I Can See My Son's Evil Plans Through Pop-up Comments

On my first day of retirement, I went to sign up for a tour group.

Just as I was about to pay, strange pop-up comments flashed before my eyes.

[Here he comes! The male protagonist is about to find a caregiver for his paralyzed mother-in-law.]

[No one feels reassured letting strangers care for her—only his own mother will do!]

While I was stunned, my son's phone call came through.

The moment I connected, my son's panicked voice came through.

"Mom, I drove drunk and paralyzed someone. You must help me."

1

"How do you want me to help you?"

I asked in shock and suspicion.

My son immediately said: "I hit Ruirui's mom, Aunt Fu. She and you have never gotten along. At first, she insisted I go to jail."

"Mom, I just got into college. If I go to jail, my life will be ruined."

"It was Ruirui who pleaded for me that Aunt Fu relented. She said as long as we cover her medical expenses and you care for her, this matter will be over. Mom, you'll help me, right?"

My mind went blank.

Fu Hui and I have had grievances for a long time.

Back then, it was Fu Hui who interfered and made me marry my ex-husband, leading to three years of nightmare.

You could say I hate Fu Hui to death.

If not for legal constraints, I would have stabbed her to death long ago.

Now asking me to care for Fu Hui would be more painful than killing me.

Seeing I didn't speak, my son became anxious.

"Mom, just bear with it for me. I just became an adult and have a bright future ahead. I don't want to ruin my entire life. Mom, please save me."

My son's voice choked with tears.

My heart instantly softened.

Just as I was about to agree subconsciously, the pop-up comments before me began scrolling again.

[Quickly agree! As long as the mother-in-law cares for the mother-in-law, the male and female protagonists can begin their sweet college life!]

[The male protagonist really dotes on the female lead! To let her study without worries, he sacrificed his own mother!]

[The female lead was originally hesitant, but after this incident, she completely strengthened her determination to be with the male protagonist.]

[But, isn't this a bit unfair to the mother-in-law? She just retired and wants to relax.]

[What's unfair about it? This is the mother-in-law's honor. To gain a good daughter-in-law like Ruirui is a blessing accumulated over ten lifetimes. Now, being a caregiver for thirty years is nothing.]

From the comments, I learned that I was just a background character mother-in-law in a sweet romance novel.

In the original story, the female lead Su Ruirui's mother, Fu Hui, fell down the stairs and became paralyzed.

At this time, it happened to be when Su Ruirui was admitted to college.

In the female lead's nightmare-like life, the male protagonist Xu Jun appeared.

He had loved the female lead for many years and now stepped forward without hesitation.

He called me, falsely claiming he had paralyzed someone while driving drunk.

To reach a settlement and avoid jail, he begged me, who had just retired, to work as a caregiver at the female lead's mother's home.

From then on, the male and female protagonists began their sweet college romance.

And I would pack my bags to care for the female lead's mother for thirty years.

Finally, the female lead's mother died from complications.

The female lead was heartbroken.

The male protagonist took his anger out on me and sent me, worn out from overwork, to the countryside.

Less than a month later, I died.

Half a month after my death, my body was found when it started to rot.

My eyes couldn't even close in death.

Finally, when the male protagonist found out, he only said: This is my retribution for not diligently caring for my mother-in-law. I hope you'll be a good person in your next life.

A thousand mud horses galloped through my heart.

Be a good person, my ass!

What kind of vicious plot is this!

I still couldn't believe that my son, who had always been excellent in character and studies, well-behaved and filial, could be as vicious and selfish as described in the book.

For a woman, to harm his own mother like this.

"Mom, if you really find it difficult, then I'll turn myself in at the police station."

2

"Good, go ahead."

"I knew you loved me most... what! Mom, what did you just say?"

On the other end of the phone, Xu Jun's joyful voice instantly turned to shock.

But I slowly said: "Junjun, you're an adult now. You need to take responsibility for your own mistakes."

There was a pause of several seconds on the other end, and I could hear his breathing become heavy.

"Mom, I just got into a prestigious university. With such a bright future ahead, can you bear to destroy it?"

I said helplessly: "I still say the same thing—everyone must take responsibility for their own mistakes."

The other end immediately became angry and ashamed: "Are you this heartless? Are you completely abandoning this son? If you ignore me today, don't expect me to support you in your old age."

