693 A Million Times for You 55 (1/2)
”Ms. Xu Youran, you're a mother-to-be too. May I ask how you'd brought yourself to attempt to take my life time and time again? Were you planning to watch my son become motherless?”
”I can't outargue you. If you're here to see how pathetic of a plight I'm in, you may leave after you're done.”
In high spirits, An Xiaoning answered, ”Of course I came to see how pathetic you are. I have to take a good look since it's the last time I'll be seeing you. I'm sure that even if you weren't here right now, you'd be dying by my hands sooner or later. It's only a matter of time. We've decided to be kind and spare you from a torturous punishment. How would you like to die?”
”Peacefully,” Xu Youran muttered.
”That doesn't seem to suit you.”
”Didn't you ask me how I wanted to die?”
”I did ask you that question, but I didn't say that you'd be allowed to die in the way you prefer. How about slathering you in oil? At least there won't be any blood or wounds.”
An Xiaoning turned around and said to Jin Qingyan, ”How does that sound?”
”Great.”
An Xiaoning turned around to leave while Jin Qingyan followed closely behind.
The door was closed shut with a loud thud.
Youran felt her body turn to jelly, with her limbs, which were tied to the bed, being the only thing supporting her sluggish body.
She could sense that her death was near.
The fear sent shivers down her spine and caused her to shudder in terror.
At this very moment, Xu Youran was filled with immense regret.
If only she didn't provoke Jin Qingyan and An Xiaoning at the start and remained in the Xu family as their obedient daughter, she could then have continued enjoying the clout of being their daughter and her real identity would never have been exposed. She would then have gotten to live life in peace.
Yet, she was blinded by her desire for revenge.
In the end, not only did she not get the revenge she wanted, but she also even landed herself in such a dire plight and was about to lose her life.
She only understood now that being alive was the most important and that material possessions, wealth, status, and power were only secondary.
However, it was all too late now.
There was no longer a chance for her to start afresh again.
Bam! The door, which had been slammed shut earlier, was flung open again, after which eight men entered.
Xu Youran turned as pale as a sheet at the sight of them and retreated back in fear. Keeping her body plastered against the wall, she yelled, ”What are you trying to do!?!”
Fan Shixin entered the room and interjected, ”Ms. Xu, what else do you think we're going to do? We're obviously not going to continue letting you enjoy staying here without paying rent. Enjoy your death.”
”No, I don't want to die!”
It was only normal for one to be filled with immense fear when on the brink of death.
No one would be able to face death fearlessly.
Xu Youran's struggling and resisting were proven to be futile. Soon, she was pinned onto the bed with her limbs tied to the four corners of the bed frame and a sheet of paper that was drenched in oil covering her face.
Her head was tightly restrained, not allowing her to move an inch at all.
She was initially still struggling with all her might. However, the oxygen she could breathe began to decrease gradually and she was soon deprived of it altogether.
She struggled hard to breathe, but to no avail since the oiled paper was covering her nostrils and mouth.
Xu Youran was in extreme discomfort, and she wanted badly to cry, but there were no tears.
She began to lose consciousness slowly, and several images began flashing through her mind. She recalled the times when she painstakingly tried to harm An Xiaoning, the time when her subordinate reported to her about throwing Chi Rui'er down a high building, as well as the time when she and Yuan Mingzhu were discussing Mrs. Jin's death merrily…
Everything seemed like a blur now.
If she could have another shot at life, she wouldn't be so calculative and bent on seeking revenge. She would just enjoy life peacefully…
But will there be another life?
