Hearing that, Qin Fang was startled. He sprung upright immediately. “Brother Cheng, the trainer hasn’t tamed the horse yet. It’s not safe for Gu Mang to ride it.”
“I’ll accompany her.” Lu Chengzhou turned to the staff and gestured with his chin. “Go and bring it here.”
The staff looked at Qin Fang hesitantly. Seeing that his boss didn’t dare to speak, he knew who was in charge and so he walked quickly to the stable.
Yu Shu looked at Lu Chengzhou incredulously. He actually was going to indulge this girl to such an extent? The corner of her eyes reddened. She suppressed her anger and gritted her teeth.
Gu Mang said casually, “I’ll try.”
This meant that she didn’t need Lu Chengzhou with her.
Yu Shu turned to her, suppressing her anger inside, and smiled gracefully. “Ms. Gu, can you ride horses?”
Holding the lollipop in her mouth, Gu Mang’s expression was insipid. Her half-opened eyes were cold as she replied briefly, “A little.”
Her tone was relaxed, cold, and smug.
Yu Shu squeezed her hands, smiling in a dignified manner. Her every action was in good taste and excellent in every aspect.
“It’s only fun if we compete at a racecourse. I know how to ride myself. Could I have the honor of competing against Ms. Gu?” She looked at Gu Mang politely with not a trace of hostility.
Gu Mang did not reply for a while. Qin Fang and the others didn’t interrupt either knowing they were in for a good show. Lu Chengzhou’s phone rang suddenly with an incoming text. He lowered his head and replied to the message with one hand. It seemed that he didn’t hear what Yu Shu said.
Before Yu Shu could ask again, she heard Gu Mang reply indifferently, “I’m not interested.”
Qin Fang couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. The big boss was really ruthless.
Yu Shu stared at him with a stern face.
Qin Fang restrained himself and pointed at Jiang Shenyuan. “Don’t you think the great lawyer looks like he is taking his daughter around town? He’s doing pretty well at pulling the horse so the girl won’t fall over.”
Yu Shu pursed her lips and turned to look at Gu Mang. She smiled. “It’s just for fun, Ms. Gu, there’s nothing to be afraid of. I’m not that good at riding.”
Qin Fang was quiet. The way she said it… Yu Shu’s father, Yu Zhen was the commander of the military district and a subordinate to Big Uncle Lu. You could say that it was Big Uncle Lu who put him up to the role.
Yu Zhen had always taken Yu Shu along with him everywhere ever since she was young. Yu Shu basically had first hand experience with everything in the military district. She was best at riding and shooting. Her riding skills were better than He Yidu’s and his own. Wasn’t this obviously a plan to put Gu Mang down with a show of strength?
He Yidu tossed his cigarette b.u.t.t on the ground, stamped on it, and stared at Yu Shu with narrowed eyes silently. Qin Rui remained poised as he examined Gu Mang and Yu Shu’s facial expressions.
Seeing that Gu Mang was still looking at the thoroughbred horse and hadn’t replied, he thought for a moment and said, “Since we’re all just here to have fun, let’s forget about having a compet.i.tion.”
From the looks of Gu Mang’s face, she didn’t look like she was good at riding. Things could get ugly if she lost. If Yaozhi saw Gu Mang being bullied she would definitely get angry.
“Qin Rui, compet.i.tion is also a form of entertainment. Back when we came to the racecourse together, didn’t we always compete with each other?” Yu Shu remembered something and smiled. “I remember I won a limited edition sports car from Yu Mufeng last July. He still remembers that.”
Hearing this, Gu Mang’s eyes opened wider and her eyebrows raised irreverently. “Sports car?”
As soon as she started speaking, her tone was chilly.
“Yeah.” Yu Shu turned to her and her smile widened as if the event were very funny. “It’s a limited edition Maserati. Yu Mufeng begged Chengzhou for a long time before he was willing to lend it to him but he later lost it to me.”
Her voice carried a very familiar tone.
