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

Chapter 424 Tearing Up the Script
The host was interrupted before he could finish speaking. After a moment of surprise, he looked at the person who had spoken and asked, "Actor Du, is there something you need?"

"One guest has not yet arrived, so the event cannot begin."

"Is there one more guest?" The host hurriedly turned to ask the director, only to see the director nod at him and gesture for him to continue with the process.

The host was completely bewildered, but maintained a polite smile, trying to stabilize the situation: "It seems we have a mystery guest today whom none of us know about. Has this mystery guest arrived yet? Could we invite him to come and meet us and say hello?"

Du Hexuan smiled but said nothing, then turned and waved in the direction of Du Anrao.

Du Anrao suddenly had a bad feeling. She pointed to herself, looking completely bewildered.

This mystery guest is her?!

“That’s right, it’s you.” As if noticing Du Anrao’s shock and confusion, Zhou Shunzhe lowered his voice and explained, “On the way here, He Xuan applied to the production team, and the director and investors all agreed.”

To be precise, it was something they desperately wanted; there had been rumors about Du Hexuan's sister for a long time.

Du Anrao became an internet sensation for a while after publicly criticizing Li Qianxi during a live stream.

When the production team and investors learned that Du Hexuan's sister was the same person as the mysterious internet celebrity master who unexpectedly became famous but then disappeared, they agreed to Du Hexuan's application without hesitation and even offered him a salary that was only slightly lower than Du Hexuan's.

Zhou Shunzhe touched his nose, but what he didn't say was that Du Hexuan had initially planned to pay out of his own pocket to let Du Anrao participate in the show for free, but before he could even say it, the production team had already given him a quote.

Since that's the case, then... I can only reluctantly thank the production team for their gift and accept it on behalf of my sister. After all, it would be foolish not to take advantage of a good deal!

Du Anrao was unaware of these little incidents at the time. After her initial shock, she vaguely guessed her second brother's intentions.

Although she was somewhat annoyed by someone's unilateral decision without giving her any time to process the situation, she still obediently walked to her brother's side.

"Hello everyone, I am Du Anrao, the younger sister of this actor Du Hexuan."

"Yes, An'an is my younger sister. I was worried that since I've never been a father before, I might not be able to take good care of the child by myself for the next few days, so I asked her to come and help me. I hope everyone will mind?"

Du Anrao was taken aback, thinking to himself, "You've never been a father and have no experience, but do you think I have experience? This reason sounds like utter nonsense."

At this moment, the guests present, including the director, had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter. They simply took these words as Du Hexuan's way of testing the waters by bringing his sister into the entertainment industry, and all responded with kind smiles.

"No wonder she's Du Yingdi's younger sister, she's so beautiful. She'll definitely win over children." This was the female singer who was with her daughter.

"Don't underestimate these kids just because they're young. They're all obsessed with looks, and they especially love young, beautiful girls who aren't much younger than them and can play with them to their heart's content." This was said by a semi-retired but still popular actor.

"He Xuan, your sister looks quite young. Is she an adult yet? If you two can't handle this, you can come to us. At the very least, we should be able to keep you from going hungry." This was Liang, the screenwriter who was somewhat acquainted with Du He Xuan.

Duan Jingxing was busy trying to please his son, so he just nodded to the two of them.

On the contrary, Yu Zhaojun, a rising star who was also a guest on the show like Du Hexuan, seemed a little embarrassed when he saw Du Anrao. He said, "I didn't know Miss Du was coming, so I didn't bring you a gift. These are some snacks I brought. Miss Du can take them back to pass the time if she doesn't mind. I'll make up for the gift later." As Yu Zhaojun said this, he had a gentle smile on his face, which made the female fans who were watching the live stream scream incessantly, wishing they could be Du Anrao.

Du Anrao, the person involved, was not fooled by his appearance at all.

She stared at his face, which clearly showed signs of plastic surgery, for a moment, and said meaningfully, "It's alright, I'm not a child, and I'm not the main character of this variety show. Mr. Yu, just don't forget to prepare gifts for these children."

Yu Zhaojun's expression stiffened for a moment, but he quickly recovered: "Of course, I won't forget this, no matter what else I forget."

Liang Wanjuan and the others did not notice anything unusual between the two and watched them amicably from the side.

Du Hexuan immediately sensed something was off about the man. He wanted to ask, but his sister stopped him with a look. He had no choice but to suppress his curiosity and continue with the program's schedule.

With all the guests present, the selection of team members is now of paramount importance.

The host enthusiastically introduced the two children participating in today's selection process, Ke Zirui and Ke Zhaozhao.

Du Anrao keenly noticed that the host used the term "siblings" to describe the relationship between the two children. Although it wasn't wrong to say so, she still stroked her chin thoughtfully.

Du Hexuan, with his immense popularity and status as a senior figure in the entertainment industry, received the privilege of choosing children first.

Two children stood before him, one fat and one thin, one tall and one short, one nervous and one excited.

Logically, girls in this age group are naturally more mature than boys of the same age and appear older, not to mention that Ke Zhaozhao, the older sister, is a year older than her brother.

But the truth is that Ke Zhaozhao is half a head shorter than Ke Zirui, with a slender figure and looks somewhat malnourished. Her head is also lowered, and she looks like she is afraid of strangers. It is hard not to suspect that she has experienced something bad at home.

The two children reacted very differently when they saw Du Hexuan approaching. Ke Zirui went up to him, tilted his chubby little face up, gave Du Hexuan a strangely enthusiastic smile, and said in a low voice, "Uncle, you're so handsome. Rui Rui likes you. Will you be Rui Rui's dad?"

It was obvious from the sound of these words that an adult had deliberately taught him. Du Hexuan glanced at him, then at the little girl not far away who was bowing her head and nervously clutching her skirt. He smiled slightly and gave the answer that he already knew by heart.

"I choose her."

"Okay, let's congratulate..." The host was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly realized something, and his smile froze. Several other guests who had also received the script early on also looked surprised.

Ke Zirui's smug smile froze on his face in an instant, and his tiny, round eyes, squeezed shut by his chubby cheeks, shone with disbelief as he screamed, "Why didn't you choose me?"

The only one who had anticipated this and was happy about it was Du Anrao, who quietly watched the show from his brother's side.

Wow!

Great, today's variety show about raising kids starts with actor Du tearing up the script!
