Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Thunder, true to its fiery temperament, sensed someone on its back and immediately snorted, restlessly pawing the ground, tossing its body, seemingly eager to dislodge Jiang Yining.
Mr. Manchester, observing Jiang Yining on Thunder, expressed his concerns, “Miss Jiang is a young lady and may not handle Thunder well. Ah Zhi, you should advise her to dismount to avoid any injuries.”
Luna seized the opportunity to mock, “Yes, don’t risk your life just to win the race.”
Lu Zhi, of course, worried about Jiang Yining too but had more faith in her abilities. If she wasn’t confident, she wouldn’t have attempted it.
“Yining can do as she pleases. 1 won’t hinder her,” Lu Zhi calmly replied.
With his endorsement, no one else could interfere. Mr. Manchester decided not to say anything further.
Luna was enjoying the show, confident that Jiang Yining wouldn’t be compelled to ride Thunder. If she fell and got hurt, it was her own responsibility.
Jiang Yining was entirely focused on sensing Thunder’s rhythm and paid no attention to the disparaging remarks around her.
When Thunder calmed down a bit, she cracked her riding whip.
Thunder went into a frenzy and shot forward like lightning. Jiang Yining’s slender body bounced back and forth, appearing on the verge of being thrown off.
Lu Zhi’s heart raced, but he remained composed, calmly following the petite figure.
Several times, Jiang Yining nearly got thrown off by Thunder, but she clung firmly to the reins, stubbornly staying in the saddle.
Thunder galloped madly on the racetrack but, realizing it couldn’t shake Jiang Yining, it angrily stamped its hooves and nearly reared up.
Jiang Yining held the reins with both hands and then gave Thunder a light flick with her whip, chuckling, “You think you can throw me off? There’s no horse out there that can manage that. Behave and listen, I’ll give you some good grass later.”
Thunder spread its hooves and continued to run. After a couple of laps, it started to tire and came to a stop, allowing Jiang Yining to ride it.
Controlling Thunder, Jiang Yining approached Lu Zhi and proudly said, “See, it’s obedient now, right? There’s nothing in this world that 1 can’t do.”
At this moment, she seemed like a lazy cat, showing off to its owner.
Lu Zhi chuckled and replied, “You did well.”
He relaxed the hand he had clenched into a fist by his side.
Jiang Yining glanced at Luna.
Luna, with a disdainful expression, looked away.
Taming Thunder didn’t necessarily prove that Jiang Yining had exceptional equestrian skills. Luna was convinced that Vinnie would outrun her.
In the racecourse, after a few rounds, the results were already clear. The atmosphere became increasingly lively, and at that moment, the announcer stepped forward, specifically naming the next race between House of Austin’s daughter, Vinnie, and Jiang Yining from China.
The crowd reacted with a stir.
Everyone knew Vinnie was an exceptional equestrian, and she could have represented the country in the Olympics if not for her noble birth.
As for Jiang Yining, where did she even come from? Many hadn’t even heard of her!
Who on earth gave her the audacity to challenge Vinnie in a race? She’s way out of her league!
Before the race even began, almost everyone believed that Vinnie was a sure winner. They waved their little flags and cheered for her.
Jiang Yining and Vinnie suited up in protective gear, mounted their horses, and made their way to the starting line. Amid the resounding cheers, a young voice rang out.
“Go, Sister Yining! You will definitely win!”
Jiang Yining looked over to see Abby standing by Lu Zhi, shouting with her young voice to cheer for her. Lu Zhi’s dark eyes were fixed on her as he shouted, “Jiang Yining, first place is yours for sure!”
Jiang Yining smiled slightly and responded, “I will win, Sister!”
Next to them, Vinnie heard what she said and sneered, “Winning or losing isn’t determined by talking big. It’s about skills.”
“Indeed.”
Vinnie hesitated for a moment and said, “1 know you’re Lu Zhi’s wife, but I am determined to have Lu Zhi. After I win this race, I want you to lend him to me for two days.”
Jiang Yining hadn’t expected this kind of demand from Vinnie, but she retorted, “Alright, we can talk about it when you win.”
As soon as those words were spoken, the referee fired a gunshot, and the race officially began!
Jiang Yining and Vinnie both raised their riding crops high in the air almost simultaneously..
