Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 340 - Chapter 340 Chapter 339 His Humiliation

Chapter 340: Chapter 339: His Humiliation Chapter 340: Chapter 339: His Humiliation Ming Yao walked shoulder to shoulder with Nangong Heng.

Tall and slender, she donned a red equestrian outfit that outlined her exquisite figure to perfection. Her slightly curled long hair was tied into a high ponytail, and her small oval face, no larger than the palm of a hand, was bright and delicate.

Her skin under the sunlight was so white it was blinding, like a peeled egg.

Yanxi elbowed the man beside him and said, “Fourth Brother, your ex-wife is here.”

Gu Siting glanced coolly in the direction of Ming Yao and Nangong Heng.

His deep black eyes were calm and undisturbed, as if he were looking at an unrelated stranger.

“What does it have to do with me?”

Hearing Gu Siting’s words, Yanxi couldn’t help but smack his lips.

If someone didn’t know Fourth Brother, they might actually think it had nothing to do with him, but Yanxi was his good brother. How could he not know his intentions?

Clearly, it was only after knowing that she would come that he agreed to Old Master Nangong’s request.

Yanxi’s smile was devilish, with an air of knowing but not telling.

Nangong Heng came over with Ming Yao to greet everyone, “Thanks to all the distinguished guests for supporting my new racecourse.”

Someone joked with a smile, “Young Master Heng, a new romance?” they teased, winking at Nangong Heng.

Nangong Heng glanced at the stunning beauty beside him and raised his eyebrows slightly, “What are you thinking? She’s my sister.”

Huo Chun also came today. Fearing that Gu Siting would entangle her, she kept her distance from him.

Seeing Nangong Heng coming over, her eyes revealed a delighted smile.

Just as she was about to walk over to him, she saw a woman with him.

A woman radiant and coldly beautiful, posing a great threat to other women.

Even after hearing Nangong Heng say that Ming Yao was his sister, Huo Chun still didn’t quite believe it.

After all, the Nangong Family had only one daughter, Nangong Xuan.

How could there suddenly be another sister?

Huo Chun clenched her fists tightly, jealousy flashing in her eyes.

Nangong Heng was the one she had set her sights on, and no one else could take him away!

…

Nangong Heng thought Ming Yao didn’t know Gu Siting and others, so he introduced them one by one.

Ming Yao hadn’t expected to encounter Gu Siting here.

Thinking that he didn’t want to see her, she almost turned around and left.

But at this moment, everyone’s eyes were on her, and it seemed inappropriate to leave.

Ming Yao took a deep breath and extended her hand to Gu Siting, “Hello, Mr. Gu.”

The man didn’t speak. His handsome face under the short black hair was cool, handsome, yet indifferent.

Gu Siting casually placed one hand in his pocket and spoke in a cold voice, “I remember that Young Master Heng only has one sister.”

Nangong Xuan arrived after finishing a phone call, walked up to Gu Siting, and took his arm, speaking with a pleasant smile, “Fourth Master, she is my Fourth Uncle’s daughter. But her mother never married into the Nangong Family, at best she is just an illegitimate child.”

Her words were filled with contempt.

Seeing Nangong Xuan belittle Ming Yao’s identity in front of everyone, Nangong Heng frowned slightly, “Yao sister has the blood of the Nangong Family flowing through her veins, naturally, she is a part of our family.”

Gu Siting coldly tugged at the corner of his lips, “If that’s the case, why let her join the Nangong Family only now? Isn’t it because her identity is shameful?”

Actually, no matter how Nangong Xuan described her identity, Ming Yao wouldn’t take it to heart.

If it weren’t for searching for the truth about her mother’s death, she wouldn’t have stepped through the Nangong Family’s doors.

But some words, when they came out of Gu Siting’s mouth, Ming Yao realized how hurtful they could be.

He might not have been very explicit, but he indirectly agreed with Nangong Xuan’s words.

