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

Chapter 193 That boomerang!

It has to be said that wherever there are people, there is excitement; wherever there is excitement, there is gossip; and the essence of human beings is to be gossipy onlookers.

Upon learning that the legendary, devoted lover, Master Du, had finally found his lover after half a century and would soon hold a grand wedding with her, some people from out of town who had never met Master Du were intrigued. They were also curious about the true identity of this Miss Du and her relationship with Master Du.

"I heard that the old lady was found near City B, and had lived there for a long time before that. Could this Miss Du be her descendant, and then Ninth Master extended his affection to her..."

"But she just said her surname is Du."

"What's so difficult about that? It's just changing the surname. Some remarried couples have wives who bring children with them when they remarry, and the children have to change their surnames too, right?"

"You make sense in saying that."

Du Anrao, who was forced to change his surname: "..." Seriously, can you guys gossip about the people involved in this matter a little quieter? I heard everything!

but……

[After all that, all you did was give me the lowly status of a burden? Is this all you've got? This is so childish!]

Jiang Changbin: Pfft...

No wonder you bunch of you couldn't get a single coin out of Grandpa after all that effort, and ended up getting robbed in the end. It seems Grandpa only kept you bunch of grasshoppers around because he was bored, just to tickle himself. Otherwise, he would have just crushed you all long ago. Invincible, sometimes it's really lonely!

Xi Jingyue, who had just stepped into the showroom, heard this passage: "..." Is this little girl starting her Versailles act again?
"So you're my second grandfather's younger sister. I've never met you before. I apologize for being so abrupt."

Du Tianci's words undoubtedly provide further evidence that Du Anrao is not a member of the Du family, or at least not a close relative of Du Desheng.

Du Anrao blinked, feigning confusion, and asked, "Second Grandfather? Are you related to my grandfather?"

She asked the question, but Du Anrao wasn't looking at Du Tianci; instead, she was looking at Awen, who was less than three steps behind her.

Ah Wen immediately stepped forward and said, "Ninth Master did indeed have an older brother, who had a son and a daughter, but..."

"only?"

"I just heard that the man married the daughter of the Yao family in City B, and they had one son and two daughters. I saw them once when I accompanied Ninth Master to a banquet before, and they didn't seem to be the gentleman in front of me."

"Oh, really?" Du Anrao crossed her arms and looked at Du Tianci with interest, saying nothing more, but it was obvious to everyone that she was waiting for an explanation.

Du Tianci's expression stiffened slightly, but he quickly recovered and said with a faint smile, "I am my father's... godson. My father felt sorry for my parents who died early and my family's tragic background, so he took me home, adopted me as his godson, changed my name and surname, and raised me."

"Oh, I see. So we don't have the same surname."

Du Tianci's face turned green, and Jiang Changbin almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Hahaha, that boomerang! It really hits each one silently.

“However, you can’t say that.” Du Anrao smiled, as if that wasn’t enough, and casually dropped a bombshell, “After all, your adopted son might also be an illegitimate child.”

Jiang Changbin and Xi Jingyue: "???" The onlookers: "???"

Du Tianci never expected Du Anrao to say that, and his face was full of disbelief.

Only his father, his biological mother, and himself knew that he was his father's illegitimate son. How did this person find out?
But that's not the point. The point is that he came with his father and older brother today...

Du Tianci turned his head and saw the two people walking towards him from a distance. He was so startled that he instinctively shouted back, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Du Anrao was so startled that he covered his mouth with his hand, looking completely innocent. "So this can't be said? Well, that makes sense. At least an adopted son has a title, but an illegitimate child doesn't, and it's something that can't be shown to others. Sorry, if you don't want others to know about this, I won't say it."

"You...you...you..." Du Tianci pointed at Du An and begged for a long time. Seeing his father and brother getting closer and closer, he finally couldn't withstand the psychological pressure and turned to flee in panic.

Du Anrao watched his departing figure with a sense of regret.

[He ran away already? His mental fortitude is questionable! No wonder he was subtly instigated by his brother's people to come and act as a scapegoat to test me. He thinks he can outmaneuver others and fight for the family fortune? He'll be lucky if he doesn't get sold out.]

Jiang Changbin: "..." Indeed, although his little cousin's attack power was a bit strong, she scared people away with just two sentences. It felt like using a cannon to kill a mosquito, a waste.

However, it was his brother who instigated him to cause trouble for his cousin. Could it be that his brother is the mastermind behind this? Then...

Before Jiang Changbin could think further, a middle-aged man walked over with a young man who was a bit older than Du Tianci and took the initiative to greet Awen.

"Isn't this Ah Wen? Why isn't he with Second Uncle today?"

Du Weilu's original intention was to give Du An a hard time, using Awen's attitude towards him to highlight his own presence as a blood relative of Du Desheng.

But he clearly forgot that Du Desheng had long since severed most of his ties with these so-called blood relatives, and those around him would never treat them as if they were his descendants.

This meant that his seemingly polite inquiry was completely ignored.

The atmosphere froze awkwardly, and Du Wei's facial muscles twitched violently from the awkward silence.

"This must be Second Grandfather's younger sister, right? I heard that Second Grandfather was worried that his future Second Grandmother wouldn't adapt to life in City B, so he specially asked a distant relative's younger sister to come and keep her company. You must be her, right? This is your first time in City B, so if you have any questions, you can contact your brother. I grew up here and I'm very familiar with the whole city."

Du Anrao glanced at the father and son and found it rather amusing.

[Oh ho, so you're already asserting sovereignty? And you said you grew up here? Are you talking about City B? Or my great-uncle's courtyard house? And are you a dog? You actually know how to mark your territory everywhere? Do you really think that just because you peed and made a mark, the place you lived in becomes yours?]

Jiang Changbin was still angry because the eldest son of the Du family was implying that his little cousin was a guest who was temporarily brought in because of the old lady's influence. But when Du Anrao said, "Are you a dog?", he almost lost his temper.

It has to be said that his little cousin's ability to make sarcastic remarks is as accurate as ever.

Putting aside the facts, are these people completely innocent?

The brother and sister came to the auction in high spirits, only to be nitpicked and ridiculed. They even spread rumors, trying to prove their status and outshine the siblings.

Even setting aside the facts, it's all the fault of this group of people; his little cousin did nothing wrong!
