Chapter 182: Riding the Fiercest Horse
Qin Rui looked at her sternly. “Yaozhi, don’t talk to your big brother like that.”
Qin Yaozhi curled her lips. The others broke out in laughter.
Qin Yaozhi glanced at the stables and grabbed Gu Mang and Meng Jinyang’s arms. “Sister Mang, Jinyang, let’s go horse riding. Look how cute the ponies are.”
Watching the three girls, Yu Shu squeezed her hand. They seemed close. Even the little princess of the Qin family was close to Gu Mang. Qin Yaozhi was quite special. She was the only girl of her generation, so she had been extremely pampered by her family.
She was hard to approach and had an odd temperament but the Qin family’s Old Master pampered her. If it weren’t for Qin Yaozhi’s illness, the Old Master would never have allowed Qin Yaozhi to come to Ming City with Qin Rui.
Meng Jinyang had never ridden a horse before, so she was a little scared. “I can’t ride a horse, I don’t think I’ll go. You can go ahead with Gu Mang.”
“It’s alright.” Qin Yaozhi looked to Qin Rui, “Brother, help Jinyang onto the horse, will you?”
Qin Rui stepped aside and pointed his chin at Jiang Shenyuan. “Look for Brother Shenyuan and his staff.”
Qin Yaozhi raised an eyebrow. “Brother Shenyuan?”
Jiang Shenyuan glanced at Meng Jinyang looking like she wanted to try but was too scared to do it. He told one of the staff, “Go and bring the horses over here.”
“Two horses will do. I won’t be riding,” Gu Mang said suddenly.
Hearing that, he stared at Gu Mang. “If you don’t know how to ride, I’ll pull the horse for you.”
“No,” Gu Mang mumbled, her expression languid. She scanned the row of horses in the stable and upon catching sight of the thoroughbred horse at the end, her eyes narrowed.
Lu Chengzhou looked in the direction of her gaze. Qin Fang’s most beloved thoroughbred horse had been acquired for more than ten million.
It was very wild and fierce. It was still untamed. She wanted to ride that?
The staff came over with two ponies. Qin Yaozhi knew how to ride. She didn’t need help getting up herself onto the pony.
Grasping the reins, she looked back at Gu Mang. “Sister Mang, you should try this too. It’s not hard to ride a horse.”
Gu Mang was expressionless and her tone was rather mild as she said, “You two go and have fun.”
Jiang Shenyuan walked up slowly to the pony and touched the horse’s forehead. It was quite docile.
He took off his coat, threw it to his staff, looked at Meng Jinyang, and stretched out his hand. “Jinyang, come, I’ll help you up.”
Meng Jinyang nodded and followed his instructions carefully.
“Be careful, step on the stirrups.” Jiang Shenyuan supported her arm.
When Meng Jinyang sat down steadily, he told her to grip the reins tightly before leading the horse forward slowly.
Qin Fang nudged He Yidu with a shoulder bump and whispered, “The great lawyer sure has patience. I just don’t get it.”
He Yidu didn’t get why either.
Perhaps it was out of sympathy. After all, Jiang Shenyuan was the one who fought for Meng Jinyang’s case. It was only normal that the two were close. Jiang Shenyuan and Gu Mang were friends too, right?
Watching this scene, Yu Shu knitted her eyebrows together. Jiang Shenyuan humbled himself to pull the horse for that girl?
Gu Mang glanced at Meng Jinyang, who was sitting on the pony. Then she turned back to look at the thoroughbred horse.
“Want to ride that horse?” Lu Chengzhou gently rubbed her fingers and asked softly.
Gu Mang cocked her head to the side, her black eyes like a deep lake as she looked at him with a cold aura surrounding her. She casually gave her assent with a murmur.
“The others don’t look very energetic.” Her tone was insipid with a hint of wildness and unbridled audacity underneath.
Lu Chengzhou’s eyes showed some amusement. He nodded and ordered the staff, “Go and bring the thoroughbred horse over here.”
Yu Shu sneered inwardly. How presumptuous. Did she think a horse bought for more than ten million would be so easy to ride? Don’t fall and get paralyzed.
