Nothing can be seen clearly in the cold lake water.

Sheng Yixue tightly pinched Xu Jiayun's neck and wrapped her legs around Xu Jiayun's legs. Maybe it was because she was afraid, or maybe she was really determined to kill Xu Jiayun. In short, Sheng Yixue's strength was astonishing!

Xu Jiayun has been used to the wild life in Xujia Village since she was a child. She can swim and climb trees. She is very good at swimming and she subconsciously holds her breath the moment she falls into the water.

However, Sheng Yixue was too strong, so she couldn't break free immediately. She was even dragged down by her and continued to sink to the bottom of the lake...

"Mom, Mom, save me..."

It was as if I could hear the cry for help from my previous life before death.

Xu Jiayun felt a sharp pain in his heart.

In this life again, no one will dare to hurt her Nian Nian again!

Grief transformed into the power of rage, Xu Jiayun lowered his head and slammed back violently—

The back of his head hit Sheng Yixue's nose hard. The instantaneous severe pain made Sheng Yixue subconsciously open her mouth, and water poured into her lungs. She was choked and stunned!

Xu Jiayun broke free from her restraints, turned around and kicked Sheng Yixue hard, then swam hard towards the lake.

Wow!

Xu Jiayun emerged from the water, gasping for breath.

Chi Yu swam over from not far away, supported her almost exhausted body and swam towards the shore.

"Zhou Jing, lend a hand!"

Zhou Jing was just about to bend down when someone was faster than him.

The man squatted down with his tall body and extended his big hand in front of Xu Jiayun.

Xu Jiayun was stunned, blinked, and when she raised her eyes, tears rolled down her wet eyelashes.

In the darkness of the night, the man's face was not clear.

Xu Jiayun didn't hesitate and handed his hand, which had become cold from soaking in the water, to him.

Is this an illusion?

Why do his hands feel colder than hers?

In a trance, her body lightened, she escaped from the cold lake water, and fell steadily into the man's strong and loose arms.

Xu Jiayun blinked.

Zhou Jing handed over the bath towel.

Pei Sangyu took the bath towel, wrapped her wet and cold body tightly, and held her horizontally.

Xu Jiayun turned her head and glanced at the lake. Her voice was very soft, with a slight tremor, "Miss Sheng hasn't..."

"Shut up."

Pei Sangyu carried her to the front yard, but his steps were not as steady as before.

Xu Jiayun stopped talking and rested her chin on his shoulder.

I could smell the expected smell of blood.

She curled her lips coldly where no one could see.

Turning her head, her eyes fell on the people busying around by the lake.

Sheng Yixiu had been pulled ashore by bodyguards, but she choked on some lake water and was unconscious when she came up.

Chi Yu knelt on the ground and performed CPR on Sheng Yixue. He frowned and shouted, "What are you guys still standing there for? Give her artificial respiration!"

The two bodyguards were a little embarrassed, looking at each other.

Zhou Jing's eyes flashed with shrewdness. He coughed heavily and said seriously, "This is the most favored little daughter of the Sheng family. If something happens to her right under your noses and you can't save her, you won't have a good life!"

Hearing this, the two bodyguards were so frightened that they fell to their knees.

A few minutes later, the arrogant little daughter of the Sheng family finally managed to save her life, but when she woke up and heard that it was the bodyguard who gave her artificial respiration, she became so angry that she collapsed and screamed, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted again.

The ambulance arrived just in time, and after the medical staff confirmed that Sheng Yixue was no longer in danger of life, they took her to the hospital in the ambulance.

Inside the black Maybach, the heater was on high. Xu Jiayun, wrapped in a bath towel, watched through the window as the ambulance disappeared into the night.

The car door opened, and Zhou Jing and Chi Yu bent down and got in.

"Mr. Pei, Miss Sheng is fine." Zhou Jing reported, looking at Pei Sangyu in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

Pei Sangyu responded indifferently without saying much.

Xu Jiayun glanced at his back secretly.

The black suit is not very noticeable.

But the carriage had been filled with the smell of blood since just now.

Xu Jiayun's gaze fell on his cold and hard profile, with a worried look on his face, "What's wrong with you?"

"Shut up." Pei Sangyu frowned hard, and his breathing was heavy when he spoke.

Xu Jiayun pursed her lips, revealing a somewhat aggrieved expression, "I'm kindly concerned about you, but you're so mean to me! Why did you come to save me when you didn't like me so much?!"

"Haven't you knelt enough in the ancestral hall?" Pei Sangyu suddenly opened his eyes, staring at her with his dark eyes.

Xu Jiayun seemed to be frightened by him, her face turned pale after being soaked in cold water and her expression was slightly stiff.

After a few seconds of pause, she bit her lip and pressed her whole body against the other side of the car door in anger.

She acted like a little girlfriend throwing a tantrum.

Pei Sangyu was irritated by the pain in his back and didn't want to talk too much with Xu Jiayun.

He closed his eyes again and ordered Zhou Jing to drive back to the villa.

……

After driving for twenty minutes, the car entered the villa.

As soon as the car stopped, Xu Jiayun opened the door and got out, walking into the villa angrily.

Zhou Jing called her from behind, "Ms. Xu, wait a moment..."

Xu Jiayun quickened her pace and even started to jog. If you didn't know better, you would think there was a ghost chasing her.

Zhou Jing: “…”

"I'll go take care of Miss Xu." Chi Yu said and quickly followed Xu Jiayun.

Pei Sangyu pushed open the door and got out of the car, his tall body swaying slightly.

Zhou Jing hurried forward to support him, "Mr. Pei, are you okay?"

"Yeah." Pei Sangyu looked very bad, with sweat covering his forehead.

Zhou Jing supported him and felt something sticky on his palm.

He glanced back with a panicked expression.

The black suit was soaked with blood.

"Let me help you up first!"

Zhou Jing helped Pei Sangyu back to the master bedroom and immediately called Jiang Muheng.

Jiang Muheng left the hospital immediately, but it would take at least twenty minutes.

Zhou Jing helped Pei Sangyu take off his shirt.

When the scars on the back were exposed in front of Zhou Jing, even as a man, he couldn't help but gasp.

The entire back was covered with whip marks, the skin was torn and the flesh was bloody.

This is the work of Mrs. Pei.

Every time Mrs. Pei fell ill, Pei Sangyu was the one who suffered the most.

However, this time, Mrs. Pei was particularly harsh.

It can be seen how much impact Xu Jiayun's pregnancy has on Mrs. Pei.

Zhou Jing turned his gaze to Pei Sangyu's pale face and sighed slightly.

He didn't understand. Was it really worth it for President Pei to go to this extent for a child who was destined to be used as a tool?
