Chapter 576: Xuanji Is Dead

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Xuanji was not in the car. There was only a memorial tablet in the car.

The memorial tablet, which was made of rosewood, lay still in the backseat. There was a name inscribed on it – Lin Xuanji.

Lin Xuanji.

This name made Lu Jinwen’s eyes sting. He closed the car door, hunched his tall body, and then gradually stretched another hand out and reached into the car.

His coarse finger stroked the name gently. It felt like he was caressing the woman’s delicate skin.

After that, he took out the memorial tablet.

Jun Mosheng looked at Lu Jinwen and curved his lips. “Young Master Lu, Xuanji is not with me. I only have Xuanji’s memorial tablet in Orchid Park.”

Lu Jinwen gradually raised his handsome, bloodshot eyes and looked at Jun Mosheng. There was a sinister, sneering smile on his thin, cold lips. He gave a low laugh. “Ha, Jun Mosheng, do you think that I will believe you? What are you playing at? You are coaxing me as if I were a three-year-old child.”

He raised his large hand and forcefully threw the memorial tablet onto the ground.

Bam!

The memorial tablet broke apart and the sound made everyone present tremble in fear.

“Lu Jinwen, have you become sober? Look at yourself, you have been deceiving yourself and others all these years. When Xuanji jumped into the sea, you only managed to clutch a piece of her red silk. You witnessed her death, but you are still unwilling to believe the truth.

“You have been pretending for so many years, and you still have the audacity to look for Xuanji. Ha ha ha, you are really ludicrous. Xuanji knew that the young master of the prestigious Lu family would be able to find her wherever she went. What she wanted was to have the freedom to go anywhere she wanted. The brightest stars in the sky are her beautiful eyes. She’s looking at how you are struggling painfully in this lifetime. She’s looking at you... succumbing to your own inner demons. This is the best punishment that Xuanji has given you.”

After Jun Mosheng had uttered these words, Lu Jinwen’s handsome, chiseled face became vicious and the veins on his body were throbbing. He was filled with red-hot fury.

He raised his hand and his fist struck Jun Mosheng’s face. “Lin Xuanji did not die. She would not die. You are lying to me, damn it!”

Jun Mosheng retreated a few steps from the impact of the punch. There was a streak of blood at the corner of his mouth. He stepped forward and punched Lu Jinwen’s face.

“Lu Jinwen, wake up. Xuanji is already dead. She has been dead for many years. Ha ha ha.” Jun Mosheng pulled Lu Jinwen’s shirt collar and pointed at Lin Xuanyin. “Look at that woman, your Mrs Lu. How long can she survive without Xuanji’s heart? When did my Xuanji become so virtuous and giving in your eyes? Why would she leave her heart for your Mrs Lu?”

Jun Mosheng laughed uproariously and maniacally, so much that there were tears in his eyes. “Xuanji was unable to fight you. How could she have won over you? The only way to win over you was to be vicious to herself, and that was to consume the Gelsemium elegans when the operation stopped halfway. She used her life to freeze time. She made Lin Xuanyin slip into a deep sleep. She let all the love and hate precipitate.

“Lu Jinwen, congratulations on meeting a worthy opponent in this lifetime. You fell in love with a woman who was just as strong as you. She loved you and made you unable to forget her. She hated you and made your heart ache. Your life continues on, but time cannot be turned back. You will never meet such a wonderful woman like her again. She had given you the best kind of love, and the strongest kind of pain, which will cause you pain for the rest of your life.”

Lu Jinwen was hit with a punch and he staggered a few steps before falling to the ground.

This respectable man had never been in such an pathetic state before. He fell onto the ground and was unable to get back up.

He looked at the sky above and there was a constellation of stars, which reminded him of the woman’s enchanting eyes.

He closed his eyes and groaned in a hoarse voice. “Lin Xuanji, Lin Xuanji...”

He recollected that the last time he saw her was on the last day of her life, which was also on the day of the heart extraction operation.

That day, she had worn her favorite red dress as usual. The vibrant red swept across the floor resplendently. Her hair was tousled by the wind, revealing her ravishing face.
