Fate Trading System – Chapter 227

Plan A

Heavenly Voice 18

Finale

When Yan Shuang’s “Father-in-law” came out, Su Xin saw her stepfather’s face turn as black as if he’d eaten shit.

Right in the feels¹.

In another city, Lin Weiyan almost fell out of bed when he heard the news.

After confirming again and again that this wasn’t a joke, Lin Weiyan regulated his breathing.

Actually, Lin Weiyan was a bit worried that his sister had gone down that path because of him, perhaps becoming twisted after failing to get what she desired or something.

Su Xin didn’t care what he thought. What others thought was their business; living her own life well was enough.

Su Xin’s attitude here was direct, and Yan Shuang’s side was even simpler and cruder.

She directly called her parents to come out², then very rationally negotiated terms.

“Descendants? I think you don’t need to consider this issue, because this is between her and me. To tell you accurately now, the two of us do not need descendants.”

“An heir? Inherit what? If you’re not awake yet, go back to sleep.”

“This isn’t a loss, this isn’t an investment. Risk? I have already avoided these.”

Yan Shuang hung up the phone and casually stuffed it into Su Xin’s arms.

“It doesn’t matter if your parents don’t acknowledge me anyway. It’s not like I’m living with them. As long as you acknowledge me, that’s enough.”

“It’s fine. The older they get, the more muddled their minds become.”

Yan Shuang continued driving, only speaking again after a while.

“Yan Xi and I grew up freely since childhood. We rarely saw them, even during the New Year.”

“Was it upsetting?”

“It was at first, but later I didn’t feel anything. Got used to it. But they’re okay; as long as it doesn’t affect their interests, we can still talk properly.”

Her family members delineated interests very clearly; anything could be explicitly priced.

Including marriage and everything else.

“They said my marriage with you is a failed investment, with significant losses in future returns and high risks, because feelings are variables.”

“But I feel this is a deal where I can only profit, never lose, because what I want to gain isn’t anything else, but happiness value.”

Yan Shuang curled her lip. They didn’t know what she wanted, so they criticized her mistakes from their perspective.

Different paths, no common ground³. The starting points were different from the very beginning, so how could they be expected to understand? Divergent paths would not lead to the same destination.

“Then their lives must be very unhappy.”

Su Xin offered a concluding remark.

“Mm, yeah. Luckily, I won’t be like them.”

“Because you have me.”

“Because I have you.”

When Su Xin was dense, she could make people wish they could take a wooden stick and whack her head hard to make her understand; sometimes, when really angry, they might even want to bash her head in. Once she understood certain things and had her epiphany, the person she acknowledged felt like they were soaking in honey, able to ascend to heaven with happiness every day.

She never hesitated to share her sweet words with the person she acknowledged. She was very direct—if you like someone, then say it; since the feelings are mutual, then be together.

If all love in the world were this direct and simple, perhaps there wouldn’t be so many misunderstandings. Su Xin didn’t like misunderstandings; even in death, she wanted to die knowing the truth clearly.

Yan Shuang and Su Xin held a wedding. This wedding was among close friends and family; only a few people attended. However, if anyone in the know had entered and seen the attendees, they would definitely have been greatly stirred; these people were all top figures in their respective fields.

Yan Shuang was a research fanatic, and the friends she made were mostly in this area, all geniuses.

Su Xin didn’t really have any friends, nor did she particularly like making them. Among the original host’s connections, none were worth getting particularly close to or maintaining.

Yan Shuang used her influence, plus the company had always been heavily promoting her, and with Su Xin’s own efforts, the name ‘Lin Tang’ became famous throughout the country⁴.

Su Xin was practically a highly productive little expert⁵, immersed daily in practicing songwriting and singing. It was precisely because she was so prolific that becoming famous was even easier.

【Congratulations Host, task completed. Returning to System space to hand over to the Client.】

In the System space, Lin Tang witnessed Su Xin’s success. Indignant thoughts had crossed her mind.

If it had been her, she could have met Yan Shuang too, she could have had this kind of life too.

But the next moment, she realized her thinking was wrong. If it weren’t for this transaction, she might have lived her whole life in the shadow of those scumbags; she had neither the courage nor the ability to teach those people a lesson.

Different people, different personalities, different actions could lead the same matter to various different outcomes, even diametrically opposed ones⁶.

Lin Tang saw the issue very clearly, and it was precisely this clarity that spared her much pain.

“Thank you. Goodbye.”

Lin Tang bowed slightly and walked towards the light source.

“This girl is quite nice, what a pity.”

Su Xin only sighed for a moment. There were too many unlucky and unfortunate people in this world.

【Host, choose to stay or leave?】

Stay.

Several years later, a piece of news was posted online, causing an explosion among major media outlets and intense reactions from fans.

It showed a photo of Song Queen Lin Tang kissing a beautiful woman. Not a trick angle, no Photoshop, a real-deal kiss.

