Chapter 49

She covered her head, then looked at Fu Huaiyan again.

"Right, besides you being able to see the words above my head, I feel like Siyao can sometimes guess what I'm thinking too. What's going on with that?"

Fu Huaiyan said, "Because we discovered that everyone in the Fu Family can see the thoughts above your head. But don't worry, outsiders can't see them."

Su Wanqiao felt even more mortified this time. She felt like a walking broadcast channel, with everyone knowing every last one of her little secrets.

How was she supposed to face the Fu Family from now on?

[The problem is, with my thoughts being heard, I can't even conveniently have my own little private schemes anymore.]

Fu Huaiyan smiled as he read it, feeling that Su Wanqiao was truly adorable.

"Don't worry. Everyone in the Fu Family knows where to draw the line. They won't do anything that makes you uncomfortable, and they'll all treat you with respect. Besides, if you're really afraid they'll see what you're thinking at a particular moment, you can choose to leave immediately. Then none of them will be able to see it."

Su Wanqiao heard this.

It seemed that was her only option.

As long as she wasn't in the same place as them, they wouldn't see what she was thinking at the time.

Besides, hadn't everyone in the Fu Family already heard about their own endings? That would explain why Fu Yichu had given her gifts.

They probably all wanted to change their own storylines. In that case, there would be plenty more things they'd need to ask of her in the future.

Now that Fu Huaiyan had finally come clean with Su Wanqiao, the questions he had kept hidden in his heart came pouring out as though a floodgate had opened.

"Qiaoqiao, I really want to know how they ultimately killed me, and what happened that day. Please tell me."

He earnestly took Su Wanqiao's hand and gazed intently at her, desperately wanting to know how he had ultimately died.

Su Wanqiao's eyes shifted. She said nothing, intending to test Fu Huaiyan's mind-reading ability.

[This secret is worth twenty million yuan. Pay up, and I'll tell you.]

"..."

Without another word, Fu Huaiyan hurriedly searched his suit pocket for his checkbook, his movements not hesitating in the slightest. This truly made Su Wanqiao feel firsthand just how astonishing mind reading was.

"Qiaoqiao, here's twenty million."

Su Wanqiao accepted the check with a beaming smile before readily saying, "You died in a plane crash. Everyone on board died. After the plane went down, not even the wreckage was found. No evidence was left behind."

Fu Huaiyan was horrified. This outcome shocked him deeply. He had imagined that someone might have hired a killer to murder him, or that he might have been killed in any number of other ways.

He had never considered a plane crash as one of the possibilities.

He asked hesitantly, "Was it a commercial flight?"

"Yes. More than two hundred people died in total, I think. Although it was only a passage of text in the story, in reality, those were two hundred bloody human lives and their poor, shattered families."

Even though Su Wanqiao had transmigrated into a book, this world was now a real world to her. The people here were all flesh and blood, with parents and families. The tragedy that might very well happen made her deeply saddened.

Fu Huaiyan's heart ached, and he hated this book's plot more than he ever had before.

Because this plane crash wasn't an accident, but man-made. The man-made conspiracy was meant to kill him, indirectly killing more than two hundred innocent people on the plane. How could that not make one's hair stand on end with outrage?

At that moment, Fu Huaiyan truly wanted to find Fu Yichu, beat him up, and teach him a harsh lesson.

After all, that brat was outright an accomplice to murder, even joining forces with the male lead to kill his own older brother without distinguishing right from wrong. Unless he taught him a lesson, he truly couldn't quell the hatred in his heart!

But that raised a question: how should he teach Fu Yichu a lesson?

In fact, Fu Yichu's character role was to fight him for power and profit. That trait had already been summed up.

Never mind how well-behaved the brat was every day now. The fear was that, at some unknown point, the plot would influence him again and turn him into a source of ruin for the family.

So...

A marriage alliance. He had to make him enter a marriage alliance.

The Fu Family needed men like them to expand its territory and exchange resources!

He would give Fu Yichu something to do, have him settle down and establish himself early, and send him off to wreak havoc on another family. Then he wouldn't have to keep making things unpleasant for him every day. With a new battlefield, he would no longer cross paths with the male lead's storyline.

Seeing Fu Huaiyan's shifting expression, Su Wanqiao couldn't help advising him, "Huaiyan, don't blame your third brother too much. Who in this story has a noble character role, anyway? Don't keep dwelling on this. Now that we already know the plot, there will naturally be ways to change it."

Fu Huaiyan acknowledged her words, then immediately said, "Qiaoqiao, what do you think about having Fu Yichu enter a marriage alliance?"

"Uh, a marriage alliance? Why decide that all of a sudden?"

Su Wanqiao thought.

[That's completely different from the original book's plot. Fu Yichu originally died without getting married. Although he arranged for Huaiyan to die in a plane crash, he only joined forces with Gu Yubai for a brief act of revenge. They were never of one mind, though, and differences arose. He then wanted to turn back and restore the Fu Family, but things went against his wishes. In the end, Gu Yubai hired someone to kill him.]

Fu Huaiyan's face went pale for an instant.

Even knowing that his younger brother had killed him...

When he heard that his younger brother would ultimately die, his heart still ached faintly.

In fact, through all this, Fu Huaiyan could sense that Fu Yichu's feelings toward him were complicated.

In any case, Fu Huaiyan felt distressed and heartbroken. He didn't know what Fu Yichu would think or feel in that situation. He hoped that day would never come. He would never let this plot unfold.

Realizing she had accidentally let her thoughts slip again, Su Wanqiao sighed and comforted him.

"Nothing like that will happen. Those are all events from the original book. Right now, we all know that coming into contact with the male lead brings misfortune. With our abilities, we can definitely change the plot. Haven't we already verified that?"
