Chapter 414: Five Million
A voluptuous, hot woman stepped out of the Maserati sports car, clad in a white strapless T-s.h.i.+rt that she paired with black slim-fit pants. If the word “s.e.xy” needed a poster girl, she was undoubtedly it.
She had glittering wavy golden hair, comely features accentuated by her lovely arched eyebrows, and liveliness in the way she moved.
Shen Qingyan?!
Su Canye recognized her at once. That was his sister, Su Li’s good friend, and chairman of the Huayao Group, Shen Qingyan.
Although the boss of a large company, Shen Qingyan was not as well-known as Su Li, and few knew who she was, even among racing hobbyists. As such, she had no qualms about being her natural self and felt totally uninhibited being in such a crowd.
Su Li also came along this time. She was sitting in the front pa.s.senger’s seat, but she stayed in the car.
She was wearing a black blouse paired with skinny black pants and an orange jacket on top. To avoid being recognized, Su Li put on a pair of sungla.s.ses; although it was night time, her shades were a variety that still allowed for perfect vision in the dark. Although her sungla.s.ses covered a large portion of her face, her skin still showed, and it was fair and radiant. Her sensuous lips were mesmerizing, and slightly parted, showing glimpses of pearly-white teeth that sparkled like the white snow on the peaks of Tengri Tagh. She was the embodiment of a sacred lotus flower that had just blossomed—only to be admired from a distance, not to be touched.
The last thing that Su Li had expected was to meet her younger brother and Xiao Luo there. She knitted her brows, asking herself what the two were doing at Wild Wolf Mountain.
Shen Qingyan hadn’t expected it either. She glanced at Xiao Luo, then turned to Su Canye and said, “What are both of you doing here?”
“Qingyan, I should be asking you this question. You and my sis… Ahem, didn’t you both tell me to settle this by myself? Why are you here?” Su Canye deliberately raised his voice to make sure that Su Li heard him in the car.
“Do you think that your sister prints money for a living? Should she be doing nothing while you throw away a Bentley, worth more than two million dollars, all on a silly bet?”
Shen Qingyan scowled at Su Canye as she gave him a noogie on the head on Su Li’s behalf. “I will help you one last time. If you do it again, we shall see how your sister deals with you,” she said.
When she finished speaking, Su Canye noticed Su Li glaring at him from the car. Although she had her sungla.s.ses on, Su Canye could still feel the intense stare she was giving him, and it sent chills down his spine, making him shudder involuntarily.
“Queen, it’s good to have confidence, but being conceited is unbecoming!”
Lei s.h.i.+jian had just walked up to them, and upon hearing Shen Qingyan’s statement, he felt compelled to say a few words. He raised his eyebrows and chuckled, and at the same time, pushed the blond girl aside, suddenly losing interest in her.
“You’ll know if I’m conceited after the race,” Shen Qingyan quipped as she pushed her hair behind her ears and offered him an enchanting smile that he found hard to resist.
“Very well, then. But let’s change our wager this time. If you win, you may take Young Master Su’s Bentley. But, if by some good fortune, I win, you spend a night with me. How’s that?” Lei s.h.i.+jian responded. His s.h.i.+fty eyes pored lewdly over every inch of Shen Qingyan’s body, and he looked especially wretched.
After hearing Lei s.h.i.+jian’s shocking proposal, a cacophony of cheers and wolf whistles immediately erupted among the spectators gathered around, as it aroused their darker, wild sides.
The smile on Shen Qingyan’s face vanished as she stared at Lei s.h.i.+jian coldly.
But, Lei s.h.i.+jian, oozing with self-confidence, didn’t flinch at all. “Two and a half million for one night of euphoria. While it’s at a great expense to me, it’s the deal of a lifetime for you. Let me ask you, is there any other woman in this world who is worth more than two million for a night? I can a.s.sure you, there are none!” he argued.
“Qingyan, go for it. Show him what it’s like to make something from nothing,” Su Canye said.
He had absolute confidence in Shen Qingyan’s ability to win again, as her racing skills were phenomenal. In the last two races, she showed she could handle the pressure, and he believed that this time would be no exception.
