BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2
Because these people all thought she wouldn\'t dare to die.
After all, the old her often used suicide attempts to get their attention.
But what happened this time?
[Weren\'t you supposed to let me fall to my death?! Why did these people manage to grab me?]
[System, why aren\'t you responding? Don\'t tell me you\'re trying to back out of our deal? No way, right? No way?]
No one answered her.
She heard the system\'s voice coming through intermittently, then suddenly, it went silent.
Qiao Chuchu: "..."
Ten years.
Her mind had never been this quiet before.
She awkwardly looked at the man pinning her down.
Pei Yuan looked down at her, his gaze full of meaning.
The other brothers also watched her vigilantly.
Suddenly, Qiao Chuchu felt overwhelmed with grief and burst into tears!
[It\'s over, the system malfunctioned. If I can\'t go back, the Pei family will go bankrupt in a year! These seven men will meet terrible ends, and so will I!!]
The seven men: "????"
Fourth Pei couldn\'t hold back and wanted to question Qiao Chuchu.
The eldest, Pei Yuan, quickly grabbed him and pulled him aside: "Stay calm."
Fourth Pei anxiously said: "Big brother, this girl says we\'ll meet terrible ends and that we\'ll go bankrupt. Shouldn\'t we get to the bottom of this?"
Pei Yuan looked at the distraught Qiao Chuchu and warned in a low voice: "Don\'t forget, we\'re hearing her inner thoughts, and she\'s bound to a system. We don\'t know what consequences there might be if we question her about it."
Seventh Pei said: "I know about systems, I read novels all the time."
All the brothers turned to look at him in unison.
Seventh Pei explained: "In novels, systems bind themselves to protagonists, making them do various tasks. Once the tasks are completed, they can receive their promised rewards. If we interfere with the system, it might cause this world to collapse, and then we\'d all be done for."
He paused: "Qiao Chuchu\'s reward must be returning to her original world as a trillion-dollar heiress."
The second brother pondered: "So what has Qiao Chuchu done?"
The seven brothers lowered their heads in thought, remembering all of Qiao Chuchu\'s outrageous actions in the past, their faces gradually darkening.
If they were to count, there were too many instances to keep track of.
"I don\'t believe it!!" Sixth Pei objected: "Qiao Chuchu wanted to have all seven of us to herself. She\'s had ulterior motives towards us since puberty. I just don\'t believe she acted this way because of some system\'s control."
Pei Yuan thought for a moment, his eyes flashing with insight: "Let\'s test it then."
Qiao Chuchu\'s legs were too weak to stand, so she crawled toward the edge of the building.
She had to get down today, even if she had to crawl!
Suddenly, someone grabbed her ankle.
Qiao Chuchu turned back in despair, meeting Pei Yuan\'s deep gaze.
He held onto her ankle, looking at her seriously: "Do you really like us that much?"
Qiao Chuchu: "?"
Pei Yuan glanced at his six brothers behind him: "If you really like us that much, choose one of us seven brothers. Let\'s see who you want to marry, how about that?"
Qiao Chuchu: "Huh?"
Huh??
HUH???!
She gaped, stammering and unable to speak, her gaze sweeping across the faces of the seven brothers as she mumbled in shock: "Whoever I choose will marry me?"
Pei Yuan nodded.
The six brothers behind him reluctantly nodded as well.
Qiao Chuchu felt her mouth twitching as she pointed at Pei Yuan: "Then... if I choose you, would you be willing?"
Pei Yuan\'s eyes darkened: "I\'ll take you to look at engagement rings and wedding dresses right now."
Qiao Chuchu froze.
Qiao Chuchu turned around.
Qiao Chuchu leaped down like she was flying!
[Ahhhhhhhhhhh I don\'t want to get married! I\'d rather die than marry any of them!!!]
Pei Yuan, like a predator waiting to strike, pounced and pinned Qiao Chuchu down again!
Qiao Chuchu felt the male force restraining her and screamed in panic!
