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

Chapter 234 Special Hobby

Feeling that he had resolved the potential troubles, Du Anrao spent some time packing up the exceptionally large and heavy raw stone and had it delivered to the Qiu family.

After doing all this, it was almost dark.

Under Du Desheng's intense gaze, Xi Jingyue regretfully declined Du Anrao's offer to stay for dinner.

Du Anrao assumed that Du Anrao, as the boss of a large company, was busy with his affairs, so he did not stay any longer.

After dinner, Du Anrao felt like he had forgotten something. After thinking about it carefully, he finally remembered what he had overlooked.

"Oh no, how could I forget about my older brother?"

Du Anrao slapped his forehead, quickly took out his phone to check, and found that the message he sent last night had been replied to, but it was just two simple words: "It's okay."

Du Anrao stared at those two words for a long time, his brows furrowing.

After noticing something was wrong last night, she messaged Du Junyan to ask if he had encountered any troublesome issues recently.

However, his older brother did not reply at that time. Although Du Anrao was worried, he thought that he was probably already asleep so late, and he would call him again the next day to ask.

I never expected that when I went to the restaurant, I would run into the eccentric Du Wei and his family, Mr. Yao, and Fu Sili. I was delayed for a while and then forgot about it.

Du Junyan replied the next afternoon, and his reply was very concise and clear, but Du Anrao just felt for no reason that something was not quite right.

After thinking for a moment, I called Du Junyan: "Brother, has something been bothering you lately?"

"Why do you ask that?" Du Junyan, who was still in a meeting at the company late at night, raised his hand to signal everyone in the room to be quiet for the time being.

"I'm fine. The company has been expanding its business recently, so I've been quite busy. When you sent me your message last night, I was talking to the boss of another company about cooperation, so it wasn't convenient for me to call. Do you have enough money now? If not, I'll send you some more."

"Enough is enough."

Hearing from Du Junyan that he was discussing business with a partner last night, rather than being held back by something difficult, Du Anrao breathed a sigh of relief.

"I noticed you didn't reply to my messages yesterday, and I thought something had happened to you. Now that you're alright, I'm relieved."

Worried about disturbing his older brother's work and having to stay up all night again, Du Anrao quickly hung up the phone.

Du Junyan's explanation might have fooled Du Anrao, but it couldn't fool Du Desheng.

"Does your company have any plans to expand externally recently?"

"That's what my older brother said. I don't know much about company matters, and I rarely get involved."

"In that case, I'll call your older brother later and ask him what's going on."

Du Anrao's eyes brightened slightly: "That's great! You're knowledgeable and experienced, so you can definitely give my brother some reliable advice. Of course, it would be even better if you had any connections in this area that you could introduce to my brother."

Du Desheng almost laughed out of anger at the girl's fawning manner: "Now you know not to be polite to your great-uncle. Why don't you ever think about yourself more usually?"

“I’m not going to encounter anything major, why would I need you to worry about these things for me? And who said I haven’t thought about myself? My older brother manages the family company, and I get dividends too. In other words, he’s my bread and butter. If I want him to be well, isn’t that because I want myself to be well?”

"...Fine, I can't argue with you. Go back and rest now, so I don't get annoyed just looking at you and end up being so angry that I can't sleep."

Du Anrao pursed his lips, not wanting to take the blame, but still obediently went upstairs to catch up on his sleep.

However, what she didn't know was that no sooner had she left than Du Desheng, who had just been laughing and joking with her, suddenly turned serious.

Qin Yanqing overheard their conversation and guessed what had happened. She leaned closer to Du Desheng and asked in a low voice, "Did something happen to that child's family?"

"pretty close."

"Could it be because of us? If that's the case, you have to help him. Don't let the two of us old guys ruin the young man's life." Du Desheng frowned and said in a deep voice, "I know what I'm doing. Don't worry."

Both elderly people believed that the problems with the Du family company stemmed from their excessive pampering of Du Anrao, which led some people to become impatient and begin targeting the Du family behind Du Anrao.

In fact, the disaster that befell Du Junyan's company had little to do with them.

The sudden plunge in the stock price of the Du family company went unnoticed by Du Anrao, an outsider who paid no attention to the stock market, but that doesn't mean Du Hexuan, who worked away from home, was oblivious.

Therefore, he rushed home from the film set and hastily convened a family meeting with everyone in the family except for Du Yihan and Du Anrao, who were still far away in City B at the time.

"What exactly happened? Why did the company's stock suddenly plummet like this? Who's behind this?"

Mr. and Mrs. Du exchanged a glance and sighed, "Let your eldest brother tell you about this."

"It's Jia Yunxiao."

"Jia Yunxiao?" Du Hexuan and Du Yuxi were completely confused. "Who is that?"

“Um…” Du’s mother glanced at her eldest son, thought for a moment and then helped to explain, “He is the father of the child in Bai Xiuqing’s belly.”

Du Hexuan: "???"

Du Yuxi: "!!!"

A deathly silence filled the room. After a long while, Du Yuxi finally murmured, "It was him."

Compared to her, Du Hexuan was much more straightforward.

"No, is this guy crazy?! Didn't my brother expose that woman's true colors and kick her out? Why is he still... wait, could it be that he knows that the woman came to our house to extort money from my brother but failed, and he feels that she was wronged in our house, so he's turning around and messing with our family?"

The more Du Hexuan thought about it, the more convinced he became that this was indeed the case! When Du Anrao was mentally criticizing this outlaw before, he already felt that this person was not quite right in the head.

Now it seems really abnormal, this guy is a neurotic, deranged idiot!
When Du's parents heard him say that, they looked at their eldest son again. Du Junyan sighed and said truthfully, "Although there are some minor discrepancies, overall it is not wrong."

Du Hexuan and his sister: "???"

"Big brother, I have a question." Du Yuxi quickly raised her hand.

"what?"

What is "entry and exit"?

"Yes, he did bring Bai Xiuqing to see me and questioned me about my relationship with that woman."

"...So how will you answer?"

"What else could I say? Naturally, I would try my best to distance myself and tell him that I have absolutely no relationship with that woman. Even if I did, it would only be a past relationship. Her parents are gone, and with her current behavior, what relationship could we possibly have?"

"So he...believed it?"

Du Junyan paused, recalling what had happened that day, his expression subtle: "He asked me if I was questioning his judgment?"

Du Yuxi: "???"

The others inside the room: "..."

At this moment, everyone present had the same thought as Du Junyan that day.

This idiot pervert probably has some kind of special fetish, like, he loves to cuckold himself?
