“It’s very simple. Let’s bet on who Wei Zhou will save first if both of us fall into the water at the same time. What do you think?” Guan Yutong said indifferently.

“It’s rather pointless. Wei Zhou and I are already divorced, so there’s absolutely no need for you to contest against me,” Su Yan rejected simply. She ignored Guan Yutong and bent down to pick up her shoes.

Guan Yutong sneered and suddenly shoved at Su Yan’s back. “It’s not up to you whether you are up for it!”

“Ah!” Su Yan cried out as she fell into the pool in front of her. As the space in the exhibition hall was relatively small, the organizers had used the open-air pool and its surroundings as a resting area.

Su Yan’s face was filled with inexplicable shock after falling into the water. She never expected that Guan Yutong would push her into the water. It was no different from murder.

There was a big splash as Su Yan landed in the water.

“Splash!” Another splash sounded as Guan Yutong jumped into the pool too.

“Look, someone fell into the water!”

“Oh my God, what happened? Hurry, save them!”

“Quick, get the security guards! Otherwise someone might die!”

…

The two loud splashing sounds had attracted everyone’s attention. Many people began to run towards the pool.

“Someone, Help! Oh… I don’t know how to swim…” Guan Yutong waved her arms around frantically and cried out for help dramatically. She had done an excellent job at acting with that panic-stricken look on her face.

Underwater, Su Yan snapped out of her shock. When she went overseas on her latest trip, not only did she learn how to swim, but she had also learned how to dive. After calming down the panic in her heart, she swam towards the shore with proper strokes.

Just as she was about to reach the side of the pool, a figure appeared in her field of vision. Her ex-husband, Wei Zhou, had arrived. Su Yan looked at him from under the water. Wei Zhou’s figure was distorted by the ripples of the water, however, he watched her with an extremely cold gaze.

“Hua!” Su Yan emerged from the water and got out of the pool with the aid of the handrail. She wiped away the water on her face and her gaze collided with Wei Zhou. They looked at each other speechlessly, but it seemed like a lot of things were said. Su Yan turned around and patted her back before leaving, dripping with water.

“Su Yan, stop right there!” Wei Shani appeared and stopped Su Yan.

Many people’s imaginations went wild on sending this scene. As a result, all sort of b*tch-fight scenes were spread among the crowd. However, Su Yan always played the villain in every version.

Guan Yutong, who could actually swim, was pulled onto the shore with the help of the crowd. Her hair was disheveled and her entire body was drenched. She was in a very sorry state. Her eyes were red as she looked at Wei Zhou and walked towards Su Yan.

“Miss Su, we have no enmity between us. How have I offended you? Why did you push me into the water?” Guan Yutong asked pitifully. She even acted as if she was afraid of Su Yan.

Su Yan almost applauded Guan Yutong for her exceptional acting skills in front of everyone. Her expressions and emotions were very well portrayed and nuanced. If they didn’t share such a relationship, she would definitely poach Guan Yutong into the entertainment industry. Otherwise, it would be a loss for the entertainment industry.

“That’s right. Why did you push Sister Guan into the water? If I had not witnessed the entire process with my own eyes, I would not have believed that it was real. What you did was equivalent to murder!” Wei Shani testified, pinning a false blame on Su Yan.

Seeing that the two of them were in cahoots, the corners of Su Yan’s lips curled up. “I was the one who pushed her? Have you ever seen someone jump into the water after pushing someone else in?”

Su Yan’s words immediately had an effect. Many people looked at Wei Shani with doubt. If it was a deliberate push, it would be difficult for the person being pushed to fend against it. The only way to get the other party into the water was to react extremely quickly.

Wei Shani panicked when she realized that she could not keep up her lie. She caught sight of Wei Zhou from the corner of her eyes. It was as if she had found her savior.

“If everyone finds my words unbelievable, don’t tell me you can’t believe my brother. When Su Yan pushed my sister into the water, my brother was by the window. He must have seen it too,” Wei Shani said.

Everyone looked at Wei Zhou, waiting for his answer. Wei Zhou was the president of Excellent Era Group and one of the youngest persons in River City’s business world. With his status, he wouldn’t lie in public.

Under everyone’s gaze, Wei Zhou remained calm. Wei Shani was right. Even though he was standing rather far away, he had witnessed the entire process. However, he didn’t want to get involved in this mess. It’s not hard to imagine how he was feeling now that his “good” sister had dragged him into it.

“I didn’t see it!” Wei Zhou said. His tone was extremely cold and his face was gloomy. It was as if the pool was about to freeze.

“Brother Xiao Zhou, you…” Guan Yutong said aggrievedly as tears flowed down her cheeks.

Seeing this scene, everyone guessed that Wei Zhou must have witnessed it, but he was just protecting his ex-wife, Su Yan. After all, the two of them were husband and wife compared to Guan Yutong.. Guan Yutong was pushed into the pool because Su Yan could not move on from Wei Zhou, so she made a move on his new lover.
