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

The expressions of everyone present simultaneously turned serious.

Especially for the Qiu family, it wasn't a question of whether they believed it or not; rather, what An Ling said was too serious, and even if they didn't believe it, they couldn't completely ignore it.

Moreover, An Ling accurately stated the names of Qiu Li's girlfriend and law firm partner, information known to the Qiu family, which perfectly verifies the authenticity of An Ling's true feelings.

As the person involved in this matter, Qiu Li no longer felt the anger she had when she first heard about it. All that remained was worry about the fact that this matter had come true and how to verify its authenticity as soon as possible.

Because this matter affects not only his own life but also the lives of his parents, Qiu Li absolutely cannot let things develop as An Ling suggested.

Although Qiu Li's accident is expected next year, Qi Yize should have taken on that case at the end of this year, so it's probably coming soon, isn't it?

It's a pity I only know the names Chi Lingling and Qi Yize, but I don't know what they look like. Maybe I should find an excuse to visit Qiu Li's law firm sometime?

[If we can match their appearances, we can find out why they hate Qiu Li so much.]

Now everyone present knew that An Ling could indeed know some information that others did not, but if she wanted to inquire about someone, she needed to know both that person's name and appearance.

Qiu Li understood immediately; it seemed she should find a way to let An Ling meet these two people.

Anling didn't bring it up again, and according to her, it was going to happen next year, so it couldn't be rushed. So everyone's conversation circled back to the problem at hand.

Mother An said, "What we mean is that even if Qiu Nian doesn't want to come back to live here, she is still our biological daughter. We have to announce this news to the outside world, otherwise we will feel that we are wronging Qiu Nian."

“That’s right,” Father An also said. “We think we should hold a banquet as soon as possible to recognize her as part of our An family, invite all the prominent people in the circle, and formally introduce Qiu Nian to everyone.”

An's parents talked about their plans for the banquet in a very natural way, but they noticed that the expressions on the faces of the Qiu family members all looked a little unnatural.

Mother asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Do you feel there's something wrong with our arrangements?"

"Um..." Qiu's parents looked at each other, unsure of how to begin. In fact, the decision of how the An family should acknowledge Qiu Nian rested with the An family and Qiu Nian, so it was not appropriate for them to speak.

But since the An family is preparing to formally recognize Qiu Nian, wouldn't it be inappropriate if they didn't also hold a banquet to recognize An Ling?

The Qiu family is different from the An family. They are a relatively traditional family and tend to keep a low profile. They also advocate humility and self-reliance in their children's education. So whether Qiu Li is a lawyer or Qiu Nian is an actress, they rely on their own efforts.

Anjia means that I want to tell the whole world that I'm good to you, and I want to give my child all the good things in the world.

Low-key, reserved, silent love, and unspoken protection are completely out of the question for the An family. In their eyes, love should be expressed loudly, and to be good to Qiu Nian, one should publicly announce that she is the daughter of the An family, letting everyone in the circle know that Qiu Nian is protected by the An family.

[Isn't making Qiu Nian the center of attention at a banquet in front of so many people she's never even met just torture for her?]

Looks like she's about to experience what it means to be in the darkest hour of one's life, hahaha.

An Ling's gloating words made Qiu Nian and the An family feel somewhat embarrassed.

Mr. and Mrs. An hadn't really thought about this issue. After all, many people in their family were like this: they would hold a banquet for a birthday, a charity event, or any occasion that needed to be celebrated.

In their view, such an important event as recognizing their biological daughter naturally warrants a banquet, but they overlooked whether the protagonist even wanted to hold one.

Moreover, the reason why people in their circle love to hold banquets is mostly to strengthen communication and exchange benefits among themselves. Most of them have ulterior motives. An's parents also wanted to let people in the circle know that they value Qiu Nian, so that Qiu Nian's future career in the entertainment industry would be smoother.

Finally, Qiu Nian awkwardly cleared her throat and spoke:

"Uncle and Aunt, I think this banquet is unnecessary. It's enough for our two families to know about this. As for what other people think, I don't really care."

“But if we do nothing, we’ll feel like we owe you something…” Mother An wanted to say something more, but she was afraid that Qiu Nian would think they didn’t respect her thoughts, so she didn’t continue.

【Hey, if you feel indebted, just send money! We'll give you money, a house, a car, and resources—a lot of it!】

[Qiu Nian is so naive. If she didn't want to hold a banquet, she could have just let the An family announce it publicly. With the identity of the true heiress of the An family, let's see who dares to bully her.]

other people:……

[It's alright, I was going to do the mission anyway. Since you don't want to make it public, then let me do it.]

[Oh, right! Why didn't I think of that before! Selling such explosive news to paparazzi could probably make a fortune, right?]

[I've already thought of the title: Shocking! The former heiress of the An family was actually a fake? The real heiress's identity revealed—it's her?!]

[Or: You'll regret not reading this! The secrets of the wealthy you absolutely need to know! A deep dive into the truth behind the switch between the real and fake heiresses in the An family!]

An Family Member: Have you been giving Xiaoling less pocket money lately?

What if the Qiu family thinks we've raised our child to be obsessed with money?

Qiu family: ...

Being lively is good, being lively is good...

In the end, An Chong compromised on the ideas of both parties and came up with another solution.

"Since Qiu Nian doesn't want to be too high-profile, we can hold a smaller banquet, mainly inviting some An family relatives and close business partners. Qiu Nian will inevitably meet these people in the future, so why not express An family's stance through this banquet in advance, and avoid some trouble in the future."

"After all, the An family has a special status, and An Lingqiu and Nian are both in the entertainment industry. There are many things that cannot and should not be kept secret. Rather than letting the outside world speculate, it is better for us to announce the news directly and show the outside world that the An family acknowledges both children. This is better for both of them."

"As for Uncle Qiu and Aunt Shu, I know that your family traditions and circumstances are different from ours, so it's definitely better for you to keep a low profile. I think Xiaoling understands that."

An Ling was startled when her name was suddenly called. Seeing An Chong winking at her, she realized what he meant and quickly spoke to the Qiu family:

"Yes, yes, yes, Qiu Nian can have one of these banquets, I don't need to, hahaha."

[Hehe, I'll also take a picture of Qiu Nian's embarrassed expression then.]

Qiu Nian: Thank you so much.
