Chapter 302 Rescue at Full Stretch
When people are enjoying the beautiful fireworks, a firework box that’s nearest to Fu Zhengzheng explodes suddenly. The scene is full of screams and becomes messy. Fu Zhengzheng holds Fu Xing tightly in haste. But before they run away, some sparks fly directly towards her.
Fu Zhengzheng is startled and afraid that Fu Xing will be hurt, so she protects him with her arms and wants to move to the left. Unexpectedly, a person grabs her from the back and pushes her to the right. There are two steps on the right so that she stumbles over the step and falls with Fu Xing. She turns around slightly and falls on the ground first to make sure Fu Xing can lie into her arms safely. She wants to pick herself up, but someone stamps on her ankle hard, and she feels a sharp pain. She becomes feeble all over and they fall on the step again.
“Step aside! Move to the left! Some people have fallen!” Fu Wenhai roars above Fu Zhengzheng’s head.
Fu Zhengzheng hears the noise around and feels someone touch her sometimes. For fear that they will stamp on Fu Xing, she holds Fu Xing tightly with one hand and sits up quickly. She wants to stand up, but the pain on her foot hits her again suddenly. She can’t help grimacing. She collapses again and pushes away the crowd around her desperately with the other hand.
“Miss Fu, how are you?”
Fu Wenhai asks panickily. At the same time, he lifts them up with strength and surrounds them.
Fu Zhengzheng keeps protecting Fu Xing and manages to stand up. She grits her teeth, gasps and doesn’t have the time and energy to answer him. She just grabs his arm with the other hand to make herself balanced.
Then someone lets out a scream in the crowd, which is followed by a muffled puff sound and the explosion of fireworks. Fu Zhengzheng feels Fu Wenhai shiver, but he surrounds them more tightly.
They are pushed and shoved. Fu Zhengzheng holds Fu Xing tightly. Fu Wenhai surrounds them firmly all the time and shouts to the crowd: “Don’t shove here. Someone has been hurt here.”
“Go west or east. Don’t squeeze in the middle. The fireworks are still exploding!” Tian Xin shouts to the crowd with the microphone.
Fu Zhengzheng looks around and finds the crowd has been in a mess. People run wildly in all directions and nearly knock her down for several times. She manages to stabilize herself with the help of Fu Wenhai and intends to follow the crowd, but her injured foot hurts as soon as she walks.
“Is your foot hurt?” Wen Wenhai asks.
“Mummy!” Fu Xing screams with horror in her arms.
“Mummy is here!” Fu Zhengzheng responds hurriedly while wiggling her foot on the tiptoe secretly. Then she feels slightly better and intends to go.
Suddenly, Fu Wenhai surrounds Fu Zhengzheng and Fu Xing in his arms, lifts them up at one go and rushes after the crowd to a big tree.
At this moment, the “shrewish” fireworks have burnt completely, and people have run away.
Sun Qiubo and Tian Xin rush out of the restaurant while shouting panickily: “Zhengzheng, Xingxing, how are you?”
Finding it’s not dangerous anymore, Fu Zhengzheng lowers her head to ask worriedly how Fu Xing is before sparing time to take a breath.
“Mummy, I’m all right. What about you?” Fu Xing struggles to stick his head out and responds with tearful eyes and a trembling voice.
“Glad to hear that. Mummy is fine too.” Fu Zhengzheng sighs with relief secretly. Looking at the pale face of her son, she feels heartbroken and comforts him softly at once.
Sun Qiubo and Tian Xin run over. Sun Qiubo takes Fu Xing from Fu Zhengzheng and lifts him aside to comfort him. Tian Xin holds Fu Zhengzheng and wants to say something when someone shouts behind: “His coat is smoking.”
Hearing that, Fu Zhengzheng looks back and finds Fu Wenhai’s back smoking. She pats his hand and shouts in panic: “Take off your coat now.”
Fu Wenhai takes off his coat quickly and pats it. Finding it still smoking, he takes out the valuables immediately and then throws it to the open space directly.
Then Fu Zhengzheng realizes why Fu Wenhai kept standing behind her. It turns out he was protecting her from fireworks. The sound of puff she heard just now was the explosion of fireworks on his back. She doesn’t know what to say for the moment.
Obviously, Fu Wenhai doesn’t notice her facial expression and just asks anxiously: “Miss Fu, how is your foot?”
Hearing that, Tian Xin is shocked: “Zhengzheng, is your foot hurt?”
“Someone stamped on me just now. It might not be serious.” Fu Zhengzheng manages to stand straight and tries standing with her injured foot. Although it’s still a little painful, it’s much better than just now.
“How about going to the hospital for an examination?” Tian Xin advises.
Fu Zhengzheng hears Tian Xin’s choked voice and smiles at one: “Don’t worry. It only aches slightly. Perhaps it will be fine this evening. Are you all OK?”
“We’re all right. Let me help you to sit in the restaurant. I was scared just now.”
Han Tengyue who is holding Han Xiao runs out of the restaurant with Ji Yashu.
“How is Xingxing?” Han Tengyue and Ji Yashu ask simultaneously.
Tian Xin answers quickly: “They are fine. But Xingxing was frightened and Zhengzheng twisted her ankle.”
“Grandma, I’m OK.”
Ji Yashu doesn’t believe and looks up and down at Fu Xing who is held by Sun Qiubo. After making sure he is indeed fine, she prays while putting her palms together devoutly: “Great. I was dead scared just now. God bless you.”
Han Tengyue sighs with relief and shouts to a waiter working around: “Pour two glasses of hot tea for them to get over the shock.”
