Mind reading saves the whole family; I'm firmly in the role of a charlatan.
Chapter 380 That's not necessarily true!
Chapter 380 That's not necessarily true!
Someone who was unjustly implicated simply because of a surname felt that if there really was a Dou E who was wrongfully killed, her surname would definitely be Xi, not Dou.
The plot mentions that this Miss Xi comes from an extremely wealthy family, with countless members—a truly prominent family that has been rich for generations, even centuries. Hmm, this description sounds a bit like Mr. Xi, and this Miss Xi also happens to share the same surname. Could she… be a relative of Mr. Xi?
After Du Anrao said this, everyone's gazes toward Xi Jingyue became even more hostile.
Xi Jingyue: "..." It was quite sudden!
Unfortunately, perhaps to maintain the mystery surrounding Miss Xi, or perhaps to prevent her frequent appearances from overshadowing Li Qianxi, the author never reveals her full name, only mentioning her a few times through the words of the male and female protagonists and the Li siblings.
However, because of her prominent family background and outstanding connections, her presence in this part of the story was particularly noticeable, making it difficult for Du Anrao to ignore her.
Now that the misunderstanding between the Li family and their savior has been resolved, and their ties with Li Qianxi have been completely severed, the Li family should theoretically not clash with the Li family again because of Li Qianxi, and this Miss Xi shouldn't lay a hand on the Li family again, right?
Upon hearing Du Anrao's words, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
Only Xi Jingyue, who had been the focus of everyone's attention not long ago, narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered to himself: That's not necessarily true!
After seeing the Li family off, Du Anrao and the others went upstairs to continue packing their things, while Xi Jingyue and the Li family found another room and gathered together to talk about the Miss Xi that Du Anrao had just mentioned.
"Did you hear what An'an just said about that Miss Xi?"
Xi Jingyue was not surprised by Li's father's question. Since Li Zhaoyang knew that he could also hear Du Anrao's thoughts, he would definitely tell the elders in the family about this out of caution and for the future. It was not surprising that the Li family knew about this. The only question was whether the Du family knew about it as well.
However, judging from their reactions just now, they probably don't know yet.
"I heard."
Mr. Li's expression darkened slightly, and his eyes narrowed dangerously: "So, what are your thoughts on that Miss Xi the Second?"
“An’an’s intuition has always been very accurate. Many things that seem outlandish to outsiders, or that she just says offhand, often end up becoming reality.”
"what do you mean……"
"This Miss Xi might actually be a relative of my Xi family."
The Li family members: "..."
Xi Jingyue wasn't joking. His family lineage had been a single-lineage lineage for three generations. From his grandfather to his generation, there had only been one child, and they were all boys.
His second and third grandfathers were a different story. They frequently changed wives, and each one was younger than the last, resulting in a constant stream of children. His second grandfather alone had three sons and six daughters. If he hadn't been so indulgent in his youth, and if the consequences hadn't surfaced in his old age, causing his physical condition to fail to satisfy his desires, he probably would have continued to have children.
His uncles and cousins also inherited his great-uncle's hobby. Although they did not change wives as often as his great-uncle, the number of their illegitimate children far exceeded that of his great-uncle.
Xi Jingyue is an only child, so from his family lineage, there is naturally no possibility of him having a so-called second young lady.
However, if we consider the family branches, besides his eldest cousin from his second grandfather's family, the second person born in his generation was his cousin Xi Yanjia from his second uncle's family. She was also one of the main forces who questioned and pressured him on New Year's Eve because of the two plaques he bought from Du Anrao, using the family and company as a pretext.
"My second uncle seems to be a man who doesn't compete with the world, but in reality he is quite scheming. On the surface, he is the most detached among my uncles and rarely interferes in the company's affairs. In fact, he has been secretly plotting and stirring up trouble behind the actions of those radical members in the family who have greed and scheming written all over their faces. My second cousin, as his daughter, has become increasingly undisguised in her hostility towards me in the past two years."
"You suspect that she attacked our family because of you?" Li's mother, who is Xi Jingyue's aunt, is a young lady from a prominent family and is well aware of the intrigues among relatives. After hearing Xi Jingyue's explanation, she already had a solid guess in her mind.
"Probably."
Li's mother and his mother were sisters, born of the same mother, and the two families were quite close. Xi Jingyue did not think that Xi Yanjia would be unaware of this. Since she knew but still chose to target the Li family, she must have some ulterior motive.
He didn't believe that his second uncle, with his stubborn nature of not acting until he saw a clear benefit, could really raise someone who would go to great lengths for his friends.
The Li family clearly shared his thoughts. It's not uncommon to discuss personal relationships in business, but to rely solely on personal relationships would be too fake.
Li Yuesheng frowned slightly: "If that's really the case, regardless of whether Li Qianxi is there or not, I'm afraid this Miss Xi will not let our family off the hook."
"What's there to be afraid of?" Li Zhaoyang said dismissively.
“The Xi family is indeed a large family, and our family can’t compare to them. But she is just a branch family after all. This Miss Xi can only fool those who don’t know the inside story. Her resources and connections are no match for Jingyue. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have waited until our family was about to collapse before coming out to kick us when we were down, and she didn’t even dare to show her face.”
“Zhaoyang is right. According to An’an, the reason our Li family ended up like that was the result of a multi-faceted power struggle. Now you and your brother are both fine, your sister-in-law and the children have been brought back, and the most ungrateful wretch has been kicked out of the house and no longer has the opportunity to harm our family. If she really dares to lay a hand on our family, we may not necessarily be at a disadvantage.”
Ultimately, what this family values most is family and kinship. Li Qianxi had lived with them for over a decade, knew their temperament, and knew how to exploit their weaknesses. This allowed them to be defeated one by one without warning, ultimately resulting in their complete defeat and a miserable end.
They are all doing well now. If Xi Yanjia dares to lay a hand on their family, she should be prepared to be seriously injured.
The father and son's words calmed Li Yuesheng and her son down a bit, but Xi Jingyue's expression did not soften because of their words; it remained very serious.
Li's mother noticed his unusual behavior and asked with some concern, "Jingyue, what's wrong? You look so pale."
"I was just wondering, where was I when you guys had that accident?"
The Li family members were stunned. Before they could think further, they heard Xi Jingyue say in a hoarse voice, "If something happens to you, I have no reason to stand by and watch, unless... I am in trouble myself at that time, or... I am no longer here."
