Chapter 180: He truly loves her.
Hu Jun may have wanted to persuade her, and although he seemed somewhat unwilling, he said these words in front of Lily.
Qiao Xing didn't know if he thought Lily wouldn't jump, or if he was just saying it without thinking.
Lily suddenly laughed, "Hu Jun, how close do you think you are to me?"
"Do you think everyone is like you? Even if you turned into a dog, you could kneel on the ground, wagging your tail and begging for mercy from passersby, just to survive?"
Hu Jun's expression changed. "What did you say?! You're not letting people talk about what you did? I get it, so this is another one of your deceptive tricks, right?"
"Just to gain sympathy and then everyone will forget about it, Lily, stop it, stop doing such despicable things!"
Lily didn't argue with him. She glanced at Qiao Xing again before turning away.
Qiao Xing thought she was coming down, but to his surprise, Lily suddenly opened her arms and fell backward.
"Hu Jun, open your eyes and look carefully."
"Lily!"
Qiao Xing was furious and practically crawled over, desperately trying to grab Lily, but she only managed to grab air.
She lay on the rooftop, watching helplessly as Lily fell, her heart sinking with her.
Lily, dressed in a white wedding gown, leaped from the fifteenth floor, drawing a white arc across the sky like a shooting star as she fell to the ground.
Qiao Xing's legs felt weak; if she hadn't been holding onto the rooftop, she would have sat down.
It felt like a sharp stone was stuck in her chest; she was having difficulty breathing, gasping for air, and every breath she exhaled was painfully pulling at her chest.
The moment Lily jumped down, Hu Jun collapsed to the ground, his face deathly pale.
At the same time, Wang Ye rushed up, shouting Lily's name, but looking around, he couldn't see Lily on the roof.
There was only one row of people lying on the edge of the rooftop looking down.
A gust of wind blew in, carrying with it the gasps and screams of a group of people downstairs.
Wang Ye gripped the door frame, his legs gave way, and he sat down on the ground with a thud. He stared blankly at the distant sky, his eyes unfocused.
Zhou Lan has difficulty walking. She had just entered the mall when she heard a scream behind her. The old woman turned around instinctively and saw a white shadow fall in front of her.
Zhou Lan stood frozen in place, her cloudy eyes wide open, tears quickly welling up in her eyes.
He Fen had just run to the mall entrance when she saw this scene, and she screamed, covering her mouth.
A rescue air cushion had been placed downstairs, and the ambulance arrived in time. Lily was lifted into the ambulance, and the siren blared as it gradually disappeared into the distance from the crowd.
Qiao Xing slid down the rooftop and sat on the ground. She looked at Hu Jun in front of her, her vision somewhat blurry.
Are you satisfied now?
Hu Jun trembled slightly, his lips quivering as he looked blankly at Qiao Xing, "I, I... I didn't expect her to actually be able to jump."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Hu Jun was punched in the face, leaving him dazed.
"You bastard! What kind of brother are you? Why don't you just die?! Why don't you just die?!"
Wang Ye grabbed Hu Jun by the collar and pounded his fists into Hu Jun's face again and again, yelling, "Go to hell! Go to hell! People like you are the least deserving of living!"
Wang Ye was so enraged that he lost his mind and used almost all his strength to smash into Hu Jun.
Hu Jun clutched his head and fell to the ground screaming in agony.
The people around also realized what was happening and immediately ran over to pull Wang Ye away.
Wang Ye was being held back by several people, but he was still baring his teeth and brandishing his claws. His eyes were bloodshot, and he almost broke free from the crowd several times and charged at Hu Jun.
After being helped up, Hu Jun scrambled downstairs.
Wang Ye watched helplessly as he ran away, and in anger, he shouted at the stairwell, his roar echoing through the sky.
Qiao Xing looked at Wang Ye's ferocious appearance and wiped away her tears.
She didn't know how Wang Ye was feeling at that moment. He hadn't even exchanged a single word with Lily, and the person he loved so deeply had just disappeared from his life.
He deserves to break down.
Regardless of Lily's past, Wang Ye truly loves her.
Wang Ye was probably exhausted in the end. He slumped to the ground, a man in his thirties, crying like a child who couldn't find his home.
People around him tried to comfort him, but the more they tried, the harder he cried.
Qiao Xing sat on the ground for a while to recover some strength before finally getting up and walking towards Wang Ye.
She knelt down in front of Wang Ye and grabbed his hand, "Cousin..."
Wang Ye looked at her with tears in his eyes, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
"Let's go to the hospital. Maybe Lily can still be saved."
A glimmer of hope finally ignited in Wang Ye's eyes, and he choked out, "Really?"
Qiao Xing nodded. "Let's go take a look."
As she spoke, she grabbed Wang Ye's arm and pulled him up.
The two went down the stairs together. Qiao Xing's legs were still shaking, while Wang Ye's were shaking even more violently. He almost fell down the stairs several times.
Kind people around him helped support him to prevent him from falling, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief once he entered the elevator.
If another one jumps, they'll live in nightmares for the rest of their lives.
After coming down, almost everyone in the mall had been cleared out, and the lobby was empty except for He Fen standing there.
Seeing Wang Ye come down, He Fen awkwardly walked up to him.
But Wang Ye didn't look at her, pretending she didn't exist, treating her like a stranger, and just walked past He Fen.
"son……"
He Fen called out as she watched his retreating figure, her face showing a mixture of guilt and heartache.
Her heart aches because of Wang Ye's attitude towards her.
She was wholeheartedly thinking about her son, but unexpectedly, because of this, Wang Ye stopped even looking at her.
She didn't even understand what she had done wrong.
Qin Ce stood outside, watching the two approach. His expression was complicated, but he said nothing.
"Qin Ce, you're down there..." Qiao Xing started to say, but then stopped, unsure how to ask.
When Lily jumped down, before she even landed, she couldn't bear to watch any longer, afraid of seeing something gruesome.
So she didn't know the specifics of Lily's condition.
Qin Ce had already driven the car over. He opened the car door and said, "I don't know, let's go to the hospital to get checked out."
Qiao Xing helped Wang Ye into the car before sitting in the passenger seat. Because her hands were shaking, she couldn't fasten her seatbelt several times.
Qin Ce stared at her, and seeing that her seatbelt had slipped three times, he took the seatbelt from her and fastened it for her.
Qiao Xing looked up at Qin Ce, who then handed her a bottle of water.
Her face looked terrible; even her lips were pale and bloodless. This was happening right before her eyes, and to someone she knew well.
The impact must be significant.
Qin Ce started the car and took the two of them to the hospital.
