The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind

Chapter 449: Chapter 448 Epilogue (8)

How could Su Ran not understand Yu Zhuyin’s words?

She wanted to live, wanted her daughter to live — why was it so difficult?

Working with Bao Yan was like seeking the tiger’s skin.

He had tricked her by lowering her guard with the surgery for her daughter, then used Youyou as bait to block Jiang Nanshu’s humanity.

Fortunately, Bao Yan had won the bet.

Jiang Nanshu was not a cold-blooded person.

She could not ignore the fading of a young life.

So it was Jiang Nanshu who had given her daughter life.

Su Ran closed her eyes in pain, tears streaming down her cheeks.

“Shoot already, what are you hesitating for? It would be great for Lu Qingyan to see how the person he loves gets her head blown off, and he too can taste the pain of losing a loved one,” Bao Yan said languidly.

Suddenly, Su Ran pointed the gun at Bao Yan and fired rapidly.

The people around Bao Yan shielded him.

The anticipated bloody scene did not occur.

Instead, two black gun muzzles were pointed at her.

Bao Yan smiled cruelly, “As expected, you’re an ungrateful one. I gambled on your determination to save your daughter. Hence, the first bullet was blank, the second is real. How foolish. Now, I’ll make you wish you were dead.”

Su Ran looked at the gun muzzles, now knowing she had lost the bet.

She suddenly burst out laughing, tears choking her laughter.

She turned to Yu Zhuyin, smiling gently at Youyou, “Baby, promise Mommy, you must live a healthy and peaceful life.”

Then she turned to Yu Zhuyin, her voice turning shrill, “Cover her eyes!”

Yu Zhuyin instinctively covered Youyou’s eyes.

“Bang!”

Jiang Nanshu’s eyelashes trembled.

Blood splattered in the sunlight.

It stained the ground red.

Su Ran had committed suicide.

With the second bullet in her gun.

Unable to kill Bao Yan, and not wanting to kill Jiang Nanshu who had saved her daughter, she took her own life.

At the moment she fell, Su Ran felt she was finally free.

Her soul was liberated, the sun warm, and she saw her mother coming to get her. Her mother was actually very inadequate in every way, but her love for her was unmatched.

Just like her love for Youyou.

Bao Yan frowned in displeasure and ordered his men, “Drag her away, she’s made a mess.”

Yu Zhuyin’s face was pale, her hand covering Youyou’s eyes also trembling.

Youyou, too young to understand, wrestled Yu Zhuyin’s hand away to look for her mom.

Looking around, she couldn’t see her mom, just a pool of blood where her mom had stood.

“Where’s Mommy? Doesn’t she want Youyou anymore?”

Yu Zhuyin, her lips trembling, finally lied to the child, “She wants you, she’s just very tired and has gone to rest.”

Youyou, hearing her mom was tired, nodded, “Okay, I’ll wait for Mommy to wake up and come to get me.”

Yu Zhuyin’s mouth twitched, a tear rolling down her cheek.

Not because of Su Ran, but because of Youyou.

This reminded her of fifteen years ago when her parents were shot in front of her by enemies; she really hated dead people.

“Bao Yan!” A voice filled with anger rang out.

Jiang Nanshu’s back stiffened.

She closed her eyes slightly — Lu Qingyan, you still came.

Bao Yan smirked, “The main character has arrived. You didn’t bring anyone with you, did you?”

“Let her go, whatever you want I’ll give it to you,” Lu Qingyan’s voice came from behind.

Bao Yan chuckled, “Would you also give me your entire Lu Family?”

“I would give it all to you, just let her go,” Lu Qingyan didn’t even hesitate.

He only wanted Jiang Nanshu to be safe.

It was only then that Jiang Nanshu turned around to look at him.

Lu Qingyan was also covered in dirt, his normally clean shirt now muddy, his eyes bloodshot.

Seeing Jiang Nanshu safe, he gave her a smile and whispered softly, “Don’t be afraid.”

Jiang Nanshu stared at him blankly, perhaps that was the courage given by being loved.

She knew that no matter where she was, he would find her.

It was just a bit foolish.

“Ha, love indeed is stronger than gold, enviable. I could do the same for my Wanwan if she were still here,” Bao Yan murmured.

Jiang Nanshu scoffed coldly but said nothing.

The saying that late affection is cheaper than grass is true.

He would marry into the Bo Family for them, so how could he give it all up for Xu Xingwan?

“But what I hate the most is precisely your kind of people.” Bao Yan threw a gun in front of Lu Qingyan and had two dark muzzles aimed at Jiang Nanshu, his smile malicious, “Lu Qingyan, I don’t want your company anymore. Let’s test how far you would go for your wife. Shoot yourself, and I’ll have them withdraw one muzzle. You have ten seconds, or the gun will be turned on your wife’s stomach.”

Lu Qingyan bent down to pick up the gun, and only then did Jiang Nanshu speak up, “He’s lying to you; even if you die, he won’t let me go.”

Lu Qingyan looked deeply into Jiang Nanshu with his handsome brows and eyes, smiling tenderly, “I know.”

“The countdown begins.”

“Bang.” Lu Qingyan almost hesitated not at all as he shot his left shoulder.

He didn’t even frown, still smiling at Jiang Nanshu, “Baby, close your eyes.”

Jiang Nanshu’s lips trembled slightly, her usually calm eyes wide, hot tears falling, Jiang Nanshu tasted the saltiness.

The gun aimed at Jiang Nanshu was withdrawn.

It was only then that Lu Qingyan shot himself a second time.

He breathed heavily, unable to hold the gun steady. If possible, he wanted to blow Bao Yan’s head off.

But there were too many people he needed to protect in front of him.

Not until Lu Qingyan could no longer support himself and collapsed to his knees did Bao Yan step out of the crowd with a contemptuous look, “You really are obedient.”

Bao Yan casually pulled out a gun, aimed it at Jiang Nanshu, and smiled slightly, “I said I’d withdraw two shots, never said there wouldn’t be a third. I might as well send you two off as doomed lovers.”

Lu Qingyan’s eyes widened.

Jiang Nanshu suddenly turned and kicked Bao Yan, snatching his gun and quickly shooting towards his chest.

The shot went awry, hitting his left shoulder instead.

In pain, he fell to the ground. Angrily, he picked up Su Ran’s gun and aimed it at Jiang Nanshu’s head, “Go atone for my Wanwan, you wench.”

“Bang.”

Jiang Nanshu was pulled into a warm embrace.

The bullet hit Lu Qingyan’s heart precisely.

Blood was so red, so thick, so foul.

Jiang Nanshu had never noticed before, but now she knew.

“I’m sorry… Nannan,” his voice faltered, “I, I have to break my promise. You have to live, keep living.”

With his last strength, he lunged at Bao Yan, rolling with him toward the cliff edge.

Jiang Nanshu took two steps forward, “Lu Qingyan!”

A sudden sharp pain in her stomach made her stop in her tracks, blood trickling down her leg, meandering on the ground.

Clutching her stomach, she fell to the ground. Through her blurry, tear-filled eyes, she could see Lu Qingyan rolling in blood, taking Bao Yan with him to their ends.

“No!”
