Gu Zhen was looking around for Ning Xi when he heard some screams not too far away, assuming it might be Ning Xi, he followed the screams and came upon Ning Rou struggling in the pool.
"Help! Young Master please help me!", Ning Rou saw her hope the moment she saw Gu Zhen, she would use this chance to get closer to Gu Zhen and also ruin Ning Xi to him.
If she was able to seduce him and succeeded then she would abandon Shu Man and become Madam Gu.
It wasn't that she didn't like Shu Man however she would choose Gu Zhen over him.
Gu Zhen turned around, ignored her and walked away, he was never going to help anyone from the Ning family since they didn't treat his little girl well.
Ning Rou was dumbfounded to see young master Gu walk away, she had yelled so there was no way he could not have heard her.
Then...had he intentionally ignored her? but why? Maybe it was true that he had a very cold and heartless personality.
Ning Rou swam out of the water shivering, her clothes hung around her body exposing her attractive body shape.
Her hair was disheveled and her makeup was gone, however she still looked beautiful in that state.
'All this happened because of that damn bitch Ning Xi, if only she had come over to help me then I would have pulled her into the pool and then escaped '
Ning Rou descended the stairs with her hands around her trembling body, the moment Shu Man saw her he rushed over to her and covered her with his coat, he then carried her princess style.
"Lil Rou what happened? Why are you wet all over?", Shu Man worriedly asked.
"I... sister...she... cough!... she pushed me into the pool", Ning Rou blatantly lied and pretended to have difficulty breathing.
She looked so pale and innocent that Shu Man felt like kissing her, he carried to where the Ning family was seated and placed her down on the chair.
"Ning Rou!", Lin Yua immediately stood up upon seeing her daughter in that state and rushed over to her immediately.
"RouRou...", Old madam Ning You also walked up to her granddaughter and so did old Shu Yei. Ning Shua wasn't around as he was busy making connections.
"Isn't that Ning Rou? Why is she so wet?", people whispered.
"I wonder what happened to the Ning family's daughter, she's wet and crying"
"Let's go over and see what's happening over there"
Soon the whole place was crowded by people ready to gossip.
Ning Xi and Tan Yu were chatting when he heard the commotion.
"What's happening over there? Let's go and check", Tan Yu grabbed her hands.
"Let go! I'm not interested in gossip.", Ning Xi removed her hands from his grasp and walked away, she would go to the balcony and enjoy the view. She would come back only when the commotion was over.
"Lil Rou tell us what happened", Old Shu Yei tried to coax Ning Rou to talk, she hadn't spoken since she had arrived and was only crying.
The reporters there were overjoyed as they captured whatever was going on, it was really a good choice to have come over.
Tomorrow there would be hot gossip trending.
"Baby tell mommy what happened? Did someone push you into a pool? Was it that good for nothing sister of yours?", Lin Yua said, she was sure it must have been Ning Xi who had done it.
There was whispering going around after Lin Yua's words.
"The adopted daughter did this? She looks so innocent like an angel "
"What? It was the adopted daughter? She's so ungrateful to the Ning family "
"She looked very beautiful that I didn't expect such a thing from her"
"It was the adopted daughter? Maybe she wasn't the one, Ning Rou didn't say it was her"
"But judging from madam Ning's words the adopted daughter seems to have a bad personality "
Ning Rou was pleased with what she was hearing, this was what she wanted, she was going to ruin Ning Xi's reputation.
So what if everyone thought she was very beautiful? In the end she had a bad personality.
"Mom don't say that! Sisters not like that... she didn't do it intentionally", Ning Rou sobbed as she spoke.
"I knew it was that bitch! Where is she? I'll find her and teach her a lesson!", Lin Yua stomped her foot and walked away, she was going to look for Ning Xi and teach her a very good lesson.
"Lil Rou why are you always trying to cover up for your sister when she always pays back your good deeds with ungratefulness?", Shu Man felt like Ning Rou's heart was too soft, she was always being magnanimous to Ning Xi.
"Brother Shu don't say that... sister... she... she's just too stubborn that's all, she didn't push me I fell into the water by myself!", Ning Rou said, however she sounded like she was lying.
"So that's how the adopted daughter is, it seems like this is not the first time she has done something like this"
"She's very ungrateful, the Ning family took pity upon her and brought her to their home however she's jealous of the real heiress and wants to harm her"
"I've learnt a lesson from this, I'll never take a stranger into my home no matter how pitiful they are!"
"But I must admit that the adopted daughter is extremely beautiful and has a beautiful figure much more than the real daughter so why must she be jealous?"
"Hey do you have a low IQ? She's doing this because she's after the Ning family's money and property!"
Ning Rou was unhappy when she heard the comment, how dare that person openly say that Ning Xi was better than her?
She Ning Rou was the best even if Ning Xi was prettier than her.
Ning Xi was staring at the stars in the sky, there were so many stars tonight and it looked very beautiful.
How she wished she could see a shooting star so that she made a wish.
At this moment Ning Xi felt a strong grip grab her by the hair and within a second she was thrown into the pool.
