Chapter 382: Chapter 382: Ambushed

After yesterday’s dangers, Fu Jinqiao still came down with a fever from the shock.

Being in the early stages of pregnancy, she was afraid that medication might affect the fetus, so she bore the discomfort of the fever and sat in the makeup room.

She sighed, "This must be the easiest bridal pickup in history, right? I’m really such a miserable woman!"

The originally planned bridal pickup tasks were all canceled because the ceremony time had been moved up, and both the Fu Family and Mu Family felt Fu Jinqiao’s health was paramount and rushed the ceremony to get her home to rest.

Li Qiutong’s mouth twitched, "Are you bragging about your misfortune?"

Fu Jinqiao blinked her big eyes, "Where am I?"

"You haven’t? Captured the heart of Movie King Mu, carrying his child, what more do you want? Do you know how many women are heartbroken that Movie King Mu is getting married?"

"Are you heartbroken?"

Li Qiutong rolled her eyes, "I am heartbroken!"

"Huh? You fantasized about my brother too?"

Li Qiutong pouted, "Of course not, I’m heartbroken because you’re getting married, and no one will be single with me anymore. I’ll have to wallow alone."

Fu Jinqiao laughed heartily, "That’s true, from now on I’ll often send you updates about my life with brother, so you can keep wallowing."

After casting a disdainful glance at her, Li Qiutong still bent down to hug her, "Hearing about yesterday’s kidnapping scared the soul out of me, but thankfully everything ended safely. Jinqiao, I wish you and Movie King Mu a harmonious and everlasting marriage."

Fu Jinqiao hummed, "Thank you."

"You’re still quite hot, drink some more water."

"Alright."

Soon after, Fu Jinqiao drank too much water and wanted to go to the restroom.

Li Qiutong helped her to stand up.

Seeing this, Ruan Qingqing said, "I’ll go with you, it’s better to have someone there just in case."

Fu Jinqiao smiled, "It’s okay, Sister Qingqing, there are bodyguards at the door."

Ruan Qingqing nodded, "Then I’ll go with you too, I’m not at ease."

Fu Jinqiao, "Sister Qingqing, you’re really kind."

Ruan Qingqing smiled faintly, "It’s what I should do. After all, you are An Yan’s beloved."

That statement was spot on, An Yan cared deeply for Fu Jinqiao.

Li Qiutong assisting Fu Jinqiao with Ruan Qingqing following them, their dresses trailed behind them with two bodyguards following.

Since it was the women’s restroom, the bodyguards stayed outside.

Ruan Qingqing and Li Qiutong accompanied Fu Jinqiao inside.

Just then, a woman burst out of a stall holding a bottle of a colorless, transparent liquid, uncapped.

She directly splashed the liquid in the bottle toward Fu Jinqiao.

Li Qiutong instantly turned around and hugged Fu Jinqiao, pressing her head into her chest.

The liquid splashed onto her back.

A strong, pungent odor followed, and a sizzling sound arose, a burning sensation sweeping across her back instantly.

The woman, filled with anger, charged at them, now with a knife in hand.

Ruan Qingqing stepped forward swiftly and knocked her to the ground.

The woman tried to charge again, but upon seeing Ruan Qingqing’s stern eyes, she quickly scrambled out the window and fled.

This all happened in the blink of an eye.

When the bodyguards charged in, the woman had already escaped.

One bodyguard jumped out the window to chase after the assailant, while the other quickly contacted Fu Shiyan to report what had happened.

Li Qiutong’s face scrunched up in pain, but she still managed a weak smile, "Jinqiao, good thing you’re alright. Make sure you go through with the wedding properly, understand? Otherwise, my injury would be in vain."

Fu Jinqiao sobbed loudly, "It must be that bitch Su Manxi, who messed with me yesterday and still wants to harm me today! I want to strangle her!"

Ruan Qingqing hurriedly asked, "Jinqiao, are you hurt?"

Fu Jinqiao shook her head, her makeup smeared from crying, her voice choked, "Sister Qingqing, please help me take Qiutong to the hospital."

Ruan Qingqing nodded, supporting Li Qiutong’s arm, "I’ll take you to the hospital. Leave the rest to An Yan and the others."

Li Qiutong nodded, "Thank you, Sister Qingqing. If it weren’t for you pushing that woman earlier, we might have been injured."

Ruan Qingqing sighed, "I was supporting Jinqiao just now, and you were handling the train of the dress. I could have shielded you from the acid."

Li Qiutong thought she was so kind, "Sister Qingqing, you’re truly wonderful. Worthy of being Younger Auntie’s friend, always ready to take a knife for her friends in crucial moments."

At that moment, An Yan, Fu Shiyan, and Mu Qianfan all rushed over.

An Yan saw that Li Qiutong’s wounds were quite severe, "Quick, to the hospital! Ayan, you take Qiutong."

Fu Shiyan nodded, "Okay."

An Yan asked Fu Jinqiao how she was, her eyes red, "That Su Manxi is truly despicable!"

Upon reflection, she grabbed An Yan’s arm, "Younger Auntie, I remembered, that woman is the illegitimate fan of Movie King Mu!"

Illegitimate fan?

So this was just a simple case of a fan taking revenge?

The security was tight, how did this woman sneak in?

An Yan furrowed her brows, was it Su Manxi who arranged for her to come in?

But now, she didn’t have time to think further, because the wedding ceremony was about to start.

An Yan wiped the tears from Fu Jinqiao’s face, "Jinqiao, what you need to do now is to complete the wedding with Third Brother and then go visit Qiutong, understand?"

"I understand." Fu Jinqiao nodded, "Qiutong got injured for me, I won’t let her down, I’ll make sure the wedding goes smoothly."

An Yan held her hand, leading her back to the makeup room for a touch-up.

The ceremony was simplified once again, amidst the blessings of everyone, Fu Jinqiao was handed over from Fu Donglin to Mu Qianfan, the two walked hand in hand onto a stage decked with flowers.

The officiant, informed to skip the vows, directly had them exchange rings.

After exchanging rings, Mu Qianfan swept Fu Jinqiao off her feet and rushed out of the banquet hall.

The officiant and the guests didn’t know the details and felt this was the most anxious bride and groom in history, who didn’t bother honoring their guests and rushed to the bridal chamber.

While everyone thought this, no one dared to speak their thoughts aloud.

The Fu and Mu families entertained the guests while An Yan left with Li Qiutong’s parents for the hospital.

At the hospital.

Li Qiutong’s back was severely burned by acid, and she was immediately taken into surgery.

Fu Shiyan stood outside the operating room, calling An Yan to inform her of Li Qiutong’s condition, asking her to tell Li Qiutong’s parents not to worry too much, as the Fu and Mu families would find the best hospital to treat her.

After hanging up, Fu Shiyan stood by the window with a cigarette between his lips.

He had quit smoking for a while, to prepare for trying to conceive.

These past two days had been truly frustrating, he wanted to smoke but hadn’t lit up.

Ruan Qingqing walked up beside him, "When I was at the door earlier, I heard Jinqiao say that woman is Movie King Mu’s illegitimate fan."

Fu Shiyan responded indifferently, "I heard. The Wanjiang Banquet was closed to customers this entire week just for today’s security. The guests also received their invitations only three days ago, how did this illegitimate fan get in? Unless, she hid inside Wanjiang Banquet a week ago. That’s quite baffling! Who exactly leaked this information?"

He looked towards Ruan Qingqing, "Not many people knew about this."

Ruan Qingqing’s features slightly softened, "Could it be Su Manxi? I heard from An Yan that she kidnapped Jinqiao yesterday."
