Tang Yuxiu nodded slightly, then leaned over to look at Sheng Ting and smiled, "We meet again."
Qiao Xiangrong's expression changed again, and he suddenly looked at Sheng Ting, his gaze shifting back and forth between the two.
“Mr. Tang…” Sheng Ting recalled what Zhou Ran had said, and she couldn’t help but look at Tang Yuxiu again.
No matter how you look at it, Tang Yuxiu doesn't seem like that kind of person.
"Okay, you guys have fun. If you need anything, you can come find me," Tang Yuxiu said, then spurred his horse and rode back.
The group of friends immediately surrounded him, "Yu Xiu, so, which family's young master Qiao brought along?"
"What business is it of yours which family's daughter we're from? We're here to ride horses, not to fool around. Are we still going to have a race or not?" Tang Yuxiu lifted his eyelids and glanced at the group.
Seeing that Tang Yuxiu seemed a little displeased, everyone wisely refrained from asking further questions.
They assumed that Tang Yuxiu had simply approached the beautiful woman to chat her up, only to be rejected, and was therefore in a bad mood.
However, Tang Yuxiu's behavior was also out of a certain sense of protection for Sheng Ting.
Unlike Tang Yuxiu's friends, Qiao Xiangrong's friends directly inquired about Sheng Ting's family background.
Qiao Xiangrong didn't think much of it, he just mentioned that Muqing was the manager of the clothing store.
Sheng Ting didn't feel ashamed of her identity. She greeted Qiao Xiangrong's friends generously and then casually promoted Muqing Clothing Store.
But this only earned him a lot of disdain from everyone.
It just wasn't clearly visible.
Then someone came and called Qiao Xiangrong away, saying that someone wanted to discuss a business deal with him.
Upon hearing that it was a business meeting, Sheng Ting quickly sent Qiao Xiangrong off.
He himself was leading the horse around in circles.
Several women saw Sheng Ting alone, and after exchanging a few words, they suddenly rode their horses over to her.
"Get out of the way!"
They were deliberately targeting Sheng Ting.
The people around watched the scene with great interest.
Sheng Ting's face turned ashen as she watched several horses charge toward her.
Just as her horse went out of control and dragged her along, its head hitting the ground, a strong hand suddenly pulled her up, and a sharp dagger flashed out, cutting the rope wrapped around Sheng Ting's feet.
Then he moved the person in front of him and ran with them for a distance.
A commotion broke out here, and Qiao Xiangrong and his men had already run over.
Just then, Qiao Xiangrong saw Tang Yuxiu running with Sheng Ting, and his expression turned grim. He then strode over and asked, "Tingting, are you alright?"
"Brother Qiao!"
Still in shock, Sheng Ting lunged at Qiao Xiangrong.
But a hand firmly gripped her waist, and a deep, cold voice came: "Want to fall to your death?"
Sheng Ting dared not move.
Tang Yuxiu picked the person up and put him down.
Qiao Xiangrong frowned slightly when he saw the two acting intimately. He reached out and took Sheng Ting from him, saying, "Thank you, Uncle Tang, for saving Tingting."
Tang Yuxiu reined in the horse, his voice calm: "Now that you've brought them here, keep a close eye on them. Don't let anything happen and everyone else be held responsible."
These words sounded like someone burning with anger.
Qiao Xiangrong froze for a moment, then said, "Thank you, I will be careful."
Tang Yuxiu glanced at Sheng Ting, then rode away.
The silence at the scene was then broken.
"Brother Qiao, I'm sorry, I just..."
"Are you alright?" Qiao Xiangrong's brows were still furrowed, and he looked angry.
Sheng Ting pursed her lips and shook her head: "I'm fine."
"Don't ride a horse today, come sit with me," Qiao Xiangrong said, helping her walk forward.
A stylishly dressed woman walked over. "Xiangrong, is your girlfriend alright?"
Upon hearing the other person address Qiao Xiangrong in that way, Sheng Ting couldn't help but glance at him.
Upon seeing the other person's appearance, Sheng Ting was taken aback.
She is very beautiful and has a great temperament.
It turns out the person I was talking to about business was a woman.
Sheng Ting whispered, "Brother Qiao, I'll sit over there and wait for you."
“Okay,” Qiao Xiangrong replied, “When it comes to business, I can’t think of anything else.”
Seeing that Sheng Ting had walked to another seat without any problems, he stopped paying attention and focused all his attention on business.
Upon seeing this, the woman smiled.
Sheng Ting sat there, quietly watching Qiao Xiangrong, who was engrossed in his work. Qiao Xiangrong was undoubtedly attractive, but... she felt that she wasn't as happy as she had imagined this time.
Just then, someone brought over a bottle of beverage and some medicine.
"I didn't order any of these..."
The waiter said, "This was specially ordered for you by Mr. Tang. Please enjoy."
The beverage is at room temperature, which is perfect for this time of year.
As for the ointment, Sheng Ting held it in her hand.
Her ankles were wrapped with rope, leaving a ring of marks.
Although it hurt, it was within her tolerance level.
Sheng Ting lowered her eyes and pursed her lips.
Looking up again, Qiao Xiangrong was chatting and laughing with that woman, completely unaware of her presence.
Sheng Ting took a deep breath and carefully pulled up her trouser leg, revealing a ring of marks around her trousers that had already broken and bled.
Tang Yuxiu brought some ointment, which is very beneficial for this kind of injury.
At this moment, Sheng Ting's feelings were somewhat complicated.
