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

Chapter 6

Just then, Pei Yuan's phone rang.

[Mr. Pei, the banquet starts in an hour. Should I come pick you up?]

Pei Yuan frowned: "The banquet is about to begin, let's hurry and change clothes."

Qiao Chuchu: "? Banquet."

Lin Qing enthusiastically put her arm around her shoulders: "Little Chuchu, don't tell me you didn't know? Today is Old Mr. Zhao's birthday banquet, we all need to attend."

Qiao Chuchu remembered.

How could she have forgotten Grandpa Zhao's birthday banquet?

The Zhao family was one of the prominent families in Lan City, and Grandpa Zhao had always been very caring towards her since she was little, being a kind elder.

But for the sake of causing drama, she had deliberately chosen to attempt suicide two hours before Grandpa Zhao's birthday banquet, causing not only her brothers to miss the event but also shocking Grandpa Zhao with news of her suicide attempt on his birthday, dealing him quite a blow.

She had been led by the nose by the system for so many years, completely conditioned by it.

Every day she only thought about how to complete tasks, completely forgetting about the harm she caused to those around her.

Qiao Chuchu looked guiltily at Pei Yuan and the others.

[I almost caused my family to miss Grandpa Zhao's banquet.]

Her brothers looked at her in surprise.

Qiao Chuchu lowered her head: [It's strange, now I feel like I can save my family's fate, even though I haven't done anything.]

The eight people, including Lin Qing, awkwardly looked away upon hearing this.

No, she had done plenty.

Lin Qing hugged Qiao Chuchu and said cheerfully: "Let me borrow your stylist, and lend me your dress too, I probably won't have time for mine."

Qiao Chuchu felt a bit awkward: "But I don't have a dress."

Pei Yuan: "No, you do."

Qiao Chuchu: "?"

Pei Yuan looked down at her: "Old Mr. Zhao specifically asked for you to come, I've prepared the gift for you, and the dresses too. I prepared several - as long as you haven't gained weight, they should fit perfectly."

Qiao Chuchu was stunned.

Pei Yuan even knew her size?

The system had never revealed such details.

Lin Qing beamed: "That's great, I'll borrow one of Chuchu's dresses."

Pei Youchuan standing nearby showed his disapproval: "Not lending to you."

Lin Qing's smile instantly vanished: "Pei Third, are you asking for trouble?"

Pei Youchuan remained unfazed and retorted: "Lin Qing, don't forget, you chose love over friendship first. I was your best friend, but after you got together with Ji Yanchuan, you completely ignored me. Now you come looking for us again? I'm not having it!"

Lin Qing's breath caught, hit right where it hurt, her eyes immediately turning red.

But she quickly averted her gaze, and the thick-headed Pei Youchuan didn't notice at all, even continuing to grumble with his arms crossed.

"You toss your friend aside when dating, then pick me back up when you're not. Am I just a dog in your eyes?"

Lin Qing felt a lump in her throat, guilt and sadness surging up together, leaving her unable to argue back. She could only mumble: "Alright, I get it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Chuchu jumped up like a leopard and gave Pei Youchuan a smack: "Shut up!!"

Qiao Chuchu was 1.6 meters tall, while Pei Youchuan was 1.91 meters.

She jumped up like a little bean, treating Pei Youchuan's head like a basketball hoop!

Pei Youchuan held the back of his head, completely bewildered: "Qiao Chuchu, what are you doing!"

Qiao Chuchu turned and hugged Lin Qing, "I'm willing to lend my dress to Sister Lin Qing! What's it to you!"

Pei Youchuan was stunned.

The sixth Pei brother was dumbfounded: "My goodness, so Qiao Chuchu has to jump to reach Third Brother's head?"

The other brothers were equally shocked: "That was intense, like watching a kitten jump up to hit a tiger."

Qiao Chuchu really was like a cat asserting its dominance, pursing her lips hostilely at Pei Youchuan: "Pei Youchuan, if you had a girlfriend, would you be okay with her having a really close male friend?"

Pei Youchuan was taken aback.

Qiao Chuchu continued: "If I had a boyfriend, would you be okay with him having a female friend who's closer to him than I am?"

Pei Youchuan answered without thinking: "I'd break that guy's legs!"

Qiao Chuchu nodded approvingly: "See, you wouldn't accept it either."

Pei Youchuan fumed: "The reason I can't accept it is because someone would dare to date you - I'll break the legs of anyone who tries to date you!"

Qiao Chuchu: "...Huh?"

Pei Youchuan didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said, and awkwardly looked at Lin Qing: "I was too harsh earlier, I'm sorry."

Lin Qing's eyes widened!

To think this stubborn mule Pei Youchuan would actually apologize after just a few words from Qiao Chuchu?!

This was the same guy who, when cornered in the bathroom by senior students in his youth, got kicked until his face was bloody but still wouldn't beg for mercy - he even took a mouthful of toilet water and spat it in the senior's face!

Lin Qing looked at Qiao Chuchu in shock, "This stubborn mule must have saved the galaxy in his past life to have such a sweet sister like you."

Qiao Chuchu was confused, and got another kiss from Lin Qing!

Lin Qing's eyes sparkled: "Thank you for speaking up for me, sister will look after you from now on!"

Chuchu was puzzled: "How will you look after me?"

Lin Qing grinned mischievously: "My family owns a media company, we have several popular young actors signed with us, I can introduce you to them."

Qiao Chuchu grabbed Lin Qing's hand: "Then please definitely look after me, sister!"

Lin Qing laughed heartily.

Pei Yuan pulled Qiao Chuchu away with a dark face: "Don't embarrass our Pei family at the banquet later, understood?"

Qiao Chuchu regained her composure, nodded, feeling a bit worried.

[According to the plot, many things will happen at the banquet, but in the original script, neither I nor my brothers were there - it was just the male lead, female lead, and the second female lead Sister Lin Qing. I don't know what will happen now with our intervention.]

A dark gleam flashed in Lin Qing's eyes as she said to Pei Yuan: "Big Brother Pei, can we talk?"

Pei Yuan nodded, instructing Qiao Chuchu: "At the gathering later, besides not talking nonsense, remember to stay away from the Lou father and son."

Qiao Chuchu became interested.

Oh right, today was the debut of the Lou father and son - the big psycho and little psycho!

These two were the characters she most wanted to meet besides the male and female leads and the second female lead!

Qiao Chuchu couldn't help but get excited!

She was really looking forward to the appearance of these psychopathic antagonists!

-

In the banquet hall before the official start, Lou Tingsi was lazily playing with a lighter on the sofa.

Light, extinguish, light, extinguish.

Beside him, Lou Yuejue wore a gloomy expression, his bored gaze sweeping across the room: "Dad, when are we leaving here?"

Lou Tingsi checked his watch: "In two hours. Be good and stay put. There are several boys over there, you can go play with them."

Lou Yuejue glanced at the young boys playing with their phones and rolled his eyes: "I'm not interested in people my age."

Lou Tingsi stopped paying attention to him and went to chat with others, gradually walking away.

Lou Yuejue sighed in boredom, his gaze freezing on one spot.

Qiao Chuchu entered the banquet hall wearing a powder pink puffy formal dress, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Lou Yuejue stared in a daze.

He watched the delicate young girl bathed in light, dimples appearing when she smiled, her eyes as bright as stars.

He mumbled absurdly: "Is she... a fairy?"
