Ah! The Villains I Forced to Turn Evil Can Read My Mind-Chapter 284
The others grew wary and approached Ying Chen's hospital bed: "What are you two talking about?"
Weisheng Lin pulled Ying Chen's hand away: "I'm warning you, don't pollute her pure mind with dirty ideas. Right now, she's as clean as a blank sheet of paper!"
Ying Chen shakily withdrew his hand, his breathing uneven: "Anyway... you can't... say I'm not charming... I'm... I'm a patient now... don't upset me..."
He raised his head resentfully, mustering all his strength to declare: "Otherwise, I'll haunt you even after I die!!"
Qiao Chuchu stood up to leave: "Got it. I believe you."
[That makes sense. No wonder he trusts me so much—it must be because we're in a relationship. Everything falls into place now.]
The others: "?"
What kind of relationship?
Pei Youchuan covered his ears, utterly confused: "Did my ears get burned deaf from this fever?"
Weisheng Huailing walked up to Ying Chen and angrily signed: 「She’s lost her memory. What did you tell her?!」
Ying Chen hadn’t expected Qiao Chuchu to believe him so easily and smirked smugly: "I told her we're in a relationship."
Weisheng Huailing expressionlessly pinched his IV tube.
Ying Chen: "?! I didn’t think she’d believe it. You guys go explain it to her."
The group collectively darkened their expressions.
Ying Chen reluctantly buried himself under the blankets: "Not even considering how I just survived an assassination attempt. Some brothers you are!"
Huailing kicked the hospital bed, then walked up behind Qiao Chuchu and tapped her shoulder.
Qiao Chuchu turned to look at him.
He signed an explanation: 「Ying Chen lied to you. He’s not your boyfriend.」
Qiao Chuchu: "? Then who is?"
Weisheng Huailing signed with utmost sincerity: 「I am.」
Qiao Chuchu: "?"
Biehe yanked him back and tossed him at Weisheng Lin: "What nonsense are you spouting?! Second Brother, control him!"
He calmly stood before Qiao Chuchu, cleared his throat, and said, "Don’t believe either of them. They’re just messing with you."
Qiao Chuchu grew even more bewildered, her damp eyes staring at him innocently: "If neither of them is, then who is?"
Weisheng Biehe: "..."
He fell silent again.
Qiao Chuchu pressed anxiously: "Tell me!"
Biehe glanced behind him.
Weisheng Huailing was being scolded.
Ying Chen was also getting an earful.
A sly glint flashed in his amber eyes as he leaned down toward her: "Actually, there are too many people pursuing you. They all like you, but the one who’s really with you is me."
He studied her face, his expression neutral, but his gaze sharp as a hook: "We got together in secret. We’re the real deal."
Qiao Chuchu: "So you’re the side piece?"
Weisheng Biehe: "?"
Qiao Chuchu glanced at Ying Chen: "He’s my official boyfriend, right?"
Biehe tightened his grip on his prayer beads: "He’s not your boyfriend!"
Qiao Chuchu reasoned logically: "Then why does he trust me so much and even hand his business over to me?"
Biehe: "..."
How would he know what Ying Chen was thinking?
Maybe because Qiao Chuchu could predict things?
Seeing his silence, Qiao Chuchu assumed he was speechless and patted his shoulder righteously: "Whatever happened between us in the past, meddling in someone else’s relationship is wrong. Maybe in the past, as a big shot, I wasn’t a good person. Maybe I wasn’t faithful in love. But now I’m different. I don’t have feelings for you. Let’s end this."
Weisheng Biehe tilted his head, fury rising in his chest, though his tone remained flat: "Why? Why won’t you break up with Ying Chen, but you’ll break up with me? What’s so much better about him?"
Beneath his calm facade raged a storm of anger.
Qiao Chuchu frowned: "I’ll break up with Ying Chen too, but he’s injured right now. Someone has to hold the business together."
Weisheng Biehe retorted matter-of-factly: "Then break up with him now, and I’ll be the official one."
Qiao Chuchu spread her hands in confusion: "He’s hurt. I can’t just abandon him right now. That’s inhumane, isn’t it?"
"I can wait, but I won’t accept you choosing him over me! How long has he even known you?!"
Biehe’s voice grew sharper: "And do you even know who I am?! I, Weisheng Biehe, have never chased after a woman in my life! Since childhood, I’ve gotten everything I wanted—I’ve never stumbled! And yet, you treat me like this?!"
Qiao Chuchu’s temper flared: "I told you to leave!"
Weisheng Biehe’s face darkened as he hissed back: "I won’t! Why should I be the one to leave?! If anyone’s leaving, it’s Ying Chen!"
Qiao Chuchu felt like she was dealing with a madman, her head spinning: "Oh my god, I don’t think I’m the type to two-time! Why is this so hard to explain?!"
Weisheng Biehe froze, realizing he’d been dragged into her logic.
He awkwardly glanced behind him, then pulled Qiao Chuchu aside to apologize: "Sorry, I went too far just now."
He took her hand in his, kneading it gently, whispering like a guilty lover: "I’m the fourth son of the Weisheng family. I’ve had everything handed to me since childhood. No one but my parents has ever dared to make me angry. You’re the first. I got emotional and raised my voice, but I just don’t like losing to another man. I wasn’t targeting you."
He pressed her against the wall, caressing her face: "Don’t be mad at me, okay?"
Qiao Chuchu turned her face away in discomfort.
His eyes darkened as he gripped her chin, forcing her to look at him.
She had no choice but to meet his gaze.
Biehe’s amber eyes burned with jealousy as he warned softly: "Don’t choose Ying Chen again. He and I grew up together—we’re best friends. I won’t let him surpass me in your heart. Remember that."

He dragged his thumb roughly over her lips, then, before the others noticed, walked away with light steps.
Qiao Chuchu leaned against the wall, her worldview shattered.
Oh my god…
Oh my god!
What kind of life had she been living?!
And these two were supposed to be best friends?!
Ying Yao approached her: "Can we talk business now?"
Qiao Chuchu stared at him blankly.
Ying Yao glanced at the men, puzzled: "Something about the way you all interact feels... weird. It’s like they’re bickering."
Qiao Chuchu snapped out of it and took a deep breath: "Ignore them. I’m the one discussing things with you."
Ying Yao smirked mockingly: "Just so you know, I’m blunt. You’re a woman—you might not be able to handle tonight’s client. Let me take care of it."
Qiao Chuchu: "No."
Ying Yao: "?"
Qiao Chuchu scowled: "I don’t like your tone. And no matter how ‘blunt’ you are, you can’t just open your mouth and spew nonsense. This is a hospital—maybe you should go see a specialist while you’re here."
She turned to leave.
Ying Yao grabbed her shoulder: "Who do you think you’re talking to?!"
Qiao Chuchu’s breath hitched—a sudden vision flashed before her eyes.
Ying Yao stood over her, his foot pressing her down.
He drove a knife into her throat: "I told you to stay out of this!"
She clutched the blade, trembling, and saw Shen Zhuoyan’s lifeless body beside her.
With a final surge of defiance, she took her last breath.
Qiao Chuchu's face paled in shock, rooted to the spot as if her feet had grown into the ground, unable to take a single step!
[Oh my god! I actually have the ability to foresee the future!!]
[This Ying Yao killed my trusted subordinate and even slit my throat! And he had the nerve to say I was meddling in his business!]
The men's argument came to an abrupt halt as they suddenly swarmed forward and dragged Ying Yao away!
Ying Yao: "????"
