Online Fortune Telling: Your Son Has Another Dad-Chapter 272 - 270: Unbearable Memories

"Madam, if my calculations are correct, you are not from Dragon Country."

"You and your husband are just nominally a couple; you are not actually married."

"And your husband’s surname is not Qi, but Zhao..."

While Lu Heng spoke, he found the super moderator of the live stream and typed a message to send.

After the super moderator replied with an OK emoji, he smiled with satisfaction.

Upon hearing these words, the middle-aged woman instantly widened her eyes, showing a look of shock.

From her reaction, it was clear that these things were true.

"Could it be that the son told him?"

The middle-aged woman glanced sideways at Qi.

At this moment, Qi was standing there with his mouth agape, a look of disbelief on his face.

Seeing her son’s expression, she quickly dismissed her own thoughts.

Since she and her husband changed their names, they never mentioned the past.

So, regarding these matters, Qi definitely knew nothing.

"What is this Daoist’s true identity?"

"How could he know such detailed information?"

"Could he really have figured it out on his own?"

The more the middle-aged woman thought, the more uneasy she became.

"Mom, you... you’re not from Dragon Country?"

After regaining his senses, Qi spoke up in astonishment.

"Don’t listen to this Daoist’s nonsense; how could mom be a foreigner?"

The middle-aged woman quickly shook her head, denying it.

"Then isn’t my dad’s surname Zhao?"

Qi continued to ask.

"Your dad’s surname is not Zhao; he’s Qi!"

The middle-aged woman kept denying it.

"This... this..."

After his mother repeatedly denied it, Qi was dumbfounded.

The Daoist had never been wrong before when reading fortunes.

If that’s the case, could it be that his mother was lying to him?

Faced with the middle-aged woman’s denial, Lu Heng smiled faintly, unfazed.

He continued unhurriedly, "At the age of fourteen, you smuggled into Dragon Country with several fellow villagers."

"In the following years, you worked illegally in a certain province in the Southwest."

"Because you weren’t from Dragon Country, you couldn’t earn much, and when bullied by hooligans, you didn’t dare to call the police."

"Fortunately, you were very smart back then, quickly learning the Dragon Country language, and blended better than your fellow villagers..."

The viewers were visibly surprised by Lu Heng’s narration.

"Who would’ve thought, this aunt is actually a foreign friend?"

"Considering her current age, it means that when she was fourteen, it was decades ago?"

"No wonder she repeatedly refused to have her fortune read; she was hiding such a secret!"

"Everything the Daoist said must be true! Doesn’t this mean this aunt is still undocumented?"

"Certainly! It’s quite difficult to obtain citizenship in Dragon Country."

"It’s easy to leave, but hard to come back!"

"No wonder Qi’s mom didn’t marry Qi’s dad; without documentation, how could they settle down?"

"Then the question is, what about Qi’s registration?"

"Qi’s mom isn’t from Dragon Country, but his dad is!"

"Would revealing this secret cause Qi’s mom to be deported?"

"Very likely! No wonder the Daoist said before that once the secret was revealed, the family would fall apart..."

Seeing the barrage of messages flashing across the screen, Qi couldn’t describe his shock with words.

Could his mother actually be a foreigner?

And undocumented!

If the authorities found out, she would undoubtedly be deported...

If that were true, then his family really would be doomed!

"You... you’re spouting nonsense!"

"I am from Dragon Country, not smuggled in!"

The middle-aged woman hurriedly defended herself.

However, anyone could see from her tense and uneasy demeanor that she was lying.

Truthfully, she never expected her secret to be revealed by an unfamiliar Daoist.

Lu Heng disregarded her quibbling and continued, "Later, unable to bear the conditions of illegal work and not wanting to return home to marry early."

"So, you hooked up with a bachelor, hoping he would take you away from here."

"That bachelor was very kind to you, spending generously, and later took you on a train to the provincial capital."

"But not long after, you realized this bachelor was all show and no substance."

"He was not wealthy, just a thief."

"The bachelor thought that with his skills, he could definitely make it in the provincial capital."

"But on the first day of returning to his old ways, he was caught in the act and taken to the police station."

"Disappointed, you didn’t wait for the bachelor’s return, but instead took the remaining money and fled to a neighboring city to work..."

As Lu Heng narrated, the middle-aged woman’s mind involuntarily drifted back over forty years.

The unbearable past experiences resurfaced one after another before her eyes.

Her eyes unavoidably flickered with fear and panic.

"No... we won’t count it!"

"Stop! We won’t count it!"

The middle-aged woman trembled, shaking her head frantically as if going mad.

Then she hurriedly tugged her son’s arm, signaling Qi to quickly end the broadcast.

"Mom..."

Qi remained unmoved, staring intently at his mother and asked in a deep voice, "Are all the things the Daoist said true?"

"No... no..."

The middle-aged woman shook her head vigorously, reaching out to turn off the computer.

"Mom!"

"What exactly have you all been hiding from me?"

Qi immediately grabbed his mother’s arm, his eyes reddening.

"Son, I... I..."

The middle-aged woman wanted to say something.

But past experiences made it impossible for her to open up.

"Let me say it instead!"

At this moment, Lu Heng spoke again, "While you were working in the neighboring city, you met a local influential man."

"This man was wealthy, with many subordinates, and was very prominent at the time."

"Because of your childhood experiences, you greatly admired such a man. He, in turn, desired your beauty, and so you hit it off and became involved."

"But later, as the city police cracked down, his group was either arrested or fled elsewhere to be caught."

"You didn’t have deep connections with them, so the police overlooked you."

"Daring not to stay and work any longer, you set off again, arriving in a small southern city."

"In this small city, you opened a breakfast shop, which was quite profitable."

"Years later, you unexpectedly ran into that influential man again."

"The old feelings quickly rekindled, and you got involved with him again."

"The influential man seemed genuinely moved by you, constantly giving you money and gifts, even a car later on."

"But as your contact deepened, you faintly sensed that his wealth might not have been acquired legitimately."

"Finally, one day, you discovered the truth—that he had been involved in trafficking women and children..."
