Qiao Chuchu opened her eyes in despair, thinking, "System, are you there? This doesn’t match the plan at all!"
The original script was: she would jump directly, and no one would react in time to catch her, so she would die.
After all, these people thought she didn’t dare to die.
After all, the old her often used suicide to grab their attention.
But what happened this time?

[Didn’t you say I would fall to my death?! Why did they catch me?!]
[System, why aren’t you answering me? You’re not trying to back out, are you? You wouldn’t, would you?]

No one responded to her.
She heard the system’s voice coming in bursts, but then, it suddenly stopped.
Qiao Chuchu: "…"
It had been ten years.
Her mind had never been this quiet before.
She awkwardly looked at the man pinning her down.
Pei Yuan looked down from above, his gaze filled with deep meaning.
The other brothers were also vigilantly watching her.

Suddenly, Qiao Chuchu was overcome with sadness, and she cried out loud!
[It’s over, the system malfunctioned. If I don’t go back, the Pei family will go bankrupt in a year! These seven people will die horrible deaths, and I will die too!!]
The seven men: "?????"
Pei Lao Si couldn’t hold back and wanted to ask Qiao Chuchu.
But Pei Yuan reacted quickly, grabbing him and pulling him aside: "Calm down."
Pei Lao Si urgently said: "Big Brother, she said we will die horrible deaths and that we’ll go bankrupt. Shouldn’t we ask her what’s going on?"
Pei Yuan looked at Qiao Chuchu, who looked lost, and lowered his voice to warn, "Don’t forget, we’re hearing her inner thoughts. She’s bound by the system. If we ask her, we don’t know what consequences that might bring."
Pei Lao Qi said: "I know the system, I read novels often."
All the brothers turned their gaze to him.
Pei Lao Qi said: "In the novels, the system binds the protagonist and makes them do all kinds of things. Once the tasks are completed, they get the promised reward. If we change the system, it might cause the world to collapse, and we’ll all be doomed."
He paused: "Qiao Chuchu’s reward is probably to return to her original world and become a billionaire."
Pei Lao Er pondered: "So what has Qiao Chuchu done?"
The brothers lowered their heads and thought, remembering all the chaotic things Qiao Chuchu had done, and their faces grew darker.
If they were to count them, there would be too many to list.

"I don’t believe it!!" Pei Lao Liu retorted: "Qiao Chuchu wants to monopolize us seven. She has been scheming against us since puberty. I don’t believe she’s controlled by the system!"
Pei Yuan thought for a moment, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes: "Then let’s test it."
Qiao Chuchu, her legs weak, could barely stand, crawling towards the edge of the building.
She was determined to climb down today!

Suddenly, her ankle was grabbed by someone.
Qiao Chuchu turned around in despair, only to meet Pei Yuan’s deep eyes.
He gripped her ankle, looking at her seriously: "Do you really like us this much?"
Qiao Chuchu: "?"
Pei Yuan glanced at the six brothers behind him: "If you really like us, pick one of us, choose who you want to marry, how about it?"
Qiao Chuchu: "Ah?"
What?
Huh??!!
She stood there with her mouth agape, stuttering, unable to speak, her eyes scanning the faces of the seven brothers in shock, mumbling: "If I choose, will they really marry me?"
Pei Yuan nodded.
The six brothers behind him reluctantly nodded as well.
Qiao Chuchu felt like her mouth was twitching, pointing at Pei Yuan: "Then, if I choose you, would you be willing?"
Pei Yuan’s eyes dimmed: "I’ll take you to see the diamond ring and wedding dress now."
Qiao Chuchu was stunned.

Qiao Chuchu turned around.
She jumped down like a speeding rocket!
[Ahhhhhhhhhh! I don’t want to get married! Letting me marry them is worse than killing me!!!]
Pei Yuan, like a beast waiting to pounce, rushed at her and pinned her down!
Qiao Chuchu felt the male strength pressing her down, scared out of her mind, screaming!
"Don’t touch me!!!"
Pei Yuan effortlessly pressed her to the ground, holding her head: "Calm down, Qiao Chuchu!"
Qiao Chuchu ignored him and slapped Pei Yuan hard!
"Slap!!!"

The other six brothers froze.
Qiao Chuchu also froze, staring in shock at the five-finger mark that appeared on Pei Yuan’s face.
Pei Yuan’s facial muscles twitched, and his eyes looked like they could tear her apart.
"Are you calm now?"
Qiao Chuchu pouted, a small animal-like whine escaping her throat.
[It’s over, I slapped Big Brother, he’ll tear me into pieces!]
[Wait, he’s already trying to force me, can he really tear me apart? I should just chop off his little thing, this shameless jerk!]
Pei Yuan: "?"

Laughter could be heard from behind him.
He turned around warily.
The six brothers were all covering their mouths, their shoulders shaking with suppressed laughter.
The seventh brother, with a mischievous grin, mouthed: "Big Brother, are you the little thing?"
Pei Yuan: "I’m not!!"
Qiao Chuchu snapped back to reality, looking at Pei Yuan in shock.
Pei Yuan’s face darkened as he pressed her down: "Qiao Chuchu, I was just testing you. 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, don’t act willfully. Stay with us, and I’ll still take care of you."
Qiao Chuchu was stunned: "Why?"
Pei Yuan’s eyes darkened, and he looked at her as though she were disappointing him: "Because you’re our family."
[But they’re on the verge of bankruptcy! In a year, they’ll all die on the streets! How can they still take care of me?]
Pei Yuan’s face grew even darker, and he pulled her up from the ground: "Don’t worry, our family won’t go bankrupt. I’ll take care of you until the day I die."
Qiao Chuchu: "?"
[Can Pei Yuan hear my inner thoughts? How did he know I was thinking about bankruptcy?]

Pei Yuan looked down at her from above, coldly snorting.
The issue of bankruptcy, he would find a solution to from her inner thoughts.
He would definitely protect the entire Pei family.
Pei Yuan grabbed her arm: "Come on, let’s go home."
Qiao Chuchu followed him in a daze, while the other brothers naturally surrounded her, casting sidelong glances at her.
She was surrounded in the center, staring at Pei Yuan’s tall figure.
She felt something had changed.
But something also felt the same.
It was just that the way they looked at her had shifted from disdain to suspicion and doubt.
Could it be… they had forgiven her unreasonable behavior again?

[No, no, that’s not the point. The point is, does my billion-dollar fortune still count?!]
[If I can’t go back, what was all my effort for? I’ve worked so hard to give up on love, to study all the self-defense techniques that a rich single woman should know… was it all in vain!!]

The seven brothers twitched their eyelids, silently taking out their phones.
Qiao Chuchu pitifully lowered her head, showing a lost expression, as if she had "lost her billion-dollar fortune."
Suddenly, her phone rang.
She picked it up and saw a transfer notification.
Immediately, the phone dinged seven times.

[User Pei Yuan has transferred you... yuan.]
[User Pei Si has transferred you... yuan.]
[User Pei...]

Each of the seven brothers had transferred her five hundred million?!
She looked at them in shock: "You guys?"
Pei Yuan took her into the elevator and pressed the button for the first floor: "As long as you behave and don’t cause trouble, we’ll send you money every month."
Second Brother Pei Che looked at her with disdain: "So, you don’t need to seek death. As long as you behave, you’ll eventually become a billionaire."