“I’ll do it.” Sun Qiubo hands Fu Xing to Ji Yashu and then rushes to pour tea.
They enter the restaurant and sit down. Fu Zhengzheng feeds some hot tea to Fu Xing. After his face goes red, her mind is eased.
“Miss Fu, sorry.” Fu Wenhai who stands beside her says suddenly.
Fu Zhengzheng notices Fu Wenhai’s facial expression is strange and asks confusedly: “Mr. Fu, why do you say sorry? I’m grateful for your rescue just now, or Fu Xing and I…”
Fu Wenhai waves quickly and looks panicky: “No. I made the situation worse. I planned to push you and Xingxing to a safe place, but I didn’t know there were steps. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have fallen and been stamped on by others. Luckily, you and Xingxing are fine, or I don’t know how to explain to Mr. Han.”
Then he pats his head heavily and regretfully.
Then Fu Zhengzheng knows it’s Fu Wenhai who pushed her and made her fall. She says immediately: “It’s not your fault. It happened too suddenly.”
Tian Xin breaks in: “Anyway, thanks for your protection of Zhengzheng and Xingxing from the firework sparks, they are safe and sound.”
Fu Wenhai rubs his hands and forces a smile: “I just made amends for my fault. I only hope Mr. Han won’t blame me after he hears it.”
Fu Zhengzheng comforts him at once: “Don’t worry. Siqi won’t blame you. In that dangerous situation, you rescued his wife and child without thinking about your own safety. He will be extremely grateful.”
“I’m flattered. So long as Mr. Han doesn’t blame me, I will feel very lucky.” Although Fu Zhengzheng comforts him, he is still restless.
“Zhengzheng, sit here for a rest. I’ll go out and check.” Then Tian Xin walks outward, and Sun Qiubo follows her.
Fu Wenhai asks right away: “What can I do for you?”
“No, thanks.” Tian Xin waves.
“Sit here for a rest, young man.” Han Tengyue saw Fu Wenhai rescue Fu Zhengzheng and Fu Xing, so he is friendly to Fu Wenhai and asks a waiter to bring him a cup of hot tea: “Your coat has been burnt. Are you all right?”
“Yes. Thanks for your care, Mr. Han.” Hearing Han Tengyue’s question, Fu Wenhai nods to show his gratitude at once.
“Do you know me?” Han Tengyue pats his shoulder, signaling him to sit down.
“You are famous. Who doesn’t know you in B City?”
His words make Han Tengyue beam: “Are you a business partner of Weihan?”
Fu Wenhai answers respectfully: “I’m Fu Wenhai of Wenhai Building Materials and is often helped by junior Mr. Han.”
“I’ve heard of Wenhai Building Materials. Good. Young and promising.” Han Tengyue says with praise.
Fu Wenhai smiles right away: “You flatter me. I am not worthy of such compliments.”
“Grandpa, I’m hungry.” Fu Xing takes Han Tengyue’s hand and says.
Han Tengyue says at once: “I’ll take you to look for food.”
He says goodbye with Fu Wenhai and then enters the kitchen with Ji Yashu, Fu Xing and Han Xiao.
Fu Wenhai twists his head and says to Fu Zhengzheng in a low voice: “Miss Fu, I think I have to call Mr. Han to explain the situation.”
Fu Zhengzheng responds at once: “Mr. Fu, it’s not your fault. You don’t need to be so restless.”
At this moment, Tian Xin and Sun Qiubo come in.
Fu Zhengzheng asks: “How is it going outside? Is anyone else hurt?”
“Not bad. Only some staff of the restaurant were hit and slightly injured. I’ve asked them to go to the nearby clinic. It’s quite lucky that no stampede happened, nor people were hurt badly, or I really don’t know how to deal with it.” Tian Xin’s heart still flutters with fear.
Sun Qiubo comforts her at once: “Don’t worry. It means we have a good start and each step is a victory.”
Fu Wenhai can’t help asking: “Why did the fireworks explode?”
Sun Qiubo responds angrily: “It must be due to quality problem. I’ll go back to the retailer for compensation.”
Hearing that, Fu Wenhai doesn’t say anything. He just smiles, moves aside, looks at his mobile phone and looks ill at ease.
Fu Zhengzheng says: “Mr. Fu, your coat is gone. Don’t catch a cold. Please go back to put on a coat. I’ll call Siqi later.”
Fu Wenhai looks at her and nods slightly: “Well, OK, I’ll go back. If something happens, please contact me.”
“He is dependable.” Tian Xin looks at Fu Wenhai’s back and says.
Fu Zhengzheng responds: “Yes. He has helped me for several times.”
Sun Qiubo blinks and says: “Hey, Zhengzheng, does he have feelings for…”
Fu Zhengzheng snaps: “Shut up! Your idea is so dirty. He only wants to make some money from Siqi.”
Tian Xin rolls her eyes at Sun Qiubo: “Ask someone to clean the ground in front of the door.”
“What? You’re asking me to work again. Do you really take me as a waitress? I’m an honorary boss!” Sun Qiubo grumbles but she still goes out.
Tian Xin looks at Fu Zhengzheng’s foot worriedly: “Zhengzheng, won’t you go to the hospital to examine your foot?”
“Don’t worry. Go about your business. Today is the opening day. We’re giving a special offer, so there must be many guests at noon. I hope there won’t be such an incident again.” Then Fu Zhengzheng twists her ankle to show she is fine.
“Sit here. I’ll go to work.” Then Tian Xin leaves.
Fu Zhengzheng stands up and tries to walk two steps. Although it’s a little painful, she can manage to walk, so she tries to walk to the door. At this moment, someone runs inside suddenly…
