I became the Counterpart of the Winner in a Period Novel-Chapter 369 - 319: That Young Man Resembles Someone

Jiang Mingyue carried a secret, feeling it necessary to meet Cui Ying and sell the secret for a price, but not now.

On the back seat of the bicycle, the box wasn’t afraid of getting wet in the rain, so Jiang Mingyue wasn’t worried.

With half a foot of water covering the road, there was always the hidden danger of falling into a dark ditch at any moment, but fortunately, she could "see".

"Wah! Wah!"

It seemed like there was the sound of a child crying ahead, but it wasn’t very clear.

"Quick, someone come! A child has fallen into a dark ditch." A pedestrian shouted loudly, hoping that more people would join in to rescue the child.

This wasn’t the way to Jiang Mingyue’s home, but she still turned in a different direction and entered Lu Mansion Road. There was a memorial hall for a revolution here, and the name was given after that.

At the bottom of the steep slope was Lake Road. After being washed by the torrential rain, the entire Lake Road was submerged into a vast ocean. It wasn’t just a child falling into a ditch that went unnoticed; even an adult would hardly be noticed, but thankfully someone saw it at the time.

Jiang Mingyue abandoned her bicycle and rushed towards a group of people gathered at a spot. Just as she was about to use her spiritual power to investigate, she saw a tall and strong man holding a child running towards the steep slope, with the others following. There was no need to ask; the child who fell into the ditch was the one being carried.

The child’s face was pale; he wasn’t unconscious but was frightened and on the verge of tears, eyes glistening with moisture...

Wait a minute, why did he look familiar?

"Xiao Ran?" Jiang Mingyue squeezed into the crowd. The small boy, upon hearing this familiar voice, immediately struggled to look into the crowd and then burst into a loud, earth-shattering cry.

"Sister, I thought I would never see you again. Boohoo! The water is so deep, the road is uneven, and I couldn’t see anything before I fell in. Boohoo, sister hug me."

"Alright, alright, sister will hug." Jiang Mingyue felt both heartache and amusement, but of course, she held back. The little one had never cried in front of her before, let alone as he was now, crying so loudly.

The onlookers also spoke to comfort him.

"Don’t cry, don’t cry, so it’s your sister! That’s good, don’t run around anymore, especially on rainy days."

"Yes, yes, but I think the child seems well-behaved, not like someone who runs around, there must have been something else."

Jiang Mingyue held him but still bowed to thank everyone, "Thank you! Thank you! Very much appreciated!"

Seeing that there was no serious matter, the onlookers waved their hands and left. "You’re welcome. As long as the child is alright. But the person who rescued your brother is that man over there."

When Jiang Mingyue wanted to thank the male comrade in person, she only saw his tall figure at the top of the slope.

Did he run off so quickly?

"Mingyue" finally got her chance. The woman who stayed until the end spoke.

Jiang Mingyue was surprised there was still someone there, but she understood after glancing at where the woman was standing. On both sides were century-old pines, as thick as men’s waists.

But... this person?

Zhu Xiangxiang quickly took off the conical hat on her head, revealing her face. Though there were still traces of water, it didn’t obscure recognition.

"Second sister-in-law?" Jiang Mingyue was surprised, then suddenly remembered the loud call for help and understood that it was Zhu Xiangxiang who helped.

"We’re family, no need to say thanks. But, I really didn’t know the child was Xiao Ran." Usually, I hear my husband mention him, but I’ve never seen him myself.

"Were you scared? Don’t be afraid, I’m your second sister-in-law."

By this time, Xiao Ran had stopped crying. Though he still looked a bit droopy, he could think clearly now.

For instance, now, he furrowed his small brows: His second brother wasn’t married yet, so where did this second sister-in-law come from?

"Did you forget? Sister has a doctor second brother, and this is the doctor second brother’s wife."

"I remember now. He’s been to our house. How come that brother didn’t come?"

Zhu Xiangxiang was quite amused, "You only think of the doctor brother, why not me?" Then finding her words a bit jealous, she quickly changed the subject, "Whose bicycle is this? Oh! This box is waterproof, thankfully. Who’s so wasteful?"

Jiang Mingyue: "Second sister-in-law, I was in a hurry to save people."

Zhu Xiangxiang understood.

After parting, Zhu Xiangxiang recalled the young man who saved Xiao Ran. She hadn’t thought much of it before, but now found him inexplicably similar to her own father-in-law. Could it be?

Zhu Xiangxiang considered a possibility, her pupils suddenly constricting.

Meanwhile, Xie Yunhai came home in the rain but found no one there. Only Lightning had run to the eaves to hide from the rain. Seeing the rain intensify, Xie Yunhai couldn’t stay home any longer and immediately called on Huang Mao and other brothers to look for people everywhere.

"Mingyue! Xiao Ran!" The increasingly urgent voice came closer and closer, and the siblings quickly pricked up their ears to listen carefully.