I decided to give him one last chance: "Tell me the specific situation, and let's solve it through legal channels together. The premise is that you must tell me the truth."

"Hmph! I don't need you! I don't have such a heartless and ungrateful mother!"

The other end had already hung up the phone.

Having given birth to such a worthless son, I really wish I had strangled him at birth.

I composed myself and signed up for the tour group as planned.

I had a good time traveling for a week. During that time, the worthless son didn't contact me again.

I thought I could have peaceful days, but the pop-up comments started scrolling again.

[Hehe, the male protagonist is really clever. No wonder he can captivate our precious Ruirui.]

[That's right, the vicious mother-in-law is still traveling here. But she doesn't know the male protagonist has prepared a big gift for her!]

[Looking forward to seeing the expression of this vicious supporting character when she finds out the truth. It must be spectacular!]

What had Xu Jun done?

While my heart was uneasy, I unexpectedly received a call from a distant relative.

"Fangfang, about the 5,000 yuan your Junzi borrowed, with interest it's 6,000. Would it be convenient to return it to me first? My daughter-in-law is about to give birth and urgently needs it."

My head suddenly buzzed. I mumbled a couple of excuses and hung up the phone.

Then I quickly called Xu Jun.

He answered quickly.

"Have you thought it through? If you agree to come care for Aunt Fu, I'll still recognize you as my mother."

"Shut up. Let me ask you—did you borrow money everywhere in my name?"

The other side was righteous: "I'm your son. I have no money to spend in college. Isn't it natural to borrow some money in your name?"

I asked through gritted teeth: "How much did you borrow in total?"

Shen Jun said proudly: "I borrowed 50,000 from relatives, with 8,000 in interest. I borrowed 50,000 from loan sharks, with 15,000 in interest. So you need to pay back a total of 123,000."

I only felt a surge of anger rushing to my head.

"You borrowed the money yourself, you pay it back. I won't get involved."

Then I hung up the phone.

After hanging up, I still felt suffocated by anger.

Ding dong! Ding dong! Ding dong!

The WeChat notification sounds kept ringing. I picked it up and saw it was indeed a message from Shen Jun.

[I've already borrowed the money. You must pay it back, or bear the consequences!]

[I found a caregiver to look after Aunt Fu. That money is to pay the caregiver's salary for one year. If you have any conscience, obediently pay back the money. And then every year thereafter, transfer 100,000 to me as Aunt Fu's caregiver fees.]

[Otherwise, with such a heartless, selfish, and ungrateful mother like you, I won't recognize you anymore.]

He was certain of me, thinking I only had him as a son and would depend on him in old age.

So he was so unscrupulous.

[With such a vicious mother, it's better to be an orphan!]

[That's right. The male protagonist is absolutely correct. The supporting character is selfish, only thinking of her own comfort, not caring at all about her son's life or death.]

[They'll be in-laws in the future. What's wrong with going to care for the future in-law in advance? So stubborn and unchangeable—such a vicious creature!]

The people behind the comments weren't good people either.

As for Xu Jun this son, I had also seen through him. He was just like his father, with selfish blood flowing in his bones.

Relying on him in old age would be less reliable than raising a dog.

So I posted a statement on WeChat Moments disowning him.

Five minutes after posting the statement, the phone kept ringing.

3

The most calls were naturally from the worthless son.

Then there were calls from the creditors the worthless son had provoked.

I didn't answer any of them.

So they switched to bombing me with WeChat messages.

[Xu Jun: Both the relatives and the loan sharks borrowed money in your name. Whether you pay it back or not is up to you. Anyway, Ruirui and I are already on the high-speed train to college.]

[Third Aunt: Fangfang, my son is preparing to buy a house. The 3,000 yuan Junjun borrowed a few days ago, plus 600 in interest, needs to be returned to me quickly. We're relatives, but we only lent it because of your face. Don't pull any stunts like disowning him to avoid repayment. Our family isn't easy to bully either.]

[Seventh Granduncle: Don't give me that disowning nonsense! If you don't pay within three days, I'll bring my sons and grandsons to your house. We're relatives after all. Lin Fang, don't push things too far.]

...

And many more, all demanding I repay the money.

