Mr. Lu's delicate bag

Chapter 24 'Encounter'

In the morning, two managers arrived at the villa to report for duty. Shen Jiaojiao followed them and spent most of the morning chatting in the study. After finishing the various materials and having lunch, she felt extremely sleepy. When she woke up, it was already 3pm.

As usual, the first thing she did when she woke up was to send a message to Lu Shize. As soon as she clicked on it, Shen Jiaojiao saw the message that the man had sent more than an hour ago.

"Jiaojiao, it's cloudy today. If you want to go out after waking up in the afternoon, you can consider the horse farm because it won't be exposed to the sun there."

Shen Jiaojiao went next door to find Lu Yanran, "Do you want to go to the horse farm? My uncle said, since we don't have sun today, let's go horseback riding."

Lu Yanran was jealous of Shen Jiaojiao's words that she could start a company. She only heard one sentence last night, but today she saw with her own eyes several professional managers in suits and ties coming to her house. They did what they said and were very efficient.

Now that he had woken up from a nap, he could go to his own horse ranch to play again, but he didn't dare show it. Lu Yanran just jumped for joy and expressed her agreement.

Shen Jiaojiao called Aunt Xue and asked her to come over to help pack clothes, saying that she was going out to play. Not long after, Aunt Li knocked on the door and came in, "Miss, Aunt Xue is still busy on the 3rd floor. I'll come over first."

When they were almost done packing, Shen Jiaojiao picked out a small bag and slung it over her shoulder. Aunt Xue came in and said, "Miss, driver Chen is at home today."

"Well, let's go to the horse farm. Tell them to prepare an extra set of riding clothes, Yanran is coming."

Everything was ready, and the group went out. The two bodyguards sat in the back seat. Lu Yanran received a call halfway and was told that her parents had returned. She said she would go home after riding the horse, and also called her driver to pick her up directly at the horse farm.

The horse Shen Jiaojiao rode wasn't too big, and its temperament was gentle. They strolled slowly along the grass. After they took a few photos, Lu Yanran asked, "Does your uncle usually have social engagements late at night?"

"Let it be, for now."

"So he can drink a lot?"

Shen Jiaojiao thought for a while, "Well, actually... I don't even know how well he can drink... I've never seen him get really drunk. I've seen him get drunk until his face turns red, but I've never seen him get really crazy or drunk."

Shen Jiaojiao thought that her uncle's business was getting bigger and bigger, and his status in the circle was rising. No one should force him to drink, and drinking was a free state, so there was no possibility of drinking too much.

Most of those who get drunk at social gatherings are those who need help from others and cannot act on their own.

"My mom said your uncle's business also started small and slowly built up. She also told my brother and me to learn from him and be steady and practical... So, what about that time? Did he ever get drunk?"

Shen Jiaojiao shook her head. When she was little, she didn't seem to remember her uncle drinking. She never smelled alcohol at home. But as he brought her to more and more dinner parties, Shen Jiaojiao finally realized he drank.

There was something so comfortable about strolling around like a colt. After a quick walk around, Shen Jiaojiao looked at the lush green pasture and adjusted her hat. "Yanran, how about we have a race?"

Although Lu Yanran didn't have a horse farm at home, she had signed up for equestrian lessons. After taking a ride around the horse she had chosen today, she was familiar with it and said, "Okay."

Shen Jiaojiao rubbed the inside of her thigh, which was a little painful from the saddle. "How about we have a round race?"

"What's the bet?"

"Bet?" Shen Jiaojiao was speechless for a moment, not knowing what the two could bet on.

Lu Yanran chuckled and said, "It's Truth or Dare. Whoever loses gets to choose one of the punishments."

Shen Jiaojiao is a good horse rider. When she reached the finish line, she turned around and saw Lu Yanran coming towards her with the whip swinging.

She pulled the reins and led the horse to the side, leaving space. After Lu Yanran crossed the line, someone came over and pulled the reins, "Jiaojiao, you are so awesome."

Shen Jiaojiao hadn't ridden a horse for a while. Even though she was wearing gloves, her palms turned red and painful from pulling the reins. She rubbed her hands and looked at her old friend.

"What's wrong? Does it hurt?" Lu Yanran asked with concern.

Shen Jiaojiao pouted, tears already welling up in her eyes, but she just kept holding them back and said, "Yeah."

Aunt Xue ran over and took the ointment, "Miss, where else does it hurt? Let's go change our clothes and I'll apply the ointment for you."

Shen Jiaojiao's skin was too delicate, and the inside of her thighs were even red. She followed someone to the locker room to change her clothes. After they came out and chatted for a few minutes, Shen Yanran quickly turned her halfway around.

"What for?" Shen Jiaojiao asked puzzledly.

Lu Yanran looked at the person coming to the locker room, "...It seems to be that Gu...Gu Sheng."

Gu Sheng?!

Shen Jiaojiao subconsciously wanted to turn back, but Lu Yanran quickly held her back and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing? It would be so embarrassing."

Shen Jiaojiao patted her, indicating that it was okay, and turned back. Sure enough, she met the people who came over.

Among the group, a man in a suit walking at the back hurried forward and bowed to greet Shen and Lu, "Ms. Shen, Ms. Lu, good afternoon"...

Lu Yanran took a look and was not familiar with the person in front of her, and Shen Jiaojiao didn't remember him at all. The man in the suit added, "We are from Kaicheng, and this is... our second son Gu Sheng."

As he said that, he quickly moved his hand back and gestured. Gu Sheng looked at Shen Jiaojiao with a smile. Shen Jiaojiao was a little uncomfortable being stared at by a man like this, so she looked away.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. I'm lucky to meet you here. Miss Shen, are you here to ride horses as well?"

Shen Jiaojiao shook her head and said, "I've finished riding." The man took another step forward.

Shen Jiaojiao felt that they had inexplicably grown closer, and only then did she realize what awkwardness meant. She leaned slightly closer to Lu Yanran and said, "Welcome to the racecourse... I won't disturb you..."

"Don't disturb," the man said softly, but his eyes were still looking straight at the pretty person in front of him.

Even if the girl is very calm and composed, she will still be nervous if she gets close to a crowd like this, right?

Gu Sheng thought that no woman could refuse him, the corners of his lips moved slightly, and he took another step forward wantonly, "... Let's have a round together, after all, it's rare to meet someone like her."
