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

Chapter 470 The Unlucky White Moonlight

After confirming Chi Yanqing's address, the group drove straight to her home.

Xie Jingyao was driving, Lu Chengzhang was in the passenger seat, and the three girls squeezed into the back seat.

As soon as she got into the car and settled in, Du Yuxi couldn't help but ask curiously, "An'an, how did you know she was going to get into trouble?"

“I just finished eating and texted Mr. Xi to ask him for a recent photo of Xi Yanjia.”

"Mr. Xi? Is he your brother-in-law from the Li family?" Upon hearing this, Lu Jiarou immediately guessed Mr. Xi's identity.

"Yes, he's my cousin's aunt's son, so he's his cousin."

It turned out that when Du Anrao had lunch with Lu Jiarou just now, he accidentally learned that the target of this mission was named Lu Chengzhang, the number one simp of the female protagonist in the original story. Du Anrao immediately guessed who the younger brother's girlfriend who gave Sister Lu so much trouble was.

Having already gained a deep understanding of the subtle writing techniques used in these so-called original works, Du Anrao naturally couldn't truly believe that Xi Yanjia was Lu Chengzhang's long-lost white moonlight. Therefore, she made a decisive move and sent a message to Xi Jingyue, asking him to help find a recent photo of Xi Yanjia so that she could see from it the true relationship between Xi Yanjia and this young master Lu.

Upon meeting Lu Chengzhang just now, Du Anrao could tell that his love star had already moved. However, the main star was hidden behind the secondary star, and its light was completely obscured, appearing weak. This indicated that Lu Chengzhang's true love had appeared, but its brilliance was overshadowed by the sudden appearance of bad love, making it appear dim.

Considering Lu Chengzhang's situation, the most likely explanation is that Xi Yanjia impersonated the person in question, stealing their spotlight and ruining their chances of finding a true love. It's a classic case of a cuckoo taking over someone else's place, a petty person who has gained power.

However, Xi Yanjia was in charge of this matter, and there wasn't much information to be gleaned from Lu Chengzhang.

Fortunately, Xi Jingyue was quite helpful; he sent the photo promptly. Judging from this photo…

"Xi Yanjia and Chi Yanqing should be university classmates. Although they are classmates, Chi Yanqing has excellent grades and is a true academic star. Xi Yanjia, on the other hand, was admitted to that university through a special exception because her family donated money."

Logically speaking, the two were completely incompatible in terms of family background, academic performance, and social circles. They were not studying the same major, one lived on campus and the other was a day student, so they had no chance of having any interaction.

But many things in this world can be quite unpredictable. The reason why two people from completely different backgrounds came together, or rather, why Xi Yanjia noticed Chi Yanqing, was because a senior in the same major whom she had a crush on at the time had a crush on Chi Yanqing.

This isn't exactly unusual. Chi Yanqing has good grades, a gentle personality, and a face that, while not particularly stunning at first glance, is very pleasing to the eye, making her naturally likable.

But for Xi Yanjia, who had always had a smooth life, this was something she couldn't understand and couldn't tolerate.

Therefore, she paid attention to it unilaterally and found out some things about Chi Yanqing.

One of them is the fact that Lu Chengzhang and she formed a romantic relationship in the game.

It's worth mentioning that on one occasion, two computer courses for two different majors were held consecutively, and they were in the same computer lab.

Xi Yanjia paid special attention to Chi Yanqing at the time. After entering the classroom, she sat down at the computer that Chi Yanqing had used in the previous class almost immediately. Coincidentally, Chi Yanqing had logged into her game account on that computer and forgot to log out.

And so, quite by chance, Xi Yanjia stumbled upon the game chat logs that should have been known only to the two of them, and noted their connection. Years later, she unexpectedly learned that the person Chi Yanqing was dating in the game was none other than her recent target – Lu Chengzhang, the young master of the Lu family.

Du Anrao: "..."

[No way, so many coincidences! It's practically a carefully orchestrated plot by the author, a "golden potion" fed to the female lead. What did this young couple's romance do to deserve this? How did it become part of your "chosen ones" play? It's just too much!]

Du Yuxi nodded in deep agreement. Indeed, this arrangement was so deliberate, it was like a big red gift package placed in front of people, tempting them to go forward and pick the peach directly.

However, she also had a question.

"Miss Chi, do you know that Mr. Lu is the person she met in the game with whom she had a romantic relationship?"

Upon hearing Du Yuxi's words, Lu Chengzhang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, immediately turned his head to look at her, his expression slightly uneasy.

"At first, she might not have known, but recently, their affair has become a hot topic. It would be hard for a girl not to know, right?"

Lu Chengzhang's expression stiffened slightly, and Lu Jiarou also gave him a disappointed look.

Du Yuxi frowned slightly and asked the question that Lu Chengzhang cared about most at that moment.

"Why didn't she tell Mr. Lu that someone had impersonated her?"

"How could she tell him? Should she just run up to the lovey-dovey couple and tell the guy that she is the white moonlight he has been searching for for many years? Even if the guy doesn't believe her, other people would probably think she has ulterior motives and is intentionally interfering in the couple's relationship, right?"

Of course, it's also possible that seeing Lu Chengzhang and Xi Yanjia's family backgrounds were similar, making them a good match, caused her to feel inferior, or that due to some unexpected event, she couldn't log into her game account and couldn't provide concrete evidence to prove her innocence—these are deeper reasons.

The young couple, who should have recognized each other, missed their best opportunity to do so due to a series of unfortunate events, allowing Xi Yanjia, the imposter, to successfully take over and ultimately destroy their home.

After hearing Du Anrao's explanation, Lu Jiarou became increasingly angry, and the look she gave her younger brother was as if she wanted to clean house.

"Is that thing on your neck just for show? The person is right under your nose, and you still manage to pull off this sham, this substitution of one thing for another. What am I supposed to say to you?"

After being lectured by his sister, Lu Chengzhang didn't dare to say a word. He was clearly ashamed of his previous carelessness and stupidity.

Du Anrao glanced at the two of them, then recalled the original plot's description of the siblings, lost in thought.

As the older sister of Lu Chengzhang, a cannon fodder male supporting character, Lu Jiarou actually plays the role of an evil mother-in-law in the plot. She even created the classic scene of "I'll give you five million, leave my son, oh no, leave my brother" in the later part of the plot.

And Miss Chi, whose white moonlight identity was stolen by Xi Yanjia, accidentally got the script of a villainous female supporting character. Her name was not deliberately mentioned in the original plot. It was only mentioned that Lu Jiarou had a good feeling about a girl in her brother's department.

Even when her younger brother repeatedly refused to change his ways and insisted on protecting Xi Yanjia, going against his older sister and making her angry, she sighed in front of the girl, "If only my brat had his eye on you."
