Chapter 929: a.s.saulting Someone Immediately
Noticing the multiple times that Wen Xinya almost fell off the horse, Liu Yanhua turned pale and grabbed Gu Yuehan’s arm tightly, exclaiming in a shaky voice, “It’s too dangerous. What if Missy falls off the horse’s back? How am I supposed to answer to Ninth Young Master?”
Gu Yuehan was just as nervous, and his cold sweat would not stop trickling down his back. Si Yiyan had always pampered her and cherished her greatly. They would be in deep trouble if she were to suffer any injuries!
Greatly regretting her decisions, Liu Yanhua said, “The horse that Missy is riding seems to be untamed. Had I known earlier, I wouldn’t have left her to seek help from you. I should have accompanied Missy and helped her pick out a gentler horse…”
Liu Yanhua began blaming herself while her heart scrunched up.
Although Gu Yuehan was nervous, he was not as fl.u.s.tered as Liu Yanhua. He could tell that Wen Xinya knew how to ride a horse well. Besides, he could also tell that she only chose that horse because she wanted to beat Avrora.
He knew that she was bent on seizing the doc.u.ment regardless of what it took.
She had taken such a great risk, all for Si Yiyan!
Si Yiyan was willing to put his life at risk for her, and vice versa.
Liu Yanhua grabbed Gu Yuehan’s hand nervously and said, “Gu Yuehan, let’s go look for Ninth Young Master and ask him to stop the compet.i.tion. It’s too dangerous!”
Gu Yuehan comforted. “Don’t worry. Sis-in-law knows what to do. She’ll never take on a battle that she’s not confident of winning.”
If he were to go look for Si Yiyan and inform him and Duke Moville of the matter, Wen Xinya’s plans would backfire. Duke Moville would never let Avrora use that precious doc.u.ment as a stake and Si Yiyan wouldn’t let her take the risk because of the doc.u.ment.
Liu Yanhua spluttered in a shaky voice, “I don’t care. I’m going to go look for the Ninth Young Master…”
Gu Yuehan hesitated for a moment instead of persuading her not to look for Si Yiyan. Although the doc.u.ment was important, it was not as important as Wen Xinya’s safety.
However, at this very moment, Blaze craned its neck and let out a long neigh before darting forward like an arrow.
The wealthy heiresses then shrieked. “Oh my G.o.d! How could she be so quick? At this rate, she’s going to catch up with Miss Avrora in at most half a round more!”
“Hurry and look. Miss Avrora is speeding up too. I’ve never seen her this quick before. It’s impossible for that yellow-skinned chicken to beat Miss Avrora.”
At the instant that Blaze set off, Wen Xinya’s heart almost jumped out of her chest as she fully immersed herself in the thrill of riding the horse. All the scenery around her seemed to flash past at G.o.dlike speed.
“Vicious yellow-skinned chicken.” Avrora finally realized that she had been deceived by Wen Xinya, who not only was not a newbie at horseback riding but was in fact, an expert at it. Blaze was also more than a “royal” horse and had tremendous speed and torque.
“Go!” Wen Xinya exclaimed while whipping Blaze. She was full of confidence, which influenced Blaze to go even faster while neighing loudly.
Everyone at the racecourse was shocked speechless.
Greatly taken aback, Liu Yanhua murmured, “Turns out Missy is an expert at horseback riding.” She turned red in excitement and continued agitatedly, “Turns out Missy was intentionally pretending to be weak just to coerce Avrora into handing over that doc.u.ment.” The doc.u.ment was far too important to Si Yiyan and Lucifer. It would be a wonderful thing if Wen Xinya could get her hands on it.
Gu Yuehan let out a gasp of surprise and said, “Missy is so good at horseback riding. She’s awesome and fascinating.”
He felt that he ought to let Si Yiyan witness this amazing sight.
He then took out his camera and began filming the compet.i.tion.
After the first round, Wen Xinya had almost caught up with Avrora, who continuously tugged at the reigns to speed up as if she was being chased by a wolf.
However, Wen Xinya looked much calmer than her and the vigorous movement seemed to have no effect on her. There also seemed to be no limit to Blaze’s speed.
Avrora kept her eyes fixed on the front and thought to herself, There’s only half a round left and I’ll win. I can’t afford to lose. I mustn’t lose. The doc.u.ment is too important. If I lose, I’ll be giving away the family’s benefits. Grandpa will kill me when he finds out!
I can’t lose, absolutely not.
“Hi! Ghastly pale-faced ghoul, I’m almost catching up with you!” Blaze was almost catching up with Avrora’s horse and they would soon be side by side.
“Vicious yellow-skinned chicken, don’t bother being smug. There’s still a distance to go before the endpoint. We still don’t know who the winner is.” Avrora fumed beyond words and suddenly lashed her whip at Wen Xinya. She definitely could not afford to lose. Anyway, there wasn’t a rule that said she couldn’t hit her.
She lashed the whip with all her might.
The lash hit her with a loud thud.
Wen Xinya knew right from the start that the idiotic Avrora was a sore loser who would definitely resort to anything to win. Hence, she had already taken preventive measures and prepared herself mentally. She leaned backward and dodged Avrora’s whip, though her forearm unfortunately still sustained the attack.
She grunted in pain.
The spectators gasped in shock at the sight of what happened. Even those standing at a great distance away could hear the sounds of the whip las.h.i.+ng in the air. They could only imagine how painful it must have been.
Miss Avrora was too ruthless.
Extremely agitated, Liu Yanhua hollered. “That shameless b.i.t.c.h Avrora is so cunning. I wonder if Missy has suffered a severe injury.”
Gu Yuehan clenched his fists tightly with anger written all over his face.
However, Wen Xinya did not have the time to worry about the wound on her forearm which had already become an abrasion. Clearly, the whip had been lashed against her with immense force, causing her forearm to go numb momentarily. Blaze then lagged behind Avrora and, as soon as Wen Xinya tightened her grip on the rope, she felt an unbearable, stinging pain in her forearm.
Trying her best to bear with the pain, Wen Xinya raised the whip, bent forward and whipped the limb of Avrora’s horse.
t.i.t for tat.
Avrora’s horse neighed loudly because of the pain and darted forward before spinning around and around on the ground in exasperation. It refused to move regardless of how many times Avrora tried to whip it to make it move. She screeched. “Gruesome yellow-skinned chicken! You’re just asking for death…”
Wen Xinya sneered at Avrora and exclaimed, “Ugly pale-faced ghost, you’ve brought it upon yourself!”
