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

Chapter 44 Help from noble people
This tragic drama of separation and death among close relatives ultimately came to an end in a somewhat comical way.

A few minutes later, the Ye family of four, along with Du Anrao and others, all squeezed into the ward, making the otherwise comfortable single room crowded.

"President Xi, Young Master Li, what brings you here...?"

Unlike the Ye siblings, Ye's father recognized Xi Jingyue and Li Zhaoyang, who were following behind Du Anrao and her sister, almost at a glance.

The Ye and Li families had a good relationship, and Li Zhaoyang was considered a junior in front of Ye's father.

“We happened to be nearby when Mengzhen called Miss Du. Knowing that Zhihuan had been in a car accident, we came together to see him.”

Ye Mengzhen didn't think too much about it. The shock of finding her brother made her momentarily dazed. When she came to her senses, her first thought was to check on her brother's condition.

"Brother, are you really okay?"

Ye Zhihuan was both angry and amused: "Do you really want me to get hurt? Don't worry, it's just a superficial injury. The doctor said it's fortunate that no internal organs were damaged. The most serious injury on my body is this leg. It got stuck when I hit it and broke it. It will be fine after some rest."

Ye Mengzhen finally relaxed completely, clutching her chest with a look of relief: "Thank goodness."

Holding her daughter's hand, Ye's mother sighed, "It's really alright. Your father sent someone to check the scene. There's a bottomless abyss below. Luckily, your seventh brother reacted quickly, otherwise he might have been pulled down by that truck."

When Ye's mother learned last night that her son had been in a car accident, she was so shocked that she almost fainted on the spot. Later, she learned that her son was not in any danger, but only had a broken leg and some minor injuries.

Although I breathed a sigh of relief, I was still terrified when the people who helped me with the matter came back and said that the truck driver who almost collided with them had plunged off the cliff with his truck and died on the spot. I felt both relieved and scared.

Ye Mengzhen only knew that her brother had been in a car accident, but she didn't know the specifics. She was shocked to hear her mother say that.

"Was my brother hit by a truck before the accident?"

"They didn't crash, but what if they had?" Ye's mother sighed. "The truck driver who had the accident was said to be driving while fatigued. He was carrying a large load of goods on a mountain road late at night and bumped into your brother's truck when he turned a corner."

“Your brother had been drinking and was sitting in the passenger seat. Your seventh brother was driving. When he saw the truck go out of control and crash into him, he quickly turned the steering wheel a full turn to avoid it, but that caused him to crash into the mountain road on the side.”

Hearing this, Ye's father couldn't help but interject, "It's fortunate that he wasn't driving fast to begin with, otherwise it wouldn't just be that the front of the car was flattened and they were stuck inside. It's also fortunate that a car behind noticed their situation and helped them call for help to take them to the hospital, otherwise they might have been stuck on that mountain for who knows how long in the middle of the night."

Although Ye Zhihuan's car accident was an unexpected disaster, after seeing the horrific scene, they had to admit that it was a stroke of luck that the two of them only suffered such minor injuries!

Ye Mengzhen then thought of something else: "Mom, you said that Seventh Brother was driving at the time of the car accident? My brother didn't go out alone, did he?"

The "Seventh Brother" that Ye Mengzhen mentioned was a relative from Ye's mother's side of the family. Because his name contained the character "Qi" and he was about the same age as Ye Zhihuan, Ye Mengzhen always called him "Seventh Brother".

"Yes." Mother Ye clasped her hands together in front of her chest. "It's truly a blessing from heaven that your brother made an appointment with Ran Qi before he went out. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to think about him alone. He'd been drinking, and how could I have reacted to something like this?"

Ye Mengzhen was completely stunned, then stiffly turned to look at Du Anrao: "This is not a blessing from heaven, but the help of a benefactor."

"A benefactor? What benefactor?" Mr. and Mrs. Ye exchanged a glance, their faces showing surprise.

Ye Zhihuan wasn't stupid; he was the first to realize what was happening and exclaimed, "So you've been calling me every day lately, telling me to stay home, because someone warned you in advance that something bad would happen to me?" Ye's mother gasped, "Zhenzhen, is that so?"

"……Um."

"What the hell does this happen?"

"Let me speak." Seeing Ye Mengzhen's embarrassed expression and not knowing where to start, Du Yuxi took the initiative to step forward and help her out.

Only then did the Ye family members notice that there were two young girls accompanying Xi Jingyue and his companion.

Mr. Ye sized up the two women, but couldn't recall their identities, so he tentatively asked, "And this young lady is...?"

"I am... cough cough, I am Mengzhen's college classmate. About two weeks ago, my sister and I ran into Mengzhen at a restaurant. My sister grew up in a Taoist temple and can see things that ordinary people cannot. She could tell that Mengzhen's brother was having a bad time recently and was very likely to suffer a bloody disaster. At best, it would damage his body, and at worst, it would endanger his life."

"To avoid this bloodshed, my sister advised Mengzhen to tell her brother to stay home for the next two weeks. Even if he has to go out for something important, he must be accompanied by someone."

Mr. and Mrs. Ye were also hearing about this for the first time, and they turned to look at their daughter and son questioningly: "Is that so?"

Ye Mengzhen breathed a slight sigh of relief when she saw that Du Yuxi didn't mention the conflict that happened between the two of them in the restaurant that day.

"That's true. When I first heard about it, I didn't quite believe it either, but since it concerns my brother, I thought it's better to believe it than not..."

Ye Zhihuan rubbed his nose and chimed in, "Zhenzhen has been calling me every day lately to bring this up. Yesterday morning, I had to go out unexpectedly and was originally planning to go alone, but just before leaving, I suddenly remembered Zhenzhen's nagging these past few days, so I inexplicably called Ranqi to come with me."

After hearing her children's explanation, Ye's mother was mostly convinced: "I didn't know your sister was..."

"Uh...it's me." Du Anrao had barely finished speaking when his hand was grasped.

Ye's mother's eyes were red and filled with tears. Her hand, which was smooth and soft, was icy cold and trembling slightly as she held Du Anrao's.

"Thank you, thank you so much. If it weren't for your kind reminder, Zhihuan would have been in danger today. I only have one son and one daughter. If anything had happened to him, I'm afraid I wouldn't have survived either."

Even though the words are similar, they can sound completely different when spoken by different people.

Du Anrao was not good at dealing with such straightforward and sincere enthusiasm from elders, and said awkwardly, "Auntie, please don't say that. Miss Ye is a friend of my sister, and my sister's friend is naturally my friend too. It was just a small favor."

Ye Mengzhen and Du Yuxi, who unexpectedly became friends: "..."

Mother Ye was increasingly moved, her eyes welling up with tears, and she gripped Du Anrao's hand even tighter: "Good child, even though that's true, Auntie still has to thank you properly..."

Du Anrao: "..." Oh no, help! Someone save me!
Seeing Du Anrao's pitiful expression, Xi Jingyue smiled slightly and decided to help her out.

"I'm a little curious, what important matter did Young Master Ye have that made him have to go out yesterday?"
