Chapter 715: 367 Evil Door (Second Update)
The second day, it was a rare sunny day.
Today was also the last day of the New Year’s Day holiday.
Early in the morning, the Rans’ servants began to get busy.
There used to be only two masters in the Rans’, but now there was one more. However, it was just one more mouth to feed.
After Ran Bowen’s death, all the servants had been replaced except for Butler Ran. They had heard of Ran Bowen but had never seen him. In their eyes, they only had one master, Ran Tengxiao. As for the daughter of the previous master, not many of them had any respect for her.
A mountain cannot hold two tigers.
The Rans’ mountain could only have one master.
When Ming Jing went downstairs, Ran Tengxiao was sitting at the dining table in the dining room, eating breakfast while listening to the radio.
The dining room had an eight-ter-long table, and outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was an endless racecourse. At this mont, servants were cleaning the lawn on the racecourse.
Ran Bowen sat at the head of the table, and the sunlight shone on him through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The young man’s handso face was as if carved by a knife.
Hearing footsteps, the man looked up at her.
“You’re up early.”
The current ti was 7:05 in the morning.
Ming Jing pulled out the chair opposite Ran Tengxiao and sat down. The servant asked, “Would the young lady prefer Chinese or Western breakfast?”
“Chinese, thank you.”
Soon her table was full of various Chinese breakfast dishes.
There were soy milk and doughnuts, porridge and buns, rice noodles and pancakes, all kinds of dishes from all over the country, making the simple breakfast look extravagant.
Ming Jing frowned, “Except for porridge and buns, please remove the rest.”
“Young lady, did you sleep well last night?”
“I slept well.”
“That’s good, so grandfather will be relieved.”
“There’s plenty of ti, after breakfast, let Xiao Hua show you around the estate. Get to know the environnt, and from now on, this is your ho.”
Ran Tengxiao picked up his napkin and wiped his mouth: “Young lady, take your ti. I have so matters to handle. We’ll have lunch together.”
Having said that, he stood up and left.
Ye Jian picked up the coat and quickly followed Ran Tengxiao out of the door.
Ming Jing looked away, slowly eating her breakfast.
“Young lady,” Xiao Hua yawned and walked up to her.
Ming Jing wiped her mouth and stood up, walked out of the living room, and laughed, “Did you see the person you wanted to see in your dream last night?”
Ming Jing stood behind the pillar, touching the indentation.
Hearing this, Xiao Hua’s eyes widened instantly: “Young lady, you’re amazing! I really dread of her, and her eyes look so much like yours!”
“Is that so?”
Ming Jing smiled faintly: “What kind of person was she?”
Xiao Hua stared at Ming Jing’s side face. Under the morning light, the girl’s skin seed as transparent as crystal, delicate and vulnerable.
“She’s a very gentle person, especially kind. I’ve never t an aunt as gentle and easy to talk to as her. When I was with her…”
Xiao Hua closed her eyes, feeling the warmth of the sun on her cheeks.
“It felt like being bathed in a spring breeze, just like the feeling the young lady gives.”
Xiao Hua took a deep breath: “Even your scents are similar.”
An idea flashed through Xiao Hua’s mind, and she suddenly thought of an incredible possibility.
Could the young lady be the daughter of Yu Jiang and Master Wen?
She was frightened by her own thoughts.
Ming Jing turned around and walked down the side stairs.
Xiao Hua stared at Ming Jing’s retreating figure, her white skirt casting silver ripples in the morning light, like a blooming lotus as she walked.
How could she think of such a thing?
How could the young lady possibly be Yu Jiang’s daughter? When Yu Jiang ca to Master Wen’s side, the young lady was almost two years old.
It’s probably just a coincidence.
Ming Jing walked around the racecourse, revisiting old places. The blue sky was still the sa, and the mountains in the distance stood tall in the morning light.
In the stables, a horse suddenly bolted out. The horse trainer, who was feeding hay, was startled. This horse was usually the most honest one. How could it suddenly go crazy like this? He quickly dropped what he was holding and chased after it.
But the horse ran too fast, and within the blink of an eye, it was more than ten ters away.The horse master quickly rode a horse to catch up.
Seeing that the horse was about to hit soone, one of them recognized her as the little daughter of Butler Ran. The horse master turned pale with fright and shouted urgently, “Get out of the way, get out of the way, the horse is out of control!”
If anything happened to Butler Ran’s daughter, his ten lives wouldn’t be enough to compensate.