[The male protagonist settled the mother-in-law and is sweetly taking the female lead to college. All this mess is left for the vicious supporting character to clean up.]

[These creditors are not to be trifled with.]

[And that loan shark creditor has some unknown fetishes. Who knows, maybe the supporting character might even enjoy it.]

I rubbed my sore temples and carefully looked at the relatives Xu Jun had borrowed money from.

I quickly noticed something suspicious.

Xu Jun specifically borrowed from relatives I didn't get along with.

Not only that, but these relatives were all famously difficult and unreasonable.

My good son truly didn't want me to have an easy time.

He borrowed the money, and seeing he was a college student with no money, the relatives naturally all came to me.

If I didn't pay back, these difficult relatives could skin me alive.

Then there were the loan sharks, who were even more formidable.

But for me to swallow this dumb loss was impossible.

I thought about it, first replying to the relatives one by one with messages to placate them.

Then I quickly dealt with my assets.

These years, supporting Xu Jun alone, I didn't have much left.

Now there was only the house I lived in. Although it was a bit old and small.

It was only a seventy-square-meter, two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment, but fortunately, it was in a school district, with a current market value of 600,000.

Then there was the remaining savings of over 100,000 in my hands, and nothing else.

I contacted a real estate agent, willing to lower the price just to sell the house quickly.

The agent was also quick, giving me a reply the next day.

It finally sold for 570,000.

I saved the money from selling the house, packed my simple luggage, and left my hometown.

Then I found a small southern city with a pleasant climate to settle in.

Just as I was about to start my laid-back retirement life, the annoying pop-up comments jumped out again.

[The supporting character really knows how to enjoy herself, hiding here to live in comfort.]

[This vicious mother-in-law has harmed our male protagonist! Those relatives and loan sharks who couldn't get their money all caused trouble at the male protagonist's school. The male protagonist was almost ruined, but luckily he thought of a solution.]

[This time, this vicious mother-in-law must be狠狠 hammered to death. See if she still dares to cause trouble.]

Soon I knew what trouble Xu Jun was causing.

This day, I went out to buy vegetables. When paying, the shop owner kept staring at me.

Then just as I finished paying and turned to leave, she suddenly asked: "You're Lin Fang, Xu Jun's mother, right?"

My steps halted, and I turned back to look.

I saw the shop owner's face full of mockery, looking at me viciously.

And soon, many people gathered around.

[So this is the vicious mother Lin Fang? She really knows how to hide. Her son has been frantically looking for her, but she's hiding in our small city enjoying life.]

[Poor such a well-behaved and filial child, implicated by her.]

[She ran off with all the money, completely ignoring her son who just got into college. And yet, such a filial child still worries about this vicious mother, afraid she'll be bullied alone outside!]

[Phew! Vicious creature, should just die!]

[Such a vicious person doesn't deserve to have a son!]

...

The people around me surrounded me, pointing and gossiping.

Some even secretly threw vegetable leaves and eggs at me.

In just a few breaths, I was in a sorry state.

I calmly took out my phone and dialed the police.

"Hello, 110? I need to report a case. I'm at the Xinlong Road Agricultural Market, next to the seafood stall at the road entrance. There are people gathering here to cause trouble, maliciously insulting and physically attacking me. There's surveillance as evidence. Please dispatch police quickly. Good, I'll wait."

I hung up the phone, and the surroundings fell silent.

Everyone looked at each other.

Then they scattered like a flock of birds, as if the siege had never happened.

The shop owner, however, glared at me fiercely and said viciously: "I didn't do anything just now. Don't falsely accuse me! Go away, you stink. Stay away from my stall."

I took out my phone and turned on video recording mode.

"Keep talking. I'm recording."

The shop owner shut up.

After a while, the police came.

I went to the police station to give a statement, and the police said they would find those who had thrown things at me from the surveillance footage.

After leaving the police station, I went online to search.

I quickly learned what Xu Jun had done.

He had started a livestream.

The livestream was titled: "Mom, don't be so heartless as to abandon me."

Coincidentally, he was livestreaming right now, so I clicked into the livestream room.

I found this livestream room had quite high popularity, with 3 million in heat.

In the livestream room, Xu Jun, with red eyes, was recounting all the grievances between him and me.

"When I was little, my parents had a bad relationship, and it ended with my father leaving. I was raised by my mother alone. Although my mother was very controlling, I still loved her very much."

