âNo, Mom, thatâs not what I meant. I justâ¦â
Without waiting for her to explain, Gu Yunjin threw the bracelet in his hand into the pool and said, âQiao Ruoxi, if you jump down now and get the thing for me, I will acknowledge you as the daughter-in-law of the Feng family.â
Qiao Ruoxi finally understood Gu Yunjinâs intentions. It seemed that her new mother-in-law was trying to establish dominance and take her down a notch.
However, looking at the water, Qiao Ruoxi felt a little troubled.
It was winter now and the temperature outside was extremely low. The water temperature was also extremely chilly.
Letting her go into the water to get something would be harmful to the fetus.
She could not take the risk.
âGet into the water. What are you waiting for?â
Gu Yunjin scolded. Seeing that Qiao Ruoxi was not moving, she signaled to the servant beside her.
The servant pushed Qiao Ruoxi from behind and she fell into the pool.
âAhâ¦â
After Qiao Ruoxi fell into the water, she felt a bone-piercing chill enveloping her body. It was too cold.
She struggled in the pool until her limbs were cramping.
She instinctively wanted to climb onto the shore, but the servant who pushed her into the water shoved her hand away and pushed her into the water again. He said, âHurry up and get the bracelet. If you canât, donât even think about coming up.â
âHelp⦠helpâ¦â
Qiao Ruoxiâs mouth was trembling from the cold. The heavy clothes on her body had become a burden. She wanted to struggle upwards, but she felt more and more exhausted.
Surrounded by the cold water, she felt helpless and desperate.
Just as Qiao Ruoxi was about to collapse, there was a loud thud behind her. Then a pair of strong hands lifted her up from behind and carried her to shore.
When she saw that the person who had saved her was Feng Yunan, she felt a lump in her throat and tears began to fall uncontrollably.
Luckily, he came.
If it was any later, she would be really afraid that the fetus would be harmed.
Feng Yunan carried Qiao Ruoxi to the shore, but the girl was unconscious.
Both of them were drenched. The water in the pool was icy cold, but it was no match for the coldness of his heart.
He did not know if that woman would torture Qiao Ruoxi and her unborn child to death if he hadnât come over to look for them in time.
âWhy are you so vicious? Do you know that doing this will kill someone?â
He glared at Gu Yunjin with an icy cold and murderous gaze as if he was looking at a mortal enemy.
Seeing the look in her sonâs eyes, Gu Yunjin was completely flustered. She only wanted to teach Qiao Ruoxi a lesson, not take her life.
All of this was to please her son and take revenge for the grievance she suffered in the past.
She thought that Feng Yunan hated Qiao Ruoxi. Otherwise, why would he abandon her at the wedding?
She thought that Feng Yunan was in love with Wen Keâer and that she was helping him clear the obstacles.
âYunan, Iâm doing this for you too. Donât you fancy Keâer? Iâm only teaching her a lesson to make her back off. I want to help you and Keâer get together!â
âShut up! I donât have a crazy mother like you.â
Feng Yunan shouted coldly. He turned to look at the servant who had deliberately pushed Qiao Ruoxi into the water and ordered, âYou, get into the water!â
They all knew that when Feng Yunan was angry, he would not even care about his own mother, let alone a servant.
The servant was scared out of hissed wits. He jumped into the water with a splash and immediately curled up into a ball because of the cold.
âDonât even think about coming up without my order!â
Feng Yunan warned and left with Qiao Ruoxi in his arms.
