On the day of his whirlwind wedding, the heir to a wealthy family stood up!

Su Chenxi stayed with the old lady for a while, then she got sleepy and planned to rest. Just then, another maid walked in from outside the door. "Second Young Mistress, I'll look after the old lady. You should go and rest!"

Su Chenxi glanced at her with some trepidation. It seemed that Shen Yaorong and his wife had ill intentions towards the old lady. She wondered if these people were reliable.

Su Chenxi left the banquet, still not wanting to return. She decided to wander around instead, unaware that several pairs of eyes were already watching her from behind.

Mrs. Shen's assistant, Zhu Ying, was ordered to keep an eye on her.

Su Chenxi went to a second-floor balcony to enjoy the view. Below was a huge swimming pool. It was said that this manor was one of the Shen family's properties and was usually used to entertain distinguished guests.

Su Chenxi took out her phone to check the messages. The company was currently in trouble, which was also worrying her. Xia Xiaomeng had just said in the bathroom that she would ruin her career and shatter her dreams.

Her dream is to become a designer.

Su Chenxi was engrossed in reading the message and was unaware that a figure was approaching her from behind. This person was wearing a mask and a hat, and his gaze was fierce and sharp.

Su Chenxi noticed someone behind her and turned her head, but suddenly her legs were grabbed tightly. Then, she was pulled up and pushed downstairs.

Su Chenxi realized that this person was going to push her off the stairs. She asked in terror and anger, "Who are you? What are you going to do?"

This person was extremely strong. He grabbed her legs and shoved her hard downstairs. With a scream, Su Chenxi fell headfirst to the ground floor.

With a "plop," Su Chenxi's body plunged into the swimming pool, losing control.

The person on the second floor leaned out and saw her fall into the water. He angrily slammed his hand on the railing and shouted, "Why didn't she die?"

She was the same maid from earlier; she had thought the floor downstairs was concrete, but it turned out to be a swimming pool.

This saved Su Chenxi's life.

Although she fell into the water, it took Su Chenxi a while to come to her senses. She was glad that she had learned to swim, otherwise she would have died too if she had fallen into the two-meter-deep pool.

With all her might, she swam to the shore, grabbed the railing, and climbed ashore. Lying on the floor, Su Chenxi gasped for breath, her mind reeling with fear as she realized someone was trying to kill her.

Is it Xia Xiaomeng?

No, Su Chenxi denied it. Even if Xia Xiaomeng wanted her dead, she wouldn't kill her so easily.

She thought of the maid who had drugged her earlier. Only she had a motive to kill her. She must have become suspicious of her and wanted to kill her to silence her.

"Miss, are you alright?" A waiter came over to ask her.

"It's okay, I... I accidentally fell into the water." Su Chenxi stood up, looking extremely disheveled and soaking wet.

"We have clothes prepared for our guests here, please go and change into one!" the waiter said.

Su Chenxi followed her into the changing room. She chose a simple dress and came out, still feeling lingering fear.

That maid must be Mrs. Shen's person, so the person who wants her dead is not only the maid, but also her master, Mr. and Mrs. Shen Yaorong.

Su Chenxi shuddered. What kind of luck was this? First, she stumbled upon Shen Yanchuan's secret, and now she's stumbled upon Shen Yaorong's secret of killing his mother.

She couldn't help but laugh at herself, thinking, "Why don't I just buy a lottery ticket right now, win the jackpot, and travel to another country?"

Having caused such a huge disaster and offended the head of the Shen family, even the Jiang family couldn't save her. The only person she could turn to for help was her husband, who was pretending to be lame.

Moreover, she had to tell him that the old lady had been given a slow-acting poison, otherwise the old lady's life would be in danger.

Su Chenxi hid in a crowded area. She stood in a corner of the banquet hall and looked towards the chairman's table. Shen Yanchuan was no longer in his seat.

He should have gone to the lounge. Just as Su Chenxi was about to leave, a surprised voice came from behind, "Chenxi, what are you doing here?"

