Chapter 167: Third Brother’s Meeting Gift
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Feng Xinyao, the new school belle of Hui University, was related to the famous Murong Family. Instantly, everyone looked at Feng Xinyao differently.
Feng Xinyao, who was already praised as a G.o.ddess, was also praised to a new height because of her relation to the Murong Family.
For a moment, the forum became a place to praise Feng Xinyao.
“I can’t wait to delete the forum now.” Yang Xin lay on the bed unhappily and prodded the screen of her phone.
Leng Yan nodded in agreement. “If I didn’t know that this is the Hui University Forum, I would have thought that it was Feng Xinyao’s fan group.”
The moment she entered the forum these two days, the posts she saw all carried the tag of Feng Xinyao. They were extremely popular.
“They flatter her too much.” It was rare for Murong Qiao to speak.
Although she had learned from Murong Chuan that Feng Xinyao was not what the forum said, the comments that were exaggerated were really unbearable to look at.
Some comments were even more ridiculous. They looked like they wanted to turn Feng Xinyao into Murong Xinyao.
“Fortunately, she’s not in the same major as us. Otherwise, I would die of anger if I saw her in cla.s.s. I wouldn’t even be in the mood to take notes.” Leng Yan also sighed.
“Speaking of majors, there have been so many cla.s.ses recently. 1 feel that my mind has been filled with the voices of teachers recently. Even when I sleep…” Yang Xin complained bitterly.
Soon, their topic changed to something else. Murong Qiao didn’t think about Feng Xinyao anymore.
The next afternoon, Murong Qiao received a call from Murong Chuan.
“The Chen family’s banquet?” Murong Qiao was a little surprised.
“The head of the Chen family will be holding a birthday banquet in two days. First Brother can’t find the time to go, so I’ll bring you there.” Murong Chuan explained the situation.
The Chen Family and the Murong Family were considered relatives, so it was inevitable for them to have business dealings. In the past, Murong Chen had always been the one to attend. This year, his schedule was packed, so he could only ask Murong Chuan to attend on his behalf.
“Alright.” Murong Qiao nodded in agreement.
Although it was a gathering of the older generation, the next generation heirs would also come out to socialize. It was also to pave the way for the future.
On the day of the birthday banquet, Murong Qiao dressed up and went to the event location with Murong Chuan.
“Young Miss Murong, this way.” The attendant led the way respectfully.
The older generation chatted at the banquet, while the young people were arranged to play at the ranch.
Murong Chuan wanted to go in and greet Old Master Chen, so he let Murong Qiao walk around first.
As soon as she walked into the ranch, Murong Qiao’s gaze landed on a white horse. Its fair and flawless body looked extremely strong, attracting her attention unconsciously.
“These are all horses that can be ridden. Most of them have docile personalities. You don’t have to worry about being hurt.” The attendant walked in front and introduced them to Murong Qiao.
The ranch was vast and flat as far as the eye could see. A lush forest surrounded it neatly and formed a path. Compared to the luxury of the Chen family’s house, the ranch looked more natural and fresh, giving off a dazzling feeling.
Although it was not decorated much and maintained a natural style, the Chen family’s wealth could still be seen from the size of the ranch.
“I’ll stay here and watch.” After understanding the structure of the ranch a little, Murong Qiao indicated that she could be alone and sent the attendant away.
Many people came, but Murong Qiao didn’t know any of them. She walked slowly and was not afraid.
She came to the side of the field and could see at a glance that there were a few people walking their horses inside. They looked very comfortable.
The horses were well taken care of, with robust and graceful bodies that exuded a wild spirit when they ran. The breeze, carrying a sense of freedom, brushed against Murong Qiao’s heart. Her gaze remained fixed on the field, and her eyes seemed to sparkle with excitement.
Murong Chuan saw this scene as soon as he returned and sensed Murong Qiao’s rare yearning.
“You like it?” he asked.
Murong Qiao came back to her senses and nodded in reply. “I’ve never seen it before, but I’m quite interested.”
In her previous life, she had been tortured by Nan Zhi and had only encountered a few good things, let alone come into contact with such an elegant sport like race horses.
“Since you like it, I’ll buy a horse ranch as a greeting gift for you,” Murong Chuan said casually, as if it was an insignificant matter.
Murong Qiao was stunned for a moment. She looked at Murong Chuan in surprise with a helpless expression.
It was the power of money!
