Ah! The Villains I Forced to Turn Evil Can Read My Mind-Chapter 181: Plot Pairing
Wei Sheng Huai Ling: "Huh? Is crying useless? Is sticking to her useless? If it comes to a head, I can even confess!"
Pei Che: "We don't know the consequences of confessing. Even if you confess, she’ll be angry, and very angry!"
Huai Ling: "..."
Wei Sheng Huai Ling anxiously sent a meme.
He: "Then what should I do, wuwuwu."
Pei Bu Xian's hands were shaking as he typed: "It’s not about what you should do."
Luo Ting Si chimed in: "It’s about what all of us should do."
Huai Ling: "..."
Yu Can glanced at the group chat, scrolling from top to bottom, her face growing more and more pale: "How did Qiao Chuchu suddenly know? What if she ignores us now, what should we do?!"
Wen Zhan remained frozen in the same position, unmoving.
Yu Can, frustrated, snapped: "Stop posing! Hurry up and think of a solution! You love-struck fools, can you at least be of some use at a critical moment?!"
Wen Zhan’s gaze darkened as he coldly looked at her: "Why are you yelling at me? I’m not love-struck."
Yu Can's palm was sweaty, she couldn't wipe it off, growing more and more flustered: "I admit, I got close to her with a purpose at first, but this little girl is really likable. She’s sincere with me, and I am sincerely involved with her."
"I’ve paved the way for Qiao Chuchu, planned how to mix with big shots in the art world, how to help her make money, how to gradually guide her to the top of the art scene, I have it all mapped out!"
Yu Can grabbed Wen Zhan's arm: "At first, I did use her, but now, I’m sincere with her!"
Wen Zhan’s face darkened: "Then let’s confess."
Yu Can quickly shook her head: "No, not yet! The big conclusion hasn’t come yet. Once it does, I’ll definitely confess!"
She said anxiously: "Because I’ve read a lot of novels about systems, and the setting is always like this: once the supporting characters find out about the system, the world will collapse. To us, we are living people, but in reality, we are just paper characters, our lives don’t matter!"
Wen Zhan's expression turned grim: "Since you've made up your mind to hide it from her, why are you still hesitating?"
Yu Can, frustrated: "I feel bad! I’ve been genuine with her, and now she doesn’t like me back. Isn’t that just as painful as hanging me out to dry? I don’t believe you’re not feeling the same!"
"I don’t feel bad." Wen Zhan’s face was expressionless as he turned to leave: "I don’t feel bad at all."
—
Qiao Chuchu was in the break room, taking out a bracelet that had unexpectedly appeared in her pocket.
She sneered: ["Just now, Xia Xuechun suddenly bumped into me, and I felt my pocket being tugged. Sure enough, she stuffed a necklace into my pocket."]
Wen Zhan, who had intended to knock, paused when he heard the sound, holding his breath to listen.
["In the first timeline, I didn’t notice the bracelet, so I fell into Xia Xuechun and Lan Ying’s trap and was misunderstood by the old lady as the thief who stole her precious bracelet."]
["Although I later proved my innocence and the old lady apologized, being wronged is still being wronged, and many onlookers never knew I was innocent."]
["And in that timeline, I didn’t know who framed me. It was only later when I heard Xia Xuechun confess that I realized who it was."]
Qiao Chuchu let out a cold laugh: ["I really thought she wouldn’t do something like frame someone, so I didn’t suspect her at all."]
["But how could I have forgotten? Xia Xuechun is the kind of person who stirs up trouble with her own logic. She can trade a plastic bracelet for jade with reason, and even confess to Ji Yanchuan while he’s engaged."]
["I need to figure out how to return this bracelet."]
["If I could escalate things, I’d collect more jewelry to take revenge for her stealing, that would be great."]
["But unfortunately, I only have infiltration skills, not the skills of a master thief. So, I’ll just stuff the bracelet back to Xia Xuechun and let her get slapped in the face."]
She placed the bracelet carefully and was about to leave when the door opened.
Wei Sheng Wen Zhan walked in, followed by his bodyguard.
The atmosphere in the room became heavy after he entered.
Qiao Chuchu’s face darkened as she coldly glanced at him.
Wen Zhan’s deep eyes flashed briefly as he took slow steps toward her: "Miss Qiao."
Qiao Chuchu was indifferent: "Mm."
He lowered his lashes, hesitating, and extended his hand toward her.
She frowned and deliberately dodged, but Wen Zhan forcibly grabbed her wrist!
She pulled back, resisting!
Wen Zhan gripped tighter, his palm icy.
It was as if he didn’t feel her rejection, staring at her intensely, his tone steady: "My bodyguard just told me he saw someone put something in your pocket. Is that true?"
Bodyguard: "?"
When did he say that?
Qiao Chuchu suspiciously looked at the bodyguard: "How do you know? I didn’t notice you were there."
The bodyguard opened his mouth: "Uh..."
Wei Sheng Wen Zhan’s face was pale: "He’s a professional pickpocket, so he’s sharp in this area. He spotted it from far away."
The bodyguard paused and nodded vigorously: "Mm, mm, mm!"
Qiao Chuchu narrowed her eyes suspiciously, glancing at Wen Zhan: "Really?"
["Why do I feel like him coming over to help me is fishy? I no longer trust those hiding secrets from me."]
Wen Zhan tightened his grip on her wrist unconsciously, turning his gaze to the bodyguard.

The bodyguard caught the hint, straightened his back, and introduced himself: "Miss Qiao, I’ve served ten years for theft. It was Mr. Wei who gave me a second chance at life. Now, I’m a technical talent by his side. My eyes are sharp, I can see things others can’t, touch things others can’t, there’s nothing I can’t steal as long as you think of it!"
Qiao Chuchu twitched her mouth: "...You really are quite the technician, huh?"
["This is hard not to get tempted by!"]
["Mainly, I feel that a gold chain isn’t enough. I want to repay her a thousand times, maybe even more, ideally by wrapping Xia Xuechun in necklaces, bracelets, and all sorts of jewelry like a mummy!"]
["I don’t have that ability, the only thing I can do is shove my own necklace in, but that doesn’t feel cautious enough, and it’s very likely to backfire, so someone else’s necklace is better."]
["Though it’s really unfair to the other person, but I really want Xia Xuechun to get a taste of her own medicine."]
"How about it?" Wen Zhan pulled her forward, looking down at Qiao Chuchu. His tone was steady but carried a hint of persuasion: "Are you tempted?"
Qiao Chuchu: "..."
She hesitated and looked up at him.
Wen Zhan’s jet-black eyes were tight with a trace of nervousness: "We are in a mutually helpful relationship. You’ve been framed for stealing, and neither I nor my sister will benefit from it, so we need to turn the tables."
Wen Zhan lowered himself to her level, staring into her eyes seriously, as if he were about to give his heart.
"You need him."
"You need me."
"So." He looked into her eyes earnestly: "Let me help you."
