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

Chapter 318 What kind of hellish joke is this?
"Besides, this thing is like money. You can't bring it with you when you're born, but you can take it with you when you die. But I'm only a few years old now, and I don't plan to go down to see my great-grandmother so early. I can save up again after I use it up. Money, no, merit can never be earned enough."

"Pah, pah, pah!" Du Yihan felt that she must have owed this girl something in her past life, which was why she was always choked or angered by her words in this life.

"During the Lunar New Year, they have no sense of propriety and dare to say anything!"

Du Anrao stuck out his tongue, made a zipper-pulling motion with his fingers, and shut up.

However, although she didn't say anything, she was still muttering to herself.

[However, on another note, Third Brother, you even asked Heaven to take away your merits. Have you considered that the merits you have are simply not enough for Heaven to take?]

Du Yihan: =.= That hurts, bro!

"Ah, no, that's not right either. When Third Brother develops a highly effective anti-cancer drug to benefit the public, that would be a great deed, and that should be enough."

"..." I thank you for still remembering to uphold Third Brother's dignity. But, there's really no need for that!
Du Yihan felt like an idiot for worrying about that brat so much. She had the energy to overthink all sorts of nonsense. It seems like everything is really alright now.

The brother and sister were bickering in the car, about to head home, when an uninvited guest suddenly appeared outside.

"Dr. Du, and Miss Du, you're here too! What a coincidence!"

The smiles on Du Anrao and his companion vanished instantly, and they both turned to look at the people outside the car.

The person outside the car window, carrying large and small bags and smiling broadly as he stared at them, trying his best to appear warm and easygoing, was none other than Xiao Jinhang, the very person the brother and sister were currently keeping a close watch on.

Du Anrao's face fell instantly, and his gaze toward the people around him became more resentful and disdainful.

[What bad luck! I forgot to check the almanac before going out today, and I ran into this guy after wandering around for a bit. It's all my third brother's fault; if he had been a little quicker, we would have been out of the school gates by now, and we wouldn't have run into him!]

Du Yihan: "???" Wait, isn't it a bit much to dump such a huge burden on me?

Despite saying that, Du Yihan's aversion to this person was no less than that to Du Anrao. She said indifferently and perfunctorily, "Well, I just happened to be passing by, so I sat with the teacher for a while."

Unexpectedly, this person was quite adept at taking advantage of the situation.

Upon hearing this, she immediately replied, "That's such a coincidence! I'm also here to visit Professor Lü. It's a pity I was held up by something this morning and couldn't come earlier, otherwise I might have been able to chat with Dr. Du and Miss Du and get to know them better."

The Du siblings: "..." No, no, no, we have nothing to say to you. Stay away from us, thank you! Back away! Back away!

Seeing that Du Yihan hadn't said a word for a long time, Xiao Jinhang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly turned his gaze to Du Anrao in the passenger seat.

“I heard from people in the lab that Ms. Du is very interested in our school’s lab. Ms. Du, please let me know in advance when you would like to visit the lab again, and I can accompany you throughout the visit.”

Du Anrao's eyes widened in surprise, and he almost made a meme out of fright.

"Are you... talking to me?" Xiao Jinhang revealed what he thought was a charming smile, and asked in a low voice, "Are there any other Miss Du here?"

Du Anrao: "..." Do you think you're funny?

What's going on? Why is this guy asking me about me? I don't know him at all! Could it be...?

Du Yihan's ears perked up immediately, thinking she might hear some useful information, but to her surprise, the next second she heard her sister scream as if she were a virtuous woman being harassed.

Could it be that he couldn't get through to my third brother, so he's trying to get through to me, hoping to seduce him and get close to him? If necessary, he could even use his status as my brother-in-law to gain entry and, through a combination of coaxing and deception, claim my third brother's research findings for himself.

The more Du Anrao thought about it, the more likely it seemed, after all...

Having a "white moonlight" (a term for a woman's unrequited love) doesn't stop him from finding a substitute, and even if the substitute becomes his true love, it doesn't stop him from going back to his "white moonlight." Don't ask, the answer is always "the bigger picture comes first, feelings take a backseat." Frankly, he's just a womanizer, wanting everything, shameless and trustworthy scumbag. Classic, classic, classic! Stay away from me, you trashy gold digger!

It has to be said that Du Anrao's seemingly outrageous guess actually turned out to be correct by sheer luck!
Yesterday's first meeting with Du Yihan wasn't very pleasant, but it did make Xiao Jinhang notice Du Anrao, Du Yihan's so-called younger sister.

You should know that in his previous life, he had never heard of Dr. Du having any sister.

At first, he thought he had misremembered, but after going back and thinking carefully, he finally realized that Dr. Du did not have a younger sister in his previous life.

Even when I killed him in my past life, I never heard of any prominent relatives in his family. Later, I overheard someone handling the matter mention that his family was originally better off than most, but unfortunately, they had fallen on hard times...

If Du Anrao knew about this, he would definitely tell Xiao Jinhang, "If you remember correctly, when you met in your previous life, all of your family members had probably been plotted against and killed long ago, leaving Third Brother to stand alone and helpless. It was truly tragic!"
The Du family members who were all dead: "..." What kind of hellish joke is this?
Afterwards, Xiao Jinhang sent people to investigate Du Anrao's information overnight and learned that she was actually Du Yihan's younger sister who had been separated from her family for more than ten years and had only recently been brought back. Moreover, Du Yihan doted on this younger sister.

Last year, for her birthday, he specially ordered a limited edition sports car as a birthday gift for her, a treatment he had never received with his previous sister.

After learning about this, Xiao Jinhang's mind raced, and he began to plot against Du Anrao.

Having been reborn, Xiao Jinhang's arrogance remains undiminished, only the threat of his family's terminal illness forces him to lie low for the time being.

Even so, he was really unwilling and awkward to fawn over Du Yihan, but winning over Du Anrao was a different story.

If the investigation is true, Du Yihan dotes on her younger sister and spoils her rotten.

If he could become his brother-in-law and brainwash his sister into a dog that obeyed his every word, then getting the medicine to save her life would be a piece of cake, and even getting the prescription would be a piece of cake.

As for Wen Xia Nuan, as long as he explains it to her properly, she will definitely understand him. After all, he is doing this to treat his illness and survive so that he can be with her for a long time!

Xiao Jinhang was so moved by his own actions that he felt his plan was flawless.

He never imagined that the two siblings had already seen through his true colors, and that not only would they not fall for his tricks, they would also want to kill him at any moment.

He thought he was about to get his hands on a naive salamander, little did he know that it was a great white shark that could swallow him whole at any moment!
