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

Chapter 352 How could this happen?
Li Yuesheng nodded in deep agreement. She grew up in a healthy family. Her father was stern, her mother was loving, and although her brother was sometimes unreliable, he would always stand in front of her and protect her from any trouble.

Although most of the time she doesn't need the protection of her parents and brother, sometimes what a family wants isn't just the outcome, but also the attitude.

People like Gong's father, who are cowards who only know how to hide behind women in public but like to act like the head of the household at home, are the kind of people she hates the most.

The aunties and older women hired by Du Anrao and his wife were also quite indignant. Seeing the couple slink away, they muttered, "They're leaving already? They even left their daughter here. I wonder if they're even their biological daughter. How can there be such irresponsible parents? It's a terrible thing."

"Alright, alright, you should say less." The patient's family member next to the older woman pulled her aside, indicating that she should at least consider the girl's feelings; the girl was already pitiful enough.

Du Anrao couldn't help but sigh as he listened to their discussion.

Although they are biological children, how can a child not conceived in love compare to the so-called fruits of love? Wait, something's not right...

Du Anrao paused for a moment when he said this, and then a high-pitched scream suddenly burst out in his mind.

【how so?!】

The sudden increase in volume startled Li Yuesheng, the Du and Li families who had been waiting for a long time and were still worried about the two coming downstairs, and someone who had rushed to the hospital, causing them to shudder on the spot.

Before anyone could think further, Du Anrao had already revealed the real reason that had caused her to lose her composure.

[Gong Jinyuan is actually their biological daughter! Did they know this? If they did, why did they treat her like this? But if they didn't know, their family is in such a mess, yet they didn't even do a paternity test.]

[Yes, yes, and a paternity test! If Gong Jinyuan really is their biological daughter, then what about the paternity test between her and Old Master Gong that ultimately brought her down from her position as chairman? Was it forged to promote their younger son, or... is there something else going on?]

In just a short while, countless thoughts had raced through Du Anrao's mind, his CPU was practically burning out, but he still couldn't come up with a solution.

Her first meeting with Gong Jinyuan was at a banquet hosted by Madam Li. At that time, Du Anrao had little merit and could only see limited things, relying on the plot descriptions in the library to understand the situation.

This meeting was different. Now, she could reconstruct other people's past with just her own eyes, know things that others didn't know, and easily see through the ups and downs of people's careers, the red thread of marriage, and the blood ties between them.

She had just seen it clearly: Gong Jinyuan's kinship was tied to that couple, and her parents were also those two.

This means that she was not the product of the illicit relationship between Madam Gong and Old Master Gong, but rather, like Gong Haoming, she was Madam Gong and her husband's biological child.

This can be considered a stunning reversal. You should know that the reason why Gong Jinyuan failed in the final battle for the Gong family heir was because Madam Gong presented a paternity test between herself and Old Master Gong in front of the company's board of directors, confirming that she and Old Master Gong were blood-related father and daughter, and that she was the product of an incestuous relationship forced upon her by her father-in-law.

Her existence was the biggest scandal for the Gong family and even the Gong clan. As a result, the company's board of directors overwhelmingly opposed her and ultimately chose to abandon her outstanding abilities, instead appointing her younger brother to take over the Gong clan and become the new generation of the head of the Gong clan.

Although he is said to be in power, he is actually just a puppet, or rather, a cheat code that the author pre-ordained for the female lead.

The purpose is to ensure that the female lead and male lead can keep up with each other when facing external challenges and climb the ladder step by step.

Now, suddenly learning the hidden truth, Du An was truly shocked. So, in the original story, was Gong Jinyuan's defeat due to betrayal by her closest relatives, or some other, more horrifying reason?
Thinking of this, Du Anrao was extremely anxious, and he finally understood the feelings of his family members who were just watching the drama unfold.

This kind of gossip, where you're only halfway through and there's still no conclusion, is enough to keep you up at night with anticipation!
After listening to her analysis, Xi Jingyue frowned slightly, vaguely recalling a rumor he had heard years ago about Old Master Gong, and seemed to be deep in thought.

Du Anrao was feeling down when someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder from behind.

Turning her head, she met someone's smiling eyes, and her brows relaxed as she asked with delight, "Mr. Xi, what are you doing here?"

"Zhaoyang asked me to have dinner with him tonight, but he stood me up. I found it strange and called him to ask what happened. Under my questioning, he finally told me that you and Yuesheng were in a car accident and were in the hospital. I was so scared that I immediately dropped what I was doing and rushed over. Are you two alright?"

Li Zhaoyang, who was watching the commotion from a short distance away, never expected that a pot would fall from the sky and land perfectly on his head.

As soon as Xi Jingyue finished speaking, he felt sharp glares flying from all directions, as if they wanted to stab him into a sieve.

Du Junyan patted him on the shoulder and said through gritted teeth, "So it was you who tipped him off."

Li Zhaoyang: "..." I shouldn't have rushed to ask him out. Cousin, you've really messed me up!

Du Anrao didn't notice the strange behavior on the other side and hurriedly waved his hand, saying, "It's nothing, it's nothing. We hit someone with our car in the underground parking lot. That person is in the hospital. We just came to see how badly they were injured and to talk about compensation."

"It's good that everyone is alright. So, are you getting ready to go back now?"

"Correct."

"Let me give you a ride. I'd also like to hear about your day."

Du Anrao didn't notice that his family had caught up with him again. When he heard Xi Jingyue say that he would take them home, he agreed without thinking.

Li Yuesheng's gaze swept between the two of them, vaguely sensing something was amiss but unable to quite put her finger on it. In the end, she decided to wait and see.

Seeing that they had seen enough of the excitement, the Li and Du families, to avoid arousing Du Anrao's suspicion, hurriedly turned back via the other side of the stairs.

At this moment, no one noticed that one person was missing from the crowd long before Xi Jingyue appeared.

Gong Jinyuan walked to the sink at the entrance of the hospital restroom, turned on the tap, scooped up a handful of water, and splashed it forcefully on her face.

The cold pool water slid down my cheeks and hair, dripping back into the sink, bringing a refreshing coolness that seemed to lessen the burning pain on my face.

Gong Jinyuan stared silently at her reflection in the mirror through her damp bangs, her eyes lifeless.

Just then, a handkerchief appeared in front of her.
