Jin Shaoheng didn't know what he was going to do. He just saw her looking lonely and realized that this was already the case.
Now that he was riding a tiger, he couldn't find a good reason for a while. Finally, he brushed her lips with his thumb and said as an excuse: "The lipstick is too bright."
Lu Xining's face turned red and he replied: "I know." He left the bedroom in a panic.
After she went downstairs, she wiped off some lipstick in the bathroom.
"Young mistress, the young master asks you if you are okay?" Zhuang Ma's urging voice came from outside.
"Okay." Lu Xining responded.
In order to prevent him from waiting for her, she held up her skirt and walked out quickly.
…
Banquets and gatherings are intertwined.
Lu Xining was already very beautiful, and she stunned everyone when she appeared. Plus, she attended with Jin Shaoheng, so she naturally attracted much attention.
There were many people who fawned over Jin Shaoheng, and naturally they also paid her compliments one after another. All the ladies who looked at her were secretly jealous.
After all, they had been married for two years, and Jin Shaoheng had never shown Lu Xining in public. It was rumored that she was disfigured by debt collectors after her family went bankrupt, and Jin Shaoheng hated her extremely.
Today, they saw that it was not the case at all, which completely extinguished their illusions.
After drinking for three rounds, Jin Shaoheng went to talk to Mr. Chen in private. Lu Xining was not used to wearing such high shoes, so she went to the bathroom.
I was sitting on the toilet seat in the partition, rubbing my feet, when I heard someone talking about me outside.
"Look at Lu Xining's proud look today, a villain succeeds."
Several women were touching up their makeup in front of the sink, and one of them couldn't help but speak sourly.
"Didn't you say that Mr. Jin doesn't want to see her?"
"It's not just for Jin's project, it's all just for show. Do you really think Mr. Jin cares about her?"
"That is, who doesn't know that Mr. Jin married her entirely because of his mother, Mrs. Jin?"
"However, I heard that Mrs. Jin's condition is serious and she probably won't live long. I'm afraid that Lu Xining, Mrs. Jin's throne, will soon be unsafe—"
The chatter between the few people became more and more lively. The partition door was pushed open, and the three people were startled at the same time because of the loud movement.
They turned around and saw Lu Xining walking in with an angry look on his face and approaching the woman who was talking about Zhang Tingyu.
"Mrs. Jin..." The person behind the scenes was caught, and the woman felt guilty.
"What are you afraid of? We are telling the truth." The companion next to her stood next to her with her hands folded across her chest, completely ignoring Lu Xining.
"That is, how did she marry Mr. Jin back then, none of us know?" After someone took the lead, another one got bold and looked at Lu Xining provocatively.
"It's okay to say that to me, but if Jin Shaoheng knew that you said this about his mother, do you think he would be happy?" Lu Xining asked, which was also the reason why she was angry.
Sure enough, as soon as Lu Xining said these words, the expressions of the three of them changed.
"Stop scaring us. Do you believe Mr. Jin? Who can testify?"
Lu Xining directly showed the mobile phone in the palm of his hand: "What if I record it?"
"You...you..." Now the few people who were still lucky were completely panicked.
Seeing Lu Xining walking out with her cell phone, the woman who said Zhang Tingyu was the first to get anxious, and quickly grabbed her hand and begged for mercy: "Mrs. Jin, we know we were wrong. You don't remember the faults of villains, so please forgive us this time.
"
Lu Xining glanced at her, as if he was scared and sincerely begging for mercy. Although the other two women did not speak, they lost their previous arrogance.
"Just remember this time, you should know what to do in the future." Lu Xining withdrew his hand and left directly.
She just wanted to teach them a lesson and make them feel awe in their hearts so that they could keep their mouths shut.
But those words still touched Lu Xining's pain point. Her mood was affected, so she did not return to the banquet immediately, but subconsciously wanted to find a quiet place.
Unknowingly, I came to the fish pond. Although it was already winter, the water surface was not frozen yet, but it was a little cold standing next to the water.
After standing for a while, he subconsciously rubbed his arms and was about to leave when his back was suddenly pushed hard and he fell straight into the water.
thump!
The cold pool water flooded the top of her head, surrounded her entire body, and poured into her mouth and nose.
Lu Xining struggled subconsciously, but the more she swung her limbs, the more her body sank.
"Help! Someone fell into the water."
Someone shouted loudly by the pool, which immediately attracted many people.
Over at Jin Shaoheng, after talking to Mr. Chen, he did not see Lu Xining. He was looking for someone, and his attention was also attracted.
I didn't pay much attention to it at first, I just glanced at Chi Nei and saw a flash of white.
That was the color of the dress Lu Xining was wearing, and he immediately jumped in without thinking.
"Mr. Jin!"
It was such a cold day, and although everyone shouted vigorously, no one actually went to rescue him.
Seeing him jumping in without hesitation now, I was both shocked and nervous.
Jin Shaoheng's swimming ability was very good, and he soon swam to Lu Xining and fished her out.
Lu Xining had already fallen into a coma because he choked on the water.
"Xining! Lu Xining!"
Jin Shaoheng patted her face and shouted. Seeing that Lu Xining still didn't respond, he laid her flat on the ground.
He knelt on one knee, leaned over and pressed her chest repeatedly, and then performed artificial respiration.
"Cough...cough..."
After a while, Lu Xining finally vomited a mouthful of water and gradually woke up.
The hotel staff brought a blanket over, and Jin Shaoheng didn't care about himself. He wrapped Lu Xining tightly and carried her in.
The manager took them into the assigned guest room. Warm water was pouring into the bathtub, and the entire bathroom was filled with mist.
Jin Shaoheng was about to put Lu Xining, who was shivering from the cold, in his arms, but unexpectedly she subconsciously hugged his neck tightly.
The two of them were so close, he could even feel the fear in her heart, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, it's okay."
Lu Xining, however, seemed to not listen at all, shaking his head and hugging him tighter.
"Lu Xining..."
The voice was gentler than ever before, filled with helplessness, distress, and pity.
Lu Xining let go of him unconsciously, and was mesmerized by his eyes until she was put into the bathtub.
Her cold body was wrapped in warmth, and she looked at Jin Shaoheng again. He did not leave in a hurry, but kept standing by the bathtub to accompany her.
Lu Xining saw that he was wet all over, and there were still drops of water dripping from the tips of his hair.
Thinking of the biting coldness in the pool, she impulsively said: "How about you come in and take a dip too?"
Jin Shaoheng looked at her in surprise when he heard this.
Lu Xining seemed to realize that his words had caused misunderstanding, and quickly explained: "I didn't mean anything else, I just-"
Before she finished speaking, Jin Shaoheng stepped in...
