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

Chi Lingling and Qi Yize both have the image of elite professionals: Chi Lingling looks refreshing and capable, while Qi Yize exudes confidence and composure in every gesture.

They all look so decent-looking, how come they do such inhuman things?

Qiu Li then realized that the hardest part of getting An Ling to help her today wasn't getting information from her thoughts, but pretending not to hear anything—it really tested her acting skills.

He secretly glanced at Qiu Nian and found that Qiu Nian was naturally serving food to An Ling, without a trace of impropriety on her face.

He was truly humbled; it seems his sister is capable of making a living as an actress.

But then he looked at Chi Lingling and Qi Yize and realized that acting skills probably had nothing to do with whether or not one makes a living as an actor.

He had been with them for so long, and the two living, breathing people were having an affair right next to him, yet he hadn't noticed a thing.

Qiu Li felt that this shouldn't be because she was too slow to notice, since the two of them usually interacted in a very normal way, and they didn't even seem to be ordinary friends.

Aside from exchanging a few words with Qiu Li due to work or when they ate together, Qiu Li never saw them talking alone.

To achieve this level of skill, even professional actors would have to admit defeat.

Qiu Li and Qi Yize were college classmates. Chi Lingling was Qiu Li's junior sister under her mentor at the time. Because the mentor often had gatherings, the two gradually developed feelings for each other.

He was two years older than Chi Lingling. After graduating from university, he worked at a law firm for a few years before partnering with Qi Yize to open this law firm.

Chi Lingling later pursued further studies and completed a master's degree. After graduating this year, she simply came to his law firm as an assistant. After a year, she can apply for a formal practice license.

By that calculation, he has known Qi Yize for ten years and Chi Lingling for eight years.

He really wanted to know when these two had gotten together behind his back.

Since you're already together, why not just be honest with him? Why keep him in the dark like he's a fool?

What Qiu Li wanted to know was exactly what An Ling was also very curious about.

She checked Qi Yize's information and discovered that although he pretended to be on good terms with Qiu Li, he was actually so jealous of Qiu Li that he was practically envious.

Qi Yize was the kind of prodigy who was born into a wealthy family, had outstanding looks, and excellent grades. He was always at the top of his class and rarely encountered any setbacks.

However, when he got to university, he met Qiu Li, who was even more outstanding. Qi Yize found that he was overshadowed by Qiu Li in every way. His grades were not as good as Qiu Li's, his looks were not as good as Qiu Li's, and he was not as popular with girls as Qiu Li.

Yet, on the surface, he had to maintain this gentle and refined demeanor, pretending to be good friends with Qiu Li, while his heart was actually incredibly dark and twisted.

No matter how hard he tried, his grades and appearance were no longer relevant, so he had to work on other aspects.

Sometimes he would pursue people who liked Qiu Li, and if he succeeded, he would deliberately introduce them to Qiu Li to make her feel bad. However, Qiu Li seemed completely unconcerned, leaving him looking like he had made a fool of himself.

[Furthermore, he believed that his only advantage over Qiu Li was his family background, but no matter how casually he tried to talk about luxury cars and watches in front of Qiu Li, she remained indifferent to fame and fortune, and couldn't even recognize the brands, making his attempt to flaunt his wealth seem like a foolish act.]

An Ling couldn't help but feel a little confused when she saw this.

What does this mean? Family background? Does he have some misunderstanding about the Qiu family?

An Ling couldn't understand it at all. The Qiu family, a family with generations of scholarly tradition, had accumulated wealth and cultural heritage that was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

[What kind of family background does Qi Yize have that he dares to look down on the Qiu family?]

An Ling couldn't understand it at all, but Qiu Li and Qiu Nian could roughly understand it.

Qiu's parents are both university professors, and Qiu Li and Qiu Nian attended public affiliated schools from elementary to high school.

Although Qiu Shi is currently attending a private high school, it's only because her grades are so outstanding that the school proactively contacted her and offered her very good terms, so her family wouldn't have to spend any money.

Moreover, Qiu's parents lived frugally and never pursued any brand-name luxury goods, so Qiu Li and Qiu Nian always thought that their family was just an ordinary family. Although they had enough to eat, wear, and use, they were not wealthy.

It wasn't until they went to university and gradually began to engage with society that they realized their family might actually be quite extraordinary.

My parents' resumes can be found directly on Baidu Baike. They used to think that the paintings and calligraphy hanging in their study and the ornaments on display were just ordinary handicrafts. Once, they casually asked about them, and my parents actually replied, "Of course they are real."

Qiu Li and Qiu Nian were both shocked, but their parents thought they were confused and asked them, "Didn't you know?"

Of course they didn't know!

Who would think that the paintings and calligraphy hanging in an ordinary family home are genuine works, or the decorative items placed there are antiques?

Anyway, from then on, they knew that their family was indeed extraordinary.

But they were only surprised for a short time before they didn't feel much of a difference, and their lives were no different from before. Qiu Li, of course, didn't realize that Qi Yize had actually flaunted his wealth to her.

Qi Yize felt even more frustrated after realizing that the things he flaunted couldn't evoke any envy from Qiu Li.

He desperately needed something to prove Qiu Li was inferior to him, as an outlet for his frustration. Around that time, Qiu Li happened to be in a relationship, so he set his sights on Chi Lingling, intending to humiliate Qiu Li by cheating on him.

Hmm? Why does this plot seem a little familiar?

Isn't this Qisong 2.0?

Isn't Qi Yize's behavior exactly the same as Qi Song's?

If Qi Song hadn't already been thrown out of the country, An Ling would have really wanted to introduce them; scumbags always have a lot in common.

However, there are still significant differences between these two things, and the difference lies with Chi Lingling.

Wang Qingqing cheated on Chi Lingling, but Chi Lingling initially resisted the temptation.

She and Qiu Li started their relationship with a beautiful campus romance, so naturally they had feelings for each other.

At that time, Qi Yize secretly expressed his feelings for Chi Lingling behind Qiu Li's back, showing concern for her in private and occasionally giving her gifts, all of which were rejected by Chi Lingling.

At first, Chi Lingling not only ignored him but also deliberately distanced herself from him. A normal person would have given up then.

But Qi Yize became increasingly unwilling to give up despite his setbacks, and instead fought with even greater determination, showering her with sweet words and expensive gifts as if they were free.

[Because the more Chi Lingling ignores him, the more it shows she loves Qiu Li, and the greater his sense of accomplishment will be after he successfully wins her over.]

Anling: ...

[You're insane!]
