"Yuqing, what are you doing? Come down quickly, don't scare me..."
Huang Rong watched his daughter standing on the railing, his legs going weak, his whole body trembling, his heart about to leap out of his chest. He pleaded, "I know you're upset, but you can't be so reckless. If you jump, what will happen to your dad..."
"Yuqing, don't do anything foolish. It's not worth it for that scumbag!"
Jiang Peipei said as she walked over, "Come down quickly, we can talk about anything..."
"Peipei, don't come any closer!"
Huang Yuqing, standing above, called out in an unusually calm voice.
As she turned her head, her left cheek and the area below her neck were revealed to be badly scarred, as if from a fire. The terrifying marks completely ruined her naturally beautiful face.
This sight stunned Fang Yanxi. She covered her lips with her hand, her eyes wide with disbelief as she looked at Huang Yuqing's current state. She knew Huang Yuqing had been very beautiful before, so how could this have happened?
Wan Yunting was also surprised. The burn scars on Huang Yuqing's left cheek and neck were clearly from a fire, but from what Jiang Peipei had said, it seemed she wasn't jumping because of her disfigurement.
"Alright, alright, Yuqing, don't get agitated. I won't come closer..."
Jiang Peipei still wanted to go up and pull her back. Seeing the despair in Huang Yuqing's eyes, she knew she would jump without hesitation.
"Yuqing, listen to your dad..."
So, teacher Huang Rong cautiously took two steps forward and began to dissuade and plead with his daughter not to jump.
But Wan Yunting saw the despair in Huang Yuqing's eyes, as if her heart had already died.
Therefore, she showed no emotion or fear towards death.
"What happened to teacher Huang's daughter's face with those burn scars?" Fang Yanxi asked Jiang Peipei.
She replied, "A while ago, Yuqing went to a restaurant to eat, and there was a gas explosion. So, she was burned and scarred on her face. Originally, she was already desperate because she became ugly."
"But then her fiancé, whom she had just registered her marriage with and was about to hold a wedding, insisted on divorcing her because her face was scarred and she had become ugly!"
"This devastated Yuqing. She couldn't accept this reality, so her emotions have become increasingly unstable these past two days. Yesterday, she even tried to cut her wrists at home, but luckily, teacher Huang discovered her in time and stopped her. But who would have thought she'd try to jump today..."
Wan Yunting raised his eyebrows, puzzled. Why was teacher Huang's daughter the same as the "Sister Qing" that Ke'er had mentioned to him a few days ago?
Could it be the same person!
"Yuqing, Dad is begging you, come down quickly. Don't scare me, okay..." Huang Rong pleaded with his daughter on the rooftop.
He only had this one daughter. His wife had passed away from cancer years ago. If anything happened to his daughter, he wouldn't know how to face his deceased wife.
Huang Yuqing, standing on the railing, looked at her father. With a look of despair, she calmly said, "Dad, I'm sorry, your unfilial daughter..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she resolutely fell forward.
"No..."
"Ah..."
Huang Rong screamed in terror, the surrounding teachers also screamed, and the students watching from below screamed and scattered...
But in an instant, Fang Yanxi's long hair was lifted by a gust of wind...
Wan Yunting shot out like an arrow. As Huang Yuqing fell, he didn't hesitate to jump out with her. In a flash, Huang Yuqing felt herself being tightly held by a strong hand. When she opened her eyes, she saw a handsome face with a serious expression, which stunned her.
In that instant, without giving anyone a chance to think, Wan Yunting reacted swiftly. The moment he grabbed Huang Yuqing, he had already made his move. Seeing a window security grate, he reached out with his left hand and grabbed it firmly. Right below their feet was an air conditioning unit.
"Yun Ting..."
Fang Yanxi and Jiang Peipei on the rooftop only reacted when Wan Yunting jumped down with Huang Yuqing. Their hearts felt like they were being clutched tightly. Fang Yanxi's beautiful face was filled with panic, and she quickly ran to the railing to look down...
Jiang Peipei, Huang Rong, and the other teachers saw that on the security grate of a window on the fourth floor below, Wan Yunting was holding Huang Yuqing tightly, their feet on the air conditioning unit, and they hadn't fallen further.
"Oh my god, look..."
Some female students below had already covered their eyes, their minds conjuring images of a human body hitting the ground. But after ten seconds, there was no sound.
As others exclaimed, they opened their eyes and looked up. Seeing the two people firmly gripping the security grate and standing on the air conditioning unit, the students immediately took out their phones to record...
"We're fine."
Wan Yunting looked up and shouted to Fang Yanxi and the others above.
