CHAPTER 341: 137 DID YOU REALLY FORGET?

The colt won against Fierce Wind; no matter how you look at it, this seemed like an unbelievable miracle.

It also successfully changed everyone’s perception of Shen You’an.

The girl in red returned on horseback, casually removing her helmet, revealing skin pale as frost, her facial features clear and striking under the blazing sun—the strands of her hair seemed to be shimmering.

On the racetrack, she was bold and fearless, confident and composed, completely unlike the Shen You’an who silently immersed herself in studying all the time.

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

Gu Bichen clapped his hands and said admiringly, "Such beautiful riding skills."

It’s no wonder Leng Yunyang always finds various reasons to cling to her. Her very presence is wrapped in intriguing mysteries. Every time you uncover one layer, thinking you’ve uncovered all of her, you realize it’s merely the tip of the iceberg.

Liu Runxi’s gentle gaze followed that dazzling red silhouette in the arena, his smile brighter than if he had won the competition himself.

"An’an, you’re amazing!" Gao Yuyue dashed over like an excited child, dancing and waving her hands exuberantly.

On the second-floor viewing platform not far away, a man had been standing by the glass window, watching for who knows how long. His narrow eyes were brimming with interest as they fixated on the girl in red encircled by the crowd. "Who is she?"

The assistant respectfully replied, "Lanya High School freshman, Shen You’an. She’s also Miss’s close friend."

With a smile, the man said, "This is the first time I’ve seen Yu’er care so much about a friend. Considering her personality, that’s quite rare."

"Indeed, Miss treats her exceptionally well. Some days ago, Shen You’an was isolated because she offended Mrs. Liu. Miss remained by her side, even picking her up and dropping her off at school daily. It seems Miss truly regards her as a genuine friend."

Gao Yuyue had always been aloof and eccentric, unable to connect with peers her age. Mrs. Gao had worried about it endlessly. Later, in school, her social relationships never improved. If not for the confidence provided by family status, her sharp tongue and unpredictable nature would have gotten her beaten up long ago.

Now it’s truly rare for her to have a friend she’s so devoted to.

The man narrowed his eyes, catching the key detail: "Offended Mrs. Liu? What happened?"

The assistant then carefully recounted the incident he was aware of.

The man sneered, "Does she truly think her Liu family is some prestigious household? They’re just a watchdog raised by the Wen family."

The assistant held his tongue, knowing it wasn’t his place to gossip about the affairs of the upper echelon.

The man’s gaze wandered back to the striking girl in the red as his lips curved faintly. "Mrs. Liu, coming from the Helian family and once mingling with the Sang family, surely gained some insight over the years. So why is her judgment so shortsighted? She looks down on others, but how does she know others wouldn’t look down on the Liu family in return?"

This girl exudes a certain nobility, coupled with extraordinary riding skills—a rare sight to behold.

If Yu’er regards her as a confidante, there must indeed be something remarkable about her.

Looking at the arena, Helian Yu’s son, Lan Man’s rebellious child, and that kid from the Leng family, they’re all revolving around her like moths to a flame. These young men and women truly are fascinating.

"This trip was worth it."

"President Ren, Mr. Xu and the others have arrived."

The man adjusted his cuffs, stole one last glance at the distant training ground, then retracted his gaze and strode away.

As he reached the door, he instructed his assistant: "Arrange a barbecue tonight at the Ranch Garden so Yu’er and her friends can enjoy themselves. As for accommodation—set it in Yuhua Pavilion."

The assistant raised his eyes in amazement but said nothing as the man departed far into the distance.

Upon hearing from the female manager that her uncle had arranged a barbecue at the Ranch Garden, Gao Yuyue waved her hand generously, declaring that everyone was welcome to join.

Gao Yuyue pulled Shen You’an to change clothes, both into casual outfits prepared by the female manager.

Xiao Ling clung to Luuo Yunqi’s hand and said, "Yunqi, we still have plenty of time—why rush back? I heard the barbecue at the Ranch Garden is super fun, and we don’t have class tomorrow. Why not stay and enjoy ourselves?"

Luuo Yunqi hadn’t expected Xiao Ling to be so thick-skinned. Not long ago, Gao Yuyue had whipped her with a riding crop, and here she was making a fool of herself again—if she stayed, she’d be utterly humiliated.

All her plans for the equestrian trip had fallen apart; she only wanted to leave as fast as possible.

"Mr. Jiang and Young Master Leng, God Liu—they’re all going. It’ll be boring if we head back. Why not join in the fun? As long as we don’t provoke Gao Yuyue, she won’t bother us," Xiao Ling persuaded.

Luuo Yunqi lowered her eyes to her perfectly manicured nails. After a long pause, she replied calmly, "Fine, let’s go."

Luuo Yunqi changed into her outfit and pulled aside the curtain, unexpectedly bumping directly into Shen You’an emerging from the opposite side.
