Chapter 494: Chapter 494: Let Qiao Xi Suffer a Fate Worse Than Death Chapter 494: Chapter 494: Let Qiao Xi Suffer a Fate Worse Than Death Lu Yan still has utility value.
Lu Yingxue turned around and looked at Lu Yan, who was leaning against the railing, and spoke indifferently, “You have the courage to die, don’t you want revenge? Even if it ans perishing together, it’s better than dying a cowardly death.”
Lu Yan froze in place.
Blood seeped from his wound’s dressing as he stared blankly at Lu Yingxue.
Lu Yingxue’s eyes flickered, the compassionate expression in her eyes had disappeared, resembling a seductive Succubus.
“Xu Yunye and Qiao Xi, the two siblings, crippled one of your legs. Are you going to let them live happily? You love motorcycles, your leg is more important to you than your life. For Qiao Xi, there is also sothing that could make her life worse than death, what do you think it is?”
Lu Yingxue saw him sink into deep thought, enticing him like a fallen god: “To be honest, she is the disciple of National Doctor Cheng Han, I’m not sure I can defeat her. She has a significant reputation in Haicheng, unmatched by anyone.”
Lu Yan muttered, “Cousin, that b*tch is nothing compared to you.”
Lu Yingxue quietly said, “Lu Yan, our Lu Family demands perfection, not a single mistake can be made. No conclusions should be drawn before things are over.”
Lu Yan pressed his lips tightly together.
He stared at his right leg, which was virtually useless, and bit his tongue until it bled.
His mouth was filled with a strong taste of blood.
After a long while, he said, “Cousin, I understand. I will make sure she can never defeat you.”
As long as Qiao Xi dies!
Or if her hands are crippled!
She wouldn’t be able to win against anyone.
A cold smile appeared on Lu Yingxue’s lips, and she pressed the bedside bell.
Soon, nurses and caregivers in charge of the luxurious hospital room ca in. They didn’t dare to ask too much and cleaned up the room again. They helped Lu Yan onto the bed and re-dressed his wound.
The room was so clean it was as if nothing had happened.
A seed of hatred was planted in Lu Yan’s heart, fueling his blood.
Lu Yingxue poured him another cup of warm water and this ti Lu Yan drank it.
Her beautiful face bore a bit more of a smile, “Lu Yan, the people in Haicheng are cunning and skilled. Your previous minor nuisances weren’t enough to hurt them. Think carefully about it…”
“Cousin, don’t worry! No one can stop our Lu Family from entering the ranks of the Four Great Families!”
Although Lu Yan was corrupt, his loyalty to Lu Yingxue was genuine.
His father died early, and being influenced by Lu Bannong in his work also filled him with the family’s honor, making him the best tool in the hands of the Lu Family.
Otherwise, where did his title as the tyrant of the Imperial Capital co from?
Unfortunately, many people saw the kindness of Lu Yingxue and Lu Bannong but failed to notice the invisible hand pushing Lu Yan from behind.
Lu Yingxue smiled, not really expecting Lu Yan to co up with a way to deal with Qiao Xi, but causing so trouble for the opponent was also good.
The Lu family mbers were fundantally ruthless and cold-hearted, with self-interest above all.
And Lu Yingxue’s last bit of warmth was…
Knock Knock.
The door of the hospital room suddenly sounded.
“Please co in.” Lu Yingxue put on a gentle expression again.
The door opened.
A young man with a tall stature, noble deanor, and a face as fine as jade appeared. His slender fingers held a bouquet of flowers, and his casual outfit made him look even more handso and distinguished.
His eyes were exceptionally beautiful, and while speaking, seed to carry a seducing hook that made one unable to resist falling into them.
But at the sa ti, the clarity and restraint in his deanor were srizing.
The gentleman of the Imperial Capital, gentle as jade but with a just-right touch of aloofness.
It was as if they were close yet distant.
His voice, clear as a mountain spring, rang out with an inexplicable undertone, “May I co in?”
“Zhong Yi…”
Lu Yingxue’s lips slightly parted as she softly uttered his na, a faint joy surfacing in her heart.
This was her last warmth and attachnt.
Ever since she first laid eyes on Zhong Yi, she had been dazzled by his appearance. Later on, she watched him rise to prominence in the Imperial Capital, even soon to take the position of the Zhong Family heir.
After the engagent and the exchange of family tokens, Lu Yingxue treated Zhong Yi as her fiancé, allowing her feelings for him to deepen.
She loved this powerful man, as well as the overwhelming influence behind him.
A sincere smile appeared on Lu Yingxue’s face, yet she held back a woman’s modesty as she said, “What brings you here all of a sudden?”
Zhong Yi’s tone was indifferent, “I ca to visit the sick.”
Wan Jiang rubbed his nose and muttered under his breath. Young Master Zhong really was a master of ti managent. He was ambiguous with his cousin on one side, and here he was, trying to make his presence felt in front of his cousin.
Soone really could play two boats so smoothly.
Hearing that he had co to visit the sick, Lu Yingxue’s face showed a touch of gentleness, “Why trouble yourself to co in person?”
It really gave the Lu Family great honor for Young Master Zhong to visit.
Zhong Yi’s eyes and brows were picturesque, his voice low, “Because you are here. Hearing that you didn’t go ho all night, I was very worried about you.”
Lu Yingxue lowered her head and smiled faintly, exposing her fair neck.
Zhong Yi did have her in his heart.
The more significant she was in Zhong Yi’s heart, the better it was for the Lu Family.
“Don’t stand at the door, co in quickly.” Lu Yingxue fully opened the door to the sickroom and stepped aside.
Zhong Yi walked over to Lu Yan’s bedside, holding a bouquet of flowers, as Lu Yan struggled to sit up.
Zhong Yi extended his hand to press against his chest, “You should lie down.”
“Young Master Zhong…”
Lu Yan felt sowhat touched.
This was the first outsider to visit him, and he was the future heir of the Imperial Capital’s Zhong Family. However, his peripheral vision caught the differently colored chrysanthemums in the bouquet, giving him a strange expression.
Bringing chrysanthemums for a visit to the sick?
Following his gaze, Zhong Yi looked at the flowers in his arms and said, “Don’t you like them? I also think they’re not quite appropriate; it’s all because Wan Jiang didn’t explain clearly to the florist.”
Wan Jiang took the bla, quickly explaining, “Young Master Lu, it’s my fault! I thought chrysanthemums of this season are the best, and they represent integrity and tenacity. I thought they were most suitable for you… If you don’t like them, I’ll throw them away right now.”
Lu Yan reached out and grabbed the bouquet of chrysanthemums, “I like them, thank you for your kind intentions.”
Integrity and tenacity!
During his most vulnerable monts, he indeed needed encouragent.
Zhong Yi’s face was always smiling, and compared to Lu Yingxue, he indeed resembled two gold-threaded jade-clad bodhisattvas, fitting in so ways.
He stood by the bed, looking down at Lu Yan, his tone incredibly sincere, “I heard that your right leg is completely disabled, my condolences. I also know about what happened last night. But there might be one piece of news that you siblings haven’t heard yet.”
Zhong Yi hesitated, as if he didn’t want to strike them with the news.
“What news?”
Lu Yan frowned and asked, Lu Yingxue seed much calr, but a dark shade flickered in her eyes.
