Ah! The Villains I Forced to Turn Evil Can Read My Mind-Chapter 161: Good Royal
Pei Yuan drew a sharp breath, his eyes suddenly glistening with moisture, his chest heaving violently.
Pei Che had no visible expression on his face, but his Adam's apple rolled up and down as his fists unconsciously clenched.
Pei Youchuan, unable to believe what he was seeing, bit down on a piece of meat from his finger, his eyes betraying a simmering heat.
Pei Feng Nong stood frozen, instinctively slipping his hands into his pockets, absentmindedly touching the necklace that Qiao Chuchu had given him when they were young.
Pei Mu and Pei Ci both drank a whole glass of water, feeling hot and rubbing their necks.
Pei Bu Xian, hugging a cushion, half-opened his mouth, already dazed.
The expressions of the Wei Sheng family members were subtle, their peripheral vision scanning the Pei family members before shifting back to the screen.
Wei Sheng Wen Zhan glanced at the angry Qiao Chuchu on the screen and irritably pushed up his glasses.
Bie He lowered his gaze and twirled the prayer beads in his fingers, his eyes briefly flicking over the Pei family members before he turned his head away, a dark expression crossing his face.
Wei Sheng Lin stared at Qiao Chuchu, somewhat stunned, “I... don’t even know how to describe this.”
Ying Chen knocked back a glass of whiskey with ice, his voice hoarse: “Don’t you think she’s really sexy right now? When she’s soft, she’s cute, but when she’s assertive... she’s really imposing. You know, that kind of commanding presence.”
Wei Sheng Lin looked at the cold expression on Qiao Chuchu’s face in the video and realized belatedly: “Ah, I was wondering why I felt so hot, turns out it’s because she’s so sexy.”
Ying Chen: “?”
Lou Ting Si tugged at his tie, feeling a bit hot as he noticed the strawberries on the table.
...It was getting hotter.
Bie He cleared his throat, his voice hoarse: “Can Huai Ling switch the angle? From this perspective, it feels like I’m the one being pointed at by her gun.”
Wei Sheng Lin chuckled: “Some people forgot that their little brother is deaf, huh~”
Bie He’s lips twitched, looking at Wei Sheng Huai Ling but suddenly freezing.
Wei Sheng Huai Ling was completely focused on the screen.
His eyes betrayed no attempt to hide his affection; his beautiful eyes sparkled like stars, completely fixated on the screen.
Bie He’s eyes dimmed as he couldn’t help but let out a cold grunt.
On screen, Rila, her back to the camera, cried out in despair, her voice full of hopelessness and resentment: “How can your feelings compare to mine? Yours is for a brother, mine is for my husband!”
Qiao Chuchu smirked, mocking: “What? Is family love less noble than your love? But why should your love come at the cost of other young girls? Do you know how many families you've ruined, how many innocent young girls have died because of you two?!”
Rila’s eyes flared with anger, speaking through gritted teeth: “Their affairs will be dealt with by someone else! My husband’s assets were frozen, there’s bound to be compensation, so it’s not your place to lecture me! If my husband hadn’t died, maybe you’d already have been dismembered by him! You and that Xia Xuechun will die at our hands! If you hadn’t ambushed me, your brother would be dead too!”
Qiao Chuchu’s eyes flicked to the ground, noticing a small, intricate drone.
She sneered: “You’re using a drone for surveillance? How advanced.”
The men in the entertainment room suddenly tensed, worried about the slip-up.
Rila didn’t pay attention, continuing to shout in desperation: “Your brother exposed my husband’s secret! You ruined me! Your whole family destroyed our happiness!”
Qiao Chuchu ignored her, picking up the gun and aiming at the drone, coldly pulling the trigger.
“Bang!”
The projection screen cut off the connection.
Wei Sheng Huai Ling shuddered, as if he had reached some sort of resonance, his fingertips trembling.
He closed his eyes, slowly lowering his body, and the corner of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up, gradually widening into a smile.
