Ah! The Villains I Forced to Turn Evil Can Read My Mind-Chapter 90: If she wants to live such a life, unless Qiao Chuchu is dead

In the dead silence, Grandma Zhang looked at Qiao Chuchu with a gaze full of mixed meanings.

Several times, she seemed about to speak but stopped herself, her words left hanging.

There seemed to be a mix of admiration, disgust, and other emotions tangled together, making her expression quite complicated.

Qiao Chuchu, with a face as pale as death: [... I’d better leave, I can’t stand staying in a world like this for even a second.]

She gritted her teeth and stood up. “Let’s go, I’ve been sitting here long enough, I’m going to rest.”

Pei Yuan and Pei Che stood up simultaneously, flanking Qiao Chuchu on either side.

Pei Bu Xian, holding a laptop, followed them like a subordinate.

Grandma Zhang waited until Qiao Chuchu was out of her sight before she spoke: “This girl, seven men, she has two hands, and it’s not even enough to hold all of them, she’d need seven hands to manage.”

“That’s not it.” Xia Xuechun, looking displeased, glanced at Qiao Chuchu’s back: “Those are her seven brothers.”

Grandma Zhang seemed to have heard a thunderclap: “What?! Then why did she say they were her seven husbands?”

Xia Xuechun’s face dropped in frustration: “They were just talking nonsense, trying to provoke you. How could seven men be willing to share one woman? Qiao Chuchu isn’t some fairy.”

Grandma Zhang gradually came to her senses and smiled disdainfully: “Ha, nowadays, young people...”

She kept talking, but Xia Xuechun didn’t hear a word.

She was staring intently at the backs of Qiao Chuchu and the three men.

Pei Yuan, dressed in light blue hospital clothes, stood on Qiao Chuchu’s left, while Pei Che, in a white coat, stood on her right. Both were leisurely strolling, flanking the petite Qiao Chuchu between them.

They looked like two handsome bodyguards protecting their little sister, causing passersby to stare.

Pei Bu Xian quickly walked a few steps ahead to squeeze past Pei Che, insisting on standing by Qiao Chuchu’s side.

Pei Che cast a cold glance at his younger brother before turning his attention back to Qiao Chuchu for a moment, then shifted his gaze.

The scene was incredibly warm and harmonious.

Especially when she knew that this big hospital belonged to the Pei family, and Qiao Chuchu’s monthly income was over 200k, this scene gave a sense that the three of them didn’t know the hardships of life, didn’t worry about food and daily necessities, only troubled by emotional conflicts—a sense of happiness.

Xia Xuechun felt a pang of bitterness in her heart, and her tone became heavy: “Grandma Zhang, I’m going to work.”

Grandma Zhang, puzzled, asked, “Why do you look so down? Did Qiao Chuchu upset you?”

“No.” Xia Xuechun rubbed her palms, murmuring to herself, “I’m just a little sad.”

After Brother Jiahao’s death, she had a very vivid dream.

In the dream, Qiao Chuchu had died. She was standing next to the seven Pei brothers, comforting their broken hearts, being held in their hands, cherished just like Qiao Chuchu.

Moreover, in the dream, Pei Bu Xian, the youngest of the Pei family, choked up in front of her, saying, “You’re just like my sister, both have that unyielding spirit. Every time I see you, I think of her.”

The dream felt so real.

When she woke up, it took her a while to recover, and just thinking about those warm moments in the dream made her smile.

But the things in the dream were impossible.

Because Qiao Chuchu couldn’t possibly die.

Xia Xuechun stared at Qiao Chuchu’s back, sorrowfully revisiting that thought in her mind.

If she wanted to live a life like that,

It could only happen if Qiao Chuchu died.

—

Qiao Chuchu struggled for a long time to free herself from the three brothers.

In order to escape, she used every trick she knew, said countless things, and just when she thought her mouth would fall off from talking—

It was time for Pei Yuan’s IV drip.

Pei Che had work reports to review.

Pei Bu Xian suddenly had a burst of inspiration, so he stayed in Pei Yuan’s hospital room to write.

Although these three letting her go had nothing to do with her, she was still happy.

Because Xia Xuechun’s main plotline hadn’t even started yet.

Qiao Chuchu hurriedly headed toward Xia Xuechun’s storyline starting point.

Pei Bu Xian, sneaking behind, held his phone.

He had already noticed Qiao Chuchu was up to something, so he found an excuse to give her a stage to let her play freely.

Pei Bu Xian typed in the group chat: “@Pei Yuan @Pei Che I’m tracking Qiao Chuchu now.”

Lin Qing: “? Another plot?”

Lin Shen: “Did Qiao Chuchu come back? Why didn’t she tell me?”

Pei Fengnong: “Why don’t we just do a video call? Let everyone hear her inner thoughts.”

Without saying another word, Pei Bu Xian initiated a group video call, put on his earphones, and looked like a spy.

The available members quickly joined the call.

Lin Qing’s vibrant face appeared first on the screen: “Can Qiao Chuchu’s inner thoughts really be transmitted through video? If not, I’m leaving.”

Everyone in the video nodded.

Lin Qing couldn’t help but laugh: “Pei Yuan, it seems like the old you has already developed feelings for Xia Xuechun. What do you think now that you hear this news?”

Pei Yuan shot her a glance: “It feels disgusting.”

Lin Qing laughed out loud.

Qiao Chuchu, walking ahead, was seriously thinking: [Big brother Pei Yuan has gradually developed feelings for Xia Xuechun after spending time with her in the hospital, and he’s gotten several handmade art pieces from her.]

[Since Pei Yuan hasn’t received any handmade art from her yet, his feelings for Xia Xuechun probably haven’t reached the right level, which means the subplot hasn’t been triggered yet. Safe for now.]

[But things must continue. Next is Pei Che’s subplot.]

Lin Shen, curious: “Why hasn’t Pei Che joined the video call?”

Pei Bu Xian answered: “Second brother’s working, he went to sign some papers, no time for a video call. He’ll probably join later.”

Qiao Chuchu, still unaware, was thinking ahead: [Xia Xuechun, being a cleaner, meets Pei Che after an argument with another cleaner while cleaning the stairs, and accidentally falls. She ends up in Pei Che’s office, where he helps her and treats her sprained ankle, leaving the door open, which Pei Yuan sees, and the two men start competing.]

Lin Qing, stifling laughter, looked at Pei Yuan: “Pei Yuan, looks like you’ve developed a lot of jealousy, seeing Pei Che kneel and treat Xia Xuechun’s injury, are you upset?”

Pei Yuan: “......”

Pei Fengnong smirked, lounging in his office chair: “Big brother is indeed quite jealous.”

Pei Yuan: “......”

Lin Shen didn’t agree: “I think all seven of you brothers are pretty jealous. I remember when Qiao Chuchu was in kindergarten and another boy kissed her, and she came back to share it with you all, you were so angry you couldn’t sleep the whole night, and the next day you scared the boy into crying.”

Pei Fengnong: “......”

Pei Yuan: “......”

Pei Bu Xian: “......”

Lin Qing: “Bro, if you don’t have the mind to speak, don’t blurt out the truth, it’ll get you kicked out of the group. I suggest you shut up.”

Lin Shen: “?”
