Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 339 - Chapter 339 Chapter 338 Reunited at the Racecourse

Chapter 339: Chapter 338: Reunited at the Racecourse Chapter 339: Chapter 338: Reunited at the Racecourse Ning Shu had always been terrified of ghosts.

Although she had never seen one, that night still left her quite frightened.

The next day, she developed a high fever and remained in bed for several days.

That night, Ming Yao sought Zhong Ling’s help and had her disguised as her mother in her opera costume years ago.

From Ning Shu’s words, Ming Yao could deduce that even if she hadn’t directly killed her mother, she had done many things to harm her!

Of course, Ming Yao wouldn’t let Ning Shu recover easily.

She quietly added something to the incense in Ning Shu’s room.

When Ning Shu occasionally woke up, hallucinations would appear.

She kept saying that Ming Ying came to find her as if she had gone mad.

In just a short period, Ning Shu greatly withered away.

Nangong Jing and Nangong Xuan summoned the Nan family’s best doctor, but nobody could diagnose Ning Shu’s condition.

Nangong Jing even invited a high monk, but it was still ineffective.

Ning Shu’s madness got even worse.

She kept muttering that Ming Ying came to find her.

Out of options, Nangong Jing had to consult Old Master Nangong about sending Ning Shu abroad for treatment.

“Brother, it must be Ming Yao’s doing!” Nangong Xuan’s biggest support in the Nangong Family was always her mother, who had gone abroad. What would she do in the future?

Nangong Jing, already disappointed in Nangong Xuan due to her wrongly accusing Ming Yao last time, coldly said, “Do you have any evidence that it was her doing? Nangong Xuan, wasn’t one wrongful accusation enough, or do you want to make a second one?”

Nangong Xuan’s eyes widened as she looked at Nangong Jing, who was speaking harshly to her. She didn’t understand, Ming Yao had been at the Nangong Family for less than a week, and suddenly her mother started having mental issues. Why were her brother and third brother siding with Ming Yao? What exactly went wrong?

“Brother, don’t forget, Ming Yao’s mother once seduced our father!”

“Fourth Uncle was a man above men, the dragon among people, after falling in love with Fourth Uncle, how could Fourth Aunt be attracted to our father?” In fact, Nangong Jing had always felt that there was something fishy about Fourth Aunt’s death. He had investigated when he grew up, but nothing came of it.

His mother had been scared into this state by seeing the ‘ghost’ of Fourth Aunt in the middle of the night, most likely having some connection to Fourth Aunt’s death.

Now sending his mother abroad was the safest option.

Nangong Jing had an inkling that Ming Yao’s arrival at the Nangong Family was well-prepared.

It seemed that there would be trouble ahead for the Nangong Family!

Ignoring Nangong Xuan’s objections, Nangong Jing sent Ning Shu overseas.

When Ming Yao learned of this, she did not show much emotional fluctuation.

Even if Ning Shu recovered, her mental state would not be as it had been before.

As for the Uncle Hua she mentioned–

Knock, knock, knock, the sound of knocking on the door.

Ming Yao opened the door and Nangong Heng was standing at the threshold, “Yao Mei, the Racecourse opens the day after tomorrow. Do you want to show your support for third brother?”

After taking the medicine Ming Yao gave him, although Nangong Heng still had not fully regained sensation, it seemed there was some change.

He took the medicine to the Nangong Family hospital, where the senior experts claimed it was a divine remedy for his condition, hard to buy on the general market.

Moreover, the medicine had a secret formula that not just anyone could develop.

Nangong Heng had witnessed everything happening in the Nangong Family of late.

If she said she did not play a role in it, he would not believe it.

What exactly was this girl up to?

He needed to observe her for a while longer.

Ming Yao, currently preoccupied with searching for the Uncle Hua mentioned by Ning Shu, was not interested in Nangong Heng’s Racecourse opening.

She was about to decline when she heard Nangong Heng say, “Fourth Uncle once owned a magnificent horse. I’ve also brought it to the Racecourse. Yao Mei, would you like to see the horse your father once rode?”

Ming Yao’s heart stirred.

The words at the tip of her tongue, ready to decline, became a quiet “Okay.”

Nangong Xuan felt dispirited because of Ning Shu’s departure abroad.

Old Master Nangong called her to his study, “The day after tomorrow, your third brother’s racecourse is opening, and I’ve arranged for you to go with Gu Siting to support him!”

Hearing that Old Master Nangong had arranged for her to go with Gu Siting, a smile finally appeared on Nangong Xuan’s troubled face.

She hugged Old Master Nangong’s arm and cooed, “Grandpa, you’re so good to me, but…”

Old Master Nangong looked at Nangong Xuan, “But what?”

“Don’t you find it too abnormal that my mom suddenly lost her mind and even claimed she saw Ming Yao’s mother’s ghost?”

Old Master Nangong stroked his white beard, to tell the truth, it was indeed abnormal.

But recently, he had reviewed the household surveillance and saw that Ming Yao came straight home from work every day without ever approaching the stage.

Ning Shu suddenly losing her mind could only mean that her conscience was too weak to bear the burden of her guilt!

“I will keep a closer eye on Ming Yao, so don’t worry about her; in grandpa’s heart, you’ll always be the Nan family’s Little Princess!”

…

Nangong Heng’s racecourse was located in the suburbs.

Nangong Heng didn’t rely on it to make money, he simply enjoyed horse riding, so he established a racecourse.

It was open only to upper society.

Upon arriving at the racecourse, Ming Yao noticed it wasn’t small; the surroundings were lush with greenery, and there was a clubhouse that spanned over a thousand square meters that looked very upscale.

“Third brother, this investment wasn’t small, was it?”

“Not much, just two billion.”

Ming Yao’s lips curled, “Third brother is getting a bit Versailles.”

“Sister, no offense, but the medicine you gave third brother, if you were willing to sell it on the market, you’d definitely be richer than him.”

Ming Yao smiled without saying a word.

The two got out of the car and entered the clubhouse.

Nangong Heng handed Ming Yao a set of women’s riding attire, “Try this on.”

Ming Yao went into the changing room and put on the riding outfit.

The riding outfit prepared for her by Nangong Heng consisted of a red top, white tight-fitting pants, and black riding boots.

With her long hair tied into a high ponytail, when she walked out of the changing room, Nangong Heng couldn’t help but whistle.

No wonder back in the day, Ming Yao’s birth mother could captivate several brothers of the Nan family. With such a stunningly beautiful and alluring figure, who wouldn’t be moved?

“If you weren’t my sister, I’d really damn well want to chase you.”

Ming Yao remained unmoved by the compliment, “Third brother has a good eye for riding outfits.”

Having spent some time with her, Nangong Heng found that Ming Yao was low-key and intelligent. No matter what occurred, she could calmly handle the situation. Compared to her sister, Nangong Xuan seemed to fall far short.

Indeed, without comparison, there would be no harm.

Nangong Heng realized he was starting to like this sister of his.

Of course, not in a romantic way, but truly as a sister.

“Come on, third brother will take you horse riding.”

The two went to the racecourse.

There were already numerous young masters and daughters of wealthy families present.

Under one of the sunshades, a group of five or six men and women stood. Yanxi nudged Gu Siting with his elbow, “We brothers finally come out to ride horses, and you still bring a lady friend?”

Gu Siting glanced at Nangong Xuan, who was not far away on a phone call, and spoke with a detached tone, “Just doing a favor for Old Master Nangong.”

“Hmph, such virtue. As if I don’t know you. If you weren’t interested in her, you probably wouldn’t give even the President face.”

As Yanxi spoke, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a familiar, graceful figure.
