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

Qiao Chuchu was overjoyed.

["I can't believe it exceeded the budget by so much! I thought it would cap at eight million at most!"]

["It seems someone with good taste has bought my painting!~"]

She provocatively glanced at Long Yuntian: "Thank you for your blessings, Uncle Long Yuntian. My painting has already surpassed ten million. Do you have any more blessings to offer? I feel like your words have a certain... luck to them."

Long Yuntian's eyelid twitched, his already foul mood worsening: "You call me Uncle? I recall you addressing Weisheng Wenzhan as 'brother.'"

Qiao Chuchu sneered: "Weisheng Wenzhan is five years younger than you. He's forty-four, while you're already forty-nine. Plus, he takes care of himself like a celebrity and doesn't look old. You, on the other hand..."

She shamelessly covered her nose: "You look dirty and smelly."

Long Yuntian's eyes widened: "You—"

"You were just telling Xia Xuechun to calm down. You should calm down too," Qiao Chuchu pointed to the two bodyguards behind her. "Otherwise, my bodyguards won't care if you're from the Dragon Family or the Horse Family. They'll just toss you out."

Long Yuntian froze, pinching his thigh to calm himself: "It seems Miss Qiao doesn't like me very much."

"Oh, I do," Qiao Chuchu said with a flat expression. "I like targeting you. I like watching you get so angry you might have a stroke. I like seeing you meet a miserable end."

Long Yuntian: "!!"

Qiao Chuchu looked at him mockingly: "What can you do to me?"

Long Yuntian opened his mouth, furious, but clutched his chest, glaring at her with restraint.

["Oh, looks like he's about to have a heart attack~"]

Qiao Chuchu grew even more delighted, taunting him fearlessly: "What. Can. You. Do. To. Me?"

Long Yuntian collapsed to the ground!!

Xia Xuechun screamed: "Brother Long!!"

The auctioneer, startled, looked toward the VIP section and paused the auction: "Security, please check on the guest!"

Qiao Chuchu stood up, looking down at Long Yuntian, who was clutching his chest in pain, and smirked: "Bodyguards."

Pei Ci and Pei Mu responded: "Yes, Miss."

Qiao Chuchu leaned in and whispered: "While it's chaotic, crush that thing between his legs."

Pei Mu: "?"

Pei Ci: "?"

The Pei family watching the video: "?"

Lin Shen: "?"

Qiao Chuchu looked down at Long Yuntian with disdain.

["In the previous timeline, Long Yuntian and Long Yunxiao tried to assault me, leering at me with disgusting smiles."]

["Xia Xuechun is no good, and these two brothers are even worse."]

["Xia Xuechun's fate will be tragic."]

["But I want these two brothers to suffer even more!"]

Pei Ci's killing intent surged, and he rushed toward Long Yuntian: "Are you okay, Mr. Long?!"

He "accidentally" tripped and stomped hard on Long Yuntian's crotch!

Long Yuntian: "AHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Pei Mu quickly pushed Pei Ci aside: "Mr. Long, are you alright?!"

He took advantage of the chaos to stomp several more times!!

Long Yuntian's face turned beet red, unsure whether to clutch his heart or his injured area!

More and more people crowded around!

Even several men joined in.

One of them, wearing a cap with platinum blond hair, cried out: "Mr. Long!!"

And then kicked him right between the legs!!

Qiao Chuchu was even pushed aside by the crowd, feeling like Long Yuntian was being swarmed!

["What’s with all these people?! How am I supposed to enjoy the show??"]

In the chaos, Long Yuntian felt like he was being kicked and stomped on repeatedly, almost passing out from the pain!

It felt like some people were taking out their anger on him!

They were trying to kill him!

Xia Xuechun, oblivious, gave him heart medicine: "Brother, are you okay?!"

Long Yuntian quickly took the medicine but cried out in pain!

No!

He wasn’t okay!

He was in agony!

Qiao Chuchu peeked through the crowd, mocking him: "All that abalone and shark fin you’ve been eating has given you high blood pressure and high cholesterol, hasn’t it?~"

Long Yuntian opened his tear-filled eyes and glared at Qiao Chuchu!

