Chapter 903

“So, the truth is, either you threw Xia Qiongqiong into the sea, or you had Xia Yanyan trick Xia Qiongqiong into jumping into the sea by competing to see who could jump farther, am I right?”

Ye Xingguang didn’t care about Xia Wealth’s justification for his actions; she only wanted the facts.

Xia Wealth, with a face full of guilt: “Qiongqiong, daddy really had no other choice but to use that method; treating a dead horse as if it were alive. As it turns out, the master’s words were efficacious. You indeed met with fortune through this disaster, and Dad is very relieved.”

Ye Xingguang also pinched her thigh hard, struggling to squeeze out a few tears, showing a very sad expression: “But why does Xia Yanyan deny it? Why does she say it was Xia Qiongqiong who wanted to jump into the sea herself? I really can’t understand why she is still trying to tarnish Xia Qiongqiong’s reputation? Wasn’t it her who tricked Xia Qiongqiong by saying whoever jumps farther gets a prize?”

“Dad!” Xia Yanyan really thought her father had lost his mind, to even admit to such a thing!

However, Xia Wealth felt that only by mending the relationship with his younger daughter could he maximize his benefits, “Yanyan, indeed I have wronged Qiongqiong, you don’t need to cover for me; I don’t deserve to be a father. Fortunately, heaven has given me a chance to make amends.”noveldrama

Just then, someone suddenly shouted, “It’s terrible, someone has fallen into the water, she can’t swim!”

Outside the venue, there was a fountain pool with quite deep water, dangerous for those who couldn’t swim.

The fountain pool was less than three meters away from them.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xingguang, without further ado, plunged into the fountain pool with a splash.

Instantly, the onlookers and surrounding reporters no longer cared about the interview, focusing instead on the girl who had fallen into the water.

A reporter directly shouldered the camera, capturing the scene of Ye Xingguang diving into the cold winter water to save someone.

Then, some reporters began to sense something was amiss.

“Hey, why didn’t Miss Ye develop a beautiful fish tail as soon as she jumped into the water? Shouldn’t a mermaid transform immediately upon touching water?”

“Right, isn’t Miss Ye Xia Qiongqiong? Why didn’t she transform into a mermaid with a tail? Could it be that Miss Ye is not really Xia Qiongqiong?”

Xia Wealth, who was desperate to mend the relationship with his daughter, also witnessed this scene. Ye Xingguang, who had jumped into the water to save someone, did not grow a beautiful fish tail… She… wasn’t a mermaid at all?

Onshore, the crowd buzzed with discussion, in the water, Ye Xingguang had already grabbed the drowning girl and brought her to shore.

After saving her, Ye Xingguang crouched beside the girl, asking anxiously, “How are you?”

“Tha…thank you…” The girl shivered violently, clearly excessively frightened.

“It’s okay, as long as you are fine.” Ye Xingguang was also cold.

Damn it, jumping into water in the dead of winter, she could freeze to death, but the act had to be played out.

Nearby, Xia Wealth was furious as thunder, “You are not Qiongqiong? You are not my daughter?”

“Did I ever say I was your daughter?” Ye Xingguang suddenly shivered.

From the side, Ye Jun Qing furrowed his brows tightly, quickly took off his black coat and wrapped her tightly, looking down, his dangerous eyes gave her a warning glare. Was this girl’s way of proving she wasn’t Xia Qiongqiong what she had suggested? What if she caught a cold?

Ye Xingguang, unable to bear her husband’s fury, sneered at the furiously angry Xia Wealth, “Those questions earlier, I asked them on behalf of Xia Qiongqiong! In your family, apart from Xia Ye Zhao who truly cares about her and treats her like family, who else cares whether she lives or dies? And now you still have the nerve to want to acknowledge her back into the family?”
