Ah! The Villains I Forced to Turn Evil Can Read My Mind

She turned around and left.

Pei Youchuan followed her with a tray in hand: "Chuchu, my little sister—"

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his heart!

Pei Youchuan's face turned pale in an instant!

Damn, every time he thought about telling her the truth, his heart hurt so much!

He couldn't help but feel even more upset.

No wonder Qiao Chuchu had been coerced by the system all this time.

He must have been an idiot, blaming her when she had suffered so much!

With great effort, he kept holding the tray, ready to catch up with her: "Chuchu, aren't you going to try the other drinks? You haven't tried them yet."

"Mr. Pei?" A male voice called from behind.

Pei Youchuan looked back.

Boss Zhang, the man he was supposed to meet, was standing behind him with a smile.

Boss Zhang said, "I was looking for you. I sent you a message, but you didn't reply. I thought something had happened to you."

He glanced at the tray in Pei Youchuan's hand: "Why do you have so many drinks?"

Pei Youchuan, who was tall and impeccably dressed in a suit, held a tray filled with colorful liquids and various styles of cups.

His temperament and this vibrant tray didn't match at all.

It was like a handsome, contrasting "mother hen."

Even Boss Zhang's secretary couldn't help but chuckle.

Pei Youchuan didn't care and said indifferently, "These are for my sister. I didn’t know which ones she would like, so I got them all."

Boss Zhang laughed: "Everyone says you're very fond of your sister. Seeing is believing. Let me have my secretary take the tray for you."

Boss Zhang's secretary stepped forward and took the tray.

Boss Zhang commented: "Your relationship with your sister is so close, even if you weren't blood-related, it seems like you are."

Pei Youchuan picked up his phone: "Well, we've lived together for so long, so we've developed a deep bond."

Boss Zhang: "?"

Why did that description seem a bit off?

Pei Youchuan sent Qiao Chuchu 50,000 yuan via WeChat: "Want to play a bet that tests your endurance?"

Qiao Chuchu quickly accepted the 50,000 yuan: "What kind of bet?"

Pei Youchuan: "I'm at the third-floor restaurant. Come and find me. Stay within my sight until my meeting with the client is over, and you can earn another 100,000 yuan!"

Qiao Chuchu: "?? Is this some low-difficulty task that earns me 150,000 yuan? Are you insane, or am I insane? Or do you just have too much money to burn?"

Pei Youchuan pondered for a moment and typed: "I’m betting that you won’t want to stay within my sight. If you don’t show up, or if you leave before the time is up, you owe me 200,000 yuan. You’ve already taken the money, so you’re in. If you don’t come now, you owe me 200,000 yuan right now!"

Knowing Qiao Chuchu’s personality as a little money-grubber, he was sure she would bite.

Indeed, Qiao Chuchu replied: "You've sparked my competitive spirit! I guarantee you won't get a single penny from me!"

She rushed upstairs and appeared within Pei Youchuan's sight, smirking confidently, looking like she had already won.

She resembled the popular "Fresh Brother" meme from the internet.

Pei Youchuan stood tall, put away his phone, and raised an eyebrow as he looked at her and smiled: "Come with me."

Just before entering the restaurant, he whispered to her: "Don’t forget, if you leave my sight, you owe me 200,000 yuan."

Qiao Chuchu gave him an OK gesture!

【150,000 yuan is mine for the taking!】

Pei Youchuan raised an eyebrow and smiled cheerfully. He followed Boss Zhang into the restaurant.

Qiao ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‍Chuchu sat by a bar and started making a mind map on her phone, continuing to sort out the plot and character relations.

A familiar voice came from behind her: "Luna, thank you for letting me come on the cruise with you. I've never been on such a luxurious cruise before, and I didn't even have a ticket. You managed to get me on at the last minute. I'm really grateful."

Qiao Chuchu looked toward the source of the voice.

Xia Xuechun was walking alongside a beautiful woman with voluminous curls.

Luna was tall and alluring, wearing a sexy short skirt paired with fur, while Xia Xuechun was still in her wrinkled Chanel suit, shoes a bit dirty, her whole demeanor looking dull and lifeless.

Clearly, she was Luna's subordinate.

Luna glanced at Xia Xuechun proudly: "It's nothing. You weren't able to stay at the dinner after it was interrupted, so I just let you keep me company. After all, you’re Uncle Long’s adopted daughter."

