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

Chapter 401 Dare to Swear?
"puff……"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhaoyang couldn't hold back any longer and spat out his tea, then coughed violently.

Du Yuxi and her brother gave him a disdainful look and scolded him for not having enough self-control. How could he interrupt at a time like this? If he accidentally broke An'an's train of thought, they wouldn't be able to finish their gossip!

Fortunately, Du Anrao probably thought Li Zhaoyang was a little slow to react and had only just recovered from the shock of Xi Wuyong finding a male mistress. He only glanced at him indifferently before continuing with the gossip.

Li Zhaoyang: "..." For a moment, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

[In truth, you can't really blame Mr. Xi's cousin for being blind.]

Ultimately, this cousin Xi's situation is a bit different from Qiu Jichen's. Qiu Jichen never met his online dating partner in person, but he did, and more than once. The fact that this cross-dressing man could fool him, a playboy who had seen it all, proves that his appearance was absolutely flawless.

Not only was she flawless, but she also captivated Xi Wuyong, who spent over half a month playing the innocent love game with him, showering him with flowers, bags, cars, and jewelry, all in an effort to take their relationship to the next level.

But the streamer was also very clear-headed. She knew that she could fool people by pretending to be a young lady, but once the truth was exposed, not only would she lose what she had gained, but she might also get herself into trouble.

Therefore, the two spent nearly half a month together, and although the man was fishing, he didn't let Xi Wuyong gain any advantage.

As time went on, Xi Wuyong became anxious and then came up with a foolish idea.

That's right, this guy's acting like a domineering CEO, trying to take advantage of the streamer.

Du Yuxi and the others: "!!!"

[Unexpectedly, the seemingly gentle streamer turned out to be quite formidable. After all that commotion, the instigator ended up suffering the consequences. Now, barring any unforeseen circumstances, that streamer should be on a plane abroad with the money she swindled from that person, planning to lay low for ten or eight years before returning. On the other hand, Brother Xi has truly lost everything—alas!]

The crowd, who were originally furious and gritted their teeth at Xi Wuyong's despicable methods, were speechless. What could they say? It was a case of one willing to hit and the other willing to be hit; they brought it on themselves!
No wonder An'an said he could easily get himself into trouble; so that's how he gets into trouble, tsk tsk tsk...

[After all these years of playing the villain, Brother Xi finally met his match with this young man. It seems that doing too much evil will eventually lead to trouble. One of you was after money, the other after sex; in the end, you both suffered losses. It's karma, karma indeed.]

Du Anrao quietly hid behind his older brother, his eyes shining as he stared at the chaos not far away, clearly enjoying the spectacle.

The others: "..." Should you stop looking so gloating? Otherwise you might really get beaten up!
Du Hexuan was also stunned by his younger sister's bombshell revelations. After he came to his senses, he had only one thought: who exactly corrupted their pure, innocent, and kind little princess?

In situations like this, when indecisive, it's time to embrace the art of shifting blame. The heartbroken second brother decisively turned and glared angrily at Xi Jingyue, clearly pinning the blame squarely on him. Xi Jingyue: "..." Sometimes he really felt wronged.

While Du Yuxi and the others were enjoying the gossip, the commotion on Xi Wuyong's side also subsided a bit.

The aunt, her eyes brimming with tears, watched as her pitiful daughter-in-law sat on a bench, gently comforting her with words of heartache and helplessness, her voice tinged with guilt and sorrow.

The two grown men, under the watchful eyes of their relatives, couldn't find a way to comfort him, and in the end, they could only vent their anger on Du Anrao.

"You bitch..." Xi Wuyong came over aggressively, raising his hand to hit someone, but was stopped by Xi Jingyue.

"What is my cousin doing? He's brazenly making a move in front of the ancestral tablets. Isn't he afraid of offending our ancestors?"

Xi Wuyong's face, contorted with rage, stiffened slightly. Before he could say anything, his eldest uncle had already launched his attack.

"She dared to use foul language to slander your cousin in front of the ancestral tablets. Can't your cousin fight back? Or is it that just because she is someone you brought with you, a relative of your younger brother and sister-in-law, you want to protect and favor her, allowing her to openly humiliate our family in front of the ancestors and with so many relatives present?"

That's a pretty harsh accusation. It practically labels Du Anrao's words as a deliberate attempt by Xi Jingyue's family to humiliate and embarrass Xi Wuyong, and as a fabrication and slander.

Madam Xi wasn't going to tolerate him. She immediately sneered, "Look at what you're saying. If I remember correctly, it was your child who started this whole thing. My child came to visit relatives and just wanted to join in the fun. He should have sat quietly and watched us chat and drink tea. There was no need for him to bring up live stream videos or internet celebrity masters right away, implying that he was young, inexperienced, and had no real skills."

Madam Xi didn't have a good impression of her eldest uncle's son. She often saw him boasting and acting like the older brother, trying to outdo her son.

After hearing what Du Anrao said, my impression of him has dropped even further, and I'm being even more forceful in protecting him now.

"What's wrong? Now that the girl is showing her true skills, you can't accept it anymore? According to what you just said, 'the one who initiates the trouble is the one who's at fault,' there's no need to go to her first. This girl is just retaliating. Is it something to be proud of to get angry when you're not as skilled as someone else?"

"You..." The eldest uncle was speechless for a moment after being choked by Madam Xi, but he quickly calmed down and suppressed his anger, saying, "Do you think you can just say whatever she says? Making baseless accusations without any evidence is just spreading rumors. If you insist on siding with this outsider today, our family is not to be trifled with. Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone a person."

Upon hearing his uncle's words, Mr. Xi's face darkened, and he said sarcastically, "Brother, are you threatening us? I've always been used to a life of ease, and I'm not easily intimidated. You, as his father, know your son's character better than anyone. He keeps accusing our child of slandering and defaming him. Do you dare make him swear in front of all the ancestral tablets that everything An'an just said is false, or else may his intestines rupture, his mouth sore, his head covered in scabs, his feet oozing pus, be struck by lightning, lie dead in the street, and be unable to have sex for the rest of his life?"

With so many ancestors watching, the oath must be very effective. As long as Wuyong is willing to take this oath, we elders guarantee that we will never interfere in the affairs of these young people again, and we will certainly not, as you said, show favoritism towards those who slander you. What do you say, elder brother? Wuyong, do you dare?"
