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

Chapter 120 The silence is deafening

Du Yihan found a ready-made reason for what she was about to do, and her eyes lit up when she turned to look at her younger sister.

"After all, our little sister's situation is special, we can't let some random wild man outside kidnap her."

The two Du brothers wholeheartedly agreed, even feeling that their younger brother had finally grown up and was beginning to take on the responsibility of being an older brother.

The next second, I heard him mutter to himself, "I really want to pry open her head and see what's inside."

Du Junyan and his companion: "!!!"

"Du! Yi! Han!"

Du Yihan, however, seemed to be used to her two older brothers breaking down her defenses, and said nonchalantly, "Just kidding, just kidding."

"If someone else said this, I might think they were joking, but you said it..." It doesn't sound like you're joking at all!
Du Hexuan looked his younger brother up and down, his face full of suspicion.

Du Junyan also didn't quite trust his unreliable younger brother, giving him a warning glance: "Are we just going to watch like this?"

Du Hexuan finally remembered the important matter. Looking at the two people not far away who were still talking about something, he gritted his teeth and said, "They're dawdling like this even though they're about to leave. Everyone knows what they're up to. I have to go and see."

"Wait a minute." Du Yihan was worried about not having a chance to show off the birthday gift she had painstakingly prepared for her younger sister, so she stopped Du Hexuan. "You stay here, I'll go."

As Du Anrao was talking to Xi Jingyue, he suddenly heard a loud car engine roar. The next second, a particularly eye-catching red sports car drove up to the gate of the Du family in a very blatant manner.

Some guests who hadn't yet left stopped in their tracks upon seeing this, pointing and whispering among themselves at the car.

A few young people who knew a bit about sports cars couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "Is that the new Phantom 280 from XX Group this year? I heard that only 50 were released globally for the first time, and even if you have money, you might not be able to buy one. Who is this? Driving a car like that to a banquet?"

Du Anrao stared at the bright red car for a while, then watched as the driver's side window rolled down, revealing a familiar face.

"Third brother?"

Du Yihan smiled and got out of the car, opening the driver's side door: "An'an, do you want to try the birthday present your third brother gave you?"

"A gift?" Du Anrao's eyes widened in surprise. "This car is a birthday present from you, Third Brother?"

"Hmm, do you like it? Want to go up and try it out?" Du Yihan said, handing over the car keys and gesturing for Du Anrao to get in the car.

Du Anrao didn't reach out to take it, and the Du Junyan brothers, who had followed after hearing the commotion, were speechless.

The expressions of everyone present were subtle, but Du Yihan remained oblivious. Seeing that Du Anrao didn't reach out to take it and even frowned, she asked, "Don't you like it?"

"...Brother, I just turned eighteen today."

"So what?"

Are you trying to make me drive without a license?

Du Yihan froze, and Du Anrao looked back innocently. The brother and sister stared at each other in a deafening silence.

At the crucial moment, the reliable fourth sister stepped forward: "What does Third Brother mean? Would you like to ride in this car? You've been cooped up at home all night. Let him take you out for a drive and get some fresh air."

"Right, right. You can't drive, so I'll take you for a drive first. Once you have your license, you can drive around by yourself."

Du Anrao nodded and stepped forward to take Du Yuxi's hand, saying, "Fourth Sister, let's go together."

Du Yuxi had drunk a little tonight because of the Li family's presence, and she really wanted to find a place to get some fresh air and clear her head, so she agreed. Du Anrao only remembered Xi Jingyue was still watching when they were almost in the car, and called out apologetically, "Mr. Xi..."

The moment Du Hexuan and the others appeared, Xi Jingyue knew they were after him. He smiled good-naturedly and said, "Go have fun. I should go back now."

"Alright, it's late, Mr. Xi, you should go home early and get some rest."

"it is good."

This birthday party, a mix of scandals, drama, and mystical elements, came to a perfect end amidst the loud roar of sports cars. However, apart from Du Anrao, it was probably a sleepless night for many others.

The next morning, Du Yuxi had to go to school and asked for leave, so she got up very early. Du Anrao, however, stayed in bed for a while and waited until everyone had left before going downstairs. Unexpectedly, he saw a familiar face downstairs.

[I was wondering what I'd forgotten last night; turns out it was my aunt! None of her family came last night!]

Sitting opposite Du's mother, Du Lianshuang, her eyes red from crying, looked pitiful. She suddenly stopped, and then cried even more bitterly.

"Sister-in-law, I really didn't expect... I never expected him to treat me like this, to treat our child like this, I... Waaah, all these years, I was so blind, how could I have fallen for such a thing, waaah..."

As soon as Du Anrao approached, he heard Du Lianshuang's sobbing, and all his drowsiness vanished instantly.

"What's wrong with Auntie?"

Could it be that they discovered Cui Jueyan's affair with his sister and their illegitimate child?

Du's mother glanced at Du Lianshuang and sighed softly, "Children shouldn't meddle in adults' affairs."

"……Oh."

"It's alright, it's alright, sister-in-law, you don't need to cover it up for me. It's not my fault, he's not even ashamed, why should I cover it up for him?"

[Auntie is awesome! That's right, instead of condemning the evildoers, they laugh at the victims. Isn't that just bullying the weak and fearing the strong? Don't be afraid, Auntie, tell us everything, and we'll help you get revenge!]

“I’m sorry, An’an. Your aunt originally planned to come and celebrate your birthday in person last night, but yesterday morning your uncle… oops, no, that scumbag suddenly came to my ward and begged me to let his eldest sister’s son off the hook. He said that his eldest sister’s son had accidentally offended Yuqian, and he hoped that I could plead with your Aunt Bailu to let the child go, considering how hard it was for his eldest sister to raise her son alone after losing her husband at a young age.”

Du Anrao's eyes brightened slightly, and he subconsciously sat up a little straighter.

It seems Aunt Yin and Uncle Liao have discovered that Cui Chengye deliberately approached Liao Jingyi. The question is, have they uncovered Cui Chengye's true motives?

Du Lianshuang recalled Cui Jueyan's anxious appearance when he rushed over to ask for her help yesterday. She felt relieved and amused, but her face still maintained the original look of bitterness.

"At first, I thought it was just a young couple experiencing their first crush, but they're still in school, so it's definitely considered puppy love. I can understand why the girl's parents reacted so strongly. Who would have thought..."

Du Anrao's ears perked up, but just then Du Lianshuang started crying again.

Du Anrao: "..."

[My aunt must have been a storyteller in a teahouse in her past life! "To find out what happens next, stay tuned for the next episode." This constant use of open-ended questions is driving me crazy!]

Du's mother: Pfft...

Du Lianshuang: "..."
