"Stop!"
The warmblood horse quickly reached the finish line. Jiang Chen let out a low shout, and the horse stopped on the spot as if it hadn't moved at all, absolutely motionless on command!
"This..."
The crowd was truly stunned; they couldn't even speak, their mouths agape as they stared dumbfounded at the warmblood horse standing still like a javelin.
God!
So godlike!
"Good boy." Jiang Chen gently patted the horse and dismounted. He turned to look at the red horse belonging to Li Changtian, "Come back."
Neighing! Clop, clop, clop!
Li Changtian's horse let out a joyous neigh and ran over to Jiang Chen, nuzzling against him.
The warmblood horse Jiang Chen had just ridden also came over, and the two horses rubbed affectionately against him.
Dumbfounded!
Completely dumbfounded!
Gong Yue and the others were gaping, watching the two horses with incapable minds to process the scene.
Just how amazing is Jiang Chen really!
How can he be so freaking awesome!
By now, Li Changtian had limped back to the starting point, his face filled with resentment—especially seeing his own horse being so affectionate toward Jiang Chen, it made him furious.
Are you freaking sick? Fancying a guy who's living off a woman? I'll slaughter you and eat your meat someday!
"Smack——"
As he was thinking, Jiang Chen came over, gently slapped Li Changtian's face, and said with a faint smile, "Let's call it even with this slap. But remember, don't try to act cool in front of me again. It's easy to end up looking like a fool. Got it?"
Humiliation!
A huge humiliation!
Li Changtian was gnashing his teeth in anger, his fists clenched, and his face darkened as he glared at Jiang Chen, yet he was unable to utter a single word.
Because, he really had played the fool by trying to show off!
"Master! You're really a god!"
"Freaking incredible!"
"Truly a divine rider, a godlike horse tamer!"
"I've never seen anyone as amazing as you. Teach me, will you?"
At this point, the wealthy young masters had reacted, swarming around with exclamations of amazement. They had thought Jiang Chen was a nobody, looked down on him, but now, seeing his skills, their eyes filled with respect as they looked at him.
"Sir, I apologize for my previous behavior." Xu Wenya briskly approached Jiang Chen, her eyes filled with extreme hope, "I had no idea you were such a miraculous horse trainer. Could you... could you teach me how to train horses?"
Jiang Chen gently shook his head, "Sorry."
"Sir, I..." Xu Wenya tried to insist, but Jiang Chen didn't wait for her to finish. He turned, took Gong Yue by the arm, and said, "Alright, you wanted me to race horses, and I did. Happy now? Then it's time for us to leave, isn't it?"
I'm happy my ass! Gong Yue was seething with anger and about to refuse. Jiang Chen, ignoring her objections, simply took her and left the Equestrian Club.
No sooner had they stepped out of the club, Jiang Chen turned to Gong Yue, "Go find your own amusement. I have things to do, so I'm leaving."
"Where am I supposed to go for fun!" Gong Yue glared, "And where are you going?"
"You don't need to worry about that," Jiang Chen replied indifferently.
Gong Yue's eyes whirled, and with determination, she said, "No way, I'm going to follow you, just in case you do something to wrong my sister."
"Suit yourself!" Jiang Chen rolled his eyes, got into the car, and Gong Yue followed, taking the passenger seat.
Jiang Chen didn't pay attention to Gong Yue and started driving onto the highway, the car falling into silence.
"Jiang Chen, who exactly are you? How come you seem to know a bit of everything?" After a while, Gong Yue couldn't help but break the silence, looking intently into Jiang Chen's eyes.
Without glancing at Gong Yue, Jiang Chen responded coolly,
"I'm your brother-in-law. As for why I know a little bit of everything, that's something you don't need to know.
"You just need to know, if you acknowledge me as your brother-in-law, I'll protect you,"
"If you don't, and you still want to bother me, that's fine. Just bring it on. I promise I'll swell up your face, and... your butt!"
"You..."
At Jiang Chen's words, Gong Yue's face flushed crimson with anger. She glared furiously at Jiang Chen, thinking about how she'd been spanked by him several times with nowhere to seek justice. She bit down hard on her silver teeth, wishing she could sink her teeth into him.
