Ah! The Villains I Forced to Turn Evil Can Read My Mind-Chapter 88: I can’t live this day, and I’ll go abroad when I get to the finale

The more Qiao Chuchu thought about it, the more resentful she became: “Fine, you remember to drink it. I’m leaving.”

[I'll find a place to squat, at least stay here for a day. This is the most dangerous time, because Pei Yuan will definitely run into Xia Xuechun.]

She pouted inwardly, sarcastically thinking: [Because when Pei Yuan is at his most vulnerable, Xia Xuechun is like a little sun, with her love~ with her heart~ with her radiant smile, healing the wounds I’ve caused to Pei Yuan’s heart~~]

[But according to the original timeline, by now my seventh day is over, Pei Yuan’s urgent condition sends him to the hospital, where he’ll run into Xia Xuechun, who’s substituting for her mom as a cleaner.]

Qiao Chuchu stomped to the door, but still remembered to gently close it, [She acts so prideful, but the moment Xia Xuechun smiles at him, he loses his mind. He’s just a love-stricken fool!]

Pei Yuan: “?????”

Love-stricken fool?

He chuckled in anger.

The Pei family had eight people, and 797 eyes between them.

Pei Youchuan had one, and Qiao Chuchu had two.

He couldn’t possibly be the love-stricken fool.

He grabbed his phone and opened the message Pei Youchuan sent: "I sent you so many voice messages, why didn’t you reply?"

He typed: “Qiao Chuchu came to see me, made me chicken soup, and now I’m going to eat.”

Pei Youchuan: “?”

Pei Youchuan sent a sticker.

Pei Yuan’s mood improved instantly, and he grabbed the thermos to find Qiao Chuchu.

—

Qiao Chuchu sat gloomily in the recovery greenhouse.

This was the indoor garden of the Pei family’s hospital, meant for patients who couldn’t go outside during the winter to enjoy the scenery and help with their recovery.

She sighed, feeling utterly down.

[Clearly living a life where I have everything, yet ending up as the family’s least liked.]

[I’ve shared the good times, and also the tough times. My family and I have faced all kinds of disasters together. Finally, after enduring it all, just when things seemed perfect, I’m forced to tear apart the cards I’ve been dealt, leaving a mess for me to clean up. Now everyone avoids me like the plague.]

She closed her eyes in exhaustion, leaning back in her chair.

[Forget it, once I survive to the ending, and make sure they avoid the death line, I’ll go abroad. Anywhere will do. I'll pretend to be dead, never coming back.]

Pei Yuan stood behind her, holding the thermos, his expression a little melancholic.

He knew Qiao Chuchu was forced into this situation.

But he still couldn’t casually accept her.

Meanwhile, Pei Che, in his white coat, walked past the greenhouse.

His phone dinged: "Chairman, Miss Qiao is here at the hospital. I saw her sitting alone in the greenhouse garden just now. She’s probably here to see Mr. Pei Yuan."

Pei Che: “...”

Wasn’t her relationship with them bad?

She was actually so concerned about his big brother and made a special trip over.

Pei Che put his phone away, glancing casually to the side, narrowing his eyes.

That’s... Qiao Chuchu and Pei Yuan?

Qiao Chuchu was bored, glancing around before her gaze fixed on something.

An elderly lady in a qipao was smiling and talking to a familiar figure.

Xia Xuechun, wearing a khaki-colored cleaner’s uniform, with a playful ponytail and a natural face, was cheerfully handing an elderly lady a thermos: “Grandma Zhang, this is the chicken soup I personally made for you. I simmered it for four hours. Try it, it’ll help with your qi and blood!”

Grandma Zhang’s eyes squinted with a smile as she affectionately touched Xia Xuechun’s face: “Xuechun, you’re such a sweet girl. I’d love to have you marry into our family if my five sons weren’t already married. You’d be perfect!”

Xia Xuechun blushed, “Grandma, you’re too kind!”

Qiao Chuchu laughed, dismissing it with a sneer.

