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

An Ling affirmed, "That's right, what do you think, Second Brother?"

Even if An Yun were a bit slow on the uptake, he could tell that An Ling's words had a hidden meaning. He started to wonder if he had done something to upset her, or if someone had said something to her.

Rather than making wild guesses, An Yun prefers to ask questions directly.

Just as he was about to ask An Ling what she was trying to say, An Ling's voice suddenly rang in his mind again.

[Oh my god, my second brother finally understands.]

That's right! I wanted you to dye that thing green!

Still treating your "white moonlight" as true love? Do you even realize you're already being cuckolded?

An Jun's eyes widened immediately.

The rest of the An family knew something was wrong when they saw him like this, and An Yun could hear it too!

An Yun stared with eyes full of shock and confusion, pointing at An Ling and asking the others, "Did you hear that? Xiao Ling, she... mmm..."

An Chong swiftly wrapped an arm around An Yun's neck and covered her mouth with his hand. "Xiao Ling is right. I also think this color suits you quite well."

“That’s right, that’s right,” Mr. and Mrs. An echoed, “This color is so vibrant.”

An Yun struggled to pry An Chong's hand away, saying, "No, Xiao Ling just now... mmm..."

An Chong simply used his other hand as well.

His arm remained as still as an iron wall, as if he were afraid that if he let go, An Yun would blurt out that he could hear An Ling's thoughts. Unfortunately, the others had the same idea as An Chong, so no one stopped him.

An Yun was held captive by his older brother for a long time without anyone coming to his rescue. He could only struggle and slap his brother's arm with his backhand.

“Big brother…” An Ling began hesitantly.

"What's wrong?" An Chong looked at An Ling, but his grip on her hand remained firm.

"I think my second brother is about to suffocate because of you."

An Chong looked down and saw that An Yun's face was flushed, clearly because she was suffocating. He then realized that when he covered his mouth, he had also covered An Yun's nose, which explained why she couldn't breathe.

An Chong was startled and quickly let go.

An Yun never expected that less than half an hour after returning home, he would experience a near-death experience at the hands of his own older brother. He bent over and gasped for breath for a long time before he felt a little better.

"Brother...do you want to murder your own brother?" he asked weakly.

However, An Yun didn't ask the same question again this time. Her older brother and the others' actions made it very clear that they not only heard An Ling's thoughts, but also tried to stop her from saying them.

He felt that if he continued to ask questions so tactlessly, he might really be murdered by his own brother.

But what exactly did Xiaoling mean just now?

No matter what An Yun thought, he could only come to one conclusion: An Ling wanted to tell him that he had been cheated on.

An Jun absolutely disagreed with An Ling's idea. He felt that his younger sister must have heard some rumors somewhere that led to her misunderstanding of his girlfriend.

An Jun had been planning to introduce his girlfriend Tu Mumu to his family anyway, so he took this opportunity to mention it to them.

He believed that once they met Mu Mu, they would definitely like her. No matter what misunderstandings An Ling had about Mu Mu before, as long as they spent time together, those misunderstandings would naturally be resolved.

“I have something to tell you,” An Jun said, his expression turning serious after catching his breath. “As you know, I’ve been dating my girlfriend for a year now, and I want to propose to her.”

An Yun had no idea that she had dropped a bombshell; she simply continued speaking to herself:

"Before that, I want to introduce her to you first, otherwise I'm afraid she'll think I'm not sincere."

"Isn't it too hasty to get married after only dating for a year?" An Shuhai knew he wasn't joking when he saw An Yun's serious expression. "Isn't a year enough time for you two to get to know each other?"

"How is that not enough? I'm absolutely certain she's the one I want to spend my life with!"

An Jun affirmed, "She really is a wonderful girl, and I believe you will all like her very much after you meet her."

【How could it not be good? It's practically your ideal type, isn't it?】

[Because she acted exactly like your ideal type! Your good buddy Yu Rushuo taught you step by step, and even made a hundred-page PPT just to analyze what your ideal type is like. Tu Mumu just had to act according to the PPT, and that's how she won you over.]

This fully demonstrates the importance of market analysis. By grasping the customer's pain points and accurately analyzing their needs, you can provide the most suitable product. Who could resist a personalized, tailor-made solution?

To be honest, Yu Rushuo would be more profitable if he opened a training course for "Heavenly King's Wives," so why does he only target his second brother to scam?

"Impossible!" An Yun suddenly raised her voice. "Mu Mu is the best girl I've ever met. Are you sure you haven't mistaken her for someone else?"

【Um? 】

An Ling was puzzled.

Who just asked him that?

"Ahem," An Chong took the blame, "We were just worried you'd be fooled. I think we should put the proposal on hold for now and wait until we've spent more time together."

"So you think Mu Mu is with me because of my status and money, right?" An Jun had an expression that said, "I knew it."

"Actually, I wanted to introduce Mumu to you when I first met her, but Mumu told me not to. Even after we started dating, Mumu told me not to go public with her relationship because she felt a little inferior and thought she wasn't good enough for me. She felt that if others knew she was dating me, they would assume the worst about her."

“But I thought you wouldn’t do this, Mom and Dad. Didn’t you always tell me that social status and family background weren’t important, and that sincerity was what mattered?” An Jun said with some disappointment. “I didn’t expect you to just be saying it.”

Of course she wouldn't dare go public, because it was all a lie. If she did, more eyes would be focused on her, and not everyone in the An family is as naive as her. They'd definitely investigate if they sensed something was wrong, and then their entire deception would be for nothing.

An Yun instinctively wanted to retort, but Pei Yuning quickly interjected, "Then at least the parents of both sides should meet before the proposal, right?"

Mentioning this, An Jun's face showed a trace of heartache. "Mu Mu's family situation is quite special. Her father passed away a long time ago, and her stepfather also died after gambled away a large sum of money. Her mother is also bedridden, so it may not be very convenient for them to meet."

After saying this, An Jun, with a determined look on her face, said to her parents:

"But even though Mu Mu grew up in such a family, she is still very kind and strong. That's why I want to marry her as soon as possible and give her a complete family."

[A gambling father, a seriously ill mother, a younger brother in school, and a broken woman—a character specifically crafted for the second brother to evoke his protective instincts, sympathy, and sense of heroism.]

At least this character design is somewhat convincing. If my second brother had been fooled by the woman selling his grandfather's tea, I would have laughed at him mercilessly.
