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

Chapter 313 The vicious thoughts

Click——

Du Yuxi was holding a flute she had casually brought with her when she suddenly learned that Du Anrao had been in a car accident. Before the incident, she was busy completing her elective music course assignment.

Now, things have gotten even worse. Her homework tools were cruelly broken in her emotional outburst, which also frightened Du Anrao, who was sitting next to her.

"sister?!"

"It's nothing." Du Yuxi calmly tossed the broken flute aside and made up a story. "I just saw a news report about an old man with a lot of relatives and descendants, but no one was willing to take care of him in his old age. Only the neighbor's children took pity on him and took care of him for more than ten years, caring for him until his death. The old man reciprocated by leaving a will bequeathing his house and all his savings to the neighbor couple who took care of him."

"and after?"

Du Anrao was immediately intrigued, instinctively feeling that this matter was not so simple; some people's greed could not be subdued by simply producing a few thin wills.

Sure enough, the next second Du Yuxi said, "Later, when the old man's relatives and younger generations found out about this, they took a car overnight and rushed back, demanding that the neighbor couple return the old man's inheritance. Ironically, the day they rushed back was the seventh day after the old man's death."

"His blood relatives only learned of his death seven days later, and their rush back was not to say a final goodbye, but to covet the inheritance he left behind."

"That's just human nature!" Du Anrao sighed. "Sister, you're angry about this? Do you really think these relatives are going to take back the old man's inheritance?"

"No, the court ruled that the will was valid, and the old man's estate went to the couple who had supported him for more than ten years."

"If that's the case, why are you still angry?"

"I saw a bunch of idiots in the comments section criticizing the old man and the couple, and speaking up for his relatives. It made my blood pressure rise and I couldn't control my emotions for a moment."

"...Okay." This is indeed quite infuriating.

While the two were talking, the family group chat was already buzzing with activity.

The boss is very reliable: Who is Gong Haoming?
It was only then that everyone realized that when they went to Madam Li's dinner party earlier, Du Junyan was still diligently working at the company and hadn't gotten any information about the Gong family's affairs.

Patriarch Number Two: The youngest son born to the eldest son of the Gong family.

Du Junyan: "???" Eldest son? What kind of feudal and outdated term is this?
Erlege: An'an jokingly called him a useless little scavenger, who has no skills whatsoever and relies entirely on his mother's output, yet still manages to win without lifting a finger.

The boss is very reliable: ...

The boss is very reliable: Why is it that I can understand your words individually, but they are so incomprehensible when put together?

Finally, Du Yuxi, the thoughtful little girl, gave her older brother a brief explanation of the Gong family's chaotic relationships and the role Gong Haoming played in them.

Du Junyan was greatly shocked after hearing this. The world is truly vast and full of wonders. The bottom line of some people is really shocking. He still hasn't seen enough of the world.

Du Anrao had no idea that his older brother had secretly taken a bite out of the Gong family's business right under his nose. At this moment, his worldview was in complete disarray, and he was still trying to comfort Du Yuxi.

"A big forest has all sorts of things, and a big pigsty has a lot of livestock. Sister, don't get angry over these weirdos; it's not worth ruining your health." [I didn't expect my fourth sister to be such a passionate person, getting so engrossed in the news. If she knew about my cousin's situation, wouldn't she be furious?]

Du Yuxi's lips twitched a few times as she said, "It's okay, I'm not angry anymore."

But inside, he was itching with anxiety. "Then hurry up and tell me! I want to see just how infuriating this is!"

The plot involving Li Yuesheng occurs in the very later stages. Because Du Anrao did not intervene, Li Qianxi hid herself very well in the early stages, and the Li family never suspected that she was not a member of the Li family.

When she finally revealed her true colors, the Li family worried that if Li Yuesheng found out about these upsetting things while abroad, it would affect her studies, so they all chose to keep it a secret.

Before this, Li Yuesheng had absolute trust in Li Qianxi and had told her all the details of her kidnapping a long time ago. She never expected that the sister she trusted was the mastermind behind the kidnapping.

It was the combination of so many factors that gave Li Qianxi the opportunity to use Gong Haoming to impersonate Li Yuesheng's savior.

To be honest, Gong Haoming is the epitome of a spineless, incompetent, and superfluous idiot. Relying on his scheming mother who plots everything for him, his brain is barely bigger than a sesame seed; he believes everything Li Qianxi tells him. Li Yuesheng told him that she was living under someone else's roof in the Li family and had been abused by the Li family members, especially by Li Yuesheng herself, who had been constantly beating and verbally abusing her.

Then, subtly, she would implant the details of Li Yuesheng's kidnapping into Gong Haoming's mind, guiding him to impersonate her savior, use this identity to get close to Li Yuesheng, deceive her feelings, take everything she had, and avenge the suffering she had endured.

The Du family members: "..." What a vicious mind, what a vicious plan!

[Gong Haoming wasn't exactly known for his sharp mind, and after being provoked like that, he rolled up his sleeves without a second thought and went to cause trouble for Li Yuesheng. Meanwhile, the Li family was busy dealing with the betrayal by the male and female leads, completely unaware that their sister and daughter's home had already been raided.]

When Du Anrao saw this, he couldn't help but sigh, feeling regretful and disappointed.

This is the tragedy caused by information asymmetry. They're all family; why can't they just talk things out openly? Instead, they use the excuse of doing what's best for each other to hide things, and now look what's happened—a huge problem has arisen!

The Du family members agreed wholeheartedly, but upon calming down and thinking about it, they felt somewhat embarrassed. If they really wanted to investigate, they realized that they had indeed concealed some things from their precious child.

Mr. and Mrs. Du exchanged a glance. In fact, they had already begun to waver, but they had not yet found the right time to be honest with Du Anrao.

Du Anrao was unaware of her family's inner turmoil; at that moment, she was still mentally criticizing Gong Haoming.

I've heard of people sacrificing themselves for art, but to sacrifice oneself for another woman for love—I've never seen anything like it before. He's gone to such lengths as to be a simp; he deserves to end up with nothing.

Du Yuxi's heart skipped a beat when she heard the word "sacrifice".

In her opinion, this Gong Haoming is nothing but a hypocrite. He was scheming from the beginning and was impersonating someone else. If something really happens, her cousin will be the one who suffers the most!
Fortunately, the next second, Du Anrao said with a hint of schadenfreude.

However, even if he wanted to offer himself, his cousin from the Li family wouldn't approve. What era are we living in? That old-fashioned idea of ​​repaying a life-saving debt with one's body is so outdated!

Du family members: Pfft...

Du Yuxi: "..." For a moment, she didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