[An old lady praising you for being good at cooking and hoping to marry you is not because she likes you, but because she likes that you can cook, that you’ll cook for her, cook for her sons, cook for her whole family.]

Xia Xuechun seemed to sense Qiao Chuchu’s presence. She turned around in surprise: “Qiao Chuchu?”

Grandma Zhang turned to look, and her smile immediately faltered.

Qiao Chuchu casually crossed her ankle over her knee, sitting across from them like an old man: “Hey~”

Xia Xuechun scoffed, “Come to find your brother? Where is he? Not talking to you again?”

Qiao Chuchu replied seriously, “No, I’m here to accompany my husband for a vasectomy.”

Xia Xuechun: “?”

Pei Yuan: “?”

Pei Che: “?”

Grandma Zhang laughed, “Qiao Chuchu, it’s been a long time. You haven’t changed a bit, still so rude.”

Xia Xuechun was surprised: “Do you know Qiao Chuchu?”

Grandma Zhang nodded. “Yes, she’s my downstairs neighbor. We’ve met a few times.”

She added with a meaningful tone, “I’ve also met her... brothers.”

Pei Yuan: “?”

The elderly lady must be referring to the building where Qiao Chuchu had lived in recent years.

Because of their falling out over the years, the deliveries were handled by drivers, so he and his younger brothers had never visited Qiao Chuchu.

Who could these "brothers" be from Qiao Chuchu’s building?

Pei Yuan stared suspiciously at Qiao Chuchu’s back.

Qiao Chuchu remained arrogantly smug: [Ha, just when I’m fuming with no place to vent, you two ran into me. You’ve kicked the electric door!!]

She raised her chin at the elderly lady: “My big brother asked me to pass on his New Year greetings to you. How’s your New Year?”

Grandma Zhang frowned, about to speak when Qiao Chuchu cut her off: “I guess you’re not doing too well, otherwise, you wouldn’t be talking to a stranger like Xia Xuechun, but to your sons and grandsons.”

Xia Xuechun furrowed her brows, standing up angrily: “Qiao Chuchu, don’t insult Grandma Zhang! She’s a good person!”

“Good person?” Qiao Chuchu smirked meaningfully. “She has five sons, five daughters-in-law, three of whom are divorced. The family only has two daughters-in-law left—one who had a son and is rich, and one who had a daughter and is ordinary. Guess who’s the one kneeling on the floor to clean her floors?”

Grandma Zhang scowled, “Well, she should be cleaning, she’s my daughter-in-law, what does it have to do with you?”

Qiao Chuchu grinned with ease: “Xia Xuechun, see that? If you go to her house with no money, no power, and no sons, you’ll be the one on your knees scrubbing the floors, and not only that, you’ll be making chicken soup, washing her feet, and doing all the work for her!”

Xia Xuechun: “I’m okay with that.”

?

Qiao Chuchu thought she heard wrong: “You’re okay with that? What about your mom?”

Xia Xuechun sneered, curling her lips: “Qiao Chuchu, it’s a daughter-in-law’s duty to care for the elders. I’m a daughter-in-law, it’s my job, don’t you think you should do the same? Besides, I prefer boys. I don’t favor boys over girls, but I think boys are more lively. I want to have a son, there’s nothing wrong with liking boys. Your family is full of brothers, right?”

Qiao Chuchu immediately shot back: “Don’t compare my mom to yours. My mom’s from a wealthy family, her intentions are clear—she just wants more heirs to compete for the family business! She never cared about gender, only about the child’s ability. Having all boys is just a coincidence with my dad’s genes, it has nothing to do with my mom!”

Xia Xuechun was momentarily stunned, unable to respond.

Qiao Chuchu rolled her eyes in disdain: “You don’t even deserve to mention my mom.”

Pei Che smirked and walked toward Qiao Chuchu.

Pei Yuan also moved toward her.

Qiao Chuchu, busy fuming, didn’t even notice when both Pei Yuan and Pei Che sat next to her.
