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

Chapter 92: Heartbreaking
Li Zhaoyang's almost resolute attitude surprised Xi Jingyue. After a moment, he tentatively asked, "What did she do this time?"

"What can she do in her current situation? At most, she'll resort to her most familiar tricks: the villain accusing the victim first."

Perhaps realizing that her self-inflicted injury had not achieved the desired effect, Li Qianxi finally became anxious.

While still in the hospital, she couldn't wait to complain to her backup suitors in a sycophantic manner, making it known that the prominent families in J City now know that the Li family are hypocritical, claiming to love their brother's orphan but secretly ignoring her and watching her with indifference.

"She probably thought we would be wary of these public opinions, and even if we were dissatisfied with her, we would at least keep a respectable facade. But she was wrong. My parents and I hate being threatened the most. We were originally thinking that after living together for more than ten years, we could part amicably, but now that she has made a scene, we are bound to have a falling out."

Xi Jingyue raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "It's also possible that she's certain we don't have any evidence to prove she's not your second uncle and aunt's biological daughter. Aren't there rumors circulating that you're deliberately mistreating her in order to seize the inheritance left by your second uncle and aunt?"

Li Zhaoyang suddenly realized: "That's right, how come I didn't think of that? My brain has been so busy lately that it's gone numb."

Xi Jingyue unconsciously recalled what happened at the banquet that night and ruthlessly exposed him: "You're not exactly smart when you're not busy either."

Li Zhaoyang: "..." That hurts, bro!

"So what? What are you planning to do? Publicly release the paternity test results of your second son and your second uncle and aunt."

"Of course, if Li Qianxi wants to take all of my second uncle and aunt's inheritance, she has to be their biological daughter first. Since she dares to use the name of the deceased as a shield, she should be prepared for the backlash. It just so happens that my second daughter's birthday is in two days, and my parents and I will go there in person to give her a big surprise!"

"You guys should take it easy, lest the surprise turns into a shock instead."

Li Zhaoyang: "..." Bro, will you die if you don't expose me?!

On the same day, Du Hexuan, who was working in another province, was also on edge. The invitation list for his mother's birthday banquet was updated in real time in the family group chat.

Most of the time, no one pays attention to this, but Du Hexuan happened to be bored that day and clicked on it, and then he saw a name that was extremely eye-catching.

[Du Family Gossip Group]

What a blunder! Why is that pig's name on the invitation list? Who invited him? Is he a relative or friend of ours? [Angry][Angry][Angry]

Light Rain and Dawn: Which pig? Who invited a pig? [Question]

20: That guy surnamed Xi!

Even through the screen, Du Yuxi could imagine her second brother's gritted teeth, but her mother was the kind of person who knew how to add fuel to the fire.

Patriarch #2: Oh, that Mr. Xi, he was invited by An'an. By the way, An'an only invited him!

Upon hearing this, Du Hexuan immediately flooded the screen with a row of fire-breathing emojis.

What a jerk! That bastard was flirting with An'an behind my back! An'an should have deleted his contact information; he doesn't seem to have any good intentions!

Patriarch #2: It wasn't that we contacted each other behind our backs. We just bumped into each other at the hospital yesterday. I probably just mentioned it casually and that's how I got them to come over.

What a load of rubbish: Yesterday? A chance encounter? Isn't that guy from J City? Which hospital did you guys run into at? What are you doing at the hospital? Who's sick?

Then everyone realized that because the story of Du Lian Shuang's family was so horrifying, and because Du's father and Du Jun Yan were so eager to find evidence to rescue Du Lian Shuang from her suffering as soon as possible, and Du Yu Xi was also busy comforting the two children, no one remembered to tell Du He Xuan about it, so he was still in the dark. Realizing this, the group chat fell silent.

After a long while, Du Junyan finally sent a document.

The eldest brother is very reliable: Melon Field Four – The Love and Hate of Aunt Du Lianshuang's Family.ppt
When this file was released, everyone in the group was shocked.

Patriarch #1: Boss, you...

Patriarch #2: Boss, you...

Wei Yu Ruo Xi: Big brother, you...

Meanwhile, Du Hexuan, the only one unaware of the situation, was busy reviewing the details his older brother had compiled, as well as some investigation information they had already confirmed.

The more I looked, the more surprised I became, and a little melancholy arose. A sense of annoyance and indignation welled up within me: "I'm working myself to the bone to earn money to support my family, while you're secretly enjoying yourselves."

The matter of Du Lianshuang's family temporarily attracted Du Hexuan's attention, causing him to temporarily put aside his grudge against Du Anrao for taking the initiative to invite Xi Jingyue to the birthday party, and instead become concerned about Du Lianshuang's plans.

Erle er: Now that things have come to this, what are you going to do, Auntie?
The boss is very reliable: just go through the legal process.

Whether Mr. Du's death was related to Cui Jueyan is still unclear, as no conclusive evidence has been found yet.

However, the affair between Cui Jueyan and Cui Dongmei was real. Although they did not obtain a marriage certificate, in the eyes of people in some areas, holding a wedding banquet was more effective than obtaining those two certificates.

Although nearly twenty years have passed, many villagers who attended their wedding banquet at the time could easily find out the details by asking around.

According to existing regulations, determining whether someone has committed bigamy does not necessarily mean that the other party has two marriage certificates. It is sufficient to prove that during the period of his marriage with Du Lianshuang, he also lived with Cui Dongmei as husband and wife.

This was no challenge for the Du family, who already knew the couple had held a wedding banquet.

Their investigation revealed that people in Cui Jueyan's hometown still believe that Cui Jueyan's wife is Cui Dongmei.

Cui Jueyan brought them into the city, which they saw as Cui Jueyan becoming successful outside and bringing his parents, wife, and children to enjoy a better life.

From beginning to end, no one knew about the existence of Du Lianshuang and her two children, let alone how Cui Jueyan became successful.

The eldest son is the most reliable: Aunt will file for divorce in court on charges of bigamy and recover the joint property that Cui Jueyan has spent on Cui Dongmei and her son over the years.

No matter the grounds for filing for divorce, it is unrealistic to expect the other party to leave with nothing.

Fortunately, when Grandpa Du agreed to their marriage, he had a backup plan and had them have a prenuptial agreement. Therefore, a lot of the money that Cui Jueyan has given away over the years is Du Lianshuang's premarital property.

When the two were still family and their relationship was very close, Du Lianshuang didn't care about these things. Now that their relationship has broken down and they are going to part ways, the amount involved is definitely astronomical.

Cui Jueyan has indeed earned a lot over the years, but compared to what he has spent, it's nothing. In other words, from this perspective, if Cui Jueyan divorces Du Lianshuang, he won't be able to squeeze any money out of her; in fact, he'll most likely end up owing her a large sum of money.
