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

Chapter 84 is useful.
Yin Bailu was also shocked after hearing this: "There are more and more weirdos these days. They dare to do such things. Aren't they afraid that people will fight them to the death in anger?"

"Who says otherwise? I was really impressed after reading it. We both have a daughter, and these men outside are so shrewd. What if they meet someone like this? Wouldn't their lives be ruined?"

Yin Bailu was displeased upon hearing this: "Pah, pah, pah! Gossip is gossip, but you're not allowed to curse our Jingyi!"

Du Lianshuang: "..." I was just joking and you're already exploding. If you knew this was what your Jingyi was about to encounter, you'd probably be carrying an Italian cannon and shooting Cui Jueyan and his son right now.

After thinking it over, Du Lianshuang felt that this was feasible. In any case, she had to investigate Cui Jueyan anyway, and that bastard had probably just made contact with Jingyi, so there was still time.

If we didn't know before, that was one thing, but now that we know, we absolutely cannot let that bastard get close to their precious child!

Du Anrao's tense nerves relaxed after hearing Du Lianshuang's explanation.

[Oh, it's news. Well, art imitates life. Some things in reality are more explosive than fiction; after all, fiction needs logic, but reality doesn't.]

Du Lianshuang and her mother finally breathed a sigh of relief. Du Lianshuang even raised her eyebrows triumphantly, pleased with her superb reaction speed.

As the group was talking, there was a knock on the door of the ward, and then two men walked in.

"What are you talking about? Why is the atmosphere so serious?"

The first person to walk in was Liao Yuqian, the husband of Yin Bailu, whom Du Lianshuang and the other person had just mentioned.

The man looked to be in his early forties, dressed in a spotless white suit, with an elegant demeanor, and seemed like an easy person to talk to.

But only those who know him well know that beneath his white exterior lies a black hole. If you dare to treat him like a Buddha, he'll devour you until there's nothing left.

Yin Bailu naturally stepped forward and took her husband's hand, smiling faintly, "We were just discussing some bizarre news. What were you doing that took so long?"

"After I finished using the restroom, I ran into an acquaintance, so we chatted for a while."

"An acquaintance?" Yin Bailu peeked out in confusion, only then noticing that there was a young man following behind her husband.

"Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Xi Jingyue, the president of Shengshi Group, whom I mentioned to you before."

Yin Bailu was somewhat surprised. Liao Yuqian had indeed mentioned this President Xi to her, but she had always thought that he was a CEO around the same age as her husband. She didn't expect him to be so young.

"Hello, Mr. Xi. I've often heard Yuqian mention you before. Seeing is believing, Mr. Xi is so... young and promising."

"You flatter me, Madam. It's all thanks to President Liao's kindness." Xi Jingyue said modestly for a moment before turning her attention to Du Anrao.

His presence here was not entirely coincidental; the hospital under the Xi family's name was in the process of discussing and collaborating with this hospital on technology, and someone needed to come in advance to make the arrangements.

Normally, such a trivial matter wouldn't require him, as a major shareholder, to get involved. However, Xi Jingyue had discovered early on that the Du family had shares in this hospital, so he thought he could use this as an excuse to make a trip and see if he could run into Du Anrao or even the Du family at the hospital.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the hospital, he ran into Liao Yuqian, who had come to visit his wife.

Upon learning that the person his wife was visiting also surnamed Du, Xi Jingyue decisively chose to accompany him. Just a few meters from Du Lianshuang's ward, he heard Du Anrao's resentful and indignant complaints. To listen a little longer, Xi Jingyue even endured Liao Yuqian's strange gaze and rambled on for a long time about the recent international economic situation. Therefore, he had now basically figured out the relationship between Du Anrao, the hospitalized Ms. Du, and the Liao family, as well as the plot points triggered by these individuals.

Recalling Du Anrao's excited tone when she was thinking about how to break down the defenses of that phoenix-man scumbag father and son, Xi Jingyue could even picture the lively little figure in her mind jumping around and beaming with joy, and a smile appeared in her eyes.

"Miss Du, what a coincidence, we meet again."

Du Anrao was also surprised to see Xi Jingyue: "Mr. Xi, what are you doing here?"

“My hospital has a partnership with this hospital, and I came here on a business trip and took the opportunity to come and take a look.”

Du Anrao frowned, seemingly lost in thought.

[This sounds familiar. Didn't Mr. Xi say something similar when I visited Brother Yang at the hospital last time? Oh wait, that hospital last time was also owned by him. This time he's just here as a partner for exchange and learning. Come to think of it, it makes sense. Generally, large hospitals have some connections with each other, making it easier to call in help when dealing with difficult or complex cases.]

[Mom seemed to have mentioned before that the Third Hospital has a collaboration with the First Hospital, and many doctors at the First Hospital are quite familiar with Dad. I imagine Mr. Xi's situation is similar.]

Xi Jingyue found it both helpless and amusing that Du Anrao was becoming suspicious of him and was making up excuses for him.

Therefore, the key to an excuse is quality, not quantity; as long as it's effective, that's enough.

Du Anrao was rather oblivious to these little tricks and couldn't see through them, but that didn't mean the adults were as easily fooled as she was.

Du Lianshuang, in particular, was already suffering from PTSD because of the Cui Jueyan father and son incident and was now facing these unknown strangers. Hearing Du Anrao's mutterings, her alarm bells went off even faster, and she looked at Xi Jingyue with a sharp scrutiny and wariness.

"An'an, do you know this... Mr. Xi?"

Du Anrao, without any suspicion, enthusiastically introduced the two parties: "Mr. Xi is President Li's cousin, the President Li who invited my fourth sister and me to the banquet. We met President Xi a few times when we were in J City before, and he took good care of us."

Upon hearing the name of the Mr. Li who had invited them to the banquet, Mrs. Du immediately recognized the Li family members as the people in front of her and subconsciously narrowed her eyes.

So this is the Mr. Xi that the second brother mentioned. He is indeed handsome and dashing, and his appearance is quite good-looking.

No wonder the second son was on high alert whenever he was mentioned, fearing that this man would kidnap their little one.

Thinking of this, a hint of doubt arose in Du's mother's heart. Was this person's coincidental appearance today merely a coincidence, or...?

"Miss Du, you're too kind. What I did before was just a small favor. On the contrary, Miss Du helped my cousin and me a lot."

Xi Jingyue paused at this point, thinking of his cousin who was still in J City, frantically cleaning up the mess, and took pity on him and explained a few words.

"When he learned I was coming here yesterday, he specifically asked me to thank Miss Du on his behalf. He has a lot of things to take care of right now and can't get away. Once he's finished dealing with these matters, he will come to S City in person to thank Miss Du and... Miss Du's sister."
