To make the ghost fire disappear from them, there was only one way.
That was to turn them into dead people!
As long as one is not dead, the ghost fire will not dissipate!
Murong Mingyuan's pupils instantly contracted.
Chu Yazhi instinctively screamed, "I don't want to die!"
But Li Qianfan looked at her coldly, his expression shifting rapidly.
He believed his grandmother would never lie to him.
He absolutely did not want these two women with dirty souls to bear his name.
Then, to let them die—
What was so wrong with that?
After all, Li Qianfan felt that there was no real necessity for people like them to be alive.
"Please, don't kill me."
Chu Yazhi saw what Li Qianfan was thinking and hurriedly crawled over again, forcefully hugging his left leg, pleading incoherently, "I'm still young, and I'm still beautiful. You have to believe me, I will never disappoint you!"
Although Murong Mingyuan did not crawl over, her face was pale, and her body trembled.
"Forget it, let them have it then. Anyway, it's not just me in this world named Qianfan."
Li Qianfan ultimately couldn't bring himself to kill them. After talking with Yang Xiao for a while longer, he ended the call.
The two women immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't you dare show yourselves in front of me again, remember that."
Li Qianfan kicked Chu Yazhi away and said indifferently, then opened the door and walked out of the private room.
Finally, after dealing with Lan Yunhai daring to harm his mature wife, Li Qianfan felt immensely relieved.
Next up was to "twist the facts" and trick Su Ziyu into having a child with him!
Heh heh.
Thinking of his mature wife holding their child and standing in front of the ancestral hall of Li Family Village, her face filled with shock, Li Qianfan felt an indescribable surge of pride.
The heavy rain continued to pour, but Li Qianfan didn't care.
As he was about to step out into the rain, his phone rang again.
It was Jing Ran.
After answering the call, Li Qianfan complained irritably, "Aunt Ran, what are you doing? You branded my name onto those two women! Isn't this an insult to me?"
"Brat, I knew you'd complain after you've had your fill."
Jing Ran cursed and said, "You don't appreciate Aunt Ran's good intentions at all. Two beautiful women wandering around together in the dark, isn't that exciting? Ha, haha."
Listening to Jing Ran's wicked laughter, Li Qianfan felt truly exasperated.
He quickly interrupted her laughter, "Tell me, why are you calling me?"
"Even though Aunt Ran has left Tiandong, I'm still worried about your affairs. Sigh. I was afraid my son would be tricked by the Lan family, the Murong family, and others, so I've been eavesdropping on their calls."
Jing Ran sighed softly and said, "Except for the old man Lan, those people are basically two-faced murderers. Lan family's third son, seems to be called Lan Yeming, called a woman named Lan Min."
Lan Min?
Li Qianfan knew her.
It was the woman who used to be at Jin Chao Group and wanted to be Li Zhaoyu's secretary.
Lan Ye Beauty Salon?
Li Qianfan knew that too.
That was the property he left for Chu Yazhi to sustain herself.
"There are still smart people in the Lan family. They think that after you used those two women last night, you'll never pay attention to them again. The Lan family hates Lan Yunhai's family and doesn't want to leave the salon to Chu Yazhi."
Jing Ran said, "They've contacted more than a dozen buyers behind the old man Lan's back and are preparing to auction it tomorrow morning. It's likely that Lan Min has already gone to the salon to observe you secretly and see if you care about Chu Yazhi."
Li Qianfan understood.
Did he care about Chu Yazhi?
Who cared about a shameless old hag!
But the actions of some people in the Lan family behind the old man's back—
"Son. Remember! Even if Chu Yazhi is just your dog, you can't let her be bullied by anyone."
Jing Ran finished speaking and hung up.
"Damn it."
Li Qianfan frowned and cursed softly. His good mood from earlier was significantly diminished.
However, he also understood that it was normal for the Lan family to act this way behind Lan Lao's back.
After all, Lan Yunhai's family had turned the Lan family into a laughingstock of the century.
Everyone in the Lan family hated their entire family to the bone.
But Lan Ximing was already dead, and Lan Yunhai was completely crippled.
If they didn't deal with Chu Yazhi, the only survivor, who would they deal with?
"Aunt Ran is right, even when hitting a dog, you have to consider its owner."
Li Qianfan muttered to himself, then turned and kicked open the door of the Plum Blossom Hall private room.
Inside the private room.
Murong Mingyuan leaned on the sofa, and Chu Yazhi leaned against the wall.
Both women stared blankly out the floor-to-ceiling window at the valley.
The sudden kicking open of the door startled them.
Upon seeing Li Qianfan, Murong Mingyuan instinctively hugged herself and curled up.
Chu Yazhi looked at him with a dazed expression.
