Chapter 5 Chapter 5 After getting plastic surgery to become handsome, he chased the goddess and lived off her...
The audience ghosts in front of the live broadcast screen were very surprised——
"Did her father have plastic surgery?"
"Does her mother know about this?"
"I suspect her mother doesn't know, so her father doesn't dare tell her the truth. Otherwise, if parents see their child so anxious about their appearance, they should tell her, right?"
"This little girl number 037 is really unlucky. Didn't she just say that her two brothers are also very handsome? Her brothers must be lucky to have inherited their mother's appearance, while she is unlucky to have inherited her father's original appearance..."
"I don't know what there is to be anxious about. Ugly is ugly, so what? If you have the ability, who cares whether you are ugly or not? You insisted on getting plastic surgery, and when it failed, you jumped off the building. If I were her parents, they would be pissed to death. What a loser!"
"Although I'm against plastic surgery, I have something to say. This little girl's situation is quite complicated. You're a bit too indifferent. If you were surrounded by handsome men and beautiful women all the time, and you were the only one who was ugly, it would be impossible for anyone not to feel anxious and uncomfortable, okay?"
"That's right. Besides, it's hard for a girl to find a partner if she's too ugly. It's not wrong for her to want plastic surgery. She's just unlucky."
"You said that, don't take it personally. I mean, it's understandable that she might be anxious about her appearance and even want plastic surgery, but that doesn't mean I support her having it. If possible, what she needs is psychological counseling."
"Besides, what does it have to do with finding a partner? It's understandable that she wants to be prettier because she can't stand the disparity at home, but if she's messing with her face just to find a partner, it only makes her mind go haywire."
"Well, although we shouldn't discriminate against people regardless of appearance, society is very realistic..."
"But in fact, there are very few people who are so ugly that it's shocking. Judging from the girl's eyebrows and eyes, she should be just ordinary ugly. In fact, after getting to know her for a long time and seeing her, you won't pay much attention to her appearance anymore."
"I also feel that, especially in society, beauty can be exchanged for very few resources, and the risk of being offended is even higher. In short, ability is what matters most. It's not good to put the cart before the horse."
"When I was alive, I was watching a short video. There was a beautiful girl standing in front of a luxury car, and the comments section was unbearable. Everyone said she must be selling something or that she got it by scam. But ordinary people, or even older people showing off luxury cars... well, the comments section was even more unbearable. They closed their eyes and boasted that they saw an 18-year-old Diao Chan. Everyone was afraid to miss the opportunity to compliment the rich woman."
"Hey, I've seen that too! It's hilarious. Those guys really seem to think they can be chosen by rich women as their perfect husbands. They're so shameless in their flattery. Now I won't criticize them for being materialistic."
"If Miss No. 037's father felt sorry for his daughter, he must be regretting it now. He should have told her the truth long ago. Instead of letting her think she was the odd one out in the family, he made her believe she was the odd one out."
"If her family had properly guided her since she was young, she wouldn't have been anxious about her appearance. Maybe her family has always disliked her for not looking like a good-looking girl, not only not comforting her but also putting pressure on her..."
"We've been discussing this girl's plastic surgery for so long, but why did her father have it done? If he didn't tell her mother about the surgery, would that be considered marriage fraud?"
"Isn't it said that her mother is very beautiful? If she doesn't have plastic surgery, I guess she won't be worthy of her."
"If his father is ugly, then his relatives on his side of the family shouldn't be much better looking either. How come their family hasn't noticed anything in all these years?"
"Hey, didn't No. 037 mention her father's relatives just now?"
"Plastic surgery failure is so scary... I died two years ago. I feel like plastic surgery technology is really advanced now, but I didn't expect it to fail..."
"Of course, there are cases of failure during surgery. Even if they don't fail, you still have to spend time and money on maintenance in the future. If you're lucky, it won't be obvious until you're old enough to be unable to maintain it. If you're unlucky, you'll end up like girl No. 037."
"Alas, it's such a pity that he died by jumping off a building at such a young age."
"She didn't even have any physical illness, unlike Zhou Xuemei who died of illness..."
Inside the Extradition Office——
No. 037 was somewhat bewildered: "My dad...how could that be? I've seen photos of my parents when they were young, and my dad hasn't had any signs of plastic surgery over the years..."
