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

Chapter 149 If you can't afford to offend them, can't you at least avoid them?

Du Anrao's words helped her vent her grievances, and her second sister-in-law felt much better.

"Manman, it's my fault. I was so busy with work that I neglected you and didn't even realize you had suffered so much. I... I deserve to die!"

"I know you didn't do it on purpose, and it was indeed me who intentionally kept it from you. You can't be blamed for this."

Unable to bear watching the young couple's awkwardness any longer, Du's mother bluntly said, "It's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature. A person's character doesn't change easily over time. If Manman really had a grudge against her back in school, and now she's unfortunately assigned to her subordinate, she's probably been given a lot of trouble lately, hasn't she?"

"Is that so? What did she do?" Aunt Wu grabbed her daughter-in-law's hand anxiously. "Don't keep it from us anymore, tell us clearly, Mom will back you up!"

"It's not just me she's targeting; everyone in the department is treated like servants by her. Just the other day, two new girls were made to cry by her scolding."

[Tsk tsk tsk, what an air of authority! This company hired such a rich young lady as a manager, aren't they afraid she'll drive all the employees away and cause the company to go bankrupt?]

The people inside: "..." It's not impossible, or should we just... run away?

That's what they say, but humble working people really don't have that much choice.

"However, perhaps because of a past conflict, she's been targeting me lately, and... she seems quite interested in my new design."

Du's mother reacted quickly: "What do you mean? Does she mean she's trying to steal your work?"

The fact that my second sister-in-law didn't say anything actually made the problem clear.

Fifth Aunt's face darkened: "This is simply outrageous!"

Du Anrao, however, curled his lip, looking disgusted.

[She didn't just want to steal her second cousin's work; she also planned to frame her for stealing valuable jewelry from the company. The scheme was all set up, just waiting for the next couple of days to be completed so her second cousin would walk right into it!]

Upon hearing this, Aunt Wu's family almost jumped up in frustration: "Why don't we just quit our jobs? If we can't afford to offend them, can't we at least avoid them?"

My second cousin chimed in, "Yes, there are plenty of jewelry companies. If you're not happy here, we can switch to another one. Or you can take a break, go out with the kids, and change your mood."

My second cousin knew that his wife had her own ambitions and didn't want to be locked at home as a housewife worrying about trivial matters. He had always supported her in pursuing her dreams.

But the situation is different now. The other party is intent on harming people, and they have no evidence and are powerless to stop it. If something goes wrong, it will be too late to regret it.

It would be better to leave before anything happens, avoid this vicious snake, and then think of another way.

The second sister-in-law was also startled by Du Anrao's reminder, but she couldn't help feeling somewhat unwilling.

She has been with this company for a long time and has put in so much effort to achieve what she has today.

Moreover, the company environment, the compensation, and the colleagues she worked with all met her expectations for the job, except for that one bad apple!
the most important is……

"If I resign now, she will definitely steal and misuse my new work. I've already suffered from this before because of her. If it happens again, it's really..." My second sister-in-law was furious just thinking about it.

It was this incident that bothered her, which caused her to be depressed for so many days, and it even affected her breast health.

Du Anrao's eyes lit up when he heard her say that: "Sister-in-law, you said that you suffered a loss at her hands before because of this, which means that she had already used your work without permission before?"

"Correct."

"Then, sister-in-law, do you have any evidence of this?" "Evidence?" My second sister-in-law was stunned. "I do, but her family has a powerful background. Back then, the school was basically run by her family. Even if I produce evidence, it won't be of any use. I'll still be accused of plagiarism, so..."

"So you didn't produce this evidence back then, and had no choice but to settle out of court."

Second sister-in-law nodded.

"So your company is now also owned by her family?"

"...No, that's not it. I've never heard of any connection between her family and the company."

"In that case, why not try to let your company's senior management know about this?"

"This……"

[My second cousin's direct supervisor at the company had encountered a similar situation in his youth and deeply abhorred this despicable act of using family influence to seize others' work for personal gain. If my second cousin can provide evidence to prove her claims are true, the other party will definitely help her get that person kicked out of the company.]

The second sister-in-law was stunned, and the others were also delighted.

“An’an makes a good point. How about we… give it a try? If it really doesn’t work out, we can just quit and stop being so humiliated. But if your company’s management is understanding and helps you get justice, then you can stay at the company.”

"……Fine."

"That's right." Du Anrao took a bite of the fruit his mother handed him and comforted her, "There are countless jobs in the world. If one doesn't work out, we can just change jobs. There's no need to make yourself suffer over such trivial matters. These days, aren't all young people obsessed with creating everything for everyone, going crazy with stability, and never compromising themselves? What a beautiful state of mind!"

Second sister-in-law: "..." She is indeed quite beautiful.

"Speaking of which, what's the name of the jewelry company where Manman works again?"

"It seems to be called something like the Ya Yu Family."

"Pfft...cough cough cough..." As soon as Aunt Wu said this, Du Anrao choked, which startled everyone in the room, some patting his back and others handing him water.

After finally calming down, Du Anrao grabbed his fifth aunt's hand and asked, "What did you just say was the name of the company where your second sister-in-law works?"

"Is there something wrong with the Ya Yu family?"

Du Anrao was taken aback.

[I knew those jewelry styles looked familiar; they're definitely old acquaintances.]

An old acquaintance? With whom? The Fifth Aunt's family exchanged surprised glances.

[Mr. Qiu, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to curse your company to go bankrupt!]

The second cousin and the others looked at the second cousin's wife with questions, only to see that she also had a subtle expression on her face.

Their company boss is indeed surnamed Qiu, and the general manager is also surnamed Qiu, and is the boss's biological son. It's just that I don't know if the General Manager Qiu that my little cousin mentioned is the boss or her son.

Du's mother subconsciously straightened her back and said meaningfully, "That's quite a coincidence. He Xuan just happens to be the spokesperson for their group. Not long ago, because of An An, he signed several more product contracts and became their chief spokesperson for new products this year."

The information contained in Du's mother's words was quite substantial. Du Hexuan was a celebrity and a well-known movie star, so it was not surprising that Ya Yu Group invited him to be their spokesperson. What was truly intriguing was that, judging from her words, Du Hexuan was able to get this new product endorsement because of his sister's influence.
