Chapter 543 Both Humans And Ghosts Are Welcome When Running A Business

Lu Yan smiled gently as more than ten people followed behind him.

Gu Yao’s face darkened as he muttered softly, “You’re not welcome…”

“Since you’re doing business, it naturally doesn’t matter if you’re human or a ghost,” Qiao Xi spoke first with a mocking smile on her face. “You’re all customers, so of course, we have to welcome you. One can’t be picky when doing business, right, Ah Zheng?”

The smile on Yao Mengqing’s face froze.

Gu Yao echoed stubbornly, “Sister-in-law, you’re right. I’m a businessman. It doesn’t matter who the other party is. They just need to pay, so I welcome everyone who pays.”

Yao Mengqing ignored Gu Yao and walked to Qiao Xi’s side.

“Xi Xi, can you give this horse to me?”

Gu Yao was instantly angry. “Sister Mengqing, although my horse ranch isn’t big, there are still thousands of horses for you to choose from. Why do you have to have Qiao Xi’s horse? Have you forgotten what you did in the design competition? You deliberately tried to make Qiao Xi look bad. Don’t you find yourself annoying?”

His mocking comments made everyone’s expressions change.

Yao Mengqing’s eyes were vicious as she suppressed the anger in her heart. “What happened before was a misunderstanding. I was deceived by Jason. Moreover… I’ve already apologized. I just think that this horse is too tall and am afraid that Xi Xi will get injured. I’m just being kind. I didn’t expect you to think of me that way.”

Gu Yao was just about to explain that the horse belonged to Qiao Xi. Unexpectedly, Qiao Xi nodded indifferently and said, “Miss Yao, you’re really kind!”

Everyone sized up Qiao Xi and saw her let go of the reins with an indifferent expression. “I don’t know anything about horses. I just randomly chose one. Since you say the horse doesn’t suit me, then forget it. I’m also afraid that I’ll get injured.”

Gu Zheng smiled meaningfully.

Yao Mengqing had a victorious smile on her face. Qiao Xi was really sensible!

Immediately after, she heard Qiao Xi say casually, “Miss Yao, you’ve been emphasizing that this horse isn’t suitable for me. You also said that you’re skilled in riding. Does that mean that you have the ability to control this horse? Why don’t you personally demonstrate how to ride this horse and let us broaden our horizons?”

Yao Mengqing looked at Gu Zheng with a gentle expression. “Ah Zheng, what do you think? I’m not trying to snatch Xi Xi’s things. It’s just that she—”.

The man’s expression was indifferent as he said, “Up to you.”

Everyone was stunned. Rumor had it that Gu Zheng and Yao Mengqing had cut ties, but now, Gu Zheng was simply watching as Yao Mengqing stole Qiao Xi’s horse. He did not say anything to stop her. Could it be that Gu Zheng still had feelings for Yao Mengqing?

Yao Mengqing was touched. “Ah Zheng, thank you.”

She said gently, “Xi Xi, I’ll take this horse with me. Once I tame it, I’ll bring it back for you to try.”

Qiao Xi smiled as she said, “Alright! I’ll be waiting for your good news! I don’t think you’ll fail. After all, you’re skilled in riding!”

After that, Qiao Xi tossed the reins to Yao Mengqing.

Yao Mengqing did not find it strange. On the other hand, Qiao Xi agreeing so readily gave her an extremely strong sense of confidence.

Everyone was also waiting for Yao Mengqing to display her superb riding skills. They wanted to see Mrs. Gu get taken down a notch to prevent her from overestimating herself.
