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

Chapter 15: Getting caught up in the gossip?
Director Gao and Zhou Shunzhe had never seen anything like this before, and they were so frightened that they jumped up and took a few steps back to hide in a corner.

They wanted to help Du An and his sister, but were worried about upsetting the crazy woman. Everyone was stuck with this situation.

At this moment, Xi Jingyue, who went out to answer the phone, became everyone's only lifeline.

Xi Jingyue thought so too. His expression darkened slightly as he took two steps in one and was about to rush into the private room when he suddenly heard Du Anrao's voice coming from inside.

"Sister, where did you get your nails done? They look so beautiful."

Inside the private room, Du Anrao suddenly stood up, grasped President Jiang's hand, and subtly shielded Du Hexuan behind him.

This move caught everyone off guard. Du Hexuan didn't have time to stop her, and President Jiang was caught off guard as she got close to him.

After a long pause, he cautiously asked, "Who are you? What's your relationship with him?"

Judging from her expression, she clearly sees Du Anrao as a potential rival in love.

Du Hexuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he wanted to turn the tables on the other party, but he had to swallow his words when he saw the bodyguards behind him.

If this crazy woman really misunderstands that An Rao and he are boyfriend and girlfriend, her anger originally directed at him might be transferred to her sister. Who knows what kind of insane things this madwoman might do in a fit of rage to warn him.

"She's my sister. If you have any problems, come at me. Don't touch her."

"Sister? My own sister?" President Jiang was slightly surprised, and only then did he finally look Du Anrao up and down.

After a long pause, he uttered a shocking statement: "Upon closer inspection, you're quite good-looking, just my type."

Onlookers: ?
Du Hexuan: !

Du Anrao: ...

Sister, you're really defying the heavens! You've already abducted men, and now you're even targeting women.

That's one thing, but are you planning to rob siblings? What, are you planning to fleece our whole family?!
Du Hexuan's veins bulged on his forehead, and he finally couldn't hold back any longer and exploded: "Jiang Huaiying, don't go too far! Others may be afraid of you, but I'm not. If you push me too far, I'll fight to the death. If you dare to touch my An'an today, I'll risk my life to make sure you get away with it!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room simultaneously showed expressions of shock and fear.

The difference was that Zhou Shunzhe and the others were genuinely afraid, while Du Anrao was simply dumbfounded and shocked.

[Jiang Huaiying? Is she Jiang Huaiying? The one hailed as the Iron Lady of the entertainment industry, who kept half of the industry's top stars as her harem, stirring up storms within the circle, only to ultimately ruin herself by keeping a body double?]

Enraged, Du Hexuan was overwhelmed by a mix of emotions, including shock, confusion, pleasure, and bewilderment. His face changed color like a palette, becoming strangely distorted.

No wonder she dared to so blatantly try to sexually harass my second brother. Sweet words and bribes failed, so she resorted to force. She's a seasoned veteran!

It's no wonder Du Anrao was surprised; the character Jiang Huaiying was mentioned in the entertainment industry Mary Sue novel that Yang Jiantao used as a background character.

The protagonist of this book is a lowly extra working on various film sets, and Jiang Huaiying is one of his early-stage "golden fingers" and a female lead. Yes, one of the female leads—this is a multi-female (one man, multiple women) novel!
The poor male protagonist, who has been depressed and unsuccessful for many years, catches the eye of the behind-the-scenes queen of the Chinese entertainment industry by chance and becomes one of her mistresses.

With the protection of this powerful figure in the industry, the male lead officially embarks on his extraordinary journey, rising from an unknown extra to the top of the Chinese entertainment industry and becoming a household name and an international superstar.

Just as the male protagonist's career was soaring, he unexpectedly learned that the reason Jiang Huaiying chose to support him and treat him differently was entirely because she had a white moonlight in her heart that she could not have.

The other party was once a dazzling star in the industry, but because he repeatedly and sternly rejected her advances, he suffered severe retaliation from Jiang Huaiying, which ruined his reputation and forced him to leave the industry.

After destroying the other person with her own hands, Jiang Huaiying seamlessly took over the role of keeping a mistress who bore a five or six-point resemblance to herself.

By then, the male protagonist had already grown tired of Jiang Huaiying's domineering and forceful nature. In addition, with other understanding, gentle, and considerate confidantes as a comparison, the male protagonist, who knew the truth, felt more and more that Jiang Huaiying was a pervert.

However, at that time, he still needed to climb the ranks step by step with the help of Jiang Huaiying, so he had no choice but to suppress his dissatisfaction and pretend to be friendly with Jiang Huaiying.

When the time was right, the male protagonist decisively joined forces with Jiang Huaiying's capable female henchmen to secretly sideline her and eventually crush her completely.

What impressed Du Anrao the most was that the male protagonist, who had successfully seized power, had a female confidante in each arm, and when faced with the disheveled Jiang Huaiying, he immediately channeled the spirit of Zhen Huan.

"To tell you the truth, every moment I've spent by your side these past years has felt suffocating, and every time I touch you in bed, it makes me feel utterly disgusted. Rest in peace, old woman. I'll take good care of the empire you've built for you."

Jiang Huaiying was so angry that she vomited blood several times and died on the spot, thus ending the life of a legendary empress in the entertainment industry.

When Du Anrao was flipping through this book before, he only noticed Yang Jiantao. Now that he knows the identity of the person in front of him, and looking at the scene before him...

[Help! Could my second brother be that unlucky, unrequited love interest?]

This is not Du Anrao's fault. The original work focuses mainly on the male protagonist and his few female confidantes, while the descriptions of other people are basically glossed over.

Not to mention that the so-called "white moonlight" star was almost entirely censored with mosaics. Her current speculation is based entirely on an analysis of the timeline, relevant personnel, and reference materials from the production crew.

As mentioned in the original text, after Bai Yueguang was framed and blacklisted by Jiang Huaiying, Jiang Huaiying immediately seized the resources from him and gave them to the male lead. She then used Bai Yueguang to promote the male lead to the top, successfully creating a second Bai Yueguang who took over all the high-end resources left by Bai Yueguang and perfectly replicated his path to fame.

Jiang Huaiying has now caught up with them, and Yang Jiantao just happens to be a background character in the first resource the male lead gets...

In conclusion, her second brother is very likely the male lead's backup blood pack, and the first resource the male lead is about to obtain is very likely his current role.

[What is this? Did he really get himself involved in the drama? Second Brother's luck is truly terrible; of all people to mess with, he had to pick on this sickly, man-eating flower. Not only will she destroy you if she can't have you, but she'll even drag you out of your grave to suck your marrow dry, extracting every last drop of value. Is she even human? She's a cannibalistic monster! Back off! Back off! Back off!]

Du Hexuan, who is about to become a mobile blood bank: ...

However, this woman wasn't someone he wanted to mess with. Is it my fault that I'm too good-looking and attract so many people?
