Su Qingyin gnashed her teeth. Beside her, Su Xinrui was bursting with rage when she saw what had happened."Cousin, I told you, didn't I? That woman is a fox! Look, Brother Fengchen jumped into the sea for her! Can she bear the responsibility if anything happens to him?""Shut up." Su Qingyin berated her. "Would this have happened if you hadn't tried to teach Jiang Sese a lesson on an impulse?"Su Xinrui lowered her head with an aggrieved look. She didn't say anything out of fear that Su Qingyin would scold her.They stared at the sea surface, praying that nothing would happen to Jin Fengchen and Jiang Sese.The commotion also woke up Master and Madam Jin in their room. The utter confusion outside made Madam Jin frown. She asked, "Fengyao, what's going on?""Miss Jiang fell into the water. Brother... jumped overboard to save her."Their expressions changed. Madam Jin yelled, "What did you say?"They stared beyond the railing. Their hearts felt stuck in their throats.Jin Fengy
Jin Fengchen walked out of his room and found his brother waiting for him.Jin Fengyao stepped forward and asked, "Brother, how is Sister-in-law?""She's fine." He looked at Jin Fengyao. "How did this happen?"He was, naturally, referring to how Jiang Sese fell into the sea.Jin Fengchen looked somber as Jin Fengyao told him everything."I was heading back to my room for the night when I heard Sister-in-law's voice on the deck on the second floor. When I walked over, I found her in an argument with a man. That man… seemed to be harassing her. Sister-in-law told him not to touch her, but the man went too far. Sister-in-law accidentally fell into the sea in order to resist him."Jin Fengchen's face turned even darker. So that was it. He knew it; Jiang Sese wouldn't have fallen into the sea for no good reason."Where is he?" he asked coldly.Jin Fengyao could detect the intense anger in his brother's simple three-word question. That man was truly unfortunate, but he only had himse
Su Qingyin was just as nervous as her cousin. If it was revealed that Su Xinrui was the perpetrator, Jin Fengchen might peg her as a black-hearted woman.To begin with, he didn't hold much affection for her. If he hated her as well, she would have no hope that he would ever fall for her."I understand, Cousin," Su Xinrui said softly.Suddenly, there was a knock on their door and the voice of a bodyguard drifted in. "Miss Su, are you inside?"Su Xinrui felt her heart leap to her throat. The two of them stood up and opened the door."Miss Xinrui, Young Master Jin wishes to see you. Please come with us.""Huh? Why is he looking for me?" Su Xinrui asked in confusion, acting as if she didn't know anything."We have no idea either. Please just come with us."Su Xinrui left with the bodyguards, with Su Qingyin tagging along.Inside the room, Li Mu was lying on the floor. His face was a mask of anguish. When he saw Su Xinrui, he yelled, "That's her! Young Master Jin, she's the one who
Surprise flickered in Jin Fengyao's eyes when he heard his brother's order to investigate the CCTV footage. "Brother, are you doubting Su Xinrui's words?"Seeing as his brother had left after dealing with Li Mu, he thought that he was going to let Su Xinrui off.Jin Fengchen scoffed. "It's obvious when someone is lying."How could he believe that Su Xinrui had nothing to do with this based on her one-sided conjecture? He wouldn't let anyone off who wanted to hurt Jiang Sese."I got it. I'll go right now." Jin Fengyao nodded at his brother and then took his leave.After he left, Jin Fengchen went back to Jiang Sese's room.Jiang Sese was freshly out of her bath. When she saw Jin Fengchen, she thanked him once more."You don't have to thank me. I'm the one who should apologize for letting something like this happen to you," Jin Fengchen replied.It was thanks to his negligence that the Lan Family was able to get on board and that Jiang Sese fell into the sea."How could it be yo
Xiaobao fell asleep soon after. But Jin Fengchen spent nearly the entire night wide awake. Fortunately, Jiang Sese's fever was gone by the next morning. Unable to keep his eyes open any longer, he also fell asleep.Jiang Sese woke up several hours later, and the sight that greeted her stupefied her.In front of her was a handsome face that nearly made her brain short circuit. She rubbed her eyes, briefly believing that she was still dreaming."What's, what's going on? Why is Jin Fengchen here?"Jiang Sese slipped out of Jin Fengchen's embrace with the gentlest of movements. He was in such deep sleep that he continued to sleep, not showing any reaction. On the contrary, it was Xiaobao who woke up. He cried happily, "You're awake, Auntie Sese! How are you feeling? Do you feel discomfort anywhere?"With flushed cheeks, Jiang Sese nodded. Even so, she couldn't feel much strength in her limbs and her mind was still hazy."What happened to me?""You had a fever last night. No matter h
Madam Jin walked over to Su Qingyin and Su Xinrui when the two were talking.She took note of the sorrow in Su Qingyin's eyes and patted her hand to comfort her.Her gaze, similarly, carried deep meaning as she stared at Jin Fengchen leaving with Jiang Sese.When the car disappeared completely out of view, she hesitated for a moment before putting on a smile and saying, "Let's go, Qingyin. We're going the same way, so I'll drop you off."Su Qingyin returned her smile and accepted the offer."Thank you, Auntie."Su Qingyin lowered her gaze. She was feeling a little better now. "So what if Jin Fengchen likes Jiang Sese? As long as Master and Madam Jin disagree, if they stand on my side, I will have a big chance of success."With such a thought in mind, Su Qingyin left with Madam Jin and the rest....After dropping off Jiang Sese below her apartment, Jin Fengchen said, "Skip work and get some rest today. Call me if anything happens.""Mhm, I understand. Thank you for sending me
Jiang Sese left after getting the address and telling her colleagues about it.It was a restaurant just close to her company. When she arrived there and found Madam Jin, she sat down opposite her.Madam Jin was more polite than she expected. With a small smile and a rather apologetic expression, she said, "Miss Jiang, I'm truly sorry for asking you out on such short notice."She sized up the lady in front of her as she spoke. She had to admit that Jiang Sese was not only beautiful and elegant, but she had an excellent temperament as well. She was comfortable to look at, but unfortunately… The requirement to be Jin Fengchen's partner was more than just good looks.Jiang Sese didn't mind it. "Auntie, do you have any business with me?"Madam Jin looked conflicted but ultimately chose to get straight to the point."I'll be frank then, Miss Jiang. I'm here because of Fengchen and Xiaobao. I hope you can stay away from them."Jiang Sese's eyes flickered with emotion. She knew what Mad
For the rest of the day, Jiang Sese didn't get any calls or texts from Xiaobao or Jin Fengchen. When she got home, she stared at her empty house and felt dejection filling her.She smiled wryly and comforted herself by thinking that she had always lived by herself and it didn't make any difference for her to continue her life alone.After washing up, she went straight to bed.The day passed just like that....The next day, Jiang Sese threw herself into work.She was currently working on a project with the Lu Group. The company had requested the Jinse Group to come up with a proposal to advertise its new product.She scheduled a meeting with the manager of the Lu Group to get more details.At noon, she went to the restaurant where they promised to meet.She walked up to the entrance and decided that she would call the manager to ask his whereabouts. She dug through her bag for her phone as she walked, and in a moment of distraction, she accidentally bumped into someone."I'm
