Chapter 22
Oh, right.
If they died, Qiao Chuchu would go bankrupt and might end up in a terrible situation.
That was close; I almost got moved.
Qiao Chuchu furrowed her brows in thought: [Regardless of whether they fall in love at first sight, since Lin Qing bumped into the heroine's mother, I think the events in the plot will inevitably happen, so they will definitely develop feelings.]
[And among the seven, the first to fall in love will be the seventh brother, Pei Buxian.]
The six people at the table looked at Pei Buxian in unison!
Pei Buxian, holding a dog, looked up innocently and clueless.
The other brothers exchanged glances.
Why him?!
Any of the brothers could have taken on the challenge first.
But it couldn't be Pei Buxian, the most eccentric of them all!
Pei Youchuan: "It's heartbreaking that the first one is Pei Buxian! I bet a hundred bucks that Pei Buxian will fall for Xia Xuechun!"
Pei Ci: "I'm in!"
Pei Mu: "I'm in too!"
Pei Fengnong: "You guys are too much, how can you think that of our little brother? He's still our seventh brother!"
Pei Youchuan: "So, are you in or not?"
Pei Fengnong: "I'll go all in."
The others: "?"
Qiao Chuchu was still deep in thought: [Xia Xuechun will come to this mansion as a temporary maid, so this month will be the golden period for her to interact with the brothers.]
Pei Youchuan quickly made a joke: "Meeting canceled, I'm going to the gate to place thumbtacks."
Pei Fengnong: "Meeting canceled, I'm going to chase away all the maids."
Pei Ci: "Meeting canceled, I'm going to find a master to exorcise evil spirits."
Pei Mu: "Meeting canceled, because I want the meeting canceled."
Pei Che: "..."
Pei Yuan: "Warning you all, no one is allowed to interfere with the plot, or Qiao Chuchu won't be able to predict what happens next. We just need to turn the tide at the most critical moments, don't make things difficult."
The chaos in the group stopped.
Pei Yuan looked at Pei Buxian: "Little brother, can you handle this on your own?"
Pei Buxian: "I'm not alone, I have a dog."
Pei Yuan: "..."
The others: "..."
Pei Yuan sighed: "Everyone be prepared, if Pei Buxian really falls for Xia Xuechun, we'll send him to a mental asylum abroad."
Pei Youchuan: "Yes, sir!"
Pei Yuan: "Pei Buxian, since today's plot revolves around you, can you stay behind to protect Qiao Chuchu?"
Pei Buxian didn't answer.
But he looked at the message and smiled strangely.
He had platinum blonde hair, like a fluffy golden shorthair, with a slight curve at the corners of his mouth.
Pei Yuan: "..."
Maybe we should just cancel the meeting.
In the end, Pei Buxian stood at the door with the dog, sending off his six working brothers.
Pei Yuan was extremely worried, patting his cheek: "Be sure to stay awake, if you feel your heart racing for Xia Xuechun, think about how you'll end up."
Pei Buxian obediently replied: "Don't worry, brother, I'll treat the world as if I'm already dead."
Pei Yuan nodded seriously: "Then I'm relieved."
The six others nearby: "..."
Why does that sound off?
Qiao Chuchu happened to pass by the gate, seeing the group of them.
They noticed her too, their expressions of worry instantly turning cold, and they got into their respective cars.
Qiao Chuchu: "..."
They don't want to talk to me, yet they let me come back; they're so bizarre!
Luxury cars drove out of the courtyard one by one.
Xia Xuechun entered from the side door, watching the scene in awe.
Her friend Qi Xiaojia patted her arm hard: "Oh my god, Xuexue, look at these cars, all worth millions and even tens of millions!"
Xia Xuechun came to her senses, unimpressed: "Just cars."
"Just cars?" Qi Xiaojia was astonished: "Look at those cars, the leading ones are Rolls-Royces and Maybachs, even custom sports cars! These are the cars that novel heroes drive! We'll never earn that kind of money in our lifetime, yet they use it as their daily vehicles. Do you know the significance of this?"
Xia Xuechun shrugged, unimpressed: "But money can't buy happiness, they've lost a lot of life's pleasures."
The aunt leading them laughed: "Xuexue is right, the seven gentlemen in this house really aren't happy."
Xia Xuechun proudly lifted her chin, her tone playful: "See? I knew rich people aren't happy!~"
Qi Xiaojia's focus was elsewhere: "Aunt Wang, you said there are seven men living here? Are they handsome? Are they hot?!"
Aunt Wang nodded: "Yes, they're more handsome than many stars, but their tempers are all strange."
Aunt Wang warned again: "You two are here to fill two vacant positions, not to chat with the gentlemen. Their tempers are all strange, you can't talk to them first, just do what they tell you to do, don't offend them, or you'll lose this high-paying job."
Xia Xuechun and Qi Xiaojia nodded seriously.
This was the wealthy villa district in the eastern suburbs of Lan City, where every household had its own swimming pool, and it took five minutes to walk to a neighbor's house.
And this villa was the most prestigious and spacious house in the eastern suburbs.
Working here for a month could earn you thirty thousand yuan!
The main job was household chores, laundry, cleaning, helping in the kitchen, serving tea and water, and other trivial tasks.
Don't underestimate these tasks; it was a coveted position.
Aunt Wang had been working here for three years and finally climbed to the position of deputy housekeeper, so she quickly recruited them as soon as there was an opening.
After all, one shouldn't let good opportunities slip away.
Xia Xuechun followed Aunt Wang into the villa, finding it very luxurious, like a Western palace, with extravagant crystal chandeliers and oil paintings as decorations, not in line with current interior design tastes.
Aunt Wang said: "This house is decades old, designed by Madam Pei when she was alive, so the gentlemen cherish everything very much. Be very careful when you work, don't knock anything over."
She led them to the servants' quarters, handing them two documents: "Memorize the information about the seven gentlemen, it includes their taboos, preferences, and habits."
Aliali: 6754d302bd5e46c308a67379Xia Xuechun opened it and saw Qiao Chuchu's photo at the bottom, surprised: "Why is it her?!"
Qi Xiaojia was surprised: "Who?"
Xia Xuechun pointed at Qiao Chuchu's photo: "She's the one who made me pay seventy-six thousand yuan for a ruined dress!"
Qi Xiaojia's mouth gaped: "She's that bitch?!"
Qiao Chuchu's photo next to the seven handsome men didn't get overshadowed at all, but rather left a lot of room for imagination.
In the photo, her curly hair tucked behind her ears, revealing a delicate face, she smiled brightly at the camera.
Her eyes and brows were full of lively charm.
Qi Xiaojia was indignant: "With seven brothers and so rich and beautiful, that bitch sure knows how to be born into a good family."
Aunt Wang added: "She's adopted, and her relationship with her brothers isn't good, she just moved back."
Xia Xuechun was surprised: "Adopted? Relationship not good? Are you sure?"
