Chu Ruoruo did not stay a minute longer. After saying these words, she stood up and left.

She was in a hurry, a little like she was fleeing in a panic.

She did not need to look in the mirror to know that her face was definitely very red.

Because her small face was burning hot, and her heart was beating extremely fast, as if it was about to burst out of her chest.

That day, after she had dinner with Ye Qingran and Chu Yan, He Cizhou did not say anything to her when he sent her back. However, the last time she went out to eat with He Cizhou, He Cizhou said something to her when he sent her back.

She was too embarrassed to tell Ye Qingran those words, and she did not know how to tell Ye Qingran.

She slapped her face with her cold palms, and the blush from her shyness gradually dissipated.

Chu Ruoruo kept walking forward. She was only concerned about her shyness and confusion, and she did not even know that she had walked past the washroom.

It was only when the cold rain hit her body that she realized that she had walked to the small balcony at the end.

She raised her head and covered her forehead with her hand, smiling helplessly.

It was all because of He Cizhou. Why did he say such things to her? It made her feel uneasy all this time.

She turned around and walked back.

The door of the fire escape suddenly opened. A figure walked out quickly with a gift box and a bouquet of flowers in her hands.

When he saw Chu Ruoruo, he was slightly stunned. She subconsciously wanted to retreat, but he heard Chu Ruoruo mutter her name, “Mu Qingxue?”

Yes, the person who walked out of the fire escape was Mu Qingxue.

Even if she was wearing a mask, Chu Ruoruo could still recognize her with a glance.

However, she was not sure, so she asked in confusion.

Mu Qingxue, who was recognized, stopped and looked at Chu Ruoruo curiously, “What a coincidence, you are eating here too.”

Chu Ruoruo did not want to bother with Mu Qingxue at all.

As if she was looking at a stranger, she calmly retracted her gaze and took a step forward, preparing to leave.

However, Mu Qingxue quickly stepped forward and blocked Chu Ruoruo’s path.

She took a few steps forward, obstructing Chu Ruoruo before taking a few steps back. “Why are you in such a hurry to leave? We haven’t seen each other for so long. Now that we’ve met, shouldn’t we catch up?”

“I’m not familiar with you. There’s nothing to talk about. Move aside!” Chu Ruoruo shouted unhappily.

“Chu Ruoruo, there’s no need to be like this. There’s no enmity between us to begin with. In the past, we only fought each other because you were Ye Qingran’s girlfriend and Ye Qingran wanted to pursue me. It was Ye Qingran who deliberately played me and pretended to be a man to deceive your feelings. That’s why we didn’t get along. Now...”

Before Mu Qingxue could finish her sentence, Chu Ruoruo interrupted her, “Stop trying to sow discord here.”

Mu Qingxue was a little confused, “I’m really curious. She obviously lied to you and used you. Such a despicable and shameless person, why do you still come out to eat with her?”

“What has it got to do with you? !”

Chu Ruoruo retorted as a trace of suspicion flashed across her eyes.

When Mu Qingxue first saw her, she was clearly very surprised. It was as if she did not expect that she would appear here.

However, from her words, it was obvious that she knew that she and Ye Qingran were here.

It was strange that she was wearing a mask. This Mu Qingxue was trying to do something bad.

“Who I like to eat with is my business. As for you, what are you doing here? What are you holding in your hand?” Chu Ruoruo’s gaze landed on the gift box in her hand.

Mu Qingxue subconsciously tightened her grip on the gift box and replied with a smile, “Of course it’s a gift from someone else. If you like it, I can give it to you as well.”

Chu Ruoruo chuckled and her words were full of sarcasm, “Do you think I’ll accept your things? Move aside, I’m going back.”

Mu Qingxue still did not move aside. She just walked forward, “I just want to talk to you.”

She happened to be in the middle of the path. With the flowers and the gift box in her arms, she blocked the path.

Chu Ruoruo could only take a few steps back and return to the balcony.

She frowned and said, “Mu Qingxue, if you still want to sow discord between us, then your plan is wrong. This is because I already knew that she was a girl a long time ago. Moreover, I was the matchmaker when she was with my brother. I like her to be my sister-in-law. As for you, what kind of rotten person are you? This...”

“Who are you calling a jerk? You’re the jerk! !”

Mu Qingxue’s expression changed all of a sudden as she shouted coldly. Then, she stretched out her hand and pushed forcefully,

Chu Ruoruo did not expect that she would suddenly fly into a rage. Caught off guard, she fell directly into the river below.

The violent wind and heavy rain, along with the pitter-patter sounds, completely covered Chu Ruoruo’s “Ah” cry and the sound of her falling into the river.

–

Ye Qingran saw that Chu Ruoruo had not returned for a long time and that Chu Yan had arrived, so she got up and went to the washroom to look for her.

Only when she went did she realize that Chu Ruoruo was not in the washroom.

She walked forward to look for her. Only when she reached the balcony did she see that there was someone struggling in the river below, splashing a large amount of water. It seemed that they were still shouting for help, but they were all swallowed by the combination of thunder and lightning, the strong wind and heavy rain.

Ye Qingran’s heart jumped.

The struggling pink figure in the water could be seen through the wind and rain. It was Chu Ruoruo.

How did she fall down.

Ye Qingran did not dare to stop for even a second. She ran down while shouting for help that someone had fallen into the water.

However, this place was slightly remote and there were violent storms. Until she ran down and jumped into the water, no one came over.

Ye Qingran held her breath and dived down with all her might, swimming towards Chu Ruoruo.

Chu Ruoruo had already lost consciousness and was floating in the water with her eyes closed, as if she would suffocate to death in the next second.

Ye Qingran gritted her teeth and swam over with all her might. She grabbed Chu Ruoruo’s hand and pulled her out of the water with all her might.

As soon as she surfaced, the stormy wind and rain hit her head, almost making her sink again.

She choked a few times, and her nose and throat were sore and swollen. She could not shout for help, so she could only try her best to swim to the shore.

Fortunately, when she ran down, she had been shouting for help. At this moment, a security guard finally ran over and pulled the two people who had swam to the shore up.

Chu Ruoruo only choked and fainted. After the treatment, she spat out the saliva and slowly woke up.

“Brother Ran,” she was frightened and hugged Ye Qingran.

Ye Qingran saw that she was fine and heaved a sigh of relief. She patted her back and said, “Don’t be afraid. It’s alright, It’s alright.”

Chu Ruoruo was still crying. Her voice was filled with panic and fear. “It’s Mu Qingxue. She’s crazy. She ignored me and pushed me. This is murder. Can I sue her...”

She told Ye Qingran and Chu Yan everything that happened after she met Mu Qingxue.

Ye Qingran’s eyes turned cold. The gift box and the roses..

Mu Qingxue, who was hiding in the corner, clenched her fists tightly when she saw this scene! !
