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

Chapter 106 Life Never Stops, Trouble Never Ends
Before Du Anrao could react, Fifth Aunt, who had been standing by Ruan Xiuru's side, quickly started patching the wounds for her sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, are you talking about Leilei? But isn't Leilei Zixuan's child? Could it be... could it be that Leilei is Hongyun's child? Then wouldn't Hongyun and Zixuan be..."

Ruan Xiuru also realized her oversight and showed an expression of extreme shock.

Although Du Anrao still had a feeling that something was wrong, he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

[So it was just habitual thinking. Speaking of which, Aunt Wu reacted really quickly. Perhaps it's a case of those involved being blinded, while bystanders see things more clearly? But what's with this older sister? Could it be that even God couldn't stand seeing someone mistreat a child like this, and just happened to let my cousin meet this kind-hearted benefactor?]

Ruan Xiuru's eyelids twitched. She thought to herself, "What kind of benefactor is this? The one who saved their child is clearly this clueless little girl in front of everyone."

In an instant, Ruan Xiuru understood why the Du family valued their youngest daughter, whom they had brought back from outside, so much. They even made a grand and solemn coming-of-age celebration for her, inviting almost everyone in their family who was well-known.

This is a true benefactor, an invaluable benefactor who can save lives in critical moments! If it were them, they would also want to give them all the best things in the world.

While secretly feeling grateful, I couldn't help but feel both relieved and apprehensive.

Fortunately, despite her arguments with Du's mother, their relationship was still quite good. She didn't miss the two children's birthday party today because of a momentary lapse of judgment, otherwise she would have regretted it for the rest of her life!
The child's health issues may be temporarily resolved, but this does not mean that the parents' relationship will be smooth sailing from now on.

Du Anrao glanced at Ruan Xiuru, who was still in shock and couldn't react, and coughed lightly to bring her attention back.

"Auntie, you can confirm the child's situation later. Now that the calamity has passed, the child will surely have a safe and prosperous future, blessed with unparalleled happiness. However..."

"Just what?"

"Fourth Aunt has a full forehead and a bright and clear children's palace. Although her spouse died early, her children are intelligent, humble, and filial, and she can enjoy family happiness in her later years. However, Fourth Aunt's temples are dark and have some lines, which indicates that the happiness and harmony of your family will attract the jealousy of some villains, who will then do things that damage your family relationship. If not handled properly, it is very likely to cause the couple to turn against each other and relatives to be separated."

Du Anrao's words were not an exaggeration. If the original plot had continued, her cousin Hongyun would have had to chase after her relentlessly until the very end to get a happy ending.

The reason why he had to go through so much trouble was not only due to the sins he himself had committed, but also largely due to the vicious female supporting character Qiu Ludan who lusted after him.

Du Hongyun had already clearly refused and warned her, but this young lady had had everything go smoothly since birth, and the only obstacle she had encountered in the past two or three decades was Du Hongyun.

Originally, she only wanted to have some fun, but Du Hongyun's rejection aroused her desire to conquer him. As a result, in the later part of the story, getting him and driving away all the women around him became Qiu Ludan's obsession.

Under these circumstances, she accidentally learned about Du Hongyun's feelings for Du Zixuan and discovered that the other party had already given birth to a lovely child for Du Hongyun. She was almost driven mad with jealousy and made up her mind to kill Du Zixuan and their child.

Perhaps to create conflict, the author arranged for Qiu Ludan to encounter Du Zixuan's biological mother at this time.

Ruan Xiuru almost cried out in surprise. Zixuan's biological mother? Zixuan's parents had both passed away long ago, otherwise she wouldn't have been kicked around by several relatives and almost sent to an orphanage. How come there is a so-called biological mother now?
[That's why they say storytellers are so cunning. I was wondering why they kept emphasizing in the beginning that the female lead was an orphan and her father died, but never mentioned her mother. Apparently, her mother didn't die at all; she just ran away.]

In short, Du Zixuan's mother already felt that living with Du Zixuan's father was a hard life. After learning of his unfortunate death, she couldn't imagine how difficult it would be to raise Du Zixuan alone, so she simply abandoned her daughter and ran away. Du Zixuan's father's relatives, feeling ashamed and fearing that outsiders would pressure one of them to adopt Du Zixuan and wait for her mother to return, lied and claimed that both her parents were dead, intending to send her to an orphanage.

Unexpectedly, before Du Zixuan even entered the orphanage, she was intercepted by Grandpa Ruan and sent to her fourth uncle's house.

After Qiu Ludan learned about this, she immediately saw through Du Zixuan's vain nature and deliberately revealed to her how well Du Zixuan was doing after being adopted by Ruan Xiuru, inducing Du Zixuan's birth mother to ask her for money.

Although Ruan Xiuru's family has always treated Du Zixuan very well over the years, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they treat her like their own child.

However, this did not prevent Du Zixuan from being sensitive and insecure for many years of "living under someone else's roof". The appearance of her birth mother became the last straw that broke her back, making her feel more and more that she was not good enough for Du Hongyun, and then she ran away again.

The key point is that she ran away, which played right into Qiu Ludan's hands. She hadn't even run a few miles before she was kidnapped by Qiu Ludan's men, and she and her child were almost sold to another province.

Du Anrao: "..."

I don't really understand you love-obsessed people's thinking. Is dating really this complicated these days? Luckily, she's single.

Turning around and seeing Du Yuxi, I couldn't help but sigh.

Look at that vicious female supporting character in other people's stories, she never stops causing trouble, dancing from beginning to end, never forgetting her original intention. Unlike my fourth sister, who did nothing wrong, yet was burdened with a bunch of accusations, and then was even subjected to a humiliating trial, more wronged than Dou E!

Du Yuxi: "..." There's no need to make such a comparison.

Ruan Xiuru was terrified. This woman was not only causing trouble behind her back, but she also dared to kidnap her two children. It was simply outrageous!
With a thousand thoughts swirling in her mind, she had already made her own plans regarding Qiu Ludan and Du Zixuan's so-called birth mother, but a trace of worry still showed on her face.

"What should we do? You can only steal for a thousand days, not guard against thieves for a thousand days."

"That's not difficult. Just pay more attention to the people around your older cousins. The petty people around young people are nothing more than a few types: competitors, enemies, and... bad romantic relationships."

Du Anrao, who thought he had been straightforward enough, glanced at Ruan Xiuru's thoughtful expression and was about to keep his good deed to himself when he was caught by Fifth Aunt, who had been waiting by his side.

"Hehe, An'an, you've already done the fortune telling for your fourth aunt, can you do it for your fifth aunt too? I want to do the fortune telling for my son, your second cousin, about his career prospects."

My fifth aunt's second cousin is currently at a crucial point in his career, and my fifth aunt wanted Du Anrao to check on his career prospects and whether his promotion would be successful.

Unexpectedly, after hearing her words, Du Anrao seemed to suddenly realize something and froze.

Oh, how could I forget? Fourth Uncle and Fifth Uncle are brothers, right? Then Fifth Aunt's child also has problems!