Xiao Hua saw the charging horse and her legs went weak with fear.
The horse was moving fast, charging ahead without giving the opponent a chance to react.
In the winter morning, a gentle breeze blew, the temperature slightly ward up, yet one’s breath still transford into a white mist.
The young girl in a white dress stood on the green lawn, making the white dress seem even more pure and white as snow. Her sleeves fluttered in the wind, giving her an ethereal air.
Without panicking, the girl stood there calmly, becoming the most beautiful scenery in the quiet winter morning.
She curled up her right thumb, placed it by her lips, and suddenly a sharp whistling sound pierced the silence of the sky, breaking the tranquility of the racetrack.
The crazed horse was about to collide with Ming Jing when it heard the whistle. The horse instantly raised its front hooves, neighing loudly, like a sword piercing the mist, finally welcoming the dawn.
The horse raised its hooves high, and Xiao Hua almost felt the breath from the horse’s mouth on her face, mixed with the sll of grass, sowhat nauseating.
Then, the horse put down its front hooves, walked gently to Ming Jing, lowered its head, and nudged her palm affectionately.
Ming Jing smiled and touched the horse’s head: “Yufeng, even you have aged.”
Xiao Hua stared in shock: “Miss, how do you know its na is Yufeng?”
The horse master jumped off his horse, quickly walked over to take Yufeng away. Yufeng snorted uneasily.
“You damned hoof, what’s the point in running around? Go back with honestly.” The horse master scolded.
Ming Jing said faintly, “Let go.”
The horse master glared at her: “Be careful, this horse is very strange. Watch out that it doesn’t hurt you. I’m warning you out of kindness.”
Xiao Hua rolled her eyes: “What nonsense, the horse is as obedient as a quail in front of Miss.”
Yufeng moved closer to Ming Jing, raising its head. In its eyes, Xiao Hua saw a hint of grievance.
This horse had a spiritual nature.
“Miss?” The horse master was taken aback, took a closer look at her, and rembered her performance in last year’s horse race.
Who would have thought that the president of the Jockey Club would turn into the young lady of the Rans?
It was said that she had a unique way of taming horses, and even Yufeng, which had always been difficult, was obedient in front of her now.
Ming Jing smiled and touched Yufeng: “You said it’s strange, what’s strange about it?”
The horse master’s attitude improved a lot, “This is an old horse. It usually doesn’t get along with others, doesn’t let people touch it, nor ride it. Master Xiao cannot even manage it. It’s more arrogant than a princess, but for so reason, Master Xiao insists on keeping it.”
And it’s well fed and taken care of. Strange, isn’t it?
But even more peculiar, besides the aforentioned problems, this old horse is usually very obedient. It stays quietly in the stables, sunbathing, sleeping, and enjoying an early retirent life.
But this morning it suddenly went wild.
And then, it encountered the young lady of the Rans.
Xiao Hua said, “I know Yufeng. It has been with the Rans since I was little. It was very fierce when it first arrived, and it seems like Aunt Yu Jiang…”
Xiao Hua imdiately shut her mouth, turning pale. This na was taboo in the Rans’ house.
If Master Xiao heard her, she would be dead.
The horse master instinctively asked, “Yu Jiang, what?”
This was the first ti he had heard this na.
“Never mind, Miss, Yufeng seems to like you a lot.”
Ming Jing touched Yufeng’s head and suddenly leapt onto its back, gracefully and effortlessly, leaving Xiao Hua dumbfounded.
The horse master was also stunned. Yufeng didn’t let anyone ride it. Except for the saddle, it had no other equipnt. The young lady had mounted it without any help, a very impressive move.
Ming Jing tugged gently at the reins, and Yufeng raised its front hooves high, neighing loudly.
In the morning light, the young girl sat upright on the horse, her white skirt flying like a dance, her beautiful face covered with a thin layer of frost, exuding a refreshing coldness. In the sunlight, she looked stunningly beautiful.
“Yufeng, it’s been more than ten years. Let see if you’ve lost any of your skills.”
Yufeng neighed in response and galloped forward, with Ming Jing giving free rein. In an instant, they were far away.
The figure of the girl in white sitting on the horse’s back was slender but unparalleled, soft yet firm.
Not far behind the flower bed, a man stared intently at the white figure on the racetrack, his clenched hands with bulging veins on the back.
Ye Jian did not dare to remind him.
Just as Master Xiao was about to leave the estate, he suddenly ordered to turn back. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw the scene.
This young lady of the Rans seed to be an enigma.
