Chapter 545 Betting On Victory

Her eyes were red as she looked at Gu Zheng aggrievedly. “Ah Zheng…”

Yao Mengqing’s admirers were instantly angry. “Mrs. Gu, your words are too harsh. This horse is too temperamental. It’s not strange that a weak girl like Miss Yao can’t tame it. You can’t say that Miss Yao isn’t good at riding!”

“Mrs. Gu, you’re so harsh with your words. If you’re good, tame this horse, then. Otherwise, what right do you have to mock Miss Yao?”

These men must like Yao Mengqing a lot. When they saw Yao Mengqing crying aggrievedly, they hurriedly stood up to defend her.

Before Qiao Xi could speak, Gu Zheng’s eyes turned cold. His voice was icy-cold and dignified. “I didn’t know that everyone would be so displeased just because Mrs. Gu spoke the truth.”

Everyone immediately fell silent. Then, a few friends who were close to Gu Yao stood up.

“Mrs. Gu was the one who took a liking to this horse first. It was Yao Mengqing who said that Mrs. Gu doesn’t know how to ride a horse. She claimed to be worried that Mrs. Gu couldn’t control this horse, so she forcefully snatched it away. Now that she has embarrassed herself, she’s blaming Mrs. Gu?”

“Moreover, you guys claim that the horse is temperamental, but when it was standing beside Mrs. Gu just now, it was as obedient as a child. Why did it suddenly become irritable when it was beside Yao Mengqing?”

“You stole her horse yet you’re blaming her after you humiliated yourself. Isn’t this too much?”

Yao Mengqing’s expression darkened as she gritted her teeth.

However, there was one thing she was very sure of. Qiao Xi definitely did not know how to ride. Otherwise, with her character, she would definitely have retorted when she mocked her for her lack of riding ability just now.

All the young ladies and madams of the upper-class society were proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, riding, and dancing. Some of them even reared horses in their villas for daily training

Qiao Xi was not even wearing a riding suit, so her riding skills were definitely inferior to hers.

Yao Mengqing was full of hatred as she thought about it. Why should she be the one losing face? She wanted Qiao Xi to have a taste of this as well.

“Ah Zheng, it’s all my fault. I thought that Xi Xi didn’t know how to ride a horse, so I asked her to give me this horse for her own good. I didn’t expect that I actually can’t control this horse. Since Xi Xi can control this horse, why don’t we let Xi Xi try riding it?”

Qiao Xi smiled meaningfully. She wanted to drag her down with her?

Yao Mengqing was helped up by everyone. She said weakly, “I… I didn’t mean to make things difficult for Xi Xi. It’s just that if news of this gets out, I’m afraid people will say that Xi Xi doesn’t know how to ride a horse herself but she still wants to mock me. If… Xi Xi can tame this horse, the rumors will be unfounded.”

Her admirers all looked at her in admiration. Mengqing was still the most understanding.

One of the men echoed, “That’s right, President Gu. If others find out that Mrs. Gu doesn’t know how to ride a horse but still taunts others, she’ll definitely make a fool of herself. If Mrs. Gu knows how to ride a horse, why don’t she give it a try?

“Otherwise, when others hear this, they’ll say that Mrs. Gu was deliberately targeting Miss Yao. They’ll also say that Mrs. Gu is vicious and can’t think for the greater good of her family. Whenever she sees someone in an embarrassing situation, she’ll mock them without regard for anything else.”
