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

Chapter 62 The Ultimate Prophet

The woman who caught Du Yuxi was a wealthy lady in a black evening gown. Her light makeup slightly concealed some of the blemishes on her face, but it could not completely erase the traces of time.

She gripped Du Yuxi's hand tightly, her eyes red and brimming with tears, yet she couldn't bear to blink, as if she wanted to etch the image of the person before her into her very being.

Du Yuxi didn't dare to move rashly at this moment. The person who could call out her mother's name must know her mother. However, she still didn't know the identity of the person in front of her.

Fortunately, someone came to rescue her soon after.

"Sister Wanyin." Madam Li had already instructed the people greeting guests at the door to keep an eye on the Su family's movements. After learning that Madam Su had arrived, she rushed over immediately, but unexpectedly, she met Du Yuxi first.

As soon as Madam Li finished speaking, Du Anrao immediately confirmed the identity of the person in front of him.

[Case solved! This person is Zhang Wanyin, the fourth sister's aunt. In the original story, she is the only one who was not deceived by Li Qianxi, and firmly believed from beginning to end that Li Qianxi was not Su Yingrong's daughter. She was the ultimate prophet who carried through the idea that Li Qianxi was Li Qianxi, Su Yingrong was Su Yingrong, and Li Qianxi was not worthy of being compared with Su Yingrong.]

Aunt? Du Yuxi subconsciously clenched her hands, her eyes involuntarily drifting towards the other person's face.

When Madam Su saw Madam Li coming over, instead of letting go of Du Yuxi's hand, she gripped it even tighter.

"Zhanyan, Zhanyan, come quick! Yingrong, Yingrong is back!"

Li Zhanyan subconsciously glanced at Du Yuxi and saw that although she was surprised, she was neither frightened nor angry, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister Wanyin, calm down, don't scare the child."

"A child?" Zhang Wanyin was taken aback, only then noticing that Du Yuxi was indeed younger than Su Yingrong in their memory, not to mention that almost twenty years had passed...

However, the person she cared about remained at the peak of her beauty, which is why seeing Du Yuxi reminded her of Su Yingrong from back then.

Zhang Wanyin struggled to suppress her excitement and reluctantly let go of Du Yuxi's hand.

Du Anrao arrived at Du Yuxi's side at that moment: "Fourth Sister, are you alright?"

"fine."

"Are you hurt?" Li Zhanyan asked with concern, and after confirming that she had not been hurt by Zhang Wanyin, she explained on her behalf, "I'm sorry, Sister Wanyin didn't mean it. She just thought she was seeing an old friend when she saw you, and she got excited and lost her composure. I apologize on her behalf, and I hope Miss Du won't mind."

"An old acquaintance?" Du Yuxi raised an eyebrow, feigning ignorance. "Is it the old acquaintance you said looked familiar, like you'd seen me somewhere before?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Li Zhanyan had intended to tell Du Yuxi about Su Yingrong in order to subtly help her accept them as relatives and family members. Seeing that she took the initiative to ask about it was an excellent opportunity.

"The person I'm talking about is Su Yingrong, my sister-in-law, and her husband's younger sister. Eighteen years ago, my brother and his wife, who was already quite pregnant, went on a trip to Y Province. Unexpectedly, they encountered a once-in-a-century mudslide." Li Zhanyan recalled the tragedy, her eyes slightly red: "To avoid the mudslide, my brother and his wife drove away, but they were involved in a car accident on the way. My brother died on the spot, and his wife was barely alive. She passed away shortly after giving birth."

Zhang Wanyin had calmed down by this time, and looked at Du Yuxi with a complicated expression: "Whose child are you? How come I've never seen you before?"

"My name is Du Yuxi. I used to live in S City, but I came to J City with my family recently because of some business."

“S City?” Zhang Wanyin looked regretful. It was far from them, and even further from Y Province. Could it be that she was overthinking things?
Upon closer reflection, the girl in front of them was only twenty years old. She might have been born when Yingrong passed away. Could it be that the deceased had been reincarnated and returned to their side?

Du Yuxi and the others were unaware of her wild imagination, but Du Anrao vaguely understood her point. After all, this was the only sensible person in the original work, so she decided to give this sensible person a hint.

"Are you talking about the massive mudslide in Y Province more than ten years ago? What a coincidence! My parents were also in Y Province at the time and encountered that mudslide. They were so frightened that they were forced to have a premature birth. If it weren't for the natural disaster and man-made calamities at the time, and the fact that the hospital was too busy with its own patients, my fourth sister and I wouldn't have been switched at birth."

"What?!" Zhang Wanyin's expression changed slightly, and her gaze towards Du Yuxi completely transformed. "You, you guys..."

Du Yuxi could easily see through Du Anrao's little scheme. She sighed and said, "We were indeed born at XX Hospital in Y Province. At that time, Y was hit by a massive mudslide, and many people were injured and hospitalized. My mother and An'an's mother were among them..."

Du Yuxi paused here, and to avoid arousing suspicion, she gritted her teeth and said, "My mother was a fugitive human trafficker. In order to give me a better life, she switched me with An'an, who was also born in the hospital. My adoptive parents only recently found out the truth..."

Before Du Yuxi could finish speaking, Du Anrao was already internally refuting her.

[No, no! Ahhhhh, Fourth Sister, don't be sad! Your mother really isn't that child trafficker Wang Xuehe! Auntie, Auntie, come on, we might just find out the truth this time!]

"Pfft..." If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, Du Yuxi would have burst out laughing. How could their little one be so cute?

Fortunately, Auntie did not disappoint Du Anrao's high expectations. When she learned that the two had been switched by human traffickers and that Du Yuxi even believed that she was the trafficker's biological daughter, Zhang Wanyin was furious when she saw the face that looked almost exactly like Su Yingrong's.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You're definitely not the daughter of a human trafficker, you are, you are..."

For those who have lost loved ones, time may not heal all wounds. Seemingly healed wounds may still be filled with pus and blood, and any recurring regrets can reopen them, leaving them bleeding profusely.

Zhang Wanyin had been unable to control her emotions since seeing Du Yuxi. Now, she suddenly realized that she might have lost the child that Su Yingrong had risked her life to give birth to. She burst into tears and sobbed uncontrollably, feeling so guilty that she couldn't even call out the deceased's name.

The guests for the banquet had mostly arrived, and with the host, Li Zhanyan, right in front of them, coupled with Du Yuxi's shocking remarks about child traffickers, Du Anrao and his group's corner had become the center of the banquet, attracting more and more people.

This was the scene Li Qianxi saw when she followed Madam Xie downstairs. From a distance, she only saw Madam Li and Madam Su, so she asked in confusion, "Aunt, Aunt, what happened?"

Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively turned around, which revealed Du Anrao and Du Yuxi, who had been hidden.