With Fourteen around, how could Su Xin not know paparazzi⁷ were tailing her? She deliberately let them take such a photo.

Calculating the time, it was about right. The weather was nice today; it was time to come out with her lover.

@PeerlessBeauty: WTF⁸! Exciting! Explosive! Asking all the big shots to dig up who the girl kissing Tangtang is!

@BellsJingleJangle: Honestly, I was actually a straight girl before, but after seeing this photo, I suddenly want to turn bent⁹.

@QiaoLiuliu: Wake up, upstairs¹⁰. Looks¹¹ are the most important thing.

@Shoushou¹²: Upstairs hit a nerve.

When this matter came out, many fans expressed support for their idol’s choice, some remained neutral because the truth of the matter was still unknown, while some fans reacted more intensely, claiming they would turn into anti-fans¹³.

@PotatoChip: Sitting here waiting for the brain-dead fans¹⁴ to whitewash¹⁵ this.

@MagistrateSetsFiresNoLamps: Is there something wrong with upstairs? Whitewash what? Excuse me, does she have any black marks¹⁶? Is being a lesbian a stain? Did she eat your family’s rice¹⁷?

Su Xin generously admitted it on Weibo. The fans underneath had varying attitudes.

@LinTang-ys: Us.

【Image】

The image was a photo of hands clasped, fingers intertwined. The matching rings on their fingers were very conspicuous.

@PiggyHuoQubing¹⁸: Starting today, I’m heartbroken.

@DownstairsIsMyBottom: Heartbreak Brigade sightseeing check-in¹⁹.

@BaiBianXiaoYing²⁰: Checking in. Upstairs’ ID is terrifying.

@AndListenToTheWindSing: !!! I know who the person kissing Tangtang is! Even though it’s just a side profile! But I remember it super clearly! The genius of the medical world, Yan Shuang! Go search for her, you can definitely find her! This person is f%cking awesome!

Major media outlets updated their news very promptly, from the initial

SongQueenLinTangKissesWomanOutsideTheIndustryComingOut# to

SongQueenLinTang’sMysteriousLoverIsActuallyHer#.

Weibo detailed Yan Shuang’s life story, deeds, and contributions made. Below, a crowd of salted fish²¹ were shouting 666²².

@DreamPingSheng: I approve of this CP²³! Our Tangtang is super excellent! The person she likes is also this excellent!

@User111: F%ck, this kind of medicine was actually co-developed by this dead lesbian. Now I have to consider whether I should keep taking it in the future.

@ZiJin²⁴: Upstairs, please stop your medicine. Please, absolutely do not continue taking this medicine. Please go take someone else’s medicine. The thought that this excellent medicine, co-created by our great treasure’s²⁵ lover, actually entered the stomach of someone like you makes me really angry. Your illness can no longer be cured by taking this medicine; you should go take brain-damage pills.

@Singer: Speaking of which, I’ve seen them both in the supermarket. At the time, I just thought they were two very good-looking young ladies and didn’t think anything else of it at all. Although I stanned²⁶ Lin Tang back then, I had only heard her songs and hadn’t seen her in person. The interaction between them is really super loving. When I saw them, the Song Queen was hesitating whether to buy a snack because she had ‘heatiness’²⁷ recently but wanted to eat something spicy. Doctor Yan was lecturing her with a stern face, and the singer was acting coquettishly like a little girl, super adorable!

Yan Shuang couldn’t wait for Su Xin to tell the whole world about their relationship, so everyone would know Su Xin was already taken²⁸, saving any nameless Tom, Dick, or Harry²⁹ from trying to hit on Su Xin.

They lived warmly and peacefully for several decades. There weren’t many quarrels; there was the passion of romance, and also the ordinariness of an old married couple. They went out together to buy groceries, one pushing the shopping cart, the other picking out items in front. Their tastes were very similar, so there were no disputes.

When all the leaves had fallen from the tree in the yard, the two people living in the house also passed away like that.

Neither of them had children in their lifetime. Yan Shuang’s possessiveness was too strong; she didn’t want a child to appear and divert Su Xin’s attention. In the end, it was the descendants of Yan Xi and Lin Weiyan who arranged Su Xin and Yan Shuang’s final affairs, organized their funerals, and then buried them.

There are many things that you can’t obtain just because you want them.

People always have to yield to reality, yield to helplessness.

Yan Xi never got together with the girl who loved her most. They still weren’t suitable. In the end, she married a man who also loved her and whose worldview and thoughts³⁰ were very compatible with hers. Her life was quite comfortable, very good.

Actually, many things aren’t as simple as imagined. It’s not just about mutual affection, you liking me, and me liking you, allowing you to be together. Many aspects of worldview, personality will lead to incompatibility; even if together, they will separate later.

Lin Weiyan met his lifelong partner in the workplace. The two married, had children, and lived a happy and fulfilling life.

Worldly peace and stability.
