"The Chen family's daughter-in-law!"
"Oh no! Something's wrong! Chen Ji's wife's foot is tangled in the water plants! Someone come quick!"
The women standing on the shore were anxious, but the wooden sticks they held were too short, and none of them could swim.
Someone spotted Yao Guoqiang's son-in-law standing to the side and rushed forward, asking, "Yao Guoqiang's son-in-law, aren't you a swimmer? Quick, save Chen Ji's wife!"
Yao Guoqiang's son-in-law, who was slumped on the ground, waved his hands repeatedly, his voice trembling as he said, "I...I really can't go on, I have no strength left, I can't be saved, I can't be saved, please call for help."
He was almost exhausted to death after rescuing Yao Yulan. The woman was dead heavy, and when she grabbed him, it was like a lifeline; she wouldn't let go even if it meant death.
If that's the case, then so be it; he went down there to save people in the first place.
But Yao Yulan struggled desperately! He was almost pulled down.
If it weren't for the fact that she was his wife's younger sister, Yao's son-in-law would have wanted to kick her into the water.
He already disliked his wife's younger sister, and now he dislikes her even more!
Xu Ruantang gradually disappeared into the water. Her body was unable to move, but her mind remained clear.
Before sinking, Xu Ruantang saw what appeared to be a figure in the distance.
The person seemed to be holding a child in their arms. Was it Xiaobao?
Is the inevitable ending coming so soon?
That's true, she was originally just a cannon fodder female supporting character, and this ending seems to fit the book's setting quite well.
But why do I feel so sad? It's like... I'm not reconciled.
Why should someone who's set up as cannon fodder necessarily have that kind of ending?
She clearly tried very hard, wanted to live, wanted to be kind to others, and wanted to make the most of every day.
Everything was like a chain reaction.
Because she married Chen Ji, she had to get to know Yao Yulan, and then she had to be harassed by Yao Yulan.
If she doesn't fight back, won't she become like the original owner of this body? In the end, a tragic ending awaits her.
But she fought back, the bad guys were punished, so how did it also implicate the good guys?
Is a tragic end still awaiting her?
Xu Ruantang's consciousness began to blur, and her eyes slowly closed. She saw someone jump into the water, heading straight for her.
The man was handsome, but his eyes were full of anxiety.
When she got closer, Xu Ruantang could even see his thick eyelashes and his deep, bright eyes.
The man's arms were strong and powerful. With a forceful pull from his large hand around her waist, the two of them swam upwards.
Before she completely lost consciousness, Xu Ruantang thought that she must have met a kind-hearted god.
Wow, gods are so beautiful!
If I were to die, it wouldn't be so bad to have worked with someone like that.
"They're up! They're up!"
A cheer erupted from the shore as everyone watched Chen Ji carry Xu Ruantang ashore and quickly made way for him.
"Scatter, all of you!" Chen Ji's voice was cold and carried an undeniable air of authority.
Xu Ruantang had already lost consciousness. Chen Ji quickly put her on the ground and reached out to unbutton the first button on her shirt.
"Xu Ruantang".
"Xu Ruantang".
"Xu Ruantang!"
Chen Ji called her name three times, but Xu Ruantang didn't respond at all.
Chen Ji's eyes darkened, and he crossed his hands, placing the base of his palms on Xu Ruantang's chest, and began to press down hard.
The surrounding onlookers were all women, who gasped in shock at what they saw.
But since the other party was Chen Ji, they didn't dare to say anything and had no idea what he was doing.
Time passed by, and the women around them grew anxious and suspicious; some even began to feel afraid.
"Why hasn't Chen Ji's wife woken up yet? Could she have drowned?"
"This...this person still won't wake up!"
"Chen Ji, why don't we take him to the hospital?"
What are you doing?!
Chen Ji stared intently at Xu Ruantang, then pinched her nose after pressing down, bent down, and was about to kiss her lips.
The surrounding women were in an uproar, and some even blushed.
this...
Although she is Chen Ji's wife, even at this time, Chen Ji is still thinking about that kind of thing!
Xu Ruantang was woken up by being pinched. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a handsome face with sharp features approaching her.
"Mommy!"
Xu Ruantang shouted and sat up.
If Chen Ji hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been knocked flying!
"Awake? Is anything bothering you?"
After Chen Ji turned to the side, he didn't forget to support Xu Ruantang's waist, afraid that she would faint again if she stood up too suddenly.
Xu Ruantang took a deep breath, waved to Chen Ji, and then turned her head to search the crowd again.
Before she could speak, Chen Ji's cold voice came through: "Aunt Wang is fine, she's already been sent home."
After Chen Ji finished speaking, he bent down, put his hands under Xu Ruantang's legs, and picked her up in a princess carry.
Afraid of falling, Xu Ruantang hurriedly said, "I'm fine, put me down, I can walk by myself. Cough cough!"
"Hold on tight." Chen Ji seemed not to hear her words, only giving her a deep, stern instruction.
Is he... angry?
Xu Ruantang was just relieved that she hadn't died, but now she was scared.
When Chen Ji is angry, he doesn't say a word, and his face is cold and scary!
A loud "whoosh" sound attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone looked toward the source of the sound and saw that it was Yao Yulan's older sister, who was dumping a bundle on the ground.
What came out stunned everyone!
There was money and tickets, and even silver bracelets and earrings, gold necklaces, and so on—basically all valuable items, a whole bunch of them, all wet and sticky.
Confused, everyone heard Yao Yulan's eldest sister coldly point at the things on the ground and ask, "Yao Yulan, did you steal things from home?"