Qiao Chuchu picked up the drone and handed it to Song Yu: “Please check if this uploaded any video to the cloud. We can’t leave any traces.”
Song Yu took the drone, scanning over the now limp Rila: “I’ll have my people take care of the rest. It’s already been more than five minutes. If you stay any longer, they’ll start getting suspicious. Go now! I’ll send the gifts to you later.”
Qiao Chuchu nodded and quickly returned to the Lou family entertainment room door, taking a deep breath to calm herself before entering: “Sorry for keeping you all waiting, work got a bit complicated.”
As soon as Qiao Chuchu entered, all the men’s eyes, in perfect unison, turned toward her.
There was a flicker of thoughts in their eyes that she couldn’t quite decipher, and they smiled at her with a knowing nod: “Good.”
Qiao Chuchu: “?”
【Why does the atmosphere feel so weird?】
She slowly walked in, glanced at the projection screen, and curiously asked, “Why isn’t anything playing? Didn’t you guys watch the movie?”
“We watched, just finished.” Ying Chen crossed his arms over his knees, giving her a teasing glance: “It was especially exciting.”
Qiao Chuchu sighed with relief: “I thought I might have ruined the mood for you guys.”
【I’m so relieved. I thought I had made a mistake.】
Wei Sheng Wen Zhan raised an eyebrow, closing his laptop with interest: “You wouldn’t ruin the mood for us.”
Qiao Chuchu relaxed and sat down on the sofa: “That’s good.”
The two men sitting next to her were Pei Yuan and Pei Che.
Both of them rested their chins on their hands, staring intently at her.
Song Yu quickly entered the game room, holding a stack of finely wrapped pen gift boxes, stopping in front of Qiao Chuchu: “Miss Qiao, your gifts have arrived!”
Qiao Chuchu’s eyes lit up, standing to take the gifts: “Oh right, this is my thank-you gift for everyone, one pen for each person. I really appreciate all the gifts you gave me today!”
Song Yu smiled, but when she saw Qiao Chuchu’s face, her smile froze!
Blood!
There was blood on Qiao Chuchu’s face!
The outside was too dark, with few lights, so she hadn’t noticed the blood on her face!
Song Yu’s mind went into overdrive.
Wait, if she could see it, so could the others in the room?!
Qiao Chuchu, with a pure and innocent smile, distributed the pens one by one: “I hope everyone has a smooth year ahead, and good health!~”
Pei Che took one, raising an eyebrow as he stared at the bloodstain on her cheek.
Wei Sheng Lin squinted, smiling softly as he kept his gaze fixed on her face.
Wei Sheng Huai Ling simply reached out and wiped the blood from the corner of her eye, giving her a pointed look.
Qiao Chuchu thought she had just been poked and casually smiled.
The pens were all handed out.
There were a few more to give when she returned to the country.
She felt pleased with herself!
【No one noticed. Perfect clearance! Hehe~】
Qiao Chuchu happily looked at Song Yu.
Song Yu, however, was making subtle gestures at her.
Qiao Chuchu: “?”
Song Yu lowered her head, touched her face, then scratched her head.
Qiao Chuchu: “??”
Lou Ting Si smiled gently: “Song Yu, you can leave now.”
Song Yu froze, meeting their eyes filled with meaning.

Lou Ting Si’s gaze was the softest: “Leave now.”
Song Yu fell silent and slowly walked to the door, gradually closing it. She looked back at them.
Qiao Chuchu stood in the middle of the room, staring at her in confusion.
Song Yu tried to signal with her lips: “You’ve got—”
“We’ll open the gifts now.” Pei Che suddenly spoke up: “I can’t wait any longer.”
The others all laughed and chimed in: “Yeah, we still don’t know what the pens look like.”
Qiao Chuchu, overjoyed: “Alright, let’s open them together!”
Lou Ting Si, with a smile on his face, looked toward the door: “Song Yu.”
Song Yu’s breath caught, suddenly feeling a chill.
Lou Ting Si’s smile didn’t reach his eyes as he fixed his gaze on her: “Close the door properly.”
