Racing Horses

Not everyone looked down on Li Mochen just because he was no longer a member of the Li family. On the contrary, some people admired him for being able to maintain relationships with many members of prestigious families even though he was no longer a part of the Li family. Although they didn’t know much about Li Mochen’s situation, they had heard that he was influential.

Therefore, there were still some people who wanted to befriend Li Mochen, but they felt hesitant to approach him because he was completely focused on the girl next to him.

Yu Yanwei walked directly towards Li Mochen and Leng Xiaoyao, then said, “Li Mochen, do you dare to play a competition against me? You and your partner versus me and my partner.”

Yu Yanwei didn’t take them seriously because he was a professional in equestrianism and Lin Xiyuan was also good. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gained his attention.

Li Mochen ignored Yu Yanwei and looked towards Leng Xiaoyao, seeking her opinions.

Leng Xiaoyao was excited and said, “Why not! But we never play without a bet.”

Yu Yanwei thought Leng Xiaoyao’s suggestion was reasonable because his purpose was also to bet. He said, “Oh! What do you want to bet?”

“Each person bets ten million yuan. You and Brother Mochen compete, while Lin Miss and I compete. The winner takes the money. How about it?” Leng Xiaoyao said.

Although most of the people who came here to play weren’t short of money, when they heard that the bet was ten million yuan, many of them were surprised.

Even though they were rich, they still felt that ten million yuan was a lot, at least it was not a small amount to bet.action

“Young Master Yu, I-I don’t have so much money.” Lin Xiyuan immediately whispered to Yu Yanwei in a low voice.

Although she was a first-line actress with assets of nearly a hundred million yuan, she still refused to put up ten million yuan for such a bet no matter what.

It wasn’t that she lacked confidence, but she just didn’t want to put up so much money.

On the other hand, for Yu Yanwei, putting up one or two million yuan for a bet wasn’t difficult at all. Moreover, he was confident that he wouldn’t lose!

Just as Leng Xiaoyao was confident that they wouldn’t lose, she took the initiative to propose a bet of ten million yuan each.

“Good, ten million yuan each.” Yu Yanwei didn’t object, then said to Lin Xiyuan, “I’ll cover for you, but try your best to win beautifully.”

“Of course, Young Master Yu.” Lin Xiyuan was cheered up. If she raced, she had a good chance of winning. Her equestrian skills weren’t professional, but she came from the grasslands and had been riding horses since she was little.

She had been to this racecourse many times and hadn’t seen many women who rode better than her!

“I’ll cover for you too. If we win, it’s yours. If we lose, it’s mine.” Li Mochen didn’t want to seem weak. Although he hadn’t thought about letting Leng Xiaoyao put up her share of the bet when it came to betting, he said it aloud when he heard Yu Yanwei’s words.

“No, if we lose, it’s yours. If we win, we’ll share it,” Leng Xiaoyao said. She didn’t think that they would lose. If they won, she couldn’t take it all. It was ten million yuan, not ten thousand yuan!

If it was just ten thousand yuan, she wouldn’t hesitate to take it all from Li Mochen.

“Okay.” Li Mochen didn’t argue with Leng Xiaoyao anymore and looked at her with indulgence.

Since it was a competition with a bet involved, there naturally had to be an agreement to avoid any accidents.

During the signing process, staff members cleared the race track and asked guests riding horses on the track to move to the middle infield.

The racecourse track was sixteen hundred meters long and wasn’t just one circle. There were many bends that divided the entire racecourse into two areas.

One area was a large lawn with more people.

The second area was more relaxing with a grove of trees and a pond for the horses to drink from.

The second area was suitable for slow riding and chatting, so many important people would be in this area.

Since there was a competition, there would be betting activities at the racecourse. These also required some time, so they were scheduled to start half an hour later.

To prevent accidents, Leng Xiaoyao tried out the horse before the competition during this half hour.

Because Yu Yanwei often came here, many people were familiar with him. They all knew that his equestrian skills were excellent, so most people were willing to bet on him to win.

Especially Yu Yanwei’s friends, they naturally bet on him.

“Young Master Yu, you must be confident, right?” someone asked.

“Of course! I’m going to win,” Yu Yanwei said confidently.

Although some people had concerns, they didn’t say it out loud.

Today, Tao Zheng also came to the racecourse with his friends. When he saw there was horse betting, he immediately got excited and bet on Li Mochen to win. He placed a hundred bets, each worth ten thousand yuan, totaling one million yuan.

However, in this kind of private gambling, the highest amount one could bet was only one million yuan. If it was an official racecourse gambling event, there would be higher limits.

Not only did Tao Zheng bet, but his three friends who came with him also bet, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Although they were not familiar with Li Mochen, they knew him and were aware that he had good equestrian skills.

Leng Xiaoyao rode Chi Yan in the racecourse and felt good.

Tao Zheng didn’t have time to see Li Mochen before the race started.

“Brother Mochen, if I reach the finish line before you do, you’ll treat me to dinner tonight. If you reach the finish line before me, I’ll treat you to dinner. Don’t go easy on me!” Leng Xiaoyao said.

“Okay!” Li Mochen agreed. Whatever Leng Xiaoyao wanted to do, as long as it wasn’t dangerous for her, he would try his best to cooperate.

The two of them seemed to be the only ones in this race, ignoring Yu Yanwei and Lin Xiyuan.

Yu Yanwei didn’t say anything and just snorted disdainfully.

The race was about to begin and everyone took their positions.

As the gunshot sounded, the four horses rushed out like lightning.

This horse race wasn’t challenging for Leng Xiaoyao and Li Mochen, but they still gave it their all.

Within the first hundred meters, the four were still neck-and-neck, but after the first hundred meters, Lin Xiyuan fell behind. She was sweating profusely and even her back was covered in cold sweat.

How was it possible? How could they be so powerful?

Lin Xiyuan couldn’t believe the result nor could she accept it. She tried her best to catch up with them but still failed.

Even Yu Yanwei was shocked.

Within the first 200 meters, he was left behind too.

If he and Lin Xiyuan both lost, it wouldn’t just be a matter of face, but also a matter of twenty million yuan!

Although he was willing to spend twenty million yuan to cover up his loss, it didn’t mean that he could afford to lose! He was confident that he would win, which was why he readily agreed to this bet.
