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

Chapter 316 Beautiful older sisters don't lie.

"What thunder on a sunny day? What chosen one? What nonsense is this?"

Mr. Lü and his wife had to go on a trip yesterday morning and were not at school. When they returned in the afternoon, they received a call from Du Yihan saying that he and his sister had been in a car accident, but fortunately, they were not injured.

Du Yihan would never tell him the specific details. After all, if Du Yihan had dared to say something like "a car was about to hit them, but it was struck by lightning just before it hit them," Old Master Lü would have given him a good scolding on the spot.

Let him calm down and, incidentally, withdraw the consent form for the home visit.

Lu Zhenzhu was taken aback when she heard her father say this: "Dad, you don't know? It's all over B University and even some of the nearby restaurants and neighborhoods. Yesterday, there was a car accident not far from the intersection of that run-down, narrow street with a row of hole-in-the-wall restaurants near B University."

“I know that. Aren’t they the two who were in the car accident?” Old Lu pointed at Du Anrao and the other man.

"Yes, then how come you didn't know about thunder?"

"Was this car accident related to thunder?"

Lu Zhenzhu stared at her father for a while, making sure he really knew nothing about it, before she smiled faintly and said, "It wasn't the car accident that was related to the thunder; it was the car that almost hit them that was struck by lightning at the last moment."

Lu Zhenzhu's husband, Huang Yongming, chimed in tacitly, "That's right. In broad daylight, under a cloudless sky, a bolt of lightning as thick as an arm suddenly struck and scorched the car. Isn't that eerie?"

The two were sharing strange tales with the two elderly people in a completely joking tone. Unexpectedly, the two elderly people had just heard that someone was a fortune teller, and now they heard such a mysterious story related to that person, and they were completely stunned.

After a long silence, Grandma Lü was the first to react, and ran back to Du Anrao's side, taking her hand.

He asked anxiously, "Child, is everything you just said true? Your Grandpa Lü isn't well, did you notice?"

“That’s right, Grandma. If you’re willing to believe me, please have Grandpa Lü go to the hospital for a colonoscopy sometime. It would be best if nothing’s wrong, but if something is wrong, it can be detected and treated early. I know it’s a bit unlucky to talk about this during the New Year, but if I know the truth and don’t say anything, I’ll feel guilty.”

Du Anrao did not force the two to believe him, but only advised them to take this matter seriously for the sake of Grandma Lü's health. After hearing this, Grandma Lü believed him more than half.

“Good boy, Grandma knows you’re a good boy. Don’t worry, we’re not angry, and we don’t hold this against you. If it’s there, it’s there; if it’s not, it’s not. How can you change things just by saying a few words? I’ll take him to the hospital for a checkup another day, no, Monday. Like you said, it’s best if it’s nothing. If they do find something, Grandma will definitely thank you properly.”

Lu Zhenzhu and the others arrived later, and they were completely bewildered by what the two said.

"What are you talking about? What health problems? What examinations?"

"It's all because this young man said I have a bad stomach as soon as he walked in, and told me to go to the hospital for a checkup, saying that the school's physical exam couldn't find anything wrong with my body." After explaining, Old Lu muttered with particular resentment, "I think I'm perfectly healthy."

He clearly still didn't think there was anything wrong with his body; he just felt a tiny bit of awe towards Du Anrao because of the lightning strike on the truck.

Or perhaps he simply couldn't resist his wife's insistence, knowing he couldn't change her decision and that he couldn't escape the examination no matter what.

Lu Zhenzhu and her husband exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

Before they could react, the daughter who had been holding their hands suddenly ran to Grandma Lü's side, hugged Grandma Lü's leg, and peeked at Du Anrao.

“I believe in my sister.” Du Anrao raised an eyebrow, squatted down, and spoke to the child: “Why do you believe in your sister?”

"Because my older sister is beautiful, and a beautiful older sister wouldn't lie."

"Pfft...hahaha..."

The child's innocent words successfully livened up the somewhat tense atmosphere in the room, even amusing Du Anrao, the person involved.

"That's not necessarily true. Pretty older sisters love soft and juicy little kids like you. They're always thinking of tricking you into a corner where the adults can't see you and eating you up in one bite."

As Du Anrao spoke, he even brandished his claws at her, which frightened the little one so much that he screamed repeatedly and hid behind Grandma Lü, refusing to come out.

Seeing this, Lu Zhenzhu and her husband laughed as well. They turned to Lu Lao and whispered, "Dad, I don't think this girl has any bad intentions. Like she said, who would go to someone else's house to bring bad luck during the New Year? She must have seen something to say that. Just listen to Mom and get her checked out. It would be best if she didn't have anything wrong, but if she did, it's always better to find out early than late. There's no harm in it."

Aside from his wife, Old Lu usually listens to his youngest daughter the most. Now that his wife and other women are on his side, he has no say at all.

He could only nod resignedly, "I can't argue with you, you can make the arrangements."

“In that case, let Yongming take you and Mom to the hospital for a check-up on Monday. It will be a trouble for you to go with Mom, and it will put our younger generation at ease.”

That was settled, and Du Anrao's purpose in coming here had been achieved.

But because Youyou really liked her and kept pestering her to play together, the two stayed at Grandpa Lu's place until after lunch, when the child's mother was about to take the child to take a nap before leaving.

Before leaving, Du Anrao stroked the little one's head with a loving expression, clearly having become very familiar with her.

"Youyou, you're so cute, how about I give you a little gift?"

"Okay, what gift is your sister going to give me?"

Du Anrao chuckled and made a feint, clenching his fists and then opening them again, revealing a beautiful little brocade pouch lying in his palms.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" The little guy was immediately attracted by the lotus flower pattern embroidered on the brocade pouch and cheered.

This brocade pouch was specially made by Du Anrao from the Qiu family as a New Year's gift for the relatives who had previously given her money and support.

After packing up and giving away the jewelry made from the raw stones, there were still quite a few left. Du Anrao used them to store the talismans and magical artifacts he had recently learned to make in his spare time, and now they came in handy.

Seeing that she liked it, Du Anrao simply hung the brocade pouch around her neck.

"This is a gift from your sister. Inside is a good luck charm that I drew myself. It will protect Youyou and help you grow up quickly and stay safe and healthy. Youyou must keep it with you at all times, and you can't take it off even when you go to kindergarten, otherwise I won't play with you next time we meet."

"Okay, Yoyo will definitely wear it carefully. Pretty sister, you must play with Yoyo next time we meet!"

Before Lu Zhenzhu and her husband could react to Du Anrao's words, the old couple's expressions suddenly changed.
