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

Chapter 319 Ugly but with lofty ambitions
Du Yihan was shocked when she heard Du Anrao's guess, and she no longer felt that her sister's complaints were deliberately trying to pin the blame on her.

Why didn't he just walk and talk, and leave this troublesome place sooner?

Otherwise, there would be no need for him to see this unlucky thing now, which has already dirtyed his eyes.

That filthy thing, which is an eyesore, actually dares to covet his sister. It's like a toad trying to eat swan meat; ugly as it is, yet it dreams so beautifully.

"If my An'an really wants to visit the lab, I, as her older brother, will guide her there. There's no need to trouble Mr. Xiao."

Du Yihan's sarcastic tone, clearly tinged with resentment, didn't bother Xiao Jinhang at all.

In his view, Du Yihan's current wariness of him precisely confirms his love and care for his younger sister, Du Anrao, which is consistent with the rumors.

"Dr. Du, please don't misunderstand, that's not what I meant. I just felt that your research is very important, and you have relatively little free time. It's understandable that you sometimes can't find time to accompany Ms. Du. On the contrary, I'm the idle person in the lab, and I'm mostly doing nothing. I should help everyone in the lab solve problems and prevent future troubles."

Xiao Jinhang felt that what he said was reasonable and insightful, and he had subtly praised Du Yihan, so there was nothing wrong with it in any way.

Little did he know, Du Yihan laughed in anger after hearing his words.

So you knew you were a useless piece of trash in the lab, at least you had some self-awareness, but not much. You even tried to get close to my sister under the guise of helping me out. You're really taking advantage of me. You really think we're both idiots!
"Mr. Xiao, you'd be better off spending more time with your girlfriend from the same school. Don't worry about my sister's affairs."

Du Yihan's words startled the other two.

Du Anrao was purely surprised, and also puzzled.

How did Third Brother know about the female lead's existence? In this timeline, the female lead shouldn't have entered the lab yet. Could it be that they had contact elsewhere before this?

Xiao Jinhang was also stunned. If he remembered correctly, in his previous life, he had no idea about his relationship with Wen Xia Nuan until the person in front of him died. How could this be...?

Who told him that? Or did Wen Xia Nuan lie to herself, and that they had actually already...?

But no matter what, he can't admit it at this time. Otherwise, Dr. Du already has a bad impression of him, and if he "misunderstands" him as a womanizer who has multiple partners, then this whole thing will be impossible to continue!

After a brief moment of surprise, Xiao Jinhang replied somewhat stiffly, "Wh...what girlfriend? Dr. Du, what are you talking about? I don't understand. I've always been single and don't have a girlfriend."

Du Yihan noticed the change in his expression, and her disdain deepened: "Mr. Xiao, it's not a good quality to do something and not admit it. If you two aren't really in a romantic relationship, then this relationship is a bit..."

Even though Xiao Jinhang was mentally prepared to be subservient to Du Yihan, his expression still twisted for a moment when he met Du Yihan's gaze.

“Dr. Du, I don’t know who spread rumors about me in front of you. But I have nothing to hide. The truth cannot be hidden, and the falsehood cannot be made true. I do not have a girlfriend, nor have I had any improper relationship with any female students from my school.”

"I'm letting this go this time because you were also deceived, but I hope similar rumors won't continue to spread. It's not good for either of us."

Xiao Jinhang spoke with such righteous indignation that if Du Anrao and the other hadn't already known his true nature, they might have been fooled. Du Yihan didn't take his threat seriously at all and sneered, "Fine, whether you have a girlfriend or not, whether you're willing to admit she's her or not, is your business. I'll just say one thing: stay away from my sister, or I'll beat you up every time I see you."

Without giving Xiao Jinhang a chance to react, she rolled up the car window, started the car, and sped away, disappearing in a matter of moments.

Xiao Jinhang was left standing there stunned. It wasn't until he was sprayed with a large amount of car exhaust fumes that he realized what had happened. His face darkened completely, and he angrily kicked the flower bed next to him.

"Who is it? Who exactly is it?"

Whether in his past life or this life, he was extremely cautious during the period when he was in a relationship with Wen Xia Nuan.

He never made Wen Xia Nuan's existence public, and he never even picked her up from school or looked for her on campus, all so that he would have a way out when his white moonlight returned in the future.

Under these circumstances, Xiao Jinhang did not think that anyone on campus could discover his relationship with Wen Xia Nuan and reveal it to Du Yihan in advance.

The only possible explanation is that Wen Xia Nuan, the person involved, told him this herself.

Having just been reborn, Xiao Jinhang is ambitious and wants to reclaim everything that originally belonged to him. He wants to survive and also wants to be with the woman who rejected him in his previous life and whom he loved but could not have.

But now, with the sudden and inexplicable situation, his supposedly unbreakable love has been instantly cracked.

Xiao Jinhang was an extremely selfish and suspicious person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so determined to kill Du Yihan just because he misunderstood him and treated him as a potential enemy in his previous life.

Now, this situation has been replicated in Wen Xia Nuan's life once again.

At this point, Du Anrao and his sister were unaware that because of Du Yihan's warnings, Xiao Jinhang's long-pretended affection had been shattered once again, and the so-called true feelings between the male and female leads had once again become precarious.

On the other side, Du Anrao was also very curious about the source of Du Yihan's information.

"Brother, how did you know that guy had a girlfriend at school?"

Fortunately, Du Yihan had already prepared her explanation. She coughed lightly and said, "If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. That guy is quite a celebrity at school. His uncle is the director of the research institute, and his parents are also very influential. He's good-looking, rich, and well-connected. In the eyes of many young people, he's a high-class rich second-generation, a prime candidate for a wealthy husband."

"It's a pity his character isn't very good. He's still a student, but instead of studying hard to enrich himself, he's always up to some shady and crooked ways. I heard it from other people in the lab. He's been seeing a girl in a lower year of school and is using his status as a senior to coerce her."

"To put it nicely, their relationship is that of boyfriend and girlfriend; to put it bluntly, he's a scumbag who's playing with a girl's feelings. If you ever meet such a womanizing and promiscuous scoundrel, you'd better stay away from him and not let him corrupt you."

"Oh."

Du Anrao readily agreed, but what he was really thinking was...

[Wait a minute, Third Brother didn't even know the female lead was Xiao Jinhang's girlfriend until his death, otherwise he wouldn't have given her his research results. How come he knows so clearly now?]
