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

Chapter 4: A World Where Only I Am Wounded Has Appeared!
Compared to herself, Du Yuxi was more concerned about the contempt and disdain Ye Mengzhen showed when she mentioned Du Anrao. The repeated emphasis from Ye Mengzhen made Du Yuxi feel more and more guilty, as she felt that she was one of the culprits who caused Du Anrao's suffering.

Du Anrao also noticed this and couldn't help but feel moved.

"Even after being bullied like this, she still speaks up for me. My fourth sister is actually quite kind. But Ye Mengzhen, why does that name sound so familiar?"

Xi Jingyue had just stepped into the restaurant when a voice suddenly appeared in his mind, causing him to pause in his steps.

The middle-aged man who had led Xi Jingyue inside took a few steps forward and, realizing Xi Jingyue hadn't followed, asked anxiously, "Mr. Xi, is there something you need?"

"It's okay, let's go in."

The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, okay, Mr. Xi, please come this way. Our reserved private room is at the very back."

On the other side, Du Yuxi froze, suddenly realizing something, instinctively wanting to turn around to look but holding back.

Compared to her, Du's mother's feelings were much more complicated. She felt sorry for the daughter she had raised since childhood, was angry that Ye Mengzhen had bullied and even tried to instigate the two daughters to turn against each other, and was also gratified by Du Yuxi's protection of Du Anrao and Du Anrao's recognition of Du Yuxi.

Of course, upon hearing Du Anrao's last sentence, Du's mother immediately thought of what happened yesterday, and her ears perked up.

Fortunately, Du Anrao did not disappoint her expectations.

【found it! 】

Du's mother was startled, but Du Anrao's next words plunged her heart into despair.

Oh my god, my fourth sister is so pitiful!

Mother Du: "!!!"

Du Yuxi: "???"

After hearing several voices in succession, Xi Jingyue finally confirmed that the sentence he heard before entering the room was not a hallucination. He stopped again as he was about to step into the private room, narrowed his eyes and scanned the entire restaurant to confirm where the voices came from.

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man's heart skipped a beat again, and he called out uncertainly, "President Xi?"

"The private room is a bit stuffy, let's eat outside."

"This..." The man was a little confused. Wasn't this guy the one who hated noise the most? Why did he suddenly change his personality?
Xi Jingyue was too lazy to explain, and only asked in a deep voice, "Is it not allowed?"

"...Of course!" You're the boss, you're in charge!

While the two were talking, Du Anrao had already skimmed through the entire book.

Related to Ye Mengzhen is a novel about a popular, fake heiress who is actually a pampered heiress. The female lead is a fake heiress who was replaced by someone else and put into a wealthy family. Ye Mengzhen is one of the female lead's best friends in the early stages of the story.

But that's not the point. The point is that her fourth sister, Du Yuxi, is actually the infamous and vicious female supporting character in this story, the real heiress who was replaced by the other party and forced out of the wealthy family!

Du Anrao was stunned when he saw this. Wait a minute, wasn't he the one who was swapped with Du Yuxi? How come there's another Miss Li here?

Du's mother and Du Yuxi were also stunned. They didn't even care about Ye Mengzhen's increasingly angry curses and sarcasm, and only focused on listening to Du Anrao's heartfelt words.

Even Du Yuxi was beginning to wonder if these words that suddenly appeared in her head were just hallucinations caused by her overthinking and self-comfort these past few days.

"Oh...so that's how it is. It wasn't two children born in that hospital back then, but three." These words struck Du's mother and Du Yuxi like a bolt from the blue. Three! Three!

According to the book's setting, Miss Li's biological mother, Wang Xuehe, and her biological father were both human traffickers. During a transaction, their whereabouts were exposed, the father was arrested, and Wang Xuehe, pregnant with her child, escaped.

Coincidentally, that year a massive rainstorm in Y province triggered a mudslide, and Wang Xuehe, Du's mother who was in Y province on business, and Li's mother who were on vacation were all swept away.

Wang Xuehe gave birth to her child first, only to discover that her daughter had congenital heart disease.

The subsequent treatment costs for this disease are exorbitant, far beyond her means, not to mention the fact that she has to flee from place to place.

In her despair, she bumped into two other women who had also been brought to the hospital to give birth due to a sudden mudslide.

Du's mother was luckier; she only suffered a bit of fright and went into premature labor. Li's mother, on the other hand, was in a much more serious condition.

The torrential rain collided with a mudslide, causing many passengers to slip and cause a chain-reaction accident as they drove away. Li's father died on the spot while trying to protect his wife and children, and Li's mother was rushed to the hospital, but could not be saved after giving birth.

[To be honest, the fake heiress's real mother is quite shrewd. After secretly observing and discovering that both our families were well-off, she hatched a plan to switch children. She chose the Li family not only because the Li couple had passed away, meaning the child would inherit their estate, and because the Li family valued their orphan and the child would receive excellent care there, but more importantly, because her daughter shared the same blood type as my fourth sister—both were type B.]

Du's mother's expression changed slightly. "Isn't that right? Everyone in their family has blood type A, except for Yu Xi, who has blood type B."

If they hadn't discovered this by chance, they would never have known that their child had been switched at birth.

Du Yuxi was completely stunned. She was indeed blood type B, and when the Du family investigated Du Anrao's parents before, they mentioned that the two were very likely to be human traffickers with criminal records.

That's why she felt particularly guilty towards Du Anrao, feeling that the exchange was intentionally orchestrated by her parents, and that although she knew nothing about it, she was a beneficiary of this farce and should naturally bear the blame.

But now they are telling her that she may also be one of the victims, that the two people are not her biological parents, and that her biological parents had already passed away when she was born.

Du Yuxi was filled with mixed feelings, unsure whether to feel fortunate or sad.

At this point, the truth is quite clear.

Wang Xuehe feared that her daughter's blood type would clash with the other family's, and that this would be discovered during treatment, so she chose Du Yuxi, who had the same blood type.

Fearing that other things might give them away, they simply pulled off a complete reversal.

She swapped her own daughter with the Li family, and then swapped the Li family's biological daughter, Du Yuxi, with the Du family, while she herself left the hospital ahead of time with the Du family's real daughter, Du Anrao.

It was because of the natural disaster and the car accident at the time that the hospital was overcrowded and there was a severe shortage of medical staff, which gave the other party an opportunity to successfully switch the baby.

As the other party had predicted, Miss Li, who was treated as the orphan of her brother and suffered from congenital heart disease, was taken back to the Li family and properly cared for, while Du Yuxi grew up peacefully in the Du family.

Du Anrao was the only one who was taken back to his hometown by Wang Xuehe and left with his parents. He was constantly beaten and scolded by the two old people, and because of his fake parents, he was also criticized and gossiped about by the neighbors. He died of illness a few years later.

He was only mentioned briefly near the end, without even getting a proper name.

Upon seeing this, Du Anrao was speechless.

What a vicious book! A world where only I am wounded has appeared!
