Ah, right.
If they die, Qiao Chuchu will go bankrupt and might even meet a similar fate.
That was close—almost got moved.
Qiao Chuchu furrowed her brows in thought: 【Regardless of whether they fell in love at first sight, after the incident with Lin Qing and the female lead's mother, I believe the events in the plot will inevitably unfold. So they will definitely fall for her.】
【And out of the seven, the first person to fall for her will be the seventh brother, Pei Buxian.】

The six men at the table all looked at Pei Buxian in unison!
Pei Buxian, holding the dog, looked up in innocent confusion.
The other brothers exchanged looks.
How could it be him?!
Any of the brothers could have been the first to accept the challenge.
But not Pei Buxian, the most eccentric one among them!

Pei Youchuan: “This is heartbreaking. The first to fall for her is Pei Buxian? I’ll bet 100 bucks Pei Buxian will fall for Xia Xue Chun!”
Pei Ci: “I’ll match!”
Pei Mu: “I’ll match too!”
Pei Fengnong: “You guys are too much! How can you think like that about little Seven? He’s still our seventh brother!”
Pei Youchuan: “Then, will you match or not?”
Pei Fengnong: “I’ll go all-in.”

The others: “?”

Qiao Chuchu was still lost in thought: 【Xia Xue Chun will come to the house as a temporary maid, so this month will be her golden opportunity to interact with my brothers.】
Pei Youchuan quickly joked: “Meeting canceled, I’m going to put pushpins at the door.”
Pei Fengnong: “Meeting canceled, I’m going to chase all the maids away.”
Pei Ci: “Meeting canceled, I’m going to find a master to exorcise evil.”
Pei Mu: “Meeting canceled, because I want the meeting canceled.”
Pei Che: “……”
Pei Yuan: “Listen, no one is allowed to interfere with the plot. If anyone does, Qiao Chuchu won’t be able to predict what happens next. We just need to alter things at the most critical point. Let’s not complicate it.”

The chaos in the group chat stopped.

Pei Yuan looked at Pei Buxian: “Little Seven, you can handle this on your own, right?”
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 Xue Chun, we’ll send him to a mental asylum abroad.”
Pei Youchuan: “Understood, sir!”
Pei Yuan: “Pei Buxian, since today’s plot involves you, could you stay and protect Qiao Chuchu?”
Pei Buxian didn’t answer.
But he gave a strange smile as he looked at the sentence.
He had platinum short hair, like a fluffy golden British Shorthair, with the corners of his mouth curved slightly.
Pei Yuan: “……”
Maybe we should cancel the meeting after all.

In the end, Pei Buxian, holding the dog, stood at the door to send off his six brothers to work.
Pei Yuan, feeling uneasy, patted his face: “Be very careful. If you start feeling strongly for Xia Xue Chun, think carefully about how you’ll die.”
Pei Buxian obediently said, “Don’t worry, brother, I’ll treat this world like it’s dead.”
Pei Yuan nodded seriously: “Then I can rest easy.”
The other six men: “……”
Why did that sound wrong?

Qiao Chuchu happened to walk past the door and glanced at them.
They noticed her, and their worried expressions immediately turned cold. They turned and got into their cars.
Qiao Chuchu: “……”
They won’t even acknowledge her, but they still want her to live here again—what a bunch of weirdos!

One luxury car after another drove out of the courtyard.
Xia Xue Chun entered through the side gate and was mesmerized by the scene.
Her best friend, Qi Xiao Jia, slapped her arm hard: “Oh my god, Xue Xue, look at all these cars. They’re all worth millions, even tens of millions!!”
Xia Xue Chun came to her senses and shrugged nonchalantly: “It’s just cars.”
“Just cars?” Qi Xiao Jia stared in disbelief: “Look at those cars! The leading ones are Rolls Royces and Maybachs, and there’s even a custom sports car! These are the type of cars the male protagonists in novels always drive! We’ll never make this much money in our lifetime, yet they use these as their daily rides. Do you realize the value of what’s going on here?”
Xia Xue Chun shrugged again, indifferent: “What’s the big deal about being rich? Money can’t buy happiness. They’ve lost a lot of joy in life.”

The aunt who was leading them laughed: “Xue Xue is right. The seven men in this house are indeed not happy.”
Xia Xue Chun proudly lifted her chin, speaking playfully: “See? I told you that rich people aren’t happy!”

Qi Xiao Jia wasn’t paying attention to that anymore: “Aunt Wang, you said there are seven men living here? Are they handsome? Are they good-looking?”
Aunt Wang nodded: “They’re handsome, more handsome than many stars, but their temperaments are strange.”
Aunt Wang added a warning: “You’re here to fill two vacant spots, not to chat with the gentlemen. Their tempers are odd, so don’t take the initiative to talk to them. Do what they ask, but make sure you don’t offend them. Otherwise, this high-paying job will be gone.”

Xia Xue Chun and Qi Xiao Jia nodded seriously.

This was the luxury villa area in the eastern suburbs of Lan City, with each house having a private swimming pool. Walking to the neighbor’s house took five minutes.
This villa was the best and most lavish one in the entire area.
Working here for a month could earn 30,000 yuan!
The main tasks were doing housework, washing clothes, cleaning, assisting in the kitchen, serving tea, and other trivial chores.
Although the work was trivial, it was highly sought after.
Aunt Wang had been working here for three years and finally earned the position of assistant housekeeper, so whenever there was a vacancy, she would quickly bring in new recruits.
After all, you don’t want to let the fat water run to outsiders.

Xia Xue Chun followed Aunt Wang into the villa and was impressed by how luxurious it was, like a Western palace with extravagant crystal chandeliers and oil paintings as decorations. It didn’t fit modern aesthetic standards.
Aunt Wang explained: “This house is decades old, and it was personally designed by Madam Pei when she was still alive. So the gentlemen are very particular about everything. Be careful when you work, don’t knock or break anything.”
She led them to the maid’s room and handed them two documents: “Memorize the profiles of the seven gentlemen. It includes their taboos, likes, and habits.”

Xia Xue Chun opened it and saw Qiao Chuchu’s photo at the bottom. She was surprised: “Why her?!”
Qi Xiao Jia asked in confusion: “Who?”
Xia Xue Chun pointed at Qiao Chuchu’s photo: “She’s the one who made me pay 760,000 for ruining a skirt!”
Qi Xiao Jia’s jaw dropped: “She’s that bitch?!”

Qiao Chuchu’s photo was next to the seven handsome men, and instead of being overshadowed, it seemed to spark even more curiosity.
In the photo, she had curly hair tucked behind her ear, showing off her cute face, smiling at the camera.
Her eyes and expression were full of playful charm.

Qi Xiao Jia grumbled: “She has seven brothers, and they’re all rich and good-looking. This bitch really hit the jackpot.”
Aunt Wang added: “She’s adopted, and her relationship with her brothers isn’t good. She’s only just come back to live here.”
Xia Xue Chun was surprised: “Adopted? Not on good terms? Are you sure?”