Suddenly, the platinum-blond man in the cap kicked him again!

And stomped on his crotch once more!

Long Yuntian: "AHHH!!!"

The others, who had been concerned, grew annoyed: "Why are you screaming so much? Can’t you calm down? It’s so loud."

Long Yuntian: "..."

It wasn’t him being loud!

He was being targeted!!

He gritted his teeth and looked at Qiao Chuchu, only to widen his eyes in shock!

Qiao Chuchu stood in the center, with the entire Pei family behind her!

Even the two bodyguards took off their sunglasses, revealing identical twin faces, grinning menacingly at him.

Long Yuntian blinked hard, thinking he was hallucinating!

It really was the Pei family!

They all stood behind Qiao Chuchu, glaring at him with murderous intent!

Xia Xuechun, seeing Long Yuntian’s pale face, pleaded with the guests: "Qiao Chuchu deliberately provoked Brother Long into a heart attack! She called him old!!"

The guests paused.

They exchanged knowing glances.

They thought of something amusing and struggled to suppress their smiles.

Finally, someone burst out laughing: "Pfft..."

One person said: "Well, he is pretty old."

This comment set off a wave of laughter among the guests: "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!"

Xia Xuechun’s mouth twitched as she turned to Qiao Chuchu: "Qiao Chuchu, are you proud of yourself for bullying a sick man?!"

Qi Xiaojia suddenly shouted: "And what about you locking your best friend in a room and letting a group of strange men assault her?! Are you any better?!!"

Xia Xuechun: "?!"

Long Yuntian: "?!"

They both looked toward the entrance.

Qi Xiaojia, her clothes torn and tattered, stumbled in, her face bruised from being beaten.

Xia Xuechun turned pale, standing up in disbelief as she stared at Qi Xiaojia.

Qi ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‍Xiaojia wrapped herself in a wool coat, trembling as she spoke: "The artist you see before you, Xia Xuechun, had several men ambush me in my home, locked me inside, and let them assault me. All because I witnessed her trying to kill Qiao Chuchu! She wanted to silence me with a video!!"

The guests gasped, turning their shocked gazes toward Xia Xuechun.

Xia Xuechun hunched over, panic written all over her face: "Qi Xiaojia... why are you here?"

"I saved her," Qiao Chuchu stepped in front of Xia Xuechun. "And I brought her here."

Xia Xuechun stiffened, staring at Qiao Chuchu in disbelief: "You?"

Qiao Chuchu nodded, pulling out her phone and playing a recording—

A panicked male voice came through: "Yes, I’m Xia Xuechun’s ghost painter. The painting she sold today was done by me!"

"Xia Xuechun can’t paint at all. She paid me to paint for her, and her taste is so tacky! She kept forcing me to revise the work to her liking. I had no choice—I need to make a living!"

Xia Xuechun’s eyes widened in terror!

What?!

Her ghost painter had been exposed too?!

Qiao Chuchu locked her phone and addressed the guests: "The truth is, Xia Xuechun can’t paint at all. The reason her work sold for one and a half million is because she hired a ghost painter and had her own people inflate the price to boost her reputation."

"Not only that, she betrayed her friend, had men ambush her friend’s home, and locked her friend inside, nearly leading to her assault."

Her voice rose: "This is the kind of liar and criminal that Long Yuntian of the Dragon Family and Madam Wang Ru Tang have been supporting!"

Wang Ru Tang: "?!"

Long Yuntian: "..."

Qiao Chuchu held up her phone, showing everyone photos of Xia Xuechun and Long Yuntian kissing!

"Xia Xuechun claims to be his sister, but she’s been intimately involved with Long Yuntian!"

"So today, I, Qiao Chuchu, am serving you all a big scandal, exposing the hypocrisy of Xia Xuechun, Long Yuntian, and Wang Ru Tang!"

She grabbed Xia Xuechun’s wrist and pulled her closer: "Xia Xuechun, you wanted to go viral and have your name known throughout the entire art world, right?"

Xia Xuechun stared at her, speechless with fear.

Qiao Chuchu’s lips curled into a triumphant smile: "Let me help you with that."
