Gu Nian sent Xing Su to her door. As Xing Su unbuckled her seatbelt, she asked, “Aren’t you going in with me?”

Gu Nian shook his head and refused. “Forget it. Your grandfather is in a fit of anger. I won’t go in and be scolded with you. I’ll come and see him when he calms down.”

Xing Su’s grandfather was a soldier. Later on, he climbed to the position of chief and retired. Soldiers were all hot-tempered and believed in teaching with sticks. Even though Xing Su was a girl, she had been beaten up a lot. Of course, Gu Nian had also been beaten up a lot.

Xing Su muttered that he was disloyal and then slowly pushed open the car door. After Gu Nian helped Xing Su take down her suitcase, he drove away, leaving Xing Su alone to walk towards the villa heroically. Before she entered the door, a tall figure walked out.

The man’s head was lowered and his face could not be seen clearly, but his suit was well-ironed. He was tall and had long legs. Every step he took was steady and carried his own aura, making people fear him.

When the two of them passed each other, Xing Su only saw half of the man’s side profile, but half of his face was dazzling enough. Moreover, Xing Su felt that he looked a little familiar. She stopped in her tracks and thought for a moment. After confirming that she could not find this person in her memory, she gave up thinking.

A moment later, the man walked to a black luxury car. A driver in white gloves got out of the car and respectfully opened the door for him. Then, the man bent down and got into the car.

Auntie Cui, the nanny, had just sent the guests away when she saw Xing Su standing there looking at something.

“Auntie Cui,” Xing Su called out sweetly.

“Aiyo, it’s Susu? Aiyo, my little baby, you’re finally back.” Auntie Cui had taken care of her grandfather for more than ten years and had watched Xing Su grow up. She took care of her as if she was taking care of her own daughter. She quickly took Xing Su’s suitcase and sized her up. Her heart ached as she said, “You’ve lost weight. You’ve lost so much weight.”

Xing Su hugged Auntie Cui’s arm and said coquettishly, “I didn’t lose weight. I even gained weight.”

As he spoke, Xing Su’s grandfather walked out. The Old Master had been in the army for most of his life. Although he was in his seventies, his back was still straight.

“Grandpa!” The moment Xing Su saw her grandfather, she ran towards him. Old Master Xing was used to being serious all his life, but when he looked at his granddaughter in his arms, he couldn’t help but laugh. After laughing, he scolded, “Little bastard, do you still remember that I’m your grandfather? You didn’t even come home to take a look when you returned to the country.”

Xing Su smiled happily.

After lazing at home for three days, Xing Su slowly went out. This morning, Gu Nian called her and said, “Come out and play, Xing Su. I found a few brothers to welcome you. Let’s meet at our usual place.” Unfortunately, Xing Su rejected her. She glanced at her grandfather, who was fiddling with the harness beside her, and whispered to Gu Nian, “I can’t today. I have to go to the racecourse.”

Gu Nian asked, “Why are you going there? Do you want to ride a horse?”

Xing Su: “My grandfather received a new saddle from a friend a few days ago and said that he wanted to try it out. He even asked me to accompany him.”

“Bullsh*t, you are the one who volunteered to accompany me!” Although Old Master Xing was old, his ears were very good.

Xing Su instantly raised her hands in surrender. “Yes, yes, yes. You’re right. I’m willing to accompany you.”

Unfortunately, Old Master Xing was still not satisfied. He instructed Xing Su, “Tell Gu Nian, that brat, to come over too. I’ll check his horsemanship.”

Gu Nian was speechless. Why did he call Xing Su today? Why?!

Back then, Xing Su and Gu Nian’s equestrian skills were personally taught by Old Chief Xing. When teaching, Old Chief Xing did not just talk, if they made a mistake, they would be beaten! Now that Old Chief Xing had personally spoken, Gu Nian did not dare to not come. He could only agree “voluntarily”.

At the entrance of the racecourse, Xing Su’s grandfather had just arrived when someone came out to welcome him. The person who welcomed him was a slightly plump middle-aged man. He quickly stepped forward to shake hands with Xing Su’s grandfather and said respectfully, “Hello, Old Chief. I’m really sorry. Our President Jiang has something urgent to deal with at the last minute. He’ll be here soon. Shall I bring you in first?”

Old Chief Xing said with a dignified expression, “It’s fine. Young people’s work is more important. I’ll have to trouble Assistant Kang.”

Assistant Kang quickly bowed. “Old Chief, you’re too polite. You can call me Xiao Kang.”

Old Chief Xing nodded and followed Assistant Kang inside. The racecourse was huge, and the grass was green with water droplets. In the racecourse, a few brown steeds were pacing around with their tails swinging. Professional horse trainers were waving long whips and blowing whistles, their voices loud and clear.
