Chapter 249: Chapter 253 A Request (1)

This was absolutely intolerable, having both her face and ankle hurt!

Since it wasn’t a time of emergency anymore, it was time for her to settle accounts after the autumn harvest!

"Who was it? Who pushed me to the ground in their desperation to escape! What if there had been a stampede! That person has no sense of public morality at all! Who is it, stand out for me!"

"Well said!" Amidst the silence, only Ling Yichuan’s lips curled into a smile, with a hint of amusement in his peach blossom eyes.

Jiang Xuanqi felt extremely proud, as though she had strong backing, seeing that the yacht owner—the young master of the Ling Consortium—agreed with her. Pretending to lean against the lifeboat’s rail in a delicate and pitiable manner, she said, "That person is simply abominable! If I had been left behind like that, it would have cost a life!"

But Ling Yichuan just laughed, "Miss Jiang, who pushed you, I did not see, but I did see you pushing Jian’s assistant, almost causing her to fall!"

He even added insult to injury, "If she had been pushed down by you, and there had been a stampede, what then? If she had been left behind like that, it would have been a life lost! That’s truly lacking a sense of public morality!"

Although they were beginning to doubt Jian Anning, she was still Yu Zexiao’s assistant. Naturally, she was on their side.

With that, the entire ship burst into laughter, all eyes turning to Jiang Xuanqi!

Jiang Xuanqi’s face turned a sudden shade of red! She didn’t feel remorse when pushing someone herself, but couldn’t stand it at all when she was pushed! Besides, she was probably thinking—who was she, to be compared with Jian Anning? She was just an assistant, while she herself was a star renowned throughout Huaxia!

Of course, those were words she could not say out loud. After all, especially in front of outsiders—let alone in front of members of prestigious families like Ling Yichuan, Ling Yinuo, Qin Xian, and in front of CEOs like Leng Yunlin of Huangting Entertainment—she definitely could not speak such words.

These people never took her into consideration; they could say whatever they wanted and leak it to the media within minutes.

But now, because of what just happened, she was unable to pursue accountability for being pushed. Jiang Xuanqi could only step aside and sulk.

Meanwhile, Jian Anning had steadied herself early on and had already come out from Yu Zexiao’s embrace. Calmly standing to one side, Yu Zexiao looked around, "Since there’s no issue, I’ll go in to rest. Call me when the rescue ship arrives."

Then, without paying further attention to the chaotic crowd, he turned and walked to the nearby restaurant. Finding a sofa near the door, he sat down, leaning his long body comfortably against the back with his legs crossed, looking utterly at ease.

Due to the recent commotion, the restaurant was empty. Even though the others had heard there was no danger, they still stayed on deck just in case a bigger crisis occurred and they needed to escape quickly.

Jian Anning followed him in.

This time, she was truly grateful to Yu Zexiao.

Even though it turned out to be a false alarm this time, in that critical moment, it was indeed Yu Zexiao who grabbed her hand and helped her. No one knew whether the incident could have turned into a major accident—saying he had saved her life was not an overstatement.

And later, when Jiang Xuanqi pushed her away, it was Yu Zexiao who steadied her again.
