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

Seeing that Tu Mumu was still being stubborn even at this point, An Yun finally realized that there was no way she could tell the truth.

The question just now was An Yun's last chance to give Tu Mumu. Seeing that Tu Mumu was still stubborn, he had already made up his mind to call the police.

Just then, An Yun caught a glimpse of Ye Lishan, who was too guilty to speak, and suddenly realized that there was still one person who had slipped through the net and was not at the scene.

He ignored Tu Mumu, who was still trying to appeal to his emotions, and instead looked at Ye Lishan and asked:

"You have another son, right? His name is Du Tao, isn't it?"

Ye Lishan was startled, never expecting her son's name to suddenly come out of An Yun's mouth. She didn't understand what An Yun meant.

She nodded and tentatively asked:

"Yes, how did you know my son's name?"

Judging from Ye Lishan's expression, An Yun knew that she was probably unaware that her son was also involved in the scam. Judging from the information An Ling had just given her, Ye Lishan probably cared more about her son than her daughter.

Perhaps she didn't care at all that Tu Mumu might go to jail because of this scam; she was just afraid that she would be implicated, which is why she acted so guilty and dared not continue to make a scene.

But what if it involves her beloved son?

So An Yun continued speaking to Ye Lishan:

"Tu Mumu said that her younger brother wanted to study art abroad, but he had to give up because his family couldn't afford his tuition and living expenses."

"Study abroad? Study art?" Ye Lishan didn't understand what An Yun was saying at all. "When did Xiao Tao go to study abroad?"

However, she quickly realized that if Tu Mumu could get her to act out such a play to swindle An Yun's money, then she could naturally get Du Tao to do the same!

Ye Lishan immediately had a bad feeling. An Yun's sudden statement was definitely not a good thing, and she didn't know what he was up to.

She gave a dry laugh:

“These are all lies that Tu Mumu made up to scam you out of your money. My son is not an art student at all, and these things have nothing to do with him.”

She then adopted a motherly demeanor and began to sternly educate Tu Mumu.

"How can you be such a bad sister? You even used your own brother to scam money. Quick, tell An Yun the truth. You made all this up yourself. It has nothing to do with your brother, right?"

Everyone could tell that although Ye Lishan knew nothing about this matter, just from An Yun's mention of it, she was trying to absolve Du Tao of all responsibility, and was also subtly implying to Tu Mumu that she should admit everything and tell An Yun that nothing had anything to do with her brother.

[How could they not be related? Just like faking illness required Ye Lishan's cooperation, faking studying abroad also required Du Tao's cooperation. The dramatic arguments between them that Second Brother witnessed were the result of their joint "efforts."]

No, to be honest, Du Tao actually chose to lie to her.

Although Tu Mumu repeatedly emphasized that Ye Lishan should keep what they were doing a secret and not tell anyone, how could Ye Lishan possibly keep it from her precious son?

Du Tao is much more cunning than Ye Lishan. Plus, he's younger and pays more attention to online news than Ye Lishan, so he knows about An Yun searching for her savior.

After learning that Tu Mumu had cheated An Yun out of her money, Du Tao threatened to expose Tu Mumu's deception to An Yun, and then extracted information from Tu Mumu about her relationship with An Yun.

[However, Tu Mumu wasn't telling the truth. Plus, Du Tao was very young when Tu Lan first came to their house, so he had no idea that Ye Lishan had snatched the jade pendant from Tu Lan. Therefore, he genuinely believed Tu Mumu was their savior.]

[Afterwards, Du Tao used the same method to threaten Tu Mumu, forcing her to cooperate in staging the act of going abroad to study. He then took almost all the money he swindled.]

[This is unbelievable, what a family full of villains!]

To be honest, the money Dr. Li and Ye Lishan received combined didn't even amount to what Du Tao got. Ye Lishan knows perfectly well what kind of person her son is; it's just that she values ​​her son more than her daughter. If sacrificing Tu Mumu to save her son could be done, she would definitely push Tu Mumu forward without hesitation.

An Ling and the others could see through Ye Lishan's thoughts, and they couldn't help but feel sorry for Tu Mumu.

But Tu Mumu seemed not to hear her. She was neither saddened or angry at her mother's obvious favoritism, nor did she listen to her and take on everything.

She had seen similar scenes countless times since she was a child. Whenever Du Tao was involved, regardless of whether it was her fault or not, in her mother's eyes, the one with the problem was always her, not her brother.

So Tu Mumu simply ignored Ye Lishan's words as if it were nothing out of the ordinary; this was a protective mechanism she had developed since childhood.

Seeing that Tu Mumu remained silent, Ye Lishan grew anxious.

"Speak up, are you mute? You've already ruined me, are you trying to ruin your brother too?"

Seeing that Ye Lishan had started swearing again, An Yun frowned and spoke:

"But I personally witnessed Du Tao and Tu Mumu arguing about studying abroad. I can't say he was completely unaware of it, can I?"

Whether he was involved or not is not for us to decide; let the police investigate.

"You want to call the police?" Ye Lishan panicked completely. "No, no, you can't call the police! Xiao Tao has only just come of age. If he goes to jail, his whole life will be ruined!"

"Tu Mumu!" Her voice turned shrill again, "This whole mess was caused by you and your bastard, what do you mean by wanting my son and me to be buried with you now!"

Upon hearing this, Tu Mumu finally reacted, and she gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"You and your son? What about me? Aren't I your daughter? Your son can't go to jail, but I can, right?"

Ye Lishan didn't think there was anything wrong with her at all; on the contrary, she found Tu Mumu's current reaction somewhat inexplicable.

"What are you saying? You did all this yourself, so you're asking for it by going to jail."

"I asked for this?" Tu Mumu looked at her biological mother in disbelief.

"But it's always been like this since I was a child! You always expect me to give in to him. If he gets hurt or scratched, it's always my fault. Whenever we have a conflict, you hit or scold me without even asking what happened. In your eyes, there's only your son. No matter what happens, I'm always the one who can be sacrificed, right? Is all this my own fault?"

Faced with Tu Mumu's rare courageous questioning, Ye Lishan was not guilty at all; instead, she was enraged, as if Tu Mumu had said something outrageous to her.

Ye Lishan couldn't understand why Tu Mumu would have such an idea.

"What kind of attitude is that? I'm your mother! How dare you talk to me like that?"

"You're the older sister, you should give in to him, what's wrong with that?"

She got angrier and angrier as she talked.

"What do you mean I sacrificed you? Look at what you did, fifty million! You have the guts to lie about it, but not the guts to admit it? We're just... uh, accomplices, yes, accomplices."

At this point, Ye Lishan's eyes lit up as if she had suddenly thought of a good idea.
