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

Chapter 52: No need to endure anymore
Du Junyan's words were practically pointing at Jia Yunxiao's nose, telling him that only he would be interested in a woman who was so fickle, so prone to changing her mind, and who was constantly looking for a father for his child. He, an ordinary person, was simply not worthy of such a woman.

Bai Xiuqing seemed to have never expected Du Junyan to be so heartless, saying such hurtful things to her in front of Jia Yunxiao. Her eyes were red and tears were about to fall.

Under normal circumstances, Du Junyan might have felt pity for her because of her gender.

But when she thought of those unlucky guys who had clearly helped her but were now being falsely accused, she immediately calmed down.

This is a vicious, beautiful snake. He'd better put away his misplaced saintly heart, lest he be bitten again.

Jia Yunxiao felt that after climbing to his current position, no one dared to speak to him like that anymore. In addition, Du Junyan's words reminded him of Bai Xiuqing's feat of hooking up with a long string of men in just a few months after she escaped.

His face darkened instantly, and his gaze toward Bai Xiuqing became cold and menacing.

Bai Xiuqing was so frightened that she trembled and suddenly regretted the lies she had told when Jia Yunxiao asked about Du Junyan.

Knowing he was so stubborn, she shouldn't have let Jia Yunxiao come looking for him. Now she can only hope that Jia Yunxiao will vent her anger on Du Junyan first, so that she will be less angry when she thinks of her later.

It must be said that, despite their seemingly eccentric behavior, this couple understands each other quite well.

Jia Yunxiao glared at Bai Xiuqing for a while, then decisively turned his guns on Du Junyan: "Mr. Du, you'd better not make any promises you can't keep, lest something goes wrong in the future and it will be too late to regret it then?"

Du Junyan was speechless. Was he being threatened? Ugh, my temper!
"No need for Mr. Jia to trouble himself with that. If you came here today only for this woman, then please rest assured, I am not familiar with her. We haven't had much contact before, and we won't have any contact in the future. If there's nothing else, I won't keep you two any longer. Please make yourselves at home."

After giving the order to leave, Du Junyan ignored the two people who had come to his office to put on a show.

Jia Yunxiao had never been treated so coldly; the veins on his forehead bulged.

"Mr. Du is still young and inexperienced. You should know that there are many people in this world who are more powerful than you, and not everyone is someone you can afford to offend. If Mr. Du himself doesn't care, don't your family care?"

Jia Yunxiao, having uttered this harsh remark, felt he had won back a point and left with Bai Xiuqing, feeling smug.

Completely unaware that the instant he finished speaking, Du Junyan suddenly exerted force, snapping the pen he was holding in half at the waist.

He underestimated the man's insanity. He had already been tolerant, but in the end, the man still took advantage of him.

You can threaten him, but you can't threaten his family!
Already frustrated by the constant overtime work, President Du took a deep breath and decisively picked up the phone to launch a scathing attack on someone.

So, just as Jia Yunxiao was on his way back with Bai Xiuqing, thinking about how to teach Du Junyan a lesson, several cars sped up and caught up with them from both sides, forcing their entire convoy to a stop on the overpass.

"Police are investigating; unrelated personnel should evacuate as soon as possible."

Sitting in the car, Jia Yunxiao's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Having lived abroad for many years, he had obviously forgotten that this was a society governed by the rule of law, and he never expected that Du Junyan would actually have the audacity to call the police!

Bai Xiuqing's eyes brightened slightly as she considered using this opportunity to escape Jia Yunxiao. However, she then recalled the hardships she had endured during her months of escaping alone, and the light in her eyes dimmed in the end.

She reached out and touched her already showing belly, feeling a surge of self-pity: "Baby, all of Mommy's sacrifices are for you."

In the end, this foreign bigwig paid the price for his arrogance, suffered a setback, and ended up spending a few days in detention.

Meanwhile, Du Anrao, far away in J City, was unaware that his elder brother had, after many twists and turns, ended up clashing with Jia Yunxiao again. When Du Hexuan returned to Director Gao's film crew, Du Anrao, as his assistant, received a warm welcome from the entire crew.

Fu Sili became the company's rising star because of her comment, "A hidden dragon lies in the abyss, its potential is limitless." He even landed the male lead role in this male-centric drama and is extremely grateful to Du Anrao, treating her with the utmost respect.

Director Gao was also influenced by Du Anrao's earlier remark, "Auspicious purple clouds come from the east," and later learned that Fu Sili had been chosen by Du Anrao at first glance and sent to his crew.

After filming a few scenes with the other person, he discovered that the other person was exceptionally talented, quick to grasp many things, and had no airs. The other person was a hundred times better than Pei Yiyuan.

He became increasingly convinced that Du Anrao was his and the crew's lucky star, and wished he could worship her as a mascot.

With all these advantages, Du Anrao's days on set were actually more comfortable than before!
That day, Du Anrao was chatting and eating sunflower seeds with a female supporting actress who had just finished filming under a parasol when he suddenly remembered Yang Jiantao, who was hospitalized.

"Has Brother Yang not returned yet? I wonder how his recovery is going? I hope he doesn't suffer any lasting effects."

The female supporting character turned to look at her in surprise: "Didn't you know? Teacher Yang has run into some trouble recently and won't be back for a few days."

"What trouble have you run into?"

Thanks to the sister's careful explanation, Du Anrao learned that Huang Zhaodi's parents had not completely given up after fleeing the hospital that day.

Seeing that Yang Jiantao was unyielding and determined to send his daughter and son to prison, the elderly couple decided to take the plunge.

She contacted several media outlets that love to report on such family disputes and try to smooth things over, and tearfully accused Yang Jiantao of being heartless towards his daughter.

In their view, Yang Jiantao is an actor and a star who relies on audience popularity for his livelihood. As long as he doesn't want his reputation to be ruined and him to lose his job, he has to give in to them.

At first, some people were indeed misled, thinking that since they were all family, Yang Jiantao's actions were too ruthless.

Yang Jiantao didn't mince words and directly showed Huang Zhaodi and her brother's bank transfer records over the years, showing how they had asked him for money under various pretexts, as well as the full recording of the incident.

Netizens were already wavering when they saw the seemingly endless large transfer, and then they heard the recording. Good heavens, this is a case of threatening to kill someone if they don't get paid! It's true what they say, a little kindness is appreciated, but too much kindness breeds resentment. They should just shut up.

The media outlets reporting on the matter were also surprised that a seemingly minor family dispute had escalated into a criminal case, and they quickly dropped the story.

Just when everyone thought the matter was over, Yang Jiantao refused to let the Huang couple off the hook.

That very night, he released the chat logs and recordings of the two men extorting him, fulfilling his previous promise to send the family of four to prison for a reunion.

"Looks like Brother Yang is well-prepared to cut ties with this bizarre family this time!" Du Anrao remarked after finishing this piece of fresh gossip.

"Isn't that right? Oh, right, you're involved in this too."

Du Anrao: "???"
