The true heiress returns, and at the recognition banquet, Lu Anning publicly rejects the marriage, only to be sent to a man's bed by her "loving" mother.

"Just accept your fat...

Chapter 321 Can't afford to lose

An accident happened at the racecourse, and Gu Yue came forward and invited everyone to have dinner in the restaurant.

When Lu Anning and Tang Jingyuan came out, they happened to see Lu Yunxi being carried by Gu Yue. The two looked at each other and found it a little funny.

Nothing happened to her, but Lu Yunxi was the first to act pretentiously.

After everyone sat down, Liang Yong took the lead in asking about Lu Anning's injury.

"An Ning, are you okay? This is all my fault. I shouldn't have agreed to let you compete. Horseback riding is a dangerous sport. If something happens to you, I won't be able to answer to the Third Master!"

Lu Anning smiled humbly. "Director Liang, what are you talking about? I chose the horse myself, and we agreed to the race. How can I blame you? I'm fine. It's just a minor scratch. It's nothing serious."

"That's good."

Liang Yong felt relieved, but at this moment, Lu Yunxi next to him cried out, which successfully attracted everyone's attention.

Gu Yue asked nervously, "What's wrong? Where does it hurt?"

Lu Yunxi looked aggrieved: "I'm fine. Big brother, it's all my fault for being so useless. I twisted my ankle even on a horse. I've brought shame to our family."

"How could that be! Don't think too much about it, no one is laughing at you."

Liang Yong smiled and said, "Miss Gu is already riding very well. What happened today was just an accident. No one can be blamed. I'm glad everyone is okay. It was a close call. Otherwise, I would be the sinner."

After some chatting and laughing, the atmosphere at the table was still quite lively. However, no one mentioned the issue of accountability, as if they were planning to let the matter go. Lu Anning looked up at Gu Yue.

In today's incident, if it was Lu Yunxi's horse that was hit, Gu Yue would probably have held someone accountable long ago.

"It's strange, but just as I was about to reach the finish line, a mineral water bottle cap flew out and hit my horse. Logically, such things shouldn't appear on the racecourse. Mr. Gu, what do you think?"

Since Gu Yue doesn't want to mention it, let her start it.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions froze and they all looked at Gu Yue.

The entire manor belongs to the Gu family. If they really want to hold someone accountable, Gu Yue must come forward and give an explanation.

"Besides, the bet is made. Even though there was an accident, the game is over. Shouldn't there be a final decision on who wins and who loses? Otherwise, this scare I endured would have been in vain."

Lu Yunxi's eyes dodged: "Didn't an accident happen at that time? In such a situation, how can we calculate the result?"

Lu Yunxi's voice was not loud, but it happened to be heard by everyone, and everyone looked at her.

She was the one who suggested the competition in the first place, and now she is saying this again. Doesn't she want to acknowledge the result of the competition?

Gu Yue frowned, glanced at Lu Yunxi beside him, and said nothing.

Lu Anning lowered her eyes: "Miss Gu, can't you afford to lose?"

"Your horse got spooked before the race was even over, so of course this result doesn't count. Who knows if someone deliberately caused this accident because they were afraid of losing, and then they'll accuse others of cheating in the end."

This is exactly what Lu Anning was waiting for!

"The manor belongs to the Gu family. Could they possibly let someone else take advantage of it? Since Miss Gu has said so, Mr. Gu must give an explanation. As for the outcome of the race, there are surveillance cameras at the racecourse! At that time, I had already crossed all the obstacles and was some distance ahead of Miss Gu. The winner was obvious. Director Liang, what do you think?"

Liang Yong witnessed the entire process, and given his status, he was more than qualified to give a fair result.

She was still worried about the reason why the Gu family didn't want to mention the accident, but unexpectedly, Lu Yunxi brought it up herself.

Only then did Lu Yunxi realize that she had been fooled. Liang Yong was still here. If she continued to argue, it would only affect the credibility of the Gu family in front of everyone.

She tried to defend herself, but before she could open her mouth, she was stopped by Gu Yue.

He pinched Lu Yunxi's wrist and signaled her to stop talking.

Tang Jingyuan smiled calmly, "Miss Gu probably can't make the decision. Mr. Gu, you wouldn't let your sister almost get hurt in your own territory and do nothing, right?"

Everyone looked at Gu Yue. He had to give everyone a satisfactory answer to the accident at the horse farm.

He cleared his throat and said, "Of course! After the incident, I immediately had someone retrieve the surveillance footage. This incident was indeed an accident."

Gu Yue explained that a man who collected used water bottles happened to be there at the time. He had simply tried to flatten the bottle containing the phone to fit more inside, as usual, but he hadn't anticipated the cap flying off and hitting the black horse that Lu Anning was riding.

"This guy is really pitiful. Someone in his family is seriously ill and needs expensive medical expenses. In addition to work, he also contracted the waste recycling here. He was also scared at the time. After learning about the situation, Yaoyao and I both felt that since no one was hurt, we should not make things difficult for them. It's not easy for them to make a living."

Lu Yunxi pretended to be sad: "This person's family is too pitiful. I don't want to pursue responsibility. Anyway, I was only slightly injured. If Mrs. Tang still wants to hold me accountable or ask for compensation, I am willing to personally pay for it."

But everyone knows that the Tang family is not short of this money.

Lu Anning guessed that they would find a scapegoat, but he didn't expect that they would come up with such an excuse.

In front of Liang Yong, Lu An Ning naturally couldn't bring himself to embarrass an innocent person.

She stared at Lu Yunxi and didn't speak for a long time.

Gu Yue was the first to break the silence. "No matter what, the manor was poorly managed, and we are definitely responsible for this incident. As compensation, from now on, when Young Master San and Madam Tang come again, all expenses will be waived. How about that?"

Tang Jingyuan didn't say anything, so Liang Yong on the side had to smile and try to smooth things over.

"How about everyone just give me some face and let this matter go. As for the bet, I know what's going on. Later, I will give priority to the project proposal proposed by JK."

Lu Yunxi's face turned pale, and she still wanted to fight for the Gu family, but was held down by Gu Yue and shook her head.

She was so angry that she had to give up.

Lu An Ning curled his lips and glanced at Lu Yunxi, the smile in his eyes deepening.
