Ah! The Villains I Forced to Turn Evil Can Read My Mind-Chapter 95: We have changed, but we don’t say it, maybe we just want to live in a daze

Qiao Chuchu said, "Second brother just gave it to me. He said it suits me."

Pei Yuan's face immediately darkened. "Did he tell you how much it cost?"

She scratched her head. "Over 100 million. I’m not sure about the exact amount."

Pei Yuan’s expression fell instantly.

In the video conference, someone called his name: "Mr. Pei? Mr. Pei??"

Pei Yuan frowned, seeing that everyone in the conference room was waiting for him to speak. He took a deep breath and then said to Qiao Chuchu, "Come by again tonight. My room has a bed for a caregiver; you can stay here."

Qiao Chuchu thought she misheard. "I have to stay with you?"

Pei Yuan’s eyes darkened, and he weakly coughed. "When I was sick before, you stayed with me. Don’t you want to now?"

He lowered his lashes, and there was a hint of loneliness in his tone. "Lately, I’ve been alone here."

Qiao Chuchu suddenly felt guilty. "Don’t say that. I’ll stay with you."

She quickly turned and left. "You go ahead and finish the meeting. I’ll come back after."

Pei Yuan’s gaze lingered on her retreating figure. He unmuted the microphone, his voice turning cold. "Continue."

He then picked up his phone and sent a message to Pei Che: "That day, I saw you making several calls to have someone bring this ring from abroad. I thought you were going to give it to someone. Turns out, it’s for Qiao Chuchu."

Pei Che quickly replied: "Stop being sarcastic. Pei Bu Xian is right in front of me, going crazy. He’s about to start breaking things."

"Oh, really?" Pei Yuan coldly smirked. "Then tell Pei Bu Xian, he can break anything. I’ll reimburse him."

Pei Che: "Big brother, when did you become so possessive?"

Pei Yuan: "When did second brother start hiding things from me? We’ve never kept secrets when it comes to giving gifts to Qiao Chuchu."

Pei Che: "I didn’t hide anything. I gave it to her openly, and you all saw it, didn’t you?"

Pei Yuan: "?"

—

Qiao Chuchu finished her call with the driver in the hallway and scratched her head.

She felt that ever since she moved back, her relationship with her brothers had changed. It was becoming more and more confusing.

She hoped it wasn’t just her being too sensitive.

Suddenly, Grandma Zhang appeared out of nowhere, walking up to her. "Qiao Chuchu, aren’t you ashamed of having your brother pretend to be your husband?"

Qiao Chuchu froze in surprise. "Why are you here?"

Grandma Zhang pointed towards the other side of the hallway with disdain. "My hospital room is right there."

Qiao Chuchu looked at the room, not particularly surprised.

Her flat was in an upper-middle-class neighborhood, and Grandma Zhang lived on the floor above her. Of course, they were wealthy.

But the Zhang family had a reputation for poor morals.

Her eldest son was the CEO of a large group, and he had many mistresses, some of whom even showed up pregnant and provocatively confronted his wife.

His wife was furious and wanted a divorce right then and there, yelling and pulling at her son’s hair.

Grandma Zhang defended her son, claiming that as long as he had money, he could live freely.

Qiao Chuchu didn’t like the entire Zhang family and wasn’t about to be polite. "Are you done? You can leave now."

Grandma Zhang didn’t seem to want to leave, coldly snorting. "Having your brother pretend to be your husband in front of me, do you think your mother knows how shameless you are?"

Qiao Chuchu’s face darkened immediately. "You say another word about my mother?"

Grandma Zhang mocked her, giving her a once-over. "I didn’t say anything about your mother. I’m just saying you have no shame, calling me an elder while yelling at me."

Qiao Chuchu opened her mouth to scold back, but before she could speak, Pei Yuan, who had apparently come out of the hospital room, suddenly grabbed her hand!

She looked at him in confusion. "What’s going on?!"

Pei Yuan calmly asked Grandma Zhang, "I recognize you. Are you the mother of Zhang, the CEO of Feiyang Group?"

Grandma Zhang raised her chin smugly, a proud smile curling her lips. "You have sharp eyes. Yes, Zhang, the CEO of Feiyang Group, is my eldest son."

Qiao Chuchu was puzzled. "What? Is her son our business partner?"

Pei Yuan smiled and took her hand. "No, he doesn’t deserve it."

Qiao Chuchu: "?"

Grandma Zhang: "?"

Pei Yuan glanced at Grandma Zhang. "Your eldest son recently talked non-stop in front of me about his new plan, spent a whole hour, hoping I’d invest in him."

"I did some research. His company isn’t doing well, the cash flow is tight, and he urgently needs money."

Pei Yuan smirked. "I was still considering it, but maybe I should just reply to him now."

Grandma Zhang’s smile faltered as she rolled her eyes. "You’re just boasting. How could my son ask for help from someone so young?"

"I’m Pei Yuan." Pei Yuan’s smile turned cold, a hidden pressure radiating from him. "In the luxury circles of Lan City, only my brothers and I are named Pei. If you haven’t heard of me, maybe it’s because your family isn’t in the same league."

Grandma Zhang froze, her eyebrows knitting in caution.

But she still didn’t know who Pei Yuan was.

She still felt like he was exaggerating.

Pei Yuan didn’t rush to respond. Instead, he calmly continued. "Your son is quite impressive. He was drinking with my subordinates until he got a stomach bleed, just to meet me and beg for investment. He even bought me a rare collectible jade, but what a waste."

Grandma Zhang choked. "What do you mean?"

Pei Yuan didn’t answer her. Instead, he found a number in his phone. "This is your son’s number, right?"

Grandma Zhang’s face changed slightly, fear creeping into her expression. "W-What are you going to do?!"

Pei Yuan smirked, dialed the number, and spoke casually. "Mr. Zhang, this is Pei Yuan. About the proposal you discussed with me, I don’t think it’s a good idea."

The other party seemed to eagerly ask something.

Pei Yuan’s tone was indifferent. "Your mother insulted my sister, said she was raised without a mother, and stepped on her head as an elder."

He squinted, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "In Lan City, there are very few families who can be considered our elders. It seems like your family is one I’ve never heard of. So, we don’t need to offer you any assistance. I’ll let all my partners know about this good news. I’m looking forward to the day your Zhang family steps on our Pei family. That’s all."

Without waiting for the other party to respond, Pei Yuan hung up, giving Grandma Zhang a slight smile.

Grandma Zhang’s phone suddenly rang.

She looked confused as she answered the call, and the other end immediately exploded with anger. "Are you out of your mind?! You dare offend the Pei family?! You’ve ruined everything I worked for!!! You want to kill me?!! I had to nearly drink myself to death just to meet him, and now it’s all ruined!!! Ruined!!!"

Grandma Zhang’s face turned pale, trembling as she looked at Pei Yuan.

Pei Yuan smiled faintly and put his arm around Qiao Chuchu’s shoulders. "Let’s go, eighth sister. Let’s go pick out your New Year’s gift."

Qiao Chuchu obediently followed him, her hands pressed to her chest, stars gleaming in her eyes!

[Big brother is so cool!!!]
