Chapter 40: My Ancestors

There’s an unspoken rule in their circle: Master Bo must be accommodated and not provoked, for if he gets angry, it invariably leads to a big scene.

Yaen Chi hadn’t seen Bo Yanching’s icy face in quite some years.

The little girl’s got some real skill to move Master Bo’s heart.

“Should I go down and watch over her?” Yaen Chi leaned in to ask.

The man glanced at him, the simmering anger in his dark pupils slowly spreading, “Then what are you still doing standing here?”

“Ha!”

Yaen Chi set down his wine glass, and as he turned to leave, he waved his hand, “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure your sweetheart is well protected.”

After all, he was the one inconvenienced by not being able to show himself.

In terms of status, she was his niece-in-law.

Passing by the card table, Loo Jinyang and the others asked, “Where’s Brother Yaen going?”

Yaen Chi: “To protect the ancestor.”

After exchanging looks, everyone put down their cards and followed Yaen Chi out to enjoy the spectacle.

Meanwhile, Nan Jiaojiao quickly took control of her horse after mounting it, and a few whips made it behave.

She charged toward Lu Zhenzhen, extending a hand to pull her over.

“Don’t move!”

Lu Zhenzhen dodged and said in a low voice, “I’m playing here, there’s no danger, you better stay away.”

Nan Jiaojiao, thinking of the message she sent from the car, had a cold expression, “I didn’t let you play like this, what if you get hurt!”

“I raised this horse; it can’t hurt me.

Jiaobaoer, keep your distance.

If I don’t completely destroy Shen Shichu’s materials, the horse’s hooves won’t stop.”

“Lu Zhenzhen!” Nan Jiaojiao bellowed in frustration.

The shout startled Lu Zhenzhen, who quietly pinched the horse’s neck, causing the animal to scream as if mad and suddenly bolt forward.

“Aaaah!

Help!!!”

Lu Zhenzhen’s exaggerated screams made it seem like she couldn’t control the horse, yet the horse trampled Shen Shichu’s expensive materials into smithereens.

However skilled she was, she could only control one horse.

Around her, dozens of other horses went berserk, running wild and wreaking havoc, with several heading straight for Lu Zhenzhen.

“Giddy up!”

Nan Jiaojiao chased after them, whipping each one that got close to Lu Zhenzhen away.

One horse was about to crash into Lu Zhenzhen, and Nan Jiaojiao stretched out her long whip, wrapping it around the horse’s neck and pulling back with all her might.

The horse’s feet left the ground, and as Nan Jiaojiao pulled it back, she had no room to dodge, colliding violently with her own mount.

She let go of the whip and immediately reached for the reins.

The horse, in pain, screamed and raised its front legs high.

As she leaned back, she soothed it with her voice, “Shhh—”

When Yaen Chi and the others arrived, they saw the girl brightly and audaciously riding the horse, her whip skillfully in hand, quickly subduing the out-of-control animal beneath her.

She wore a long dress of water-lake blue silk, elegant with a touch of wildness.

Loo Jinyang was spellbound, his eyes glued on her, “Brother Yaen, is that your ancestor?”

Yaen Chi gave him a sidelong glance, “Don’t get any ideas, she’ll soon be your ancestor too.”

“Huh?”

Loo Jinyang didn’t understand, but then he saw Bo Yanching coming over with a cold expression.

Before he could say a word, Yaen Chi patted his shoulder, “What are you all frozen for?

Have all those years of equestrian skills gone to waste?”

“Understood!”

These young noblemen had grown up on horseback from a young age, and each chose a horse, brought it under control, and then handed it over to the horse trainer.

Soon, there weren’t many horses left on the construction site.

Lu Zhenzhen’s screams became clearer and more excited, but gradually, her horse’s hooves were cut by the debris, and it truly lost control.
