After Lu Yu Nan returned from his plastic surgery, Jun Jiu Li began to give him the cold shoulder. This drove the already neurotic Lu Yu Nan to the brink of madness.
"If that's how you feel, then there's nothing I can do." With that, Jun Jiu Li slammed the door shut again, ignoring Lu Yu Nan.
Lu Yu Nan raged outside the door, "Ahhh! Why is she treating me like this? Why?!"
As he spoke, he smashed everything he could find in the hallway. Steward Li watched with a heavy heart and tried to persuade him from behind.
"Young Master, with your excellent qualities, you can find anyone you wish. Madam is not worth your deep affection. Why not let go? Both of you can find happiness."
"No, I will never let go. Even if she dies, she will only be my wife, Lu Yu Nan. She will be buried with me. Never! Never!"
Lu Yu Nan was furious. He was also annoyed with Steward Li for saying unpleasant things. He pushed Steward Li aside and intended to go downstairs.
Unexpectedly, Steward Li lost his footing and fell from the second-floor escalator all the way to the first floor. Lu Yu Nan looked at his hands, knelt on the ground in agony, and shook his head repeatedly.
He muttered to himself, "Impossible, impossible. How could this happen?"
Several servants rushed in and screamed in terror at the sight of Steward Li's bloodied head.
Jun Jiu Li kindly called for an ambulance. Steward Li was quickly taken away by the paramedics. Although his body was broken, he did not die and woke up the next day.
Facing the guilt-ridden Lu Yu Nan, he said it was alright. He was old and wouldn't live much longer anyway, and now he just couldn't move. This moved Lu Yu Nan to tears.
Lu Yu Nan had been very busy recently and had forgotten about Qiao Yuan Yuan in the basement. When he finally remembered her, she had already starved to death there.
Lu Yu Nan didn't want the trouble of digging a grave, so he simply burned her body. The ashes were thrown into the trash.
To be brutally murdered by the one she loved, the original host should be satisfied with Qiao Yuan Yuan's ending.
Lu Yu Nan left for work one day and never returned.
Jun Jiu Li kidnapped him and then calmly reported him missing to the police.
The police began their investigation and found that Lu Yu Nan had entered the underground parking garage and gotten into his car, after which he had miraculously disappeared. They could only console Jun Jiu Li, assuring her they would do their best.
After Lu Yu Nan's disappearance, Jun Jiu Li naturally stepped in to take over his company.
After stabilizing the turmoil caused by the CEO's disappearance, Jun Jiu Li hired a proxy to manage the company.
Lu Yu Nan woke up again to find himself in his own basement. His mouth was gagged, rendering him silent. He was filled with confusion. What was going on?
"You're awake." Jun Jiu Li menacingly sharpened her knife, her smile sinister as she looked at him.
Lu Yu Nan trembled all over, utterly terrified. Was this woman insane? Jun Jiu Li came over and pulled the gag from his mouth.
"Ahhh! You've gone mad! You lunatic, let me go, let me go! What you're doing is illegal. Don't ruin your life for me. It's not worth it, not worth it!"
"Oh my, CEO Lu actually understands the law? I thought yandere types were all ignorant of the law. Where should I cut first?"
"Don't come near me! Is anyone there? Save me! Ahhhh!"
"I've fired all the servants in the house. Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will save you, hahahaha." With that, she traced lines on Lu Yu Nan's face with the knife.
Shui Wa: "My host has become increasingly crazy and dramatic. There's no saving her, she's terminally awkward! (⊙w⊙)"
Jun Jiu Li, holding a small notebook, said, "Bear with it. If you scream too loudly, I might get shaky.
Today, we're going to perform Ling Chi, one of the Ten Cruelties of the Qing Dynasty. Whether you survive depends on luck. After all, I'm new to this, so I'll start with your arm.
Jun Jiu Li fed him a Peiyuan Pill first to keep him alive, then diligently began to slice off pieces of flesh.
