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

Chapter 8 The Top Star on the Verge of Collapse

"what is this?"

"Bai Xiuqing's pregnancy test report shows that she is indeed more than three months pregnant. The doctor who helped her change the report was an external doctor in the ultrasound department named Fang Cheng, who was her high school classmate and had a crush on her since high school."

In other words, regardless of whether Du Yuxi's story is true or false, the story about Bai Xiuqing is absolutely true.

What does Yu Xi think?

“I want to…” Du Yuxi’s eyes reddened slightly, “I want to know the truth. Even though they are all gone, I still need to know where I came from. An’an said that I look almost exactly like that Mrs. Li.”

Du's mother's eyes also reddened: "Whether you acknowledge them or not, I raised you for more than ten years, you are my daughter."

Previously, Du Yuxi was thought to be Wang Xuehe's daughter. No matter how sad and reluctant Du's mother was, she dared not say it out loud, for fear of hurting her own child's feelings.

Now that this worry is gone, the mother and daughter are finally relieved and can hug each other and cry their hearts out.

The three members of the Du family were somewhat relieved to see this scene. They were relieved that they could still keep Du Yuxi, and even more relieved that they had recognized Du Anrao instead of some monster like Miss Li.

At that time, Du Anrao, who was unaware of what had happened, began to worry about how to subtly reveal the truth to her kind fourth sister after ordering the safe.

As a result of his overthinking, Du Anrao slept in the next day. When he went downstairs with dark circles under his eyes, everyone else was either at work or at school, leaving only Du Hexuan sitting at the dining table, elegantly enjoying his breakfast.

"Get up, have breakfast first, then go upstairs to pack your luggage."

Du Anrao paused in pulling up the chair: "Why are you packing your luggage?"

[Is my second brother planning to kick me out of the house?]

Mr. and Mrs. Du, who had already eaten breakfast and were sitting on the other side of the sofa drinking tea, suddenly looked over.

Du Hexuan's forehead veins twitched: "My older brother said you're still not very clear about what you like, and you don't have any clear plans for the future. In that case, why don't you come with me to the film set? Maybe you can find something you're interested in doing."

Du Anrao stiffened: "Wouldn't that be too much of a bother for you? I don't have any experience in this area, so I probably won't be able to help you much, Second Brother."

[Help! How am I supposed to tell my second brother that as the sole heir to our sect, I'll have to go back and inherit that dilapidated little Taoist temple?]

"Pfft..." Du Hexuan was caught off guard by this sudden bombshell news and almost choked on his porridge.

Mr. and Mrs. Du were also startled. The three of them couldn't help but imagine their daughter (younger sister) dressed in Taoist robes sitting in the Taoist temple, welcoming and seeing off worshippers, and imparting knowledge. They shuddered.

"You don't need to do anything. Just treat it as a trip and stay on the sidelines and watch me film."

Mr. Du chimed in, "It's never a bad thing to go out and meet more people. How long will you be gone this time?"

"We need to go to J City to film, which will take about a week round trip."

It wasn't long, but Du Anrao had only been home for less than two days before he had to go on another long trip, and Du's mother was really reluctant to let him go.

Just as I was about to say something, I saw Du Anrao's eyes widen in surprise.

J City? Isn't that Fourth Sister's hometown?

Yu Xi's hometown? The Li family lives in J City!
The three women, including Du's mother, exchanged glances and reached a conclusion in an instant.

【It wouldn't hurt to go. I was just wondering how to tell Fourth Sister about this. Maybe I'll run into someone connected to the Li family in J City? Even if I don't, I can still give Fourth Sister some information when I get back, like meeting someone in J City who looks a lot like her.】 Du Anrao thought the plan was more and more feasible, so he stopped objecting to his second brother's suggestion. After breakfast, he obediently went upstairs to pack his things.

When she came downstairs with her things, she found Mr. and Mrs. Du each carrying a suitcase that was bigger than hers, waiting at the door.

"Dad, Mom, what's going on here...?"

“I discussed it with your dad. J City is far from home, and your second brother is busy with work and may not be able to take care of you. We’ll go with you so we can take care of you and also do some sightseeing along the way.”

"That company..."

"With your older brother around, nothing will go wrong." Father Du acted as a hands-off manager without any remorse.

Du Anrao: "..."

So when Du Junyan and Du Yuxi returned from work or school, they found their home empty.

The two people who were left behind: ?
Du's parents claimed they came to take care of Du Anrao, but they didn't actually go with the film crew.

Du Hexuan has taken on a guest role in a period fantasy drama, playing the role of a beloved immortal.

In fact, given his current status, he hardly takes on any TV dramas anymore. Even if he does, he will undoubtedly be the leading man, and he would never condescend to play a supporting role for a newcomer.

Unfortunately, he owed the director of this drama a favor when he first started out, and he took on this role to repay that favor.

This resulted in him, who had only a cameo role, becoming the biggest star of the show. It was just a matter of bringing one more person to the set to watch, nothing major.

When the director heard that he had brought a beautiful young woman to the set, he immediately came over to watch with great interest, his eyes practically gleaming with gossip.

"Who is this……"

Du Hexuan was an old acquaintance of the other party and saw through his little scheme at a glance, giving him a glare: "My sister, my own sister."

Unexpectedly, the other person's eyes lit up even more upon hearing this: "So this is your little sister whom you've been hiding from everyone. Looking closely, she does look a bit like you, and she's quite the beauty in the making. Little sister, since you're already here, how about having a cameo role in Uncle's drama? Uncle promises to have you dressed up beautifully and stun everyone."

Du Anrao knew that he had most likely confused him with Du Yuxi, so he immediately gave an awkward but polite smile.

[Seriously, is filming this casual these days? They just grab anyone and cast them? And director, you look like a creepy old man trying to abduct an innocent girl!]

"Get lost. It's not enough that you're taking advantage of me, you want to take advantage of my sister too. Stay away from my sister."

"That's not how it works..."

Before the director could say anything more, a clear male voice came from behind: "Director, Brother Du."

Du Anrao looked in the direction of the sound and saw a handsome and charming young man with a smile walking slowly from not far away.

"You've arrived. Let me introduce you. This is Pei Yiyuan, the male lead of our drama. Little Pei, this is Du Hexuan, the movie star, who will be making a cameo appearance as your master in the drama."

[Oh, so this is that newly crowned top star who's been cheating on multiple women and sleeping with fans. If I remember correctly, in a few months, he'll be reported for his involvement in group sex and his career will be ruined! He's the male lead in this drama? Then my brother's drama was a complete waste of time!]

Du Hexuan: "..."

The biggest investor in the show, who had just stepped into the film crew's door not far away: ?
