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

Chapter 74 The Legendary Chuunibyou (Middle School Syndrome) Boy
Upon hearing this, Du Lianshuang and the pair of twins behind her couldn't help but gasp.

Du Lianshuang then remembered that her children were still around, and it wasn't appropriate to discuss this matter, so she immediately tried to get the two of them away.

"You two haven't seen Sister Yuxi in a long time, have you? Go upstairs and chat with her first, then we'll call you down for dinner later."

After Du Lianshuang finished speaking, she seemed to remember something and asked anxiously, "Is Yuxi at home?"

"She's at home, probably doing her homework in her room right now. You can go find her yourselves."

Although the two younger children were reluctant, they were still worried about Du Yuxi's situation, so they went upstairs with many backward glances.

With the person who wasn't suitable to be there gone, Du Lianshuang stopped trying to hide herself and moved closer to her mother.

"Sister-in-law, please tell me quickly, what exactly happened? How did Yu Xi suddenly become someone else's child?"

The two families were close, and Du's mother knew that Du Lianshuang truly doted on her cousin Du Yuxi, so she didn't keep her in suspense and briefly explained the situation.

"It was indeed an accident. Yu Xi's school organized a blood donation drive, and when Yu Xi went, she found that her blood type was incorrect. She went back to the hospital for another test, and it turned out that her blood type didn't match anyone else's in the family. That's when we found out that we had switched babies at birth!"

It was only less than two months ago, but now it feels like a lifetime ago.

While feeling sorry for Du Yuxi's understanding nature, Du's mother couldn't help but feel relieved that Du Yuxi wasn't like Li Qianxi, whose first reaction after learning the truth was not to hide it or find the person who had swapped with her to eliminate them completely and suppress them in secret, but instead took the initiative to contact them and tell them the truth.

After learning the truth, she moved out of the Du family home first, as she was ashamed to face Du Anrao, who was hurt as a result.

It is precisely because both children are so wonderful that Du's mother cannot bear to part with either of them.

Fortunately, both children are now with her, and things are getting better.

Du Lianshuang was shocked when she heard this. She never expected that such a plot, which she often saw in TV dramas, would happen to someone close to her, especially her most beloved junior.

"So what's the situation now? Has the child been brought back? What kind of person is she? Is she a good person? What about her and Yuxi..."

Du's mother was somewhat exasperated by Du Lianshuang's barrage of questions, but she knew that Du was just worried and confused, so she smiled good-naturedly and said, "Don't worry, it's not a bad thing."

Du Lianshuang was stunned: "Not a bad thing?"

Is it really a good thing when a child you've raised and cherished for over a decade suddenly becomes someone else's?
As if sensing her thoughts, Mrs. Du chuckled: "It's not a bad thing, it's just that there's another child in the family. The child has already been brought back, and she's an exceptionally good and adorable child. Everyone in the family who has met her likes her."

“Yu Xi was so upset about this that she moved out for a few days, and it was my friend who helped persuade her to come back. The two girls are like sisters now, they stick together everywhere they go, and even I, as their mother, am a little jealous.”

"Is that so?" Du Lianshuang was somewhat dazed by what her mother said. "But I heard that the child was found in a very remote place..."

Since it's a remote place, life must be tough.

Although it may seem a bit heartless to say this, after all, she is his own cousin.

But the child who was switched at birth was, after all, a complete stranger to Du Lianshuang. If one had to choose, the child certainly couldn't compare to Du Yuxi, whom she had spent over ten years with. That's why Du Lianshuang rushed to the Du family to check on Du Yuxi's condition as soon as she learned of the incident.

They were afraid that the child who was brought back would feel resentful when he saw the Du family's obviously superior living conditions, causing chaos in the house and forcing Du Yuxi to have nowhere to go. Isn't that how it always goes in TV dramas?
Upon hearing this, Madam Du's eyes narrowed again, and she became even more wary of the person who had leaked these matters to Du Lianshuang.

"It is indeed a relatively remote place. An'an was adopted by a reclusive master when she was young and grew up in a Taoist temple, where she learned some minor skills. Just a few days ago, she helped the head of the Ya Yu family with a small favor. He was very grateful for her help and even specially sent two sets of jewelry to her and Yu Xi."

Du Lianshuang was stunned by the overwhelming amount of information, and it took her a while to widen her eyes: "You mean she grew up in a Taoist temple?"

Seeing Du Lianshuang's dazed appearance, Du's mother thought of their previous research on Du Anrao's inner thoughts, and a thoughtful look flashed across her eyes. She took the initiative to prepare Du Lianshuang for the worst.

"Interpersonal relationships in the Taoist temple are simple and the people are honest. If An'an offends you or Jueyan in any way when we meet, please don't take it to heart."

At this moment, Du Lianshuang had no idea what kind of surprise Du Anrao was going to bring her. After hearing what Du's mother had said, she was relieved for the time being.

She hurriedly assured him, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. We're not old-fashioned people who care too much about rules. The most important thing for a family is to have a good relationship. If she's really as good as you say, I'd love her more than anything, why would I care about these things?"

Du's mother smiled faintly and remained silent, while at this moment, Du Lianshuang's twins had already rushed upstairs to look for Du Yuxi with great interest.

Just then, Du Anrao came to ask her for help because the safe he had bought based on Du Yuxi's recommendation had a minor problem.

So when the two mischievous kids broke into Du Yuxi's room, they found the two of them squatting on the floor, figuring out how to unlock the door.

"Sister Yuxi..."

Du Yuxi was also surprised by their sudden appearance: "Why are you here?"

He then turned to Du Anrao and introduced them: "These are the two children from my third grandfather's cousin's family, Du Yunni and Du Xiuyuan. They are twins, a boy and a girl. This is your sister Anrao."

Du Anrao's eyes lit up when he heard those two names.

[What a wonderful name! Like the hazy clouds and the melodious cries of a jade phoenix. The road ahead is long and arduous, but I will persevere in my pursuit. It seems this aunt's family are cultured; they pay such attention to naming their children.]

Du Yunni's eyes widened in surprise: "What was that sound?"

"What sound? You must have misheard." Du Yuxi grabbed Du Yunni's hand, stopping her from continuing.

Fortunately, before Du Anrao could have any doubts, his attention was diverted to another person.

"So you're the daughter Uncle just adopted? Let me tell you, I don't care where you're from or what your identity is, my brother and I have only ever recognized Sister Yu Xi. You better behave yourself and stay put, and don't you dare bully Sister Yu Xi, or we'll make you regret it!" Du Xiuyuan said, waving his fist in a serious manner, looking fierce and menacing.

[This younger brother seems a bit silly. Could he be the legendary...chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) teenager?]

Du Xiuyuan: "???" You're the idiot, your whole family is idiot!