"This incident was also caused by my mother hitting Aunt Fu and then ignoring her."

"I know my mother doesn't like Aunt Fu's soft personality and always likes to pick on Aunt Fu. But this time, my mother paralyzed someone and ignored it, which is too much. As her son, neither my conscience nor my morality allows me to stand by and do nothing."

[Poor little Junjun, auntie will gift you a rocket.]

[Such an understanding and obedient child, and Lin Fang could bear to harm him. Truly worse than an animal.]

[Sisters, I'm starting a crowdfunding here to support Xu Jun's kind heart.]

[We not only need to help Xu Jun but also punish that bitch Lin Fang!]

[If anyone provides effective information about Lin Fang's whereabouts, there will be a reward! I just can't stand vicious mothers. This time I must teach her a good lesson.]

...

There were all kinds of comments below the livestream, and many were clamoring to punish me.

5

I immediately registered for a Doule account.

Then I started a livestream, titled [Lin Fang is here].

The name Lin Fang itself brought traffic, and in just half an hour, there were hundreds of thousands in heat.

Seeing the time was right, I appeared before the camera.

Holding up my ID card, I said: "I am Lin Fang, Xu Jun's mother. Regarding Xu Jun, I can say I have a clear conscience."

[Xu Jun says I injured Fu Hui. Is there evidence? Just based on his rumors? Xu Jun likes Su Ruirui, willingly acts as a simp, voluntarily sacrifices himself for love, and wants to bear all responsibilities for his paralyzed future mother-in-law. If I were an outsider, I would also sigh at the devoted male protagonist. But Xu Jun plotted against me, his mother. He called and lied that he had hit someone himself, asking me to care for Fu Hui and bear her medical expenses to keep him from going to jail.]

[After I exposed him, he threatened me with elder care. If I didn't comply with his wishes, he wouldn't recognize me as his mother. Such a worthless son, what do I want him for? I'll just consider my years of devotion fed to the dogs. We'll go our separate ways and live in peace. But this good son borrowed money everywhere, even from loan sharks. Where did the money go? It was used to hire a caregiver for his future mother-in-law, leaving the debts for me. After learning of this, I failed to communicate with Xu Jun, so I left my hometown. Is this also wrong?]

[Every word I say is true. If there is half a lie, may I be struck by lightning!]

After speaking, I ended the livestream.

But my tough response video went viral.

Because of my clarity and decisiveness, I actually gained a group of fans.

Many people online supported me.

[This is the awakened female protagonist! My idol, I'm following!]

[What simp, filial son? Get out of my world!]

[The ceiling of simps! Too bad he met an awakened and independent female protagonist mom!]

Although many people still doubted me, those cursing me had decreased significantly.

After all, no one had evidence, each side had their own reasoning.

As time passed, the heat faded, and this incident passed.

For safety, I recently went out fully armed, hat and mask essential.

After three peaceful days, another uproar broke out online.

Xu Jun's livestream revealed new evidence.

6

It was the lending relatives appearing on camera to accuse me.

[I am Lin Fang's third aunt. This child Jun is really pitiful. I must stand up and say something fair, otherwise I can't live with my conscience. I did lend money, but it was to Lin Fang. Lin Fang took the money to travel and said to let Jun pay it back. She said Jun is an adult now and should bear the responsibility of supporting her. Where is there such a mother, making her son support her extravagant expenses right after he became an adult?]

[I am Lin Fang's cousin. I also lent money to Lin Fang. Lin Fang said it was to buy luxury bags and that Jun would pay it back. Tell me, what kind of mother is this, making her son support her various lavish expenses right after he became an adult?]

[I am Fu Hui's neighbor. I can guarantee this with my character. It was Lin Fang who hit Fu Hui. I happened to be there walking around that day and saw it. After Lin Fang hit someone, she fled. I notified Jun to come handle it. This child Jun is emotional and righteous, cleaning up after his mother. But Lin Fang, as a mother, is not a good person, just thinking of escaping responsibility and squeezing her son dry.]

...

And testimony from several villagers.

Instantly, online public opinion boiled over.

Overwhelming waves swept toward me.

I was cyberbullied and doxxed.

