The two of them left together, and Ji Shuyu felt as if her heart had suddenly become colder than the water in the swimming pool...

"Beautiful lady, come out! The water is so cold!"

"That's right, that's right. Do you want your brother to rescue you?"

Whistles could be heard from the poolside from time to time, and Ji Shuyu could only cover herself with the dress that was thrown into the water.

Looking at the crowd on the shore taking pictures of her with their mobile phones, she bit her lips until they bled.

At this moment, she felt like she was trapped in a cage, unable to resist or escape. She could only try her best to sink her body into the freezing water...

thump……

Just when she was feeling humiliated, helpless, and unable to resist, an anxious cry sounded in her ears, followed by a figure jumping into the water.

Hearing the familiar voice, Ji Shuyu's eyes instantly turned red.

Through tears, she saw a figure approaching, and then a coat was wrapped around her.

The coat was wet, but it was enough to "warm" her and block out the humiliating sights.

"Don't be afraid." Gu Xiuyuan held her in his arms.

Feeling her body trembling, Gu Xiuyuan felt a sharp pain in his heart. He looked coldly at the crowd watching and filming by the swimming pool.

This glance instantly silenced everyone, and they all hid back, wishing they had never appeared here.

"I'm sorry, I'm late." He apologized softly, then picked up the trembling Ji Shuyu.

The water in the swimming pool was very cold. He felt cold after being in it for a while. He didn't dare to imagine how long this cold-fearing little girl had been soaking in it.

The noise here quickly alarmed the host of the banquet.

"Boss Gu, what's going on?"

The people of Gao's family were a little scared. After all, he treated the Zhao family so ruthlessly. You know, the Zhao family and the Gu family have an old grudge.

"Send someone to get a blanket!"

Gu Xiuyuan carried Ji Shuyu to the edge of the swimming pool, and the people who had been watching the fun came forward to show their courtesy.

"Get out——" These cold words were filled with infinite anger.

Suddenly no one dared to come forward, and he swept his eyes over the crowd.

That glance was so oppressive. Someone took the lead and threw the phone into the water, and then there was the sound of the phone falling into the water. The two people who had spoken rudely before were the most afraid. Their guilty conscience was so obvious that they attracted special attention.

Gu Xiuyuan glanced at everyone coldly, and finally his gaze fell on Xia Zhenzhen.

At this time, Xia Zhenzhen was already dazed and barely had the strength to stand.

The service staff brought clean blankets and towels.

Gu Xiuyuan didn't care about himself. He took the blanket to wrap Ji Shuyu and wiped her hair.

"Are you cold? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" he asked nervously.

After being at a loss, Ji Shuyu calmed down. She pushed his hand away and stepped back to avoid him.

She didn't want his false concern, and at the same time she was glad that she was soaked so that no one could see her useless tears.

Socializing?

Have a good talk with her?

Oh, are you entertaining two women at the same time?

"Xiuyuan, Xiaoyu..."

Su Yan seemed to have just learned about what was happening here. She ran over in a hurry, then covered her mouth in shock, "Oh my God, what happened!"

Ji Shuyu looked at Su Yan's hypocritical face, then at Gu Xiuyuan, sneered, wrapped herself in a large blanket, and then threw away Gu Xiuyuan's coat.

From time to time, low murmurs could be heard from the crowd: "What's going on?"

"I don't know. Just shut up and avoid getting into trouble."

Ji Shuyu walked step by step to the other side of the swimming pool, picked up the bag that fell on the ground, and then stood up straight.

She was shaking all over, not only from the cold but also from humiliation and anger.

"You, what do you want?" Xia Zhenzhen had forgotten her arrogance. The pair of sinister eyes not far away stared at her, making her dare not breathe.

He just thought Ji Shuyu was quiet and thought it was okay to bully her, but he didn't expect to be caught by Gu Xiuyuan.

Didn’t Su Yan say that they would leave soon?

Ji Shuyu glanced at her, reached out to take off the badge on his chest, stroked it lovingly with his fingertips, and then carefully put it into his pocket.

Xia Zhenzhen didn't understand what she meant for a moment.

"What's your name, Xia?" Ji Shuyu raised her eyes.

This kind of question was undoubtedly a humiliation, but Xia Zhenzhen dared not speak out.

"I was a ninja before, and you represented the studio for me." She took a step forward.

Xia Zhenzhen stepped back instinctively.

"But if I take off this badge, I will have nothing to do with the studio..."

She smiled, and without even giving the other person time to react, she slapped him in the face.

Snap——

This time, Ji Shuyu used all her strength and slapped Xia Zhenzhen to the ground.

"Xiao Yu!"

Looking at Ji Shuyu's shaking body, Gu Xiuyuan took a few steps over, reached out to steady her, then took her hand and rubbed her palm.

Everyone who saw this scene took a deep breath, and Su Yan felt even more hatred in her heart.

Ji Shuyu hit someone, but he felt sorry for her palm?

Did he think the same thing when she was beaten last time?

"you……"

Xia Zhenzhen covered her cheeks with tears in her eyes, but she didn't dare to say anything. She then looked at Su Yan for help.

"Xiao Yu."

At this time, Su Yan was in a difficult situation.

Gu Xiuyuan ran away in front of her, so she had to follow him, but she couldn't ignore Xia Zhenzhen either.

"What happened?" she asked weakly.

Ji Shuyu looked at Su Yan coldly. She was sure that this incident had something to do with her.

Being stared at like this, Su Yan pretended to shrank back timidly, acting as if she was afraid of being bullied.

It's so disgustingly hypocritical, everyone is like that.

Gu Xiuyuan keenly noticed her emotion of putting everyone against herself, just like the defense she had after being bullied as a child, refusing everyone to get close to her.

He gripped her hand tighter as she tried to break free.

"You." Gu Xiuyuan glanced at Xia Zhenzhen calmly. "Go away."

A light and flirtatious remark, full of contempt.

Xia Zhenzhen didn't move.

No, she doesn't want to be laughed at by so many people.

"Either you go down on your own, or else... your family will be the next Zhao family."

Xia Zhenzhen was immediately frightened. How could her family's financial situation compare to the Zhao family's?

She looked at Su Yan again, hoping she could help her.

Ji Shuyu struggled several times but failed to break free. The wind blew and she shivered slightly.

Seeing this, Gu Xiuyuan picked up Ji Shuyu.

"Xiuyuan, can we just forget about it?" Su Yan spoke at the right time.

Gu Xiuyuan didn't stop and strode away with Ji Shuyu in his arms.

Xia Zhenzhen immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and Su Yan was also glad that she seized the opportunity, but she felt even more resentful in her heart. She was so anxious for him just because of that bitch.

"Let go!" Ji Shuyu resisted fiercely.

"Don't move." His voice was low and overbearing, as if he would not allow her to resist at all.

Ji Shuyu felt amused. Since Su Yan's words were so important, why bother with her?

As they strode out, several men in black came running towards them from outside the garden.

Looking at the wet Ji Shuyu, he suddenly wailed in his heart, how could something happen again.

How can this be replaced?

"Throw that woman down."

Xia Zhenzhen, who thought she had escaped danger just a moment ago, suddenly became nervous.

Su Yan, who thought she had seized the opportunity, saved face, and proved her status, was slapped in the face in the blink of an eye.

All the boasting from the previous moment has now become a joke.

Xia Zhenzhen screamed as she was thrown into the water, splashing water everywhere.

"What happened yesterday, if even a little information is leaked..." Gu Xiuyuan scanned the crowd with a cold gaze, as if he had memorized every face. "You guys consider this matter carefully."

Finally, his gaze settled on the two men who were speaking frivolously...
