Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 298: Kill Xu Wan!
Lan Qiniang knelt down and hung his head low, without uttering a single word.
He had knelt down not of his own accord, but on the old man’s command.
Li Xiaoyao, however, didn’t even glance at him. Lan Cai’s eyes reddened slightly within his embrace. She had braved the danger of being abandoned by everyone to save her grandfather. Yet, her actions were still misunderstood, which deeply saddened her.
Li Xiaoyao could feel the sorrow in Lan Cai’s heart, and a thick murderous aura erupted from the depths of his being.
"No one may insult my woman," Li Xiaoyao said with lethal intent in his eyes as he looked at Xu Wan, "Today, you must die!"
Xu Wan trembled delicately, and upon hearing this, Lan Qiniang who was kneeling on the ground, instantly stood up and angrily said, "Who do you think you..."
Before he could finish, Li Xiaoyao snorted furiously, and an invisible force struck Lan Qiniang with the weight of ten thousand catties, blasting him away.
This demonstration stunned everyone present.
The elderly patriarch’s brows furrowed slightly as he said, "Mr. Li, could you please consider this old man’s face and spare her life?"
Li Xiaoyao looked at him and said, word by word, "Do you know that she sent an assassin to Ling City to kill Cai’er? If I hadn’t been there, Cai’er would have died long ago. Do you realize that I had already given her a chance? Yet she disregarded my words. I said, if she dared to threaten Cai’er again, I would kill her!"
Upon learning of this, the patriarch flew into a rage, turning his head and barked, "Xu Wan, did you order an assassination on Cai’er?"
"No, no, I didn’t, he is lying," Xu Wan finally felt afraid. She had always thought Li Xiaoyao was merely a disciple from a large family, never expecting even the old patriarch to be so respectful towards him.
The patriarch suppressed the anger in his heart. Internal strife within the Lan Family was something he least wanted to see.
However, no matter what, Xu Wan was his daughter-in-law, and the patriarch still needed to plead for her, "Mr. Li, would you consider..."
A cold light flashed in Li Xiaoyao’s eyes, "Whoever interferes, dies!"
Today, Xu Wan had to die. No one could stop it, not even if the patriarch himself interceded.
"Dad, save me, please save me," Xu Wan begged loudly as she lay on the ground.
After witnessing the terrifying power Li Xiaoyao had shown, Xu Wan realized she had offended a ruthless person, and she placed all her hopes on the patriarch.
With a heavy sigh, the patriarch shook his head and said to Lan Xinyu, who was supporting him, "Help me walk outside. It has been too long since I’ve breathed fresh air."
That statement represented the patriarch’s stance.
If the death of Xu Wan could quell Li Xiaoyao’s anger, the patriarch believed it was worth it.
"Dad!"
The severely injured Lan Qiniang, upon hearing these words, cried out in desperation!
"The Lan Family has ancestral teachings: one must not strike down a fellow family member. Xu Wan has violated these teachings and shall be expelled from the family. From today onwards, Xu Wan is no longer a member of the Lan Family!"
After declaring these words, the patriarch left the sick room.
Lan Shili, the next in line to the patriarch, stood within the sick room but said nothing.
He had no idea what to say and realized that even if he did, it would be futile.
Lan Shili was not a fool; even his father treated Li Xiaoyao with utmost respect, and when Li Xiaoyao decided to kill Xu Wan, ultimately, the patriarch had conceded.
Seeing such a person, if Lan Shili still regarded him as just an ordinary young man, he truly didn’t deserve to be sitting in his position.
Lan Shili shook his head, sighed, and turned to leave the sick room.
Lan Qiniang clutched his stomach, ran over to Xu Wan, and held her tightly.
"With me here, with me here, no one will hurt you."
Xu Wan cried out in fear, "I’m scared, Qiniang, I’m so scared."
Li Xiaoyao, with his hand on Lan Cai’s shoulder, walked step by step, his gaze cold and merciless.
"Mr. Li, we know we were wrong, we know it. Please, have mercy and spare my wife," Lan Qiniang pleaded like a dog, kneeling and begging on the ground.
Lan Cai couldn’t bear to watch, but just as she was about to speak up and plead for her uncle and aunt, Li Xiaoyao saw through her thoughts and said, "Cai’er, she has tried to kill you time and again. You can’t be merciful to such a person!"
So Lan Cai swallowed the words that had come to her lips and said, "I’ll go out first."
Even though she didn’t plead for mercy, she couldn’t bear to watch Li Xiaoyao kill her aunt before her eyes.
But there were still many people in the hospital room who had not left, until Lan Shili finally expelled them all with a soft shout.
In the room, only Li Xiaoyao and Lan Qiniang’s couple remained.
The strange silence made the couple’s hearts grow even more uneasy.
Li Xiaoyao suddenly let out a cold laugh and looked at Lan Qiniang, "You defend her like this, but did this woman think of you at all when she was fooling around with other men? Did she feel any shame?"
"What?" Lan Qiniang was stunned, then shook his head immediately, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Xu Wan’s body swayed, and she shook her head repeatedly, "Don’t talk nonsense, I didn’t."
"Really? You thought the sordid affair between you and Zhang Qingfeng would go unnoticed by everyone?"
Xu Wan’s face turned pale, and she suddenly became speechless.

Lan Qiniang looked at her angrily and demanded, "Is what he’s saying true?"
"I didn’t, Qiniang, believe me..."
"Whether you did or not doesn’t matter because you’re about to die." A glint of cold light flashed in his eyes, and Li Xiaoyao slightly raised his hand. A thread of energy shot out from his fingertip, piercing through Xu Wan’s forehead.
Xu Wan’s pupils dilated instantaneously, her face still showing fear as the warmth of her body quickly faded away.
Having killed Xu Wan, Li Xiaoyao turned and left, his expression so usual that no one could tell he had just killed a person.
Lan Qiniang held the dead Xu Wan and wept aloud.
No matter whether Xu Wan had been unfaithful or not, after over twenty years as his married wife, the pain of witnessing her death was unbearable.
As Li Xiaoyao left the hospital room, the previously bustling corridor instantly quieted down, and all members of the Lan Family looked at him with respect.
Initially unimpressed, upon seeing him again, he had reached heights they could only look up to.
The sounds of Lan Qiniang’s loud weeping from the hospital room struck a chord with everyone.
The wife of the prominent third son of the Lan Family had been killed so openly.
Even the Family Head of the Lan Family was powerless.
This was truly shocking to the people, and it also made their blood boil with excitement. Enjoy exclusive chapters from novelbuddy
If one day, I could reach such heights, my life would be without regrets!
When Li Xiaoyao found Lan Cai, she was with the old master and Lan Shili, among others.
Lan Shili was reporting the recent status of the Lan Family to the old master, and upon learning that Lan Shili had been forcing Lan Cai to marry into the Zheng Family, the old master became furious on the spot.
"Nonsense, when did the daughters of my Lan Family become so cheap? Not to mention that my Lan Family has not fallen, even if it had, we wouldn’t stoop to trading our daughters for benefits! A bunch of nonsense; if I had been in a coma for a few more days, you all would have ruined the entire Lan Family," the old master said angrily, and by chance, Li Xiaoyao overheard this conversation.
In Li Xiaoyao’s heart, his impression of the old master improved significantly.
[Everyone is at the hospital tonight and tomorrow night for the vigil. Just saw the first snow, don’t forget to put on more clothes tomorrow.]
