Chapter 1352: Chapter 1352: Midnight Soul Departure (Part 1)
The commotion grew louder and louder, and other guests in the hotel lobby heard the noise and came to see what was happening. Ruan Jianguo, who was socializing with Shu Lang, vaguely heard something about a cat jumping into the lake and was shocked. When he rushed over, he saw Xiu Xi rising from the lake, holding the unresponsive Ruan Jiaojiao.
Both their faces changed drastically.
“What happened?” Ruan Jianguo ran over in big strides, pulled Xiu Xi up from the lake, and took a look at the unresponsive Ruan Jiaojiao in his hands, his legs almost giving way.
Xiu Xi said nothing; Ruan Jiaojiao had already choked on water and was unconscious. He laid her on the ground, and Qin Qiong immediately took off his coat and placed it on the ground for Ruan Jiaojiao to lie on.
Xiu Xi hadn’t learned first aid, but since Ruan Jiaojiao’s health had been poor and she had been hospitalized before, he had seen many emergency response tips on hospital bulletin boards. He didn’t know if they were applicable, but he had no choice but to try.
Ruan Jiaojiao’s belly was bloated, having swallowed a lot of water, and when he pressed, she vomited several mouthfuls of water.
While he was administering first aid, the Ruanlin Family and Shu Jiao heard the news and hurried over. Seeing Xiu Xi and Ruan Jiaojiao surrounded by people, both soaking wet, they almost fainted.
Ruan Jiaojiao kept vomiting mouthfuls of water, the water from her belly almost expelled, but she hadn’t awakened yet. Without hesitation, Xiu Xi pinched open her little mouth and started to blow air in, but as soon as his lips touched her little mouth, the owner of the little mouth opened her eyes.
Their eyes met.
Ruan Jiaojiao was dazed for a moment, blinked.
In the middle, she coughed up another two mouthfuls of water, meowing twice.
“Sweetie?” Ruanlin Family called gently.
Ruan Jiaojiao snapped back to reality, saw familiar faces, and tears immediately sprayed out, meowing in grievance.
She had just thought she was done for, really scared to death!
As Xiu Xi watched her wake up, his almost stopping heart returned to normal, and he gently held her in his arms, telling the approaching Ruanlin Family and Shu Jiao, “It’s okay now.”
However, as he said this, his gaze towards Jiang Bin, whose half face was swollen from being hit by Qin Qiong, was extremely cold.
Though still a young man, Jiang Bin was shiveringly chilled by that gaze, feeling a near-death sensation.
Qin Qiong’s parents didn’t understand why the Ruan Family cared so much about a kitten, but seeing their son valued it so much, they dared not delay. Qin Qiong’s father, Qin Shu, came over to disperse the guests, while Mu Tan led the Ruan Family to a private room.
Everyone had only seen the end and was left confused. Though curious inside, they didn’t discuss it in front of the hosts after being dispersed.
Most of the spectators had dispersed by now, and the Jiang Family members arrived late. Jiang Family’s eldest brother saw Jiang Bin with obvious signs of having been beaten, and his face turned a bit ugly.
In the past, Shu Wen and Jiang Bin had a relationship, which the Jiang Family only learned about after they separated.
To say, Shu Wen and Jiang Bin were considered well-matched, and Jiang Family’s eldest brother was grateful to the Ruan Family for helping him find his son, and actually approved of this marriage.
After knowing they separated, he even volunteered to mediate, but unfortunately, it was of no avail, and Shu Wen still broke up with Jiang Bin.
Two or three years passed without them paying attention, but recently after there were rumors of an alliance between the Shu Family and Qin Family, Jiang Bin’s mood became off, with an air of low pressure.
