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

Chapter 7 Unable to Believe
Mr. Du was also surprised to see the three of them return together: "Why are the three of you back together?"

“I ran into Yu Xi while I was having dinner with An An, so we came back together.”

Mr. Du wanted to ask more questions, but then he received a look from his wife, so he had to swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

"An'an hasn't met your second brother yet, has she?" Du's mother quickly changed the subject, leading Du Anrao to the young man sitting on the sofa. "This is your second brother, He Xuan. He's been busy filming out of town lately, and the signal there is bad. We only got in touch yesterday, and he rushed back today."

From the moment Du Anrao entered the room, she couldn't help but steal several glances at her second brother. It has to be said that in addition to outstanding skills, top-notch looks are also essential for becoming an international superstar.

Unlike his elder brother Du Junyan, who resembles his father, Du Hexuan looks more like his mother. His well-proportioned face and perfect features give him a look that is both delicate and heroic, making him a perfect combination of his parents' appearances.

Compared to his dazzling and captivating presence in online videos and photos, he appears much more relaxed and leisurely at home, like a fluffy and soft Persian cat, alluring yet adorable, making one want to pet him.

But if you actually reach out, what awaits you will not be its soft belly, but its sharp claws that could scratch your face at any moment!

"Although I've never met him, I've seen my second brother's movies, so I can barely call myself a fan of his."

Du Anrao wasn't just being polite; she had genuinely seen Du Hexuan's movies.

In that film, Du Hexuan played a fool. Because his acting was so good, Du Anrao thought he was really a fool for a long time afterward.

And now, that fool has become her second brother.

Du Hexuan, who thought he had dressed well and left a good impression on his younger sister, was like: "???"

Of course he knew the movie Du Anrao was talking about; it was his debut work and one of his representative works, as well as the first film to win an award.

With this movie, he, a newcomer without formal training, directly won the Best Actor award, which can be said to be his peak right from the start.

Because of this, some of his rivals and haters used to mock him for only being able to play idiots. But in the end, they were all proven wrong by his one Best Actor award and classic roles. He never took those negative comments to heart, but that's not the point.

The key point is that out of all his works, why did Du Anrao choose to watch this one?
When the Du family members heard Du Anrao say that he was a fan of Du Hexuan, they were a little jealous. When they heard the reason, they almost burst out laughing. But they couldn't laugh out loud at this moment and arouse suspicion. They all trembled with suppressed laughter.

Du Hexuan was also trembling; he felt like his whole body was about to shatter.

If he could, he would love to travel back a few years to stop his "naive and ignorant" self from taking on this role!
Du Anrao didn't think that much about it. She looked at Du Hexuan, who suddenly froze, and the rapidly changing expression on his face, which resembled a traffic light, and felt uneasy.

Why does my second brother look so serious? Does he not like me? Does he think I'm too opportunistic, pretending to be a fan and flattering him as soon as I got home?

Du Hexuan: !

"An An!"

"Ok?"

【What happened? What happened? You suddenly yelled so loudly, it startled me!】

The Du family members' condemning gazes swept over him. Du Hexuan felt that all his preparations for today had been ruined. He said weakly, "I prepared a gift for you. See if you like it."

Du Anrao then noticed a rather large gift box on the table. Under the encouraging gazes of everyone, he opened it and was almost blinded by its brilliance.

Du Hexuan gifted a complete set of jewelry. The most eye-catching piece was a necklace with a bright green diamond cut into a teardrop shape and set in the center. The necklace was surrounded by hundreds of smaller diamonds and eight other diamonds of the same color.

In addition, there was a pair of earrings, a ring, and a bracelet, all matching the same color, which looked quite valuable.

"This... must be very expensive."

Du Hexuan felt he had won back some ground, "It's alright, it's only a one-year endorsement fee." Du Anrao: "..."

[Got it, this set might be worth several small, run-down Taoist temples!]

"This is too expensive. I can't accept it."

Du Hexuan's smile vanished, and he frowned in thought: "If you don't like this color, what color do you like? I'll have someone order another set. Never mind, I'll have someone order one set of each color."

Du Anrao was immediately horrified and reached out Er Kang's hand: "No!"

【My dear brother, do you think jewelry is as common as cabbage? You ordered a set of every color! Are you planning to collect all seven colors to summon Shenron?】

Du Hexuan: "..."

"No need, I like this color very much."

"Then accept it. My sister, Du Hexuan, wearing any amount of precious jewelry is an honor for them."

Du Anrao's lips twitched slightly, feeling that his second brother had a bit of a domineering CEO vibe.

I definitely wouldn't dare wear it; I'm afraid a dog might bite me if I wore it out in public.

But since Du Hexuan had already put it that way, Du Anrao had no choice but to accept it. As for where to put it...

"Mom, why don't you keep it for me?"

"The gifts your brother gave you, why would I need to keep them for you? Besides, there will be more and more of these things in the future, do you expect me to keep them for you every single time?"

Du Yuxi, on the other hand, had some experience with this: "You can buy a larger safe and put it in the walk-in closet. It's safe to put valuables in there, and it's also convenient to tidy up."

Du Anrao's eyes lit up slightly, clearly thinking it was a good idea, and he immediately pulled Du Yuxi aside to ask what kind of safe would be best.

Seeing her two daughters getting along so well, Du's mother was filled with joy. Du's father and Du Hexuan looked surprised, but they also knew that this was not the best time to ask.

After seeing the gifts, Du's mother said she was tired from shopping and took Du's father upstairs for a nap.

Du Hexuan, who had just returned from a flight early in the morning, needed to go upstairs to catch up on sleep, while Du Yuxi pushed her suitcase upstairs to tidy up the room.

After everyone in the hall left, Du Anrao took his gifts and went back to his room to buy a safe online.

However, what she didn't know was that the moment her door closed, everyone poked their heads out.

Even Du Junyan, who was supposed to be taking a lunch break at the company, took the time to go home. He was surprised to find Du Yuxi there when he entered the door.

Knowing the doubts of the father and sons, Du's mother quickly recounted everything that had happened in the Western restaurant in great detail.

The story left Du's father and Du Junyan in a daze, not to mention Du Hexuan, who wasn't even present yesterday.

"So, An Rao is our child, Yu Xi is the Li family's child, and now the Li family's daughter is the real biological daughter of that human trafficker named Wang Xuehe? Even a script wouldn't dare to write something like this. Are you sure all of this is true?"

After Du Hexuan finished speaking, he looked at Du Junyan as if seeking confirmation: "Big brother, do you believe me?"

Du Junyan's response was to pull out a file folder and push it in front of everyone: "We have no choice but to believe it."
