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

Chapter 111 Not Living to Thirty

That one? Which one?
The aunt subconsciously turned to look at Du's mother with a questioning look, but Du's mother was still confused and could only shake her head helplessly.

However, Du Anrao didn't keep everyone in suspense and quickly gave the answer.

Previously, while in the hospital, Du Anrao witnessed the changes in Zou Heng's appearance.

Different choices determine different fates, and she also gained merit on the spot, truly seeing future fragments related to Zou Heng.

However, after that, Du Anrao had people try it several times, but no similar situation occurred again.

Therefore, she was unsure whether this thing was triggered randomly or was linked to merit points, requiring a certain amount of merit points to take effect.

Whether it's the former or the latter, Du Anrao has no absolute certainty.

But since it involved lives, she had no choice but to give it a try.

After figuring out the whole story, my aunt's heart started pounding again.

Although they didn't know beforehand what the red color represented, they had a general idea.

Red can represent reunion and celebration, but it can also represent bloodshed and misfortune.

If it were the former, Du Anrao's expression wouldn't be so serious, and his tone wouldn't be so heavy, so it can only be the latter.

Du Bixiao's profession dictates that she cannot completely avoid risks, let alone slack off.

However, if we could know in advance why she was in danger, the chances of avoiding this danger would greatly increase.

Since their daughter's life and safety were at stake, the couple were so eager to listen that they wanted to memorize every word Du Anrao revealed and analyze it frame by frame.

Although Du Yuxi didn't know what Du Anrao's so-called triggering condition was, it didn't stop her from secretly patching up the situation for her sister and everyone else present.

"So this is what my cousin does." Du Yuxi gave Du Anrao a push with a half-smile. "Then we'd better be careful, or who knows when my cousin might get upset and drag us in to boost her performance."

[Yes!]

Du Anrao belatedly realized the seriousness of the matter and awkwardly touched his nose.

[Help! How could I forget? My charlatan persona is only sometimes effective, sometimes not. I hope I don't get arrested as a scammer!]

Everyone: Pfft...

Du Bixiao's family: "..." No way, no way.

Fortunately, her uncle reacted quickly, clearing his throat and saying, "Yu Xi, you really love to joke. Your cousin only arrests heinous criminals and thugs. You haven't done anything wrong, so why would she arrest you?"

[Got it. My cousin wouldn't even look at a nobody like me. It's unnecessary to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut.]

Du Bixiao's lips twitched slightly, but she could roughly guess Du Yuxi's purpose in bringing this up at this time. She said with a mix of annoyance and amusement, "You little brat, after not seeing you for years, you even dare to tease your older sister, huh?"

Du Anrao was surprised by Du Bixiao's overly familiar tone: "Sister, do you know her?"

“Mom took me to City B before, and I stayed at my cousin’s house for a few days. My cousin took good care of me.” Du Yuxi changed the subject, “but she also bullied me quite a bit. Now, my little sister grew up in a Taoist temple. I heard that when my second brother was harassed, she single-handedly beat seven or eight bodyguards who were a size bigger than her until they couldn’t get up. Sister, you might not be able to beat her. You can’t bully me anymore.”

"That's amazing! Do Taoist temples still teach self-defense skills these days?"

"Of course! My sister has quite a few skills. Besides this, her best skill is predicting future prospects and judging people's fortunes. Would you like to give her a try, sister?"

Du Anrao's expression was somewhat stiff, fearing that her distant cousin might suddenly attack and arrest her at any moment.

"Okay."

"Huh?" Du Anrao blinked, almost thinking he had misheard. His surprise was so obvious that Du Bixiao was amused: "I said okay, you help me calculate it, and if you're right, I'll give you another birthday present."

"What if the calculation is inaccurate?"

"If it's not accurate, it's not accurate. It's just a joke, why take it so seriously?"

Du Anrao seemed to wake from a dream, and his tense nerves relaxed.

"Oh right, I was just doing a fortune telling for my own family, I'm not charging anything, it's just for fun, what's there to be afraid of? Come on, let me think of a way to... cough cough, I need to make up a story to make my cousin believe my joke."

Onlookers: Pfft...

Du Bixiao, who was about to be scammed: "..." If you keep muttering like this, my hands are really starting to itch.

"Since my cousin has said so, I'll reluctantly do my part and help you with the calculation."

This decisive and slightly smug attitude was a world apart from his attitude when he was facing Du Jizu.

Du Bixiao couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, go ahead and say it. Even if you say something wrong, I will never be angry."

Look at what he said, it really stirred up Du Anrao's competitive spirit.

"Your cousin has a high nose bridge and long, narrow eyes, but a flat and slightly sunken marital palace, which indicates that you are a very career-oriented person. You are serious, meticulous, and decisive in your work, with foresight. You are likely to succeed in whatever you do. However, it is precisely because of your strong career focus that you cannot balance family and career well. Therefore, your cousin's marriage may be a bit late, and she will most likely meet her true love after the age of thirty."

“Even when I was dating someone before, I would have conflicts with my partner for various reasons, and it was difficult to stay together in the end.”

Upon hearing this, Du Bixiao and her family of three displayed different expressions.

The uncle and aunt recalled their pressure to get their daughter married over the past few years, and their feelings were complicated.

Du Bixiao breathed a sigh of relief without making it obvious. She had indeed been busy with her career all these years and had no intention of dating. She had also not met any good candidates who could move her heart.

She could understand her parents' worries, but their pressure to get married was really giving her a headache. Now, thanks to Du Anrao's words, she could at least have some peace and quiet for two or three years.

"only……"

"But?" The sudden turn of events made everyone temporarily put Du Bixiao's late marriage out of their minds.

[If we don't solve this immediate problem, I'm afraid you won't even live to thirty!]

Uncle and Aunt: "!!!"

Du Bixiao: "..."

Despite his thoughts, Du Anrao naturally couldn't just stick his tongue out and say, "Cousin, give me your hand first."

Du Bixiao cooperated by extending her right hand. Du Anrao looked down and pointed to a very obvious line on Du Bixiao's palm, saying, "This is my cousin's lifeline."

The Du family members, along with Du Bixiao's parents, instinctively moved closer and stared at Du Bixiao's palm.

Du Bixiao's eyelids twitched, but she didn't say anything in the end, silently enduring the orderly onlookers.

“From this line, we can see that my cousin had two major tribulations in the first half of her life. One of them was probably between the ages of six and eight.” Du Anrao pointed to a small, pointed bump on Du Bixiao’s life line, not far from the starting point.

As soon as she finished speaking, the expressions of Du Bixiao's entire family changed.
