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

Chapter 153 Allow Me to Make a Fool of My Own Argument

Uncle Li was equally surprised and dropped the glass in his hand. He turned to look at his wife in astonishment, his eyes filled with disbelief.

“Yu Xi, you just said…”

Du Yuxi looked embarrassed: "It's like this, you should have heard about my sister An'an's situation. On our birthdays, many relatives and guests rushed to have her tell their fortunes. And many of the things she told have come true, so she is quite credible."

The couple nodded, but still looked puzzled: "That's true, but what does it have to do with what you just said?"

"In fact, when An'an last saw her cousin, she discovered that he was unmarried but had a son."

Aunt Li's face changed drastically: "What? You mean..."

"It's just as you think, my cousin has a child who has been living away from home."

Aunt Li gasped, “This…how is this possible? Your cousin…he hasn’t had a girlfriend all these years. Apart from…aside from your cousin and Li Qianxi, he’s rarely seen even a woman he’s close to.”

At this point, Aunt Li suddenly had a sudden thought: "The child you're talking about, could it be Li Qianxi...?"

Du Yuxi's lips twitched slightly, clearly taken aback by Aunt Li's unexpected remark: "No, that child should be in kindergarten by now."

"What?" The couple nearly jumped off the sofa. "They're...they're already this big?"

“Yes, An’an just called me to tell me that she thinks she’s found my cousin’s child who was lost and living away from home. He’s in the kindergarten that my fifth aunt’s child attends.”

The two could no longer remain calm. Aunt Li stood up abruptly and paced back and forth, while Uncle Li couldn't help but pick up his wife's cup and take a sip of tea to calm his nerves.

"No, we need to find out what's going on as soon as possible. The child is so old, and we didn't know anything. I'll call Zhaoyang right now and tell him to come back immediately."

Aunt Li calmed down a bit and sat back down next to her husband: "Quickly call Zhaoyang and tell him to come back. His own child is so big, and he hasn't even mentioned it to us. That kid is really asking for trouble!"

Du Yuxi sat opposite the two men, watching her uncle call her older cousin, who was still working like a slave at the company, and order him to come home immediately. She calmly took a bite of the melon in her hand, secretly lighting a row of candles for her older cousin in her heart, praying that he wouldn't be beaten too badly when he came back.

Li Zhaoyang had just invited Xi Jingyue to the company and hadn't even had time to say his opening remarks when his father called him back.

Hearing the urgency in Uncle Li's voice, Xi Jingyue thought something serious had happened, so she went home with Li Zhaoyang.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the gate, I was met with the gloomy and serious faces of two elders.

"Zhaoyang, tell me honestly, have you been having affairs outside and caused someone's death?"

Li Zhaoyang was immediately stumped by a deadly question, leaving him completely dumbfounded: "Wh...what do you mean by messing around? What do you mean by murder? I didn't do anything..."

"You didn't? If you didn't, then why did Yu Xi's sister say she met your child who had been living away from home? Even now, you still want to lie to us! Today... I'll beat you to death today, you unfilial son who started this affair and then abandoned us, who has disgraced the family."

Uncle Li got angrier and angrier as he spoke, and pulled out a rolling pin from somewhere, intending to give his son a lesson on the spot.

Not to mention Li Zhaoyang, the person involved, Du Yuxi and Xi Jingyue were both shocked.

Xi Jingyue, mindful of their meager brotherly bond, stepped in front of Li Zhaoyang and advised, "Uncle, calm down, let's talk this out."

"Yes, yes, Dad, please talk this out, don't hit me. What do you mean by starting something and then abandoning it, what do you mean by disgracing the family? I really don't know anything about it!"

"You dare to argue? Do you think An'an would lie to you for no reason?" Uncle Li waved his rolling pin, looking fierce and determined to beat his son to a pulp.

"An'an?" Xi Jingyue's action of stopping him suddenly stopped when he heard the key word. Li Zhaoyang also rushed out of the dodging circle due to his rush and came face to face with his father. In the blink of an eye, he was hit with a stick.

"Oh, Dad, I really didn't do that! Don't hit me, please don't hit me yet, let me try to explain myself again!"

"Well...it might not be a false accusation."

"No, brother, you..." Li Zhaoyang's eyes widened in surprise, completely unexpected that he would be betrayed by Xi Jingyue.

Xi Jingyue glanced at him with disdain. She hadn't expected that after so much time, this guy still hadn't found his first love and their child who had been separated from him. She had really overestimated him!

"Look at you, look at you! Even your brother isn't helping you. What else do you have to say?"

"I...but I really didn't..." Li Zhaoyang was speechless, feeling even more wronged than Dou E.

"Have you forgotten? Didn't I ask you before if you've ever been in a relationship?"

“You…you mean…” Li Zhaoyang finally realized what was going on and suddenly turned to look at Du Yuxi.

"Cousin, you..."

"You mean my child with Jingzhu? Where is he now? And Jingzhu, is she also...?"

Du Yuxi was taken aback by his question, and after a long while, she asked blankly, "Jingzhu?"

Aunt Li glanced at her son and then at her nephew, instinctively sensing that Xi Jingyue also knew about this. Her expression grew increasingly serious: "Can anyone tell me what exactly is going on? Who is this Jingzhu you mentioned? How did you end up having a child with her?"

"Jingzhu...she was my first love."

"First love?!" the couple exclaimed in surprise. "When did this happen?"

"Back in college."

"You had a girlfriend in college, how come your dad and I didn't know?"

"...We broke up before I even had a chance to tell you."

The Li couple: "..." Who gave you the courage to say such a thing so confidently?
“You still say you didn’t mess around outside, and that you didn’t start something and then abandon it. You broke up with her after only dating for a short time, and you even got her pregnant. I…I…” Uncle Li stood up and started looking for the rolling pin again.

"No, we talked for a long time. I was even planning to bring her home to meet you guys, and then..."

Aunt Li realized something was wrong when she heard this. She knew her own son well. Since he was already planning to bring her home to meet his parents and discuss marriage, it meant he was absolutely serious about this girl.

The girl must have had feelings for him too, otherwise why would a young girl in the prime of her life choose to give birth to and raise a child alone?

Once something has been started, it's not difficult to continue talking about it.

Li Zhaoyang hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Besides...besides, I wasn't the one who broke up with him first. Strictly speaking, I was the one who was dumped!"

The crowd present exclaimed, "What?!"
