Xu Suxin took the hay from beside the manger and handed it to Chidian.
Next to it was Amber, and Miss Fu was gently stroking her head while Lu Chenxing fed it grass.
Xu Suxin walked slowly closer and said,
“Mr. Lu, would you like to make a bet with me?”
Lu Chenxing raised an eyebrow at her, asking with interest,
“What else do you have to bet with me?”
“If you win, I’ll let you do whatever you want with me.”
As soon as Xu Suxin finished speaking, someone looked over.
Should Xu Suxin be dealt with?
Lou Yuan asked,
“Would you be allowed to kneel down?”
Xu Suxin laughed and said,
“Then she has to win.”
Lu Chenxing replied,
“If you win, I’ll give you back what you wanted?”
Xu Suxin didn’t keep her in suspense, but looked at her directly and smiled.
“That’s too unchallenging,” she said, slowly tucking a stray hair behind her ear, her voice clear enough for everyone present to hear.
“The bet is—either you return all my documents, or… you kiss me once.”
She smiled slightly.
“You are free to choose, how about it?”
Before Lu Chenxing could even make a statement, the surrounding area was already restless.
Everyone wanted her to gamble with Xu Suxin so they could watch Xu Suxin lose everything and be humiliated like a dog by Lu Chenxing.
Xu Suxin, who always wanted to be proud, knelt down and begged for mercy, her face covered in tears. She crawled to everyone’s feet, wagging her tail and pleading, and then everyone could kick her.
God knows how happy these people were when the Xu family went bankrupt; some even secretly consulted evil gods to curse her so that she would never be able to recover.
The day her father jumped off the building, everyone got together to celebrate with champagne.
Before, only when she raised her eyes were others worthy of her attention; now, as long as one has enough capital, anyone can sit at her gambling table.
Just as Fu Qiran was about to speak up to stop her, Xu Suxin lightly pressed her fingertip to her lips.
“Shh, don’t rush. Maybe she’ll choose the former?”
Clearly, having Lu Chenxing kiss her was something she added on the spot; as always, she liked to add some fun to the game.
Xu Suxin had undone one button at the collar, and Lu Chenxing’s gaze swept over her neck, slender and gracefully curved, without a single mark.
She was still as proud as ever, as if her downfall had only added an alluring layer of attraction to her.
Upon closer examination, it is also a kind of sexual tension.
She’s so alluring, it makes you want to snap her incredibly slender waist, break her sexy figure, and make her completely submit.
Xu Suxin waited for her answer with a smile on her lips.
Lu Chenxing asked,
“You’ll agree to anything?”
Xu Suxin nodded.
“Yes.”
She stood there calmly, and her words directly overshadowed the thoughts of everyone present.
“You can kill me, I’m fine with that.”
Fu Qiran reached out and pulled Lu Chenxing back, saying,
“Don’t gamble with her.”
Lu Chenxing didn’t answer her question.
Instead, he fed the horse grass to Amber and asked,
“Are you going to go on stage?”
Xu Suxin looked sharp in her riding outfit today, with a black vest and white trousers.
The well-tailored outfit perfectly accentuated the lines of her long legs.
She raised an eyebrow and asked,
“Can you ride a horse?”
Lu Chenxing hadn’t done that before.
Xu Suxin’s horses wouldn’t get close to her and always kicked around.
Both of them were her precious darlings, and she would feel bad if either of them got hurt, so she always treated them equally and rode them in turns.
Lu Chenxing nodded slightly and accepted her invitation.
Someone panicked and hurriedly said,
“Horse racing is fun if everyone can bet and participate. It’ll be no fun if you participate.”
They weren’t afraid of breaking the rules; it was just that Xu Suxin’s riding skills were widely known.
She had been learning equestrianism since childhood and held a Galop Level 7 certification from the French Equestrian Federation, meaning her riding skills had already reached a professional level.
Xu Suxin may be useless in the business world, but her riding ability should never be questioned.
If that’s the case, Lu Chenxing’s chances of winning are definitely slim.
Lou Yuan said,
“You’re being cunning.”
Xu Suxin wasn’t angry.
She just glanced at her and asked,
“Do you want to try it together?”
Lou Yuan’s face darkened, clearly displeased.
Xu Suxin threw the handkerchief she had used to wipe Chi Dian’s sweat at her face.
“Who are you to talk back?”
Lou Yuan choked on the overwhelming fishy smell and vomited.
“Xu Suxin!”
“I set the rules for the betting games I run, so who are you to judge me?”
Lou Yuan gripped the handkerchief tightly.
Xu Suxin stared at her intently.
Her gaze was piercing like ice thorns, and in just a few seconds, it sent chills down her spine and filled her with murderous intent.
Lou Yuan glanced at Chi Dian.
This horse had been in terrible condition the last few times it had raced, acting erratically.
After the racetrack’s assessment, they simply sent it away—it was better to keep it for breeding than to force it to compete.
The wind gently blew the hair on Xu Suxin’s forehead.
The coach offered her a riding crop, but she didn’t take it.
A well-behaved horse doesn’t need a whip; a gentle tug on the reins is enough.
The whip is only for guidance, not for striking.
“Give me the cotton swab.”
The assistant handed over the tools, and she bent down to clean the dirt from the corner of Chi Dian’s eyes.
Lou Yuan crossed her arms and suddenly said,
“I’ll take this gamble.”
Xu Suxin raised an eyebrow.
“How is the winner determined?”
