Chapter 11 Chapter 11 “I didn’t expect that I could still chase stars even after I died…
Everyone present in the cemetery was stunned by Yao Shuying's words.
Yao Shuying ignored Yu Chuan, who was looking at her heartbrokenly. She lowered her head to glance at Liang Yuan's portrait on the tombstone and said, "Liang Yuan, if you want to blame someone, blame your father. It's his fault for cheating on you. If you want to blame someone else, I'm not the second one."
"I divorced your father and reunited with Yu Chenghua. Yu Chenghua acted like a good old man, all grudges forgotten, and it made me sick, so I went to find his son Yu Chuan."
At this point, Yao Shuying looked up at Yu Chuan: "But when I first found Yu Chuan, I actually didn't know what I wanted to do. Should I tell him about his father's old grudges when he was young? It didn't seem to be of any use. At most, it would just disgust his family."
"But to my surprise, Yu Chuan actually said that he fell in love with me at first sight - I thought he was talking nonsense, but it turned out to be true."
Everyone was silent.
The ghosts in the underworld also fell silent.
Putting aside the age difference that is not accepted by most of the world, although Yu Chuan didn't know it at the time, from a God's perspective, this matter was - I fell in love with my father's first love at first sight.
hiss--
Yu Chuan's eyes were red. He still hadn't forgotten his original intention, even forgetting that his parents were still there: "Sister Yao! I am really sincere to you! Don't care what others think of our love. I... Dad! Why did you hit me! It was you who hurt Sister Yao when you were young, and now you are cheating on her..."
Yu Chuan's mother, Lian Ying, was still sitting on the ground, too exhausted to stand up and scold. Yu Chuan's father, Yu Chenghua, was so angry at his own son that his face flushed red. His hands trembled as he pointed at him, unable to articulate his anger. He could only curse, "Unfilial son!"
Yao Shuying sneered and looked at Liang Yuan's biological mother, Shen Wenli. "I took advantage of the situation and spent some time with Yu Chuan. I did it, but Yu Chuan's association with your son really had nothing to do with me in the beginning, right, Yu Chuan?"
Yu Chuan pursed his lips tightly.
Shen Wenli glared at Yao Shuying, and her remarried husband quickly put his arm around her shoulders to prevent her from hitting anyone.
Liang Yuan's father looked at the situation in front of him with a look of toothache, and Liang Yuan's second stepmother looked like she was watching the fun and not minding the trouble.
"At that time, I hadn't actually thought about what to do with Liang Yuan," Yao Shuying said. "I just wanted to ruin Yu Chenghua's family, so I got together with Yu Chuan and started dating Yu Chenghua. Later, I dumped Yu Chuan, leaving some clues. Plus, Yu Chuan has a bit of a paranoid personality, so I was sure he would suspect I had found a new lover."
"I was waiting for him to find out that my 'new love' was his father, and then the two of them would start a quarrel. But I didn't expect Yu Chuan to mistake Liang Yuan for my new boyfriend at first..."
"After all, Liang Yuan and I had a mother-son relationship for two years. Although we weren't close, we had never had any conflicts. So when we ran into each other outside, it was natural for me to say hello. Who knew that Yu Chuan would follow me and see me."
When Yao Shuying said this, Yu Chuan couldn't help but start to defend his original misunderstanding: "I... I didn't think too much at the time. I just thought that since you were with me before, you might just like young people. And when I saw you walking with another young boy, I... I was indeed a little impulsive at the time."
"How could it be impulsive?" Yao Shuying smiled and waved her hand, the cigarette still burning between her fingers. "You misunderstood and jumped out to fight with Liang Yuan at that time, that's called impulsiveness. I didn't lose my temper at the time, but stalked Liang Yuan afterwards, tried every means to play the same game with him, pretended to be a girl in an online relationship with him to trick him, and finally made up a lie that his whole family was killed by him. That's not impulsive."
Yu Chuan hesitated: "I... I just like you too much, Sister Yao..."
"This is so disgusting! You're all so disgusting! Xiaoyuan must have provoked you to be harmed like this!" Shen Wenli couldn't help but yell, "Yao Shuying! You said you and Xiaoyuan had no conflicts, so how could you have the heart to play tricks on him like this! Liang Jianguo cheated on you, so go get revenge on him! What does this have to do with my son!"
Yao Shuying sighed: "I've already said that these things really had nothing to do with me in the beginning. I didn't instruct Yu Chuan to do it. I only found out from him later."
