On the night the Shanghai socialite accompanied the military officer, he broke his vow.

Chapter 117 Rescue
Song Jinyue and the others were on their way to the square when they heard someone calling for help.

"The sound is coming from over there."

Song Jinyue looked toward the source of the sound and immediately ran over with Fu Sinian.

"Let's go take a look."

After finishing speaking, Fifth Uncle took a big step.

"Mingming, Mingming, don't be afraid, Grandma is coming to save you!"

A woman in her fifties cried and was about to jump into the river to save her grandson.

This is a park where many people come for a stroll after lunch. The old lady's grandson, because he was playing, climbed onto the railing by the river, lost his grip, and fell into the river.

The river was too deep and the current was too strong. None of the people present could swim, so they could only watch with bated breath as Mingming struggled desperately after falling into the river.

"Auntie, the water is too deep, it's dangerous! Calm down!"

Passersby quickly grabbed her, fearing she might do something foolish and jump in.

"Let me go! Let me go! If my grandson is gone, I won't live anymore!"

"Help! Someone has fallen into the river!"

Several passersby tried to restrain the agitated elderly woman while desperately calling for help.

Just as the old woman was struggling and crying until her voice became hoarse, a figure ran past them, jumped over the railing, and jumped into the river.

"Look! Someone jumped!"

The others were stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed in surprise.

"Auntie, don't worry, your grandson will be alright."

Song Jinyue reassured him, gripping the railing with both hands, and looked anxiously at Fu Sinian, who was swimming towards the boy.

"Si Nian, be careful!"

She shouted a reminder and started looking around for something that could pull the person up. After searching for a while, she finally picked up a tree branch as thick as her arm and came over.

"Comrade, watch out!"

As passersby watched Fu Sinian swim toward the boy, their hearts clenched.

Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt and others arrived at the scene later, leaning on the railing and looking at Fu Sinian in the river with worried expressions.

The river was at a different elevation, and the little boy who fell in was submerged in the water, with only his hands struggling and flailing about.

However, the more he struggled, the more uncontrollably his body drifted downstream with the river.

Having choked on a lot of water, he gradually lost consciousness, and the splashing water became smaller and smaller.

"Mingming, Mingming!"

The old woman was so frightened by what she saw that she stopped breathing and screamed in anguish.

"Mingming, Mingming, don't leave Grandma behind, Grandma will come to be with you."

As she spoke, she tried to shake off the person next to her and jump into the river to be with her grandson.

"Auntie, calm down!"

The person next to her held her arm tightly, trying their best to stop her from having suicidal thoughts.

"Something terrible has happened! The man and the child have disappeared!"

Passersby who were standing in front of the railing watching the river saw that the lake had stopped moving and cried out in fright.

The already emotional woman fainted after hearing those words.

"Auntie, Auntie, wake up! Don't scare me!"

The passerby who was helping the old woman was startled by what he saw.

Hearing the commotion behind him, Song Jinyue quickly came over. "I'm a doctor, let me handle this."

She knelt down in front of the old woman, took her pulse, and learned that she had fainted due to excessive grief. She then provided her with some treatment.

"They've been rescued! Look, they've been rescued!"

"I was so scared! Thank goodness you're alright!"

Fu Sinian, who had dived into the river, swam towards the boy in one go. When he reached the boy, he grabbed him and used his other hand to propel himself towards the railing.

The elderly woman, who had been treated by Song Jinyue, regained consciousness. "Mingming, Mingming—"

Upon seeing her grandson being held in Fu Sinian's arms, the old woman suddenly stood up and rushed to the railing.

"Si Nian, quick, give me the child."

When Fu Sinian swam to the railing, Fu Shuwen squatted down in front of the railing and reached out his hand to him.

Fu Sinian lifted the boy up, and the father and son worked together seamlessly to successfully bring the boy ashore.

"Yueyue, please save this child."

Fu Shuwen quickly picked up the boy and carried him to Song Jinyue, then laid him flat on the ground.

Song Jinyue immediately knelt down on the ground and began to resuscitate the little boy.

The man standing in front of the railing picked up the branch that Song Jinyue had retrieved and held it out to Fu Sinian. "Comrade, quick, grab it, we'll pull you up!"

Fu Sinian wiped the water droplets from his face, grabbed a tree branch with one hand, and waited for the people on the shore to pull him up. He used both legs and his other arm to pull himself up, grabbed the railing, and jumped over it to reach the shore safely.

Tang Wanhua and Grandma Fu immediately surrounded Fu Sinian, looking him up and down. "Sinian, are you alright?"

"Mom, Grandma, I'm fine, don't worry."

"My clothes are soaked. It's getting cool at night and I could easily catch a cold. I need to hurry home and change."

As soon as Aunt Wu finished speaking, Uncle Wu took off his coat and handed it to Fu Sinian.

"Put this on first, so you don't catch a cold."

"No need, Fifth Uncle, you can wear it."

Fu Sinian quickly refused.

"Tsk, I'm wearing thick clothes, why are you being so polite with me? Hurry up and put them on."

Fifth Uncle clicked his tongue and forcefully stuffed the coat into Fu Sinian's hands.

The last and most important test is whether one's character is up to standard.

"Cough cough cough-"

Thanks to Song Jinyue's efforts, the little boy who had choked on water finally coughed up the water from his chest cavity.

"Mingming, Mingming, it's Grandma. Open your eyes and look at Grandma."

The old woman, who had just been crying her heart out, stared intently at her grandson lying on the ground, and then burst into tears and laughter.

"Waaah, Grandma."

Mingming was terrified; the first thing she did when she opened her eyes was to cry.

"Don't cry, don't cry, Grandma is here. It's Grandma's fault, Grandma didn't take good care of you."

The old woman held her grandson in her arms, knowing he was frightened, and didn't blame him, taking all the responsibility upon herself.

After confirming that the grandfather and grandson were both alright, Song Jinyue did not disturb them and quietly got up and walked towards Fu Sinian.

"Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Grandma, Uncle and Aunt, you go to see the show. Si Nian and I are going home to change our clothes."

"Okay, you guys go back now, don't let Si Nian catch a cold."

The group split into two groups. Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt led Grandpa Fu, Grandma Fu, Tang Wanhua, and Fu Shuwen to the square, while Song Jinyue went home with Fu Sinian.

"Go take a shower to get rid of the cold. I'll get you a towel and some clothes."

Song Jinyue took the coat from Fu Sinian and pushed him into the bathroom.

Gas water heaters already existed in this era, but they were expensive and unaffordable for ordinary families.

However, Song Jinyue's family was well-off and had installed the equipment long ago, making it very convenient for her to take a bath.

After finishing her sentence, Song Jinyue went upstairs, took out Fu Sinian's clothes from her suitcase, and also took a bath towel that her fifth aunt had just bought.

She went to the bathroom and knocked on the door. "Here, I brought you the towel and clothes. Open the door."

Upon hearing the sound, Fu Sinian turned off the shower and opened the bathroom door.

After the bathroom door opened a crack, Song Jinyue handed over the clothes and bath towel.

At that moment, her wrist was grabbed, the bathroom door was opened halfway, and she was uncontrollably pulled inside.