After saying that, Luna added curiously: "But why did Madam Wang’s tea gathering end so early? It usually lasts for hours."

Xia Xuechun lowered her head in guilt: "Someone framed me for stealing, and Madam Wang got mad at me."

Luna's eyes widened in surprise: "Who?"

Xia Xuechun's clear eyes flickered with resentment as she looked up: "Qiao—"

Before she could finish, she saw Qiao Chuchu.

Xia Xuechun's breathing hitched, and her lifeless appearance immediately transformed into one of vigor, like a rooster pumped full of adrenaline: "Qiao Chuchu?!"@@novelbin@@

Luna was also surprised as she looked at Qiao Chuchu, her expression changing: "Qiao Chu?"

Qiao Chuchu put her hand under her chin and lazily stared at the two of them: "How surprising, my two not-so-friendly acquaintances meeting each other. Guess that old saying is true—the enemy of my enemy is my friend, huh?"

Xia Xuechun looked at Luna in surprise: "Luna, you’re not on good terms with Qiao Chuchu either?"

Qiao Chuchu gave a playfully wicked smile: "What do you mean 'not on good terms'? She fled the country out of fear and didn’t dare come back for years. Right, Luna?"

Luna's face turned pale as she stared at Qiao Chuchu without saying a word.

Qiao Chuchu gave Luna a cold smile.

During the dark years after Pei Mom passed away and the Pei family fell into chaos, Luna had led the girl gang that bullied her.

The school they attended was full of wealthy and influential families, so overt bullying was rare. It was usually a case of the leader of a clique exploiting their underlings.

Luna was one of those leaders.

She had pursued Pei Youchuan intensely for many years, but he always rejected her.

After Pei Mom's death, the family's fortune was taken by other members of the Pei family, leaving them penniless.

Luna then turned on them, getting boys to beat up Pei Youchuan and girls to beat her up.

But Qiao Chuchu wasn’t easy to bully. She brought homemade stink bombs to school for revenge, and the one who got it the worst was Luna.

Luna, however, didn’t back down. Even after being tricked multiple times, she kept bringing her gang to attack Qiao Chuchu in the girls’ bathroom.

During those times when the numbers were against her, Qiao Chuchu indeed suffered, but she was cunning and developed crude, dirty weapons to fight back, refusing to let Luna have the last word.

Later, one by one, the members of the Pei family met with unfortunate accidents, and her status grew stronger day by day.

Luna must have sensed the ominous atmosphere and fled the country without looking back.

After so many years, it seemed Luna still hadn’t changed, still reveling in her role as a clique queen.

The only difference was that she now had Xia Xuechun among her plastic sisters.

Qiao Chuchu was a bit curious.

Luna wasn't part of Xia Xuechun’s usual circle. What role did she play in Xia Xuechun’s group? Perhaps a support character?

Luna, feeling Qiao Chuchu’s gaze, began to feel uneasy, her expression growing more timid: "Long time no see, Qiao Chu. You’ve become more beautiful."

Xia Xuechun looked at Luna in astonishment.

What?

So timid?

She had expected Luna to argue with Qiao Chuchu for a bit.

Qiao Chuchu was also surprised and said sarcastically: "You’re praising me? I thought you’d drag me into the girls’ bathroom and beat me up again!"

Luna frowned and suddenly felt a cold gaze upon her.

She looked up and gasped!

Pei Youchuan was sitting in the restaurant inside, separated by a transparent glass, his gaze cold and menacing, locking onto her.

He had one hand under his chin and the other on the table, tapping rhythmically.

It felt like he was counting.

Luna grew increasingly terrified and didn’t dare look at Pei Youchuan any longer. She quickly left: "I’m sorry, Qiao Chu, it was my fault before. I’m leaving now."

Qiao Chuchu was puzzled, watching Luna’s swift departure, feeling something was off. She then looked at Pei Youchuan.

Pei Youchuan had a calm expression, his gaze fixed on her.

There seemed to be anger in his eyes, but when he met Qiao Chuchu’s gaze, he smiled, showing his characteristic little canine tooth, like an innocent dog wagging its tail.

Qiao Chuchu: "……"

【Luna just looked like she’d seen a ghost. Was it because of Pei Youchuan?】

【Did Pei Youchuan do something to her?】
