Chapter 1145: What bad intentions could Young Master Gu have?
The sudden change made Miss Xu unable to calm down. Seeing that the boatman who fell into the water had not come up, she came to the deck with a pale face, looked at the river surface and asked, "Is that man dead?"
Tang Zijin's brows knitted as he paddled vigorously, "Have you ever seen a boatman who can't swim?"
Hearing this, Miss Xu understood even if she was stupid.
The pleasure boat leaked and the boatman fell into the river.
They were tricked!
"How dare he?!"
They are the daughters of officials. If anything really happens to them, the boatman will not be able to escape responsibility.
Tang Zijin felt helpless. She had underestimated people's jealousy. Even though she had tried her best to stay away from others, she still fell into their trap.
At this moment, the pleasure boat suddenly shook violently.
Fortunately, Tang Zijin reacted quickly and held onto the edge of the pleasure boat, so he did not fall into the river, but the oar in his hand fell into the river.
"Someone is hitting the pleasure boat underwater!"
Tang Zijin instantly thought of the boatman from before. Just when she asked Miss Xu and the two maids to squat down, the second wave of turbulence hit again.
“Ah~”
Miss Xu lost her balance and fell directly into the river.
"Sister Xu!"
Tang Zijin's expression suddenly changed...
Miss Xu couldn't swim, so she struggled desperately in the water.
When Tang Zijin saw this, he hesitated for a moment, then jumped into the river and swam quickly towards Miss Xu.
Yes, Tang Zijin can swim.
At this moment, her heart was filled with gratitude towards Gu Moyan. If the young master had not always forced her to learn to swim when she was a child, she would probably have to watch Sister Xu drown.
This time, Sister Xu was probably implicated by her, and she must not be allowed to get into trouble, otherwise, the Tang family and the Xu family would become enemies.
"Girl~"
The two maids who were still in the pleasure boat were so frightened that they didn't know what to do. They wanted to go down to save people, but they couldn't swim and could only shout for help.
But the boatman had planned this in advance. At this moment, the pleasure boat was docked at a bend in the river, and there were no other pleasure boats around.
It was also Tang Zijin's first time to rescue someone in the water. He had no experience and didn't know how strong a desire to survive a person would be when they were on the verge of death. As soon as he grabbed Miss Xu, he was entangled by her tightly. Even though he was not far away from the pleasure boat, he couldn't swim over.
Tang Zijin was exhausted and was struggling to hold onto Miss Xu. Just when she was about to despair, a cruise ship came over.
Then, in her vision which was somewhat blurred due to the water, a figure jumped down and swam towards her at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As the figure got closer, Tang Zijin recognized that it was Gu Moyan. His eyes suddenly lit up with a startling light: "Young Master!"
As soon as Gu Moyan approached, he extended his hand towards Tang Zijin.
Tang Zijin quickly said, "Save Sister Xu first. I can swim and I can hold on."
Gu Moyan was furious when he saw her pale face, but he still took over the unconscious Miss Xu.
However, he did not dare to leave Tang Zijin alone in the river. Who knows if there is any undercurrent in the river? He did not dare to take the risk. He put one arm around Miss Xu's neck and the other hand on Tang Zijin's arm, and swam towards the shore with difficulty.
Fortunately, Anping swam over quickly. Gu Moyan immediately gave Miss Xu to him, and he swam ashore quickly with Tang Zijin.
Only after Miss Xu and the two maids were rescued did Tang Zijin completely relax. Then, he instinctively complained to Gu Moyan, "Young Master, someone is trying to harm us."
Gu Moyan guessed it without Tang Zijin saying anything.
Looking at the half-sunken pleasure boat in the river, a sharp light flashed in Gu Moyan's eyes. Seeing that Tang Zijin was soaked all over, he quickly took off his outer robe and put it on Tang Zijin.
As soon as the cruise ship arrived, Gu Moyan picked up Tang Zijin and stepped on it.
"Ahem~"
On the cruise ship, Gu Moyan draped a thick blanket on Tang Zijin in a not-so-gentle manner.
Looking at Gu Moyan's sour face, Tang Zijin didn't dare to say anything. He obediently wrapped himself in the blanket and didn't provoke him.
Gu Moyan's face was still filled with anger. Seeing Tang Zijin's cowardly look, he was furious: "Didn't you have the courage to go into the river to save someone just now? Who are you showing off this pitiful look to now?"
Tang Zijin hesitated for a moment, but still felt the need to defend herself: "I can swim, I can't just watch Sister Xu drown, right?"
Gu Moyan: "You won't call for help?"
Tang Zijin: "But there was no one around at the time, and it was too late." He said with an angry look on his face.
"Young Master, the pleasure boat was tampered with. Not only that, but after it started leaking, the boatman desperately rammed it, causing Sister Xu to fall into the river. You must catch that man. He's trying to kill Sister Xu and me."
Looking at the pitiful Tang Zijin, who showed no aggressiveness even when angry, Gu Moyan sighed and reached out to push the wet hair stuck to her face behind her ears: "Don't be afraid, I will avenge you."
He is so brave, he actually dares to hurt the little fat face. Doesn’t he know that he is the only one who can bully the little fat face?
"Not only the boatman, but also the people behind him, will not be able to escape."
Tang Zijin turned her head away somewhat embarrassedly, then used her hands to tidy up her wet hair.
At this moment, An Ping walked in and said, "Young Master, there are several pleasure boats approaching this way, and they are all filled with ladies from various families."
Gu Moyan immediately sneered.
The person who plotted against Little Fatty probably didn't really want her to die, he just wanted to embarrass her in public.
If a lady from a noble family falls into the water in public and is rescued by a man from outside the family, her reputation will be ruined. How can she marry into the Duke's mansion?
What a vicious mind!
Tang Zijin also guessed this, and her face became even paler. In addition, she was a little cold after soaking in water, and her nose was red, which made her look even more pitiful.
Seeing her being bullied so badly, Gu Moyan was both angry and distressed. She turned to look at Anping and asked, "Has the pleasure boat been cleaned up?"
An Ping nodded: "It's taken care of."
Gu Moyan looked at Tang Zijin and said, "Some people are here to laugh at you. Since they love watching people fall into the water so much, why not let them experience it for themselves?"
As he said this, he was about to give instructions to Anping.
At this moment, Tang Zijin suddenly reached out and grabbed him: "Young Master, don't do this."
Gu Moyan frowned: "The person who harmed you must be among them. Are you sure you don't want revenge?"
Tang Zijin said, "I do, but today all the ladies have been invited by the Princess and the Crown Princess to watch the dragon boat race. If all the ladies fall into the water at the same time, it will have a bad impact if word gets out. Otherwise, forget it. I'm fine anyway."
Gu Moyan paused, then glanced at Tang Zijin with a look of disappointment: "With your temper, it would be strange if you weren't bullied."
Tang Zijin was silent for a moment, then muttered softly, "As long as you don't bully me, I'll just stay away from the others."
Seeing her little mouth moving, Gu Moyan asked, "What are you mumbling about?"
Tang Zijin hurriedly shook his head: "I didn't say anything."
Gu Moyan snorted, "You only dare to compete with me. What would you dare to do against others? You are lucky to have met me, otherwise how would you live your life?"
Tang Zijin: “.”
What the young master said is unreasonable. Even without him, she still has her parents and relatives to protect her.
Gu Moyan looked at Anping and said, "Falling into the water won't have a good impact, but it will still be a lesson they'll remember."
"Arrange a few people who are good at swimming to go down to the river, wait for the pleasure boat to approach, and then bump into it, so that they can also feel the fear that Little Fatty just experienced."