Su Chenxi turned around and saw her mother walking towards her. She felt a pang of panic. Would she implicate her mother?

"Mom, I...I'm looking for Yan Chuan."

“I just saw him. He went to the lounge over there,” Su Meifen pointed in a direction.

"Mom, I'll go find him first, we'll talk later." After saying that, Su Chenxi lifted her skirt and headed in the direction her mother pointed.

Su Chenxi asked the waiter, who pointed to a private room and said, "The second young master is in that room."

Su Chenxi walked over quickly, knocked on the door once, and then pushed it open and went inside.

Inside the private room, Shen Yanchuan was resting, with Zhou Youchen beside him. They seemed to be having a conversation, but when she came in, they both stopped talking.

Su Chenxi closed the door, clutching her rapidly pounding heart, and shouted to Shen Yanchuan, "Second Young Master, help! Someone is trying to kill me!"

"Second Young Mistress, what happened?" Zhou Youchen asked first.

Seeing that she had changed into a dress and her hair was wet, Shen Yanchuan frowned and asked, "Who wants to kill you?"

Su Chenxi bit her red lips and glanced at Zhou Youchen. Clearly, what she wanted to say could only be heard by Shen Yanchuan.

Shen Yanchuan saw through her thoughts and said calmly, "Speak! Youchen is mine."

Su Chenxi looked apologetically at Zhou Youchen, "Assistant Zhou, I'm sorry, but what I'm about to say is quite serious."

Zhou Youchen nodded understandingly, "Second Young Madam, please speak!"

Su Chenxi then recounted what she had just seen and experienced. After she finished speaking, she instinctively reached out and took Shen Yanchuan's arm, her eyes red with tears, and said, "Second Young Master, please, you must save me. Only you can save me."

If it weren't for the swimming pool saving her life, but instead she had fallen onto the concrete floor headfirst, she would have surely broken her neck and died.

"This is outrageous! How dare they lay a hand on an old lady!" Zhou Youchen exclaimed angrily.

Shen Yanchuan's fists clenched tightly, his knuckles turning white, his eyes flashing with intense anger. "Are you sure you saw it?"

“I guarantee I saw the maid put the drug in with my own eyes, but I don’t know what kind of powder it was.” Su Chenxi nodded vigorously.

"No wonder the old lady's health has been getting weaker and weaker in the past two years, and she has been unable to attend board meetings."

Since Su Chenxi had decided to seek his protection, she also told him about the conversation between Shen Yaorong and the old lady.

Zhou Youchen snorted, "They're inhuman. They'd even harm their own mother just to get shares."

Su Chenxi shivered, like a panicked kitten, and clung tightly to Shen Yanchuan's arm, saying, "Second Young Master, you will save me, won't you!"

Shen Yanchuan looked down at her slender arms tightly wrapped around him, and then at her pitiful yet fiercely survival-seeking eyes. He nodded, "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you."

This statement is concise yet powerful.

Su Chenxi hugged him in surprise, "Thank you so much."

"Don't worry, Second Young Mistress, Second Young Master is absolutely capable of protecting you," Zhou Youchen comforted her from the side.

Su Chenxi had just survived a life-or-death ordeal, and she was filled with lingering fear after narrowly escaping death.

For some reason, she truly believed that Shen Yanchuan was incapable of protecting her.

At that moment, in another lounge, after listening to the maid's report, Mrs. Shen's face darkened. "How did you do your job? You didn't get the job done and you almost exposed us."

"I'm sorry, Madam, I didn't realize there was a swimming pool down there. If it weren't for the pool, she would definitely be dead."

"She must have run to tell Shen Yanchuan." Zhu Ying narrowed her eyes. If that useless cripple dared to tell the old woman, she had to make a move before the old woman could cause trouble.

We absolutely cannot let the shares she holds fall into that cripple's hands.

"Be prepared and follow my orders at any time," Zhu Ying said sternly to the three women in front of her.

"Yes, we will obey Madam's orders." These three maids all served the old lady, and now they are all Zhu Ying's people.