"I was puzzled at the time because I had deliberately gone out on so many dates with Yu Chenghua. Logically, if Yu Chuan had paid a little attention to follow me, he should have noticed it, but why didn't he make a fuss? Could it be that he didn't really care about me that much, or was he scared when he saw that it was related to his father?"
"So I went looking for him, and I discovered that he had completely deceived your son Liang Yuan, and he was quite panicked. It was then that I realized, since we're all connected in the same circle, I might as well take revenge on Liang Jianguo."
Yao Shuying said confidently: "I didn't intend to cheat him into sex, I just wanted to trick him into spending money. Cheating his money is the same as cheating Liang Jianguo's money. Besides, I don't want the money I cheated, it's all in Yu Chuan's hands."
"Yu Chuan pretended to be drunk and went to bed with him. He originally wanted to disgust him, but he didn't expect Liang Yuan to be more responsible than his father and said he would take responsibility."
When they heard the words "go to bed", everyone around them had expressions that were hard to describe. Only Liang Yuan's second stepmother was quite happy because it had nothing to do with her: "The kids are having a lot of fun..."
Liang Yuan's father, Liang Jianguo, glared at her and said, "Are you going to die if you don't speak?"
She glared back: "Do you want me to die if you don't say anything?"
Yao Shuying ignored their conversation, exhaled another puff of smoke, and continued, "As for deceiving Liang Yuan about the pregnancy, it was also an accident. I forged a prenatal examination report to scare Yu Chenghua, but Yu Chuan also overheard it."
"...Forgery?!" Yu Chenghua was the first to grasp the key point at this moment.
Yu Chuan, who had been lowering his head in shame, suddenly raised his head.
Yao Shuying didn't reply and continued, "I deliberately said I wanted to give birth to the child. Yu Chenghua was really scared and said he couldn't raise the child. I said I would raise the child myself. Yu Chuan told me that he could raise the child with me, but I refused. I wanted to see what Yu Chuan would say next. Unexpectedly, he suggested to me that Liang Yuan help me raise the child, as revenge for Liang Jianguo's infidelity."
At this point, Yao Shuying couldn't help but burst out laughing. She said to Liang Yuan's portrait, "Oh my God, I never thought you, Xiaoyuan, could be fooled by Yu Chuan's ridiculous words, and you even got pregnant with a man... If you had taken a closer look at the prenatal examination report, you would have seen how fake it was."
Although Shen Wenli had found out some truth, the specific details were not so detailed. When she heard this, her eyes were dazzled: "A man is pregnant? Yu Chuan lied to my son and said that the child was conceived by them together?"
Yu Chuan's eyes dodged, and when he looked down and saw the confused look of the little girl Yueyue, he felt even more guilty.
Yao Shuying: "Hmm."
Shen Wenli's mind was about to explode: "I... I thought he tricked my son into becoming gay, and then took this illegitimate daughter and said she was adopted and raised as their daughter. I... Liang Yuan, are you too stupid!"
In the office of the Underworld Extradition Department, male ghost No. 001 Liang Yuan scratched his head in shame.
In the image on the Zhiyin Wall, Liang Yuan's father, Liang Jianguo, also stumbled: "This... Xiao Yuan is too easy to fool..."
"Of course not," Yao Shuying said. "When Yu Chuan told me about this idea, I was ready to see them finally come to blows. I didn't expect Liang Yuan to be intimidated. Yu Chuan even took a leave of absence from school to come see me, saying he would help me with my pregnancy and take care of me until I gave birth."
Yu Chuan finally interrupted again in a low voice: "You just said that the prenatal examination report was forged..."
Yao Shuying: "Yeah, so when you came looking for me, I immediately ran away. I really didn't expect you to do this."
Yu Chuan lowered his head and glanced at the little girl who still couldn't understand the complicated ways of the world: "Then Yueyue..."
"I hadn't been back to my hometown for a long time, so I stopped by to visit some relatives. Unexpectedly, my cousin's daughter was pregnant. She wasn't married yet, and the man refused to acknowledge her. She was in love and insisted on having the baby. She only regretted it when the baby was too far along to abort." Yao Shuying looked at Yueyue. "Yueyue is my niece's daughter. I adopted her, so legally she is my child, but she has no relationship to you, the Yu family."
Yu Chenghua breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not mine..."
