After understanding animal language, the villainous girl is guaranteed to become a heartthrob.

Chapter 381 "Can you please stop lying to me?"

Jiang Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and her body began to fall uncontrollably. In her panic, she managed to grab the railing with one hand.

"what--"

The feeling of weightlessness made her unable to help but let out a scream from her throat.

"Jiang Yuan?" Si Heng and his group had already arrived downstairs. Upon seeing this scene, the three of them felt their hearts leap into their throats.

"Hold on!" Si Heng said, then strode upstairs.

Meng Xiaokai turned to Chen Ziqi and said, "I'll go up and help. You stay here and keep an eye on things."

“Okay!” Chen Ziqi immediately agreed.

Jiang Yuan gasped for breath, never imagining that the deadly scenes in movies would happen to her.

The rain was still falling, and Mary and several small birds were chirping frantically.

"Danger! Danger!"

"How to do how to do?"

"..."

Jiang Yuan felt extremely painful; her hand, which had just been rubbed raw by the stone, was throbbing with pain.

What should I do? I feel like I can't hold on much longer...

Just when Jiang Yuan thought she was going to die, the system's voice suddenly rang in her mind.

[System 009: Miss Jiang's life is in danger. Based on the situation, we have automatically spent 100 points to redeem a one-hour Super Strongman prop card for you.]

As these words echoed in her mind, Jiang Yuan suddenly felt a magical power gradually filling her limbs and bones.

The hands gripping the railing, the hands clenching Zeng Shirui's ankles, seemed to have lost their strain.

She felt incredibly relaxed, and her breathing became steady.

"009, thank you," Jiang Yuan said.

[System 009: You're welcome, it's what I should do.]

Jiang Yuan felt that she had enough strength to pull Zeng Shirui up, but given her current situation, it would still be difficult to accomplish this.

Now that Si Heng and the others have arrived, let's wait for them to lend a hand.

Chen Ziqi shouted anxiously from the ground, "Jiang Yuan, hang in there a little longer, Boss and Xiao Kai have already gone up."

“Okay.” Jiang Yuan said loudly, “Don’t worry, I can hold on for a little while longer.”

"Jiang Yuan, well done!" Chen Ziqi encouraged.

Zeng Shirui was suspended in mid-air, feeling extremely uncomfortable. "Let me go!"

"If I let you go, you're dead," Jiang Yuan said coldly. "Don't move."

"Who exactly are you?" Zeng Shirui's tone was full of hostility. "Why are you interrupting my meeting with Brother Shuo?"

"Brother Shuo?" Jiang Yuan felt her eyes stinging from the rain, so she closed them. "Was it him who tricked you into running away from home?"

"Don't worry about me!" Zeng Shirui shook her foot, which was being tightly gripped, forcefully. "Let go of me right now!"

Chen Ziqi recorded the scene on his phone. Seeing Zeng Shirui struggling, he couldn't help but clench his teeth, his anger surging in his chest.

This girl is really... infuriating!
Jiang Yuan risked his life to save her, yet she acted like a clueless fool!

"Stop moving!" Chen Ziqi roared, barely containing his anger. "Do you want to die? There's no Brother Shuo here!"

"Jiang Yuan." Si Heng grasped Jiang Yuan's arm, which was gripping the railing, and comforted her, panting, "Don't be afraid, it's alright now."

"It's okay, I'm not afraid," Jiang Yuan replied with a smile.

Si Heng and Meng Xiaokai pulled her up first. Zeng Shirui struggled as they pulled her up, yelling, "Who are you? Let me go! I want to find Brother Shuo!"

The rain gradually turned into a light drizzle, drifting down little by little.

Jiang Yuan looked down at her arm, which was chafed raw by the railing, and frowned slightly.

Si Heng and Meng Xiaokai struggled to pull Zeng Shirui up, but she turned around and clung to the railing again, ready to jump.

"I'm going to see Brother Shuo. He promised to see me and never be separated from me."

Meng Xiaokai quickly pinned her hands to the ground, handcuffing them behind her back, and said angrily, "Are you done yet? Didn't you see that Jiang Yuan almost died saving you just now?"

"Did I ask you to save me?" Zeng Shirui said ungratefully. "You'll make it so I'll never see Brother Shuo again!"

She struggled desperately, but it was no use; Meng Xiaokai held her down firmly.

Jiang Yuan knelt down in front of her and asked coldly, "Who is Brother Shuo?"

"I'm not telling you." Zeng Shirui glared at her.

Jiang Yuan was about to say something when she felt a slight itch in her nasal cavity and couldn't help but sneeze.

"Ha Qiu——"

Si Heng looked down at her, his deep eyes filled with worry, "Will you catch a cold?"

"I'm not sure." Jiang Yuan raised her hand to smooth her wet hair. "It's a bit cold."

Si Heng frowned and said, "I'll have Ziqi take you back first."

“Okay.” Jiang Yuan nodded, and just as she stood up, Chen Ziqi came up, followed by a middle-aged couple.

These two people are likely Zeng Shirui's parents.

Sure enough, they quickly walked up to Zeng Shirui, holding umbrellas.

"Shirui, you've made your mother so worried." Zeng's mother knelt down in front of her daughter, her face full of worry and heartache.

Zeng Shirui frowned deeply and shouted, "What are you doing here? Get out of here, don't disturb my meeting with Brother Shuo!"

"What Brother Shuo?" Mother Zeng pressed. "Was it him who told you to run away from home?"

Zeng Shirui said impatiently, "Can you guys stop talking nonsense! Brother Shuo never asked me to run away from home! Besides, I'm already seventeen years old, so leave me alone!"

Mother Zeng's eyes were red and filled with tears. "Shirui, you're only seventeen years old. You're not even an adult yet. How can your father and I not care about you? Besides, whether you're twenty-seven or thirty-seven, you'll always be your father and mother's most beloved child."

"I..." Zeng Shirui choked up, then suddenly closed her eyes in pain, "Can you please stop lying to me? Can you please stop pretending to care about me?"

Jiang Yuan, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped in her tracks upon hearing this.

"Wait a moment before you leave," she said to Chen Ziqi.

"Okay." Chen Ziqi nodded.

Looking at her daughter with a puzzled expression, Zeng's mother asked, "Shirui, what are you saying? When have your father and mother ever lied to you?"

"You said I was your favorite child." Zeng Shirui's eyes gradually reddened. "It's a lie! You're deceiving me!"

“How could this be a lie?” Mother Zeng frowned in confusion. “Shi Rui, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

Zeng Shirui's tone was tinged with grievance, "How could you not understand? You're just pretending not to understand."

Mrs. Zeng looked up and exchanged a glance with Mr. Zeng, then asked helplessly, "Shirui, could you please explain yourself more clearly?"

“You clearly don’t love me, yet you keep saying I’m your most beloved child.” Zeng Shirui’s voice was choked with sobs. “You and Dad have always… always regretted having me.”

Mrs. Zeng's expression suddenly changed, and she said sternly, "Shirui, how can you talk such nonsense? Your father and I have never regretted having you!"

"It's fake!" Zeng Shirui suddenly became agitated. "It's all fake! You and Dad clearly said that it would be better if Shirui were a boy!"