Labeling her as an illegitimate child who couldn’t be seen in public.

Ming Yao’s nose suddenly felt sore, and a bitter discomfort surged in her chest.

This man, she had always known, could be truly cold and ruthless.

Yet she had not expected him to be so disrespectful to her face!

Seeing Ming Yao’s tense figure, and her long eyelashes trembling lightly, Nangong Heng raised his hand to her shoulder and said, “In the past, indeed, our family did owe Miss Yao. From now on, I will make good amends.”

Nangong Heng gently patted Ming Yao on the shoulder, silently comforting her.

Ming Yao glanced at Nangong Heng’s handsome and enchanting profile, feeling somewhat surprised that Nangong Heng would defend her in public like this.

Nangong Heng’s actions greatly displeased Nangong Xuan and Huo Chun.

Huo Chun gave Su Keke a look, and Su Keke immediately understood the cue, nodding back at her.

After greeting everyone, Nangong Heng took Ming Yao to pick a horse.

Reaching one of the stables, Nangong Heng pointed to a brown steed inside and said, “That’s my Fourth Uncle’s beloved horse, named Chasing Wind. No one besides Fourth Uncle can tame it.”

Ming Yao approached, wanting to touch Chasing Wind, but Nangong Heng quickly pulled her back, “Don’t get close, it might kick you.”

Nangong Heng then led Ming Yao to another stable, “There are a few ponies here suitable for girls to ride.”

Ming Yao couldn’t help but hook her lip, “These don’t quite suit me.”

“What, you want to pick an even smaller one?”

“No, I want to pick a larger one to ride.”

Nangong Heng looked at Ming Yao’s slender figure, “Are you sure?”

“Certain.”

Nangong Heng led Ming Yao to a few tall and majestic horses that had just been bought from abroad.

“These are all purebred horses from England, but they haven’t been tamed yet. I’ll take you to pick another…”

“Brother Heng, I want to ride this one.”

Nangong Heng was astonished, “Miss Yao, don’t overdo it, this one is the most untamable.”

“Let me try.”

Seeing Ming Yao’s insistence, Nangong Heng nodded, “Alright, I’ll have someone lead it to the Racecourse for you.”

After Ming Yao and Nangong Heng left, a figure quietly walked into the stable and shot a fine needle into the body of the horse Ming Yao had chosen.

On the Racecourse.

The staff led over two majestic horses.

Huo Chun walked over, looked at Ming Yao, and coquettishly said, “Brother Heng, if one hasn’t learned horsemanship from a young age, it’s very easy to have an accident trying to train a wild horse like this!”

Nangong Heng glanced at Huo Chun, then at Ming Yao, “Are you sure you can do it?”

Ming Yao curved her lip, “Even if I get hurt, I won’t let you compensate.”

Nangong Heng quite liked Ming Yao’s calm, light-hearted yet confident demeanor.

Seeing Ming Yao’s determination, Huo Chun sneered inwardly, but her expression did not betray her feelings, “It seems I was overthinking. Miss Ming must be quite skilled in horsemanship, right? How about we have a competition?”

Without giving Ming Yao a chance to refuse, Huo Chun turned to Nangong Heng and said, “Brother Heng, if I win, will you take me out to dinner tonight?”

Nangong Heng shrugged, “Fine, but it must be a fair competition.”

“Of course.” Seeing Ming Yao remaining silent, Huo Chun slightly arched her brows, “Miss Ming, if you’re not confident, I could even give you a half-lap head start.”

Ming Yao replied indifferently, “No need.”

Gu Siting and Yanxi sat under the parasol.

Seeing Ming Yao take a well-fed English purebred horse from the staff, Yanxi clicked his tongue, “Ming Yao really is too bold, isn’t she? Those purebred horses are fierce in temperament, stubborn and wild, and can’t be tamed by just anyone! Emma, I’m really worried that she might end up paralyzed from a fall!”
