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

Chapter 3 The Fourth Sister I've Never Met

Mrs. Du gasped, gritting her teeth: "One thing at a time. Since she did such a thing, there's no need to have anything to do with her anymore."

Although Du Anrao was puzzled by his mother's sudden change of attitude and her resolute stance, he temporarily put his mind at ease and turned to look at Du Junyan, who had almost suffered an undeserved disaster.

[Speaking of which, Bai Xiuqing and her older brother were only alone together for less than ten minutes that night. If there were no security cameras in the room, and she insisted on blaming her brother for the child and contacted the media to pressure the Du family, wouldn't her brother have had to check the security footage outside the hotel room to prove himself? How many rumors would those netizens, always eager for drama, create then?]

[Men were speechless, women wept; to prove his innocence, he publicly admitted to it.]

[Shocking! The Du family heir has been single for many years, and it's because of this!]

A man and a woman living alone in the same room for ten minutes ended in a fatal incident. Who is lying? Click to find out...

Mr. and Mrs. Du: "Pfft..."

Brother Du, whose reputation has been damaged: "..." Little ancestor, shut your brain!

Bai Xiuqing's appearance made Du Anrao re-emphasize the library in his mind, and after lunch, he found an excuse to go upstairs to look up books.

However, what she didn't know was that as soon as she went upstairs, several people gathered together.

Seeing his parents' unusually serious expressions, Du Junyan didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "I heard everything."

Mr. Du raised an eyebrow: "How much did you hear?"

"All."

Du's mother also realized that Du Junyan was referring to what they had overheard in the hall: "That video..."

"I was lying to her."

Unexpected yet reasonable, the couple remained silent for a moment before returning to the main topic.

"Bai Xiuqing's matter must be thoroughly investigated." Du's father still harbored some resentment towards Du Anrao for mentioning his father's killer and the destruction of his family.

Mother Du was more concerned about something else: "What about An'an..."

Knowing what his mother was worried about, Du Junyan said first, "An'an is my own sister, and I will do everything in my power to protect her no matter what happens."

Mr. Du glanced at his usually composed eldest son, nodded with satisfaction, and made a decision: "Don't tell An'an about this yet, lest she overthink it. Also, pay close attention these next few days to see if only we can hear it or if others can hear it too, and whether there are any distance limitations."

The three reached a consensus on the matter, and Du Junyan quickly took action to investigate the things that Du Anrao had revealed.

Bai Xiuqing has been living abroad for the past few years, so it will take some time to investigate her.

However, Du Anrao also mentioned that Bai Xiuqing had an inside man at the Third Hospital who helped her tamper with her test reports.

Du Junyan started from this point and soon made progress.

The next morning, Du Anrao received a gift from his elder brother as soon as he went downstairs.

"This is?"

"Meeting gift."

Du Anrao looked at the familiar card in Du Junyan's hand, increasingly bewildered: "Didn't I give it to him yesterday?"

"That one is for living expenses, and this one is for pocket money."

"..." Pocket money and living expenses are given separately? And if she remembered correctly, there must have been seven figures in that card yesterday, and judging from her brother's tone, this one is probably even more.

Do all wealthy people express their feelings in such a simple and unpretentious way? It's utterly outrageous.

Du Anrao was flattered: "No need, the one from yesterday is enough for me, I don't need to spend too much money by myself."

Despite saying that, Du Junyan was unusually insistent on the matter, remaining silent with a cold face and refusing to take the card back.

The two remained locked in a stalemate until Du's mother finally came over, took the card, and stuffed it directly into Du Anrao's pocket.

“Your brother gave it to you, so just keep it. Every kid in our family has one, so don’t feel embarrassed. We’re going out to buy some things today, so we’ll use this card.”

Du Junyan breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly: "Yeah, call me if you need more."

The two people's undisguised tolerance and favoritism gave Du Anrao a feeling he had never experienced before, a feeling that was strange but not unpleasant.

Du Anrao had lived in a Taoist temple on the mountain since he was four years old. Although he was not completely isolated from the world, he still had limited resources.

She didn't bring much with her when she came down the mountain this time. Although her mother had sent a lot of things to her home before she came back, she still wanted to take her out for a walk herself to help her adapt to her current life and integrate into the society down the mountain more quickly.

Du's mother took Du Anrao to a nearby high-end shopping mall, which had five floors, each with different kinds of luxury stores.

Du Anrao followed his mother from the first floor to the third floor, buying clothes, jewelry, shoes and bags. At first, he felt novel, but in the end, he was just numb.

After finally making it to noon, Du's mother decided to call it a day and, satisfied, led Du An into a Western restaurant on the fourth floor.

I had just finished ordering when I heard a sarcastic female voice coming from next door: "I was wondering why you looked so familiar. It's Miss Du. Is the Du family going bankrupt? Sending your only daughter to work as a waitress in this shabby little restaurant?"

"Oh dear, look at my memory! The Du family has already found their real biological daughter. This fake heiress is going to be kicked out with her tail between her legs, isn't she?"

It's the Du family again, and it involves both a real and a fake heiress; the implications are quite strong.

Du Anrao, who had been feeling listless from the intense shopping, suddenly perked up and turned to look in the direction of the sound.

Before she could think any further, she heard Du's mother, sitting opposite her, call out in a daze, "Yu Xi..."

[It's confirmed! This is my fourth sister, whom I've never met before, who moved out of the house.]

Du's mother: "..."

Not far away, Du Yuxi, whose expression turned slightly cold from being mocked, thought: "??? What was that sound?"
Ye Mengzhen seized the opportunity to deliver a scathing sarcastic remark to her arch-rival, feeling an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

Seeing that Du Yuxi had no reaction and still maintained that aloof and unapproachable demeanor, the anger in his heart instantly flared up again.

"I heard that Miss Du was found in a remote Taoist temple in the mountains of Y Province. She never even went to school and is just a lowly, uneducated country bumpkin. Aren't you particularly resentful that such a thing replaced you, the eldest daughter of the Du family?"

"But what can you do if you're unwilling? They are the true blood relatives of the Du family. Even if they were an idiot, they would still receive the protection of everyone in the Du family. On the other hand, what good is your excellence? Now you can only be a low-level waiter, serving tea and water and living a life of servitude."

The Fool. Nine-year-old Fish: "..." We've never even met, and I'm so sorry to have troubled you like this.

"Ye Mengzhen, don't go too far!" Du Yuxi, who had just kept a cold face when mocked before, finally couldn't help but explode when she heard this.

“Take your anger out on me, it has nothing to do with her. It’s my fault that she’s become like this, it’s my parents’ fault, but that doesn’t mean you can talk about or laugh at her suffering.”
