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

Chapter 95 The Future Has Changed
What? What changed?!

Du's mother and the others, who had been quietly playing the role of background figures, were instantly unsettled.

Du Anrao blinked, making sure he wasn't seeing things.

She noticed it as soon as she entered the room: Zou Heng's forehead was dark, and his nose bridge was bluish with horizontal lines because of the fight, which was a sign of a violent death.

In other words, even if he clears up the misunderstanding with Liao Yuqian and doesn't commit suicide like in the original storyline, he still can't escape death.

But just now, faced with their unconventional attempts to persuade him to stay, he had no choice but to compromise and stay instead of insisting on staying as before, and his expression changed.

The bluish tinge on the bridge of his nose was slowly fading, and the horizontal lines formed by his melancholy frown were gradually smoothing out, transforming what looked like a violent death into a miraculous escape.

Before Du Anrao could think any further, she felt a bright light explode before her eyes, and fragmented images flooded her mind, causing her vision to go black and almost making her fall.

"An'an!!!"

Du's mother and Du Lianshuang both cried out in surprise and quickly supported Du Anrao on their left and right.

Yin Bailu and the others were also startled. After realizing what had happened, they rushed forward to help: "Are you alright? I'll go call the doctor."

"No need." Du Anrao shook his head and waved his hand. "I just felt a little dizzy for a moment, but I'm fine now. There's no need to call a doctor."

Everyone present: "..." Judging from your statement, you don't seem to be alright!
Looking at the still serious expressions on everyone's faces, Du Anrao paused for a moment before carefully saying, "The reason for this might be that I inadvertently glimpsed a sliver of heavenly secrets."

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent.

Unlike Yin Bailu and the others who were surprised and curious, Zou Heng looked at Du Anrao with a probing gaze, practically screaming "Could this be a fraud?"

"Who is this……"

Yin Bailu and Liao Yuqian exchanged a glance, tacitly understanding each other's meaning.

"This is Miss Du Anrao, Lian Shuang's cousin, and also our family's and... your benefactor."

"A benefactor?" Zou Heng was stunned, unable to understand how a benefactor could suddenly appear out of nowhere.
"Aren't you curious about why we kept Shanshan's situation from you for so long, and then suddenly told you? It's because of her."

Yin Bailu briefly recounted to Zou Heng the whole story of how everyone asked Du Anrao to read Liao Yuqian's face that day, as well as the things Du Anrao said to them.

Zou Heng's slightly swollen eyes widened after hearing this: "So you listened to her and guessed that I had a misunderstanding about my brother because of Shanshan, which is why you told me the truth."

"……Um."

"The little person she was talking about, was it me?"

Yin Bailu was stunned for a moment, worried that the person she had finally managed to persuade would be scared away again, so she turned to Du Anrao for help.

Du Anrao's lips twitched slightly, and he sighed resignedly, asking in return, "If Uncle Liao and the others hadn't told you the truth, would this have happened today? Would Uncle Liao have been seriously injured as a result?"

Du Anrao deliberately emphasized the word "seriously injured," and Zou Heng was shocked, already knowing the answer in his heart.

If he didn't know the truth, what happened today would definitely still have happened, and he might even be one of the people in the know.

He won't need to do anything at that time; he just needs to find a reason not to travel with Liao Yuqian.

With no one around to protect him at all costs, Liao Yuqian had no chance of holding out until the kind person called the police. It was highly likely that he had already died before that... Thinking of this, Zou Heng couldn't help but feel a lingering fear, and his face immediately returned to its previous gloom.

Yin Bailu and her husband were startled and were about to say something when Du Anrao spoke first.

"Different choices lead to different outcomes; they are, and so are you. Because of your choices, your future and theirs have already changed."

Zou Heng froze, staring blankly at Du Anrao.

Yin Bailu was overjoyed and excitedly said, "That means Yuqian has survived this ordeal, and the future has changed. Aheng and we will all be fine from now on, right?"

Du Anrao did not answer her question, but looked directly into Zou Heng's eyes and told him what he had just seen by chance.

"The secret I just glimpsed is about you. I saw that you have a new family, a cute little girl with dimples at the corners of her mouth."

"This is really... really..." Yin Bailu was stunned for a moment, as if she had thought of something and was too excited to say anything. She turned to look at her husband, but her eyes were already red.

Du Lianshuang was puzzled and could only ask Yin Bailu with her eyes.

Yin Bailu sniffed and said in a hoarse voice, "I remember Shanshan also has a dimple on the corner of her mouth, which can be seen when she smiles."

Du Lianshuang and the others suddenly realized what was happening, and when they looked at Zou Heng again, they found that he was already in tears.

Perhaps this is the wonder of fate in this world: it can give you a wake-up call in good times, and then offer a lifeline in times of despair.

Perhaps Zou Heng wasn't bothered by the deaths of his family members, but rather that he was living a lonely life, not knowing when he would die, or how to live a good life. He was aimless, confused, and like a walking corpse.

Du Anrao suddenly understood why Zou Heng committed suicide in the original story, and why he died a violent death after leaving Liao Yuqian.

He lost his closest blood relative and betrayed his brother, who regarded him as a close friend.

After a lifetime of wandering, looking around, I am still all alone, with nothing to my name.

According to the original storyline, he even did something against his conscience due to a misunderstanding, causing irreparable consequences.

The pain of losing all his loved ones, the guilt of betraying his brothers, and the resentment of trusting the wrong people completely overwhelmed him in that instant, leading him to make the decision to atone with his death.

Now, although there is still room for redemption and Liao Yuqian is not seriously injured, Zou Heng's previous betrayal is still a thorn in his heart.

When he suddenly learned that he would have a lovely relative like his sister again in the future, for reasons he couldn't explain, Zou Heng suddenly felt the thorn in his heart soften.

Perhaps, perhaps I am not as bad as I think, so God took pity on me and did not really leave me with nothing. I still have the possibility of finding happiness, right?
Like a drifting duckweed, it has found a harbor where it can stay, but it is afraid that this beautiful future is like a mirage, fleeting and ephemeral.

As if to corroborate Du Anrao's statement, before anyone could react, the ward door was suddenly pushed open with a bang, and a woman covered in sweat and looking disheveled rushed in: "I heard that President Liao and Master were attacked and injured and hospitalized. Are you... alright?"

The woman was suddenly confronted by a group of people in the ward. Her expression went blank for a moment, and her voice grew softer and softer.

Du Anrao raised an eyebrow and glanced down, and sure enough, he saw the red thread tightly tethered to the two of them.

Oh wow, speak of the devil and he appears! Isn't this the legendary...mother of the child?

Du's mother and Du Lianshuang: Pfft...
