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

Chapter 440 Misunderstandings? Not a chance!
Du Hexuan had been ready to fight Duan Jingxing when he saw him threatening Du Anrao, but when he saw this scene, his lips twitched slightly, and he suddenly felt that he was the real fool for arguing with a fool.

Du Anrao shared a similar sentiment, sighing helplessly as he looked at the child with pity.

[Having a father like that is really tough on the kid. If it weren't for how pitiful your son is, I really wouldn't bother with this mess.]

"Ahem, you said it yourself, the conflict between you and this child is not difficult to resolve."

Duan Jingxing abruptly stopped in his attempt to comfort his son. Even Duan Changqing, who had been eating quietly, looked up at her in surprise, wondering how she was going to resolve the conflict between father and son.

"You are the eldest child in your family, with three younger brothers and sisters. However, due to a natural disaster, your parents died, two of your younger brothers and sisters were also lost, and your youngest brother is missing and has not been found to this day. As a result, you have become all alone."

Duan Jingxing initially had a smile on his face, but his expression immediately darkened upon hearing this.

Duan Changqing also looked surprised. Duan Jingxing had never told him about these past events, so he, as the son, did not know that his father's early years were so tragic.

"After that, you were forced to wander in order to survive. You worked as a migrant worker, waited tables, fell down and wandered around. You suffered a lot. It was during this process that you met your wife."

When his wife was mentioned, Duan Jingxing's face softened with tenderness and longing. Duan Changqing also perked up his ears, wanting to hear more about his mother from Du Anrao.

"You two are a couple who have been through thick and thin together, and your relationship has always been very good. She has also witnessed all your experiences from being down on your luck to becoming successful. You have walked hand in hand for six years and finally ushered in a turning point in your career. With one opportunity, you were able to start from scratch and take off. After making money, the first thing you thought of was to use it to marry the wife who had followed you all over the years and silently supported you from behind."

It sounds like a beautiful love story. The couple supported each other through thick and thin, and after they became successful, the husband never forgot his wife who had shared his hardships. On the contrary, he cherished her more and more for her years of dedication and wanted to give her everything.

However, many things in this world often suffer a fatal blow after the initial beauty, and the experience of Duan Jingxing and his wife was no exception.

“You two were very happy after your marriage, and soon your wife became pregnant with your child, which means…” Du Anrao glanced meaningfully at Duan Changqing.

"At the same time, your career is also booming and developing very smoothly. But because it is too smooth, it inevitably attracts the envy of some competitors. These people can't beat you on the right path, so they think of using crooked means to defeat you. They used some despicable means to murder you and your wife. In the critical moment, one of your brothers protected you."

Upon hearing this, Duan Jingxing unconsciously clenched his hands at his sides, and his face became more gloomy than ever before.

This was the first time Duan Changqing had seen him like this, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried. He took the initiative to hold the other's hand.

Duan Jingxing paused, his face showing surprise and a hint of joy, but he didn't chatter with his son as happily as before. Instead, he silently turned to look at Du Anrao.

"Your good brother unfortunately died because of this, and your wife was also frightened and went into premature labor, almost losing both of them. Although she was eventually saved, she was left with health problems and passed away a few years later."

Duan Jingxing closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened them again, he had regained his composure and clapped his hands, saying, "Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. You're absolutely right. Everything you've said from the beginning until now is true."

Du Anrao smiled faintly, calmly accepting Duan Jingxing's affirmation, his heart already pounding with excitement. [Here comes the important part!]

Du Hexuan sat up straight without making a sound, looking much more energetic.

"Out of guilt towards your brother, after his death you asked someone to go to his hometown to bring his parents over and take care of them. But you unexpectedly learned that shortly after your brother's death, a major earthquake struck his hometown. His parents died in the earthquake, but his wife survived and her whereabouts are unknown."

"This..." Chen Yefang and the others gasped, "Isn't this just too tragic?"

Du Anrao thought to himself, "This is already considered good; there's more to come."

Duan Jingxing was surprised that Du Anrao even knew this, but he still nodded truthfully: "Indeed, as you said, we arrived too late and were unable to save his parents or find them sooner. I am sorry to him."

"But a few years later, you found them, or rather, they went to great lengths to find you."

Duan Jingxing looked surprised. If he remembered correctly, his encounter with the mother and daughter was purely accidental, but judging from what this Miss Du said, it turned out that they had gone to great lengths to arrange it and come prepared. This...

When Duan Changqing heard Du Anrao mention these past events, he almost thought that he had really misunderstood his father all these years. Just as his heart was about to waver, he heard the second half of the story.

"..." Misunderstandings? No way! This guy is just a blind and stupid idiot!
"You heard me right, your meeting was a huge scam from beginning to end. Knowing that my brother died to save you and your wife, and knowing that you wanted to find my brother's family to repay the life-saving debt, I took the initiative to join your company and deliberately created the chance encounter to reveal my identity in order to get closer to you."

Duan Jingxing frowned, still unable to accept the truth or understand the purpose of their actions.

"But why? They are Ah Gang's family, there's no need for all this scheming. Why don't they just come to me and identify themselves? Or is it that they don't believe I'm a family member who genuinely wants to repay Ah Gang?"

Du Anrao was also annoyed by Duan Jingxing's self-manipulation and brainwashed him, and rolled his eyes speechlessly.

[I'm saying, can you be a decent boss and father? With your lack of crisis awareness, the fact that the company has been able to stay afloat for so long is purely because your ancestors burned incense and are protecting you from the afterlife, right?]
Even if it doesn't go bankrupt, it's almost gone. You didn't even see through such a simplistic scheme; you deserve to be swindled out of your money and your virtue by that mother and daughter, and even have your kidneys cut off. It's just a pity your precious son has to suffer with a father like you, burdened with huge debts at such a young age. It's like a complete disaster where you squandered a winning hand!

Du Hexuan: "..." Is it really that explosive?
"What else could it be? Naturally, it's because they have a guilty conscience. It's much more natural and convincing for them to come to your door on their own initiative than for you to personally bump into them. This makes it less likely for people to suspect their identities as mother and daughter."

Duan Jingxing's heart skipped a beat: "Is there something wrong with their identities?"

"To be precise, the problem lies with her daughter's identity. Let me ask you one question: before this, had your brother ever mentioned his child?"

Thank you Liwen for the 100-point reward!
