Mind reading saves the whole family; I'm firmly in the role of a charlatan.

Chapter 159 The Long Road to Winning Back His Wife

Not only Li Manzhi, but even Lü Jingzhu was amused by Li Zhaoyang's inexplicably disheveled appearance. The panic and helplessness she felt when she met her ex-boyfriend again after many years of separation also faded away.

"Were you beaten up?"

Li Zhaoyang covered the bruises on his face and smiled somewhat foolishly: "Are you worried about me?"

Lü Jingzhu: "???" Where did this guy get this conclusion from!

Li Manzhi: "..." Could it be that Yu Xi's cousin has lost his mind from being beaten?

Lu Jingzhu rolled her eyes speechlessly: "I'm just curious which righteous person is so powerful that they beat you up like this. They are truly a role model for us all, and it's very satisfying!"

Instead of being angry when she said that, Li Zhaoyang became even more excited: "You have such a good impression of her, why don't you meet her? She also wants to meet you."

Lü Jingzhu: "..." Is this guy unable to understand human language? How come I never realized before that communicating with him was so difficult!
Li Manzhi looked on with sympathy, thinking that his brain had indeed been damaged and he was now talking nonsense.

"Mother……"

The atmosphere between the two was delicate when a childish voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Yiheng." Lu Jingzhu subconsciously shielded her son behind her, afraid that Li Zhaoyang would see him, and then grabbed the child's hand to walk out.

However, Li Zhaoyang had come today specifically for the mother and son, so how could he just watch them disappear right under his nose? He took a step forward and rushed up to them, shamelessly laughing, "Aren't you going to introduce us?"

"No need. It's getting late, we're going home. Please move aside, sir."

Li Zhaoyang was hurt by her cold and distant attitude, and sighed with a hint of disappointment: "Jingzhu, I know I was wrong back then. I only found out later that the person I slept with that night was you. That woman lied to me. I thought I had really done something to wrong you, so when you said you wanted to break up, that's why I..."

"Enough! If you really didn't do anything, how could you not have any suspicions when she lied to you? I think you've had this lustful thought for a long time, but you just didn't have the guts. As a result, after drinking, the alcohol emboldened you, and you immediately exposed your true nature!"

Lu Jingzhu's words were really based on robber logic, and I thought Li Zhaoyang would definitely be angry now.

Unexpectedly, the other person's thought process was unusual. Hearing her say this, his face flushed instantly. Touching his cheek, he said with a slightly swaying expression, "You figured it out. I really did have lustful thoughts about you but no courage to act on them. I never thought that night, after drinking so much, I would be so impulsive and end up having a child with you..."

Lü Jingzhu: "..." Damn it, what are you so smug about? How can this person be so shameless!

Watching from the side, Li Manzhi's lips twitched uncontrollably, and she felt even more strongly that her cheap cousin was truly a talent.

No matter what a girl says to him, he can always internalize it and interpret it in a way that he can accept, leaving you feeling like you're punching cotton, and you're suffocating with frustration!

The tug-of-war between the two continued, and the luxury car convoy lingered in front of the kindergarten for too long, attracting more and more parents like Li Manzhi to linger and watch.

Li Manzhi had only been watching the commotion for a while when she heard two elderly women who had come to pick up their children huddled together, pointing and whispering about the two people involved.

"These young people these days have so many tricks up their sleeves. They already have kids and they still make such a big show of it. It's really an eye-opener for us old ladies."

"But I heard from Yang's mother in the next class that the child's mother got pregnant out of wedlock at a young age and raised the child alone. She never heard of the child having a father."

The old lady who had started the conversation suddenly widened her eyes: "Pregnant out of wedlock? No father? Then this man is... they wouldn't be..." Seeing that the conversation was about to veer into something inappropriate between the young couple, Li Manzhi quickly interrupted them: "Aunties, it's really not what you think. I have a relative who knows these two, and the man really is the child's biological father, but..."

"But..." The two grandmothers' attention was immediately drawn when they heard there was some juicy gossip to be had.

"It's just that the two of them had a misunderstanding earlier..."

Li Manzhi's original intention was to tell the two that Li Zhaoyang and Lü Jingzhu were indeed boyfriend and girlfriend before, but due to the machinations of some people, the woman misunderstood that the man was two-timing her, which led her to run away with the baby in anger.

Unexpectedly, the two grandmothers only listened to half of what was said. When they learned that the man was two-timing them, their attitudes immediately changed completely.

"My God, that's too bad! Dating two girls at the same time, messing around even though he has a girlfriend, you can't have a man like that. Young lady, don't be soft-hearted. Two-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere. Don't hang yourself on one tree."

"Exactly! If he does this kind of thing while they're dating, he'll only get worse after they get married. We can't let him fool us with a few sweet words. How can a scumbag like that deserve a wife?"

Li Manzhi: "..." No, let me finish! [Erkang gesture]

Li Zhaoyang: "???" What's going on? Did I offend these aunties? Why does it feel like someone's holding me back?!

"Jingzhu, it's not what you think. I've only ever been with you. That woman is a liar, she..."

"I don't care about your relationship at all, get out of my way."

"Mom, who is this uncle?"

Seeing that he couldn't reason with Lü Jingzhu, Li Zhaoyang tried a roundabout approach: "Hello, little friend, I'm your father."

"Li Zhaoyang, don't go too far. Who gave you permission to claim children as your own? My son has nothing to do with you."

“Jingzhu, I already checked before I came, he really is…”

Li Zhaoyang's words did not calm Lü Jingzhu down; instead, they made her even more agitated. The tension and panic of fearing the loss of her child completely overwhelmed her, making her subconsciously want to stop Li Zhaoyang from continuing.

"I'll show you! I'll show you!" Lü Jingzhu grabbed the roses Li Zhaoyang was holding and used them as a weapon to whip him hard on the head several times.

In an instant, petals fluttered down, and someone's face became even more colorful.

Lu Jingzhu acted impulsively. Once she calmed down and realized she had caused trouble, she immediately threw the flowers on the ground, picked up the child, and ran away.

Li Zhaoyang was stunned for a few seconds after being slapped. After recovering, he quickly chased after her. If nothing unexpected happens, the classic scene of him chasing her and her running away with no way to escape should soon unfold.

Li Manzhi witnessed everything clearly. On one hand, she sighed that Mr. Li's road to winning back his wife was long and he still needed to work hard. On the other hand, she shamelessly posted everything that happened at the school gate to the family group so that everyone could gossip together.

So, the Du family members, who had already returned home early and were waiting for dinner, all felt their phones vibrate at the same time. They took them out and looked...

"Pfft..."
