Hearing this, Lin Xiumei's expression changed instantly. She stroked Mo Xiaowei's head while asking her with deep concern:
"You silly child, why would you say something like that about yourself?"
"Mom, for some reason, just now my mind suddenly cleared up, and a lot of things instantly made sense.
"You were right before. I really was an absolute love-struck fool, completely wrapped around Zhuang Zijie's finger, while foolishly believing we shared true love and that marrying him would guarantee happiness for the rest of my life...
"Now that I think about it, what on earth did I ever see in him? His sweet talk, his lack of education, his constant gaslighting, his flirting with countless other girls, or his obsession with our family's house...
"He claims he loves me to death, yet he's never done a single thing for me. When we're together, I'm the one paying for meals, rent, utilities, and transportation. On top of that, I have to do his laundry, cook his meals, mop the floors, wash the dishes, and clean the entire apartment!
"Whenever I talk to him about the future, he says a fortune-teller told him he's destined to have three children, so I absolutely must give birth to three kids, and at least one of them has to be a boy. If the first ones are girls, I'll just have to keep having children until I get a son... Ha, he basically treats me like a baby-making machine!"
As Mo Xiaowei reached an emotional peak, tears spilled from her eyes once again. Standing beside her, Lin Xiumei felt a pang of deep heartache.
"Mom, I know I was wrong. I was just too foolish and naive, taking Zhuang Zijie's sweet words for solemn oaths, mistaking his endless scheming for so-called true love, and even delusional enough to think we would grow old together and spend our lives as partners.
"Thank goodness I've woken up now. If I had actually registered our marriage with him, I probably would have ruined my entire life living in misery..."
Lin Xiumei hurriedly pulled Mo Xiaowei into her arms and gently comforted her.
"You silly child, this isn't your fault. The one at fault is that Zhuang Zijie. He's nothing more than a punk, a scoundrel, and an utter scumbag. Seeing his true colors is worth more than anything else!
"It's not too late to wake up now. You're still so young, and your future is bright. You deserve to meet someone better, and you deserve true happiness!"
Tears welled up in Lin Xiumei's eyes as well, every word coming straight from the bottom of her heart.
"Xiaowei, no matter what happens, and no matter when, your mother and father love you. As long as we're around, no one will ever be able to hurt you..."
"Mom..."
Mo Xiaowei hugged Lin Xiumei tightly, tears streaming down her face in a rush of emotion.
Lin Xiumei thought to herself with immense relief: "Thank goodness I trusted that livestream and ordered that pill back then. Fifty-odd thousand was truly worth it!"
Over fifty thousand yuan to cure her daughter's hopeless romantic delusion and save the rest of her life from being ruined by a scumbag—how could that not be worth far more than its price?
Forget fifty thousand; even fifty thousand would be a price Lin Xiumei was willing to pay!
Compared to her daughter's happiness, any amount of money was utterly insignificant.
"What pill?"
Mo Xiaowei wiped away her tears with a tissue, her heart filled with curiosity.
With no other choice, Lin Xiumei told Mo Xiaowei everything from start to finish about placing an order in Su Nanqing's livestream room.
After hearing about her mother's experience, Mo Xiaowei still found it hard to believe.
Yet since it had happened right to her, she had no choice but to believe it!
"Mom, this is straight out of a novel. It's nothing short of a miracle!"
"It really is." Lin Xiumei smiled. "That's why the streamer said anything is possible!"
Everything happened for the best!
"Mom, I'm going out for a bit."
"Xiaowei, what's wrong?"
"I'm going to break up with Zhuang Zijie, kick him out of the apartment I'm renting, make a clean break with him once and for all, and never have anything to do with him again for the rest of our lives!"
Mo Xiaowei spoke with firm determination, completely devoid of the weakness and suppression of her past love-struck self. She had recovered all her former vitality, looking full of energy, lucid, and clear-headed.
"All right, then hurry back. Call me anytime if you run into any trouble!"
"Yes, Mother!"
After Mo Xiaowei left the house, Lin Xiumei finally let out a long sigh of relief. Taking advantage of her free time, she recorded a very long voice message for her husband, telling him everything that had happened today.
"An incredible encounter, an absolute miracle! Darling, I can't talk anymore right now. I'm going back to check out that livestream room to properly thank the streamer!"
Meanwhile, Su Nanqing was still livestreaming. She wasn't as nervous as she had been on the first day. When she grew tired of explaining, she would pause, take a break, and sip some water to catch her breath.
She would also glance at the comments in the chat, finding some of the viewers' witty remarks quite amusing.
As long as people didn't cross the line into personal attacks, they could say whatever they wanted—she considered it free engagement for her channel.
Plum Blossom Endures: [Streamer, I came here specially to thank you. The Love-Curing Brain-Cleansing Pill really works!]
[Nani? Isn't this that huge fool who placed an order earlier?]
[Are you seriously not a plant? This is obviously a scripted act!]
Plum Blossom Endures: [I am definitely not a plant! I couldn't believe it at first either, but the facts were right in front of me, leaving me no choice but to believe it.]
[My daughter was a hopeless romantic, dead set on marrying a punk. No matter how we tried to persuade her, it was useless. I was at my wit's end when I happened to stumble upon this livestream room, and on a sudden impulse, I placed an order.]
[I never expected the pill to be delivered so fast—it arrived at my door in half an hour. After I had my daughter take it, she instantly became clear-headed and lucid, seeing right through that punk's true nature as a scumbag. She has already made a complete break with him, and I won't ever have to worry about my daughter again.]
Other viewers who read Lin Xiumei's comment were skeptical.
[No way, is it really that miraculous?]
[Keep making things up, even top web novelists couldn't invent a better story!]
[Why doesn't everyone believe it? I actually feel like Plum Blossom Endures' story sounds quite genuine.]
[If this pill is truly that magical, then fifty-odd thousand a pill is actually quite a bargain!]
Seeing the viewers' comments, Su Nanqing smiled and replied: "Thank you for your trust, Plum Blossom Endures. She is a real user, not a plant."
"Let me state once again: the product featured in today's livestream is the Love-Curing Brain-Cleansing Pill. Priced per pill, shipped immediately upon purchase, and once sold, it is non-refundable and non-exchangeable."
"Purchase is limited to one per person. Please buy according to your own needs. Thank you all for your support!"
"Is it really that miraculous?"
Gu Yiheng had stumbled upon Su Nanqing's livestream room yesterday.
At first, he had only been watching it for fun and entertainment.
After all, the idea that a tiny pill could cure someone of being a love-struck fool sounded entirely too mystical.
Anyone with a university education would find it hard to believe.
As of now, no medical technology could explicitly cure someone of being overly obsessed with love.
If an unregulated, unbranded pill could actually perform such magic, the creator would practically be guaranteed a Nobel Prize in Medicine!
For some reason, Gu Yiheng happened to stumble upon the same livestream room again today, and he saw the comment left by Plum Blossom Endures.
This caused a slight shift in his mindset. A pill costing over fifty thousand yuan—if it genuinely worked and wasn't false advertising, buying one wouldn't be entirely unreasonable, would it?
His father, Gu Jianguo, who had been retired for many years and had recently found a "second spring," was in his eyes the textbook definition of late-stage romantic delusion!
Not long ago, Gu Jianguo had fallen head over heels for a live-in nanny twenty years his junior. Not only did he insist on registering their marriage and covering the living expenses of the nanny's two children, but he even wanted to transfer ownership of the family's ancestral home to the nanny's son.
If that wasn't sheer madness, what was it?