"Don\'t touch me!!!"
Pei Yuan effortlessly held her down, cradling her head: "Calm down, Qiao Chuchu!"
Qiao Chuchu ignored him and slapped Pei Yuan hard across the face!
"SLAP!!!"
The other six Pei brothers were stunned.
Qiao Chuchu was also shocked, staring in disbelief at the red handprint forming on Pei Yuan\'s face.
Pei Yuan\'s facial muscles twitched, his eyes looking like they could tear her apart.
"Have you calmed down now?"
Qiao Chuchu\'s lips trembled, her throat letting out a whimper like a small animal.
[I\'m done for, I hit Big Brother, he\'s going to chop me into pieces!]
[No, wait, he was trying to force me, why should I let him chop me up? I should be the one chopping up his little birdie, that shameless jerk!]
Pei Yuan: "?"
Suppressed laughter sounded from behind him.
He turned back warily.
All six brothers were covering their mouths, their shoulders shaking violently.
Seventh Pei cheekily mouthed: "Big brother, do you have a little birdie?"
Pei Yuan: "I do not!!"
Qiao Chuchu came to her senses, looking at Pei Yuan in shock.
Pei Yuan\'s face gradually darkened as he pressed down on her: "Qiao Chuchu, I was just testing you earlier. Of course I don\'t want to and won\'t marry you. Now I know you don\'t actually want to marry me, you\'re just being unreasonable. From now on, no more acting out. Stay with us, and I\'ll continue to take care of you."
Qiao Chuchu was stunned: "Why?"
Pei Yuan\'s eyes darkened as he looked at her with exasperation: "Because you\'re our family."
[But they\'re about to go bankrupt, aren\'t they? In a year, they\'ll all die on the streets. They can barely take care of themselves, yet they still want to take care of me?]
Pei Yuan\'s expression grew even more severe as he pulled her up from the ground: "Don\'t worry, our family won\'t go bankrupt. I can take care of you until death."
Qiao Chuchu: "?"
[Can Pei Yuan hear my thoughts? How did he know I was thinking about bankruptcy?]
Pei Yuan looked down at her coldly and snorted.
As for the bankruptcy matter, he would find a solution from her inner thoughts.
He would absolutely protect the entire Pei family.
Pei Yuan grabbed her arm: "Come on, let\'s go home."
Qiao Chuchu followed behind him in a daze, while the other brothers naturally surrounded her, watching her from the corners of their eyes.
She was surrounded in the center, staring at Pei Yuan\'s straight back.
She felt something had changed.
But somehow, some things hadn\'t changed at all.
Only their gazes toward her had less disgust and more suspicion and wariness.
Could it be... they had forgiven her unreasonable behavior once again?
[No, no, that\'s not the point. The point is, does my trillion-dollar assets deal still count?!]
[If I can\'t go back, what was the point of all my years of effort? After all, I worked hard to give up on love, studied all sorts of self-defense techniques that a single wealthy woman should know... Was it all for nothing?!!]
The seven brothers\' eyelids twitched as they wordlessly took out their phones.
Qiao Chuchu hung her head pitifully, wearing an expression of \'having lost trillion-dollar assets\' dejection.
Aliali: 674b2802c4f3f33ac49e50caSuddenly, her phone rang.
She picked up her phone and saw a transfer notification message.
Then her phone chimed seven more times in succession.
[User Pei Yuan has transferred 500,000,000 yuan to you.]
[User Pei Si has transferred 500,000,000 yuan to you.]
[User Pei...]
Each of the seven brothers had transferred her five hundred million?!
She looked at them in shock: "You all?"
Pei Yuan led her into the elevator and pressed the button for the first floor: "As long as you stay alive and behave yourself, we\'ll give you money every month."
Second brother Pei Che gave her a disdainful look: "So you don\'t need to keep trying to die. As long as you\'re obedient, you\'ll become a trillion-dollar heiress eventually."
