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

Chapter 385 Let's not talk about our dark history!

"What are you two doing here? Don't you have school today?"

Du Anrao stood at the top of the stairs, looking at Du Xiuyuan and Du Yunni, who had appeared in his living room, with a puzzled expression.

The two girls' eyes lit up when they saw Du Anrao, and they called out enthusiastically and excitedly, "Sister An'an!"

Du Anrao was taken aback when she heard their shout. She couldn't help but recall the first time they met. The two of them stormed into her room, baring their teeth and brandishing their claws, and making threats at her, telling her to stop causing trouble and bullying their Sister Yuxi, or else she would be in trouble. Their attitude was completely different from how they were now.

The two, stiff with guilt, were speechless. "..." It's best not to bring up those embarrassing past events, thank you!
Du Yuxi saw the awkwardness between the two and almost burst out laughing.

Fortunately, the sibling bond they had shared over the years pulled her through in the end, allowing her to explain on their behalf: "Something happened at their school, and they can't attend classes for the time being. So, my cousin arranged for them to stay at our house to avoid trouble for a while."

Du Anrao looked bewildered: "Huh? What happened that prevented them from attending classes? Is it that serious?"

[And why did they have to come to our house to avoid trouble? Couldn't they have stayed at their own home?]

Du Yunni looked embarrassed, but still told the truth: "It's about my dad, no, it's about that Mr. Cui."

Du Anrao sat up straight on the sofa with a jerk, vividly illustrating the sentiment, "If you're going to talk about this, I'm not sleepy anymore."

"It's related to him? What happened? Didn't he already divorce his aunt?"

It turned out that on the day Du Lianshuang's family accidentally learned about Cui Jueyan's marriage fraud and his plan to deprive his family of their inheritance, they promptly collected evidence of Cui Jueyan's bigamy and asset transfer with the help of Du's father and others. Before Cui Jueyan, his greedy and snobbish parents, and his "original wife" who was actually his lover but was actually his sister, could react, they directly filed for divorce, pursued Cui Jueyan's responsibility, and forcibly recovered the marital property that Cui Jueyan had transferred during their marriage.

As expected, faced with overwhelming evidence, Cui Jueyan had absolutely no room for rebuttal.

The secret buried for many years was suddenly exposed, catching the Cui family off guard. Cui Jueyan's first reaction was to beg Du Lianshuang for forgiveness.

In his view, women are soft-hearted. The two of them had a relationship of more than ten years and had a son and a daughter. Although the exposure of his affair with his "sister" would make Du Lianshuang angry and do some irrational and extreme things, as long as he humbled himself and apologized to her, he would definitely be able to make her recall the happy life they had shared for more than ten years, give up pursuing his responsibility, and continue living like before.

Cui Jueyan's idea reveals that no matter how well he disguises himself on the surface, he still harbors a condescending male chauvinism towards women. He believes that no matter what mistakes he makes, as long as he apologizes, he can easily control the mother of his two children.

However, this time, he truly underestimated Du Lianshuang's determination to completely sever ties with him, send him to prison, and make his entire family beggars.

Cui Jueyan rushed back to his home with Du Lianshuang and their two children, looking disheveled, only to find that Du Lianshuang had already moved out with the two children to avoid him coming to bother her. Even the house they originally lived in had been sold off in a hurry and had already become someone else's home.

Unable to find the mother and her two children, and unable to reach Du Lianshuang by phone, Cui Jueyan reluctantly returned to his parents' home.

Little did they know, this was just the beginning of their family's misfortunes. Because Du Lianshuang sued him for transferring marital assets, all of Cui Jueyan's assets were frozen. As for work matters, that was even easier to handle.

Although Du Lianshuang's father agreed to his daughter marrying into the family, he was not stupid. He didn't give the huge family business he had worked hard to build up to his own daughter, but instead gave it to an outsider with no blood relation.

Cui Jueyan has been working in the company left by Du Lianshuang's father for years. Despite his status as the Du family's son-in-law, he seems to have considerable power. However, in reality, Du Lianshuang controls all the things that can influence the company's decisions, such as the shareholding seal. He is just a worker who is there to put on a show.

After ruthlessly kicking Cui Jueyan out, Du Lianshuang used her position as the company's largest shareholder and top decision-maker to dismiss him directly. She also quickly responded by using the connections left by her father and the face-saving favors among her family's elders to blacklist Cui Jueyan across the entire industry.

Cui Jueyan's assets were frozen, he lost his job and was blacklisted, leaving him with no income. He was also ordered by the court to recover the marital property he had transferred over the years to support his parents and his mistress and illegitimate child. The house he bought for his parents and the house where Cui Dongmei and Cui Chengye lived was also among the properties to be recovered.

To avoid becoming homeless, the Cui family simply gave up and became deadbeats, refusing to move out of the house. They figured they were just scraps to live, used to the place, and weren't afraid of trouble. If they didn't move out voluntarily, who was going to come and carry them out?

Du Lianshuang had anticipated their family's intentions and used her connections to go through some special channels to sell the house at a low price to a group of local debt collectors.

The other party has dealt with many oddballs in their daily lives and knows best how to deal with this kind of scoundrel.

So, the Cui family, who were determined not to leave, happily received a family-wide hospital visit that very day. The whole family took a day trip to the hospital, and as soon as they were discharged, they moved out of the house without stopping. They were so sensible and tactful. It can be seen that only evil people can be cured.

After this ordeal, Cui Jueyan realized that his relationship with Cui Dongmei had truly crossed Du Lianshuang's bottom line, completely turning them from lovers into enemies. At this point, all of Du Lianshuang's feigned accommodations had turned into hatred, and he was filled with the extreme idea that if he couldn't have a good time, he wouldn't let Du Lianshuang have a good time either.

However, before he could put his plan into action, he was imprisoned and lost his chance to use it.

When Du Anrao learned that the "phoenix man" had indeed been sent to jail by his aunt, he couldn't help but want to applaud.

It's normal for people to have selfish desires; everyone has selfish desires. But people shouldn't be too greedy, wanting everything at once, like eating what's in one bowl while eyeing what's in another.

Her cousin is beautiful and rich, and she's not unable to get married, so why does she insist on hanging herself on this crooked tree? Not only will she lose her body and heart, but she'll also lose her life. What's the point?

It is clear that Cui Jueyan and his family deserve their current fate.

Now that Cui Jueyan has already been arrested, why are the two children still afraid to go to school because of him?

Du Anrao thought this way, and that's what he asked.

Du Yunni, as the older sister, felt awkward for a moment, then explained truthfully, "Strictly speaking, it's not because of him, but because of his two old folks..."