I received a dozen express deliveries a day, containing blood-stained dolls, dead mice, funeral portraits, and wreaths.

Threatening and intimidating phone calls were endless.

For a time, I was like a rat crossing the street, everyone yelling to beat me.

Those online who had originally supported me also turned against me, their malicious backlash doubling.

[Ugh! What kind of vicious mother script is this! I almost believed she was an awakened female protagonist! Vicious Lin Fang, go die, go die!]

[I actually followed such a vicious woman! Thinking about it makes me want to throw up! This disgusting creature only harms her own son. And she fled the scene of the accident. Without her son to cover for her, could she still be living it up outside? Yet she dares to be shameless and frame her own biological son. This is probably more venomous than a snake!]

[Sisters, I've organized an Anti-Vicious Woman Alliance, planning to go to her house to teach her how to be a good person. If you want to join, you can private message me to sign up.]

...

Looking at comment after comment, I not only felt cold in my heart but my body also grew cold.

Thinking about the feces and garbage splashed at my door this morning, I shuddered.

I had to leave here and hide temporarily.

Otherwise, I might really be injured or disabled by these passionate fans.

Just as I was wondering where to hide, Xu Jun's call came through.

7

I answered, and Xu Jun's triumphant voice came from the other end.

"How is it? I told you you'd regret it! Are you regretting it now? Regretting it so much you can't sleep?"

"Say what you have to say!"

As my cold voice fell, Xu Jun on the other end couldn't help but curse.

"Damn it! I shouldn't have had a moment of weakness and pitied you. I should have let the vicious you be cyberbullied to death!"

Hearing this, I laughed angrily, "Oh, you want to pity me? How do you pity me?"

Xu Jun thought my attitude had softened and said condescendingly: "I'm preparing to start a livestream, and you'll apologize to the netizens in it. After all, you're my biological mother. I'll also speak up for you then. Then you'll come back and properly care for Aunt Fu Hui. I'll occasionally post videos of you caring for her on the platform. This way, everyone will gradually change their opinion of you, and the matter will be resolved."

Truly ugly and still dreaming!

"Knowing I would give birth to such a beast, I should have had it aborted and flushed down the drain! Simp! Idiotic creature! Get out of my world!"

After cursing, I hung up the phone.

When he called again, I directly rejected it and quickly blacklisted him.

I quickly packed my luggage, preparing to go to a small mountain city when I saw Xu Jun's livestream trending on hot search again.

I clicked in and saw this beast secretly plotting against me.

He had recorded our phone call earlier and edited it, cutting off the beginning and end before posting it.

I gritted my teeth but had to endure it for now.

The urgent matter was to hide first, otherwise the angry fans might tear me apart.

Just as I finished packing, there was a knock on the door.

"Hello, your delivery has arrived."

I didn't order any delivery. While puzzled, I prepared to open the door.

But at this moment, the long-absent pop-up comments appeared again.

[Hehe! Outside is a chainsaw enthusiast! If the vicious supporting character opens the door, that'll be quite a show.]

[Quick, quick, I want to see the vicious supporting character get her comeuppance!]

[When the supporting character dies, the male protagonist will directly inherit all her property and begin a romantic campus life.]

The hand on the doorknob shrank back in fright.

The knocking outside continued, the urging voice already impatient.

"Hurry up and open the door, the delivery is about to time out."

I looked out through the peephole and saw a man in a raincoat and helmet staring straight into the door.

I was so scared I stepped back, almost sitting on the floor.

I calmed myself and said loudly: "I've already called the police! The police will arrive in five minutes. You can continue waiting."

The person outside cursed a couple of times and left.

But I was still trembling.

The online rhythm Xu Jun was pushing was too strong, and its impact on me was too severe.

Now, even wanting to leave here to hide was difficult.

I rubbed my sore temples, feeling my body break out in cold sweat.

Just when I was at a loss, the pop-up comments actually gave me a surprise.

[The male protagonist did beautifully this time, directly paying people to provide false testimony and crazily smearing the supporting character online.]

[It'll be difficult for the supporting character to turn things around this time, unless she can go back to her hometown to collect evidence.]

[These people really have no morals. Clearly, they took the male protagonist's money and promised to keep quiet. But in the countryside, their mouths are like loudspeakers, they can't keep secrets at all. Fortunately, no one will go to the countryside to investigate. Otherwise, it would be the male protagonist who would be condemned by all.]

