Ah! The Villains I Forced to Turn Evil Can Read My Mind-Chapter 156: Qiao Chuchu: It’s okay, I won’t let Rayla succeed

Qiao Chuchu was curled up on the sofa at the art exhibition, scrolling through videos, waiting for Pei Yuan and the others to come find her.

Rila stood behind her, looking up at the camera facing Qiao Chuchu: "Miss Qiao."

Seeing it was her, Qiao Chuchu relaxed: "Madam Rila?"

Rila smiled and sat down next to her, speaking in English: "I sincerely invite you to come to my home as a model in three days."

Qiao Chuchu: "?"

A model?

A contorted model?

She became wary: "Why me?"

"You’re too beautiful." Rila studied her carefully: "I want to take your photos, then let my husband paint you. Together, we’ll create a perfect piece of art for you, but don’t tell your family."

"Just you?" Rila winked playfully at her: "When the work is done, I’ll have your photo published in a magazine and surprise your family."

Qiao Chuchu’s smile gradually cooled: "A surprise?"

When a stranger wants to take you somewhere without letting you tell your family, and even invites you privately, they either want to harm you or kill you.

Especially considering how this person’s approach to painting models like this, they’re definitely not good people.

Qiao Chuchu glanced at the cameras around the exhibition, then teasingly said, "Actually, I can do it now. My brothers are here, and they just happen to have social engagements. It’s the perfect time for me to be your model."

Rila’s smile momentarily froze: "No, there isn’t enough time."

Qiao Chuchu raised an eyebrow: "Really?"

It wasn’t that there wasn’t enough time—it was because this exhibition was filled with famous figures from all circles, and this couple wouldn’t dare make a move now.

If anything happened to her, her brothers would call the police, and as the organizers of the exhibition, Rila and Meng Yashu would surely be suspected and their house searched.

For safety reasons, they invited her to meet privately.

Seeing that Qiao Chuchu remained silent, Rila gently coaxed, "Don’t worry, I’ve already found another model. She’s around your age, and you’ll work together."

Rila walked out and brought someone back to show Qiao Chuchu: "It’s her."

Qiao Chuchu’s eyes lit up upon seeing the person, and she elongated her tone: "Oh~~ So the other model you found is Xia Xuechun!"

Xia Xuechun stood beside Rila, looking somewhat at a loss.

Qiao Chuchu glanced at the branded outfit Xia Xuechun was wearing: "Looks like you’ve completely transformed."

Xia Xuechun’s face showed some embarrassment, and she shot a resentful glare at Rila.

She hadn’t been prepared to appear in front of Qiao Chuchu, so she had been avoiding her.

She had originally planned to make a grand entrance at the right moment!

She thought Rila was bringing her to meet someone important, but the person she ended up meeting was Qiao Chuchu!

Had she known, she wouldn’t have come!

Embarrassed, she glared at Qiao Chuchu, ready to face her ridicule.

But—

Qiao Chuchu suddenly burst into laughter, shaking with amusement on the sofa: "Hahahahahahaha!"

Xia Xuechun and Rila froze for a moment.

Rila, puzzled, asked in Mandarin: "What is she laughing about?"

Xia Xuechun’s face flushed: "She must be laughing at me. She always looks down on me."

Qiao Chuchu couldn’t stop laughing, her body bent over in mirth. The more she thought about it, the funnier it seemed.

Xia Xuechun, the twisted artwork, Meng Yashu’s strange gaze, and Rila, Meng Yashu’s wife.

It all started to piece together.

So this couple were the murderers!

She had repeatedly guessed that the killer might be a strong man who would ambush her from behind and take her away.

But it turned out the real murderer was a refined, polite painter who tried to lure her into a trap step by step.

Then, thinking back to the other timeline, where her dismembered body was discovered, what did that mean?

They said they wanted to invite her as a model, not telling her family, so she secretly came without telling anyone?

