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

Chapter 368 Does your family need another daughter?

Du Anrao's barrage of words left Li Qianxi speechless, much to the delight of the onlookers and viewers in the live stream.

[I hereby declare that this young lady is my temporary online verbal replacement. Her arguments against manipulative women are logically flawless and clearly articulated—it's incredibly satisfying.]

Putting everything else aside, I really need this girl's mouth! Because of my work, I often come into contact with all sorts of weirdos. Every time I get so angry, I'm too tongue-tied to retort, and it takes me ages to remember what to say. By then, it's too late. Every time I think about it, I get so angry that I can't sleep at night.

It's so satisfying to see someone like this directly confront someone they don't like! I can't imagine how happy I would be if I had a mouth like hers.

[Don't leave, upstairs sister! I really empathize with you.]

[…Okay, I admit I was too naive. When that woman was talking, my mind went blank for a moment. All sorts of currently popular melodramatic elements flashed through my mind—conspiracy theories about wealthy families, inheritance battles, all sorts of trendy tropes—and I almost got swayed.]

[Is that a guy? It's true, nine and a half out of ten men can't see through a green tea bitch. That woman's mouth was so overpowering, I could barely breathe. And every time she couldn't win an argument, she'd start acting weak. Even though she started it, she always acted like she was the one being bullied. It's so annoying.]

[Am I getting off-topic? Nobody even noticed she's a fake heiress, a fake heiress, a fake heiress—I have to say it three times. A fake heiress with no blood relation is fighting the real heiress for inheritance, and doing it so publicly. It really proves the saying, "Shamelessness knows no bounds."]

The house has been rented for over ten years, so it's mine now. If you rent it to someone else in the future, remember to give me a share of the rent. And if it's demolished and redeveloped, you must give me half the compensation, right?

[...This explanation cleared my head instantly. No wonder the young lady called her selfish and a born bad seed. Genetics is sometimes a truly mysterious thing; the parents weren't good people, but the child turned out to be even worse. Suddenly, I felt sorry for the Li family. They weren't just raising someone else's child; they were raising a living devil who wanted to kill their own family!]

Viewers in the live stream were busy expressing sympathy for the Li family, while the Li family was busy completely severing ties with Li Qianxi.

“An’an is right. It’s a favor to accept, and it’s our right not to accept. Before, we always thought that we had been family for more than ten years, and even if you were heartless, we couldn’t be too harsh. We just wanted to honor the friendship we had built up over the past ten years. But now it seems that excessive compassion is just indulgence. For someone like you, the more you give, the more greedy you become. You will never be satisfied.”

Li Qianxi's heart skipped a beat at her father's words, and a sense of foreboding suddenly arose within her.

Sure enough, the next second he said coldly, "Since you can remember, your two older brothers and sisters have received 100,000 yuan in pocket money every month. Considering that you are not in good health and need money when you go out occasionally, we have given you 200,000 yuan in pocket money every month. Starting from when you were five years old, until you were seventeen, a total of twelve years, that is 28.8 million yuan."

As soon as Mr. Li said this, the coffee shop fell silent, and the live stream went blank for a few seconds.

A few seconds later, a flurry of comments began to appear.

[Damn, 200,000 yuan in pocket money a month? I don't earn that much in a year!]

Two hundred thousand a month, that's two million four hundred thousand a year, enough to buy a decent apartment in my small, third-tier city. The happiness of rich kids is so simple and unpretentious.

[Is this the humiliation and abuse that woman was talking about? If you don't want it, you can give it to me. I can endure this kind of abuse, so please don't hold back and abuse me as much as you want!]

[Hey upstairs, put on some pants! It might be a bit presumptuous, but I still want to ask, do you need another daughter? 100,000 a month, no, 50,000 is fine. I'll definitely stay home and be a good little vase, no trouble, no scheming, no vying for attention, no causing any problems!]

Li's father was unaware that a group of strangers online had suddenly appeared, eager to become his son or daughter. After calculating the basic living expenses, he immediately turned to Li's mother and gave her a wink. Li's mother understood and stepped forward to continue, saying, "Besides that, your clothing and jewelry for each season are regularly coordinated by a private designer and luxury stores. When you left, you took all the jewelry and some clothes from your private safe. I will have someone settle the exact amount and send you the bill later."

"Bills...bills?" Li Qianxi's face turned pale instantly, clearly she had never thought of returning these things.

Seeing this, Li Yuesheng crossed her arms and chuckled, "Didn't you say that all the good things our family did for you were just to ruin you? If that's the case, how can we continue to harm you? Naturally, we have to take back everything we did to ruin you, so that we can be even and go our separate ways cleanly!"

"Are you... are you trying to force me to my death?"

Li Yuesheng laughed in anger: "You make it sound so serious. So taking back what's ours is like forcing you to die. According to your logic, those who can't repay their bank loans can just act like scoundrels and say that the bank's collection efforts are like trying to kill them. In that case, do you think the judge would side with the bank or with the borrowers?"

"you!"

"Paying back debts is a matter of course. If you insist on refusing to pay this money, that's fine too. We can just gather the necessary documents and file a lawsuit, as long as you're not afraid of being blacklisted and subject to enforcement."

"Cousin, are you really going to go this far?"

Li Yuesheng's face darkened instantly: "Don't call me cousin. I don't have a sister like you. The thought that I've cherished and protected someone like you all these years makes me feel disgusted."

Li Qianxi staggered, her face ashen, looking as if she had suffered a great blow.

"I thought that after all these years with me, you were different from them. But I've really disappointed me!"

Li Yuesheng: "..."

The Li family members: "..."

Du family members: Pfft...

Du Anrao saw Li Yuesheng's face darken because of Li Qianxi's words and looked at her with sympathy.

"Alright, stop flattering us. If you love money, just admit it. If you're shameless, just admit it. If you honestly admit your greed and ambition, we might look at you with more respect. But someone like you, who acts hypocritically, makes my eyes hurt just looking at you."

"Shut up! It's all because of you! If it weren't for you, none of this would have happened. It's all your fault! I..."

Hearing Li Qianxi's outburst and shouting, both families tensed up instantly, fearing that Li Qianxi might suddenly lash out and hurt Du Anrao.

Just then, a loud voice came from outside the door.

"Li Qianxi, who is Li Qianxi?"
