She was implying to Gu Mang how close she was to him. It was as if the car had returned to Lu Chengzhou when she won it. It was as if what was hers also belonged to Lu Chengzhou. Gu Mang didn’t reply.
The staff brought the thoroughbred horse over. The horse was quite wild. It kept neighing and kicking its hind legs. The horse trainer touched the mane on its forehead to calm it down.
Seeing Gu Mang’s interest in the sports car, Yu Shu’s eyes lit up as she looked at Gu Mang. “If Ms. Gu is interested, we’ll use the sports car as the prize. If you win, the sports car will be yours.”
Qin Fang had also taken fancy to the car back then and had wanted it from Lu Chengzhou. But at the time, Lu Chengzhou wanted Yu Zhongjing to perform surgery on Granny Lu, so he did Yu Mufeng a favor only for him to lose the car to Yu Shu.
Hearing how Yu Shu was putting up the sports car for a bet, he grew interested and turned to them, smiling. “What if Gu Mang loses?”
Yu Shu calmly looked up and down at Gu Mang’s ordinary clothes and said magnanimously, “Although Ms. Gu is quite famous, she suffered hards.h.i.+ps while growing up in a poor environment, unlike us. I don’t lack anything. As long as everyone has fun, it’s all good.”
Lu Chengzhou’s eyes were black and icy. When he glanced over, his eyes were covered with a layer of ruthlessness.
Gu Mang raised an eyebrow and asked casually, “How much is the sports car?”
Qin Fang thought for a moment. “More than a hundred million, I forgot the actual price.”
Gu Mang nodded and took out a card from her pocket and held it between her two slim fair fingers, her expression insipid. “If I win I’ll take the sports car and if I lose I’ll pay up.”
Hearing her take up the challenge, Yu Shu smirked. “Sure, Ms. Gu shall decide on the rules.”
A hundred million. She must have used up all her family a.s.sets. Sheng Ting might be famous but he still worked for a company. How much money could actually trickle down from him to Gu Mang? As for Lan Ting, why would the Ji family allow Gu Mang to take the majority of the profits? She was just puffing herself up at her own cost.
“Ms. Gu wants to ride this horse?” Yu Shu pointed to the thoroughbred horse brought over by the staff.
It raised its head and neighed, shaking restlessly. The staff had to grab onto the reins tightly.
Gu Mang gave an insipid hum, looking impatient.
“Alright.” Yu Shu smiled elegantly and asked the staff to take her to the stables to pick a horse.
Lu Chengzhou’s expression was as cold as ice as he glanced at the thoroughbred horse. He lowered his voice as he whispered into Gu Mang’s ear, “That horse isn’t ready for a race. Take another one.”
Untamed horses were dangerous and hard to control.
Gu Mang shook her head. “It’s okay.”
She pulled her hand back from his palm and walked languidly up to the thoroughbred.
Her slender back profile was incredibly alluring.
Lu Chengzhou frowned, unable to suppress the worry in his eyes. He looked over to He Yidu and said in a serious, chilly voice. “Go get the gun.”
He Yidu was stunned for a moment.
Qin Fang cried pitifully. “Brother Cheng, I bought it for more than ten million.”
Money wasn’t what he was concerned about. Even though the horse was not very obedient, it was a very good horse.
He couldn’t just kill the horse because he was afraid Gu Mang might get into an accident. This was the precious horse he used to attract people to the racecourse! Who told him this was an auspicious day? Prosperous opening?! My a.s.s!
Lu Chengzhou was usually not easily angered. But he looked very serious and intimidating now. They were all engulfed in his stifling aura. It was cold and suffocating.
Seeing the expression on his face, Qin Fang’s att.i.tude immediately became serious. “Sister-in-law is more important! Old He, go get the gun!”
He spoke so righteously. The seriousness on Young Master Lu’s face diminished after that and he didn’t say another word.
