if the fortune teller could find out, that would be best. If not, at least she could talk to someone and ease her anxiety and frustration.
Because of this, she hadn’t slept well for nearly half a month.
“After you know the truth, you’ll be a thousand times more miserable than you are now. Even so, do you still want to know?” Shen Chujin asked.
Hearing this, Zhao Dan was stunned for a moment.
A thousand times more miserable?
That meant the person was very likely someone she knew and never expected!
Who could it be?
Zhao Dan hesitated for a second, then looked determined.
“I want to know.”
No matter what, it was better to be clear than confused.
Seeing her insistence, Shen Chujin didn’t want to say more and just gave a gentle warning.
“The truth will drag you into a huge public controversy. If you don’t want to be talked about, I can privately message you the answer after the stream ends.”
【Boss of Xiping Street: Haha, the streamer can’t figure it out, right? That’s a really good excuse, tsk tsk…】
【What The Heck Is It To You: I knew it was a plant. Those two must have planned this in advance, just teasing people without revealing the truth, all for views and attention. I’m out of here. If I keep watching, I’ll feel like a total fool!】
What The Heck Is It To You left the live stream.
【5201314: No! Leaving in the middle of the gossip will shorten your life. Streamer, I beg you, please say it quickly. I’ll die if you don’t tell me.】
【Loves Cute Little Beauties: This isn’t right. The streamer already said that telling the truth will affect the lady and drag her into a big public scandal. Her husband’s affair has already hurt her a lot. We shouldn’t push it.】
【Broken Mentality from Last Job: Exactly, the streamer is being kind by protecting the lady’s privacy. Beautiful and kind-hearted, love her even more!】
Zhao Dan saw the comments from the viewers.
Shen Chujin’s kindness warmed her heart.
She smiled slightly. “Streamer, you can say it. No matter what the result is, I can accept it.”
Hearing this, Shen Chujin no longer insisted.
She slowly said, “You’re very familiar with your husband’s affair partner. She raised you since you were little and is the closest person to you besides your child.”
Before she finished speaking, Zhao Dan’s expression subtly changed.
When the words “that person is your mother” came out, Zhao Dan froze completely.
“Ho… how could this be! You… you’re not lying to me, are you?”
Shen Chujin looked at her seriously. “We don’t know each other, so I have no reason to lie to you. Actually, you already have the answer in your heart, don’t you?”
Zhao Dan’s pupils suddenly trembled.
Her body had never felt so cold, as if she had suddenly been plunged into a thousand-year-old icy pond.
The icy, piercing water felt like countless thorny nails stabbing her body repeatedly, so painful that her breath nearly stopped.
She had thought about everyone around her, even about other men.
But she never thought it could be her own mother!
Recalling all the past events, there were indeed signs.
Now looking back, it was all terrifyingly detailed!
Her husband was introduced to her by her mother!
After marriage, her mother had been living with them all along.
When she wanted to have a child, her husband said not to rush and to let nature take its course.
He often stayed in the study room, using work deadlines as an excuse. Many times, it was only after she fell asleep that he would come into the room.
Her mother also smiled and told her there was no hurry to have children.
“Enjoy your youth more, once you have a child, you won’t be as free.”
At that time, she felt she was the happiest woman in the world.
Other families would rush her to have children, but her family always gave her freedom and seemed to care about her.
Looking back now, maybe they were never really thinking about her — they just didn’t want her to get pregnant!
This child was conceived only once, when her husband got drunk at a dinner with friends.
She remembered how passionate her drunken husband was then, more passionate than ever before.
That time was also the most intense time they had since their marriage.
It turned out it wasn’t that her husband wasn’t interested in that kind of thing, but that the person he was really interested in all along was someone else!
And that person was her mother!
She had even gotten jealous several times, saying that her mother treated her husband better than she, the daughter, was treated.
Of course, back then, she was only joking.
Her mother got along so harmoniously with her husband that it made things easier for her as the daughter caught in the middle, and she felt it was good.
But now…
Everything seemed so absurd and ridiculous!
Her husband was a writer who worked from home.
She was an accountant at a small company, and except for weekends, she was at work almost every day.
In other words, when she was out working, her husband and her mother were alone at home…
Just thinking about some scenes that shouldn’t happen made her stomach churn with nausea.
She quickly got up and vomited by the trash can.
【Dusty Fate Unfinished: Oh my god, what explosive news is this? Mother-in-law and son-in-law… I’m shocked, really shocked!】
【Be a Lazy Cute Person: Only city folks know how to play like this.】
【Tall Potato Princess: You countryside folks sure talk a lot.】
【Don’t Try to Steal My Username: Damn, never expected this ending! Streamer, are you sure your reading is right? It’s really hard to accept. Which man would like an older woman instead of a young, pretty one?】
【Orange: I think so too. The streamer wouldn’t just make this up, right? If it’s true, you deserve to die. Look how upset the lady is.】
【Little Seedling: You can’t generalize. Some people have a mother complex, liking someone much older. Feelings are hard to explain.】
【Kick Me if I’m Wrong: Look, the lady is still pregnant, so pitiful. Just putting myself in her shoes makes me feel suffocated. I really can’t imagine what she’ll do next.】
While the viewers were arguing back and forth and Zhao Dan kept vomiting uncontrollably, the door opened.
A middle-aged woman with lingering charm walked in.
Behind her followed a gentle-looking man wearing framed glasses.
