Chapter 545 Betting On Victory
Her eyes were red as she looked at Gu Zheng aggrievedly. “Ah Zheng…”
Yao ngqing’s admirers were instantly angry. “Mrs. Gu, your words are too harsh. This horse is too temperantal. It’s not strange that a weak girl like Miss Yao can’t ta it. You can’t say that Miss Yao isn’t good at riding!”
“Mrs. Gu, you’re so harsh with your words. If you’re good, ta this horse, then. Otherwise, what right do you have to mock Miss Yao?”
These n must like Yao ngqing a lot. When they saw Yao ngqing crying aggrievedly, they hurriedly stood up to defend her.
Before Qiao Xi could speak, Gu Zheng’s eyes turned cold. His voice was icy-cold and dignified. “I didn’t know that everyone would be so displeased just because Mrs. Gu spoke the truth.”
Everyone imdiately fell silent. Then, a few friends who were close to Gu Yao stood up.
“Mrs. Gu was the one who took a liking to this horse first. It was Yao ngqing who said that Mrs. Gu doesn’t know how to ride a horse. She claid to be worried that Mrs. Gu couldn’t control this horse, so she forcefully snatched it away. Now that she has embarrassed herself, she’s blaming Mrs. Gu?”
“Moreover, you guys claim that the horse is temperantal, but when it was standing beside Mrs. Gu just now, it was as obedient as a child. Why did it suddenly beco irritable when it was beside Yao ngqing?”
“You stole her horse yet you’re blaming her after you humiliated yourself. Isn’t this too much?”
Yao ngqing’s expression darkened as she gritted her teeth.
However, there was one thing she was very sure of. Qiao Xi definitely did not know how to ride. Otherwise, with her character, she would definitely have retorted when she mocked her for her lack of riding ability just now.
All the young ladies and madams of the upper-class society were proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, riding, and dancing. So of them even reared horses in their villas for daily training
Qiao Xi was not even wearing a riding suit, so her riding skills were definitely inferior to hers.
Yao ngqing was full of hatred as she thought about it. Why should she be the one losing face? She wanted Qiao Xi to have a taste of this as well.
“Ah Zheng, it’s all my fault. I thought that Xi Xi didn’t know how to ride a horse, so I asked her to give this horse for her own good. I didn’t expect that I actually can’t control this horse. Since Xi Xi can control this horse, why don’t we let Xi Xi try riding it?”
Qiao Xi smiled aningfully. She wanted to drag her down with her?
Yao ngqing was helped up by everyone. She said weakly, “I… I didn’t an to make things difficult for Xi Xi. It’s just that if news of this gets out, I’m afraid people will say that Xi Xi doesn’t know how to ride a horse herself but she still wants to mock . If… Xi Xi can ta this horse, the rumors will be unfounded.”
Her admirers all looked at her in admiration. ngqing was still the most understanding.
One of the n echoed, “That’s right, President Gu. If others find out that Mrs. Gu doesn’t know how to ride a horse but still taunts others, she’ll definitely make a fool of herself. If Mrs. Gu knows how to ride a horse, why don’t she give it a try?
“Otherwise, when others hear this, they’ll say that Mrs. Gu was deliberately targeting Miss Yao. They’ll also say that Mrs. Gu is vicious and can’t think for the greater good of her family. Whenever she sees soone in an embarrassing situation, she’ll mock them without regard for anything else.”
Gu Yao was indignant. Qiao Xi was vicious? They really knew how to play the bla ga!
The man continued, “Mrs. Gu, if you can ta this horse, I’m willing to apologize. Since my family owns a lot of shops, how about I give you two to three if it turns out that I’m wrong?”
Shops?
Qiao Xi was instantly interested, but she pretended to be troubled. “This…”
The other admirer thought that Qiao Xi did not dare to do it, so he said, “Since Young Master An is so generous, then I can’t fall behind. If you can ta this horse, I’ll give you a building!”
“Count in too!”
These people were afraid that Qiao Xi would be unwilling to get on the horse, so they made their offers successively.
Lu Yan, who had been silent for a long ti, suddenly smiled. “President Gu, why don’t we let Miss Qiao try riding the horse? Even if she can’t control it, it won’t be a loss. However, if she can, she’ll gain a lot of benefits.”
Everyone looked at Lu Yan. The others did not know Lu Yan’s relationship with the Gu family, but Yao ngqing knew it very well.
In the past few days, she had been getting very close to Lu Yan. Now that Yao ngqing had appeared in front of Gu Zheng to make her presence known, she definitely did not have good intentions.
Qiao Xi’s eyes sank, and her expression was troubled. “Young Master Lu is right. Even if I can’t do it, I won’t have anything to lose. If I can do it, I’ll receive many benefits. I really want to take this challenge.”
