Chapter 244: Choice, Sudden Death



When the eldest wife heard Xu Hanshan say this, she could no longer sit still.

"Xu Hanshan! How dare you!"

Xu Hanshan didn't even look at the first wife, he raised his hand and fired a shot.

The bullet shot out of the chamber and went straight through Mr. Xu's shoulder.

Blood splattered, bullet shells fell to the ground with a ping-pong sound, and the screams of pain from Mr. Xu Er and the terrified screams of Mrs. Xu Lanyin and her daughter rang out at the same time.

Now you will know whether you dare or not.

Xu Hanshan didn't want to waste time talking to them, and he was too lazy to kill the useless Mr. Xu. He had only one purpose for coming here today: Xu Lanyin must die.

The eldest wife covered Mr. Xu's wound with her hands and called for a doctor repeatedly, but without Xu Hanshan's order, no one could leave, and the doctor certainly could not come in.

Mr. Xu's wound was not fatal, but if it was delayed for too long and he lost too much blood, his life would be in danger.

The servants and maids had already hidden far away, but they still heard the gunshot and were silent as a mouse. They finally understood that things had changed in the Xu Mansion a long time ago, and they didn't need to serve the eldest lady so attentively from now on.

The servants also saw the problem clearly. Xu Hanshan was now the master of the Xu Mansion. Instead of trying to please the eldest wife and others who were at odds with Xu Hanshan, it would be better for them to do their jobs well and avoid dying without knowing how they did it.

Seeing no one paying any attention to her and Mr. Xu bleeding profusely, the eldest wife was completely panicked. Xu Lanyin was still hiding behind her, but the eldest wife had no time to care about him: "What do you want?!"

Xu Hanshan originally just wanted to kill Xu Lanyin, but now, he suddenly didn't want Xu Lanyin to die so easily.

He looked at the crying eldest wife and the wailing Xu Erye for a moment, then looked at Xu Lanyin who was trembling behind the eldest wife, and an idea came to his mind.

As the saying goes, killing someone destroys their heart.

Xu Lanyin thinks she is a favored child of heaven. If she knew that she is just a bargaining chip that can be abandoned at any time, would she be worse than death?

Xu Hanshan really wanted to see Xu Lanyin's expression at that time.

So he said, "Madam, the choice is now yours."

The eldest wife was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"I'll give you a chance to choose," Xu Hanshan said, playing with the gun in his hand and looking at the eldest wife's incredulous face: "Only one of your son and daughter can survive."

Xu Lan's trembling body froze, and Mr. Xu Er's painful wails also stopped abruptly. They both looked at the eldest wife, their mother.

They knew that this was Xu Hanshan's revenge, but now, their lives were in the hands of the eldest wife, and no one would not care about this.

Perhaps there are people in this world who are willing to die for their sisters and brothers, but Xu Lanyin and Xu Erye are not among them.

They don't want to die.

"Mother……"

Xu Lanyin looked at the eldest wife's tangled face and couldn't help but speak out, but Mr. Xu was provoked and yelled: "Xu Lanyin, do you still have a conscience? You are the one who caused this trouble in the first place. If it weren't for you, would I be like this now?"

"You said you would protect me! How come you, a grown man, don't have any sense of responsibility?"

The brother and sister broke off the fight and started arguing with each other. At this time, they didn't show any brotherly love at all. Instead, they seemed like enemies, insulting each other with red eyes, wishing the other would die immediately.

"You're a useless piece of shit. You've been obsessed with women and have accomplished nothing in all these years!"

"What kind of good-looking person are you? You've been living abroad for so many years, you must have long since forgotten your home. Do you still have our family in your heart?"

"If it weren't for your incompetence, and Xu Hanshan took power, would we be in this situation where we are at the mercy of others now?"

"If you have the ability, why don't you get shot yourself!"

Xu Hanshan looked at these two equally matched bastards jumping up and down with red faces as if they were clowns.

“That’s enough!”

The eldest wife finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted to stop them, and the quarrel between Xu Lanyin and Xu Erye came to an abrupt end.

They came to their senses from the quarrel and remembered that the final choice lay in the hands of the eldest wife.

Xu Lanyin held the eldest wife's hand tightly, she didn't want to die.

"If you don't make a choice, they will both die together."

Xu Hanshan had had enough of the show and felt bored.

The eldest wife shuddered and looked at Xu Lanyin.

This was her youngest daughter, whom she had personally taken care of when she was born. When she grew up, Xu Lan was lively, cheerful, pretty and lovely, which made her very proud. But now, her life was to be ended because of a concubine who was bought to bring good luck.

If she had known this day would come, she would never have agreed to buy the white jade as a blessing. Not only did it kill Mr. Xu, but it also brought back a killer like Xu Hanshan!

As she thought about it, a painful expression appeared on the eldest wife's face.

Xu Lanyin's despair grew stronger and stronger. She looked at the eldest wife and shook her head repeatedly.

"No, no mother, no..."

But in the end, the eldest wife still brushed away her hand that was clasped on her sleeve.

Perhaps she couldn't bear to see Xu Lanyin's desperate expression, so the eldest wife closed her eyes and told Xu Hanshan her decision in a resolute tone.

"Since it was Lan Yin who made the mistake, all the consequences should be borne by Lan Yin himself."

Xu Hanshan had a smile on his face. He looked at Xu Lanyin breaking down and crying, raised an eyebrow and said, "The first wife's choice is really wise."

He raised his hand and pointed the gun at Xu Lanyin.

Xu Lanyin was terrified to the extreme. She was resentful and unwilling to give in. She cried bitterly, "You will be punished. Even if I become a ghost, I will not..."

There was a bang of a gunshot.

Blood exploded from Xu Lan's chest, and she died with her eyes open before she could even utter the curse.

Xu Hanshan looked at Xu Lanyin's miserable state, wiped his hands, and threw the silk cloth on the ground: "You won't even have the chance to become a ghost."

He walked out and said to the first wife, "A doctor will be here soon. Your son will not die."

You won’t die now, but you can’t say for sure what will happen in the future.

Xu Hanshan doesn't like to leave any unfinished business.

After that day, the news that Miss Xu died suddenly of illness spread throughout Huchuan. Some people felt sorry for her, but those who knew the inside story were even more afraid of Xu Hanshan. Not only Xu Hanshan, but also Bai Yuzhi became a well-known figure who should not be provoked in the upper class circles of Huchuan.

Xu Hanshan protected her like a fierce dog protects its master, and he would bite anyone who got close to him.

After waiting for a month amid such rumors, Bai Yuzhi finally saw An Jinchou again.

"Miss Bai, are you feeling better?"

Bai Yuzhi stood in front of the car. It was not yet early autumn, but she was already wearing Xu Hanshan's cloak. The wide cloth wrapped around her entire body, making her look even slimmer.

She smiled and said, "Much better."

Everything is implied.