“Shut up!” Shen Qingyan yelled at Su Canye, making him jolt back a couple of steps in fright. Then, smiling coyly at Lei s.h.i.+jian, she said, “Yes, it’s worth it, indeed. Fine, then. We will do as you say. If I win, I’ll walk away with Su Canye’s Bentley, and if I lose, I’ll sleep with you.”
“I like your straightforwardness, Queen. Hehe…”
Lei s.h.i.+jian felt his spirits lift, and he promptly gestured for someone from his team to prepare the agreements. Soon, two copies were brought over. The terms were per the agreement that had been reached between him and Shen Qingyan, and they duly endorsed it.
The Wild Wolf Mountain race fans cheered rambunctiously, and just thinking about what was being wagered fire them up more than usual.
“Hah, Wolf King, you can stop drooling, cos’ something like that ain’t never gonna happen.”
Su Canye waved his hand in a somewhat overbearing manner and said, “By the way, since my helper is here, my earlier agreement with you is rescinded.”
Lei s.h.i.+jian and his team members cracked up as if they had just heard the world’s funniest joke.
“Young Master Su, you’re talking nonsense. That agreement took effect the moment our thumbprints were stamped on it. The show must go on; otherwise, it will be considered as a forfeit, so if you withdraw from the race, the 2.5 million dollars will not be refunded,” Lei s.h.i.+jian said, spreading his hands to imply that there was nothing that could be done, since rules were rules.
“What? How can you do that? Return the money to my brother-in-law. We’re not competing anymore!”
Su Canye suddenly became very anxious. Now that Shen Qingyan was here, he could win his Bentley back for certain. But if she won the car back, then wouldn’t Xiao Luo lose his 2.5 million dollars? For he didn’t think that Xiao Luo could beat Lei s.h.i.+jian driving a Trumpchi; in fact, Xiao Luo was guaranteed to lose. Now, everything suddenly made sense—no wonder Lei s.h.i.+jian so readily agreed to compete against them, for he had evidently regarded Xiao Luo as a juicy pig that was ripe for the slaughter.
Lei s.h.i.+jian flashed a confident smile and wagged his index finger. “There is no such rule on Wild Wolf Mountain!” he said.
Su Canye was exasperated and protested, “I don’t care about whatever rules you have. Hurry up and—”
“Su Canye, you mean you both agreed to have a race with him?!” Shen Qingyan cut him off and grabbed him aggressively by the collar, appearing like she was about to clobber him.
Su Canye was stunned and stiffly nodded in fear of getting a good beating. “Uh, yeah,” he explained. “I didn’t expect you to come, and it was actually my brother-in-law who insisted on competing with him. It… it was not my decision!”
“You’re such a useless jerk, unable to achieve anything but spoiling things!”
Shen Qingyan shoved him away. Had Su Canye been her younger brother, she would definitely have whipped him in the face until it swelled like a pig’s head. He hadn’t even won the Bentley back yet, but he’d already risked another 2.5 million dollars, which would be lost by the looks of it. She felt really bad for Su Li for having a brother like Su Canye.
Su Canye lowered his head, unable to say another word.
“It’s okay. We’ll compete in our race, and you compete in yours. This doesn’t affect anything.” Xiao Luo finally spoke up. He had been staring at Su Li, who was still in the car. It wasn’t that he chose to look at Su Li, but rather, she was staring at him. Even with her sungla.s.ses, he knew it was her, and as a man, how could he avoid her eyes? He pointed at the Bentley and said to Lei s.h.i.+jian, “But both my target and her target is the same car. So, if we both win, how would you compensate us?”
When she heard Xiao Luo, the blonde girl beside Lei s.h.i.+jian burst out laughing. The other members of the Wild Wolf Mountain Motorsports team chuckled and smirked mockingly.
Lei s.h.i.+jian slapped Xiao Luo on his shoulder as he laughed derisively. “Don’t worry, my brother. If you can really win against me, I will pay you twice the money,” he said, stretching out five fingers. “Five million dollars!”
