The mind-reading fake heiress changes her fate by eating melons.

The Pei family was utterly disappointed at this moment.

They should have faced reality long ago.

Xuan Rui is the kind of person who would sacrifice her child to cover up her mistakes; getting her to come forward and admit her mistakes would be harder than climbing to heaven.

They should stop indulging in unrealistic and pointless expectations.

Pei Jinwen gestured to the security personnel to stop covering the three people's mouths, then asked Pei Jinhao:

"Do you have anything else to say?"

"Third sister, we are all innocent!" Pei Jinhao actually refused to admit it and instead tried to push all the blame onto Kong Xinyu.

At times like this, he doesn't care about the father-daughter relationship anymore. After all, Kong Xinyu betrayed him first, so why should he show any mercy?

"These are all lies made up by Kong Xinyu. She deliberately tried to harm me. She clearly had her eye on Mingyu all along and wanted to use such despicable means to force her to submit. I never ordered her to do anything."

“I can confront her! Can she produce evidence that I instructed her?”

Kong Xinyu then realized what was happening.

Yes, Pei Jinhao only discussed it verbally with them, so where did the evidence come from?

In her haste, the glass of milk she had seen in Pei Mingyu's room the night before flashed through her mind, and she quickly said:

"I'm not lying! Think about it, I didn't have a chance to drug Pei Mingyu. Pei Jinhao said the drug was put in the milk, and only he, a member of the Pei family, could find someone to help deliver milk to Pei Mingyu. You have to believe me!"

After Kong Xinyu shouted, no one responded for a moment, and the room became unusually quiet.

Pei Mingyu knew it was time.

They had given their mother so many chances, but she hadn't seized them even once.

“Mom,” Pei Mingyu turned around, her gaze fixed on Xuan Rui, who had been hiding behind her, her voice still filled with undisguised pain, “Last night’s milk, you were the one who brought it to me, you were the one who drugged me, weren’t you?”

"No, no, how could it be me? They must have drugged the milk beforehand. I didn't know!" Xuan Rui was extremely nervous, but she still dared not admit it.

Pei Mingyu was utterly disappointed. "Mom...why did you do this to me..."

He opened the video on his phone and held it up in front of Xuan Rui.

The moment Xuan Rui saw the scene in the video, she felt as if all the blood in her body was flowing backward, and her face turned even paler than before.

Her body trembled slightly, as if all her strength had been drained away.

That was her conversation with Pei Jinhao in the rooftop room. It clearly recorded how she agreed to Pei Jinhao's request, and even recorded Pei Jinhao saying that Pei Mingyu and Pei Jiyue were his children.

Her lips trembled, and her eyes were filled with despair and fear.

She knew she could no longer deny it.

“Mingyu, I, I…” Xuanrui’s voice choked, and tears welled up instantly.

She wanted to explain, to defend herself, but all her words seemed pale and powerless.

Watching the video again, Pei Mingyu was once again overwhelmed by the pain and disappointment he felt.

He looked at his mother, his voice hoarse:

"Mom, why did you agree to Pei Jinhao's request? I'm your son... How could you do this to me?"

Xuan Rui's tears kept falling. She reached out her trembling hand, wanting to grab Pei Mingyu's hand, but Pei Mingyu took a step back and avoided her touch.

“Mingyu, Mom was forced into this…” Xuanrui’s voice was filled with despair. “Pei Jinhao threatened me that if I didn’t agree, he would reveal what happened in the past. Mom really had no other choice…”

The pain in Pei Mingyu's eyes intensified:

"So hurting me, sacrificing me, is that the choice you made?"

Xuanrui's tears flowed even more freely, and she choked out as she spoke:

"Mom is scared, scared that you will hate me, Mom doesn't want to lose you..."

"Mingyu, Mom really knows she was wrong. Mom will never do it again. Please forgive Mom."

Pei Mingyu took a deep breath, still unable to calm her surging emotions, "Mom, how can I forgive you?"

Pei Jinwen quietly observed everything before him, his heart filled with indescribable complex emotions.

She walked over to Pei Mingyu and gently patted his shoulder: "Mingyu, we will handle this. Please calm down first."

Pei Mingyu nodded, fell silent, and tried to calm herself down.

Pei Jinwen turned to look at Xuan Rui, his tone icy:

“Xuanrui, we saw the video last night. The reason we waited until now is because Mingyu and Jiyue couldn’t bear it. They kept giving you chances, and they might even forgive you if you were willing to confess.”

"But you, until Mingyu showed you this video, you were still denying it."

Xuanrui pleaded in a trembling voice:

"Mom, I really know I was wrong. Please give me another chance. I promise I will never hide anything from you again."

Seeing that Pei Jinwen still had a cold face, she turned to her husband, her eyes red from crying.

“Yuan Si, it was Pei Jinhao who threatened me. I broke up with him a long time ago. The only person I love now is you.”

Those were mistakes I made when I was young and naive. I was afraid you would find out about my past, so I acted foolishly. I was also afraid of being abandoned by you. I really can't leave you.

How could Pei Yuansi feel good about it?

Although they met through a blind date, he married Xuanrui because he fell in love with her at first sight.

But little did he know that Xuan Rui had actually betrayed their family from the very beginning.

He sighed deeply, suppressing the reluctance in his heart.

"Xuanrui, let's get a divorce."

I think I must have been a terrible husband all these years, otherwise why didn't you ever think to tell me when you were being threatened, and even preferred to sacrifice our child?

Upon hearing that Pei Yuansi wanted to divorce her, Xuan Rui's body trembled violently, and she began to sway as if struck by something.

Having failed to be forgiven by her son and husband, she could only pin her hopes on Pei Jiyue.

At least, she didn't wrong Pei Jiyue, did she?

She then went to her daughter, her voice filled with a humble pleading:

"Jiyue, can you forgive your mother? You're all I have left..."

“Mom…” Pei Jiyue’s voice trembled slightly.

"Do you really think that sacrificing your brother once will solve everything? After all these years, haven't you seen what kind of person Pei Jinhao is? He'll only become more ruthless after succeeding once."

"You may have protected me this time, but what about next time? Can you really guarantee that Pei Jinhao won't find another opportunity to hurt me?"
