Chapter 72 Stop pretending, I won't be fooled again

n listened to her business-like tone. The words he had wanted to say reached his lips, then went back down.Lu Wanwan was already grateful that he didn't kick her out. How could she possibly dawdle She...: ]

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

Evening, Li Family.

Lu Wanwan was just about to step through the front door when she suddenly heard a arrogant voice from beside her: Hey, stupid woman, come here!

She glanced sideways and saw Li Xu Yang standing by the artificial lake, his big cat eyes fixed on her.

The next second, she withdrew her gaze and ignored him.

Li Xuyang instantly became furious and stomped his feet: "Hey, I told you to stand still! Did you hear me!"

Lu Wanwan said faintly: Until you learn to use polite language, I won't pay attention to you.

Seeing that she was about to enter, Li Xuanyang gritted his teeth and said reluctantly: "My heart locket is broken, would you please help me pick it up"

Lu Wanwan turned her head and took a closer look. She found that something had fallen onto the frozen artificial lake, glittering in the sunlight.

But she didn't rush over, instead asking: Don't you have hands, no tools

Li Xuyang said angrily: My hands aren't long enough, even with tools I can't reach!

Lu Wanwan asked again: How could something so important fall there

Li Xuyang's eyes flickered: You mind

Lu Wanwan frowned: "Why don't you let other people in your family help you pick it up"

They're deep cleaning, their hands are filthy, who do they think they are to touch my things

Even with a deliberate attempt at softening his tone, Li Xuanyang couldn't hide the arrogance ingrained in his bones: "I'm letting you help me because I'm giving you face. Don't make things awkward. Come over and lend a hand!"

Lu Wanwan found him strange and eccentric, suddenly wanting to see what he was up to.

As she walked past, she snapped off a withered branch beside her and crouched down to reach for his locket when Li Xuyang quietly crept up behind her, ready to push her down and make her eat dirt.

Humph, stupid woman, you dared to bully me!

As a result, Lu Wanwan though facing away from him, kept her ears pricked for any sound behind her.

When she heard Li Xuanyang's footsteps getting closer, she immediately dodged to the side. He suddenly fell into the air and landed hard on the icy lake surface.

This isn't over yet. When Li Xu Yang was struggling to climb up from the ice surface, two cracks suddenly sounded! The ice surface actually cracked open!

With a sound of "Boom!", Li Xu Yang immediately fell into the lake.

Lu Wanwan then stood up and watched him splashing in the lake.

From the very beginning, she sensed something was amiss with him. Who would throw their locket into the middle of a lake She just resented his youth and his immature methods, he looked like a naive young master who had never been through the harsh realities of society.

The next second, Lu Wanwan saw her shoes being splashed by the water and couldn't help but take a step back.

She disliked this bone-chilling feeling, as it brought back unpleasant memories from when she got lost as a child.

Li Xuyang, after gulping down several mouthfuls of ice water, cried out in panic: "Help, save me! I can't swim!"

Stop pretending, I won't be fooled again. After saying that, Lu Wanwan turned and left.

Li Xuyang thought that once there were no spectators, he would quickly climb up. Unexpectedly, when she turned back again, she found that he was still struggling in the lake, only the water splashes were smaller than before.

Her eyes narrowed, and she instantly burst through the door, shouting to the maids who were busy cleaning inside: "Help! Your young master has fallen into the artificial lake!"

At once, the servants dropped their tools and followed Lu Wanwan to the artificial lake.

Who among you can swim Lu Wanwan followed up.

The hired hands shook their heads in bewilderment: "I won't!"

I won't either!

Seeing Li Xuoyang about to sink, Lu Wanwan gritted her teeth, raised her hand and took off her coat, diving headfirst into the artificial lake.

Although this little imp is annoying, she can't just stand by and watch a young, vibrant life slip away.

This scene, unintentionally caught in Li Jingchen's eyes on the second floor, suddenly caused his pupils to constrict and his heart to race. Does she know what she's doing!

Meanwhile

Already nearly unconscious, Li XuYang saw a slender figure drifting towards him before closing his eyes.

That figure looked incredibly agile, its long hair spread out like seaweed, like a mermaid. But she wasn't a mermaid, she was Medusa, a man-eating Gorgon.

However, just then Medusa grabbed his wrist, circled around him, and lifted him out of the icy lake.

Seeing Lu Wanwan and Li Xuanyang emerge, the servants were almost overjoyed with tears: Wonderful! The young mistress saved the young master!

However, Lu Wanwan's face changed color at this moment. Damn it! She didn't warm up before going into the water, resulting in a cramp in her right leg!

What was most worrisome was that Li Xu Yang, wearing his thick cotton coat, became especially heavy after getting wet. Combined with his own weight, Lu Wan Wan felt like she could be dragged down at any moment.

Fortunately, the maids promptly handed her a clothesline. Lu Wanwan grabbed it as she was pulled towards the lakeside by them with all their might.

She lowered her head to look at the unconscious Li Xu Yang, his face pale as death. She told the servants: Take him upstairs first!

Yes! At this moment, the maids were genuinely admiring Lu Wanwan. Naturally, they would do whatever she said.

After Li XuYang was dragged up, Lu WanWan only managed to follow with a gritted teeth despite the cramps in her legs. But before she could catch her breath, she heard the servants say

The young master has asthma! He hasn't had an attack in the past two years, but I wonder if it will relapse after this near-drowning incident!

If the young master gets into trouble, we're dead! The mistress won't let us off.

Does Li Xuyang have a history of asthma

Lu Wanwan couldn't help but frown and ask: "Who among you knows how to perform CPR"

A group of people shook their heads again. Even if someone knew how, they wouldn't dare to take the risk at this moment. What if no one came back Wouldn't they have to bear all the responsibility It's better to spread the responsibility among everyone, so they could suffer a little less.

Lu Wanwan sighed, then without hesitation, she grabbed hold of Li Xuyang's nostrils with one hand and lifted his jaw with the other. She leaned down and began to give him artificial respiration.

During the process, she kept telling herself that no matter if the other party was a 14-year-old boy, even a 24-year-old adult male, she had to save him!

After an unknown amount of time, Li Xu Yang suddenly turned his head and spat out several mouthfuls of saliva. His small face was wet and wrinkled with pain.

Seeing that he was showing signs of waking up, Lu Wanwan's nerves relaxed. Luckily, the kind and benevolent headmistress had taught her how to perform CPR before.

The next second, she wiped her lips with the back of her hand and staggered to her feet, asking: Where is your wife

One of the servants immediately said: "Madam went to play mahjong, and Zhou the butler accompanied her!"

Remember to call and inform her about this. Also, Li Xuyang is left in your care. After saying that, Lu Wanwan pushed past them and walked out.

Her right leg, which had been able to draw strength from the exertion, suddenly went limp, causing her to stumble.

Seeing this, the servants quickly rushed to her aid: "Madam Second Mistress, are you alright!"

Just then, a low and somewhat suppressed voice came from behind the crowd: What are you doing

Someone turned back and saw that it was Li Jingchen, stumbling over their words: "Big... Big Young Master, it's the Eldest Missus, she..."

Lu Wanwan brushed off the matter, then spoke to interrupt: "I'm fine. But Mr. Li, how did you come out"

Li Jingchen saw that her face was whiter than snow, and her whole body trembled like a sieve, but she refused to tell him anything. After clenching his jaw tightly, he said expressionlessly: "Take a walk."It's you who lost me when I was a child! If it were possible, Lu Wanwan really wouldn't want to recall that past: after I developed autism, did you ever show me any care You just rushed to send me out...
