Chapter 202: Limelight
Xie Yuhuan chuckled and did not say anything else. In her opinion, Gu Qingye was just pretending to be cool. He deliberately stood opposite everyone so that he would appear cool. He’s too childlike.
Turning to look at Old Madam Gu, Xie Yuhuan asked, “You don’t want to play?”
Old Madam Gu smiled and shook her head. “I’m already old, so I won’t play with you guys…”
Seeing that she was not interested, the rich ladies persuaded, “Old Madam Gu, you’re so good at playing games. Miss Gu has been learning to ride since she was young, so it’s definitely right to bet on her. Although the odds are only 1: 2, no matter how small a mosquito’s leg is, it’s still meat.”
Old Madam Gu still shook her head with no expression on her face, but she felt amused in her heart. She knew Gu Qingye very well and would definitely not act emotionally. Since Gu Qingye dared to bet ten million on Feng Qing to win, it meant that he had the confidence to win. Moreover, she believed in Feng Qing more than Gu Qingye. Although she had never seen Feng Qing ride a horse, her intuition told her so.
Bang! A gunshot rang out. One was red and the other white, the two horses rushed out of the starting line and dashed forward on their respective racetracks. Their hooves flew up and raised a cloud of dust.
Feng Qing sat on her horse and swayed back and forth. Her black and beautiful hair fluttered in the wind, and her pretty face was filled with a relaxed and carefree expression. She was valiant and heroic, and she was extremely youthful.
Xie Shihao stood in the middle of the field, staring at Feng Qing with a pair of binoculars. His face was filled with worry, afraid that she would suddenly fall off the horse.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Feng Qing overtook Gu Jingtong by riding the Dragon King at the first bend. The little white horse was light after all, so it had a fast start, but when it really started running, the Dragon King showed his speed.
The surrounding people exclaimed with admiration and started discussing while pointing at Feng Qing who was flying.
“Look, Young Master Xie’s little girlfriend actually knows how to ride a horse. She seems to be quite good. She overtook her at the first bend.”
“Nonsense. Who said that she doesn’t know how to ride a horse? She clearly rode very well. Did you see her posture? She can maintain such a standard riding technique at such a speed. How can she be someone who has never ridden a horse?”
“Oh my god, this is too fast. I feel that the competition has just begun, but it’s already over. Miss Gu, you can do it. Give it your all. Otherwise, you’ll lose terribly today.”
Seeing Feng Qing riding the horse with ease and being praised by everyone, Long Yuning’s expression turned ugly. Her nails were about to dig into her palms. She didn’t expect Feng Qing to know how to ride a horse and could ride it so well, causing her to be in the limelight.
A few years ago, Xie Jiuhan had often brought Feng Qing to ride horses. However, they had done so at a larger and better horse ranch. The reason why Feng Qing could ride so well was all because Xie Jiuhan had taught her personally on the horse’s back.
With one hand in his pocket, Gu Qingye fixed his gaze on Feng Qing. He never expected that Feng Qing would be so good at riding horses. Feng Qing had a smile on her face that was filled with confidence. She had a graceful bearing and elegant movements, possessing the domineering aura of a woman not inferior to a man. She also had a sweet and adorable side. There was a hint of surprise in Gu Qingye’s eyes. The current Feng Qing was too good-looking…
Suddenly, at another bend, Gu Jingtong, who was originally behind, suddenly exerted her strength. The little white horse under her had red eyes, as if it had taken a stimulant. It ran crazily towards the Dragon King, and the distance was slowly pulled in.
“Hmph, are you joking? I’m a semi-professional player after all. How can I lose to you?” Gu Jingtong’s expression was solemn as she kicked the horse.
She had loved riding ever since she was young, so she had hired many professional riders to teach her. Not only had she won many awards, but she had even once wanted to become a professional equestrian athlete. However, because she couldn’t bear the pain of training, she ultimately chose to give up.
Therefore, be it riding to compete in speed or riding to overcome obstacles, equestrian sports were her forte and had always been her pride. Now that Feng Qing had challenged her, how could she not be angry?
“Wow, look, Miss Gu isn’t a pushover. I think she’s going to catch up.”
“Come on, Miss Gu. We’ve placed all our money on you. If you lose, we will lose at least a billion yuan.”
“That’s amazing. Miss Gu, you’ve indeed received professional training. You just didn’t adjust your condition properly. You’ll definitely catch up later. Miss Gu, you can do it! You’ll definitely win!”
Seeing Gu Jingtong’s actions, the rich ladies started to discuss fervently again, cheering her on. After all, they had placed all their money on Gu Jingtong.
