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

Chapter 198 The house was stolen!

After listening, Du Anrao was amazed by the efficiency of Mr. Yu's family. In just two days, they arrested the person, exposed the truth, thwarted the conspiracy, got a divorce, transferred the household registration, and severed ties. It was all done in one go. They were so decisive and ruthless, leaving no room for negotiation. It was simply... awesome!

"Didn't the mother and daughter... have any reaction at all? Like resistance or rejection?"

It's easy to guess that the lovestruck Mrs. Yu probably hasn't realized the seriousness of the situation yet; Du Anrao is mainly more curious about Yu Yaqi's reaction.

This Miss Yu isn't very bright, but she's got some brains.

"Mrs. Yu didn't react much, or rather, she couldn't help but feel sorry for Mr. Yu when she said this."

He cherished his wife for over twenty years, only to find out that her heart belonged to another man. Moreover, she even felt that he had held her back and was sorry to her. I really don't understand this person's thought process. How could he have done something wrong for all the good he had done for her over the past twenty years?
Du Anrao couldn't understand it either, and felt a little sorry for Mr. Yu.

So, don't be a simp! Don't be a simp! In the end, you'll get nothing. Even if you make it clear from the beginning that Mr. Yu is rich and handsome, why would he hang himself on one tree, giving so much only to be rejected? It's just too tragic!

Jiang Changbin: "..." That's right, it's not like Uncle Yu can't find a wife, why does he have to pick up trash from the trash can like her?

"Chu Hui's younger sister cried her eyes out, saying she knew she was wrong and begged Uncle Yu not to kick her out. Unfortunately, her mother was too demanding and too vicious, so Uncle Yu ignored her and still packed up the mother and daughter and kicked them out."

Du Anrao was not surprised by Yu Yaqi's reaction, and shook his head with a slight melancholy.

[As expected, it's not the formidable opponent you should fear, but the incompetent teammate! Yu Yaqi has clearly seen through her scumbag father's true colors and knows that being kicked out of the Yu family will lead to her utter ruin, yet she's still trying to save herself. Her mother, however, is still obsessed with unrealistic fantasies of finding love and climbing the social ladder. It's safe to say that having a mother like that means she's doomed.]

Despite my sighs, thinking about the despicable things Yu Yaqi did to Yu Chuhui, I suddenly realized that evil people will be punished by evil people. We should respect the fate of others and put aside our desire to help others!

After the cousins ​​finished gossiping about the Yu family's affairs, Jiang Changbin belatedly realized that something was amiss.

Why is he sitting here?

Jiang Changbin pointed at Xi Jingyue, who was sitting on the other side of Du Anrao, and his expression changed drastically.

"Mr. Xi was sitting there all along."

Jiang Changbin choked, then remembered that the invitation had the seats marked on it. He immediately took it out and looked at it, and found that the seat number on his invitation was indeed here. Du Anrao was sitting next to him, Xi Jingyue was on the other side, and Qiu's mother and son were sitting further over. Obviously, they were all in the same row.

"..." A miscalculation! I left for a while and came back to find... my house had been burgled!
"An'an, shall we switch seats?"

"Huh?" Du Anrao was a little confused by Jiang Changbin's suggestion. "Why?"

"I'm not used to sitting in this seat, can I switch with you?"

“It is possible…” Du Anrao turned to look at Xi Jingyue, his face showing hesitation.

Xi Jingyue understood her inner struggle, her eyes flickered slightly, and she said understandingly, "Since Mr. Jiang is not used to sitting in the outer seats, let me switch with you. My seat is a bit further inside."

"No need, my cousin and I can switch. There's no need to trouble Mr. Xi."

The original plan was to separate the two and prevent them from sitting together. If we were to switch places with him, wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?
“But I just made an appointment with An’an to help her get to know these bidding guests as much as possible,” so that she could get to know more interesting and exciting new juicy gossip. Jiang Changbin paused for a moment, then couldn’t help but chuckle: “If I remember correctly, Mr. Xi doesn’t seem to be a local of City B.”

Xi Jingyue roughly guessed what he wanted to say, but remained calm: "I am indeed not from City B."

"If that's the case, where do you get the confidence to think you know more about these things than a local who grew up in City B... senior?"

"It's probably because most of the people here have business dealings with our family, and some others, although they haven't cooperated with us yet, are also interested in doing so."

Jiang Changbin: "..." Damn, so what if you're rich! I was speechless!

Du Anrao glanced at his cousin, then at Xi Jingyue, and instinctively felt that something was off between the two.

He couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Brother, are you going to change seats? The auction is about to start."

"I...I won't change it for now." He was indeed a local from City B, but given his family's circumstances, he didn't usually have much contact with people at this level.

Right now, the only people he knows in this venue are Yu Qingting and his father. He doesn't know most of the other people. If he were to switch places with his cousin, and she got curious and asked him about the guests, and he didn't know anything, wouldn't that be even more embarrassing?
As it turned out, Jiang Changbin's concerns were not unfounded.

Because most of the items auctioned in the early stages had already been displayed in the exhibition hall, the initial process was very fast. Basically, the host had barely finished introducing the items when the people below started bidding.

The rough stone that Du Anrao had her eye on was placed at the back of the auction list. In her opinion, the antiques and paintings auctioned earlier were not particularly eye-catching or rare treasures that would make people want to bid for and collect them.

After watching several rounds, I lost my initial enthusiasm and started to feel drowsy, until...

"The next piece of jewelry to be auctioned is the final work of internationally renowned jewelry master Liang Yongshun, the Heart of the Ocean."

"Pfft..." The host had only just said that when Du Anrao almost choked, and the people on both sides quickly patted her back to help her catch her breath.

"Drink slowly, drink slowly, no one's going to take it from you. How come you choke on water all the time?"

"I cough...I cough, I'm fine, I'm much better now." Du Anrao patted his chest, finally catching his breath, but his eyes were fixed on the jewelry set on the stage.

So much so that people around her began to speculate whether she was interested in this set of luxury jewelry.

Only the people sitting on either side of her knew that she wasn't interested in the jewelry at all, but rather in the gossip that the jewelry might bring!

[It's here! It's here! The famous prop, the Heart of the Ocean, which appears in 99% of romance novels, has appeared! There's a 50% chance the male and female leads will use it as a token of their love, a 49% chance the villain or cannon fodder will use it to frame the impoverished male or female lead for theft, and a 1% chance it will become the motive for a murder in a detective novel.]

Tonight, who will acquire this crucial prop? And whose bedside will it appear on? Let's wait and see!

Jiang Changbin: "..."

Xi Jingyue: "..."

Is that even possible?!