Yu Chuan also breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as it's your child, I don't want to raise someone else's child..."
After hearing what her husband and son said, Lian Ying wanted to bang their heads against the tombstone together!
Yao Shuying finished her cigarette after a few puffs. She looked at Shen Wenli and said, "We've finished talking about everything. Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll leave. If you want to settle the score, go find Yu Chuan. To be honest, I didn't play any role in deceiving your son. Yu Chuan, give Yue Yue to me. Thank you for taking care of my daughter for the past two years."
Yu Chuan was almost as confused as Yue Yue at this moment: "Sister Yao..."
"Why are you leaving?" Shen Wenli said.
She took out her phone and said, "I recorded everything you just said. Just admit that you lied to my son. I've asked my husband to call the police."
Everyone else's attention was focused on what Yao Shuying said to her. When Shen Wenli pointed it out, they realized that Shen Wenli's current husband had walked away to a farther place at some point and was about to come back after just finishing a phone call.
When they heard the alarm, their expressions changed.
Yao Shuying frowned. "I've already said that, even though your son paid for it, I didn't get a single cent of it. Of course, if you insist, I can return my daughter's living expenses for the past two years to you. But this isn't considered fraud, is it?"
"Whether it counts or not, we'll see when the police arrive!" Shen Wenli raised her head and said, "I gave my son a share of the money he spent before he died. I don't believe I can't be held accountable!"
Lian Ying, who had been sitting on the ground, hurriedly got up. "What do you mean? What do you mean? Mr. Yao, are you trying to put all the blame on my son?"
Yu Chuan was stunned: "Sister Yao..."
Lian Ying was heartbroken: "You are still here, Sister Yao, Sister Yao... Oh my God, didn't you hear that she wanted to put you in jail! How could you lie to someone like that for a woman? You even helped her raise her child. This is the woman your father didn't want back then!"
"Mom! How can you say that about Sister Yao! It was Dad who let her down back then. I was born because Dad let Sister Yao down and chose to marry you, otherwise I wouldn't exist! Sister Yao... Sister Yao is angry and wants me to go to jail, which is what she deserves. It's just that Yueyue is used to having me as her father, and I'm afraid she'll be sad when she can't see me in the future..." Yu Chuan murmured.
Yu Chenghua's face was wrinkled, both for himself and because of his stupid son.
He looked at Shen Wenli and said, "Sister, these things are our fault. But there's no need to take them to the police station, right? This is a civil dispute. Besides, your Xiaoyuan is gone. If the parties involved don't pursue the matter, even if you are his mother... Anyway, these things can't be sorted out in public. Why bother? Can we just settle it privately?"
Shen Wenli insisted, "We'll know whether this can be resolved publicly when the police arrive. I didn't make a false report anyway. My son was defrauded so badly, so it's a good idea for you all to go to the police and record your statements for the record. Don't think you can get away with it so easily!"
Liang Yuan's second stepmother sighed, "But this has nothing to do with me. I've been spending so much time here with you guys because Xiao Yuan is gone. I'm fine just joining in the fun, but... if it's a civil dispute, family members can actually attend the hearing, right? In that case, I'd better go to the police station and take a look."
Liang Jianguo glared at his current wife and said, "Shut up! Why are you joining in the fun?"
Then he looked at Shen Wenli and actually advised, "If you ask me, there's really no need to call the police. When the police come, just tell them to settle it privately and don't bother them... Our Xiaoyuan is gone. If you make a big deal about this, how will it benefit his reputation? Later, everyone will know that our Xiaoyuan is stupid and easy to deceive... My business partners will probably doubt my ability to work if they know I raised such a son..."
Shen Wenli glared at him: "Liang Jianguo! Are you still Xiaoyuan's biological father? How can you be a father like this?"
Yao Shuying smiled aside.
The scene was in chaos, with people blaming each other and passing the buck.
The ghosts watching the live broadcast of the underworld in front of the big screen were very interested and called it wonderful.
Inside the Extradition Office——
Liang Yuan looked at the Zhiyin Wall sadly. The naked-eye 3D effect of the wall image was so real that he felt as if he was there in person, watching his relatives and friends arguing around him but unable to intervene.
"I...sigh. My parents were actually pretty good to me. Even though they divorced when I was ten, they both fought for my custody. At the time, I felt that since my mom had chosen another man, my dad would be all alone, and I had to follow him, so in the end, my dad got my custody."
