Chapter 63
Gao Liyue suddenly broke free from her mother's arms and rushed forward like an angry lioness, screaming as she ran.
"Mu Qingxuan! It's all your fault! Without you, our family wouldn't have become like this!"
Seeing Gao Liyue approaching aggressively, Mu Qingxuan remained calm.
When she got closer, Mu Qingxuan suddenly took a step forward, whispered something in her ear.
Gao Liyue's footsteps came to an abrupt stop, the anger on her face froze instantly, replaced by shock and disbelief.
Her eyes widened and she stood there in a daze.
Mu Qingxuan whispered in her ear, "If you dare to do anything bad to me now, I promise that you and the Zhou family will never be able to turn things around."
Gao Liyue's pupils froze.
The next second, Mu Qingxuan said, "You might as well think about who is behind this, instigating you to harm me. That person is the real mastermind, using you as a scapegoat."
Gao Liyue's confused mind was struck by a bolt of lightning, and she suddenly understood.
She looked straight at Mu Qianqian on the other side, and a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes.
Gao Liyue suddenly turned around, stared at Mu Qianqian with her scarlet eyes, and rushed over like a mad beast.
Mu Qianqian's face suddenly changed and she screamed in horror: "What are you going to do?"
"Don't come over here!"
She stepped back in panic, her heels slipping on the cobblestones, and she stumbled to try to get out of the way.
But Gao Liyue was extremely fast and bumped into her shoulder.
The huge impact force caused Mu Qianqian to fall backwards out of control, waving her arms wildly and screaming miserably.
With a "plop", Mu Qianqian fell into the North Lake in a mess, splashing a large amount of water.
Her moon-white shirt was instantly soaked by the lake water and stuck tightly to her body.
Her wet hair stuck to her face, and her makeup was smudged, making her look like a pale ghost.
Mu Qianqian struggled desperately, kicking her legs wildly in the water.
The splashing water kept pouring into her mouth, choking her and causing her to cough violently. She could only cry out intermittently: "Help...Help!"
Gao Liyue also fell into the water due to inertia, and the two of them struggled in the cold lake water like two drowning rats.
Mu Qingxuan stood on the shore, looking down at him, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.
Then he called for help in a weak and panicked voice: "Someone fell into the lake! Help!"
Her cry broke the tranquility of the lake.
Pedestrians nearby and police officers who were handling Zhou family affairs all looked at them sideways.
Soon, several enthusiastic young people threw off their coats and jumped into the lake without hesitation.
They paddled hard to get closer to the two struggling people, grabbed Mu Qianqian and Gao Liyue's arms, and dragged the two people who had choked on a lot of water and were soaked to the shore.
After Mu Qianqian was pulled ashore, she collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath, trembling all over, looking in a miserable state.
The area was filled with people pointing and talking.
Mu Qingxuan stepped forward gratefully: "Thank you comrade, if you hadn't helped me in time, my sister would have been in great danger."
The gay man hadn't even caught his breath when he saw Mu Qingxuan, who looked like a fairy concubine, approaching with her back to the sun.
The bright smile on her lips melted in the bits of light, appearing particularly dazzling.
The man blushed and coughed softly: "When I see injustice, I should help. This is what I should do."
When Mu Qianqian was dragged ashore, her clothes were sticking to her skin. Her silk shirt had almost become a transparent gauze, and her slim and graceful figure was fully revealed under the wet cloth.
She choked on some water and coughed violently, her hair stuck to her pale face, looking miserable.
When she finally came to her senses, she found that she was surrounded by people.
Countless eyes were directed at her like searchlights, some were curious, some were scrutinizing, and even some had malicious eyes wandering over her.
"Tsk tsk, this dress is sticking to my body."
There was a harsh sound of discussion in the crowd.
Mu Qianqian's blood rushed to her head in an instant. She felt embarrassed and annoyed, and her nails dug deeply into her palms.
At this moment, she suddenly felt a warmth around her waist, and when she looked down, she found a rough hand on her waist.
The owner of the hand didn't seem to realize that something was wrong, and was gasping for breath as he tried to help her sit up.
"ah--!"
Mu Qianqian's scream pierced the sky.
She swung her arm violently and slapped the other person hard in the face.
"You damn rascal!"
"Believe it or not, I'm calling the police right now and you'll get shot!"
Her voice was sharp and almost hysterical, and her eyes were full of fear and anger.
Ke Xu staggered back half a step, stood there with his face covered, and five bright red fingerprints quickly appeared on his face.
His face flushed, and he stammered, "I, I wanted to save you..."
Mu Qingxuan stepped forward quickly, frowned, and looked at Mu Qianqian calmly: "Qianqian, it was this kind comrade who rescued you, why are you repaying kindness with hatred?"
She turned to look at Ke Xu and said gently, "Thank you, comrade. The situation was urgent just now. She might have been too frightened. It was not intentional."
As she spoke, she took off her coat and wanted to hand it to Mu Qianqian to cover herself.
Mu Qianqian knocked over the coat she handed over, her wet hair flying as she moved: "Mu Qingxuan, stop pretending! Who knows if you two are in the same group!"
Her eyes were full of resentment, as if Mu Qingxuan was the perpetrator.
Ke Xu finally came back to his senses, his eyes were red, and his voice was full of grievance: "I saw you sinking, and I jumped without thinking about anything..."
His words caused sighs among the people around him, and many people began to accuse Mu Qianqian of being ungrateful.
But Mu Qianqian turned a deaf ear and continued to look at the two of them with annoyance.
Mu Qingxuan sighed, shook her head helplessly, and said to Ke Xu: "Comrade, I'm so sorry, my sister is usually spoiled at home."
"Anyway, thank you very much today."
Ke Xu pursed his lips, with a hint of grievance in the corners of his eyes.
"It's okay." He kicked his feet, saluted in a very standard way, and then turned and left.
Mu Qingxuan narrowed her eyes and subconsciously observed Ke Xu's skeleton and walking posture.
She could almost conclude that Ke Xu was a military man.
“Ahem…”
Gao Liyue was rescued and fell to the ground, choking on water.
Zhou Hui had already rushed over, crying and shouting as she hugged Gao Liyue in her arms, fearing that something might happen to her.
When Mu Qianqian heard the noise, she was too busy to settle the score with Mu Qingxuan.
She strode over to Gao Liyue, reached out and pulled her out of Zhou Hui's arms.
He slapped him hard again.
Gao Liyue was stunned.
Mu Qianqian's eyes were filled with hatred, and she gnashed her teeth, "Didn't we agree that our target was Mu Qingxuan? How dare you betray me!"
Gao Liyue's mind was full of water and she couldn't react at all.
