The icy cold water instantly covered my mouth and nose.

My body sank involuntarily.

Jiang Ruoli closed her eyes, and for a moment, she thought, if Huo Xingzhou could break free from the control of the plot and choose her between her and Fu Yao, then she might give up running away and stay by his side peacefully. What charming heroine, what bullshit favorability value, she could give it all for love.

But if he chose Fu Yao...

Then we can only run away!

at this time.

The poolside was in chaos.

Jiang Ruoli felt someone jump into the pool, grab her arm, and pull her out of the water.

The sudden fresh breath made her cough violently. What she saw was a familiar face, with hair wet by the pool water hanging down on his forehead, looking at her with a worried look.

"Ari, are you okay?" Jiang Shaoqing asked.

"...It's okay." Jiang Ruoli used his strength to turn her head and look to the other side. Fu Yao was lying in Huo Xingzhou's arms, her little face was pale, her whole body was trembling, and the sound she made was broken.

Ah...

really...

A hint of disappointment flashed across Jiang Ruoli's eyes, the corners of her eyes turned red, and she laughed at herself.

"A-Li." Tang Jiujiu squatted by the pool, took the blanket from the waiter and draped it over Jiang Ruoli. She hugged her with a look of heartache and whispered in her ear, "Everything went well with the plan. It's up to you now."

Jiang Ruoli didn't say anything.

Tang Jiujiu thought she didn't hear him and was about to repeat herself when she suddenly noticed that her expression was not right. She asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Can't you swim?"

Jiang Ruoli had participated in swimming competitions before, so she was not scared by the splashes.

It's just a moment of being swayed by emotions.

She came to her senses, put those inappropriate thoughts behind her, and secretly made a gesture to Tang Jiujiu. The next second, her legs went weak and she fell down as if she had lost her strength. Tang Jiujiu pretended to support her and helped her to the rest chair next to her.

the other side.

Huo Xingzhou pulled Fu Yao out of the water. Fu Yao's legs were weak and all the strength in her body seemed to be drained. She bit her lower lip, her face was pale, and her body was still trembling slightly. She leaned weakly in the man's arms, looking pitiful.

Those who didn't know thought Fu Yao was the woman Huo Xingzhou cared about.

"Are you okay?"

Fu Yao bit her trembling lips, tears flashing in her eyes, and shook her head, "It's okay."

She thought of something, lowered her head, and tried to hold back her tears. "I'm sorry for causing you trouble again."

"Huo Xingzhou!" Tang Jiujiu frowned when she saw the time was right and questioned, "Are you blind? Didn't you see A'li also fell into the water? All you have eyes for is your white moonlight, you damn scumbag!"

After scolding him, she still didn't feel satisfied, so she threw the towel in her hand at him without hesitation.

Huo Xingzhou turned his head away, his brows furrowed slightly, and his tone became noticeably heavier, "Fu Yao can't swim."

Gee tut.

What a poor excuse.

He is undoubtedly a scumbag.

Fang Hao stood aside, looking at Tang Jiujiu, and thought she was really interesting.

The obedient little white rabbit is not fun at all. It cries, makes noises and scolds people, which makes it lively!

Jiang Ruoli sneered, then felt aggrieved for a moment, "Jiujiu, stop talking."

"Why can't you tell me?"

Act out the play to the end.

It's time to give her a break!

Tang Jiujiu ignored the others' attempts to stop her and walked a few steps in front of Fu Yao, pointing her finger and scolding her, "You keep saying you won't ruin other people's relationships, but what does your current behavior mean? If you want to monopolize someone else's husband, please use some clever tactics. You fell from the building yesterday and fell into the swimming pool today. Are you going to be poisoned next?"

Fu Yao was puzzled.

It was Jiang Ruoli who dragged her into the swimming pool, so how did it become her trick?

For a moment, she couldn't figure out what her two best friends were trying to do.

It seems like I’m about to know something, but I can’t make any sense of it, like a tangled ball of dimes that gets more and more tangled.

But right now, she couldn't let Huo Xingzhou become suspicious.

"No, that's not the case." She clenched her fist against her lips and coughed lightly a few times, her voice hoarse, "I didn't push her. She was the one who dragged me down. If you don't believe me, ask A-Li."

Huo Xingzhou hesitated for a moment.

Just as she was about to stand up, Fu Yao leaned against him, almost unable to support herself, and whispered weakly, "Xingzhou, I...my chest hurts so much."

Although her voice was low, Huo Xingzhou still heard it.

Fu Yao lost consciousness just after she finished speaking. Huo Xingzhou picked her up without any hesitation. Looking at her haggard face, he told Qin Wen beside him to take Jiang Ruoli back to the room to change clothes, and then hurriedly left the scene.

Jiang Ruoli's throat tightened and her heart ached. She suppressed her emotions, stood up, and said to Tang Jiujiu with a relaxed smile, "Forget it, let's go too."

......

Second floor lounge.

Fu Yao woke up, lowered her head, tears dripping from her eyes, her voice choked and pitiful, "I don't know why A Li has such great malice towards me. I treat her as a sister, but she..."

These words undoubtedly made it a fact that Jiang Ruoli pushed her into the water.

Of course, she didn't want to delve into it, she just wanted to arouse Huo Xingzhou's pity. She caught a glimpse of the man's suit trousers, which were ironed without a wrinkle. He was noble and arrogant, and continued to pretend.

"Did she push you?" Huo Xingzhou said in a calm voice.

Fu Yao swallowed the words of explanation back into her mouth.

"Roading."

Her eyes were red and she raised her head, allowing Huo Xingzhou to see the tears on her little face.

I feel pity for you.

As she shed silent tears, Huo Xingzhou remained calm and turned around. "Okay, someone will take you back later. Have a good rest."

Huo Xingzhou's expression was indifferent.

Whenever I think of Jiang Ruoli's hurt eyes, my heart tightens inexplicably.

She must have been very sad just now!

Thinking of this, Huo Xingzhou was about to leave. Fu Yao bit her lip, "Xingzhou..."

Huo Xingzhou looked at her with his dark eyes, "Anything else?"

"Say sorry to A'li for me." Fu Yao's eyes were red and her fingers clenched unconsciously.

Huo Xingzhou remained silent.

During this period of silence, Fu Yao felt increasingly uneasy.

Ever since she came back from abroad, she always felt that she had no control over the overall situation. No, it should be said that she could no longer see through Huo Xingzhou's thoughts.

"No need to apologize!"

After saying that, he walked away.

Only Fu Yao was left standing there awkwardly.

the other side.

Qin Wen brought a change of clothes and said respectfully, "Boss Huo asked me to send Mrs. Huo back."

"Still mentioning him? Can't you see that A Li is in a bad mood? This damn scumbag doesn't even treat A Li as his wife. He's pretending to be a good husband!" Tang Jiujiu crossed her arms and raised her chin proudly, "Give me the car keys, we can go back by ourselves."

"This..." Qin Wen hesitated.

Tang Jiujiu urged, "What's the matter? Mrs. Huo's words are no longer effective?"

How could Qin Wen dare to refuse? He took out the car keys from his pocket and handed them to Tang Jiujiu, watching the door in front of him slam shut in front of him.