"The quality of the flesh on your arm is too poor; I'm slicing unevenly. Don't move; it'll hurt less this way. Once I've sliced out a small bowl, I'll stop.
Lu Yu Nan wanted to resist but had no strength. He cooperated by gritting his teeth and staying still, hoping Jun Jiu Li would finish quickly. After she sliced out a bowl, she happily took it and left.
Lu Yu Nan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Jun Jiu Li turned back with a smile, revealing her stark white teeth. "We'll continue tomorrow, husband~"
Lu Yu Nan shuddered, utterly terrified. This woman was a demon. He had to escape before tomorrow night.
When Jun Jiu Li returned to the villa, she handed the meat to a puppet. She had it made into Sliced Pork in Hot Sauce, and also stewed a small pot of chicken soup, which she sent to the hospital.
"Uncle Li, I've come to see you."
Steward Li put down the book he was reading. "It's Madam. Do you have any news about Young Master?"
"No."
"Alas, what a sin! He goes to work and goes missing."
"I don't know what sin he committed. Uncle Li, please eat first. Take care of your health, or your body will fail before Lu Yu Nan returns."
"Madam is right. Is the company alright? Since Young Master is gone, Madam should keep an eye on things."
"Don't worry, I've hired the most professional people in the industry to manage it. What could go wrong?"
"That's good, that's good." He said, opening the food container and starting to eat.
Jun Jiu Li asked him as he ate heartily, "Uncle Li, how does it taste?"
"It's delicious. Madam, did you change the chef?"
"No, it's still the same chef. I bought expensive meat from the market. I heard it's good for patients."
"Thank you for your concern, Madam."
Seeing Steward Li finish all the meat she brought, Jun Jiu Li returned to the villa, content.
Lu Yu Nan had built the basement himself, so he knew there was no escape from it. Unless someone opened the switch from the outside.
This place had imprisoned the original host and Qiao Yuan Yuan. How could Jun Jiu Li not let Lu Yu Nan taste that despair? Thus, she kept him in darkness and hopelessness for three days straight.
When she opened the basement door again, he was lying on the ground, too weak to stand, let alone escape. Jun Jiu Li subjected him to the "Rong Mama needle technique."
Finally, she dislocated one of his shoulder blades and sent it to Steward Li to be made into soup. Lu Yu Nan lingered on like this for a month. After he died, Jun Jiu Li burned him to ashes, leaving no trace behind.
"Uncle Li, how are you feeling recently?"
"After drinking the soup Madam sent, I feel much better."
"Hahahaha, of course, it's effective. That meat and bones are your beloved Young Master! You were so worried about him that you ate him, thus curing your illness."
Steward Li was stunned. When he realized what had happened, he broke down in tears. "You... you're not human! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"
Before he could reach Jun Jiu Li, he fell off the hospital bed.
"Goodbye, Uncle Li."
Jun Jiu Li said, grabbed her bag, and turned to leave, leaving Steward Li alone in the room, retching. He lost all hope.
His eyes lost their light, as if he had lost the will to live. Using his hands to support himself on the ground, he slowly crawled towards the windowsill. He fell out of the window and died instantly.
Jun Jiu Li told everyone she was going to look for her husband, but she was actually traveling. Qin Hao had been pursuing Xia Xi Yue persistently, and on Xia Xi Yue's graduation day, he successfully won her over.
By the time Xia Xi Yue was twenty-eight, she had achieved career success. She was a well-known, undefeated lawyer, and in that year, she married Qin Hao. Their remaining years were filled with happiness and contentment.
Jun Jiu Li returned to attend their wedding, and then traveled around doing charity work. Lu Yu Nan's fortune was all donated by her to a charity foundation. After Jun Jiu Li died, the company was also donated to the state.
Jun Jiu Li: "Shui Wa, it's time for us to go."
Shui Wa: "Okay, Host. ( ° ¯᷄◠¯᷅ ° )"
