Chapter 13: Then you call the police.

After Sheng Tang left, Qiao Shuyi also took out her phone and sent a message to her family, telling them that she would be back late tonight and they shouldn’t wait for her.

Just as she sent the message, a black shadow suddenly fell from above her head, accompanied by a cold male voice ringing in her ear: “Qiao Shuyi.”

“!”

Hearing this voice, Qiao Shuyi trembled all over, turning her head back in disbelief and standing up from the lounge chair.

“How did you get here?”

The man standing behind her was none other than Gu Linchuan.

His face was gloomy, and his gaze towards her was full of disgust and disappointment.

Behind him, Liang Man stood with swollen eyes, looking pitiful and helpless.

Qiao Shuyi quickly realized what was going on.

Gu Linchuan wasn’t on the guest list for tonight’s party, and Qiao Shuyi hadn’t seen him before.

The reason why he was here now was probably because Liang Man had been bullied by Chen Zexu, and he had come to defend her.

What Qiao Shuyi didn’t understand was, whether it was to defend her or to settle the score, he should have gone to Chen Zexu, why was he looking for her?

Soon, Gu Linchuan gave her the answer.

“Is tonight’s incident related to you?”

Qiao Shuyi frowned, her expression displeased: “What are you talking about? What nonsense.”

“Did you tell Chen Zexu to bully Manman?!”

“?”

Qiao Shuyi was full of question marks, what did this have to do with her?

Liang Man spoke up from behind, her voice tinged with a sob: “Miss Qiao, I know you resent me, resent me for taking Linchuan away, but you can’t let people bully me like this, I’m a person with dignity too…”

As she spoke, she covered her face and burst into tears.

Liang Man’s voice was loud, quickly attracting a lot of people to gather around and watch the drama.

Qiao Shuyi was speechless, her voice couldn’t help but be tinged with anger: “Whoever bullied you, go find them, why are you looking for me? Did I bully you?”

Liang Man suddenly lifted her stubborn little face, her eyes blurred with tears as she questioned: “You just finished talking to Mr. Chen and his friends, and then he touched my butt… How dare you say this has nothing to do with you?”

“…”

Qiao Shuyi felt her temples throbbing, she wanted to swear, but she wasn’t very good at it.

Seeing her silence, Liang Man cried even harder: “Miss Qiao, I’ll take it if you hit me or scold me, it’s right for you to blame me, but why would you do this to me…”

“Qiao Shuyi, you’re going too far!”

Gu Linchuan suddenly roared: “If you have something to say, say it to me, I was the one who wanted to leave that day, it has nothing to do with Manman, I fell in love with her, I don’t want to continue with you!”

Gu Linchuan’s voice was loud, at least the onlookers around could hear it clearly.

The crowd immediately erupted in an uproar.

It had only been two days since that incident, many people only knew that the engagement between the Gu and Qiao families had been canceled, but they didn’t know the real reason.

Even if there were some rumors, they couldn’t be confirmed.

Now, hearing Gu Linchuan personally reveal the reason, everyone suddenly realized, and their gaze towards Qiao Shuyi instantly became sympathetic and pitiful.

This kind of gaze made Qiao Shuyi extremely uncomfortable.

She had always been a gentle and soft-spoken person, but she was also a very proud person at heart, she hated other people’s sympathy and pity.

“I’ll say it again, tonight’s incident has nothing to do with me. Since it was Chen Zexu who touched her, then you should go ask him, why are you holding onto me here?”

Liang Man sniffed, pitifully opening her mouth: “He’s gone… Even if he was here, what could he do? You’re so close to Miss Sheng, he definitely wouldn’t tell the truth…”

Qiao Shuyi was almost laughed at by their logic, they were determined to pin the blame on her today, weren’t they?

“Fine, then you call the police.”

She was too lazy to waste her breath on these two people, she sneered, turned around and prepared to leave.

“Don’t leave!” Gu Linchuan suddenly grabbed her wrist, shouting: “You explain yourself!”

“Don’t touch me!”

The moment he grabbed her wrist, a strong feeling of nausea and icy coldness instantly surged through her heart, Qiao Shuyi’s face changed drastically, she suddenly shook his hand away.

However, because she used too much force, as she shook Gu Linchuan’s hand away, her whole body uncontrollably leaned back.

Behind her, there was the swimming pool.

Gu Linchuan’s face changed slightly, he subconsciously wanted to reach out to grab her, but he only touched the hem of her skirt.

With a “plop”, Qiao Shuyi fell into the pool, splashing up a huge wave of water, soaking Gu Linchuan on the shore.

“Qiao Qiao!”

When Sheng Tang came back after answering the phone, she happened to see Qiao Shuyi fall into the pool, her face instantly changed, she quickly ran towards the edge of the pool.

She didn’t forget to give Gu Linchuan a murderous look.

“No, I…”

Sheng Tang didn’t pay any attention to him, she leaned over the edge of the pool, reaching out her hand towards the water, “Qiao Qiao, grab my hand!”

Fortunately, Qiao Shuyi could swim, she soon surfaced from the water, and with Sheng Tang’s help, she climbed onto the shore.

“Are you okay?”

Qiao Shuyi sat on the ground, shook her head, wiped the water off her face, and secretly cursed in her heart, “Bad luck.”

Sure enough, whenever she met Gu Linchuan, nothing good happened…

“Qiao Qiao, your clothes…”

Sheng Tang suddenly moved closer to her, lowering her voice to remind her.

Qiao Shuyi looked down following her gaze, her face instantly changed.

She was wearing a white long dress today, now the dress was soaked by the water, becoming transparent, clinging wetly to her body, outlining her body curves perfectly.

Qiao Shuyi reached out to wrap her arms around herself, her peripheral vision sweeping across the people watching the show around her.

People’s bad nature was revealed at this time.

Many men’s eyes were now fixed on her, naked and playful.

No one stepped forward to help.

Just then, Liang Man suddenly covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise: “Miss Qiao, your clothes…”

Qiao Shuyi gave her a cold look.

She didn’t miss the obvious gloating on her face.

Sheng Tang reached out, wanting to cover part of her vision for her.

But if she covered this side, she couldn’t cover that side, if she covered the front, she couldn’t cover the back.

It was the middle of summer, the temperature was high, everyone was basically only wearing one piece of clothing, there was no extra clothing to take off to cover Qiao Shuyi.

Gu Linchuan frowned, his fingers moved, subconsciously wanting to unbutton his shirt.

Liang Man, who had been closely watching his every move, immediately stepped forward, reaching out to hold his arm, sweetly opening her mouth: “Linchuan, I suddenly feel a little unwell, why don’t we go back…”

However, Gu Linchuan seemed to have not heard her words, he remained motionless, his gaze fixed on Qiao Shuyi sitting on the ground.

Liang Man pursed her lips, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes.