My eyes lit up.

This was my breakthrough.

8

While I hired a private detective to investigate openly and secretly in my hometown, Xu Jun took advantage of this wave of popularity to start selling products through livestreaming.

Because the story was scandalous enough, the popularity remained high.

Xu Jun's livestream sales flourished, earning pots full of money every day.

I entered his livestream room daily to watch, seeing his complacent expression building his high tower, while I sneered in my heart.

Laugh on, in a few days you won't be able to laugh anymore.

No matter how magnificent a high-rise building, it will collapse into ruins before the truth.

When I received the evidence from the private detective, I had to marvel at the stupid teammates Xu Jun had found this time.

Those extreme relatives were only interested in getting money. Once the money was in their hands, they didn't care about confidentiality.

So as soon as someone brought up the topic, they immediately opened like floodgates, spilling everything.

I edited and organized the evidence and posted it to my platform.

I gave it an eye-catching title.

[The Real Truth!]

The video had only been uploaded for three minutes, yet it was downloaded hundreds of thousands of times.

Under the crushing weight of ironclad evidence, Xu Jun's selfishness was completely exposed.

All the malice directed at me rebounded onto him.

The internet was filled with condemnation and curses against him.

[Xu Jun is truly a pile of stinking dog shit!]

[Finally understand Ms. Lin Fang's words. Giving birth to such a son, it would have been better to have aborted him and flushed him down the drain.]

[The truth reversed again, but this time with ironclad evidence beyond doubt. Xu Jun can't wash himself clean!]

Xu Jun's image collapsed instantly. The products he had sold in livestreams were almost entirely returned overnight.

This caused the client heavy losses, and according to their agreement, they demanded huge compensation from Xu Jun.

Xu Jun faced over a million in compensation.

Just when everyone thought Xu Jun would quietly retreat from the internet like a rat in a sewer, he actually started another livestream.

9

"I'm very sorry! For bringing you such a bad influence, I hereby solemnly apologize to all the viewers in the livestream room."

"I do really like Ruirui and want to help solve her worries. As for Aunt Fu Hui's matter, I was indeed inconsiderate. I only thought that my mom and Aunt Fu Hui have been neighbors for many years, and now that Aunt Fu Hui is in difficulty, it shouldn't be hard for my mom to help out for a few months. I didn't expect that without communication, I got angry and caused so many misunderstandings and entanglements afterward."

"I originally intended for my mom to help look after her for a month or two. After Ruirui and I settled down, we would bring Aunt Fu Hui over to care for her. The plan hasn't changed. We will still bring Aunt Fu Hui over to care for her. At that time, we will often livestream, hoping our love and filial piety can receive everyone's encouragement."

"As for my mom, I was indeed too wrong. You can hit me or curse at me. But I only ask Mom to give me another chance, let me have a chance to reform. Can you, my most beloved mother?"

...

Unexpectedly, on the very day the public opinion reversed, Xu Jun publicly admitted his mistake and apologized in the livestream.

His daring-to-act-and-accept-responsibility attitude barely retained a few fans.

And a large portion continued to watch.

Xu Jun also acted as he said, appearing repentant.

Every day he would livestream, and each time he would definitely do three things.

First, apologize to me in the livestream and recall beautiful moments from our past.

Second, livestream his daily life caring for Fu Hui with Su Ruirui.

Third, livestream scenes of him working hard at part-time jobs to earn money.

This combination of moves really salvaged some of Xu Jun's negative impact.

And Xu Jun persisted for half a year, gradually earning him the nickname online.

[The Most Filial Son-in-Law]

I also found a new place to settle down, and Xu Jun's matter seemed to drift further and further away.

Until this day, a group of people carrying cameras rushed into my yard.

10

"Ms. Lin Fang, hello. We are the host and interview reporters from S City's famous emotional mediation program 'Family Harmony, Everything Prospers.' We come today at the request of Mr. Xu Dahai and Mr. Xu Jun to invite you on the show to mediate family conflicts."

The name Xu Dahai struck my head like a heavy hammer.

Those distant memories, fiercely sealed deep in my memory, suddenly surged out wildly.

My face changed drastically, and I drove those people out.

