CHAPTER 399: CHAPTER 399: TAKING SOMEONE DOWN WITH HER?

However, they are not ordinary people; if they were to haggle with ordinary people, it would make them seem petty.

Now, Xia Mian just hopes the other party will be sensible enough not to provoke them.

That way, they can turn a blind eye and pretend nothing happened.

Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan had a rather satisfying meal.

Song Juan and Xia Zhun also enjoyed their meal with deep affection.

But, someone in the corner of the restaurant was gnashing their teeth with jealousy.

Song Juan had found another man, and this man was both handsome and young!

Why?

How could a woman like Song Juan still attract such an excellent man’s attention?

Xia Yun, with her head lowered, was tidying up the mess left by the previous customers while glancing at Song Juan from the corner of her eye.

Jiang Wen had impulsively destroyed Lu Zechuan’s luxury car, and Lu Zechuan had him sent to prison. Xia Yun pleaded in vain and was instead abandoned by the Jiang Family.

Xia Yun drifted from place to place and ended up in this city, where, due to the compassion of the hotel manager, she found a menial job just to barely make ends meet.

From having no worries about food and drink to now needing others’ charity for even basic survival, the disparity was indeed huge, and Xia Yun took a long time to come to terms with it.

Originally, she had resigned herself to her fate.

But now, she unexpectedly saw Song Juan here again!

Song Juan, who had disappeared for so long that Xia Yun thought she was dead!

Meeting again, Song Juan looked radiant, as good fortune surrounded her, while Xia Yun’s hands were calloused, her mother died mysteriously, her daughter was in prison, and her husband had abandoned her...

Why was her life so miserable while Song Juan lived as if she were young again?

After cleaning up the mess on the table, Xia Yun quickly returned to the kitchen with her head down.

Her journey here was filled with hunger and cold, her face and hands were covered in chilblains, layer upon layer, making her appearance quite different from before. Moreover, she always kept her head down, so she was not afraid of being recognized by Song Juan.

Back in the kitchen, Xia Yun silently placed the dishes and cutlery in the sink, numbly starting to wash them like a robot.

Accidentally, a plate slipped and shattered onto the ground.

Coincidentally, the kitchen manager walked in at that moment.

Seeing this scene, he got angry, pointed at Xia Yun’s nose, and started scolding, "What are you doing? Clumsy! The boss hired you out of pity, don’t be ungrateful. Even if you can’t help the boss, at least don’t ruin his stuff!"

Xia Yun shrank back, not daring to say a word.

Yet one hand gripped the rag tightly, as if she wished to wring it into pieces.

Everything she suffered today was caused by Song Juan!

If Song Juan hadn’t insisted on divorcing Xia Jianguo, she could still be leeching off her brother, still have authority in the Jiang Family, and still have her cute daughter by her side!

Xia Yun’s humble appearance made her seem somewhat pitiable, and the kitchen manager cast an impatient glance at her, "Clean up here quickly! Quit dawdling; all you do is mess around all day!"

With that, the kitchen manager turned and left the kitchen.

Xia Yun, head lowered, silently cleaned up the broken pieces on the ground.

But inside she was dead silent.

At this point in life, there wasn’t much difference between living and dying.

If that was the case, why couldn’t she take someone with her?

A sinister light suddenly flashed in Xia Yun’s eyes. She couldn’t touch Xia Mian, but she could drag Song Juan down to hell with her!

If Song Juan died, Xia Mian would live in pain for the rest of her life, wouldn’t she?

Xia Yun suddenly started to laugh quietly.

A glint of determination flickered in her eyes as she quickly cleaned up the broken pieces on the ground, tidied up the dishes and cutlery in the sink, and then quietly slipped out of the kitchen.

In the restroom, she changed clothes, tidied herself up to look even more haggard and disheveled, before finally stepping out.

With her head hung low and one hand in her pocket, she quietly approached Song Juan.

Song Juan and Xia Zhun had nearly finished eating. Song Juan’s eyes were filled with Xia Zhun, staring at him intently, when out of nowhere, someone came up and swung a knife at her!

Xia Zhun, quick-witted, shielded Song Juan behind him and, the next moment, kicked the assailant flying.

After being kicked away, the assailant got back up like a mad dog and lunged at Song Juan again.

Xia Zhun’s brows furrowed.

For fear of causing a fatal outcome, he had held back earlier. After all, in this world causing death had legal consequences.

But now, the assailant clung to them like glue, and if he held back again, Song Juan would be in danger!

Xia Zhun no longer held back. With a flick of his fingers, an invisible wave of light surged forth, sending Xia Yun’s body flying.

As Xia Yun flew away, her body went rigid, clearly hit with a fatal blow.

At this moment, the restaurant was quite crowded, and Xia Yun crashed onto a table of dining customers.

Her face landed right in front of a woman enjoying her meal. Xia Yun, killed by Xia Zhun, died with her eyes open, lying on the customer’s table, staring unblinkingly at the woman before her, an incredibly eerie sight.

The woman instantly dropped her chopsticks, and screamed in terror, "Ah~~~~~"

The woman’s shrill scream immediately drew a lot of attention.

Only then did everyone realize, someone had died!

Xia Mian frowned and stood up, she hadn’t expected Xia Yun to cause them trouble in this manner!

"Someone’s dead!" the woman exclaimed, stumbling backward a couple of steps.

Song Juan also reacted, looking up at Xia Zhun with a pale face.

Xia Zhun narrowed his eyes, "This woman has a deep hatred towards you."

Song Juan glanced at the lifeless Xia Yun lying on the table. Despite her changed appearance, Song Juan immediately recognized Xia Yun.

"It’s her..." Song Juan’s face turned even paler.

The Xia Family’s scum simply couldn’t stand seeing her happy!

She had just found her happiness, and this scum came to ruin it!

Death was too good for her!

However, Xia Yun’s death had now implicated Xia Zhun, which made the situation quite troublesome.

Immediately, the restaurant descended into chaos, with screams echoing from the crowd.

Xia Mian didn’t want things to escalate further, so she secretly used magic to set up a barrier in the restaurant.

People inside couldn’t get out, and outsiders couldn’t get in.

Until a suitable solution was found, she couldn’t let this incident reach other people’s ears.

"Xia Zhun, you’ve killed someone..." Song Juan’s lips trembled slightly.

This is the real world, not the Mystical World, and killing requires paying with one’s life!

Song Juan hated Xia Yun to death!

This damned woman, even in death, wanted to take someone down with her?
