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

Chapter 77 is a complete lie from beginning to end.

Thirteen years ago, Tu Mumu was only twelve years old. Because An Yun was always quite thin and children of that age don't have much trouble carrying someone their own age, the An family never considered whether Tu Mumu could carry An Yun.

But now that I've heard An Ling say this, it does seem a bit strange.

An Yun did mention that she felt she was carried for a long time, maybe one or two hours.

He was young and in a semi-comatose state at the time, so his perception of time may not have been accurate.

The An family always felt that either An Yun was mistaken, or the person who saved him was much older than him. When they learned Tu Mumu's identity, they always thought it was the former.

But now Tu Mumu is saying that she carried An Jun for several hours, which is something that people can't help but care about.

As for An Ling, although she met Tu Mumu in person tonight and knew what she looked like, she never even thought about finding out whether she was An Yun's savior.

Because the original text didn't contain a single detail about whether this was true or false, An Ling thought that Tu Mumu's identity was a foregone conclusion!

She hurriedly opened the character lookup tool again.

【I've been looking and looking, but I can't find it? How could it not be there?】

[It was thirteen years ago, that's true, but Tu Mumu's information didn't mention anything about her saving An Yun!]

That jade pendant wasn't hers either; she stole it from her cousin!

After An Ling finished saying those words in her mind, she fell silent, presumably continuing to look up other information.

The An family was completely shocked by the news, especially An Yun. This news was even more shocking to him than knowing that Tu Mumu and Yu Rushuo had conspired to deceive him.

At this moment, he seemed to be unable to hear Tu Mumu's noise. His mind was filled with the two sentences An Ling had just said: "Tu Mumu stole the jade pendant from her cousin."

So, the person who saved her back then wasn't her at all, but her cousin?

[Her cousin's name is Tu Lan. When she was sixteen, she lost her guardian and was taken in by Tu Mumu's father. However, she only stayed with him for a year because her father died the following year while saving his wife from drowning, and Tu Lan was kicked out.]

[Tu Mumu naturally wouldn't welcome the sudden arrival of someone who would divide the family's affections; it was normal for a young girl to have such thoughts at the time. However, Ye Lishan also considered Tu Lan a burden and constantly mocked and targeted her in front of Tu Mumu.]

[Especially since Tu Mumu discovered that the worse her attitude towards Tu Lan was, the more her mother seemed to be willing to give her a nicer look, she thought she had found a way to please adults.]

Not only did she curse Tu Lan as a beggar who wouldn't leave her house, but she also forbade Tu Lan from touching anything in the house. She even tried to take anything Tu Lan had brought that she wanted.

The more the An family members listened, the more hostile their gazes became towards the mother and daughter.

Sometimes children don't understand much. The way they treat others is mostly influenced by adults. The way Tu Mumu treated Tu Lan must have been the result of Ye Lishan's indulgence and even encouragement.

[This jade pendant is the same, but the difference is that Tu Lan did not resist when she asked for other things, but she refused to give this jade pendant to Tu Mumu, saying that it was temporarily left with her by someone else.]

Seeing how much Tu Lan treasured the jade pendant, Tu Mumu knew it must be a valuable item, so she stole it while Tu Lan was away.

[After discovering the theft, Tu Lan naturally suspected Tu Mumu, but Tu Mumu refused to admit it. Ye Lishan, who usually didn't care much about her daughter, sided with Tu Mumu at this moment. She knew in her heart that Tu Mumu must have stolen it, but she still chose to slap Tu Lan and tell her to get out of their house if she made any more trouble.]

What's even more ridiculous is that Tu Mumu regarded this jade pendant as evidence that her mother cared about her and was on her side, so she kept it safe.

After learning the truth, An Jun felt that she had never been so angry in her life.

He looked at Tu Mumu, who was still using the jade pendant to impersonate her and trying to get him to forgive her, and asked, word by word, "Was it really you who saved me back then?"

Tu Mumu was startled for a moment, and stammered, "Of course, why are you suddenly asking that?"

"Is that so?" An Yun stretched out her hand and said in a deep voice, "To be honest, it was my mistake. I never verified the authenticity of this jade pendant. Take it off and let me take a look."

Tu Mumu pulled her hand back from the jade pendant, unwilling to hand it over. "You gave it to me yourself, how could it be fake?"

"I was just checking, why are you so nervous?" An Yun stretched her hand a little closer to Tu Mumu. "Didn't you just say you'd listen to me? Were you lying to me again?"

After hesitating for a moment, Tu Mumu took the jade pendant off her neck and handed it over.

An Jun took the jade pendant and stroked the patterns on it with her fingertips. "Yes, it is indeed real."

Tu Mumu and Ye Lishan both breathed a sigh of relief.

Before they could even catch their breath, An Yun looked up at Tu Mumu and asked the same question as before:

"I'm giving you one last chance. Did you really save me back then?"

Tu Mumu had never felt such pressure from An Yun before. Coupled with her own guilty conscience, she looked away and dared not look An Yun in the eye. She couldn't help but wonder if An Yun knew something.

But she immediately ruled out that possibility, because from the first day An Jun met her, he had never doubted her identity. Just now, An Jun had protected her because he couldn't bear to see her being beaten and scolded by Ye Lishan, and gently helped her up. Doesn't that prove that An Jun had no suspicions?

Thinking this, Tu Mumu suppressed her unease and met his gaze.

"Of course, don't you believe me?"

An Yun stuffed the jade pendant into her pocket and asked expressionlessly, "How long did you carry me on your back then?"

"Two, two hours."

"Two hours? Ha, could you carry someone your age for two hours on a mountain path when you were twelve?"

An Yun asked in succession:

"It was still dark then. Why would a twelve-year-old girl like you be alone on a mountain that's a two-hour walk from the town? Later, the An family inquired all over that town and the surrounding villages, but they couldn't find you. Where were you then?"

[Oh my god, my second brother actually discovered the blind spot himself? He can be this smart sometimes!]

[Did his IQ regain its superiority after he suspected that Tu Mumu wasn't the one who saved him?]

An Ling was about to point it out herself, but unexpectedly An Jun also noticed the problem.

She couldn't help but applaud her second brother in her heart, although to An Yun it didn't sound like a compliment.

"Didn't you ask me these questions before? I've already explained them to you. I was too young back then, and I don't remember many things. I just rarely go back to my hometown. After I saved you that day, I went back to Haicheng, so of course you couldn't find me," Tu Mumu replied, half-truthfully.

When they first met, An Yun asked many questions about that day.

Tu Mumu half made excuses by saying she was too young to remember, and the other half used a mix of her own and Tu Lan's circumstances to cover it up. With the truth half out, An Jun really didn't suspect anything.

If An Ling hadn't been able to directly access Tu Mumu's information this time, he probably would never have discovered that even the fact that Tu Mumu saved him was a lie; she really hadn't told him a single truth from beginning to end.
