Chapter 243 Rescue
Ling Yao walked to the window and looked out through it. From this position, one can clearly appreciate the beautiful scenery outside. At this moment, the cruise ship has already set sail, slowly breaking through the waves in the distance.
Lu Qingyun walked behind Ling Yao, put his arms around her waist, and gently tapped his chin on her shoulder. His tone was gentle and full of magnetism, "Do you want to go out for a walk?"
"Okay." Ling Yao smiled charmingly and nodded.
The two came to the deck, and the sunlight in the sky was particularly brilliant at this time, like a dazzling pearl hanging high in the sky.
The golden sunlight reflected on the sparkling sea, as if covering the entire sea with a layer of golden gauze, forming a dreamlike, beautiful picture.
The sea breeze blew slowly, bringing the unique freshness and moisture of the sea, blowing Ling Yao's hair and skirt, making her look more graceful and beautiful.
Lu Qingyun reached out and held Ling Yao's hand, standing side by side with her on the deck, enjoying this rare tranquility and beauty.
"Daddy! What's wrong with you? Come and help me!" At this time, an anxious shout came from behind, breaking the tranquility.
Ling Yao looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a blonde woman shouting anxiously not far away, and an old man lying on the ground beside her was twitching in pain.
Without thinking much, Ling Yao ran towards the two people.
Lu Qingyun immediately stepped up to catch up.
Ling Yao came to the old man, squatted down, and quickly glanced at his body. He knew his condition, took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket, opened the bottle, poured out a pill and fed it into the old man's mouth.
"What did you give my dad to eat?" Seeing this, the blonde woman looked at Ling Yao with dissatisfaction. How could she give her dad random medicine?
Ling Yao ignored her and carefully observed the old man's condition. Seeing that his complexion had improved, she stood up.
The old man slowly stopped twitching, and his breathing gradually became steady.
"Daddy, how are you?" The blond-haired, blue-eyed woman saw that the old man's condition had stabilized, and hurriedly asked with concern.
The old man slowly opened his eyes, looked at Ling Yao, and smiled at her gratefully, "Thank you for saving me..."
Ling Yao smiled and shook her head, "You just had a stroke, but fortunately it was discovered in time and did not cause too much impact."
"Thank you!" The old man thanked again.
The blond-haired, blue-eyed woman looked at Ling Yao a little embarrassedly, "Thank you for saving my daddy, I'm sorry for my bad attitude just now!"
Ling Yao smiled indifferently and prepared to leave with Lu Qingyun.
"Wait a minute!" The blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman called Ling Yao, "My name is Alice, can I know your name?" The other person was her father's savior. Even if the other person didn't want their thanks, she had to remember this favor. She would repay him when she had the chance in the future.
"Ji Yun." Ling Yao said her current name.
"Miss Ji! This is my business card. If you encounter something you can't solve in the future, you can always call me." Alice took out her business card and handed it to Ling Yao.
Ling Yao reached out to take the business card, and when she saw the name on it, she slightly curled the corners of her lips. Unexpectedly, the other person turned out to be Anthony Alice, a well-known American luxury brand. In the near future, the Anthony family's luxury goods will be popular all over the world and become the dream of countless women. But she has never been interested in these.
Putting away the business card, Ling Yao and Lu Qingyun turned and left.
The old man retracted his gaze and turned to look at Alice, "Alice, give Miss Ji my treasured Heart of the Sea later." Although the other party did not need their return, he had to give back.
"Okay, Daddy!" Alice nodded, and slowly walked towards their room with the old man.
Ling Yao was reading a book. When she heard the knock on the door, she walked forward and opened the door. Seeing that it was Alice, she smiled slightly, "Miss Alice, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Alice took out a jewelry box and handed it to Ling Yao, "Miss Ji! This is a thank-you gift from my dad. Please accept it."
"Okay!" Ling Yao reached out and took the jewelry box. Since the other party wanted to repay her for saving her life with something, she would be hypocritical if she didn't accept it, and it would make the other party think that she had some intentions towards them.
"Then I won't bother you." Alice originally thought that Ling Yao would refuse, but she actually accepted it so readily, which surprised her.
Anthony Jayce saw Alice coming back in a depressed mood, and asked curiously: "How was it? Did she accept the gift?"
Alice nodded and said depressedly: "She accepted it. I originally thought that she would refuse it, but she didn't even take a look at what was in the jewelry box, and she accepted it without hesitation." This made her good impression on Ji Yun disappear instantly.
Anthony Jayce couldn't help laughing when he heard this. "It seems that the other party doesn't want to have anything to do with us. He is really a sophisticated and transparent person."
Alice suddenly understood, "So that's the case. I thought she was the kind of person who said one thing and meant another. It seems that I misunderstood her." Indeed, if they could establish a good relationship with the Anthony family, they would gain more than just a Heart of the Ocean.
Although the Heart of the Ocean is worth a lot, it is just one of many collections for the Anthony family.
"Daddy, is this matter over?" She still admired Ji Yun very much in her heart and really wanted to be friends with her.
"Since this is what she wants, let's leave it at that." Anthony Jayce nodded in reply.
"Okay." Alice replied helplessly.
Time passed unknowingly, and three days had passed in the blink of an eye. The cruise ship had now sailed to the center of the sea, and all around was the boundless ocean.
At first, people would be attracted by the beautiful sunrise, watching the sun slowly rise from the distant sea level, dyeing the entire sea surface golden. They would also be intoxicated by the charming sunset, watching the sunset gradually sink to the west, and the horizon was rendered with colorful sunset glow.
However, as time went by, these beautiful views had become commonplace, and the original novelty gradually disappeared, replaced by endless monotony and boredom.
The cruise ship was moving slowly on the sea. No one noticed that in the dark, a sailboat was approaching slowly. In the vast sea, the sailboat looked so strange.
Alice was walking on the deck after dinner. She walked to the railing and leaned lazily on it to admire the scenery in the distance. The next moment, she caught a glimpse of the approaching black shadow not far away. Her face suddenly changed and she ran quickly into the cabin. "Oh no, pirates are coming!"
