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

Chapter 69 Were we that familiar before?
Seeing that Du Yuxi's complexion seemed to have improved, Xie Jingyao breathed a slight sigh of relief and continued speaking.

“Miss Du was right that day. We asked her to do the divination. Master Du was just saying what she knew and shouldn’t be subjected to my unwarranted accusations. As for me, I have no right to speak without the right to investigate, and I shouldn’t have acted on my emotions and made a private judgment, thus wronging others.”

Upon hearing this, Du Yuxi raised an eyebrow, deliberately picking a fight, and asked, "What if the investigation finds that Li Qianxi is innocent?"

Xie Jingyao was quite frank: "Then I will bring the complete investigation materials for you two to review, and then have you apologize for your inappropriate remarks that day, admitting that you fabricated, slandered and spread rumors out of thin air."

"But the truth you uncovered is exactly the opposite."

"So, it's my turn to apologize to you both."

Du An was overjoyed, finding the man quite amusing, his rigid manner resembling that of a stern old master from a TV drama.

However, this also proves that he is not blindly protecting his own; he is essentially on the side of reason, not personal ties.

Du Yuxi finally smiled: "Since you've been honest enough, I'll forgive you, and we'll call it even. As for my sister, it's up to her. I won't and have no right to forgive her on her own."

As soon as Du Yuxi finished speaking, Du Anrao immediately waved his hand and said, "No need to apologize to me, I didn't take it to heart. My sister already helped me get revenge that day, so let's just call it even and call it even."

Most importantly, Fourth Sister was right that day. Whether we believe it or not, it's not like we're the ones wearing the green hat, and we don't lose anything. Come to think of it, I was so focused on Li Qianxi before that I didn't even notice the green light on her head had faded considerably.

Although it has become lighter, it is still there.

It's unclear whether the person in front of me will only disappear completely once Fourth Sister confirms her relationship with Li Qianxi and they switch identities, or once the engagement between Li Qianxi and the person in front of me is completely dissolved.

When Du Yuxi heard someone say that his head was glowing with green light again, she couldn't help but glance at his forehead once more.

Xie Jingyao: "..." Why do I suddenly feel a chill on my forehead?
"Ahem, you two are very magnanimous, but I can't be so shameless as to pretend nothing happened. I wonder if you ladies would do me the honor of having a simple meal with me to express my apologies?"

Du Anrao frowned slightly, as if sensing something.

[This sounds familiar! Has Mr. Xi said something similar before?]

Du Hexuan, who had just changed out of his waiter's uniform and rushed over, thought: "..." This pig!!! Get out of my way!!!

Xi Jingyue, who had just escaped Li Zhaoyang's clutches and was walking quickly over, thought: "..." Don't bring up the past again, or your second brother will really be unable to resist killing me!

"No need for dinner. Our girls don't go out to eat with just anyone, especially strange men!" Du Hexuan said the last four words with gritted teeth, wishing he could send all those pigs eyeing his cabbages to the slaughterhouse!
Du Anrao was taken aback when he suddenly saw Du Hexuan: "Second Brother, what brings you here?"

"Ahem... I was worried about you two not going home so late, so I came to pick you up myself."

"Oh~" Du Anrao blinked, "But second brother, you looked like you just came out from inside."

Du Hexuan froze for a moment, but quickly recovered: "I called you several times but you didn't answer, so I went in to look for you."

“Is that so…?” Du Anrao subconsciously turned to look at Du Yuxi.

Du Yuxi received Du Hexuan's hint and her lips twitched slightly: "Yes, it was my second brother who called me, but I was busy and didn't answer."

Du Anrao nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

On the other side, Madam Xie, who was still surprised and pleased that her son would take the initiative to invite Du Yuxi, looked at this unexpected troublemaker with a puzzled expression: "Who is this?"

“This is my second brother, Du Hexuan.”

"So it was your brother."

Du Hexuan treated Madam Xie, an elder, fairly well, but his hostility towards Xie Jingyao was quite strong. "Mr. Xie would like to invite my two sisters to dinner?"

"I'm just expressing my apologies."

"They accept my apologies, but there's no need for a meal. After all, Mr. Xie is engaged, and I don't want my two sisters to suffer unwarranted misfortune because of someone unworthy."

The two were locked in a fierce confrontation, neither willing to back down, and a conflict was imminent.

The two people involved just stood aside and watched the drama unfold, when suddenly a slightly resentful voice came from behind them.

"Your second brother is actually the big star Du Hexuan!"

Du Anrao and Du Yuxi were startled. When they turned around, they found Ye Mengzhen standing silently behind them.

"Where did you come from?"

"They just walked out like that, where else could they have come from?"

It turned out that Ye Mengzhen couldn't wait to go and cause trouble for Li Qianxi right after she finished talking to Du Anrao and the other person.

As a result, how could such an arrogant girl like her be a match for Li Qianxi, that scheming and manipulative woman?

She was defeated in just a few words, and Li Qianxi accused her of bullying and taking advantage of her misfortune. Ye Mengzhen was so angry that she ran out to get some fresh air.

“If I stay in there any longer, I suspect I’m going to suffocate. Don’t you think those men are stupid? Li Qianxi just faked a couple of sob stories, and they’re all acting like they’ve been injected with adrenaline, ready to risk their lives for her. They’re all incredibly foolish!”

"Are you talking about yourself?" Du Anrao looked at her innocently. "If I remember correctly, you were pretty much like them not long ago, weren't you?"

Ye Mengzhen choked, and after a while she rolled her eyes at Du Anrao and stopped talking about it.

"Why didn't you mention that your second brother is the big star Du Hexuan?"

Were we very familiar with each other before?

Ye Mengzhen: "..." Is this conversation really going to fall apart?
Du Yuxi watched Du Anrao argue coldly, and seeing that Ye Mengzhen was about to explode, she leisurely asked, "You care a lot about my second brother?"

"I don't really care." Ye Mengzhen snorted, then suddenly became a little shy, "It's just that I suddenly realized that everyone in your family seems to be quite good-looking."

"Pfft..." Du Anrao glanced at her with a half-smile, "Your brother isn't bad-looking either."

"That's different!" Ye Mengzhen used to think her brother was quite handsome, but recently, she doesn't know if her filter has shattered, but the more she looks at him, the more he seems like a silly husky, and she can't find that little bit of admiration she used to have.

"You seem to care so much about my second brother, could it be that you've fallen for someone else?"

Du Yuxi only realized after Du Anrao reminded her that this guy had a crush on her third brother!
"How could that be!" Ye Mengzhen pouted and muttered softly, "He may be handsome, but he's not my type."

"Oh right, you like my third brother's type."

"Du! An! Rao!" Ye Mengzhen, whose little scheme had been exposed, was completely unable to continue the conversation.

Just as he was about to pounce on her and pinch her, a familiar voice came from not far away once again.

"Miss Du, Master Du?"
