On the vast, U-shaped racecourse, not to mention others, even the Nie Jiayu brothers were all dumbfounded.
But Nie Jiajun snapped out of his daze and immediately slapped his thigh: "Oh no, he's suddenly shy around strangers."
Nie Jiayu shouted, "Chase them!"
Nie Jiajun shoved him: "You stay here, you coward, I'll go after them."
Lightning was purchased by Nie Rong, reportedly for two million, but over the years it has earned Nie Rong nearly twenty million in prize money from various competitions.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, it was ridden by a stranger. Its first instinct, of course, was to resist. It galloped away, kicking up its heels. Chen Rou firmly planted her feet on the stirrups, and as it kicked up its heels, she thrust her body backward. Then, as it raised its two front hooves, she suddenly lunged forward, and it began to run wildly. She lashed out with her whip, cracking it several times.
Nie Jiajun chased after them and was shocked. Lightning had a fiery temper and would definitely get angry if he was hit. He would become even more frantic and start throwing people around. What if Xi Niang got thrown off and then stomped on?
"Whoa, whoa~" he shouted as he ran.
Although he worked out, being a rich young master, his physical fitness wasn't good. He was out of breath after running only a few steps and couldn't run anymore. Nie Jiayu caught up with him, shouting, "Lightning, hurry up and make your decision, phew, phew~"
No sooner said than done, Lightning, its rear end stung from the whip, grew angry and braced itself for another round of lashing. But just as it was about to strike its right hind leg, Chen Rou immediately whipped its right rump. When she tried to strike its left hind leg, Chen Rou swiftly reversed her hand and lashed out with her left leg. Lightning was galloping, and she was whipping it. Poor Lightning was beaten into submission.
It was indeed fast enough to live up to its name as lightning.
While Nie Jiayu and his brothers were still shouting and yelling on the field, Chen Rou had already finished her lap and returned.
There is no horse that cannot be tamed, nor an eagle that cannot be subdued. If you can't handle it, there is only one reason: you are not capable enough.
Animals are naturally more beastly, fear the strong, and like to bully the weak. So, as a true strong person, Chen Rou tamed the wild horse after running a lap. She pulled the reins across and stopped next to Nie Han. She said, "Get on the horse, let's run a lap together."
Nie Han was originally very confident and wanted to show Xi Niang her horsemanship today. After all, although Chen Rou often stayed at the Nie family, as an outsider, she was not qualified to ride the Nie family's horses. In Nie Han's opinion, the only thing she could rival Xi Niang in was probably horsemanship.
But after watching Xi Niang complete a lap, she realized that her own horsemanship was about the horse bouncing and jumping around her, while Xi Niang's horse was about killing people even without a carriage or a gun, just a horse and a whip.
She mounted her horse and said, "Xiniang, I'm timid, let's run slowly."
Chen Rou pulled on the reins and patted the horse's rump: "Lightning, this lap is just a stroll, a slow trot."
Having been beaten into submission, Lightning became obedient this time, slowing down as soon as she was told to, and riding with Nie Han at a ladylike pace.
Not to mention seeing Chen Rou subdue a horse, and how long the other ladies and young women would gossip about it today, Guo Fuzheng was entering the legendary Happy Valley Racecourse for the first time. He was shocked by the grandeur and luxury of the place, and was also surprised to find out how the real Hong Kong tycoons lived such a decadent life.
It's like a mouse falling into a rice jar, or a squirrel falling into a peanut field; it's dazzled.
Finally, he stumbled toward Nie Jiajun and pointed at Chen Rou: "Is that your third wife?"
Nie Jiajun tried his best to be friendly, saying, "You can call her Xi Niang, just like we do."
Guo Fuzheng's mouth gaped open, and he nodded seriously: "Oh."
The current mobile phones are still very bulky, but in order to make them easier to carry, there are special belts for securing them.
When Chen Rou was little, she found it most ridiculous to see people with pagers or cell phones strapped to their waists, but now she's no exception. In order to answer calls anytime, anywhere, she also straps her mobile phone to her waist.
Because she was waiting for Wan Daozai to call again, she would take off her mobile phone every now and then to check if she had missed any calls, but she didn't know what was going on with Wan Daozai. Until now, he hadn't called again.
After riding another lap, Chen Rou was thoroughly satisfied. She then dismounted and patted the horse on the shoulder to Nie Jiajun, saying, "This is indeed a fine horse."
Nie Jiajun asked with a smile, "Isn't the sense of speed amazing?"
This is an Arabian horse with a long, beautiful neck, slender limbs, and well-developed tendons. It is a truly powerful horse. It won't be able to run its best in the first one or two laps. It needs to run seven or eight laps before it can really pick up speed.
Chen Rou gave a thumbs up: "It's really great."
Mrs. Bao, the wife of the shipping magnate, brought her daughter, who was carrying a tray, intending to try and build a relationship with Chen Rou. However, just as Mrs. Bao was about to step forward, Guo Fuzheng suddenly stepped in front of her, blocking her way.
Mrs. Bao was short, and he completely blocked her view.
Then, turning around, Guo Fuzheng asked with a smile, "Mrs. Nie, haven't you considered getting a new phone?"
With another snap, he flipped open the phone case on his waist and pulled out his flip phone: "Like this one."
Currently, this flip phone is still in the internal sales phase. Since it was developed by Americans, it will be sold in the US first. However, the electronics company established by Nie Zhao and Wade in Hong Kong is its pan-Asia Pacific distributor. Therefore, Chen Rou will be able to get this phone in the next few days. Moreover, it is not a purely English phone, but one with Chinese display function.
So she said, "No, thank you."
In any era, there are always some people who believe in one truth: relationships.
Take Guo Fuzheng, for example.
From the beginning, he clung to Nie Jiajun's coattails smoothly, but now that he has achieved his goal, it's time for him to cling to Chen Rou's coattails, and he is using his usual tricks.
He said, "If you want, you can just say so. I have connections with Motorola in the United States."
Chen Rouke became interested when he started talking about relationships.
In her past life, she was a special forces soldier and a special police officer. Both of those professions are ones that only people who are exceptionally powerful can get close to. And even people who are powerful enough wouldn't dare to try to get close to her.
But frankly, as a mainland Chinese, what she hates most are people who constantly claim to have connections.
She smiled and said, "It seems this young master is a big shot with many connections."
Guo Fuzheng waved his hand and said, "It's so-so in Hong Kong, but in the mainland, my family's connections are exceptionally strong, whether in the military or political circles. If you have any problems in the mainland, just come to me. There's nothing I can't handle."
When it came to the military, Chen Rou became even more interested: "Your family has connections in the military, what about in the South China Sea?"
Guo Fuzheng said, "Of course, the commander is my uncle."
Unfortunately, Nie Zhao's direct contact person was always the commander.
Moreover, the commander's surname is not Guo, but Wang. She has a son named Wang Baodao, who is a subordinate of her father Chen Ke. He is incredibly brave and fearless in battle.
So, is Chen Rou's situation today a case of the real deal meeting a fake?
