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

Chapter 90 New and Old Loves Gather Together

"The Palace of Children? Does that mean it's related to my daughter?" Liao Yuqian was the first to notice something was wrong, and his expression changed slightly.

Yin Bailu also froze, her eyes widening in disbelief: "It's related to Jingyi? What happened to Jingyi? She..."

"Aunt Yin, please don't worry. I just noticed something unpleasant on Uncle Liao's face. Your daughter is fine now."

Just because things are fine now doesn't mean they will be fine in the future.

Yin Bailu understood Du Anrao's implied meaning, but her expression didn't improve much.

"An'an, tell Auntie honestly, what's wrong with Jingyi?"

Du Anrao met Yin Bailu's anxious and fearful gaze, his expression turning serious as well: "Uncle Liao's 'children's palace' (a Feng Shui feature) is slightly dim, but overall it's not very noticeable. In other words, your daughter may indeed have a minor problem, but it's not too serious yet, and there's still a chance to remedy it. However..."

"But what?" This sudden turn of events only made the two of them more nervous.

"But I haven't actually seen your daughter in person. From your faces alone, I can only tell that your child is facing a calamity recently, and if not handled properly, it may affect her future fate. There's more I can't see."

Upon hearing that it would affect their fate, the couple became even more anxious.

"I'll call Jingyi right now and have her come over."

"But shouldn't she be in class right now?"

“What’s more important than this? Let her ask for leave.”

Yin Bailu's attitude was firm, and Liao Yuqian had no choice but to compromise. He wondered if his daughter would think they had gone crazy after receiving a phone call from her parents telling her that they had made her take a day off to come to the hospital for a fortune telling.
Du Anrao was also bewildered by the two's swift actions. Seeing that Liao Yuqian had already taken out his phone to make a call, he hurriedly stopped him.

"There's no need to go to so much trouble. Do you have any photos of her from the last two days? The more recent the better, and she shouldn't be wearing makeup."

Upon hearing that a photo would suffice, Yin Bailu immediately pulled out her phone and found a photo of the mother and daughter taken the day before when they went shopping.

In the photo, Yin Bailu is wearing light makeup, while Liao Jingyi is not. The two mother and daughter look very alike, like two twin sisters in the same shot.

However, Liao Jingyi was young, and compared to Yin Bailu's bright and generous demeanor, she was more shy and reserved.

Du Anrao stared at Liao Jingyi's photo for a while, then stroked his chin and pondered, "Judging from the photo, Miss Liao has delicate features and, like Uncle Liao, a widow's peak on her forehead, indicating she has good luck with the opposite sex and many romantic opportunities."

Upon hearing this, Yin Bailu immediately thought of her husband's almost mystical romantic luck. Even though they had been married for over ten years, countless suitors still flocked to him without a care in the world, which was truly bothersome.

Liao Yuqian could tell what his wife was thinking just by looking at her expression, and he secretly felt wronged.

You know, he's practically plastered the words "Married, Do Not Disturb" all over his body, and he only dares to hire male secretaries. Who knows where those women come from?
Du Anrao was unaware that his casual remark had almost sparked another family war. He lowered his head and continued to comment: "People who are popular with the opposite sex are naturally more noticeable, but that's not entirely a good thing, especially since Miss Liao has a small, barely noticeable mole on the bridge of her nose."

Is there any significance to this mole?

“From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the bridge of the nose can reveal problems with the heart, spleen, and stomach. A mole on the bridge of the nose often indicates that the person will have a bumpy love life, a troubled marriage, and is prone to… encountering a scumbag.” Du Anrao paused deliberately, and seeing the couple’s expression change, he continued, “Miss Liao has a mole on the bridge of her nose, and the dark circles under her eyes are faintly spreading to the area below the bridge of her nose. Getting close to this mole is a sign that someone is already watching Miss Liao, secretly plotting to get close to her.”

"If Ms. Liao comes into contact with the other party and develops an emotional entanglement, then these bruises may completely cover the bridge of her nose and envelop the mole. At that time, it may be harmful to Ms. Liao's health."

Du An deliberately portrayed Cui Chengye as a scoundrel who was intentionally trying to get close to Liao Jingyi, but unexpectedly, it reminded Yin Bailu and her husband of Zou Shan from five years ago.

The same deliberate approach, the same emotional turmoil, the same harm to the body...

The thought that her only daughter might follow in Zou Shan's footsteps, being deceived and killed by some unknown scumbag, made Yin Bailu's scalp tingle and she felt on the verge of exploding.

Liao Yuqian's face was also dark. He was there when Zou Shan died along with her unborn child, and the impact he suffered was much greater than that on Yin Bailu.

The thought that someone might be treating his daughter the same way they treated Zou Shan made Liao Yuqian unable to suppress his anger. He wished he could rush to the school right now, find that scoundrel, tie him up, and throw him into the moat to feed the fish!

"We will investigate this matter as soon as possible. Thank you so much for today. When your parents are free, we will bring Jingyi to visit them in person to express our gratitude."

Du Anrao knew that the couple's hearts were probably already with their daughter, so he didn't say anything more.

“Aunt Yin, you’re too kind. You and Aunt are like sisters, and Miss Liao is very close to my two younger siblings. We’re family, so let’s not stand on ceremony. Even strangers would offer some advice in this situation, let alone acquaintances like us.”

"Yes, yes, you're right. We're family, so let's not stand on ceremony. I appreciate your kindness." Yin Bailu took a deep breath and turned to look at Du Lianshuang. "You should rest well in the hospital. I'll come to see you again in a couple of days."

"Go on, go on, I have plenty of people to take care of, you don't need to worry about it. Jingyi and Yuqian's matter is more important, you two go and get busy."

Of course, it would be even better if you could come over and chat with me for a bit after you're done with your work, and tell me about the progress on both sides.

Yin Bailu, unaware of Du Lianshuang's inner thoughts, simply said goodbye to the others and hurriedly pulled Liao Yuqian away.

Liao Yuqian wanted to ask Xi Jingyue if he wanted to come along, but the other party clearly seemed to want to stay longer, so he swallowed his words and simply greeted him before leaving with his wife.

No sooner had Liao Yuqian and his companion left than Cui Jueyan arrived after get off work.

When he entered, the atmosphere inside the room was somewhat awkward, because Cui Jueyan did not come alone; behind him was a middle-aged woman who was simply dressed and had an ordinary appearance.

"Lian Shuang, Mom and Dad know you fainted and were hospitalized, so they had my older sister specially make chicken soup for you to help you recover. Are you hungry now? Would you like to have some to tide you over?"

Du Lianshuang almost lost her composure and told the adulterous couple to get out.

Du Anrao, who had been quietly standing aside as a background figure, couldn't help but let out a heartfelt sigh.

[What kind of love triangle is this, with both new and old flames all gathered together? How can I subtly remind my aunt to cherish her life and stay away from scumbags?]

Du Lianshuang: "..." Thank you, I understand.