Lou Yuan said,
“Don’t be in such a hurry.”
Xu Suxin’s lips curved into a very faint smile.
Those who know her understand that she deliberately set a trap, using herself as bait, waiting for willing victims to take the bait.
She used to love playing this game—leaning on the bed in stockings and sexy lingerie, lightly hooking the other person’s knee with her toes, enticing them to tear at her.
Lou Yuan said,
“You can’t get on the horse.”
Xu Suxin gently stroked Chidian’s neck and whispered in her ear,
“Baby, it’s such a pity, otherwise I could ride you today.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a deep, cold gaze fell on her from the side.
Lu Chenxing was staring at her, and Xu Suxin raised an eyebrow and looked back.
…What does this person mean?
The rules follow the standard horse racing system, using the Paris Concord method to calculate odds.
All bets are deposited into the prize pool, and after the racecourse takes its cut, the remaining amount is distributed proportionally to the winners.
Xu Suxin swiped her betting tablet.
When the waiter brought her juice, she glanced at the screen and saw that her bet was very high.
The bet was simple:
If Chidian beat Amber, Xu Suxin would win.
If she lost, she would be tortured by the two of them.
The odds fluctuate in real time based on betting odds and are locked after the betting closes.
Before the start of the race, Xu Suxin signaled the groom to loosen the tools and personally trimmed the hooves of the Red Lightning horse, then carefully brushed its mane.
Several young ladies exchanged mocking glances upon seeing this, and some even raised their phones to film Xu Suxin tidying up Chidian, with Chidian rubbing against her palm.
“Baby, they all think you’re no good, but we’re going to show them we can’t win.”
Xu Suxin patted her horse’s back.
“Go for it, baby.”
Fu Qiran looked at Lu Chenxing’s betting interface and said softly,
“Amber will definitely win.”
Lu Chenxing remained silent, his gaze sweeping over Xu Suxin.
Xu Suxin threw the gloves she had taken off into the bucket, washed her hands, took a towel and slowly wiped her fingertips, then went up to the stands and took the betting tablet from her assistant.
She holds a Stage certification from the British Horse Racing Association.
A former champion, she’s known for her fastidious nature and proud demeanor.
Now, with her poor treatment, this horse is burning with determination, eager to redeem herself.
Today’s turf track uses a B+2 hurdle setting, with a longer straight section, which is beneficial for horses with plenty of stamina.
This is Amber’s strength.
Red Lightning’s condition is not as good as it used to be, and his stamina probably can’t keep up.
Lou Yuan had already decided that once Xu Suxin lost, she would make her kneel down…
No, kneeling down would be too easy for her.
The darkness in her heart continued to grow.
She demanded that Xu Suxin strip naked and kneel before her.
She wanted to make Xu Suxin her slave for life, to slowly and thoroughly torture her to death.
Xu Suxin was on the phone, most likely looking for someone to rescue her.
Qian Shanyue called and asked,
“Did you go to the racetrack?”
Xu Suxin sipped her juice and said,
“I’m apologizing to her. Well, she won’t see me, so I can only gamble on her here.”
It’s “gambling,” not “blocking.”
“Why didn’t you call me?” Qian Shanyue asked.
Xu Suxin said,
“Apologizing isn’t a big deal, and I’m not going to invite a bunch of people to watch.”
The question is, will you apologize?
“I guess… I think I can.”
Qian Shanyue asked,
“Are you at a horse race?”
Xu Suxin hummed in agreement.
“…Use Crimson Lightning? Xu Suxin, are you sure it can beat Amber…”
“I only have Red Lightning left. I’ll use it to gamble, and if she loses, I’ll lose for her.”
The competitors have already entered the arena.
Xu Suxin looked at Chidian and said,
“If you want to come, bring more bodyguards.”
“So, you’re not sure either?”
Xu Suxin hung up the call and looked up at Lu Chenxing.
His gaze remained fixed on the competition field, his emotions unreadable.
Before the race, the starting gates were determined by drawing lots.
The Red Lightning drew the innermost gate, number 3, which would save them a lot of distance when cornering.
They were quite lucky.
As soon as the starting gun fired, Chi Dian dashed out of the gate like a red lightning bolt, quickly taking up a favorable position on the inside of the track and maintaining a steady position in the middle of the race.
The odds display board was jumping rapidly.
As more money kept pouring in, the odds for Red Lightning continued to rise.
Amber was superior.
This star racehorse lived up to expectations, leading the race with a steady pace throughout.
This is a 3,000-meter turf steeplechaser with twelve standard obstacles, requiring two laps.
Such a course tests not only the jockey’s pacing strategy but also the horse’s endurance and obedience.
Red Lightning pressed forward relentlessly, while Amber was in top form, maintaining a two-horse length advantage.
Xu Suxin lightly touched the edge of the betting tablet with her fingertips, her worry undiminished, her heart entirely focused on those obstacles.
Chidian was previously withdrawn from the race precisely because she performed poorly in these areas.
These tracks are extremely prone to causing horse injuries and rider falls, resulting in significant losses in the event of an accident.
At this moment, Red Lightning leaped and galloped, overtaking the horses in front of it one after another.
Amber’s sprint was equally fierce, almost securing the victory on the final straight, with waving star banners, billowing dust, and cheers from the audience.
There’s nothing we can do.
Regardless of how old Chidian is, she’s past her prime.
The final fate of mares is to go to a breeding farm.
If she can find a good owner, perhaps she can be redeemed and live out her old age in peace.