"That's why he said he was lucky," You Yunyi said. "You and your daughter have two completely different lucks. Your dad had a full face surgery when he was young and it was alright. He even married your mom thanks to his cosmetic surgery. He had more money and secretly maintained his looks. But you, on the other hand, had double eyelid surgery and your whole face has been completely disfigured."
No. 037 was so upset that he almost cried: "I...ah, I'm really unlucky. I'm the only one in my family who inherited my dad's characteristics...but why didn't my parents tell me the truth? My dad...does my mom know that my dad had plastic surgery? Why did my dad want to have plastic surgery? What did he look like before? I...I'm sorry, Mr. You, I said I wouldn't take up too much of your time, but now I have so many questions..."
In fact, No. 037's obsession has been resolved, so it doesn't matter if You Yunyi doesn't answer her questions. Anyway, if she answers now, it won't be long before she drinks the Meng Po soup and she will remember nothing.
However, You Yunyi has given up and has now accepted that two hours of live broadcast is equivalent to two hours of overtime. Since both the parties involved and the audience are curious, there is nothing wrong with clarifying the confusion.
"Your mother doesn't know that your father had plastic surgery." As You Yunyi spoke, the Zhiyin Wall began to fluctuate again.
No. 037 quickly asked, "Then did my dad have plastic surgery to woo my mom?"
You Yunyi raised an eyebrow: "Yes, and no. At first, I wanted to pursue your mother and get revenge on her. But after I really caught her, I felt that the soft rice was so delicious that I couldn't bear to give it up, so the desire for revenge died halfway."
No. 037 and the audience: "...Huh?"
You Yunyi looked at Zhiyin Wall and said, "I found a clip that's perfect for you to watch. Just watch it. This is the scene after your funeral when your parents returned home and talked in the bedroom."
The audience was embarrassed to think that the expression "watching the fun" was a bit too direct...
The couple in the bedroom depicted on the wall are indeed a handsome couple. While No. 037's age suggests they are at least in their 50s, judging by their appearance and physical features, it's not unreasonable to say they're in their early 30s. Furthermore, judging by the size and decor of their bedroom, they likely come from a wealthy family.
The woman, her eyes slightly swollen and red from crying, kept complaining, "It's all my fault. I knew Xiaobao had always been concerned about her looks, but I didn't have that worry myself. I thought Xiaobao was overthinking it, that it wasn't a serious problem, and I even hurt her with words like 'looking good can be troublesome.' She must have been so upset! When I wrote that in my diary, it was stained with water. She must have cried..."
——Hearing this, No. 037 in the extradition office felt a little embarrassed: "Oh, my diary... I have the habit of writing a diary by hand, especially in the past year or so after the failed plastic surgery. Not only was I afraid to look in the mirror, I even dared not look at the screen of my mobile phone or computer, for fear that my face would be reflected in the black screen. So I wrote my diary more diligently. But before I died, I was in a very bad mood and forgot to burn it. It was so embarrassing. Why would my mother still read my diary? It's my privacy..."
The couple in the picture on the wall cannot hear their daughter's belated little complaints from the underworld.
The man didn't respond, and the woman didn't care. She continued to sob, "A few years ago, when she turned 18, she said she wanted plastic surgery, and I scolded her. I was wrong. If I had talked to her properly at the time, she wouldn't have secretly saved money and done plastic surgery without asking for permission."
"Even if she chooses plastic surgery in the end, I, as her mother, should be with her and help her choose a doctor carefully. How can a little girl like her know whether it's legitimate or not..."
"After her face was ruined, she stayed home for over a year and her mood got worse and worse. I was angry that she didn't like to go out, and I just told her that going out would make her feel better... Well, she finally did go out, and ended up running to the rooftop and jumping off the building. It must have been painful, Xiaobao..."
"She always says she's ugly and even suspects she's not her biological daughter. I'm an incompetent mother and can't say anything to comfort her, but I really don't think she's ugly. How could I let my daughter worry in her diary that she was disliked by her mother because she's ugly? How could a mother dislike her own daughter? I gave birth to three children before I had her."
The man put his arm around the woman's shoulders and said, "I know, and Xiaobao knows too. Now that Xiaobao is gone, Ah Ying, don't blame yourself anymore. Xiaobao will be sad if he knows."
"Actually, it's not just you as a mother who hasn't had a proper conversation with Xiaobao. I, as a father, am also not competent enough. I always treat Xiaobao's troubles as the common worries of adolescent girls. I didn't expect that her appearance would be so painful for her..."