"Get out! Get out of here! Trespassing without the owner's permission, I can call the police."

"I don't know any Xu Dahai! And I won't go on any mediation program!"

"You all leave, and don't come back again, or I'll call the police."

I drove those people out.

Then I locked myself in the room, drawing all the curtains.

Only darkness could give me brief security.

Over the next few days, I hid at home.

But outside my yard, it was bustling, with various people constantly coming to livestream.

"Hello everyone, I'm blogger Xiao Youyou. I've been squatting here for two days and haven't seen Ms. Lin Fang. Is Ms. Lin Fang feeling guilty toward Xu Dahai and his son, so she's too ashamed to show her face?"

"I'm blogger Ma Weimin. I've brought a tent and a box of food. I'm prepared to squat here for the long term and will definitely uncover the final truth for everyone."

"To contact Ms. Lin Fang as soon as possible, darlings, I've been working as a part-time delivery person here for three days. But Ms. Lin Fang still hasn't ordered any delivery. But it doesn't matter, I'll keep trying."

...

Finally, on a sunny afternoon, the gate of my yard opened.

All cameras turned toward me.

In the camera, I wore an elegant and appropriate cyan cheongsam.

My hair was neatly pinned up.

I showed no signs of the destitution of someone in hiding, but rather looked like a high-spirited warrior.

Yes, I am a warrior.

Fifteen years ago, I could defeat Xu Dahai.

Today, I can do the same.

11

In the program "Family Harmony, Everything Prospers," Xu Dahai looked honest and simple.

Just like when he met me for our blind date.

Who could know that beneath the skin of honesty and simplicity lurked a violent beast.

And Xu Jun, with red eyes, occasionally looked at me pitifully and hurt.

Before the program even started, the live audience's emotions had been stirred up, all glaring at me viciously.

As if I had committed some unforgivable sin.

And I always stood straight, fearlessly facing all the wind and frost, swords and blades.

The program began, and the host delivered an opening speech about family harmony and prosperity.

After the opening remarks, we entered the formal mediation phase.

"Our mediation process works like this: we'll first let Mr. Xu ask questions, and Ms. Lin Fang will answer truthfully. After Mr. Xu's Q&A session, Ms. Lin Fang will ask questions, and Mr. Xu's side will answer."

"After both sides have finished their Q&A, we'll enter the demands phase. At that time, both parties will present their demands. If reconciliation cannot be reached, we'll invite relevant parties to mediate on site. If mediation still cannot be achieved, we will then..."

I couldn't listen anymore and directly interrupted: "Repay injury with kindness—how then does one repay kindness?"

"I didn't come here to mediate the conflicts between me and Xu Dahai and his son. The conflicts between us can never be reconciled in this lifetime."

"I came here to seek justice for myself and to give countless netizens the truth."

"So I only have one phase here. They ask three questions, and I ask three questions. This will serve as the final conclusion."

The smile on the host's face froze awkwardly. She had never encountered someone like me in her career.

And Xu Dahai and his son Xu Jun also looked stuck.

I imagine they must have prepared lengthy speeches, planning to gain some favor from the audience.

Regardless of how ugly their faces were, I said directly: "If you agree, we begin. Otherwise, I refuse mediation."

The host looked at Xu Dahai and his son, seeing both nod silently.

Then she smiled and said: "Both father and son very much hope for family reunion, so they're accommodating Ms. Lin Fang and have agreed to Ms. Lin Fang's requirements. Now, let's begin according to Ms. Lin Fang's request. First, the father and son will ask questions."

Xu Dahai asked first: "First question. Back then, so that Jun could have a complete family, I knelt and begged you. Why did you still insist on divorce so heartlessly?"

"You domestic violence abuser still have the nerve to ask why I insisted on divorce so heartlessly?"

My answer caused a stir in the audience, who all looked suspiciously at Xu Dahai.

Xu Dahai gave a bitter smile: "If you want to create such a lie to answer me, I have no way to stop you."

After Xu Dahai finished speaking, he said no more, just sitting to one side with a bitter expression.

Then it was Xu Jun's turn to ask.

"Second question, from childhood to adulthood, your control over me was explosive, causing me to suffer from depression. I want to know, do you really love your son?"

