Chapter 1060: Damsel in Distress
“Wait!” Liang Xinyi got anxious when Yun Xi turned impatient.
Liang Xinyi was definitely not going to give up if she didn’t achieve what she wanted.
“Since you aren’t being sincere at all, we don’t need to talk anymore. The bangle wasn’t worth a lot of money anyway, so you can keep it if you like it.”
As Yun Xi finished her sentence, Liang Xinyi suddenly looked behind her in surprise and said softly, “Commander…”
When Yun Xi heard what she had said, she immediately knew that Liang Xinyi was trying to get her to turn around. She knew for sure that Mu Feichi wouldn’t be there.
However, Yun Xi still turned around just as Liang Xinyi had wished. If she hadn’t turned around, Liang Xinyi was not going to reveal her true intentions.
When Yun Xi turned around, Liang Xinyi suddenly rushed toward her, intending to push her into the pool.
But Yun Xi squatted down quickly. She acted as if she had a leg cramp and fell toward the side of the swimming pool.
Liang Xinyi had intended to push Yun Xi in the pool with all her strength, but when Yun Xi suddenly stepped aside, there was nothing in front of her but the s.h.i.+mmering pool.
Yun Xi had moved so quickly that Liang Xinyi couldn’t stop herself in time and fell into the pool.
Yun Xi sat by the pool and turned to look at Liang Xinyi, struggling in the water. There was an icy coldness in her eyes.
Yun Xi had turned as Liang Xinyi had wished because she wanted to see Liang Xinyi do herself in. And most important, Liang Xinyi doesn’t know how to swim either.
“Save…save me…” Liang Xinyi panicked when she fell into the water. She started kicking her legs as she struggled to stay afloat.
There were many layers of fabric on her gown and they became really heavy when they got wet. The more Liang Xinyi struggled, the more she felt a force dragging her down.
“Yun Xi, save…save me. I don’t want to die…”
Yun Xi rubbed her ankle that she had almost sprained. She then looked at Liang Xinyi struggling in the water and shrugged. “I’m sorry, I don’t know how to swim either.”
Just as she’d finished her sentence, someone suddenly shouted from the second level, “Someone has fallen into the water!”
Yun Xi turned to look at the balcony on the second floor. Qiao Ximin had appeared at the exact right time, which also spared Yun Xi the trouble of calling for help.
The guests in the banquet hall on the second floor were alarmed, and many rushed down through the door that led to the first floor.
As Yun Xi decided to continue watching the incident from the side of the pool, someone suddenly rushed over from the walkway. However, the person had already jumped into the swimming pool before she could see who it was. The person quickly held up Liang Xinyi, who had been almost drowning, and dragged her out of the pool.
Under the dim lights, Yun Xi finally saw who the man was. However, she was pretty surprised that it turned out to be Han Zhongteng, because she hadn’t seen him the whole night. And now suddenly he had appeared at the exact right moment…?
The moment suitable for a hero to save a damsel in distress…
Most of the guests were already there watching when Liang Xinyi was dragged out of the pool. Liang Danyi ran over to help when she saw that her sister had fallen into the water.
Liang Xinyi coughed, and she looked really fl.u.s.tered as she clutched her gown. The pool water had made her eyes teary and red. She also felt like her throat was burning after she had choked on so much pool water.
Besides being in such a sorry plight, Liang Xinyi had not succeeded in her plot, and she had even almost lost her life. She felt a wave of burning anger, which instantly turned into an intense rage.
Her eyes were so red and teary from coughing that she didn’t even need to pretend to cry.
“Sister, are you all right? How did you end up in the pool?”
Liang Danyi glanced at Han Zhongteng, who was also soaking wet. She had seen this man before, and he always had her sister’s back. She knew that he liked her sister and had been helping them.
Luckily, he had been around today. If not, it could have been terrible.
