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

Chapter 100: A complete split personality and twisted personality

Poor Du Zixuan was already feeling inferior because she was living under someone else's roof. Seeing that Du Hongyun acted as if nothing had happened and never mentioned what happened that night again, she became even more convinced that he had no romantic feelings for her and that what happened that night was just an accident. He was unwilling to take responsibility and didn't even dare to mention it.

But her silence didn't mean trouble wouldn't come her way, because of what happened that night: she got pregnant.

Ruan Xiuru: "!!!"

Wait a minute, Zixuan got pregnant because of what happened that night, which means there was no other man involved. Leilei is her son's son, her grandson!
Ruan Xiuru finally realized the truth belatedly: a year ago, Du Zixuan returned from abroad with a two-year-old child, claiming that she had met a scumbag who had abandoned her after starting a relationship with her abroad, and that he had tricked her into giving birth to the child.

But the other party disappeared completely after the child was born, leaving her with no choice but to raise the child alone.

Ruan Xiuru was both angry and heartbroken at the time, wishing she could go abroad to find that scumbag and chop him up to rid the people of this scourge.

But now they're telling her that the scumbag is actually her son, this is truly...

Ruan Xiuru was momentarily at a loss for whether to be happy or angry, but no matter what, she was still quite excited to know that the child was her own.

That's my grandson, my clever, adorable, chubby grandson!
So what if Jiang Runing had so many sons and daughters? In the end, wasn't she the one who held her grandson first? Hahaha!

Du's mother had known Ruan Xiuru for so many years, and she could tell what Ruan Xiuru was thinking just by looking at her expression. She felt helpless and amused at the same time.

Du Anrao was also speechless about his cousin.

[To treat something like this as a dream is truly amazing. Could it be that you've had these kinds of dreams quite often? Tsk tsk tsk, to put it bluntly, it's just pent-up energy, a repressed pervert.]

Ruan Xiuru: "..."

To be honest, given her son's taciturn nature, it's quite possible, but...

Ruan Xiuru glanced around, barely suppressing the urge to cover her face.

After today, son, your reputation is probably ruined. But it's deserved, you had to act recklessly. You almost ruined your wife and children. Good luck to you.

[Du Zixuan used her studies abroad as a cover to give birth to a child, and then returned to China with the child after completing her studies, falsely claiming that the child was born to her with someone else abroad. Seriously, you believe such a ridiculous excuse? And judging from the description, the child looks at least five or six points like her cousin, right? Are you blind? Can't you see that? Don't you have any suspicions at all?]

The onlookers: Pfft...

Blind Ruan Xiuru: "..." Stop cursing, stop cursing.

[This cousin is getting more and more unreliable. He doesn't have the guts to confess his feelings to someone, but when he sees her bring her child home, he gets insanely jealous. It's the same with the child; on one hand, he can't resist the natural father-son bond and wants to be close to him, but on the other hand, he's disgusted that it's his beloved's child with another man. He's a complete schizophrenic and conflicted person.]

When Ruan Xiuru heard Du Anrao say this, she also felt that her son was indeed too stupid. Fortunately, she still had her grandson.

She is now completely content with her grandson, and she even finds herself increasingly disgusted with her son, who caused her to only now discover his existence.

Meanwhile, Du Hongyun, far away in another city, suddenly felt an itch in his nose and couldn't help but sneeze loudly. [Well, this family of three lived awkwardly like this for several months. During that time, there was also that vicious female supporting character who, upon hearing that the female lead had returned from abroad, caused all sorts of trouble, constantly going to her cousin to sow discord, making him extremely jealous and furious. Fortunately, despite his jealousy, he couldn't bring himself to actually do anything to his wife and child, otherwise, wouldn't there have been a classic "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" scene later on?]

Ruan Xiuru was also shocked when she heard this. She had met Qiu Ludan once or twice. She was said to be the daughter of a big boss who was cooperating with the company.

Ruan Xiuru could tell that she was interested in her son, but she didn't think about interfering too much.

The most important thing is that your son likes her. If the girl he likes happens to be of similar social standing to him and can help him in his career, that would be even better.

But now, knowing that this person had used such despicable means to get her son and had been secretly making trouble to prevent their family from being reunited, Ruan Xiuru's anger flared up. She wished she could find that woman right now and tear her apart, and put her on the company's blacklist.

Hmm... the turning point in their relationship occurred when...

Ruan Xiuru instantly forgot her overwhelming anger and pricked up her ears to wait for what would happen next.

The onlookers, who were also watching the spectacle, subconsciously held their breath, waiting for the climax of the story to arrive.

Ah, it's their child, Du Zhelei, who's in trouble.

What?! Ruan Xiuru's heart skipped a beat, and her breath caught in her throat.

Seeing this, Du's mother quickly helped her up, held her hand tightly to comfort her, and whispered to her, "It's alright."

Ruan Xiuru suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, the child is alright now. As long as I figure out the truth of the matter today, I can let the two adults go about their business when we get back. That way, we can avoid the risks early and let the child grow up safely."

[The couple's son started kindergarten at age three, and Du Zixuan found a job to support him. One day, something happened in Du Zixuan's department, requiring her to work late into the night. She had no choice but to ask Du Hongyun to pick up her son. Du Hongyun hesitated after receiving the message, so by the time he finally decided to go pick up the child, it was already dark.]

Ruan Xiuru had already started grinding her teeth. This son of a bitch was getting more and more useless. He didn't have any of the charm his father had when he was pursuing her. She didn't know who he took after!

[The child was already being bullied at kindergarten because his father was unknown. That day, another unruly child, whose parents were also working late and were still lingering at the kindergarten after dark, was also there. The two children were put together, and soon they started fighting.]

It is said that human nature is inherently good, but sometimes we really can't underestimate a child's malice and destructive power, because they don't even realize that hurting others is a bad thing.

Du Zixuan gave birth to her child alone abroad and didn't receive much care. Du Zhelei was born with a deficiency and was already thinner and weaker than other children his age. How could he possibly beat a brat who was twice as strong as him?
When Du Hongyun arrived at the kindergarten, Du Zhelei had already been beaten until his head was bleeding. He was so frightened that he picked up the child and ran to the hospital.

[Then comes the classic trope of this type of story: the child has lost too much blood and needs a transfusion, but his blood type, like Du Hongyun's, is a rare blood type.]

Du Anrao frowned, his face ashen.

[They look so alike, and both have the same rare blood type, so hard to find. The author's hints are pretty obvious, right? But this cousin is just a bit dim-witted, or maybe he was genuinely scared seeing the child injured. Hearing that the blood bank didn't have any usable blood for the child, he told the nurse to take his own, and then… tragedy struck.]

Ruan Xiuru: "!!!"
