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

Chapter 87 People who listen to their wives are usually lucky.

Du Lianshuang, who was struggling with how to tell her sister Liao Jingyi about this, was also delighted to hear this. She turned to look at her sister-in-law and, seeing her nod at her, immediately grabbed Yin Bailu's hand excitedly.

"Don't blame your sister for not thinking of you when good things happen. Our An'an has real skills, and most people can't even get her to do it. It's only because of our friendship that she can give you an extra number. Other people would have to wait in line."

Du Anrao: "..." That's an exaggeration, that's an exaggeration. She really isn't at the point where people have to line up.

Yin Bailu was already tempted, and Du Lianshuang's encouragement made her even more eager. She looked up at her husband expectantly.

Liao Yuqian sighed. Since Du Lianshuang had said so, he had to go through with it for his wife's sake.

"Then I'll trouble you, Miss Du."

Du Anrao nodded reservedly, not immediately talking about his daughter, but instead carefully observing his face.

After a while, Du Anrao suddenly frowned, his expression becoming increasingly serious.

Everyone noticed the change in Du Anrao's expression. Yin Bailu, being an impatient person, immediately stepped forward and asked, "Miss Du, is there something wrong with my husband?"

Du Anrao smiled reassuringly at her: "Auntie and Auntie are good friends, just call me An'an. Judging from Mr. Liao's appearance, he must have encountered some troublesome obstacles in his career recently."

Liao Yuqian raised an eyebrow, a half-smile on his face, and said, "It seems that President Xi just mentioned this matter."

"Yuqian." Yin Bailu noticed his obvious sabotage and immediately glared at him, telling him to shut up.

Du Lianshuang couldn't stand anyone questioning her precious niece, and since she was already very familiar with Liao Yuqian and his wife, she immediately raised her eyebrows and said sarcastically, "It seems that President Liao doesn't think much of our An'an's abilities. In that case, let's not be disliked. Otherwise, we'll waste a lot of effort and they won't appreciate it, which would be a real injustice."

It has to be said that the closer and more familiar someone is with you, the better they know how to manipulate you.

Sure enough, no sooner had Du Lianshuang finished speaking than Yin Bailu put on a show of sudden rage.

"Liao Yuqian, if you can't speak properly, then shut up! Nobody thinks you're mute!"

Liao Yuqian: "..."

Poor President Liao could afford to offend Du Anrao, but he couldn't afford to offend these two troublemakers. In order to avoid sleeping in the study tonight, he decided to endure the humiliation and keep quiet.

Du Anrao's lips twitched twice; he was really struggling to hold back his laughter.

[This big shot is actually henpecked in private, is this what they call a charming contrast? Hahaha... But men who listen to their wives are always lucky, and he's lucky to have met me, isn't he?]

After warning her unfaithful husband, Yin Bailu took a deep breath and gradually regained her gentle demeanor as an elder.

However, his words still unconsciously revealed a hint of the domineering air of the head of the family: "An'an, you can talk, don't pay any attention to him. Also, why call him Mr. Liao? Call him Uncle. How old are you? Don't you feel ashamed to act like an elder and argue with a junior?"

Liao, who was acting like a big shot, was speechless. "Okay." Du Anrao's face was full of smiles. "Uncle Liao's eyebrows are low to his eyes, slightly drooping and messy, and his temples are slightly damaged and bluish. This is the sign of being wronged by a villain."

"Being wronged by a villain?" Yin Bailu's expression changed slightly.

"That's right. The eyebrows are called the 'siblings' palace' or the 'friends' palace, because you can see the relationship between siblings, friends, peers, best friends, and colleagues from this position. Uncle Liao's eyebrows are slightly droopy and messy, and his ears are small and slightly turned up. Forgive my bluntness, but Uncle Liao's daily behavior is probably not as easy to talk to as he seems on the surface."

Du Anrao's words were tactful, but everyone present was shrewd enough to understand her unspoken meaning.
Yin Bailu paused for a moment, then, as if she had thought of something, gave her husband a meaningful look and asked knowingly, "So, what kind of person do you think your Uncle Liao is in his daily life?"

"Shrewd and capable, resourceful and adept at handling affairs, always planning ahead to ensure no mistakes are made. But at the same time, they are also very decisive and efficient. Once they have made up their minds about something, they will not listen to the opinions of others, and they are autocratic, domineering and arrogant."

Before Du Anrao could finish speaking and before Liao Yuqian could say anything, Yin Bailu couldn't help but clap her hands: "That's right, that's right, all correct!"

This surprised Du Lianshuang: "Is he really like this? But I thought he usually went along with you quite a bit."

"That's because you were all fooled by him." Yin Bailu rolled her eyes, feeling that she finally had a way to vent her grievances of many years.

"He seems easy to talk to, but if you really disagree with him, you're the one who'll compromise in the end nine times out of ten. You have no idea how many times I've lost my temper with him over this over the years, and every time he's quick to admit his mistake, but he'll do it again next time and never change!"

Yin Bailu grew angrier as she spoke. Liao Yuqian was not only autocratic but also eloquent. Whenever the two disagreed, he would tirelessly come and nag Yin Bailu, saying things both directly and indirectly.

Yin Bailu isn't very good at logic. She doesn't like those convoluted, long-winded, and rambling theories. Most of the time, people get confused by her words and end up agreeing with her point of view without really understanding why.

“Having a husband who is stubborn and likes to preach is really a terrible thing. Many times I wonder if I found myself a father.” As Yin Bailu said this, she reached out and held Du Anrao’s hand, and felt more and more that the person in front of her was precious.

“Over the years, you are the only one who has seen through his true colors. Even my daughter thinks that I am being unreasonable when I throw tantrums at him. It is clearly his problem.”

Listening to Yin Bailu's resentful complaints, Du Anrao couldn't help but laugh: "Although Mr. Liao has a strong personality, he is still very clear-headed about many things, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to tolerate him for so many years, Aunt Yin."

Yin Bailu was stunned; what Du Anrao said was true.

To put it bluntly, Liao Yuqian is a bit of a morally ambiguous person, but he has his bottom line, his weaknesses, his concerns, and he is humane.

Even if they have some gray-area businesses that can't be openly discussed, they can still manage to stay within the boundaries and never go astray.

The fact that this person is free from the stains of blood and filth is proof of this. However, once something is acquired, it is not easy to truly remain untainted. A slight misstep can turn one into a target that others will want to eliminate.

Therefore, none of the Liao family members realized that beneath the calm surface lay a surging murderous intent, and that danger was already lurking around them.

"Besides, Auntie, you just said that you've compromised in eight or nine out of ten of your arguments over the years. So what about the one or two that are left?"
