Chapter 228 - 226: Boyfriend on the Run

Seeing the short-haired girl’s embarrassed red face, the audience couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

"Beauty, your online name may be a bit retro, but it’s like a tattoo artist closing their eyes – showing off all over me!"

"I thought with a name like that, it was some creepy dude."

"+1! I also thought it was one of those sleazy fat guys like the ’Straight to the Stomach’ earlier!"

"Did the fat guy eat your family’s rice? Why call him sleazy?"

"Exactly, I’m not fat, but I’m sleazy too!"

"You, man, are quite something! Big thumbs up to you!"

"Miss, may I ask, what kind of noodles did you cook?"

"I guess it’s alkaline water noodles!"

"Buckwheat dragon whisker noodles, have you tried it?"

"If it’s not seafood abalone noodles, I won’t eat it!"

"Brother, your standards are really high! I don’t have such high standards, a bowl of plain soup noodles is fine."

"I’ve realized it now, all of you are noodle experts!"

"I hope the noodles you’re all talking about are the same as the noodles I’m thinking of."

"So the question is, what kind of noodles are you thinking of?"

While the audience was habitually getting off topic, Lu Heng smiled and said, "So it’s Young Friend Zhou!"

"I wonder what Young Friend Zhou plans to calculate tonight?"

Zhou, hearing this, shook her head slightly.

She smiled and replied, "To be honest, being chosen by you tonight was unexpected for me."

"I’ve always had bad luck, never won a prize from childhood till now."

"Winning today is the first time in my 25-year life."

Saying this, she looked at the pregnant girl next to her and sighed, "Master, let me introduce to you, this is my good friend Xiaomeng."

"Though I was chosen for a fortune-telling session tonight, I’m not planning to tell mine."

"I’d like to ask you to help tell my friend’s boyfriend’s fortune."

Tell the fortune... of a boyfriend?

Hearing this, Lu Heng was slightly taken aback.

That’s quite a twist!

He glanced at Zhou’s good friend.

With such a big belly, here to tell the boyfriend’s fortune...

Could it be that the boyfriend has run away?

"Young Friend Zhou, what’s going on with your friend’s boyfriend? Could you explain briefly?"

Lu Heng asked curiously.

"Sigh!"

Hearing this, Zhou couldn’t help but sigh again.

She turned to look at her friend Xiaomeng, signaling her to speak.

But Xiaomeng started crying again, tears falling patter-patter onto the table.

Seeing her looking so pitiful, Zhou had to speak for her, "Master, here’s the situation..."

"Xiaomeng and her boyfriend met online around February the year before last."

"According to her, they both love playing games, and as they played more, they got closer."

"First, they just chatted regularly, then they started voice chatting, and finally video chatting."

"Xiaomeng said her boyfriend might not be that handsome, but he’s gentle and considerate, so they decided to date offline."

"It was probably last year, after they met up, Xiaomeng and her boyfriend started living together."

"I met that boyfriend twice, and he was quite nice in how he handled things."

"After they had been together for a while, Xiaomeng found out she was pregnant. Her boyfriend said they could keep the baby and then get married."

"Seeing Xiaomeng with a good future made me, as her friend, very happy."

"In the first five months of Xiaomeng’s pregnancy, her boyfriend was very responsible, managing work and household affairs very well."

"Back then, we even praised Xiaomeng, saying she had good taste in choosing such a reliable man."

"But who knew..."

At this point, Zhou suddenly changed her tone and gritted her teeth, "But who knew, just a month ago, Xiaomeng’s boyfriend suddenly vanished without a trace!"

"Such a big living person, just inexplicably disappeared!"

"We called him, but his phone was turned off."

"Then we called his parents. They answered but didn’t know where their son went either."

"Having no other choice, we went to his company to ask the manager about him."

"But the company manager told us that he resigned a month ago, and they didn’t know his whereabouts."

"Now look, Xiaomeng is about to give birth, and the man is nowhere to be found..."

Though Zhou finished speaking, the anger in her eyes lingered on.

She even slammed the table hard to express her indignation and frustration.

"Boohoo..."

Beside her, Xiaomeng cried even harder with her wound reopened.

The audience, witnessing this scene, was left speechless.

"We used to say picking a wife requires looking at character, but doesn’t picking a husband require the same?"

"Speechless! Could it be that the boyfriend has some purebred ancestry? Running away when the girlfriend is pregnant?"

"I know, I know, it’s the little sunshine rainbow white horse!"

"Deedeedeedeedee, deedeedeedeedeedee, deeda!"

"It’s obviously a very sad thing, why am I laughing?"

"This guy is ruthless, soothing for five months, then sneaking away..."

"Damn! Afraid of getting your girlfriend pregnant, why didn’t you take some precautions back then?"

"Yeah, now there’s a life involved and he’s slipped away, that’s really despicable!"

"But we can’t just listen to Young Friend Zhou’s side of the story, right?"

"What if there’s unspeakable secrets hidden in this?"

"Could it be that the boyfriend found out the child isn’t his?"

"Whoa, isn’t this the master’s specialty?"

Seeing some viewers’ doubts, Zhou raised her eyebrows instantly.

She retorted angrily, "Xiaomeng has only had this one boyfriend since graduating from college."

"What do you mean the child isn’t her boyfriend’s?"

Hearing her say this, some viewers also joined the argument.

"What, are you her? How can you be so sure she’s only had one boyfriend?"

"Boyfriend, indeed only one! But how many intimate men, who knows."

"The man was diligent for the first five months, why suddenly run away later? There must be a reason!"

"If there’s really nothing wrong, why would he run away?"

"If he was dead set on not taking responsibility, he probably would’ve left long ago without taking care of you for five months?"

"I agree with this! Surely the man discovered something..."

The scrolling comments on the screen seemed to be making excuses for that scumbag, causing Zhou to fume.

She gritted her teeth so hard they made a chattering sound.

Her pretty face flushed red with the rising anger in her heart.

"What are you defending him for?"

"Leaving a pregnant woman about to give birth—is that something a good man can do?"

Zhou, not backing down at all, continued to argue with the viewers.

But at the same time, her friend Xiaomeng quietly lowered her head...