"Phew, you really scared me to death..."
Jiang Peipei breathed a sigh of relief. It was bad enough that Huang Yuqing jumped, but for Wan Yunting to follow her was truly terrifying for everyone.
However, seeing Wan Yunting save Huang Yuqing, while others gasped, teacher Huang Rong exclaimed excitedly, "Good, good, Yun Ting, hold Yuqing tightly. I'll contact the fire department to rescue you now..."
In fact, the fire department was already on their way and entering the school grounds.
"Why did you save me?"
Huang Yuqing, pressed against Wan Yunting, couldn't fail to recognize this man. After so many years, this was their first meeting, and it was under such circumstances.
"Yuqing, I heard from Peipei. I sympathize with your situation."
Wan Yunting looked at the terrifying burn scars on Huang Yuqing's face and said, "But I still want to ask, why did you choose to give up on yourself? Is it because of your disfigurement? Or because of your fiancé?"
"Don't mention that man to me!"
Huang Yuqing said emotionally.
"Okay, I know. Please don't move, alright?"
Wan Yunting quickly comforted her, "Actually, the burn scars on your face can be treated!"
Huang Yuqing showed a pained expression, "What's the point? I've given up on him."
"Then you should think about your dad!"
Seeing that she still intended to end her life, Wan Yunting reprimanded her sternly, "Do you want teacher Huang to outlive his own child?"
His words rendered Huang Yuqing speechless and also touched on her deepest pain.
The fire truck was already below, and rescue operations were underway, with the two people hanging on the security grate above...
"Think about it yourself."
Seeing the firefighters extend their aerial ladder, the two firefighters standing above looked at Wan Yunting firmly holding the person and the security grate, standing on the air conditioning unit. "Teacher, you're amazing."
Wan Yunting, mistaken for a teacher, didn't say much. He asked them to take Huang Yuqing up first, then he went up, and finally, the aerial ladder slowly retracted and lowered. The two firefighters took Huang Yuqing to the ground, and Wan Yunting jumped down as well.
"Yun Ting, are you alright..."
Fang Yanxi, Jiang Peipei, and Huang Rong were already on the ground.
"I'm fine."
Wan Yunting shook his head and smiled. Then, Huang Rong slapped Huang Yuqing hard across her face. "Do you know how dangerous that was? Even if you wanted to die, don't involve others. Are you trying to anger me to death?"
Huang Yuqing lowered her head, tears streaming down her face like pearls. Her body trembled. The scene was heartbreaking, and the surrounding teachers and students felt deep sympathy for her.
After all, experiencing disfigurement and being jilted by her fiancé, anyone would be unable to bear such a devastating blow...
"Teacher Huang, please calm down."
Wan Yunting quickly held back the angry teacher Huang. Fang Yanxi and Jiang Peipei also rushed to comfort Huang Yuqing.
"Let's disperse, disperse..."
The other teachers also began to send away the students who were watching.
However, the scene of Wan Yunting's rescue had been filmed by the students and uploaded directly to some platforms...
After seeing off the fire department, Wan Yunting, Fang Yanxi, and Jiang Peipei followed the Huang father and daughter back to their dormitory at the school. Huang Yuqing was also a teacher at the school.
"Wuwu, her mother died early. If anything happened to her, how could I explain it to her mother..."
As he spoke, teacher Huang himself burst into tears. Huang Yuqing was also crying in her room, with Jiang Peipei comforting her inside. Wan Yunting and Fang Yanxi comforted Huang Rong.
"Yun Ting, Yan Xi, I apologize. Teacher has lost composure."
Huang Rong, having calmed down, quickly stood up and poured them water. Wan Yunting and Fang Yanxi replied, "Teacher Huang, cosmetic surgery technology is so advanced now, why don't you let Yuqing have surgery to repair the scars?"
"I did ask her to go, but that bastard Cui Zhi refused. He said it would cost seven to eight hundred thousand, or even more, to repair Yuqing's burn scars, and there was no guarantee of restoring her original appearance. That's why that bastard broke off the engagement."
Huang Rong said with anger and helplessness, "Yuqing couldn't bear this blow, so she's been wanting to end her life these past two days."
Wan Yunting and Fang Yanxi exchanged glances. They both sighed with helplessness upon hearing this.
Then he asked, "Teacher Huang, was Yuqing treated at the Southern Hospital for her burns?"
"Yes."
Huang Rong nodded. "She was discharged just a few days ago."
Wan Yunting nodded. It seemed that the "Sister Qing" Ke'er mentioned was indeed her!