"Did you really not expect it?" Qi Ying shook off her husband Li Ming's hand with a somewhat cold tone.
Li Ming was stunned. "Aying, why do you say that? Are you questioning me?"
Qi Ying half cried and half laughed as she took out a stack of documents from the bedside table and threw it at Li Ming's face: "Tell me why I said that! You lied to me, but why did you even suspect your daughter wasn't your biological child? And you still don't tell her the truth! Why don't you tell her the truth..."
Li Ming picked up the information and took a look at it, his face changed drastically.
That was the bill for his past plastic surgery...
Qi Ying choked up and said, "Xiaobao doesn't look like any of us. I admit that I suspected the hospital might have taken the wrong baby. But I recorded the entire birth process and burned it into a commemorative disc. I've watched it, and there's no chance of a mistake. So I thought it might be genetic variation or something. Anyway, it's not impossible to explain. I never doubted you..."
"But you've been lying to me from the beginning! You were still lying to me just now... If you didn't understand Xiaobao's pain, why would you have chosen to have plastic surgery back then?"
Li Ming clutched the paper tightly: "Aying, how did you know this..."
Qi Ying's smile was uglier than crying: "How ridiculous! The truth has been exposed, and this is your first concern?"
Li Ming licked his dry lips nervously: "I..."
"How did I know this... I should have known it earlier. It's all my fault for trusting you too much. I thought that even though you occasionally bought luxury goods and made large expenses, the frequency wasn't high and it wasn't anything out of the ordinary, so I never thought of checking your bank statements..."
"Until Xiaobao passed away, I missed her so much. I read her diary and found that she once wrote that a classmate recognized the luxury item you gave her as a fake. She was ridiculed for it, but she thought you didn't know the value of the item and got cheated, so she never made a fuss at home."
Qi Ying wiped away her tears. "It wasn't a big deal, but it was like Xiaobao's spirit in heaven reminded me. I don't know why I just find this strange. You bought so many luxury goods, how could you be so easily deceived?"
"Li Ming, I haven't discovered you all these years, not because you hid it well, but because I trusted you and never doubted you! Otherwise, you would have been discovered long ago!"
Li Ming threw away the documents and knelt down in front of Qi Ying without a second thought. He reached out to hold her hand and said, "Aying, listen to me. I... yes, I didn't tell you about my plastic surgery, but that's because I love you so much!"
"Back then, you were a renowned beauty, a daughter of a wealthy family, but I had nothing and was ugly. I had no choice but to take a gamble and rely on plastic surgery to at least have a presentable face so I could pursue you... I never thought my dream would come true. I love you so much and cherish our relationship so much that I dare not tell you the truth. I'm afraid you'll despise me, Ah Ying."
Qi Ying dodged his hand, her eyes filled with sorrow. "Li Ming, your 'dream come true' wasn't because of your face after plastic surgery, but because of the scheme you used to scheme against me... Have you forgotten what you did?"
Li Ming recalled something and his face turned even paler.
Qi Ying tearfully questioned him, "Have you forgotten that it was you who spread rumors about me back in school? You said I had plastic surgery, that I only published papers by sleeping with professors, that I made my money by prostituting myself... What great rumors! So many people believed them and came to see me make a fool of myself, but you didn't. A man once blocked me in the alley outside the school and asked me how much I wanted, and you were the one who stepped forward to save me."
"So when you confessed your feelings to me, I thought, although you don't have a high level of education, you dropped out of school early because your parents died young and your family was poor. So it's normal that you can't find a good job and can only work as a network administrator in an internet cafe outside of school. You are already very optimistic and hardworking."
"You believed in me, comforted me, and saved me when no one else believed me. You're such a rare man... So much so that before we got married, I discovered you were in debt. You said it was from my grandparents' medical treatment before they passed away. Not only did I believe you, I even helped you pay it back..."
"I helped you pay back the money you borrowed for plastic surgery. How ridiculous of me!"
"What's even more ridiculous is that I didn't expect that after all these years I would find out that it was you who took advantage of your position as the network administrator and the fact that many students from our school would use your computers to fabricate rumors and cause trouble for me!"
"The thug who blocked my way back then was your 'good brother,' and you've been in contact with that good brother for all these years! Haha, that makes it easy for me to know the truth of that year."
