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

Chapter 65 The Most Popular Female Lead is Terrifying!
Unfortunately, everyone seemed to be blinded by the afterglow of the little sun, leaving my aunt to truly experience the frustration and melancholy of being the only one sober while everyone else was drunk.

Now that Li Qianxi is using the same old trick, Zhang Wanyin is really furious. She wants to rush over and tear off Li Qianxi's mouth and her hypocritical mask.

Du Anrao watched in awe, finally gaining a deeper understanding of the power of this sea queen heroine.

[This is amazing! We've finally seen a true green tea bitch and a black lotus female lead! Compared to her, Bai Xiuqing, that parasitic little white lotus, is child's play. With just a few words, she absolves herself of all guilt. Even if it's later discovered that Fourth Sister and she were switched, she'll still be seen as an innocent, naive, and pitiful little thing.]

[Most importantly, she also has a frail health debuff. If her aunt were to press her further now, wouldn't that be bullying a sick person? Wow, that's so classic! Is this the power of a universally adored female lead? Terrifying!]

Du Yuxi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, taking a serious look at Li Qianxi's face for the first time.

To say how the two of them recognized Li Qianxi at a glance when they were upstairs is absurd.

Firstly, although the banquet was held at the Li family's residence, the second floor was a private space. Unless one was personally led up by Li Zhaoyang like the two of them, it was someone like Li Qianxi, the hostess. Secondly, it was because of her face.

Li Qianxi suffers from congenital heart disease, which prevents her from engaging in strenuous exercise. Her complexion is also paler than that of ordinary people, and her physique is thinner and petite than that of ordinary people.

Her small face, no bigger than a palm, often carried a hint of sorrow due to her illness. In addition, years of pampering in the Li family had given her fair skin, as smooth as jade. Although she did not look as bright and beautiful as Du Yuxi, she had her own delicate and charming appearance, easily arousing the protective instincts of others.

No wonder so many men are willing to be fish in her pond; humans are essentially visual creatures.

Neither Madam Li nor Madam Xie spoke, but instead turned to look at Li Fengxian and Su Ruiyin, who could be regarded as the backbone of the room at this moment.

Li Fengxian neither said he believed it nor he didn't, but only asked Du Yuxi one question: "Have you two done a paternity test?"

“An’an and my adoptive parents did a paternity test, and she is indeed my adoptive parents’ child. As for me…”

Everyone's hearts jumped. Du Yuxi lowered her eyes slightly and said, "My parents have both passed away, so I didn't do it."

This is obviously false. Although Wang Xuehe died a few years ago, she was arrested as a human trafficker, and the police kept her DNA for comparison to find more unfortunate abducted children.

Du Yuxi didn't do it at first simply because she couldn't accept her background, but she didn't do it later because of what Du Anrao said.

Anyway, by some twist of fate, she never actually did a paternity test with Wang Xuehe, and she's only saying this now to lower Li Qianxi's guard.

As expected, upon hearing that Du Yuxi had not conducted a paternity test with Wang Xuehe, Li Qianxi's expression visibly relaxed.

She knew that a paternity test couldn't be done on the Li family's side either, since Li Guwei and Su Yingrong had already passed away and hadn't left any DNA samples.

Li Fengxian and Su Ruiyin exchanged a glance, then frowned and said, "Gu Wei and Ying Rong left so suddenly, I'm afraid... It seems that the only way to confirm this is through a kinship test."

However, this kinship test cannot be done casually. It is best to have someone of the same gender as the parent's siblings do it. But for Li Guwei, Li Fengxian is male, and for Su Yingrong, Su Ruiyin is also male.

Both of Du Yuxi's siblings are of a different gender than her, which means that there may be uncontrollable errors in the identification process.

The situation seemed to have reached another impasse, leaving Du Anrao somewhat bewildered. He quickly flipped through the book again to confirm that he hadn't misremembered. [Wait a minute, Fourth Sister's parents donated bone marrow years ago at Mr. Xi's hospital. My aunt and Mr. Xi's mother are sisters; there's no reason my uncle's family wouldn't know about this. Have they forgotten, or do they have other plans?]

"What?" The Du family members, who were huddled in a corner of the downstairs room eavesdropping, exclaimed in surprise, then covered their mouths and continued to eavesdrop.

Xi Jingyue, the only one who knew the Li family's plans, thought of the two DNA samples still lying in his own hospital, waiting for the day they would see the light of day again, and couldn't help but feel emotional.

Uncle Li and Aunt Su may have had a premonition that this day would come, which is why they agreed to donate bone marrow together.

Or perhaps, this is God's reward for kind-hearted people.

Hearing the end, Li Qianxi finally felt completely relieved.

She knew very well that unless there was solid evidence, no one would dare to remove her from her position as Miss Li, even if everyone present had a thousand suspicions.

Du Yuxi, on the other hand, remained silent for a long time after listening to their conversation, before suddenly asking, "Can I see her photo?"

Everyone present knew who she was referring to.

Li Fengxian turned to look at his wife, Li Zhanyan, who immediately understood: "I'll go get it."

Su Yingrong and Li Guwei were both people who liked to travel and make friends. From dating to marriage to their accidental death, it only took a few years, but they had already taken several photo albums.

However, after the two passed away, these photos became precious relics, which Li Zhanyan carefully kept.

The book that Li Zhanyan selected mainly contains photos of the two after their marriage. In addition to their wedding photos, there are also some photos of Su Yingrong during different stages of her pregnancy.

Throughout this process, Li Guwei was never absent, always by her side, eagerly anticipating the arrival of their child.

Du Yuxi's gaze first fell on the couple's wedding photo. In the photo, the two were wearing simple white shirts, sitting side by side, with pure and joyful smiles on their faces.

Su Yingrong does resemble her very much, but she seems more cheerful and loves to laugh. When she smiles, her eyes crinkle, bright and sweet, making people unable to help but smile too.

Li Guwei is somewhat similar to Li Fengxian, but he is not as serious. He looks like a naive young man who shows a perfect eight teeth when he smiles.

After Su Yingrong became pregnant, this young man seemed to grow up a lot all at once, gradually becoming someone his wife and children could rely on with peace of mind.

The last photo in the album was taken when Su Yingrong was more than eight months pregnant in the back garden of the Li family. At that time, she was wearing a white gauze dress, sitting on a light-colored garden chair, with a gentle smile on her lips, and stroking her high-bulging belly.

The afternoon sun shone on her, casting a soft halo around her, making her look hazy and dreamlike.

Li Guwei half-squatted beside her, his head pressed against her belly, his face full of tenderness and gratitude for his wife, and curiosity and anticipation for their future child.
