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

Chapter 201



Qiao Chuchu cupped Qi Xiaojia’s face and said firmly, “You need to understand what would have happened to you if I hadn’t come.”

“Xia Xuechun didn’t hurt you this time, but she will definitely try again, and it will be even worse!”

“Being merciful to your enemy is being cruel to yourself. You need to think about this clearly!”

Qi Xiaojia listened intently. “Actually, I know why Xia Xuechun sent people to humiliate me.”

Qiao Chuchu: “?”

Qi Xiaojia continued, “That chair today was thrown at you by Xia Xuechun. She wanted to kill you, and I saw it. That’s why she tried to silence me with a private video.”

Qiao Chuchu: “??”

A hint of murderous intent flickered in Qi Xiaojia’s eyes, though she seemed utterly drained. “I really don’t care about money, but by locking that door, she essentially killed me. If you hadn’t come to rescue me, I would still be suffering humiliation and torment. Those videos could have spread everywhere, being ogled and enjoyed by all sorts of disgusting people…”

“I’m not a weak person, and I won’t let those who betray me get away with it.”

“So…”

A single tear rolled down Qi Xiaojia’s cheek, landing in Qiao Chuchu’s palm.

“I agree to your terms.”

Qiao Chuchu’s anxiety eased, and she gripped Qi Xiaojia’s hand. “I’ll arrange for your parents’ ICU fees to be covered for the next ten days, so you can rest assured.”

Because Qi Xiaojia’s parents would be out of the ICU in ten days, fully recovered and ready to leave the hospital.

Confident, Qiao Chuchu said, “Let’s work well together.”

The Pei Family was in an uproar because Qiao Chuchu had left without them.

Pei Buxian vented his frustration at Pei Youchuan, “Pei Youchuan, I gave you an hour, but you didn’t even bother to tell me you were leaving! You could’ve at least let me take over!”

Pei Youchuan turned to Lin Shen, “Lin Shen, you invited yourself over, and because of you, I left for ten minutes, and Qiao Chuchu disappeared!”

Pei Fengnong sipped Lin Shen’s porridge, “It’s really good. Lin Shen, how do you make it? Do you have a recipe?”

Lin Shen, lounging on the sofa, sneered, “I can’t believe I’ve been fooled by all of you for so many years. I thought we were all normal people, but you’re all liars! Hypocrites!”

Pei Mu and Pei Ci spoke in unison, “How did our gifts lose to Pei Youchuan’s bag? Our gifts were expensive!”

Pei Yuan frowned, “Why did Qiao Chuchu leave without us, and why didn’t she tell any of us?”

Pei Che looked at Pei Yuan, “I still can’t figure out how she knew your gift was special. Do you two have some secret code?”

Little Xie, standing in front of the eight men, thought to herself, “Help, they’re all talking over each other, and nothing they’re saying connects!”

Pei Yuan suddenly turned to Little Xie, “Did Qiao Chuchu tell you why she left without us?”

The living room fell silent.

All eyes turned sharply to Little Xie.

Little Xie: “…”

She was done for.

She felt like she was under a microscope!

On pins and needles!

With a lump in her throat!

She stammered, “N-no, she didn’t.”

Pei Yuan raised an eyebrow, seeing right through her, “Little Xie, I’m the one who pays your salary. Hiding things from your employer is grounds for dismissal. Do you want to be fired?”

Little Xie gasped, “Miss Qiao just said you all are a bit… clingy.”

The Pei brothers: “?”

Lin Shen suddenly perked up, “Oh?”

Little Xie felt increasingly guilty, “She thinks you all have too much pent-up energy and are too… affectionate, so she doesn’t like taking you with her.”

Lin Shen: “Pfft!”

The Pei Family: “…”

Little Xie lowered her head, trembling, “But please rest assured, she took three bodyguards with her. She said they’re tough and don’t talk much.”

The Pei Family: “…”

So they’re the ones who talk too much?!

Lin Shen was holding back laughter, his face turning red!

A car horn sounded outside.

Little Xie sighed in relief, “Miss Qiao is back!”

The Pei Family strode toward the entrance!

Qiao Chuchu stepped out of the car with Qi Xiaojia.

The seven men marched out in unison, “Qiao Chuchu!”

Qiao Chuchu was startled, “What?”

They opened their mouths to question her but then, remembering something, raised their heads proudly, “Nothing.”

Qiao Chuchu: “…”

[They called my name but didn’t say anything. Are they getting worse?]

The Pei Family: “?”

Getting worse?

What’s wrong with them?

Qiao Chuchu handed Qi Xiaojia over to Little Xie, “Take care of her. She’s just been through something traumatic.”

She then turned and walked toward her art studio.

The seven men, along with Lin Shen, followed her with long strides!

Qiao Chuchu felt a chill, “Why are you all following me?”

Pei Yuan’s face darkened, “We have nothing better to do.”

Pei Che adjusted his glasses and said cryptically, “Hmm.”

Pei Youchuan licked his canine tooth, “I’m usually very aloof. I’m tough and don’t talk much.”

Pei Mu and Pei Ci slung their arms over each other’s shoulders, grinning at her, “Chuchu, we brothers usually don’t talk much. We just like talking to you.”

Pei Buxian, holding his dog, followed her quietly and gloomily.

Qiao Chuchu: “…”

[So they still didn’t answer why they’re following me, and they’re just spouting nonsense. They really are clingy and talk too much.]

The Pei Family: “……???”

Lin Shen’s cheeks were aching from holding back his laughter!

Qiao Chuchu entered the studio and went straight to a painting.

The painting was covered with a white cloth, hiding its true appearance.

Pei Youchuan asked curiously, “What are you doing?”

Qiao Chuchu placed her hands on the frame, her voice filled with excitement, “There’s a charity auction tonight. I’ve already called to add one of my works to the lineup. I’ll be bringing this piece with me!”

[I originally wanted to bring a different painting, but after thinking it over, this one is the best to put Xia Xuechun in her place. Her paintings are done by a ghost artist, and as someone in the industry, I need to showcase my best work.]

They perked up their ears.

Put Xia Xuechun in her place?

Qiao Chuchu stroked the frame, pleased, “This painting is my masterpiece. I’ve poured my heart and soul into it.”

Their expressions changed as they looked at the painting on the wall.

Qiao Chuchu pulled off the white cloth!

Before them stood a magnificent black dragon!

It loomed from above, surrounded by mountains of jewels and crowns, its head piercing through dark clouds, exuding an overwhelming presence as it glared at a young girl in the center!

The girl held a sword that gleamed with a cold, sharp light, her back resolute and proud!

They were speechless, completely awestruck.

This… was her work?!

Qiao Chuchu’s eyes sparkled, “I’ve named it ‘The Dragon Slayer.’ It also hints that after slaying the dragon, the girl will gain power and wealth, becoming a dragon herself.”

She touched the protective glass over the painting, “This is the last piece I completed a few years ago, infused with all my love and effort. I’ve always been reluctant to show it to anyone, but today, it will meet its new owner.”

She turned to them, her lips curving into a confident smile.

“It will definitely be bought by someone who truly loves it. I’m sure of it.”

They were stunned, a shared thought rising in their minds, their eyes gleaming with determination.
