Chapter 56 The Show-Off Greasy Man
Chapter 56 The Show-Off Greasy Man
Shen Wancheng still didn't think that Gu Jinxing simply wanted to marry her; she always felt that Gu Jinxing had other reasons that she didn't know about.
But whatever the reason, Shen Wancheng was certain that once Gu Jinxing found out she was pregnant, he would cling to her even more and refuse to let go.
Shen Wancheng silently reminded herself that she must avoid Gu Jinxing in the future.
Shen Wancheng was unaware that Gu Jinxing had already decided on her before this, and that he now knew about her pregnancy.
In the afternoon, Shen Wancheng spent nearly three hours in the library.
In this day and age, there are no cell phones to pass the time, so since we're in the library, we can only actually read books.
Shen Wancheng focused on the history of this world. Comparing it to the world she had lived in in her previous life, Shen Wancheng confirmed once again that the historical process of this world was exactly the same as that of her previous life. Only the people in charge of each event had changed, and the process of handling the events was very different, but the final result was the same.
Having determined the course of history, Shen Wancheng was able to judge what she could do next.
Although Xu Pingtao only gave Shen Wancheng HK$15 million, Xu Pingtao has no heir, and his future assets will most likely belong to Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao.
But Shen Wancheng didn't want to just give up like that. Only by having the wealth she earned herself could Shen Wancheng feel more secure.
After leaving the library, Shen Wancheng went to the stock exchange and bought five million shares of Wharf Holdings.
It's only been a few days since Shen Wancheng last bought this stock, but the price of each share has already increased by five yuan.
This stock is destined to keep rising, a sure-fire way to make money, so Shen Wancheng isn't worried at all.
However, she didn't buy more. If she had directly purchased ten million, it would have attracted attention and changed the stock's trend, which was not what Shen Wancheng wanted.
At 5 p.m., Shen Wancheng had the driver take her back to her residence, picked up Shen Mei, and then went to the horse farm to pick up Shen Yao.
When the car arrived at the horse farm, Shen Yao had not yet come out, so Shen Wancheng and Shen Mei got out of the car to go and check on the horse farm.
They happened to run into Shen Yao, who was still training. She looked dashing in her riding outfit, and some jockey trainees were cheering for her.
Shen Yao performed several leaps over obstacles, causing Shen Mei to gasp in surprise.
"Wancheng, Yao is so amazing!"
Shen Wancheng was also engrossed in watching, "It's really amazing."
Shen Yao was the only female jockey trainee at the racecourse. Since there were no support staff present, the sudden appearance of two more girls on the scene was particularly noticeable.
Soon, the male knights and students noticed the sudden appearance of Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao.
Shen Wancheng wore a printed shirt with khaki wide-leg pants today. It was just an ordinary outfit, but it looked particularly eye-catching on Shen Wancheng.
The printed shirt was tucked halfway into the pants, making her waist look incredibly slender.
After her diet became more nutritious, Shen Wancheng's skin became fair and radiant. Even without makeup, her features were striking and not at all plain.
Anyone who looks at it will feel a sense of excitement.
Shen Wancheng seemed oblivious to these gazes and waved to Shen Yao.
Only Shen Mei stood next to Shen Wancheng, unable to resist fixing her hair and dressing.
Upon seeing Shen Wancheng, Shen Yao pulled on the reins to stop the horse, and nimbly dismounted.
"Sis, you're right on time!"
"If you're not on time, you'll nag me again."
Shen Yao took Shen Wancheng's arm and asked, "How do I look? Am I handsome?"
Shen Wancheng tilted her head and looked Shen Yao up and down.
"He looks handsome, but his riding outfit is a bit cheap."
Shen Yao was wearing the riding uniform provided by the horse farm for trainees, made of very ordinary materials.
"Hmph, as long as I'm handsome, that's enough."
“A handsome guy needs a set of gear to match him. We’ll go buy some after we finish eating.”
"Ladies, are you going to buy riding suits?"
A male voice suddenly interrupted, and Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao turned around at the same time.
The man was wearing a white suit, and his slicked-back hair was so oily it was practically slick to the touch.
The man, seeing that Shen Wancheng and the other two were looking at him, gave what he thought was a dashing and debonair smile.
"Hello, I am Liu Xingyang, a jockey from Tengfei Racecourse. When it comes to knowledge of riding suits, I am second to none at this Horse Ranch. Would you like to have Chance accompany you for a stroll?"
"No Way"
Shen Wancheng said two words and pulled Shen Yao to quicken their pace.
Shen Mei smiled apologetically at the man, said "Sorry," and quickly went to catch up with Shen Wancheng.
The man behind her sneered, "What are you pretending for? If someone really had status, would they bring a girl from mainland China out to show off?"
The man's implication was that he thought Shen Wancheng was from Hong Kong and was showing off by bringing Shen Mei, a country bumpkin from the mainland, to pretend to be someone important.
Upon hearing these words, Shen Mei felt as if her heart had been suddenly stabbed with a knife, a strange pain shooting through her.
Even though Shen Wancheng dresses the same way as her, in styles that are common in Hong Kong, why do people call her "mainland girl" and look down on her when she stands next to Shen Wancheng?
Shen Yao and Shen Wancheng walked for a while before realizing that Shen Mei hadn't followed. Shen Yao turned around and called out to Shen Mei.
"Shen Mei, hurry up."
"it is good."
Shen Mei took a deep breath, suppressed her disappointment, and quickly chased after Shen Yao and Shen Wancheng.
Shen Yao turned around to wait for Shen Mei, and then glanced at the slick-haired man before she couldn't help but ask Shen Wancheng.
"Sis, what did that person just say? He was talking in a weird way, saying things that no one could understand."
"He didn't say anything, just that he was going to take us to see riding gear. He's a greasy guy from the bottom of society, so he talks in a pretentious way."
Shen Yao chuckled softly, "Today, the jockeys from the two horse farms were exchanging ideas. That man kept bothering me all afternoon, but I couldn't understand a word he was saying. I didn't respond to a single word, and he wasn't angry. But just now, you said two words, and he got angry. What did those two words mean?"
"Absolutely impossible."
"Haha, I've learned something. Next time he bothers me, I'll reply like that."
"Well, yes."
When it comes to English, Shen Wancheng feels that Hong Kong Island residents are used to speaking a mix of English and Cantonese, and Shen Yao should also learn it for convenience.
So Shen Wancheng said to Shen Yao.
"In a couple of days, I'll have Grandpa find two foreigners who are experts on China to give you a crash course in English, so that you can at least communicate fluently in daily life."
Shen Yao sighed helplessly, "Alright."
She had to follow her sister's advice.
