Chapter 142: The Second Destined Person is Amiss
Note: I will Try to update everyday so I hope you support the story
[Oh my goodness, The Destined Man's experience could absolutely trounce 90% of drama plots. Not that it's good, but simply because there are so many twists and turns.]
[So how does this count? The Destined Man remarried after losing his memory. Does that still constitute bigamy?]
[It should, after all, he's still the same person. But it really depends on what The Destined Man's ex-wife says. If she insists on pressing charges, the court might very well rule against him.]
The netizens finally understood the sequence of events, and their minds immediately opened up, discussing the nature of the situation. The comments varied between good and bad, reflecting the complicated circumstances,
primarily the Destined Man's intention behind the second marriage and his state at the time. He wasn't the type to knowingly commit a crime; in fact, he hadn't even consummated the marriage with his second wife. This undoubtedly greatly reduced the netizens' negative feelings.
But they weren't the parties involved and couldn't decide the final outcome for them; they could only voice their own perspectives.
Qin Rourou listened to his experiences over the years and couldn't help but fall silent. She looked at him sternly and asked, "Words alone mean nothing. How can you prove that you truly looked for us?"
The moment this question left her lips, the netizens instantly knew the answer. Qin Rourou wasn't being overly emotional either, because putting herself in his shoes, she might have made the same choice if she had lost her memory.
Therefore, what was more important to her was whether he, after recovering his memory, had tried to find her. If he had, it meant he still cared about her and their orphaned child, and that would be enough for her. After all, at her age, she was no longer at a point where she cared solely about love and affection; knowing that he cared was sufficient.
As for if he hadn't looked, it wouldn't matter either. Twenty years could change too much, and she would simply conclude that she had overestimated their feelings.
"Don't worry, it won't affect you two," Qin Rourou glanced at her son's hesitant expression and shook her head. She was a clear-headed person; no matter the outcome, she wouldn't involve the younger generation. Especially since they liked each other without knowing the truth, they absolutely shouldn't be affected by the grievances of the previous generation.
Though it was inappropriate, Zhou Jiahao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then he looked at The Destined Man, his gaze a mix of inquiry and novelty. In his memory, the latter only existed in photographs,
a taboo topic his mother couldn't bear to mention. Now, the man stood before him, the father of his girlfriend, no blood relation, but the feeling was indescribably awkward.
Proof? The Destined Man's expression turned a little embarrassed. He knew that the people he had hired to search back then were all swindlers who had taken his money and disappeared without a trace. How could they have left any proof? That would have been pure trouble for himself.
Seeing him stammer, the expressions of the three people in the private room turned sour. The Destined Man grew anxious.
Just then, Yaoyao's clear, childish voice rang out.
"Pretty auntie, I can prove it for uncle!"
The private room was already quiet, making even small movements distinct. Not to mention now, no one present had expected The Destined Man to still have the video call open?
"Yes, The Master can testify for me!" The latter's eyes instantly lit up at her words. He grabbed onto it like a last straw, nodding repeatedly.
"This child is the Master you spoke of?" Qin Rourou walked over. Then, seeing the live stream's content, her face instantly turned ashen.
"If this is how you're going to be, you might as well have just told me you didn't look."
She had sensed something was off from his voice, that it was too vague. Who knew she was still being given a vague answer. This filled her with a sense of being played. Glaring fiercely at him, Qin Rourou turned to leave. After all, if he was being so perfunctory, there was no point in pushing the matter further.
But before she could walk out of frame, the latter's words made her body tremble, forcing her to a halt.
"Pretty auntie, your Hall of Impression shows shimmering peach blossoms. Has someone been pursuing you recently?"
"Oh? And it's a rotten peach blossom. That's a bad person with domestic violence tendencies, auntie, you shouldn't agree to him."
Qin Rourou looked back, her eyes wide with shock, her voice filled with disbelief: "You... how do you know?"
She couldn't be blamed for her strong reaction. The fact that someone was pursuing her was something she hadn't even told her son.
Not only did she have no intention of remarrying, but her son was also busy preparing for his marriage, and she didn't want to distract him at such a critical juncture. Therefore, this matter should have been known only to her.
Yet, this little child had revealed it. Qin Rourou's expression was incredibly complex for a moment. When she had chatted with her neighbors, she had indeed learned from their mouths that the man pursuing her had some character issues.
She even guessed that? This can no longer be considered a coincidence. She really is a Master, Zhou Jingnuo didn't lie to me!
Qin Rourou's expression softened. "Since there's a Master to testify for you, then I'll believe you."
Hearing this, The Destined Man let out a long sigh of relief. He thanked her profusely.
"No need to be polite, uncle, this is how it should be."
Yaoyao nodded, smiling. The reason she spoke up so proactively was simply that she saw the red thread of fate between The Destined Man and Qin Rourou hadn't completely broken. This meant that the two would eventually come together, though with many twists and turns. Her intervention was merely accelerating the process.
And this day wouldn't be far off, because The Destined Man's amnesia would soon fully recover. He would remember his past, and he would be a completely changed man. Not only would he strive to make up for his past lack of responsibility, but his emotional understanding would also blossom like a clueless person suddenly enlightened.
Because of this unexpected relationship, the family formed by The Destined Man's children would also be exceptionally harmonious, a truly complete ending.
"The matter has been resolved, so I'll end the live stream now!"
Yaoyao saw there was nothing more she needed to do. The family, reunited after a long separation, probably had many private things to say. With the latter's thanks, she reached out and ended the live stream.
In the solo live stream room, the netizens' comments became much bolder. After all, it wasn't good to get too wild in front of the parties involved.
[The Master's first draw today was a royal flush!]
[The complex social relationships of humanity are perfectly embodied in this family. It's better not to let the next generation know, or their brains will surely overheat.]
[But there are benefits too: their family will never have mother-in-law/daughter-in-law conflicts, nor marital discord. After all, whether they divorce or not, they'll still be eating at the same dinner table.]
The mental image was too strong, and the netizens were roaring with laughter.
Yaoyao, seeing this, didn't stop them. She took a big, satisfying sip of iced bayberry juice. The sweet and sour taste instantly swept away her weariness.
"Time for the next draw, everyone get ready!"
She cheerfully reminded the netizens in the live stream, then initiated the second random selection.
Soon, the second destined person was freshly revealed. The person was a girl in her twenties. Her appearance was not outstanding; her only striking feature was her fairness. Her exposed skin was as white as congealed jade.
Netizens exclaimed in wonder, praising The Destined Person as the pinnacle of cool-toned fair skin. Such a complexion, they said, would truly stand out in reality, greatly enhancing one's demeanor.
However, Yaoyao's expression changed instantly. She couldn't sense a trace of life force from the latter.
She is a dead person!
