Stepdaughter of a wealthy family? The little darling of a Beijing tycoon

Liu Xiulan's deeply ingrained idea was that since the two of them hadn't registered their marriage yet, it was perfectly normal for her son to have contact with several women and make choices from various sources. She immediately voiced this twisted logic.

These words immediately caused an uproar among viewers in the live stream, with many expressing their disagreement.

[Auntie, you're a woman yourself, how could you say such a thing?]

Put yourself in her shoes: if your husband were still alive and had an affair, could you accept it?

[If you can't even put yourself in someone else's shoes, no wonder your son has such warped values.]

Liu Xiulan stubbornly argued, "We haven't gotten a marriage certificate. He's single and free. What's wrong with him dating a few more people?"

Shen Jingshu coldly said, "It's precisely because you hold such a distorted view that your son has been influenced by it since childhood, making him feel that betraying relationships is perfectly normal. Even if he marries this girl, he will still indulge in extramarital affairs; his nature is hard to change. That's why I say, a blessed woman doesn't marry an unblemished one. Am I right, Xiao Tang?"

"What? Xiao Tang? Who are you talking about?" Liu Xiulan was taken aback at first, then suddenly realized that her son's girlfriend happened to have the surname Tang, and everyone usually called her Xiao Tang. Her heart skipped a beat. Could Xiao Tang be in the live broadcast room right now? Her face turned pale instantly, and she hurriedly tried to explain, fearing that this marriage she had placed so much hope in would fall through.

Just then, a notification popped up in the live stream requesting a connection; the ID was "Candy is Sweet".

Shen Jingshu clicked "agree," and the video call connected. On the other end of the screen appeared a girl with straight black hair, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and an elegant white dress.

Upon seeing the other person's face, Liu Xiulan panicked instantly, stammering, "Xiao...Xiao Tang! What are you doing in the live stream? Don't listen to this streamer's nonsense, she's telling complete lies! My son has absolutely not done anything to betray you. You two are about to get married, you can't let her words drive a wedge between you!"

Xiao Tang calmly said, "Auntie, if Xiao Hang really didn't do anything to wrong me, why are you so flustered? I'm so glad I stumbled upon this live stream tonight. My parents were watching too. My mom has always been a loyal fan of Master Shen and watches every single one of his live streams."

Liu Xiulan's expression changed: "Your parents are watching the live stream too?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged couple with refined manners walked out from behind Xiao Tang. They were clearly from a well-off, highly educated family. At this moment, their faces were solemn and their expressions were very displeased.

Liu Xiulan quickly put on a smile: "In-law..."

Xiao Tang's mother, dressed in an elegant cheongsam, possessed the gentle temperament of a woman from Jiangnan. Her voice was soft but carried a clear sense of estrangement and dissatisfaction: "You don't need to address me like that. The two children's marriage is still far from settled, so we can't be considered in-laws. After this incident, I'm afraid the two children won't even be able to remain ordinary friends."

Xiao Tang looked at the camera, his gaze earnestly fixed on Shen Jingshu: "Master Shen, is everything you just said true?"

"It's true. I deduced your future from your and your boyfriend's faces. If you hadn't had the chance to come to the live stream tonight and you hadn't gotten married, he would have become even more unscrupulous after marriage. When you were seven or eight months pregnant, you would have discovered his infidelity. You would have insisted on a divorce, but he and his son would have tried everything to stop you, and Liu Meilan would have subjected you to psychological manipulation. You would have been emotionally agitated and wanted to go back to your parents' home, but during the argument, you would have gone into premature labor and lost the baby. Knowing that you would definitely insist on a divorce if the child was lost, they would have secretly adopted a baby and lied to the outside world that it was your child. You would have been soft-hearted and considerate of the child, and you would have repeatedly tolerated and yielded, but he would still have a chaotic private life and eventually contract a sexually transmitted disease, which he would have infect you with."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tang trembled and could no longer bear to listen. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he whispered, "I understand, Master Shen."

She dared not imagine what kind of excruciating pain she would have endured if she hadn't watched the live broadcast with her mother tonight and had plunged headlong into this marriage.

Liu Meilan's shrill voice suddenly rang out as she hurriedly defended herself: "Xiao Tang, in-laws, please don't listen to her nonsense! This 'master' just can't stand to see my son doing well; maybe he's even taken a liking to him, which is why he's deliberately trying to break you two up! Xiao Tang, Auntie and Xiao Hang genuinely like you!"

Seeing that Liu Meilan was still distorting the truth and continuing her act, Shen Jingshu's tone turned cold: "It seems you won't admit your mistakes until you see the coffin. Xiao Tang, perhaps you still have some doubts. I'll give you a hotel address and room number. Go and verify it now. It's not far from your home; it's only a twenty-minute drive."

"I believe you, but others may not. Let's present solid evidence and see how she tries to deny it." Xiao Tang and her parents exchanged a glance and made up their minds. To completely sever this relationship, they needed to obtain conclusive evidence, preferably by catching the other party cheating on the spot.

The three immediately got up, and Xiao Tang's father drove them to the hotel Shen Jingshu had mentioned. To prevent Liu Meilan from tipping off her son in advance, Shen Jingshu kept the three parties connected. The viewers in the live stream held their breath, jokingly calling it a rare live cheating drama. Last time it was a socially awkward guy catching his wife cheating, this time it's a guy catching his boyfriend cheating with his parents, making the scene particularly interesting.

Liu Meilan was panicking. She desperately wanted to hang up and call her son, knowing all too well he wasn't home that night, but out having fun. But she quickly discovered her phone was completely out of control; she couldn't end the video call, couldn't turn it off, and even the buttons were unresponsive. She tried to get up and go out to hail a taxi to find her son, but her body was frozen in place, unable to move an inch.

Viewers in the live stream quickly noticed something was wrong, and the chat was filled with questions: "Master Shen, why is Liu Meilan not moving at all? Did you tamper with her?"

Shen Jingshu responded calmly, "To prevent her from tipping me off in advance, I held her still for a moment."

Netizens instantly went wild:

[Master Shen's ability to immobilize people from a distance is truly amazing!]

This was brilliant; it cut off her way of sending a message.

[Waiting for concrete evidence from the scene, let's see how this mother and son can keep up the act!]

Liu Meilan's eyes reddened with anxiety, tears welling up in her eyes. She was unable to move or even speak, her heart filled with agonizing prayers for her son to finish quickly and leave, hoping he wouldn't be caught red-handed. But her prayers were ultimately in vain.

Not long after, the Tang family of three arrived at the hotel that Shen Jingshu had mentioned. When they saw the hotel's name, all three looked helpless—this chain hotel was the property run by Tang's parents themselves.

The live stream chat instantly erupted in laughter:

Good grief, even when cheating, they're thinking of taking advantage of the woman's family.

[Xiao Tang had previously given him a hotel VIP discount card; this is blatantly taking advantage of his wife.]

The woman's family is so wealthy; it's like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung.

[Look at me, I'm way more reliable than him.]

Upon arriving at the hotel reception, the staff recognized the owner and immediately approached him respectfully. Xiao Tang gave his room number and requested that the door be opened. The hotel had a policy against opening the door to unauthorized personnel, but since the owner was present, the receptionist had no choice but to comply and quickly handed over the room key.