Murong Chuan had been observing his Little Sister’s reaction when he said this. At this moment, he heaved a sigh of relief when he saw her reaction.
A long time ago, Murong Chuan had been thinking about what kind of greeting gift he should give his Little Sister. However, he didn’t understand Murong Qiao and was afraid that she wouldn’t like the things he gifted, so he had no clue. After hesitating for a long time, he finally seized the opportunity today.
“There’s no need. This is too expensive.” Murong Qiao reacted and hurriedly waved her hand to refuse.
Although Murong Qiao already had a clear understanding of how generous her Big Brothers were when she first came to the Murong Family, it was too exaggerated for him to buy a horse ranch just because she was interested in it.
She didn’t want to brush off her Third Brother’s good intentions, so she could only say weakly, “I’m just interested now. If I don’t like it in the future…”
“If you like it, buy it. It’s not expensive.” Murong Chuan looked like he had made up his mind.
Hearing her Big Brother’s relaxed tone that seemed like it wasn’t a problem at all, Murong Qiao blinked. From her Third Brother’s words, it sounded like they were just discussing the matter of throwing away a dollar or two. What was there to care about?
Seeing her Third Brother like this, Murong Qiao simply didn’t continue refusing anymore. Instead, she asked some questions about the horse ranch.
Since he had already decided to gift one to her, she didn’t want to waste Murong Chuan’s kindness.
“A good horse has a strong personality and needs to be trained.” Seeing that his gift had been accepted, Murong Chuan relaxed a lot when he spoke to Murong Qiao. “1’11 find you a horse that suits you another day.”
The scene of Murong Qiao and Murong Chuan talking happened to fall into the eyes of Feng Xinyao, who was riding a horse not far away. Her fingers holding the reins subconsciously tightened, and her nails pierced the flesh of her palm before she realized the pain.
“What’s wrong, Yaoyao?” The boy beside Feng Xinyao asked with concern.
The boy was from the younger generation of the Chen family. His apt.i.tude was not bad, and he was one of the people who had a good relationship with Feng Xinyao.
Among the younger generation of the family, there were more men than women. Feng Xinyao was considered the most outstanding, so many people wanted to have a good relationship with her.
“It’s fine. I’ll take a walk myself.” Feng Xinyao habitually raised a weak smile and rejected the other party’s concern.
Seeing Murong Chuan and Murong Qiao speak so gently, Feng Xinyao felt a little uncomfortable. Even her face turned pale, making the boy’s heart ache.
Seeing that the boy was so concerned about her, Feng Xinyao felt no better. She had always enjoyed being noticed, but Murong Chuan never looked at her.
She knew that the girl was Murong Qiao, a student from the Department of Economics and Management. She was beautiful and exquisite, and she was the person she was often compared to on the forum.
“Riding horses can be b.u.mpy and risky, so why don’t you let me accompany you?”
“Young Miss Feng, my horsemanship is top-notch. I’ll accompany you.”
“How can your horsemanship be better than mine? Young Miss Feng, choose me!”
All kinds of voices sounded around them. They all wanted to stay with Feng Xinyao.
“There’s no need to trouble everyone. I want to try it myself.” Feng Xinyao politely rejected everyone’s kindness.
She smiled faintly and tightened her grip on the reins in her hand. Her innocent and cute expression made everyone’s hearts soften, and they subconsciously nodded in agreement.
Feng Xinyao took the opportunity to ride her horse to Murong Qiao’s side. She rode her horse elegantly and looked very professional.
“This is your first time at the ranch, right? You’re not familiar with everyone.” Feng Xinyao took the initiative to walk over and greet Murong Qiao. She often came to the Chen family’s ranch to play. She knew everyone here and recognized that this was Murong Qiao’s first time here. “It’s fine. I’ll bring you to meet the other people. We’ll be familiar with each other after a few rounds of greeting. Everyone can play together.”
At first, Murong Qiao’s gaze landed on the horse Feng Xinyao was riding, and then she heard Feng Xinyao’s gentle voice.
She looked up at Feng Xinyao on the horse. This was also the first time the two of them had officially met.
The moment Murong Qiao saw Feng Xinyao, she subconsciously felt disgusted.
Unlike the stunning beauty of Murong Qiao resembling a peony, Feng Xinyao exudes elegance. She is like a white flower glistening with dew drops after the rain, evoking a sense of softness and purity with just one glance.
However, what made Murong Qiao pay more attention was the way Feng Xinyao secretly glanced at Murong Chuan..