"After my parents divorced, my dad treated me better than before, and my mom didn't neglect me. My stepfather...even though he destroyed my original family, he's actually a good person and very kind to me. My mom was much happier with my stepfather than with my dad, which is actually pretty good. But cheating on me is still not good."
"Later, my dad remarried. I was a little worried that my stepmother would be difficult to get along with, but I didn't expect Aunt Yao to be so nice. She treated me like a friend. There were things I didn't want to tell my dad, but I could tell Aunt Yao."
"Unfortunately, my dad also cheated on me and remarried my stepmother. Although cheating is still not good, I don't think I've ever met a bad person. My stepmother is actually quite easy to get along with and loves to laugh. Didn't you see she was smiling happily just now? She doesn't get angry easily."
"Oh, I didn't expect it to get like this. What will happen to Yueyue? Will they go to jail? If my mom pursues the matter, I think the most she'll have to do is pay some compensation... It's not that I'm not angry, but maybe I was just too angry just now. Now I just want Yueyue to not become an orphan."
Liang Yuan rambled on for a while, and You Yun pointed to the door and said, "Go drink some soup."
Liang Yuan was still not satisfied with what he said, but he still obeyed You Yunyi's "order to expel him": "Oh, okay, thank you for the extradition."
On the wall, the cemetery scene dimmed, and the audience ghosts were also unsatisfied.
"So is this considered fraud? Can it be prosecuted?"
"They've personally admitted to defrauding No. 001, so they should be able to file a case, right? But their situation is complicated and involves a relationship dispute. I'm not sure how it will be handled in the end."
"It's a pity that the extradition officer is in a hurry, otherwise I would really like to watch it to the end——"
"Hey, the Zhiyin Wall is lighting up again. Is this the turn for the random images from the mortal world?"
"Why is he in the mountains... Oh, now I remember. No. 001 died during a hiking expedition, right? It's normal that someone in the mortal world who's in a similar situation is also in the mountains."
"Even though Liang Yuan says his parents treat him very well, I think he's just overthinking it. He probably subconsciously knows it's not that great, so he enjoys hiking and exploring, especially in deserted mountains, just to seek excitement."
"But there are indeed some people who just like excitement and like to go on adventures on foot..."
You Yunyi was also looking at the picture of Zhiyin Wall.
In the picture, it is nearly seven o'clock in the evening in the world of the living. In a deep mountain where dusk is falling and there is no light all around, a fully equipped man stares blankly at the "mirage" that has just disappeared.
There were two forks in the road in front of him. Just when he was struggling to decide which one to take, the mirage-like scene appeared before his eyes at a distance that was not a mirage.
He couldn't get rid of the image, nor could he record it with any equipment, so he simply stopped and watched for a while.
Now that the scene had finally disappeared, the man complained, "I saw a ghost for no apparent reason. What is this? This isn't how ghosts behave, is it? Why are you showing me this? Are you trying to say this is from my past life? How could I be so stupid!"
"You're just wasting my time. I was planning on finding a place to pitch my tent before eight. Which way should I go... Wait, are you reminding me that my wife and son lied to me too?"
The man pondered for a moment, then clapped his hands. "Forget it, we'll talk about it after we get back. Now, let's pick a path...it's you!"
The ghosts in the audience couldn't help but sigh when they saw the man from the mortal world continue to walk forward.
"Sure enough, he was so busy watching the fun that he didn't notice the cause of death of No. 001. Isn't this clearly a warning to him that continuing to hike will lead to danger?"
"Maybe both. Maybe there really is something wrong with his wife and son, and he's about to die like Liang Yuan before he finds out the truth..."
"I think even if he knew there might be danger ahead, he wouldn't choose to turn back. People who like adventure always set out with the mentality that they might die."
"If he continues walking, does that mean he has failed to change his fate? Or that he would have chosen the path that would have led to his death, but now he hasn't?"
"Please ask the extradition master for an answer—"
You Yunyi did not answer the curiosity of the audience ghosts, but he still looked through the mirror and found that the man in the world of the living had indeed not changed his fate. In two days, he would be able to see him in the underworld.
After closing the Zhiyin Wall, You Yunyi continued to call out numbers: "Next one, number 002, you can come in."
No. 002 is a man wearing glasses, with an elegant temperament, about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, and handsome.
As soon as they saw him, many of the audience members became excited: "Oh my God! It's my idol Song Yuting! I didn't expect that people can still be fans even after death..."
