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

Chapter 372 You Treat People Like Good Brothers

At that time, Du Anrao had no idea that the person he had previously criticized would actually introduce him to a "business deal".

In fact, the way Li Qianxi's situation has developed has also surprised Du Anrao, mainly because...

Although I knew beforehand that this female lead had no morals or bottom line, actually running into her and learning about the awful things she did still left me somewhat shocked.

The people at the table exchanged furtive glances, then continued eating and drinking as if nothing had happened.

Du Anrao didn't notice anything unusual about the others. He took out his phone and browsed the online public opinion, chewing on his chopsticks thoughtfully.

The plot is so badly distorted now that even the author wouldn't recognize her. The female lead's business failed halfway through, and before she could even truly harm her fourth sister's family, she's behind bars. Of her many admirers, number one is already ruined, number two is half-ruined, and the rest are still weak and insignificant. At this point, the only one who can probably save her is probably the male lead, Jiang Yiming.

Everyone paused abruptly as they picked up food. Oh right, besides Li Qianxi, there was also her boyfriend Jiang Yiming. Was he going to cause trouble too?

Jiang Yiming is generally more rational than emotional, and his relationship with Li Qianxi was more about mutual exploitation than genuine affection. It was already quite unexpected that he didn't sever ties with her after she was kicked out of the Li family. Now that they're involved in a murder case and a criminal case, if he's still thinking of doing everything he can to save her, I have to admit I misjudged him; they're actually truly in love!

However, rather than the possibility that the two are truly in love, Du Anrao is more inclined to believe that Jiang Yiming has some leverage over Li Qianxi, or that Li Qianxi has something that makes him want to protect her.

The truth was not much different from what Du Anrao had guessed. The reason why Jiang Yiming was still entangled with Li Qianxi was both because she had something on him and because he had his eye on the large pond of fish that she kept. If used well, it might be able to help him at a critical moment.

To put it bluntly, it all comes down to interests. Jiang Yiming never expected that Li Qianxi would cause such a huge mess.

When Li Qianxi's live stream went viral online, Jiang Yiming was called back to the Jiang family to deal with some matters. By the time he came out of the Jiang family, the matter had already caused a great uproar, and many people who were involved with Li Qianxi were also exposed by netizens.

Many people have even been falsely accused in this murky water, and a number of shocking and scandalous rumors have emerged one after another.

After reading it, Jiang Yiming was only glad that although he and Li Qianxi had confirmed their relationship early on due to their common interests, they had tacitly chosen to hide it for the sake of better cooperation and a way out in the future. Even their closest relatives and friends did not know that they were actually boyfriend and girlfriend in secret.

This means that even though Li Qianxi is now facing the embarrassing situation of being completely ignored online, the impact on him can be said to be negligible.

Jiang Yiming breathed a sigh of relief, but after learning exactly why Li Qianxi had messed up, his patience with her completely gave out. He cursed her with disdain, "Idiot!"

Now that things have come to this, even if I wanted to save her, it would be useless. Not to mention that she is now a rat in the street, hated by everyone. Even those fish who were deceived by her appearance before have probably mostly woken up and are already being kind by not seeking revenge against her, let alone standing up for her or working for her.

Li Qianxi is now completely worthless, so why should he bother wasting his time and energy on such a useless person?

As for the so-called leverage in the other party's hands, when a villain stands on the opposite side of the whole nation, leaving everyone with the impression of being a liar who distorts the truth, no one will be willing to believe her no matter whether she is telling the truth or lying, and the leverage will naturally cease to exist.

Du Anrao was unaware that because of the plot collapse on Li Qianxi's side, the situation on the male lead Jiang Yiming's side had also become precarious.

Even if she knew, she probably wouldn't care too much. The two culprits responsible for Li Yuesheng's tragedy were now in the hospital and the police station, respectively. Seeing that neither of them would be out anytime soon, Du Anrao felt completely relieved.

She no longer cared as much about the person Li Yuesheng was interested in, as long as it wasn't Gong Haoming.

However, things in this world are often like this: "You may try to plant flowers with care, but they may not bloom; you may plant willows without care, and they may thrive."

Just as Du Anrao was thinking about returning home with his parents, an uninvited guest whom Du Anrao had never seen before appeared in the Li family's living room.

"Who is this……"

"Oh, this is my good brother Yue Yang. He heard about your car accident with Yue Sheng, so he wanted to come and see you."

Du Anrao gave an awkward yet polite smile and pointed at Yue Yang to confirm, "Your...good brother?"

Li Zhaoyang's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously turned to look at the person next to him, finding it hard to believe that his trusted brother also had a problem.
The next second, Du Anrao sighed inwardly with a hint of schadenfreude.

[Cousin, you treat him like a brother, but he wants to be your brother-in-law.]

"What?!" The Li family members exclaimed in surprise at the same time, especially Li Yuesheng, whose gaze swept over herself and Yue Yang before finally settling on Du Yuxi.

Du Yuxi received a gossipy look from her cousin, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.

I've never even met this person before, let alone had any emotional connection with them. Even a fool could tell who this brother-in-law is talking about. And cousin, have you forgotten who An'an predicted was the person whose love star was about to shine brightly? Deceiving yourself at a time like this is unacceptable!

"Wh...what's wrong?" Du Anrao was startled by the startled looks of Li Zhaoyang and the others.

I didn't say anything particularly surprising, so why does my cousin look like he's about to eat me alive?

"I..." Li Zhaoyang was interrupted before he could come up with a plausible reason.

"He bought a stock a few days ago, but he was unlucky and it hit the daily limit down yesterday. He's been a bit distracted these past two days and can't accept reality. Just ignore him."

Xi Jingyue, who happened to be watching the live stream, gave Li Zhaoyang a warning glance. Li Zhaoyang stiffened and awkwardly laughed, "Right, right, the stocks I bought hit the daily limit down. It wasn't a big deal, but when I saw my cousin just now, it reminded me of it, and I got a little emotional. I didn't notice what you said. What did you just say? Oh right, Yue Yang is my good brother. We started a business together after graduating from university, and it's been two or three years now. We've always had a great relationship."

Du Anrao didn't notice what he said. He stared at Yue Yang for a while, then his eyes suddenly widened.

Wait, this person is actually...
