Ah! The Villains I Forced to Turn Evil Can Read My Mind-Chapter 199
Qi Xiaojia dragged her exhausted body to her doorstep.
The security door was defaced with the glaring red spray-painted word: "Homewrecker."
…
Had Brother Long's thugs come to harass her again?
She scoffed mockingly, took out her keys, and unlocked the door.
There were several footprints at the entrance.
Frowning, she cautiously peered inside.
Xia Xuechun was sitting obediently on her sofa, smiling at her. "You're back."
Qi Xiaojia remained silent, her eyes scanning Xia Xuechun's shoes.
A pair of unbranded thick-soled Mary Janes were neatly placed together, with a clean tissue paper tucked underneath.
She let out an exasperated laugh. "If you're worried about dirtying my floor, why not just take off your shoes before coming in? Why bother wearing them and then pretending to care by placing a tissue under them?"
Xia Xuechun glanced at the tissue beneath her feet. "I'm not worried about dirtying your floor. I'm worried your floor is too dirty and might ruin my shoes."
Qi Xiaojia: "?"
Qi Xiaojia: "Get out. Leave right now."
Xia Xuechun sighed with a helpless smile. "Why are you so angry? You haven't had time to mop the floor, so your place is indeed dirty. Can't I just speak the truth?"
Qi Xiaojia hung her bag on the wall, not wanting to engage. "Give me back my house key and get out. I don't want to see you again."
Her parents were still in the hospital, their condition critical, and the family's savings were nearly drained.
She had been working day and night, taking on the most grueling jobs that paid well.
To prepare for emergencies, she had given a spare key to her house to Xia Xuechun.
In this world, apart from her parents, Xia Xuechun was the person she trusted the most.

Qi Xiaojia's chest felt heavy. "I've been working all day and almost died on the boat. I don't have the energy to argue with you. Just return the key and leave."
"Who hasn't almost died on a boat? Stop being dramatic," Xia Xuechun said dismissively. "I want to know why you helped Qiao Chuchu today."
Qi Xiaojia changed into her slippers and looked at her with sarcasm. "Maybe because I'm a decent human being."
Xia Xuechun's eyelids twitched, and her expression gradually hardened. "Are you saying I'm not decent? You betrayed a friend, and you think you're in the right?"
"Betrayed?" Qi Xiaojia pointed at herself, laughing bitterly. "I dislike Qiao Chuchu, but I couldn't just stand by and watch two people die in front of me. Is that betrayal?!"
Xia Xuechun sneered mockingly. "If you dislike someone, you should want them dead."
Qi Xiaojia retorted sharply, "No! Disliking someone and wanting to kill them are two completely different things!!"
Xia Xuechun: "?"
Qi Xiaojia stared at her firmly. "I don't like dogs, but I can't stand seeing someone abuse one. If I see it, I'll stop it because it's a living being. Is that logic really so hard to understand?!"
Xia Xuechun: "..."
Qi Xiaojia's voice was filled with disgust. "I'm not like you. You claim to be kind, but your actions are vile!"
The atmosphere in the room turned icy.
Xia Xuechun's facial muscles twitched slightly, and an imperceptible anger crept into her expression. "Just because I didn't find you a job paying fifty thousand a month, you're going to judge me like this?"
Qi Xiaojia was momentarily stunned, then laughed sarcastically. "Xia Xuechun, let me say it again. I'm not angry about the fifty thousand. I'm angry because you're two-faced."
Xia Xuechun: "? How am I two-faced?"
Qi Xiaojia rolled her eyes. "Qiao Chuchu offering you fifty thousand is an insult, but an old man giving you twenty thousand is love? Isn't that being two-faced?"
Xia Xuechun shot back, "How is Qiao Chuchu offering me fifty thousand a month not an insult? After getting to know the two Brother Longs, I now drive a Mercedes and have a new house. My parents can live comfortably in their old age, all thanks to Brother Long. Could Qiao Chuchu do that for me? Could she buy me a car or a house?! Isn't that an insult?"
Qi Xiaojia couldn't bear to listen anymore. "If you don't want to live a hard life, just say it outright!"
"Say it outright that you want easy money, that you're blinded by vanity. Would it kill you to be honest with me?! Didn't I support you when you wanted to get close to Weisheng Biehe?! I even helped you steal his dog!!"
Her voice grew more sorrowful. "There's nothing wrong with wanting material things, with wanting a car and a house. But I can't stand your hypocrisy. You've already inserted yourself into those old men's lives like a homewrecker. I even saw them fighting to kiss you! And you still try to act innocent!!"
Xia Xuechun's breath hitched, and she slapped Qi Xiaojia hard across the face!
Qi Xiaojia was caught off guard, her head snapping to the side.
The room fell silent.
Xia Xuechun's hand trembled as she clenched her teeth, speaking with righteous indignation. "You have a dirty mind, so you see everything as dirty. You claim to be my friend, but I don't have such a disgusting friend."
Qi Xiaojia was stunned, then nodded with a bitter laugh.
"Fine... fine!"
She pointed to the door. "Get out. I don't want to see you again."
Xia Xuechun sneered. "Of course, I'll leave. But tell me, does Qiao Chuchu know I was the one who pushed the stool?"
Qi Xiaojia: "?"
She looked at Xia Xuechun's dark expression and felt a chill. "No, I didn't tell her."
"Good." Xia Xuechun picked up her bag and walked to the door. "Qi Xiaojia, once this door closes, we're no longer in the same world."
She didn't look back. "I'll rise to the top, and you'll regret not clinging to me. You'll never climb up again."
Qi Xiaojia turned her back to her, laughing self-deprecatingly. "Xia Xuechun, I never wanted anything from you. I genuinely wanted to be your friend."
As soon as she finished speaking, several men emerged from her room.
Qi Xiaojia: "? Who are you?"
The men didn't answer, holding contraceptives in their hands and leering at her suggestively.
Qi Xiaojia's face paled, and she bolted for the door!
But Xia Xuechun slammed it shut with a loud "Bang!"
Without hesitation, she used the key Qi Xiaojia had once entrusted to her and double-locked the door.
Qi Xiaojia tried to open the door twice but failed. Finally, she understood, her voice trembling—
"Xia Xuechun! What are you doing?! Open the door!!!"
She glanced back at the men slowly approaching her and pounded on the door frantically!
"Open the door! Open it now! You can't do this to me! Open the door!!!"
"Xia Xuechun! I trusted you as my best friend! How could you do this to me— Ah!!!"
Xia Xuechun ignored her, wiping the fingerprints off the key with a wet wipe.
The sound of struggling and dragging came from inside the house.
She remembered the day Qi Xiaojia had given her the key.
Qi Xiaojia had pressed the key into her hand, saying playfully, "This is a spare key to my place. I'm entrusting it to you for now!~"
Xia Xuechun had been overjoyed, basking in the trust, and teased her, "Aren't you afraid I'll steal from you?"
Qi Xiaojia had laughed carelessly. "Come on, we've been close since we were kids. You wouldn't steal from me, right?~"
Qi Xiaojia had slung an arm around her shoulder. "My parents aren't around these days, and I'm working nonstop. If I don't reply to your messages, come check on me. I'm afraid I might drop dead without anyone noticing."
Xia Xuechun had tucked the key close to her heart. "Don't worry, I'll definitely come to your rescue!"
