Chapter 374 Danger
Jiang Zhiyue also helped Gu Zhaoye take care of the pony, but this "pony is not the same pony as before."
Qin Si's horse was as tall and mighty as he was. Jiang Zhiyue was restrained for a long time. With the help of the horse trainer, she finally calmed the restless horse.
"Why are you here?" Bai Ruofei's face was full of hostility. She walked forward quickly and stretched out her hand to push Jiang Zhiyue away.
Jiang Zhiyue didn't say anything, just handed over the reins in her hand.
Bai Ruofei's face froze. Qin Si's horse was notoriously fierce and violent. Even Qin Si himself had to spend a lot of effort to tame it.
Bai Ruofei didn't dare to take the reins, so she ordered the horse trainer beside her to step forward. The horse trainer looked embarrassed. Young Master Qin was well-known for his mysophobia, and anyone who dared to touch his things would be courting death.
Jiang Zhiyue's expression remained unchanged and she moved the reins closer.
"Jiang Zhiyue, you hateful illegitimate daughter!" Bai Ruofei felt pain in the palm of her hand, which was wrapped with a layer of gauze, reminding her all the time what happened not long ago.
"Do you feel impressive at the celebration? Yes, you are eloquent and stole the show. With your low status, you ruined the most grand celebration in this country. You must feel very proud!"
"So what? This cannot change the fact that you are an illegitimate daughter, even if your mother is..." the lowly maid of the Gu family.
Bai Ruofei was worried about this and didn't dare to speak out easily: "Your mother is the daughter of the Sheng family, but you are an illegitimate daughter. No matter how your identity changes, you are at the bottom of our circle."
"Do you understand? You are at the bottom. No matter how hard you try to change your fate, you are still at the bottom, just like them."
Bai Ruofei pointed at the female companions of the young masters and said contemptuously.
"The cheap clothes, tacky makeup, and hypocritical attitude are disgusting."
"It seems that you don't think there is anything shameful about what happened on the fencing field that day." Jiang Zhiyue smiled.
She has a calm demeanor and speaks in a soft Wu dialect, but she can make people very angry with just a few words.
Jiang Zhiyue handed the reins to Bai Yanzhu again, but unexpectedly Bai Yanzhu's eyes were full of tears. She looked at her with some grievance, covered her face, turned around and ran away.
As this scene took place in the distance, the man in the elegant white riding suit couldn't help but curl his lips.
There have always been many gatherings in the aristocratic circle, and Jiang Zhiyue's understanding of them is not comprehensive enough. At the end of each month and the change of seasons, there are hunting grounds in the wild, which are the dividing lines between several adjacent states.
A group of wild animals began to migrate.
At this time, the hunting activities would begin.
Young boys and girls have joined in to hunt for their own trophies. This activity is a test of courage and is intended to inspire a new generation of fighting spirit and adventure.
Jiang Zhiyue didn't know the details because Gu Zhaoye never participated in such activities. As the only son of the Gu family, his fighting spirit was aroused. He simply heard about the romantic scandal involving Gu's father and immediately told Mrs. Gu.
The pony he raised was something he had long forgotten about, except for the time he would look at it out of interest as a child.
Facing a crowd of different gazes, Jiang Zhiyue gently pulled the reins in her hand and led the horse in the opposite direction of the crowd.
Unfortunately, a cell phone rang suddenly, attracting everyone's attention again.
Caller ID: Chu Junyue.
Jiang Zhiyue took a look and felt a little numb on her scalp.
Just at this moment, there was another noise behind me, as if someone was walking over, and the noisy sounds around me instantly faded away like the tide.
Jiang Zhiyue tightened the reins with one hand and held the cell phone with the other.
She picked up the phone.
While talking on the phone, she walked quietly in a farther direction.
Occasionally, the horse will refuse to cooperate and insist on moving in the opposite direction.
Chu Junyue asked her where she was, and she told him truthfully that she was helping Qin Si feed the horses.
Obviously, the person on the other end was silent for a moment.
He didn't speak for a long time, and Jiang Zhiyue didn't speak either.
Even through the receiver, I could feel the girl's shallow breathing.
Chu Junyue was not a talkative person. His desk was piled with various documents. He leaned on the swivel chair next to the large mahogany desk.
The fingers, with distinct joints, tapped lightly on the table, and suddenly a crisp sound was made.
The beat, which was neither light nor heavy, seemed to be able to accurately hit the girl's atrium through the screen, and the rhythm just matched her heartbeat.
He didn't say anything, and when Jiang Zhiyue walked away, he was about to hang up the phone.
His voice sounded deep, "I'll be back in a few days."
When he said the word "come back", his tone became noticeably heavier, and his voice was filled with deep meaning.
Jiang Zhiyue wanted to end the call as quickly as possible. The further she walked, the closer the footsteps behind her became.
She paused while holding the phone, and couldn't help asking, "Are you done with your work?"
Chu Junyue fell silent again.
Inside the spacious and bright office, there is a vast snow scene outside the glass windows.
The sunlight reflected a ray of light, but the light could not leap into his eyes. The man's eyes were dark and gloomy.
His expression was normal, and he said, "There will be a birthday party for Mr. Sheng in a few days. I have chosen a gift for you."
"I'm ready." Jiang Zhiyue said in a gentle tone.
"It doesn't hurt to give one more gift." Chu Junyue's magnetic voice came slowly from the receiver, very steady.
He told her that Mr. Sheng would recognize her as a relative at the birthday party, and that he came back only to provide a support system by her side.
It was Jiang Zhiyue's turn to fall silent.
She opened her mouth and tried to persuade him to change his mind in a tactful way, but the words just wouldn't come out.
Chu Junyue seemed to be waiting for her reply.
And her silence was regarded by the man as a kind of tacit approval.
A slightly soft light gradually emerged in his eyes, and the majestic aura on his body dissipated a little, and even his voice became much lower and softer, "Did you miss me?"
"......." These words were like a thorn in my throat.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and seemed to be right behind her.
Not only Chu Junyue was waiting for her answer, but someone else was also waiting.
Jiang Zhiyue lowered her head and saw that her reflection on the ground had been completely covered by another tall figure.
Suddenly, a pair of hands hugged her waist from behind and pulled her close to him.
The man's strong chest pressed against her back, bringing a burning sense of power.
Qin Si's handsome face was expressionless, his eyes were as sharp as a sword, and he watched her reaction dimly.
"answer."
His cold voice brushed against her ears like a feather.
Qin Si was able to completely cover the girl's figure. Outsiders hadn't noticed this scene, but Jiang Zhiyue clearly sensed how dangerous this posture was.
She looked back in surprise, Qin Si met her clear gaze, raised his lips, and slowly smiled at her.
