Chapter 36 Seeing Gu Jinxing Again
Chapter 36 Seeing Gu Jinxing Again
When Hong Kong celebrities like Xu Pingtao watch horse racing, their seats are naturally arranged in the VIP section.
When Xu Pingtao led Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao to sit in the VIP area, it attracted the attention of many people around them.
"The woman next to Mr. Xu is an unfamiliar face. Who is she?"
"I don't know, I've never seen him in the industry."
"It seems that the entertainment weekly's joke was quite accurate. That woman is so eager to have a baby after losing her offspring that she's no longer trying to hide it."
"No way, Ms. He is still alive."
"What's the use? Alzheimer's disease, it's useless."
The surrounding whispers were kept very low, and to those nearby, it sounded like a buzzing sound.
Liang Muchao, who was talking to the person next to him, noticed the commotion around him. His eyes inadvertently glanced at Xu Pingtao and saw Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao next to Xu Pingtao. His eyes widened in surprise.
Why are Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao with Xu Pingtao?
That shouldn't be the case. They didn't even give a second glance to him, this handsome and wealthy young man, that day. How could they possibly be with Xu Pingtao now?
It's unlikely that, as rumored, Xu Pingtao lost his son and grandson, and even though he's over sixty, he still wants to have children and therefore secretly seeks out many young girls.
Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao are not that kind of people; they must have been fooled by Xu Pingtao.
Yes, that must be it.
Liang Muchao felt he had grasped the truth and immediately decided to save the two lost girls, Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao.
"Shen Wancheng, Shen Yao, it's been a long time."
Liang Muchao stood up and took the initiative to greet him.
Shen Wancheng saw him and nodded politely.
Shen Yao walked directly to Liang Muchao and greeted him familiarly, "Liang Muchao, we meet again."
"You guys are here to bet on horse races too?"
"Yes, I'm really good. Last time I won 100 times the odds, 10 Hong Kong dollars."
"That number 2 horse, the dark horse that can travel a thousand miles?"
Shen Yao nodded, "It was that one."
"That's impressive."
Liang Muchao lowered his voice slightly and asked Shen Yao, "Why did you come with Mr. Xu?"
Shen Yao glanced at Xu Pingtao, who was whispering something to Shen Wancheng.
Shen Yao suddenly felt that she had to protect her sister.
Shen Yao said to Liang Muchao, "It's a long story, we'll talk about it another time," and then returned to Shen Wancheng's side.
Liang Muchao didn't ask about the relationship between Shen Wancheng and her sister and Xu Pingtao, but he was confident that he wouldn't misjudge people. Neither Shen Wancheng nor Shen Yao could be women who used their bodies to climb the social ladder.
Liang Muchao recalled Gu Jinxing's instructions to him: if he encountered Shen Wancheng and her sister again, he must tell him.
After thinking for a moment, Liang Muchao left the VIP section and went to call Gu Jinxing.
Less than twenty minutes later, Marseille still hadn't started, so Liang Muchao and Gu Jinxing returned to the VIP section of the stands.
Gu Jinxing arrived in a wheelchair and was pushed around by someone.
This was Gu Jinxing's first public appearance since rumors circulated that he was lame and blind. The head of the horse farm followed behind them tremblingly, and it was Liang Muchao who chased them away.
Gu Jinxing's appearance attracted far more attention than Xu Pingtao and Shen Wancheng.
"My god! Why would Mr. Gu come to the horse farm?"
"The rumors are true, he really is lame."
"Didn't they say he was blind? What's he doing at the horse farm then?"
Various voices rose and fell, and Liang Muchao spoke coldly to these people.
"Watch your mouth, or you'll get into trouble."
Although these people are all in the VIP area, there are still social classes within the elite circles.
Although Gu Jinxing is also a member of the younger generation, he has already taken over the family group. Both the Gu family and Liang Muchao's Liang family are among the top ten wealthy families in Hong Kong.
These were not people that ordinary rich kids or spoiled brats could criticize. Previously, Xu Pingtao had kept his voice down when discussing these people, not wanting to bother with them. But discussing Gu Jinxing's injuries was tantamount to stabbing him in the back; no wonder Liang Muchao spoke up to warn him.
Everyone immediately shut their mouths. Some people swallowed back what they were about to say. Their companions, seeing their expressions, wanted to laugh but dared not, which was quite comical.
Gu Jinxing was pushed along with Liang Muchao to Xu Pingtao.
Liang Muchao greeted Xu Pingtao first, "Hello, Mr. Xu."
There are connections between wealthy and powerful families, and they refer to each other as family friends in private.
Gu Jinxing was like a blind man who couldn't see anything, and only spoke up after Liang Muchao called out to him.
"Mr. Xu, it's been a long time."
"It's Mr. Gu and Mr. Liang. Long time no see."
Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao were completely stunned when Gu Jinxing appeared.
Gu Jinxing was rescued in the mountains by the original Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao, and they arranged for him to live in a thatched hut outside the village.
Shen Yao should also remember what Gu Jinxing looks like.
Shen Wancheng immediately looked at Shen Yao to confirm: Is it him?
Shen Yao stared wide-eyed and looked at it carefully a few more times before nodding heavily.
Even someone as composed as Shen Wancheng couldn't remain calm.
Hong Kong Island is indeed just an island, too small, we ran into it so quickly.
Fortunately, the wild man was blind and couldn't see.
Shen Wancheng only hoped that Xu Pingtao and Liang Muchao would not mention her name, and that the other man had forgotten her name.
She had absolutely no desire to rekindle her relationship with this stranger.
To be honest, Shen Wancheng still doesn't know the wild man's name.
Shen Yao had already guessed how Shen Wancheng had been cured of the Chinese medicine that night. Even though she knew that the man couldn't see and didn't know what they looked like, she still stepped forward and slightly covered Shen Wancheng's face.
She wanted to be her brother-in-law, but an old man like Xu Pingtao wouldn't do, and this blind and lame man was even less suitable, regardless of his status.
Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao both hoped that Gu Jinxing had forgotten about them.
However, reality often falls short of expectations.
Before Xu Pingtao could introduce Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao, Liang Muchao greeted them first.
"Shen Yao..."
"Young Master Liang, it's been a long time."
Liang Muchao had just called out Shen Yao's name when Shen Yao interrupted him loudly.
Xu Pingtao asked in surprise, "You two know each other?"
Shen Yao's smile froze. "It was just a brief encounter."
"A brief encounter?"
Gu Jinxing "saw" Shen Wancheng behind Shen Yao.
Shen Wancheng knew perfectly well that the man was blind, but she felt that he "saw" her and recognized her.
Sure enough, the next moment, Shen Wancheng heard Gu Jinxing ask her.
"Shen Wancheng, did we only meet once?"
The heart that had been held high finally settled, and shattered.
Everyone present stared at Shen Wancheng in surprise, waiting for her response.
"Hehe." Shen Wancheng chuckled dryly.
"Wild...no." Shen Wancheng almost blurted out the words "wild man," but swallowed them back in time. After calming herself, she asked again, "How did you know I was there?"
"It has a familiar taste."
Those few simple words made the eyes of the several pairs of people looking at Shen Wancheng widen even more.
I'm so pissed....
Shen Wancheng really wanted to swear.
What the hell is that familiar taste? Who's familiar with you?!
Terrible!
Shen Wancheng suppressed her surging emotions and tried her best to maintain a calm tone.
"Sir, we're not acquainted. I don't even know your name. How about we pretend this never happened?"
