Master, Your Wife Has Become a Super Star Through Fortune-Telling-Chapter 85 - 86: The Vile Phoenix Man

[OMG, when you think about it, this guy is really an inspiration. He got to where he is today through his own hard work.]

[He’s handsome, rich, did well in school, and he’s smart!]

[All those greasy old men should take a look. This is how you do it!]

But Su Nian remained impassive. Her expression was emotionless, and her tone was laced with a cold distance.

"You met your wife in college. After you got married, you joined her family’s company and climbed the ladder by relying on them, step by step. Is that right?"

The moment Su Nian’s words fell, a look of resignation crossed Qing Feng’s face, but he didn’t try to hide anything. His smile remained gentle. "That’s correct."

[Holy shit, so he’s a freeloader who married up?]

[So he relied on his wife for everything!]

[I take back all my praise. I should have known better. With this streamer, there are always so many twists you can never praise someone too soon.]

In the public eye, men who marry up are typically seen as poor and insecure. They get lucky and find a rich girlfriend, then bring their entire family along to leech off her, sucking her dry.

But the Qing Feng before them was highly intelligent, with a calm and steady demeanor and distinguished looks. He gave off the impression of a member of the elite.

He looked like a domineering CEO who had built his own success, or perhaps an ambitious and intelligent second-generation heir.

No one would have expected that he had gotten everything through his wife.

"Your wife helped you out quite a bit with those scholarships you got in college, didn’t she?"

Su Nian’s tone was flat.

But Qing Feng actually laughed. "You really are a true master!"

Su Nian continued, "You had an affair with your secretary while your wife was pregnant. The woman you cheated with was a girl you knew from childhood, practically a childhood sweetheart. You’d been in love with her for years, but you never dared to get close to her because your family was of average means."

"Yes... Wen Xi. I’ve been in love with her for so many years."

[Fuck, he actually has the nerve to admit it!]

[What kind of fucking moron is this? I’m so pissed!]

[It’s bad enough that he’s a freeloader who married for money, but he cheated too!?]

[Cheating on your wife while she’s pregnant? Are you even human?]

Su Nian’s reaction remained placid. Without criticizing whether he was right or wrong, she continued, "Your wife died in a car accident a year ago. The main thing on your mind right now is probably how to make your mistress the new lady of the house."

"You’re worried that the company’s senior executives will object if you try to formalize your relationship with her, but you also feel that you owe her a great deal, don’t you?"

This time, Qing Feng actually looked a little sheepish.

"That’s right. To be honest, I didn’t have much affection for my wife. It was more gratitude than anything. But it’s different with Wen Xi. She gave me a son."

"A son, well, that’s different. I have to raise him properly."

Su Nian looked up at him, a flicker of confusion finally appearing in her eyes. The words that came out, however, were as sharp as ever.

"Didn’t your wife give you a daughter, too?"

"And how exactly do you plan on ’raising’ that illegitimate son of yours? Are you going to give him your family’s imperial jade seal? Or do you have a throne waiting for him at home?"

"Oh, my mistake, I forgot. You’re planning to use your wife’s family’s money to raise the illegitimate son you had with your mistress, aren’t you?"

[Which sewer did this animal crawl out of? Someone forgot to put the manhole cover back on!]

[Forget foot-binding, you’ve got a case of brain-binding.]

[Damn it, what is this piece of shit? Just go die!]

But one had to admit, Qing Feng had developed a thick skin. Seeing these comments, not only did he feel no guilt, he looked as if it were all perfectly natural.

"For a daughter, being well-fed and warmly clothed is enough. A boy is different, of course!"

His matter-of-fact expression made it seem as if he thought Su Nian was the strange one.

"My daughter has things her mother left her. But my son is different. He has to rely on me. Besides, a boy has to build a career for himself."

Qing Feng’s gaze shifted evasively, but his words remained shamelessly self-righteous.

Hearing him continue to make such self-righteous excuses, Su Nian let out a soft sigh. Her voice was so light and clear that one might have thought they’d imagined it.

"So you don’t know that your mistress is only with you for the money?"

"I know. But I love her. Even if she’s with me for the money, I know there’s a place for me in her heart."

[BARF. Don’t tell me he actually thinks he’s some kind of noble hero.]

[A middle-aged champion of pure love!?]

[When he first appeared, I thought his suit was nice. Now, I just find him repulsive. What a scumbag. How dare he wear the same brand of suit as me!]

Su Nian had no desire to continue discussing this topic with an idiot. Instead, she asked about his daughter.

"Do you have a photo of your daughter?"

"Her? No, I don’t. But, Heavenly Venerate, could I trouble you to show me my younger son? He’s so smart and cute, just a little mischievous. But it’s good for boys to be a bit naughty." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

As he spoke, he immediately pulled up a photo of his younger son on his phone.

[What kind of animal is this guy? I fucking can’t take it anymore!]

[Damn it, I’m about to kill someone!]

[I’m so furious I could die! What a piece of trash!]

The little boy in the photo had fair, clean features and indeed looked clever. He was absolutely adorable and very likable.

However, when Su Nian’s gaze fell upon the photo, she let out a laugh.

Her tone remained calm, but her words were something Qing Feng found utterly unacceptable.

"This child shows signs of a premature death. He won’t live past this month. His birth was difficult, wasn’t it? It must have taken a great deal of effort."

The blissful expression on Qing Feng’s face froze. The child’s birth had indeed been difficult, and he understood Wen Xi’s pain. He had spent an entire day and night with her and the baby.

He adored this child and had sacrificed a lot for him. Now, Su Nian was actually telling him the child showed signs of an early death—that he wouldn’t even live past this month?!

Qing Feng’s lips began to tremble and his face turned deathly pale. He stared in disbelief. "Master, is there any way to save him? Please, tell me! I have a lot of money!"

But Su Nian slowly shook her head. "The child’s fate can be considered retribution for his parents. You were unfaithful in your marriage, and the child’s mother has malicious intentions. Then there’s your deceased ex-wife. Although her soul has already scattered, you must know that you bear some of the responsibility for the cause of her death, don’t you?"

"When your wife was giving birth to your daughter, you were busy on a date with your mistress. As a result, she was left with no one to care for her at the hospital. After giving birth, she developed postpartum depression. All of this is the karmic debt you’ve accumulated."

"And that mistress of yours, tormenting your daughter, abusing a child—you dare say you don’t know? You’ve clearly just been turning a blind eye! And now, your son is bearing the karmic consequences for all of you."

"The Heavenly Dao works in cycles. Good and evil are always repaid in the end. And your retribution... is being borne by your son."

Qing Feng listened, stunned. Unwilling to believe what Su Nian was saying, he raised a hand to his forehead, feeling as though his entire world was collapsing.

His mouth hung open, his face a mask of pure panic. The elegant, easy-going demeanor from before was gone, replaced by a stuttering rebuttal.

"Impossible! None of what you’re saying is true!"

The evil he had sown was now being reaped by his favorite son. His child was pitiable, but he himself deserved not an ounce of sympathy.

Su Nian said, "Your son’s health has been getting progressively worse. You’ve noticed that already, haven’t you?"
