Chapter 164 I am very filial, Mom
Seeing Lin Sui's eagerness, Si Xingran laughed: "If I call your name, would you dare to answer?"
Lin Sui thought for a moment, then turned to ask Li Ye, "Shouldn't we have some kind of ceremony since we're going to acknowledge someone as our mother? Like, offering a cup of tea or something?"
Li Ye looked at her, then at Si Xingran, and nodded: "I'll go buy it."
"No need," Lin Sui said readily. "Water will suffice instead of tea."
Tang Xi immediately picked up the thermos cup next to Lin Sui and excitedly handed it to Si Xingran: "Quick!"
Stop dawdling, she's waiting to record a video!
Si Xingran: "..."
Lin Sui originally thought that, given Si Xingran's shamelessness, he would at least try to cheat and make a scene.
After a period of frustrated silence, he suddenly seemed to have figured something out and flashed a bright smile.
Lin Sui was all too familiar with that smile of his.
This is how he laughed when he was preparing to cause trouble.
Si Xingran generously poured a glass of water, then bent down, offered it with both hands, and called out three times crisply, "Mom, Mom, Mom, please have some tea!"
Lin Sui: "..." Suddenly I don't really want to drink anymore.
Even Lu Xiang, who had initially been watching with anticipation, became suspicious: "You're not planning something bad, are you?"
"How could that be?" Si Xingran blinked at Lin Sui. "I'm very filial, Mom."
Lin Sui: "..." She dared not drink anymore.
After thinking about it, she decided to make it clear in advance: "Mom doesn't have money to buy you a house or help you get married, you have to earn it yourself."
Si Xingran: "Okay, Mom. Don't worry, Mom."
"Good girl." Lin Sui then took the thermos lid with satisfaction and drank some water.
The others, waiting to see Si Xingran make a fool of himself: "..."
"Is this what they call motherly love and filial piety?" Lu Xiang could hardly bear to look at it.
Sure enough, as long as you have thick skin, there's no shame you can lose.
Yu Ci smiled, not surprised at all: "If the squad leader is willing to play with him, then let him have his way."
[Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter! What the hell is this about a loving mother and filial son?!]
[Wait, he just recognized her as his mother like that? My Stalin... this makes him even more adorable!]
[…Hey, you upstairs, something's not right [winking emoji]]
[Hehe, this is so crazy, it's perfect for someone like me who hasn't taken drugs before going out.]
After the ceremony to recognize the mother ended, the third person destined to be with the mother arrived.
She was a very thin woman wearing sun protection clothing and a mask.
She nervously crossed her arms, as if embarrassed, and her voice was exceptionally weak: "Excuse me, if I don't have any money, can I still have my fortune told...?"
Lin Sui glanced at her and nodded: "Okay, your husband will come and pay for you later."
Upon hearing this, Guan Xiaohong visibly flinched.
She hesitated for a long time, going back and forth, before finally mustering the courage to sit down in front of Lin Sui.
"Master Lin, I... I want to know, when will I be able to die?"
As she spoke, her voice trembled slightly, yet held an unspoken anticipation.
Netizens were stunned.
[Is she trying to find out how long she will live?]
Lin Sui also interpreted it this way: "You have the appearance of longevity and can live to be ninety-eight years old."
"What?" Guan Xiaohong was stunned, her eyes blinking frantically but still turning red. "Ninety-eight years old... I'm thirty-two this year, does that mean I have to endure this kind of life for another sixty-six years?"
Instantly, she covered her eyes with her hands and burst into tears.
[What's going on? You're not happy about longevity? I couldn't be happier!]
That depends on the type of longevity; the difference between rich and poor is huge.
[This person doesn't look short of money. They're dressed in designer clothes, and on their hands, neck, and even ears—they have a full set of gold bracelets, necklaces, and earrings. With gold prices so high these days, would someone without money afford to wear that?]
As Guan Xiaohong covered her eyes, her slipped sleeve revealed not only the gold bracelet on her wrist, but also a faint bruise.
Li Ye's eyes turned cold: "Then let's get a divorce!"
"No, I can't, I can't get a divorce, I can't..." Guan Xiaohong cried and shook her head, repeatedly saying no.
Li Ye clenched his fists: "Where do you live? I'll help you die..."
"Li Ye".
A clear, gentle voice suddenly rang out, and Li Ye paused, subconsciously looking down to meet Lin Sui's dark eyes, which held a reassuring quality.
As if a gentle breeze had swept by, the violence in Li Ye's heart dissipated in an instant.
He released his grip, his thin lips pressed tightly together, and said nothing more.
Guan Xiaohong was still crying: "I can't get a divorce, and I don't dare to resist... I just want to die as soon as possible, why won't you even let me die, why?"
[Want to die? It's easy. Just a bottle of pesticide.]
[You think she really wants to die just because she says so? She's wearing gold bracelets and necklaces, how could she possibly want to die? I think she's just being dramatic.]
[She probably didn't dare commit suicide, fearing she'd become a wandering ghost like Xia Yaoyao, unable to enter the cycle of reincarnation.]
"You're not afraid of death, so why are you afraid of living?" Lu Xiang couldn't stand it anymore. "Wait until he falls asleep in the middle of the night, then slit his throat with a knife. It'll be a death sentence in a minute."
Guan Xiaohong stopped crying and stared blankly at her, seemingly not expecting this to happen.
Lin Sui then spoke up: "If your life were to remain unchanged like this, you would never live to be ninety-eight."
"……What's the meaning?"
Lin Sui: "I have looked at your face. In the future, you will have a loving husband and two excellent and filial children. A happy and carefree life is the key to your longevity."
Guan Xiaohong's eyes widened in disbelief: "How, how is this possible? The doctor said I'm in poor health and will never have my own child in this lifetime."
"Isn't the so-called doctor a classmate of your current husband?" Lin Sui asked calmly.
Guan Xiaohong's eyes widened even more: "You mean...they conspired to deceive me?"
Si Xingran scoffed: "Isn't this obvious?"
Guan Xiaohong's expression changed repeatedly, sometimes with surprise, sometimes with fear and unease.
Clearly, even so, she still hadn't made up her mind to get a divorce.
Lin Sui frowned upon seeing this.
Fortune telling and divination may be accurate in the past, but in the future, they are merely the result of causes and effects.
Even after she said all that, Guan Xiaohong still didn't dare to get a divorce, so her future must have changed more than just because she consulted her fortune teller.
Is the problem with her husband?
Just as Lin Sui was about to perform some divination, he heard a shout from not far away: "Xiao Hong!"
Before Lin Sui could look over, her hand was suddenly pulled.
Lin Sui turned her head in surprise; it was Lu Xiang.
She gripped Lin Sui's hand tightly, and an uncontrollable tremor emanated from her hand, clearly spreading throughout Lin Sui's entire body.
