Chapter 82 Jiang Zhiyao Falls from Building

The counselor tried his best to save her, but he couldn't even grab Jiang Zhiyao's clothes and could only watch her fall.

Fortunately, the firefighters had already set up a rescue cushion below. When Jiang Zhiyao fell, she hit a tree, which reduced the impact, and she finally landed on the rescue air cushion.

When He Huaisheng heard that Jiang Zhiyao was going to jump off the building, he rushed out of the dormitory, disregarding the fact that he had already lost too much face today. Unfortunately, he was too late and could only watch as Jiang Zhiyao was sent to the ambulance.

In any case, Jiang Zhiyao's life was saved, and the counselor breathed a sigh of relief.

"An, thank you for today. I'm going to the hospital to get checked out now."

An Shixia nodded: "You're welcome, counselor."

He Huaisheng also gave Jiang Zhiyao a deep look before turning around and following the counselor to the hospital.

Just as she was about to leave, An Zhiyu suddenly called, and An Shixia answered the call.

"Xiaxia, come back quickly! Mom is very angry and is rushing to your school. Please come back and talk to her!"

An Zhiyu's voice carried a hint of urgency. Xiao Yin always kept her word and knew that An Shixia had been wronged at school, so she wanted to personally seek justice.

Before An Shixia could reply, An Shaoyuan's voice came from inside: "Wife, don't get agitated. Don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter properly!"

"You'll handle it? You kept this from me after it happened! If you hadn't insisted on cutting ties with Xiaxia a few years ago, would she have been able to hide her identity?!"

Xiao Yin's voice trembled as she thought of all the suffering An Shixia had endured at school.

An Shaoyuan had a headache. He was angry that An Shixia insisted on pursuing that poor boy. He disagreed with her, but had no choice but to say that if she insisted on pursuing him, they would break off their relationship.

He regretted saying it as soon as he said it, but An Shixia seemed to take it seriously and never told anyone that he was from the An family throughout college.

"Brother, try to persuade Mom first. I'll go back now."

An Shixia finally had a chance to speak.

An Zhiyu said with a hint of helplessness, "But Mom won't listen at all. How about I turn the volume up to the maximum and you try to persuade her?"

An Zhiyu really couldn't think of a solution. If Yun Ranshu were here, he could try to persuade her, but Yun Ranshu had gone to the next city to be a judge and wouldn't be back for a while.

Only he and An Shaoyuan remained, one afraid of his wife and the other afraid of his mother.

"Okay, turn it up a bit."

Yan Lingyu had already put her in the car and was heading home.

After An Zhiyu finished preparing, An Shixia spoke up.

"Mom, don't get agitated. You won't see her even if you come to school now."

Xiao Yin, who was on the other end of the line, finally quieted down when she heard An Shixia's voice. She snatched An Zhiyu's phone and said, "Xiaxia, Mom is here. Tell Mom if you have any grievances."

To others, she is a painter who attracts worldwide attention, perhaps unapproachable, perhaps gentle and refined, or perhaps noble and elegant.

But at home, she is just a mother who loves her children.

"Mom, I'm almost home. I'll tell you the details later, okay?"

Xiao Yin calmed down, tossed the stick in her hand to An Shaoyuan, and said in a very gentle voice, "Okay, we'll talk about it when you come back."

Yan Lingyu dropped An Shixia off at her destination without getting out of the car. "I'm going to the company. Call me if anything comes up, okay?"

An Shixia nodded obediently: "I understand."

Yan Lingyu's gaze remained fixed on An Shixia, as if he wanted to imprint her image in his mind.

He finally decided to leave, but just a second before turning his gaze away, he suddenly spoke again: "My birthday is coming soon."

After saying this, he stared intently at An Shixia, as if wanting to hear what she had to say.

“I haven’t forgotten.” An Shixia, under his gaze, dared not meet his eyes directly. “Don’t worry, I’m preparing a gift, you’ll definitely like it.”

Yan Lingyu suddenly chuckled: "I'll like whatever you give me, but... I also have a gift for you that day, you can't refuse."

Yan Lingyu had been preparing for so long, and the moment was finally almost here. He just wanted time to pass faster and faster.

I wish tomorrow were his birthday, and I wish Xiaxia would become his tomorrow.

An Shixia mustered her courage and looked him in the eye: "Why can't I refuse?"

Yan Lingyu's gaze seemed to devour her, and she regretted her words as soon as they left her mouth.

"If you dare to refuse, I'll... well, you're not allowed."

Yan Lingyu couldn't bring himself to say anything threatening to her; after all, Xiaxia was his most beloved.

"Okay, I understand, I understand, I won't refuse."

Although An Shixia didn't know what he was going to give her, Yan Lingyu had never given her anything wrong.

Yan Lingyu then drove away satisfied, his eyes lingering on the rearview mirror until the person in the mirror disappeared before looking away.

"Mom, we posted on Weibo as soon as we saw the rumors online. We really didn't ignore Xiaxia."

An Zhiyu patted Xiao Yin's shoulders from behind, his tone somewhat ingratiating.

An Shaoyuan then used a fork to pick up a watermelon and fed it to her, his tone ingratiating: "Wife, I don't want to sleep in the study. Look at my age, what if I develop arthritis in my legs?"

"You look like you have arthritis! Who can get arthritis from sleeping in the middle of summer?"

"Okay, okay, I have rheumatism, don't be angry, don't be angry."

An Shixia saw this scene as soon as she entered the door. Xiao Yin immediately forgot about the father and son when she saw her: "Xiaxia!"

She ran to An Shixia's side, looked her up and down, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that An Shixia was not affected by the public opinion.

"Those comments online didn't affect you, did they?"

An Shixia smiled and shook her head: "I didn't even see it before the post disappeared. I have to thank Dad and my brother for revealing my identity."

When Xiao Yin heard her mention An Zhiyu and An Shaoyuan, she snorted: "If they had announced it earlier, this wouldn't have happened. By the way, I heard that the girl who bullied you was the one who copied your sheet music last time."

Thinking of this, Xiao Yin frowned, not expecting that young girls these days could be so extreme.

Moreover, she remembered that Xiaxia used to be her friend and was genuinely kind to her.

"She jumped off the building."

An Shixia spoke softly.

Xiao Yin was startled: "What? Jumped off a building? Is it because of this?"

Xiao Yin didn't like Jiang Zhiyao, but she only wanted to teach her a lesson; she didn't want to kill her.

“Ling Yu sent her a lawyer’s letter, which she couldn’t accept, so she threatened to jump off a building.”

Xiao Yin listened, stunned, and said dryly, "And then? Were they saved?"

She didn't want Xiaxia to be gossiped about behind her back because of this. Even if it wasn't An Shixia's fault, people's opinions would change if someone died.

An Shixia immediately saw her worry: "Don't worry, she won't die. Besides, I've already said that the lawyer's letter issue is over. She just slipped."

Hospital.

After confirming that Jiang Zhiyao was alright, the counselor left and reported the situation to the school.

He Huaisheng closed the ward door and looked at Jiang Zhiyao with a calm gaze: "Did you spread rumors online?"
