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

Ah? ?

Hearing this, An's parents were just as shocked as An Ling. They subconsciously turned to look at Yan Yu, only to find that Yan Yu's expression also seemed a bit off.

Let me see again...

[The reason he didn't reveal this before was because there were still some eccentric relatives in the Yan family that hadn't been dealt with, and Yan Yu wanted to lower their guard. Now that they've been dealt with, he's still struggling with whether to tell the An family the truth, because he's afraid that if he does, I'll insist on breaking off the engagement, and he's afraid that we'll have no connection left at all.]

So now you're trying to use moral blackmail to prevent me from breaking off the engagement?

"Seriously, bro? Aren't you just asking for trouble?"

[Wow, I'm Gu Chenming's simp, and Yan Yu is mine simp. There's even a food chain among us simps!]

An's parents squinted at Yan Yu: They never expected you to be such a scheming man!

Yan Yu noticed the scrutinizing gazes of An Ling's parents. He looked up and their eyes met, and they knew that the other had also heard An Ling's thoughts.

Mr. and Mrs. An were alarmed: What happened? How come Xiao Yu heard it too? They thought only the An family could hear it.

It wasn't that they didn't trust Yan Yu, it's just that the matter was indeed bizarre, and if it were leaked, it would definitely cause trouble for An Ling.

Yan Yu nodded to them, giving them a reassuring look to reassure them.

Seeing this, An's parents breathed a slight sigh of relief.

An Ling was still pondering what attitude she should take towards Yan Yu.

According to the novel's plot, she should despise Yan Yu and try every means to cancel her engagement with him and throw herself into the arms of the male lead, Gu Chenming.

Moreover, her attitude towards Yan Yu was outrageously bad.

This includes, but is not limited to, mocking Yan Yu for being crippled because he broke his leg while saving her.

Every time she saw Yan Yu, she gave him a cold look and wouldn't even give him a proper glance.

She publicly proclaimed that Yan Yu was her lapdog to satisfy her vanity.

【Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! 】

If there weren't other people present, An Ling would have wanted to cover her head and scream.

[I deserve to die! Why did I treat Yan Yu like that before?! Was I crazy?!]

That's the scariest part. An Ling genuinely believed she wouldn't do these things, but she actually did, and those images are still etched in her memory.

An Ling's parents and Yan Yu were taken aback by An Ling's two shouts.

Has An Ling really changed her personality?

What troubles An Ling's parents the most is that her personality changes drastically when she is in the presence of Yan Yu and Gu Chenming.

She lost all basic manners in front of Yan Yu, showing utter disdain for him, as if even glancing at him would offend her eyes.

But with Gu Chenming, she would turn into a simp, as if she were under a spell.

In the eyes of An Ling's parents, Yan Yu was clearly much more pleasing to the eye than Gu Chenming, and their attitudes toward An Ling were worlds apart.

Yan Yu's only flaw is his leg, and it was only because he saved An Ling that he became like this. Even if feelings can't be forced, An Ling shouldn't have treated Yan Yu like this, both morally and logically.

An Ling's parents and her two older brothers had talked to her about this matter countless times, but she remained unchanged. Yet, she acted perfectly normally in matters unrelated to Yan Yu and Gu Chenming, leaving the An family completely baffled.

Has An Ling now realized that her previous attitude towards Yan Yu was wrong?

In fact, An's parents knew very well that if they took the initiative to propose breaking off the engagement with Yan Yu, Yan Yu would most likely agree.

On the one hand, the An family found it difficult to bring up the matter because of Yan Yu's leg problem. On the other hand, they were also afraid that An Ling, without the constraints of this marriage contract, would become even more shameless in flattering Gu Chenming.

Therefore, An's parents always felt guilty when facing Yan Yu.

As a result, this kid didn't even tell them that his leg had healed!

To be honest, even from the perspective of An Ling's parents, who have been through it all, Yan Yu is a very good person. He is handsome, kind to An Ling, and is the head of the Yan family. Where else can you find someone like him among the younger generation?

Despite the outside world believing he was crippled, many families still wanted to arrange marriages with him. Not to mention that his leg is now healed, and once the news spreads, he will only become more popular.