Was she an idiot? Hadn’t she seen enough cases of people being kidnapped by strangers?

But... she couldn’t blame herself too much. Maybe she had refused explicitly before, and one day, she was captured anyway?

Rila saw Qiao Chuchu was silent and gently pressed her shoulder: "Are you okay?"

As soon as Rila touched her, a scene flashed before Qiao Chuchu’s eyes!

—She walked into Lou Ting Si’s garden and saw blood stains on the ground.

She quickened her pace, feeling more and more uneasy, following the trail of blood until she found a man lying on the lawn.

The man, dressed in a white shirt and suit, had been shot five or six times in the abdomen. His long, fair fingers tightly gripped a gift box.

The man had already stopped breathing. The image froze at his neck, where there was no head, so she couldn’t tell who he was.

Qiao Chuchu’s smile suddenly disappeared, and her mind snapped: "You killed my brother?"

Rila didn’t hear clearly: "What?"

Qiao Chuchu lunged at her like a leopard, grabbing her collar and fiercely questioning: "What are you trying to do by getting close to me?!"

The guests were startled and quickly separated the two of them!

Xia Xuechun protected the frightened Rila: "Qiao Chuchu, are you crazy?! If you’re sick, go see a doctor! What’s with the outburst at her?!"

Rila was protected behind the guests, watching her with a calm but vigilant gaze.

Qiao Chuchu, like an enraged beast, was restrained by security, unable to calm down!

This person had killed her brother!

Pei Yuan and the others returned, their faces changed drastically as they ran to Qiao Chuchu and pushed aside the security: "What’s wrong, Chuchu?"

Qiao Chuchu didn’t speak.

Her eyes were bloodshot, glaring at Rila with murderous intent.

Pei Yuan followed her gaze to Rila: "What happened?!"

Xia Xuechun defended Rila: "We didn’t do anything to her! Qiao Chuchu just suddenly went mad! She almost hurt Madam Rila!"

Pei Yuan frowned, then turned to check on Qiao Chuchu: "Chuchu, what happened? Did she say something to you?"

The others gathered around, concerned for Qiao Chuchu.

Huai Ling kept signing: "Did she bully you? Where did she bully you?"

Qiao Chuchu ignored them.

She just stared at Rila, her anger burning like fire, with hatred she could not release!

Suddenly, the system’s voice rang in her head: "Host, it’s me."

"I detected a change in your predicted future. To avoid confusion, I’ll explain. The outcome where you were dismembered has been altered. For some reason, you won’t be dismembered."

Qiao Chuchu’s gaze dimmed, and she responded to the system: "Is it because I found the killer, so I avoided the death outcome?"

The system replied: "No, it’s because the person who was going to kill you is dead."

Qiao Chuchu: "?"

The system continued: "From now on, every time you avoid a death outcome, I’ll notify you. You’ve also seen the new prophecy."

"That prophecy suggests you won’t be dismembered."

"In its place, one of your brothers will die."

Qiao Chuchu’s gaze darkened: "Who’s the one who will die?"

The system answered: "I don’t know. You didn’t see the face of the deceased, and neither did I. It’s probably the one who bought a gift for you. When they were waiting for you in the garden, they were killed. So, analyze which of your brothers might have bought you a gift."

Qiao Chuchu sneered and smirked: "I have seven brothers. All of them buy me gifts. Gifts are the most common thing around me."

The system was silent for a moment: "...Anyway, you can’t tell them you can predict the future, but you can give them hints, so they can protect themselves."

She came back to her senses and looked at Pei Yuan and the others, who were all staring at her with concern.

Pei Yuan stared at her anxiously.

Her gaze was distant, almost as if it had shattered, staring blankly at Pei Yuan.

Pei Yuan, puzzled, furrowed his brows.

She smiled.

"It’s okay." Qiao Chuchu smiled more brightly, speaking to the system: "I won’t let Rila get away with it."