Jiang Chen just smiled slightly and didn't bother with Gong Yue anymore, heading for the Dingjing antique market instead.
...
Meanwhile, at Yichen Investment Company.
Full of confidence, Li Weicheng arrived at Yichen Company with the investment agreement in hand.
"Hello, how may I help you?" the receptionist asked, smiling at Li Weicheng.
With a light chuckle, Li Weicheng responded, "I'm here to see Manager Wang Xuefeng from the investment department. We've arranged to discuss an investment today."
"Sure, please wait in the reception room," the receptionist gestured toward the reception room next door.
Li Weicheng, exuding confidence, waited in the reception room, sure that with Jiang Chen's word, the investment agreement would be signed today.
However, he was unaware that Jiang Chen had forgotten to mention Li Weicheng's investment matter to Gong Lin when he went home yesterday. Whether Li Weicheng's investment would be successful was still an open question.
Footsteps approached, and a middle-aged man entered the reception room.
"Manager Wang," Li Weicheng greeted, standing up promptly.
Wang Xuefeng nodded indifferently, asking casually, "Do you have the agreement with you?"
"I do," Li Weicheng nodded repeatedly, eagerly handing over the agreement.
Wang Xuefeng took the agreement and glanced over it, his brow furrowing as he spoke in a deep voice, "Mr. Li, do you think money grows on trees for Yichen Company? Do you really think we would invest in such an agreement?"
Li Weicheng was startled. This wasn't right. The boss had given his blessing, so why was Wang Xuefeng still objecting?
"No, Manager Wang, I have already spoken with..." Li Weicheng hurriedly began to explain, wanting to play Jiang Chen's card.
Wang Xuefeng raised his hand to interrupt, his voice heavy, "This investment is canceled. You may leave."
"No, Manager Wang, it's Mr. Jiang who agreed! Your boss agreed! If you don't believe me, ask Mr. Jiang himself," Li Weicheng said in panic.
Wang Xuefeng paused, frowning slightly and giving Li Weicheng a probing look, "The boss agreed? But he's not in the office today, and I don't have his contact info. You go find him yourself."
Wang Xuefeng didn't dare give a definitive answer in case Jiang Chen indeed had approved. He wouldn't dare to refuse it outright.
"Not here?!"
Li Weicheng felt dumbfounded and hurriedly dashed out of the reception room. After searching around, he indeed couldn't find Jiang Chen.
Desperate, Li Weicheng left Yichen Investment Company and headed straight for Shen Xiaojiao's home.
"Mr. Li, why are you here? Was the investment agreement approved?" In Shen Xiaojiao's absence, Liu Yuyao, Li Weicheng's mistress, welcomed Li Weicheng with sheer delight, latching onto his arm.
Li Weicheng asked urgently, "No, it wasn't. Is the relative who was here yesterday present? I need to find him!"
"Which relative?" Liu Yuyao asked, perplexed.
Frowning, Li Weicheng said, "What do you mean 'which relative'? Jiang Chen, Mr. Jiang! Who else do I need to find in your family?"
Liu Yuyao was dumbfounded and responded in confusion, "What do you need him for? He's the most useless one among our relatives. He's just a mooching loser."
"Worthless my ass!"
Li Weicheng pushed Liu Yuyao aside and slapped her across the face, "Everyone in your family except Mr. Jiang is the real waste! Do you think I would've given you shares for nothing if it weren't for Mr. Jiang? Are you out of your mind?"
"What? You mean you gave us shares because of that loser Jiang Chen!" Liu Yuyao said, covering her face in disbelief.
"Slap—"
"If you dare call Mr. Jiang worthless again, believe it or not, I'll beat the hell out of you!" Li Weicheng slapped Liu Yuyao once more, pointing at her fiercely, "Hurry up and find him. If you can't, don't even dream of getting a cent of the shares!"
Liu Yuyao panicked immediately, forgetting the pain on her face, "I, I don't know how to find that loser... I mean, I don't know how to find Jiang Chen! My mom knows his mom; she works in the antique market."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!"
Li Weicheng barked sharply, turning around and rushing out the door with Liu Yuyao, heading straight for the antique market.