But he even kept it a secret from the An family, just to avoid breaking off the engagement?

In the original storyline, even though An Ling treated Yan Yu this way, he still deeply loved An Ling, but because he didn't want to see An Ling's cold eyes, he rarely took the initiative to appear in front of her.

After An Ling's death, Yan Yu completely hated Gu Chenming and wanted to avenge An Ling, becoming a truly insane villain. However, he ultimately failed to defeat the chosen one and was killed when Gu Chenming sent people to break his legs and throw him off a cliff.

That cliff was the very spot where Yan Yu lost his leg while risking his life to save An Ling.

Even in his last moments, he never blamed Anling.

[To kill someone, you must destroy their spirit! To kill someone, you must destroy their spirit!]

[Gu Chenming, you bastard, I'll kill you!]

An Ling's two seemingly random sentences startled her parents, but when they looked at An Ling, her face remained calm, showing no sign of the great turmoil within her.

The couple gained a deeper understanding of their daughter's acting skills and felt that the Best Actress award was truly well-deserved.

[But I've treated Yan Yu so well, and he's still so good to me?]

[Do you really love the villain that much?]

No, this isn't about love anymore.

Isn't he a masochist?

Yan Yu suddenly choked and started coughing incessantly.

An's parents used all their strength to keep their expressions in check.

Father An patted Yan Yu's back and said, "Little Yu, your body is indeed a bit weak, hahaha."

Well, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

An Ling looked at the two men suspiciously, wondering what her father was laughing about.

Mrs. An glared at Mr. An and said, "Alright, alright, what are you all doing staying in the living room? Xiaoling, why don't you accompany Xiaoyu for a walk in the garden? If Xiaoyu has nothing else to do, why don't you stay for dinner tonight?"

Yan Yu had calmed down. "I'm fine, thank you Aunt Pei."

"Hey, why are you being so polite with your Aunt Pei?"

An Ling hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to treat Yan Yu next.

If it were up to her own wishes, she definitely wouldn't want things to be the same as before.

The problem is, if she treats Yan Yu better, wouldn't that be considered a departure from her established persona?

According to that mysterious person, the consequences of ruining one's persona can be very serious.

At best, the spirit will simply dissipate; at worst, it will cause the entire world to collapse.

At the time, that person instructed An Ling to maintain her persona in front of the main characters, including the male and female leads, but what about the villains?

Perhaps it's better to be on the safe side, especially since she hasn't yet completed the task of getting the real daughter back to her rightful place, and she really can't afford to make any mistakes.

So An Ling turned to the side, crossed her arms over her chest, and glanced at Yan Yu with a look that was three parts arrogant, three parts indifferent, and four parts disgust. She spoke coldly:

"Go by yourself if you want to. I have no interest in pushing a cripple."

【Ugh, I'm so damn stupid!】

Yan Yu! I'm so sorry! I'll definitely kowtow to you and apologize!

An Ling's parents and Yan Yu were all stunned by An Ling's two-faced behavior.

After An Ling finished speaking, she waited for a while and found that no one replied. She looked at Yan Yu in surprise and found that Yan Yu actually had a smile on his lips.

[Oh my god, could Yan Yu really be a masochist?]

"Pfft!" Father An couldn't help but laugh again.

Anling felt that her father was acting really strange today.

"Dad, has something good happened to you lately?"

"No, no," An Shuhai quickly denied, "I just suddenly remembered something funny."

"Don't mind him," Pei Yuning glared at An's father again, then laughed it off with An Ling, "If you don't want to go, then don't go. Why don't you rest a little longer? I'll call you when it's time to eat."

"No, thank you," An Ling replied. "Mom and Dad, you eat. I have to go out for a bit."

"What's wrong? Didn't you say you didn't take on any work before the New Year?" Pei Yuning thought An Ling wouldn't go out today. "Besides, you just had something happen yesterday, shouldn't you stay home and rest today?"

"Anyway, I just have something to do," An Ling replied ambiguously as she turned to go upstairs. "I'm going to change my clothes and then I'll leave. I don't know when I'll be back, so you don't need to wait for me."

【Of course I'm going to find the real heiress!】

If I don't complete this mission quickly, I'm doomed!
