The water in the cup was boiling water that the maid had just poured in. When Su Xincheng picked it up in a fit of anger, she didn't feel that it was too hot. But when she got closer and splashed it hard on the face that resembled her own, she realized that the water was very hot and could burn Su Ning's face to the point of being ruined!

"Mother!"

Qiao Yimo, who was closest to her, had a chance to grab her and called out anxiously, but did not step forward to stop her.

Qiao Yimo wished Su Ning's face would be ruined, so that she wouldn't shamelessly seduce those men.

Just as she was eagerly anticipating the boiling water hitting Su Ning's face, a sound flashed by, and with a "whoosh," a full cup of boiling water was splashed onto the man's back. His white shirt revealed his flushed skin, causing those around him to hiss in shock.

Immediately afterwards, the open door was kicked open, and Chu Feng and Mu An'an walked quickly to Su Ning's side one after the other.

As soon as they arrived and heard the sounds inside, Chu Feng immediately had Mu An'an crack the door code. The door had just opened when they saw Su Xincheng holding a cup of boiling water, about to splash Ningning. They didn't have time to react. Then they saw Gu Jingchen rushing out of the corridor at top speed, and their hearts, which had been in their throats, slowly calmed down.

They knew better than anyone how Su Xincheng had treated Su Ning for Qiao Zhentian's sake.

"Ningning, are you alright?"

Mu An'an crouched down and frantically checked Su Ning from head to toe. Su Ning, who had been staring at Gu Jingchen, snapped out of her reverie, smiled at them, and shook her head slightly, "It's nothing!"

Gu Jingchen arrived just in time; not a drop of hot water got on her, but it was him…

"Brother Chen!"

When Qiao Yimo saw Gu Jingchen suddenly appear, she was first shocked. Then, remembering that the water was very hot, she went over to check on his injuries. Before she got there, she saw his gloomy face as he turned around. She hurriedly backed away, and tears fell down her cheeks.

"Brother Chen, it has nothing to do with me."

Qiao Yimo's first reaction was to absolve herself of any responsibility, "Mom, how could you splash Chen-gege!"

Su Xincheng felt very uncomfortable hearing these words, and Qiao Zhentian, who was next to her, also stood up and reprimanded "Qiao Yimo" in a deep voice.

Qiao Yimo shut her mouth, and as she looked down, she glared hatefully at Su Xincheng.

Su Xincheng is really incompetent; she actually hurt Brother Chen.

Brother Chen, why did you go over to shield Su Ning? Even if you wanted to help Su Ning, you could have just pushed Su Xincheng away.

"Jingchen." Su Xincheng didn't have time to pay attention to Qiao Yimo; she was in a hurry to apologize to Gu Jingchen.

"I'm sorry, Auntie didn't see you coming."

Unbeknownst to him, the arrogant young master of the Gu family had transformed into Mr. Gu, whose mere stomp of his foot could make Nancheng tremble. This Mr. Gu was cold, ruthless, and unfathomable.

"You mean—!" Whether from the pain or something else, Gu Jingchen's face was cold, and his voice was icy and chilling, making one's heart tremble and panic, "Splashing Su Ning will be fine!"

"Mrs. Qiao."

His voice was icy cold, a mixture of anger and malice that made everyone in the room hold their breath, especially Su Xincheng, whose face paled as she felt fear in front of Gu Jingchen, who was about twenty years younger than her.

"I said no, she, Su Ning, is Madam Gu!"

The name "Madam Gu" felt like a huge stone being forcefully thrown into their hearts by Gu Jingchen, causing them to panic inexplicably.

This is not the first time Gu Jingchen has acknowledged Su Ning's identity in front of outsiders!
