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

Chapter 286 This is truly a "heart-wrenching act of filial piety"!
Upon hearing this, the Yan couple nearly died of anger: "Yan Huanwei, has your brain been eaten by a pig? We've told you that their whole family is wicked, and that Liu Yuli is even more vicious, selfish, and vain. She's so young, yet she doesn't learn anything good, always thinking about crooked ways to seduce men and make them her long-term meal tickets. And yet you're still so devoted to her? Are your eyes just for decoration, or are you blind?"

“Your dad is right. If you two truly love each other, that’s fine. Even if you’re young now, your dad and I aren’t old-fashioned and insist on you separating. You can spend a few years together before talking about anything else.”

"But your relationship with her isn't a normal one at all. She's unilaterally using witchcraft to control you. How can your father and I accept a girlfriend who could harm you at any moment? Not to mention, her family almost killed your father. The scene of your father being hospitalized and critically ill before the New Year is still vivid in our minds. Have you forgotten it so quickly?"

"No, you've misunderstood Yuli. She's just a simple and kind girl. She wouldn't even dare step on an ant at school. I've always been the one protecting and caring for her. How could she be controlling me? Poisoning me? What era are we living in? People still believe such a ridiculous scam. Mom and Dad, if you don't want me to be with Yuli anymore, just say so. You don't need to go around making up charges against her like this."

"The claim that Dad is hospitalized and critically ill is utter nonsense. He has health problems himself, so how can you blame it on Yuli's family? Even if Dad's hospitalization is indeed related to Yuli's family, his parents are already dead. When people die, it's like a light going out; all grudges and grievances vanish like smoke. How can you blame Yuli, an innocent junior?"

Du Anrao: "..."

The Du family and Mr. and Mrs. Liu: "..." This is truly a "grand display of filial piety"!
[This is so classic! You only lost your lives, but I lost my love! This love-struck idiot's logic is truly extraordinary; no wonder even zombies would fall for it. He wasn't very smart to begin with, and eating this thing will definitely make him even dumber!]

Everyone nodded in agreement, and then moved back in unison, afraid of being infected by this person's love-struck virus, which was really bad luck.

Click——click——

The sudden unusual noise successfully attracted the attention of the Du family. Turning around, they found Du Yuxi sitting on the sofa, cracking sunflower seeds.

“Yu Xi, you…”

Du Yuxi gave an awkward smile: "These are New Year's goods I bought, it would be a waste not to eat them. I also have peanuts, candied fruit, and nuts here, would you like... some?"

These words only intensified the condemnation in the eyes of the crowd.

Du Yuxi swallowed hard, finally succumbing to the intense stares of the crowd, and confessed, "Okay, I admit that eating right now is a bit inappropriate..."

"Give me one."

Du Yuxi's confession and her mother's enthusiastic voice rang out at the same time, followed by several people shouting in unison.

"Give me one too."

"Me too, I want to eat peanuts."

"Then I'll eat nuts."

Du Yuxi: "..." Good grief, so you guys weren't blaming me for ruining the atmosphere, but rather for not inviting me to eat!

The little incident involving the Du family went unnoticed by the parties involved. Mr. and Mrs. Yan were so angry at their son's theory of "filial piety" that they were seeing stars and their heads were buzzing.

Mr. Liu and his companion quickly stepped forward to help them up, comforting them, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. Every child goes through a rebellious phase. Besides, it's not entirely a problem of being in a rebellious phase; it's because he's been bewitched. His emotions and preferences are completely beyond his control, and you can't take what he says seriously. Master Du will remove the bewitching poison for him in a while, and he'll definitely return to normal."

"You're the abnormal one, your whole family is abnormal! You old-fashioned relic of the old society, feudal, pedantic, and autocratic! I'm not wrong, I just like someone, love someone, and am willing to give everything for her. Why are you stopping me? What right do you have to stop me?"

Yan Huanwei became increasingly agitated as he spoke, a bright blush spreading across his originally pale face, making him appear both sickly and frantic: "I know, I know. You just can't stand to see me doing well, you're jealous that I found true love at such a young age!"

Everyone: "..." No, no, no, we are not jealous of this kind of "true love" that takes your money, your life, and your intelligence, nor are we worthy of it. You should keep it for yourself.

"Anyway, I'm making this clear today: I only want Yuli as my woman in this life, and I will marry no one but her. If you're not afraid that I'll grow old alone and have no one to take care of you in your old age, then go ahead and cause trouble. Don't even think about making things difficult for Yuli. If you dare to cause her any trouble, I'll run away from home, elope with her, and never come back. You can pretend you don't have a son like me."

His face was flushed, his neck stiffened, and he was so impassioned that he looked exactly like those morally upright people in a play who were caught up in their emotions. Du Anrao was so embarrassed that he almost dug a large villa out of his toes on the spot.

"Do you really love her that much?"

"Genuine and authentic, with absolutely no ulterior motives!"

Even if she were a slug, you would still love her?

"Wh...what?" Even though he was already deeply in love with Liu Yuli, Yan Huanwei still hesitated for a moment when he heard Du Anrao's words. His expression even twisted for a moment, but it was as if something had smoothed it out. He replied in a hollow voice, "Love, no matter what she becomes, I will love her."

Upon hearing this, Du Anrao couldn't help but look at him with sympathy.

[Master previously said that people under the influence of the Love Poison curse cannot distinguish right from wrong, nor can they discern beauty from ugliness. Even a dung beetle standing in front of them can be romanticized into a flower fairy—and it's actually true!]

The Du family members: "..." Stop talking, stop talking, I can already picture it!
"You unfilial son! You unfilial son! Don't stop me. No matter if he can recover after the Gu is removed, I'm going to beat him up today to vent my anger."

"Hey, Lao Yan, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive! Don't hurt your son, Lao Yan!"

It's clear that Mr. Yan is a fiery and hot-tempered man. He probably didn't take action before because he was seriously ill and his body was a bit weak. In addition, he was worried about the Gu worms on his son and was afraid that if he acted rashly, his son would be in danger.

In just a short while, not only did his son speak up for the villain who wanted to harm their whole family for his girlfriend, but he also dared to threaten to run away from home. He was acting like an ingrate who would rather have a woman than his parents. Mr. Yan was so angry that his hair stood on end. He grabbed his slippers, rushed over, and gave his son a good beating on the chest and back.

In an instant, screams filled the hall, a sound that truly saddened those who heard it and brought tears to their eyes.

The onlookers cheered and jumped for joy, thoroughly enjoying the show!
