“He’s not a monstrous beast in a flood, he’s a human.”
Zhao Qin stared at Ming Jing’s beautiful and calm side profile, suddenly leaning closer to her: “You might as well marry my cousin, become my sister-in-law, and then you can walk sideways in Jiangzhou without any issue.”
“Does your cousin know you’re so worried about his lifelong affair?”
Zhao Qin smiled and said, “He’ll thank me for it.”
Ming Jing flicked her whip on Zhao Qin’s horseback, causing Zhao Qin’s horse to suddenly leap forward. Zhao Qin cursed on the horse, “Zhu Mingjing, you bastard…!”
Ming Jing leisurely urged her horse on, looking at the distant horizon and squinting her eyes slightly.
A horse rushed headlong toward them, the girl on the horse swayed from side to side, her voice hoarse as she cried for help.
The horse was out of control!
The girl on the horse was on the brink of collapse, and she would soon be thrown off the horse. The consequences would be unimaginable if that happened. Not far behind her, a young man was catching up on his horse.
Ming Jing decisively urged her horse to go over and as they brushed past the out-of-control horse, she reached out and grabbed the waist of the girl on the horse. The girl let out a scream of terror and was placed horizontally on the horse with her head facing down.
Peng Jie stared at the red-clothed girl riding towards them in amazement. The world suddenly lost its colors and only the charming figure of that girl endured forever.
Ming Jing took the girl off the horseback and said to Peng Jie, “Watch her.”
She turned her horse around, spurred it forward, and went to chase the runaway horse.
The safety officer at the riding track arrived with sweat on his forehead, looking at the back of the girl in the red dress and exclaiming, “It’s Miss Zhu again! She’s like a living goddess of our riding field.”
Peng Jie was taken aback, “Miss Zhu?”
“Yeah, is there anyone in Jiangzhou who doesn’t know Miss Zhu? Last time she came here, she tamed the out-of-control Violent Wind and saved young Master Xiao from the Rans. She ran into it again this time. Miss Liu, you’re so lucky.”
Liu Yuerong took deep breaths, still in shock from her ordeal. Hearing these words, she frowned, “Surname Zhu? Could it be Zhu Mingjing?”
“Yes, I see Miss Liu knows about her.”
Liu Yuerong sneered, “How could I not know? She’s quite famous.”
The biggest gossip in Jiangzhou lately was the love affair between Shen Zhou and Zhu Mingjing. Her aunt was desperately obsessed with Shen Zhou, but couldn’t win his attention and eventually turned to a young security guard, which led to a constant low-pressure atmosphere at home recently.
She had long heard about Zhu Mingjing’s reputation and how she was even famous at Jiangzhou University. She didn’t expect to run into her here.
She must get justice for her aunt and find out what kind of vixen could entice Shen Zhou.
Peng Jie sighed, “So it’s Miss Zhu.”
Only a figure like the renowned Zhu Mingjing could explain that demeanor.
Liu Yuerong saw his infatuated gaze and her jealousy deepened.
“Oh, I wonder who it is. It’s Miss Liu.” Zhao Qin saw the scene from far away, Ming Jing saving Liu Yuerong. Who does this woman think she’s showing her face to by coming here?
Liu Yuerong was surprised to see Zhao Qin and asked, “Why are you here?”
“What, Miss Liu, are you surprised to see me?” Zhao Qin played with her whip, her expression halfway between laughter and seriousness.
Liu Yuerong bit her lip, Zhu Mingjing was just a businessman’s daughter, and businessmen had no power, only smelly money. Her Liu family was different, her aunt was Mrs. Gu’s sister-in-law, and this relationship made her Liu family have a unique status in Jiangzhou.
She always thought highly of herself, but Zhao Qin was an untouchable existence in Jiangzhou.
No other reason than her cousin, Ran Tengxiao. The Rans were ruthless and would do anything to get what they wanted. In Jiangzhou, they had the world at their feet, and even her aunt had to call Master Xiao politely when she met him.