I seriously looked at this son I had truly loved and cared for eighteen years and calmly asked: "You did have depression as a child, but your depression was because you witnessed Xu Dahai's domestic violence since childhood, leaving psychological scars. For your illness, I took you across the country to see how many doctors. Now, you're blaming me instead. Truly a good son who crawled out from my belly."

As my words fell, Xu Jun's eyes turned redder, and tears even fell.

He choked out: "Whatever Mom says is true. My father and I couldn't resist your decisions since we were young."

Xu Jun sobbed uncontrollably, and Xu Dahai asked the last question.

"Is it because you hate that I couldn't earn big money to give you a wealthy life, so you vented all your anger and resentment on Jun? For eighteen years, you abused him both physically and mentally."

I directly laughed, pointing at Xu Jun and asked: "I abused him?"

Xu Jun seemed unable to bear it any longer and suddenly stood up, taking off his clothes.

Instantly, his body covered in injuries, old wounds overlapping new ones, appeared before everyone.

The audience erupted in excitement, and many girls cried.

"Oh my god, so pitiful. What kind of demonic mother is this."

"Such a vicious mother should die! She has harmed the poor father and son."

"Lin芳, you bitch, go die, go die!"

...

But I remained calm, watching the father and son, the noisy curses around me like a light breeze passing by.

I began my questioning.

"First question, Xu Dahai, you domestic violence abuser, what qualifications do you have to stand here questioning me? Do you think that after more than a decade, there's no evidence left? You brought this on yourself. I'll let you make a name for yourself before millions of viewers."

Xu Dahai's face showed surprise and fear.

But it was too late. I projected a stack of materials onto the large screen.

"I was married to Xu Dahai for four years and was domestically abused hundreds of times. Among them, three incidents were particularly serious, with neighbors calling the police. These are the police records from those three times. The first time, my head was broken open and required over forty stitches. The second time, I had over thirty bones broken in my body and was nearly paralyzed. The third time, my chest was split open with an axe, and I almost lost my life. Here are the police records, hospital diagnoses, photos from that time, and the judge's ruling when I sued for divorce."

Xu Dahai's mask was torn apart, instantly revealing his violent nature.

"Bitch, what a pity I didn't beat you to death back then!"

The whole audience was in an uproar!

I continued with the second question: "You were originally dating Fu Hui, but later Fu Hui discovered you liked to use violence, so she introduced you to me instead. But after marriage, you two continued your illicit relationship, unclear and messy. These things, Xu Jun was young then, but he witnessed them all with his own eyes. So, Xu Dahai, you cheated during marriage. And Xu Jun, you recognized a mistress as your mother. You two are disgusting, how dare you drag me into the mud with you."

Xu Jun opened his mouth to refute, but I revealed another series of evidence.

There were letters and correspondence between Xu Dahai and Fu Hui carrying on their affair, and various photos of the three of them going out together.

Without giving them time to react, I pressed my advantage and dropped the final bomb.

"Xu Jun, I don't want to ask the last question. I just want everyone to hear a recording."

Then I played a recording the private detective had given me.

[Mom, you're my real mom. In the future, I'll be filial to you together with Ruirui. As for Lin Fang, if she's willing to be a good servant and care for you, I'll naturally spare her a meal when she's old. Otherwise, I'll ruin her reputation and make her life worse than death! I found a makeup expert. Then I'll have some wounds painted on my body. Those female netizens will definitely feel so sorry for me and help me bombard Lin Fang together.]

This time, I tore off all the masks of Xu Dahai and Xu Jun.

The scene was filled with curses against the father and son.

And I left gracefully.

After leaving, I proceeded to sue the father and son for defamation and slander against me.

The final result was that the father and son happily received a pair of silver handcuffs, fortunately reuniting in prison.

As for Su Ruirui, without Xu Jun's support and backing, she became overwhelmed and became a mistress.

Later, I heard she contracted some venereal disease and was beaten by the legal wife on the street until her uterus ruptured, ruining her entire life.

As for Fu Hui, without anyone to care for her, she rotted to death in her rental apartment.

This was the ending they deserved.

After those protagonists received their just deserts, the pop-up comments also completely disappeared.

And I welcomed my brand new life.

I went to a small town with spring-like weather all year round and bought a small courtyard there.

Daily, I pet cats, grow flowers, and plant vegetables, living a peaceful and contented life.
