It all happened in an instant.
Before anyone could react to what was happening, Su Xiangxin and Jiang Zhixing, who had fallen into the water, looked unwell. The rest of the matter was left to He Liyu to handle.
Pei Wenqing followed He Liyu, while He Xiao accompanied her to the restroom to help the two change clothes.
Half an hour later, Su Xiangxin, whose body had warmed up, gradually came to her senses while holding a warm cup of water, and apologized with red eyes.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
Shen Linyue held her hand reassuringly, "I should apologize, okay? I'm the one who asked you to come out and have fun, so I'll take responsibility for anything that happens to you."
Su Xiangxin was amused by her serious tone, but felt a bitter taste in her mouth.
She knew these were Ah Yue's words to comfort herself; she was the one with the legs, and whatever happened to her was none of anyone else's business.
Moreover, this was her problem in the first place; she shouldn't have stood on that rock out of curiosity...
“Someone pushed me from behind, otherwise I wouldn’t have fallen.” Su Xiangxin remembered something and looked at Shen Linyue seriously, afraid that she wouldn’t believe her.
Shen Linyue frowned, her face turning cold and somber. She reassured him, "Don't worry, He Liyu will definitely give you justice."
She softened her tone and said, "Take a break first, Uncle Hat might ask you to give a statement."
Su Xiangxin sniffed and nodded, suddenly thinking of Jiang Zhixing, who had jumped into the lake to save her in the dead of winter despite the cold.
The bad impression I had of him before vanished instantly.
"Thank you, Jiang, you're a good person." Her eyes welled up with tears again as she spoke.
After falling into the lake, she was completely panicked and lost the ability to think. All she wanted to do was ask for help. But the moment she grabbed Jiang Zhixing's hand and was lifted up by him, she felt an overwhelming sense of security, and her heart started pounding uncontrollably.
Even now, thinking about that scene makes her heart pound uncontrollably.
Jiang Zhixing's face regained its color, but he still looked unwell, as if someone owed him eight million.
Hearing Su Xiao's sincere words of thanks, he was taken aback, pursed his lips and nodded lightly, but in reality, he had a very strange feeling in his heart.
This was the first time he had ever saved someone... Although he was forced to, the feeling of being thanked was novel and something he had never experienced before.
He glanced at Su Xiao's still pale face, but the words he was about to say remained unspoken. He simply nodded and hummed in agreement, without saying anything more.
Su Xiangxin was already aware of his coldness and was already thinking about how to repay him.
Shen Linyue had almost forgotten that it was Jiang Zhixing who saved Su Xiangxin. Her gaze swept over Jiang Zhixing opposite her, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.
Is all of this just a coincidence?
...
Su Xiangxin's matter was handled quickly.
There happened to be a surveillance camera at the spot where she fell into the water, and it even captured the scene of the older woman pushing her very clearly.
The older woman left after Su Xiangxin fell into the water. Uncle in the hat told Su Xiangxin that it would take some time to find the older woman, and since she was old, the only punishment would be a verbal reprimand, or at most two days of detention before being released. If Su Xiangxin was not satisfied, he suggested that she file a lawsuit.
After listening, Su Xiangxin was silent for a moment, then raised her face and said, "You also said that she is old, so it would be enough to detain her for two days to teach her a lesson."
Besides, even if she wanted to sue, her family would think she was making trouble for no reason, and she hadn't even gotten into any trouble yet.
Su Xiangxin takes this in stride.
Little did she know that Jiang Zhixing looked up at her after she finished speaking, though there wasn't much emotion in his eyes.
...
After the matter was resolved, no one had any desire to continue climbing the mountain.
When they were at the foot of the mountain, Jiang Zhixing parted ways with them. He Liyu first sent Su Xiao back to the Su family home before driving back to the He family home.
While waiting at a traffic light, He Liyu glanced at He Xiao through the rearview mirror and asked, "Why did you push Xiao Jiang to save Xiao Su?"
Hearing this, Shen Linyue, who was pretending to be asleep, opened her eyes and looked at He Xiao.
Good heavens, I never expected that it was her eldest son who brought the man and woman together.
Realizing something, Shen Linyue's gaze towards He Xiao changed.
He Xiao didn't notice the change in his mother's eyes. When he met his mother's questioning gaze, he replied casually.
"Who told Jiang Zhixing to go first?" What difference does it make who went down? He just let Jiang Zhixing go to save him.
His answer was quite willful, and He Liyu's eyes revealed a look of disapproval.
“Don’t do this again. If anything happens to Jiang Zhixing, you will be guilty of premeditated murder.”
He Xiao wanted to retort, but when he met Old He's serious gaze, he reluctantly hummed in agreement, "But I did save Su Xiao, so this isn't my fault."
Shen Linyue was amused by his thought process. "But Su Xiao has no idea that you saved her on a whim."
Su Xiaoxian only knew that Jiang Zhixing had saved her without hesitation.
Shen Linyue sighed, resigned to her fate. She didn't care about the main couple's romance; she just needed to make sure He Xiao didn't do anything reckless. :)
He Xiao glanced at her and shrugged: "I don't care."
Shen Linyue was speechless for a long time before finally saying, "I think your father is right. Don't do anything unnecessary next time."
Pei Wenqing also gave him a thumbs up: "As expected of you, Brother Xiao."
He Xiao: "...Get out of here."
...
The next day, He Liyu went on another business trip, leaving the three little ones alone at home.
This time, he wasn't on a business trip for work, but rather it was about the Chen family.
After Chen Jiayao fell into a coma, Chen Ming realized something and completely let down his guard against the people that Assistant Ji had sent to protect them, becoming very dejected.
He also said that there was a strange document that he would only feel at ease if he personally handed it to He Liyu.
Although it was strange, He Liyu still planned to go there in person, regardless of whether the document Chen Ming mentioned was what he needed.
However, when the bodyguard was taking Chen Ming to the hotel where He Liyu was staying, an unexpected car accident occurred.
The car collided with the truck. Fortunately, the bodyguards sent by Assistant Ji were very alert and protected Chen Ming in time, causing him only minor injuries.
Upon receiving this news, He Liyu's face turned grim, and he thought to himself, "Just as I thought."
This confirms that the people behind the scenes couldn't sit still any longer and wanted to get rid of the Chen family father and son completely.
Without his instructions, Assistant Ji had already arranged for someone to take Chen Ming to the hospital and assigned more people to protect him.
He Liyu arrived at the hospital an hour later, and Assistant Ji, with great professionalism, recounted the entire incident.
"How is Chen Ming doing?" He Liyu asked.
“He suffered minor injuries, but his mental state is not good.” Assistant Ji paused for a moment and said, “I also checked with the truck driver. He said that he rammed into them while trying to avoid a car. As for the car he mentioned, it is still under investigation.”
He Liyu frowned and then relaxed, and suddenly laughed as he thought about what had happened in the past two days.
Just as Assistant Ji was wondering what was going on, he heard his boss say, "Go and find out what Jiang Jinyu has been doing lately."
Assistant Ji: "?" Huh? Why did the boss suddenly ask me to investigate this person?