This Zhao Qin, who is notorious for her arrogance among the socialites, had conflicts with Liu Yuerong back in Shengde High School. When Liu Yuerong was in her senior year, Zhao Qin was a freshman. Unaware of Zhao’s identity, Liu confronted her, which resulted in constant crises at her family’s company, her father’s leg being broken and hospitalized for a month. It was only after her aunt’s strenuous mediation that they were spared from disaster. By that time, Liu had learned that Zhao Qin was someone you must not mess with. She had no bottom line and would always outdo her opponents.
Liu Yuerong pursed her lips and turned to leave when she saw Ming Jing riding her horse towards her with Violent Wind following closely behind.
Peng Jie immediately walked over and enthusiastically said, “Ms. Zhu, thank you so much for just now. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Yuerong, hurry up and thank Ms. Zhu. If she hadn’t saved you, you’d be in the hospital right now.”
Liu Yuerong frowned and reluctantly walked over, saying dryly, “Thank you.”
Ming Jing dismounted and handed the horse to the security guard, “This horse has been stressed. Take it back and check it carefully.”
The security guard thanked her respectfully and was reminded of something, “Ms. Zhu, our equestrian club is hosting an annual equestrian competition at the end of October. Your riding skills are outstanding, and you shouldn’t let your talent go to waste. Are you interested in participating?”
With Ms. Zhu endorsing the competition, it will definitely be a huge success. Advertising revenue alone will bring them a fortune.
Ming Jing smiled, “I’m sorry, but I’m not interested.”
“There’s a one-million-dollar prize for the winner,” he blurted out before realizing his mistake.
As the heiress of the Zhu family, would they ever lack money?
Zhao Qin encouraged, “Ming Jing, just accept it. Your riding skills are so good, don’t waste them. I’ll cheer for you.”
Ming Jing glanced at Zhao Qin, seemingly seeing through her little trick. Zhao Qin rubbed her nose and looked away.
Ming Jing’s gaze was more frightening than X-rays. Did she find out?
Impossible.
Ming Jing didn’t immediately refuse this time but said, “I’ll think about it.”
The organizer immediately smiled, exchanged a quick glance with Zhao Qin, and happily retreated to the side.
“Hey, Zhu Mingjing, what’s the deal between you and Shen Zhou?” Liu Yuerong stood in front of Ming Jing, determined to stand up for her aunt.
Ming Jing raised an eyebrow, “Do you want to know?”
“What do you mean? Are you really having an affair with Shen Zhou? You must be shameless…”
Ming Jing hooked the corner of her lips, her gentle smile made Zhao Qin even more delighted.
“Miss, please watch your words. Trouble comes from the mouth.”
“If you really want to know my relationship with Mr. Shen, meet me at Yunmeng Villa on September 20th.”
Ming Jing walked to Violent Wind’s side after she finished speaking, gracefully got on the horse, and her beautiful movements were seamless.
Without sparing them another glance, she lightly whipped her horse and rode away confidently in her red attire, like a raging fire burning in the distance.
Liu Yuerong stamped her foot in anger, “What gives her the right to be so arrogant? She’s nothing but Shen Zhou’s plaything.”
Peng Jie stared foolishly at Ming Jing’s retreating figure. Liu Yuerong slapped him in the face, scolding, “Still looking? Look again, and I’ll gouge your eyeballs out. That slut goes around seducing men. Shameless.”
Peng Jie frowned, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes.
After seeing a stunning beauty like Zhu Mingjing, Liu Yuerong couldn’t compare, like a toad in a pond, difficult to look at.
Liu Yuerong muttered, “What did she mean by that? September 20 is Elder Theodore Shelby’s birthday party. Shen Zhou is going all out this year. Is he going to announce his relationship with her? That’s not possible.”
“Shen Zhou belongs to my aunt. How could Zhu Mingjing, a daughter of a businessman, be a match for him?”
Peng Jie thought to himself, who gave her such confidence? Clearly, if it were between Liu Yaxin and Zhu Mingjing, anyone with eyes would choose Zhu Mingjing.
