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

"Of course! Why would I lie to you?" Although Su Xiaowan denied it vehemently, she didn't dare to look at Pei Jinhao.

Pei Jinhao himself is the kind of person who never speaks the truth and just blurts things out, so how could he not know what Su Xiaowan's reaction meant?

"You actually lied to me! All these years! You've been lying to me for so many years!"

Pei Jinhao refused to kneel or kowtow anymore, and suddenly started fighting with Su Xiaowan. Even the security personnel had to use a lot of effort to separate them.

"I only married you because Xiaobo is my son! But it turns out that was all a lie?"

Su Xiaowan, you bitch! Did you do this on purpose?!

"You deliberately tricked me into marriage so I'd get addicted to gambling, so I could get money from the Pei family to clean up your mess. Otherwise, how could I have ended up like this!"

Has Pei Jinhao's intelligence finally prevailed again?

Just as he guessed, Su Xiaowan lost a lot of money gambling, but the situation wasn't as bad back then as it is now, and no one knew that she had almost gambled away all her savings.

But a gambler's desires are limitless, and she herself couldn't quit, so she wanted to drag Pei Jinhao down with her, hoping that having more people would provide another way to raise gambling funds.

Su Xiaowan was not to be outdone:

"You make it sound like you're the complete victim. Didn't you only want to marry me because you were after the assets I got from my previous two marriages? If you hadn't married me, would your sister have given you the company? You're a good-for-nothing who couldn't keep the company and you're blaming me for it."

Someone like you should be grateful if anyone's willing to marry you, otherwise you'll be a bachelor for life!

[So they know each other's character inside and out now. Pei Jinhao really thought Su Xiaowan was a rich woman, which is why he chose to marry her. He just didn't expect that his plan would backfire so badly.]

These two are truly a match made in heaven!

While others watched them fight like dogs, they had already called the police.

They also knew that these four people, including Xuan Rui, would not receive any serious punishment.

However, the fact that it did not cause any real harm to the Pei siblings, and that it allowed Pei Jinwen to completely sever ties with Pei Jinhao and stop supporting his brother, and that it allowed the Pei family to see Xuan Rui's true colors, is already considered lucky for them.

And this good fortune was brought to them by Anling.

……

After receiving treatment at the hospital, Xuan Rui regained consciousness. She remained silent for a long time after waking up, and the first thing she said was that she agreed to the divorce.

Xuan Rui said that she made that choice because she really believed Pei Jinhao's words and thought that Pei Mingyu and Pei Jiyue were his children. She was afraid that if the Pei family found out, they would kick them out.

She didn't care about losing everything herself, but her two children were innocent and would be dragged down by her, losing their status as members of the Pei family. She felt she really couldn't accept that outcome.

But now that Pei Mingyu and Pei Jiyue are confirmed to be Pei Yuansi's children, she has nothing to worry about. Even if they get divorced, as long as the two children can continue to live their previous lives, that's enough.

Pei Mingyu and Pei Jiyue didn't know whether her words were sincere or just an excuse to absolve herself in the current situation. In any case, it was unrealistic to expect them to forgive Xuan Rui so easily.

Especially for Pei Mingyu, this matter will probably become a knot in his heart that he can never untie for the rest of his life.

As for Pei Jinhao and Su Xiaowan, and even Su Xiaowan's biological son Lu Anbo, after the news of the Pei family severing ties with Pei Jinhao spread, those illegal debt collectors probably won't let them get away with it.

Kong Xinyu is unlikely to be implicated by them.

Because on the surface she is just a stepdaughter who has no blood relation to either of them and is not well-liked by them, as long as she can make up her mind to leave that family this time, those debt collectors will not target her.

In fact, she did just that.

A year later, on the Lantern Festival, Pei Mingyu received a letter from Kong Xinyu.

In the letter, Kong Xinyu once again apologized to Pei Mingyu for what happened a year ago, and also shared some of her recent situation.

She said she went to a small, remote county in the south and worked at a milk tea shop there.

She only realized now that she had always had the ability to escape from Su Xiaowan.

She had always known that Su Xiaowan had a gambling habit. In fact, with a little thought, she knew that Su Xiaowan could not possibly have any extra assets for her; she was just subconsciously avoiding that possibility.

Life now has many troubles, and materially it is certainly not as good as before.

But the pace of life there is very slow, slow enough for her to slowly think about the path she should take in the future. Besides, she's currently single and has no family to worry about, so there's nothing to be concerned about.

She also met many normal people, made many normal friends, and started living a normal life.

At the end of the letter, she said that she had no other intention in sending the letter than that the only person she felt sorry for right now was Pei Mingyu, so she wanted to express her apologies to him again through this letter and hoped that she had not bothered him.

The An family was also present the day Pei Mingyu received the letter. They were all witnesses to what happened a year ago. After learning about Kong Xinyu's current situation, they were not exactly relieved, but they were certainly happy for her.

Although she did make a mistake, living with people like Su Xiaowan and Pei Jinhao could drive even the most normal person to become abnormal.

Now that she had stepped out from under the protection of those two men, she realized that it wasn't raining at all outside.

They've found their direction and started a new life, which is ultimately a good thing.

……

Let’s get back to the present.

The Pei family was also very efficient; the news of Pei Yuansi and Xuan Rui's divorce and Pei Jinwen's complete severance of ties with Pei Jinhao spread on the same day.

Neither of these two things, taken individually, would likely attract much attention.

But the fact that the two things happened at the same time has made everyone think a lot, and most people are guessing whether Xuan Rui cheated on Pei Jinhao.

His wife cheated on him with his own brother-in-law? Pei Yuansi's cuckolding is truly outrageous.

Although everyone felt that Pei Jinhao was not even as good as Pei Yuansi, and they were very puzzled as to why Xuan Rui would cheat on Pei Jinhao, what if some people have pica?

However, after learning that not only the two of them, but also Su Xiaowan, her son, and her stepdaughter had been taken away by the police, everyone overturned their original idea and began to rack their brains to guess what those people had done that made the Pei family so determined and required the police to intervene.

But no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't figure it out. More and more people were scratching their heads, wanting to hear the gossip but unable to, and the matter even made it to the top of the trending searches again.
