A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 2091

Lin Wenjing let out a giggle in response. “You're so smart, Ms. Xu! It's no wonder you have Mr. Chu wrapped around your finger! I only found out about my pregnancy last month. The doctor said I'm already two months in. Once this is over, my boyfriend and I will go to his hometown and get married. I plan to go on our honeymoon after that before the baby comes. My boyfriend and I have been discussing this for quite a while. We're going to see the aurora in Corleon. You know how I like snowy places, right? Well, I heard there'll be snow as far as the eye can see!”

Lin Wenjing was already starting to visualize what her long vacation would be like.

“That sounds amazing!” Xu Lei couldn't help but feel happy for her.

“Hehe! You should try to win Mr. Chu over! It's true that he already has a family, but it's perfectly normal for a man like him to have multiple wives! I think he's a man you can entrust yourself to, Ms. Xu! I'm sure you'll have a happy life if you and Mr. Chu end up together!” Lin Wenjing said with a chuckle.

She was grinning from ear to ear at the thought of getting married, going on a vacation, having a baby, and starting her own little family.

The look on Xu Lei's face turned slightly gloomy when she heard that.

Will Ye Fan and I truly end up together? I feel like this is just a one-sided love. Ye Fan probably sees me as a friend or a sister at best.

“Come on, enough talk about me. You've been working for me ever since you graduated from the university, Wenjing. All I want is for you to be happy. I'll be happy as long as you're happy. Make sure to tell me the date of your wedding. I'll be sure to attend it.”

Xu Lei was genuinely glad to see that Lin Wenjing, the young girl who had stayed by her side for so many years, was finally going to have her own family.

While the two of them were chatting away happily, the sky had slowly gotten brighter and brighter.

Soon, the golden rays of the morning sun shone across the land and into their car.

“Look, Ms. Xu! The sun is up! It won't be long before we arrive at Mount Yunding! We're going to be all right!” Lin Wenjing shouted excitedly while pointing straight ahead.

“Yeah! We're safe now!” Xu Lei replied with a smile.

However, the look of excitement on Lin Wenjing's face was soon replaced by shock and terror.

“Get down, Ms. Xu!” she screamed at the top of her voice in fear.

A loud boom filled Xu Lei's ears before Xu Lei even realized what was going on.

Boom!

The next thing they knew, a mysterious force hit their car, which was traveling at high speeds and brought it to a sudden halt from the front.

As though they had crashed into a wall, the front part of the car was instantly crushed like a tin can.

The airbags immediately came bursting out of their respective compartments in response to the crash.

Even so, the metal strips from the car's hood still went right through Lin Wenjing's body.

It all happened so quickly that she didn't even have time to scream before dying on the spot.

Xu Lei, who was sitting in the back seat, crashed head-first into the back of the front seat.

Blood was trickling down her forehead as she struggled against the intense pain and dizziness to stay conscious.

Xu Lei clenched her teeth as she slowly lifted her head to look outside the car and assess the situation.

The car has come to a complete halt, and there's a figure standing in front of it... I can't believe this... Our car was going at such a high speed, and yet, he stopped it with his bare hands!

“You're Xu Lei, the head of the Xu family, right? That was quite a brilliant escape plan you came up with. You even managed to fool our elder, Mr. Duoli,” said the man.

He was standing there with his hands behind his back like a victor staring down the defeated.

On his wrist was a clearly visible tattoo of a blazing sun with clouds.

Of course, Xu Lei couldn't care less about Chu Sect at the time.

She began frantically searching for Lin Wenjing the moment her mind began to clear up, but all she found was blood everywhere.

“Wenjing? Are you all right, Wenjing?” she cried out with tears in her eyes, but there was no reply.

The two of us were fantasizing about the future just seconds ago! Lin Wenjing was going to become a mother! She even came up with a really romantic plan about how she and her boyfriend would get married and start a family together! She had it all mapped out, but it's all gone now...

Consumed by guilt and regret, Xu Lei began wailing like crazy, “It was you! You killed Wenjing, you heartless b*stard! Why would you kill her? She didn't do anything to you!”

Her tears kept falling as she cursed at Chu Sect's cruelty.

“I think you should be more worried about yourself, Ms. Xu. Our elder has ordered us to kill every single remnant of the Dragon God Hall, so this is where you will die. I hear that you're still unmarried, Ms. Xu. Your parents have blessed you with a pretty face and an amazing figure. It's a shame you have to die before experiencing the beauty that life has to offer. You have only yourself to blame for choosing the wrong side,” the man said coldly with a faint smile.

The elder had a look of pity in his eyes as he stared at Xu Lei.

Huh... I really would've spared her life if she wasn't a remnant of the Dragon God Hall... She's such a beautiful woman! It'd be nice if I could take her in as my subordinate, wife, or even mistress! It's a shame she's with the Dragon God Hall and associated with that guy. Chu Sect has ordered us to kill all who are associated with him, and disobeying that order is punishable by death. I'd much rather stay alive than risk my life for a woman, even if she is a real beauty!

“It's over, Ms. Xu. I'll put you out of your misery right now,” the elder said coldly as though he was handing out her death sentence.

He then raised his hand and brought it down on her throat like a spear.

Realizing that there was no cheating death this time, Xu Lei gave Mount Yunding and Yunzhou one final glance. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

This is the city that I have lived in for almost ten years but now... I'm going to say goodbye to it forever. Well, I have no regrets, though. I don't regret meeting Ye Fan and dedicating my life to him.

Xu Lei mustered whatever strength she had left and screamed at the Chu Sect elder in front of her, “Just you wait, you b*stard... Ye Fan will be here soon! He'll avenge me, Wenjing, and all the people of China!”

She then turned to look at Mount Yunding as she cried out, “Goodbye, Ye Fan! If I do meet you again in the next life, I'll be sure to keep you all to myself!”

Tears flowed down Xu Lei's cheeks as she slowly closed her eyes and accepted her fate.

The Chu Sect elder's strike was about to end her life when a booming voice came from the horizon.

“You silly girl! Why are you talking about the next life when your life has only begun? I don't want to hear you talking about the next life ever again, got it?”

Xu Lei's eyes shot wide open when she heard that.

She then glanced at the horizon and saw a green light heading in her direction at lightning speed.
