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

Chapter 357 Everyone Wants to Go Eat Melon

"Pfft...cough cough cough..." The people drinking porridge at the table all choked, and for a moment the restaurant was filled with coughing sounds, making it quite chaotic.

Du Anrao was also drawn by the sound of the group's coughing, and quickly got up to help Du Yuxi pour water for them.

"Was the porridge not cooked properly today? Why are so many people choking?"

Everyone: "..." No, no, no, it has nothing to do with the porridge. You're the one who made us choke.

After finally getting the table quiet down again, Du Anrao had a chance to continue reading the text message that had triggered the chaos.

Perhaps worried that Du Anrao might misunderstand, Li Qianxi started her text messages as "Miss Du Anrao" instead of "Miss Du," completely shattering Du Anrao's last shred of hope.

【Wait, what's wrong with this female lead? Why isn't she challenging the fourth sister instead of being resentful?】

After Du Anrao finished complaining, he suddenly remembered something and realized what was going on.

Could it be that she's trying to get back at Fourth Sister by causing trouble for me? Yes, that must be it! Should I go?

Go where? This woman is obviously up to no good. Are you going to deliver yourself to her death?

Although with their little guy's abilities, if they really went, who knows who would be the one to get killed.

After hesitating for a moment, Du Anrao finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and decided to make the trip, but...

"Mom and Dad, Sister, Li Qianxi asked me to meet her at a coffee shop not far from the next street this afternoon. She said she wants to talk to me alone about something."

"Pfft...cough cough cough..."

As soon as Du Anrao finished speaking, a series of coughs rose from the table.

They were all prepared to do everything in their power to prevent the child from seeing Li Qianxi, but she just went straight to the point, making it impossible to defend against her.

Mrs. Du was the first to recover her senses: "What did you say? Li Qianxi asked you out? Why would she ask you out for no reason? I'm not going."

“That’s right. What good intentions could a weasel have when it comes to paying New Year’s visits to chickens? An’an, don’t be afraid. Leave this to us. We’ll make sure she doesn’t dare to bother you again.”

Mrs. Li was also very angry. After returning from the hospital, Li Yuesheng told them what she had heard in front of Gong Haoming's ward.

Even though she knew all along that Li Qianxi was an ungrateful wretch, she couldn't help but feel her heart sink and her eyes see stars from her treacherous rumors.

Upon learning that Li Qianxi actually intended to cause trouble for the Du Anrao sisters, he became even more furious.

She felt that her previous approach of only having her husband kick that ingrate out and sever ties was too lenient, which allowed the little bitch to still dare to run around outside, showing no signs of learning her lesson.

Du Anrao, biting his chopsticks, blinked at the tense expressions on everyone's faces and said, "Mom, Auntie, I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush. It's precisely because I don't know what she wants to ask me to do that I'm thinking of going to see what she can come up with."

Mrs. Du's face darkened again: "How could you be so bold, child? That man is a hypocrite who would do anything for profit. What if..."

"Mom, let me finish. She wanted to talk to me alone, but I didn't agree."

"……What's the meaning?"

"It means I can go, but whoever is free can come with me. When we arrive, you guys hide nearby so I can meet her first. That way, if she tries anything bad, you can show up in time to protect me."

"This..." The people at the table looked at each other, somewhat hesitant.

Seeing this, Du Anrao quickly pressed on: "Aren't you curious about what she wanted to say to me?" The people present exchanged glances and said with feigned remorse: "She's probably going to say some nonsense that distorts the truth and stirs up trouble again."

"But since she's come to us, wouldn't it make her think we're all afraid of her if we didn't go?"

“That’s right, so even knowing she’s going to say some rubbish, I’m still going to this trap! I want to see what kind of vile and foul language she can spout.”

As Du Anrao listened to everyone's self-strategies, the corners of his mouth twitched violently a few times.

[As expected, gossiping is human nature. Even the most capable people find it hard to resist the urge to meddle. The way you guys try to justify yourselves is truly unbearable to watch.]

The crowd, who are usually obsessed with gossip: "..." Stop cursing!
"Then it's settled. You guys discuss it and see who's free to go with me."

As soon as Du Anrao said this, everyone immediately started a heated discussion.

Mr. and Mrs. Du: "We are An'an's parents. This matter concerns An'an's safety. We should go for her, both morally and logically."

Du Junyan: "I am An'an's older brother, so I have to protect her. Of course I have to go."

Du Hexuan: "Then I will too..."

The Du family members said, "You don't need to go. As a big star, you'll attract too much attention and cause trouble."

"Yes, yes, and you said you had to fill in for a last-minute variety show this afternoon, so how could you have time to gossip with An'an? Oh no, I mean, to fight crime and protect the innocent."

"That's right, so don't cause any trouble. We'll protect An'an, don't worry."

Du Hexuan, who was labeled as a troublemaker, was speechless. "..." This is so discriminatory towards big stars. Big stars also have the right to gossip.

Du Yuxi: "The matter started because of me, so it wouldn't be right for me not to get involved."

Li Zhaoyang: "Yes, yes, that wretched child came from our family. There's no reason for An'an to face her alone. We all have to go."

Mr. and Mrs. Li wholeheartedly agreed: "Zhaoyang is right, we all have to go."

Du Anrao: "..."

The final decision was that everyone except Du Hexuan, who needed to be there to save the day and couldn't leave, would go.

Lu Jingzhu wanted to go and watch the excitement, but considering that the two might be talking about something that was not suitable for children, and that she was really worried about leaving the child alone at home, she had no choice but to stay and wait for Li Zhaoyang and the others to broadcast the live.

The Li family could come along, but considering that Li Qianxi had spent over a decade with them and must be very familiar with them, they decided against it.

Therefore, we didn't let them follow too closely. We chose a spot next door, separated by a wall, where no one could see us. This way, we could avoid being discovered, and if anything happened, they could appear in time.

Du Yuxi was the same. Li Qianxi had been secretly watching her for so long that she must have memorized every move and every detail of her appearance. Even just a glimpse of her back could be enough to make her recognized. So she went next door with the Li family.

The only people in the coffee shop were Mr. Du, Mrs. Du, and Du Junyan, who had changed his clothes and was temporarily playing the role of a waiter.

Li Qianxi and Du Anrao had arranged to meet at 3 PM, but both families arrived at 2 PM to make arrangements in advance.

Du Anrao was the last to enter the coffee shop, just in time. Li Qianxi saw her coming from afar and immediately stood up.

"Miss Du, this way, please have a seat."

Du Anrao dodged Li Qianxi's outstretched hand, sat down in his seat, and said bluntly, "Get to the point. My time is very precious."