"You."
Li Qianfan said to Chu Yazhi, "Put on your clothes and come with me."
Chu Yazhi asked foolishly, "Come with you?"
"Yes."
Li Qianfan snapped impatiently, "Don't you understand?"
"I understand! I'll put on my clothes right away!"
Chu Yazhi sobered up, her dazed expression turning into ecstasy.
She didn't know why Li Qianfan had suddenly changed his mind and wanted to take her with him.
But she knew this was her only chance to cling to a powerful figure!
She quickly got up and went to a corner of the private room to get some clothes.
Who said women were slow to get dressed?
A few minutes later, Chu Yazhi was fully dressed.
"Young Master."
Chu Yazhi glanced at Murong Mingyuan and asked Li Qianfan, "What about her?"
"Let her die if she wants to die, who has the time to care about her?"
Li Qianfan loathed this woman from the bottom of his heart for supporting Lan Yunhai's wickedness and almost killing Mo Hongti.
He said coldly and casually, then opened the door and walked out.
The rain was heavier now, with lightning and thunder.
The rainwater hitting the roof even stirred up mist.
An umbrella appeared above Li Qianfan's head.
Each private room at Fengyun Villa was equipped with several umbrellas for guests.
Chu Yazhi solicitously held the umbrella for Li Qianfan, while she stood in the rain, slightly hunched over, her clothes instantly soaked.
Her figure is really good—
Li Qianfan glanced at her from the corner of his eye as he entered the silent hall.
The two coffins in the hall and the bodies of Lan Ximing and others had already been taken away by the Lan family.
The guests who came to congratulate the Lan and Murong wedding had also left that morning.
But the refined and elegant young master Lan Yunhai lay on a stretcher behind the hall door.
With a pair of vacant eyes, he stared at the rain mist outside, reflecting on his once glorious and more exciting life.
When the Lan family left, they didn't even look at him!
It was estimated that if Lan Yunhai were to be torn apart by wild dogs in front of the Lan family, no one would pay any attention.
In the empty hall.
A cripple with broken meridians looked at the rain mist in a daze.
What a desolate scene this was?
Lan Yunhai's dull eyes suddenly moved.
Because he heard the familiar, pleasant sound of high heels tapping on the ground.
He quickly turned his head and looked towards the back door of the hall.
He saw his mother walking in, her face full of obsequiousness, holding an umbrella for Li Qianfan.
Tears of happiness suddenly welled up in Lan Yunhai's eyes.
He struggled and called out hoarsely, "Mom! Hurry, take me to the hospital!"
Chu Yazhi's face, full of fawning, froze as Lan Yunhai spoke.
Within a few seconds, Chu Yazhi made a decision.
She said softly to Li Qianfan, "Young Master, please wait for me outside the front door. I need to say a few words to him."
Li Qianfan grunted noncommittally and, without looking at Lan Yunhai, quickly walked out the front door of the hall.
"Yunhai, my good son."
Chu Yazhi walked up to Lan Yunhai and slowly knelt on one knee, her voice as maternal as ever.
"Mom."
Lan Yunhai cried and smiled, "Quick, hurry and take me to the hospital."
Chu Yazhi, however, said, "Yunhai, your meridians have all been severed. You'll never be able to stand up again in this lifetime. More importantly, you've permanently lost the qualification to continue my life for me."
"Mom!"
Lan Yunhai said urgently, "Don't listen to Li Qianfan and the others scaring you. Medical technology is so advanced now, I can definitely stand up again. As for being unable to be a man, compared to living a healthy life, it's nothing. Mom, Grandpa and the others have abandoned me. My dad is dead. And the most important thing is that Murong Mingyuan has also become Li Qianfan's woman. In this world, you are the only relative I have left!"
He desperately wanted to grab his mother's hand.
But he was powerless—
He could only say urgently, "Mom, take me to the hospital quickly! I want to try and stand up as soon as possible. Once I can stand, I will strive to become a strong person! As long as I work hard enough, one day, I will be able to trample Li Qianfan under my feet! Make him become what I am now! Then I will grind him to dust to wash away the shame of him defiling you."
As Lan Yunhai spoke, his eyes seemed to burn with a fierce flame.
An unhealthy flush also appeared on his cheeks.
But tears dripped onto his face.
The little flames in his eyes were immediately extinguished by his mother's tears.
"Silly child, I knew you would say this."
Chu Yazhi wiped away her tears and said with a gentle smile, "I also believe that with the powerful drive of revenge, you might actually be able to stand up again and do what you want to do."
Lan Yunhai gritted his teeth, "Mom, I will never disappoint you!"
Chu Yazhi nodded and said, "Precisely because you won't disappoint me, I've decided to abandon you."
