Chen Rou first meets Nie Zhao because of an anti-terrorism case involving Hong Kong's wealthy elite. He is the richest man in Hong Kong for many years, and a renowned powerful figure. Even thou...
His attitude clearly shows how satisfied he is with his wife, with whom he was betrothed since childhood.
But his attitude alone is enough to make everyone strange. Nie Jiayu and Nie Jiajun, two immature teenagers, don't care about either of them, but whenever they are in public, as long as their mother is mentioned, they will give a thumbs up.
So, what Nie Jiayu just encountered was that after hearing that Chen Rou had come to the horse farm, the wife of the shipping magnate Bao family went downstairs to the grounds and shared the news with everyone.
Mrs. Bao, the wife of the shipping magnate Bao, felt that, putting aside everything else, just the tone with which Nie Jiayu spoke of his concubine showed that he had been subdued by Chen Rou after Mei Lu. Therefore, if she wanted to marry him, she would naturally have to get along well with Chen Rou.
Mrs. Wu, the seafood tycoon, had her eye on Nie Jiajun because he was chatting with a mainland guy as soon as he arrived, and didn't seem to care much about Chen Rou. She thought she would stop paying attention to Chen Rou and focus on the mainland guy.
Although everyone had their own thoughts, the ladies of each family, along with their young masters and misses, all craned their necks to watch, waiting for Chen Rou to arrive so they could see for themselves what her status in the Nie family really was.
Of course, Chen Rou was unaware of all this.
Today, besides wanting to meet Guo Fuzheng, she also genuinely wanted to ride a horse.
They practiced equestrianism while in the military, and later, as special police officers, they even received specialized equestrian training in Inner Mongolia. However, that was combat-oriented equestrianism, which is different from equestrianism that pursues extreme speed.
Moreover, they train Russian-style horses, which are quite different from the Arabian and English horses at the Hong Kong Racecourse.
She also wanted to ride some international horses and experience their charm.
Nie Jiajun was like this because Nie Jiayu hadn't mentioned it, so he didn't know Chen Rou was coming today. The reason he was willing to get along well with Guo Fuzheng was because when he came last time, Yu Zhengrong sent a group of police officers to the villa in Happy Valley to rescue (kidnap) Nie Yao. Chen Rou's decisive and ruthless skills impressed him greatly, and she admired the mainland, so he wanted to show her that.
The horse he was leading at that moment was the strongest, fastest, and most prize-winning horse in the Nie family's collection—Lightning. He was talking to Guo Fuzheng about Lightning's story when his gaze accidentally drifted back and he saw a woman in a beige suit, light blue skinny jeans, and knee-high boots striding toward him.
Equestrian attire typically includes long boots.
In Hong Kong's elite circles, the young wives who are former models are tall and have long legs, but they don't have much of a right to enter the private gatherings of elite members. The young men and women who come are those whose genes have been mixed twice, so they are inevitably shorter and have shorter legs.
But Chen Rou was different. Although she wasn't a model, she was tall enough and had incredibly long legs. Wearing a long whip and riding breeches, she strode confidently, and her figure was simply indescribable.
Leaving the lightning behind, Nie Jiajun ran towards her: "Xi Niang!"
He ran up to her and stood at attention. Chen Rou stopped as well, habitually slinging her riding crop behind her back: "Jiajun."
Nie Jiajun wasn't a soldier, but looking at Xi Niang's eyes and figure, he wanted to give her a military salute.
Of course, he only said, "Yes."
He added, "I bet you've never seen lightning before. Come on, let me tell you about it."
Although Nie Jiayu was born later and was the younger brother, he had his reasons. He shoved Nie Jiajun aside and said, "Get out! Grandpa gave Lightning to me a long time ago. It's my horse, so I should be the one to introduce it."
Nie Jiajun also pushed him, saying, "Get this straight, I'm the eldest grandson of the Nie family, your brother, you have to listen to me."
The ladies looked at each other, all thinking the same thing: if their daughters wanted to marry into the Nie family, they would first have to establish a relationship with Chen Rou.
However, Chen Rou, who used to be Mei Lu's go-to person, suddenly changed, making all the ladies unsure how to approach her. What should they do?
Looking at the two brothers in front of her, Chen Rou felt an increasing resonance with Nie Zhao thirty years later.
The richest family naturally needs an heir who is at least intellectually outstanding, but these two brothers are about to come of age, yet they are still naive and simple-minded, which is really a headache.
Even Nie Han said, "Xi Niang, hurry up and have a cute little baby. I get annoyed just looking at Jia Yu and Jia Jun. They've made me hate children."
Chen Rou asked Nie Han with a smile, "How was your horseback riding?"
The reason Nie Han was able to jump off a moving vehicle and roll so nimbly in the pirate park was because she had been learning and practicing horseback riding. She said, "Of course."
This was the first time Chen Rou had ever seen Lightning, and it was also the first horse she had seen since entering the horse farm. They hadn't interacted yet, but as the saying goes, the strong never complain about their environment; the strong only conquer their horses.
So while the Nie brothers were still arguing about who should teach Chen Rou to ride a horse, she had already mounted her horse and left.
"I'll run a lap first, Ah Han, come quick," she said.
