Chapter 738: You Are the Same as Him
Twenty minutes later, Shen Li and the two boys arrived at Dutian Racecourse.
Since they had already communicated with the staff here, they went straight to the stables.
There was a total of twenty horses in the new batch of racehorses and all of them had been temporarily placed in Zone Z.
As Shen Li led the two brothers over, she spotted a tall and straight figure in the distance.
It was Lu Huaiyu.
Beside him stood a horse trainer who was describing the horses to him respectfully.
Lu Huaiyu seemed to be sizing up the horses in the stables. With one hand in his pocket, he had a languid posture.
Hearing their voices, he turned his head to look over and the corners of his lips curled up into a smile.
“Ah Li.”
The horse trainer beside him also hurriedly greeted her.
“Miss Ah Li.”
Dutian Racecourse had originally been built for the fourth Miss Gu. Now that Shen Li had returned, this racecourse had officially been placed in her name.
The horse trainer looked at the two people behind Shen Li.
“Young Master Siqi, Young Master Sicheng.”
Lu Huaiyu’s gaze fell on the two boys.
Gu Siqi immediately called out obediently.
“h.e.l.lo, Second Brother!”
Gu Sicheng followed suit.
“h.e.l.lo, Second Brother!”
Actually, they had already met Lu Huaiyu the night before, but they had not had the time to greet him properly.
Coming face to face with Lu Huaiyu now, the two brothers were inexplicably nervous when faced with his naturally imposing aura.
Lu Huaiyu’s thin lips curved up slightly.
“You can call me Cousin-in-law.”
Shen Li, “…”
He was extremely straightforward…
The two brothers clearly had not expected him to say this, so they were momentarily stunned.
After a short moment of shock, Gu Sicheng hesitantly said, “Well…”
It did not seem like their father would let them…
Shen Li shot Lu Huaiyu a glance.
“He’s just joking with you. Just call him Second Brother.”
Secretly, Lu Huaiyu thought it was a pity. However, since this was what she said, of course, it would be up to her.
Only then did Gu Siqi and his brother relax.
Shen Li asked, “Why is Second Brother here so early?”
The hotel that Lu Huaiyu was staying at was the Half-Sen which was very close to this place. However, no matter how close it was, it did not seem like he would have had the time to pack up his stuff and rush here in such a short time, right?
Moreover, it looked like he had already been here for a while.
Lu Huaiyu answered frankly.
“I had almost reached when I called you.”
Shen Li, “…”
Lu Huaiyu’s lips curled into a smile.
“I came here this time to pick a horse.”
Shen Li nodded in understanding. This made sense.
In fact, all new racehorses would be sent to Zone Z first. After they had been reappraised and verified, they would be sent to different zones for people to choose from.
Ordinary people were not qualified to enter Zone Z to choose horses.
But of course, Lu Huaiyu, was not an ordinary person.
He definitely had the qualifications.
“Then, does Second Brother fancy any particular one?” Shen Li asked as she looked into the stables.
Lu Huaiyu raised his hand and pointed to one of the stalls.
“That one is not bad.”
Shen Li followed his hand and saw that it was a white horse.
White horses were precious, especially this one. It looked very st.u.r.dy, with smooth fur, and it was full of vitality.
It pawed the ground with its hoof as its eyes revealed a hint of wildness.
It had to be said that Lu Huaiyu had an exceptional eye for horses.
Shen Li said, “Second Brother, if you like it, you can give it a try.”
That was precisely what Lu Huaiyu intended on doing, so he nodded.
“Okay.”
The horse trainer beside him became nervous.
“Miss Li, Second Master Lu, this horse has only just been delivered. It hasn’t familiarized itself with the environment yet, so I’m afraid it might still be a little volatile–”
The trainer was already being very tactful, but there was a hint of a reminder in his words.
Horses were very delicate creatures. The purer the bloodline, the more compet.i.tive it would be, and the prouder the temperament.
This horse had only just been delivered, and they had not even had time to cla.s.sify it yet. It would definitely be very dangerous to try it out without careful consideration first.
Second Master Lu had a distinguished status. If anything happened to him, it was likely that they would be held responsible for it.
Lu Huaiyu raised his eyebrows.
The horse trainer wanted to say more, but the manager beside Shen Li interrupted him.
“If Second Master Lu wants to try it out, just bring the horse out.”
As he spoke, he nervously looked at Lu Huaiyu.
This man was well-known for his equestrian skills. How could they question him?
Lu Huaiyu did not seem to care. He merely bowed his head slightly and said to Shen Li in a low voice, “I’ll go change.”
Shen Li’s heart moved slightly. She nodded and said to the manager beside her,”Please bring Qingfeng and the twins’ horses to the horse racing area as well.”
The manager quickly said, “Yes, miss.”
“Yes, miss.”
…
The men’s and women’s changing rooms at the horse farm were adjacent to each other.
Shen Li turned around to head in the opposite direction from the others and changed into a red riding outfit.
Then, she headed straight to the horse-riding area.
The horses had already been led there and were waiting.
Then, right before her, a tall figure wearing a black riding outfit could be seen walking in that direction.
She paused her footsteps, feeling as if her breathing had stopped for a moment.
This was the first time in her life that she had seen Lu Huaiyu in a riding suit.
The tailored riding suit perfectly outlined his figure, emphasizing his broad shoulders and narrow waist. His long legs walked at a lazy pace, exuding a carefree and n.o.ble temperament.
Beneath the helmet, the man’s side profile was smooth and elegant.
It cast a shadow on his deep brows and eyes. This made him look even more aloof and restrained, unapproachable.
He came to the white horse that he had chosen. He stretched out his white-gloved hand and pulled on the reins.
The white horse, which had been arrogant and unrestrained a moment ago, seemed to sensed this powerful aura and lowered its head slightly.
Lu Huaiyu seemed to smile.
Then, he quickly turned and swiftly mounted the horse!
Shen Li stared at him.
“Cousin?”
The two brothers, Gu Siqi and Gu Siyang, had also changed their clothes and had just came out. They had just happened to see Lu Huaiyu getting on the horse.
Gu Sicheng could not help but ask,”Hey, Cousin, the way that Second Brother got on the horse is similar to the way you do it!”
Shen Li’s eyes moved slightly.
At that moment, Lu Huaiyu seemed to sense something and looked over.
However, before he could move, a man who looked to be in his thirties suddenly rode over and began chatting with him.
“Let’s go.”
Shen Li gathered her thoughts and walked forward. The brothers quickly followed.
Seeing them come, the man who had been chatting immediately stopped and looked at Shen Li. He smiled and said, “So this horse farm belongs to this beautiful lady?”
He spoke with a fluent English accent.
Shen Li nodded.
“Yes, this horse farm used to belong to my mother.”
She replied in English as well.
As soon as she finished speaking, the man suddenly seemed stunned. He looked at Shen Li, then at Lu Huaiyu before smiling.
“I didn’t expect this lady to have a Leland accent. Miss, have you have been to Leland before, just like this gentleman?”
