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

Chapter 165 What a coincidence!

Du Desheng and Du Yihan's ears perked up. What was going on? Could it be that their An'an knew this young master of the Fu family who had been unexpectedly separated from his family?
It turns out she really did know him!

After opening his eyes, Du Anrao subconsciously glanced at the photo in his hand again.

[I was wondering why Grandpa Fu's son looked so familiar. Upon closer inspection, the features and eyes are indeed very similar, while the mouth and nose resemble his mother more. This one face almost perfectly combines the best features of both parents; no wonder he's so strikingly handsome.]

Du Desheng and Du Yihan: "..." After all this talk, who exactly is this handsome guy? Just give me a straight answer!

Both of them were completely intrigued and itching to get started, but Du Anrao was somewhat conflicted.

[Isn't this too much of a coincidence? If I tell them, will Grandpa Fu and Grandma Wu think I'm deliberately setting a trap for them?]

Du Desheng's eyes flickered slightly as he secretly made up his mind. If the Fu family really dared to think that way, he would simply take his own child and leave, and let whoever wanted to be the relative claim it.

That's how unreasonable they are, that's how protective they are of their own, humph!
The Fu family members had no idea about the grandfather and grandson's little scheme. When they saw Du Anrao open his eyes, his expression seemed somewhat complicated, and their hearts jumped, fearing that something else might happen.

"Is there something wrong?"

Du Anrao met the expectant look in Madam Fu's weathered eyes, recalling how she had cherished the photograph when she first took it out.

The photos, which have been preserved for many years and have long since yellowed, have been resealed and placed in a place closest to the heart. This shows how important the people in the photos are to the person who keeps them.

However, none of these important people are still alive today, and just thinking about it is probably heartbreaking.

Du Anrao pursed his lips, but still chose to tell the truth: "I have roughly pieced together what that person might look like now, and I found that he looks a lot like someone I know. At this moment, I can't say for sure whether it is my subconscious or just a coincidence... In short, I am not sure if he is the person you are looking for."

Grandpa Fu and the others exchanged glances, but instead of immediately raising any questions, they asked somewhat anxiously, "Is it convenient for us to see the person you know?"

"I only met him once, and I don't have any photos of him. However, he's an artist under my fourth sister's cousin's agency, and he recently starred in a pretty famous TV series as the male lead. Wait a minute, let me search online; there should be some promotional photos of him in costume for this series."

After Du Anrao's explanation, the Fu family members all gathered around.

"Is he a celebrity?"

"Yes, but he just signed with the company not long ago and isn't very well-known yet."

Du Anrao entered the name of the film crew that Du Hexuan had previously worked for and quickly found a still of him as the male lead in the film.

Because it's a fantasy drama, most of the stills show the characters in ancient costumes. Even so, when the old lady saw the face in the photo, her heart still started pounding.

She reached out and touched the face in the still, tears streaming down her face.

"So alike, so very alike! Old man, come and take a look! This child looks just like Da Bao when he was young!"

Du Anrao was taken aback by the nickname of the deceased eldest son of the Fu family, but when he saw the two elderly people with gray hair holding a mobile phone helplessly, staring at the small photo shoulder to shoulder with their heads touching, their weathered eyes filled with tears, his nose also felt a little sore.

While empathy is understandable, some reminders still need to be given.

"Why don't you try doing a paternity test with him first? After all, there are quite a few people in this world who look alike." He might not really be the child your family has lost. Old Master Fu understood the meaning behind Du Anrao's words. He quickly wiped his face and said with a faint smile, "You're right. We should be cautious about this kind of thing. We will go to him after we have concrete evidence."

Fu Ruixiang sniffed and stepped forward, saying, "If Mom and Dad trust me, then let me handle this."

The elderly couple couldn't help but laugh: "How could we not trust you? We're leaving this to you."

After instructing Fu Ruixiang, the old lady walked up to Du Anrao and held her hand tightly: "Good child, you've worked hard today. This is a small token of my appreciation, you must accept it."

Du Anrao looked down and found a black card in his palm with the store's name printed on it.

Upon seeing the card, Du Desheng immediately started yelling, "You old Fu, I've swallowed my pride and asked you for this card several times before, but you just wouldn't budge. Turns out you were waiting for this!"

Du Anrao looked puzzled: "Grandpa, is there something wrong with this card?"

Du Desheng snorted coldly: "See our private room number?"

"1?"

"Yes, it's 1. Your card also has a 1 printed on it, which represents this private room. You just saw it, there's a whole bunch of bosses downstairs, lining up in a long queue, just to have a meal here. Even I have to queue up if I want to eat here."

“But this private room is different. It represents the host family and is not rented out. It is only open for use when your Grandpa Fu and Grandma Wu come. But now, they have transferred the right to use this private room to you.”

As the host, there's no need for them to wait in line like the outsiders.

As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for people. Even the richest people can't escape their appetites, otherwise there wouldn't be such a large group of wealthy businessmen lining up downstairs.

For these gourmands, this card probably carries more weight than any project contract.

Du Desheng had considered this card before, but Old Master Fu was too stingy and wouldn't budge no matter what tricks he tried. Now it's ended up in the hands of the Du family!

The old man thought to himself with a touch of pride, but couldn't help but say with a hint of sourness, "The most important thing is that with this card, you can eat for free here. An'an, you have to bring Grandpa here more often and try to eat them out of house and home."

Du Anrao was confused at first, but he finally understood the part about the free meal: "No, this card is too precious, Grandma Wu, you should take it back."

“What’s the point of taking back something you’ve already given away? Don’t listen to your grandpa’s nonsense. Once you’ve accepted this card, you’re family. It’s just a matter of having more chopsticks when it comes to family meals. How could you possibly eat us out of house and home? You can come every day from now on, it’s fine. I’ll have your Uncle Ruixiang cook you some more delicious food.”

"But……"

"Grandma is really grateful to you, and we know this card isn't anything special. Once things are confirmed over there, Grandpa and Grandma will thank you properly."

Does this mean there will be a thank-you gift later? Du Anrao wanted to refuse, but was interrupted by the old lady once again.

"By the way, what's this child's name?"

"...His surname is Fu, the Fu of giving, Fu Sili."
