Chapter 47: An Heiress As His Chauffeur

Wu Yin's eyes flared with fury. She was thoroughly enraged. With her status, she rarely found herself in compromising situations. She did not even trouble Wang Xuan today, but the audacity he had to raise his hand, or rather, his leg against her was unforgivable. It made her seethe with anger.

Moreover, a throbbing pain lingered in her buttocks, testant to the intensity of that kick. It had been so forceful that she almost let out a yelp at the mont of impact. By nature, she was quick-tempered. As she simred in her anger, her chest heaved rapidly. She was itching to imdiately swim to the shore and settle scores with the man responsible.

Yet, she dared not move. Her long skirt was completely soaked, clinging tightly to her body. Given her striking silhouette, stepping ashore would undeniably make her the center of attention. Using her long hair to shield her face out of fear of being photographed, she felt the cold creep in, amplified by the late autumn season. Between the cold and her indignation, she could only clench her teeth in frustration.

Elsewhere, the actress was far less composed. Upon landing in the lake, she let out a piercing scream. This experience was nothing short of a nightmare for her. This caused her to gulp down water in panic. Fortunately, the bodyguards who had fallen into the lake with her were dedicated to her safety. Among the group, a few female bodyguards swiftly swam towards her, ensuring she didn’t drown. However, her makeup was completely ruined.

Witnessing the scene, Wu Yin's assistant refrained from acting rashly, fearing she too would be kicked into the water. Instead, she quickly dialed a number, seeking assistance from the shore. A bodyguard tried to climb ashore, but the onlookers jeered and kicked him back into the water. Seeing this, the other bodyguards stayed away from the shore as well.

"Everyone, step back! We need to rescue those in the water. They might catch a cold if they stay in there,” Wang Xuan called out, not wanting the situation to escalate. He felt it would be best to let them climb out first.

One after another, the black-clad bodyguards made their way to the shore, noticeably more subdued and not pushing around the onlookers anymore, instead assisting their comrades out of the water.

"Da Wu, let

help you up!" Wang Xuan shouted to Wu Yin. Acting in the spirit of kindness and believing that it's better to reconcile than feud, he reached out, offering to help Wu Yin up.

Thoughtfully, he avoided using her full na, knowing her background as part of a prominent family, and thus a sensitive topic. Wu Yin remained unmoved. After hearing him address her with the prefix 'Da'[1], her eyes ignited even more fiercely. She felt no warmth or care from his attempt at assistance. On the contrary, she believed that he was deliberately mocking her, probably in retaliation for her previous overreactions.

Noticing her lack of response and how she hung her head low, using strands of hair to shield her face - reminiscent of an ostrich burying its head - Wang Xuan decided not to bother further. After all, they were re acquaintances. Wu Yin, sensing his gaze, felt he was doing it intentionally with the intention of witnessing the embarrassing sight of her drenched skirt clinging to her figure.

A woman in her thirties hurriedly approached the young girl beside Wang Xuan. Tears stained her face as she spoke with a shaky voice, "Lei Lei!"

"Mommy!" the little girl exclaid joyfully.

The crowd had been so dense earlier, and the chaos caused by the bodyguards resulted in the mother and daughter being separated. Seeing this, Wang Xuan promptly handed the little girl over to the woman. The mother, voice quivering with relief and gratitude, tightly embraced her daughter.

Just then, a man in his fifties approached, flanked by several individuals. Wang Xuan imdiately grew wary, for the people accompanying the older man were no ordinary individuals.

"Little Yin, what happened to you?" he asked.

"Uncle, I was pushed into the water," Wu Yin inford him, her gaze shifting to Wang Xuan.

Wang Xuan sighed internally. Old Chen is a bit slow. Why isn't he here yet? He had not thought of leaving earlier, and with things as they were, he would not leave. Instead, he calmly stepped forward. Portraying himself as a concerned bystander, he took the initiative to explain to the middle-aged man. "That actress caused a scene. She was blocking the way of the pedestrians here. Her bodyguards even nearly pushed onlookers into the lake."

"It's absolutely disgraceful!" Wang Xuan shook his head, adding, "Even after causing such a scene, the actress had the audacity to whisper that she knew one of the victims in the lake. It's simply..."

The middle-aged man in his fifties was nad Wu Chenglin, and he was indeed Wu Yin's uncle. Being an astute individual, he instantly grasped that this young man, Wang Xuan, might be telling a sowhat embellished version of events.

"Do the two of them really know each other?" Wang Xuan asked, pointing at Wu Yin in the water, the so-called "victim
