Chapter 32: Chapter 32 Pushed into the Water Chapter 32: Chapter 32 Pushed into the Water The damage was indeed the same as on Ding Dani’s dress.
The extent of the tear was hardly any different.
Ding Dani fell into the water.
The cold water shocked her into awareness as she flailed about, looking up, her eyes met Chiang Xiao’s.
At that moment, Chiang Xiao’s face was heavy with anger, her large pupils filled with a cold and mocking light that made Ding Dani’s heart tremble with fear.
She had never seen Chiang Xiao before!
“Da Ni, Da Ni!” Guiying hurriedly called out as she ran over and forcefully pushed Chiang Xiao, causing her to fall to the ground.
Secretary Yao called out sternly, “Ah Cong, Weimin, quick, save her!”
Yao Cong and Cong Weimin didn’t dare delay and jumped down in two to three leaps, rescuring Ding Dani.
In Siyang Village, a mountain village , the temperature difference between day and night is quite significant. It’s still early now, the sun hasn’t risen to its full power, and the water of Nameless Creek is bone-chillingly cold. Ding Dani was soaked through, trembling from the cold, and in just a short amount of time, her face turned deathly pale.
Of course, part of it was due to shock.
“Damn it, my poor Da Ni!” Guiying hugged her daughter and began to wail loudly again, “Chiang Xiao, that vile young lady, did it on purpose, she did it for revenge!”
“Auntie Guiying, I’m so sorry. I just wanted to reenact what happened that day. I didn’t expect that Ding Dani would react just like I did back then…” Chiang Xiao sat on the ground, looking up pitifully, “That’s how it happened. Da Ni was just too honest—why did she go along with reenacting the part where she gets pushed into the water? I thought she would dodge.”
So, it wasn’t me who deliberately pushed her in. I was just reenacting Ding Dani’s actions from that day.
So, Ding Dani also fell in because she wanted to do a realistic reenactment; it was her own doing.
After all, she had said it before, that she would play Ding Dani, and Ding Dani would play her.
But Ding Dani, I had said that I would get you in the water too, and I keep my word.
Guiying, furious, let go of Ding Dani and lunged forward, attempting to slap Chiang Xiao, “It was you who pushed her! You heartless little wretch, I’ll kill you! I’ll make you pay for harming my Da Ni!”
Her hand was blocked by Secretary Yao just before it could strike Chiang Xiao’s face.
“Enough!” Secretary Yao shouted, “If this goes on, you’ll all be taken to the militia building!”
Guiying immediately shrank back.
Ding Daqiang glared bitterly at Chiang Xiao.
Ge Liutao and Chiang Songhai also ran over, helping Chiang Xiao up from both sides.
“Little, are you okay? Did the fall hurt you?”
Chiang Songhai glanced at her torn top, noting she was wearing another underneath, so there was no real harm. He glared furiously at Ding Dani, “Now we finally understand what actually happened that day! Ding Dani, what do you have to say for yourself?”
The truth was plainly evident.
The villagers present all pointed and murmured about Ding Dani.
Ding Dani was completely soaked, and the mountain breeze made her teeth chatter from the cold. Her clothes clung to her body, revealing her curves, which caused her great embarrassment.
A thirteen-year-old girl who often did physical work was nearly grown, and this sight caught the attention of the loafers who had come to watch the commotion.
These malicious gazes filled Ding Dani with humiliation and anger.
She could only hug her chest tightly and hide behind Guiying, but this made Secretary Yao and the others think she was admitting guilt by acting so evasive. They were convinced that the events did indeed happen this way.
“This is outrageous! Ding Dani, how can a young girl like you be so calculating? Apologize to the Chiang Family’s Young Lady! And you, Ding Daqiang, Guiying, how dare you go to Uncle Songhai’s house demanding compensation?” Secretary Yao was also very annoyed.
