Chapter 113 - 113 106 So Far

113: Chapter 106 So Far 113: Chapter 106 So Far “Master…” As Zhang Zexu led Lan Xi, Zheng Yifan, Mu Ziling, Waan Qian, and Su Chen toward the back door of the hall, a middle-aged man—having waited respectfully in a corner of the hall for quite some time—hurried to catch up with Zhang Zexu with a servile smile on his face.

His name was Wu Shouheng, the general manager and person in charge of Paradise Horse Farm.

He managed the entire horse farm and had earned the trust of Zhang Zexu’s father.

Because Zhang Zexu often visited the horse farm, Wu Shouheng had met him more than once.

Yet every time, he was still respectful, fawning, and eager to please.

He knew Zhang Zexu well and knew which type of horses he liked.

Introducing and selecting horses for Zhang Zexu and his friends, Wu Shouheng always did a perfect job.

“Later on, remember…” As Wu Shouheng approached Zhang Zexu, Zhang Zexu turned his head slightly, glanced at Su Chen, and then whispered some instructions to Wu Shouheng, who listened intently and nodded earnestly.

“Su Chen, I’m sorry!” A few meters behind Zhang Zexu, Mu Ziling walked alongside Su Chen and couldn’t help apologizing again, “I didn’t expect Zhang Zexu to actually…”

To be honest, Zhang Zexu had always presented himself very well in the past, quite the refined gentleman without a hint of being a wastrel.

That was also why she was willing to be friends with him.

But today…

Mu Ziling inexplicably felt like she was seeing Zhang Zexu in a new light, as if he had been pretending all along!

“It’s nothing!” Su Chen smiled and said, truly not minding at all.

Whether scorned or despised, he never cared, as long as they didn’t bother him.

Should they bother him, well…

as of now, Zhang Zexu had not yet done so.

“Zi Lin, Zhang Zexu has always been like this; he just performs perfectly in front of you!” Waan Qian, who had managed to slip her arm through Mu Ziling’s, whispered, “As far as I know, Zhang Zexu was quite excessive overseas, that’s why his father made him come back.”

“Is he only perfect in front of me?” Mu Ziling was taken aback, her beautiful eyes furrowing slightly.

She disliked fake and pretentious people.

Initially, she could at least consider Zhang Zexu a friend or even a good friend.

But at this moment, she couldn’t help feeling repulsed.

By comparison, she appreciated and liked Su Chen’s character more; at least, Su Chen was genuine.

Even though Su Chen’s genuineness felt dismissive of ‘falsehoods’ and was immensely proud, it was still infinitely better than hypocrisy.

“Besides being perfect in front of you, he also behaves quite well in front of me, Lan Xi, and Zheng Yifan…” Waan Qian’s voice grew even softer, “Overall, Zhang Zexu is the type who will treat you well if he feels you’re worthy of being his friend and will ignore or even destroy you if he feels you’re not.

Just get used to it!”

“Power-driven?” Mu Ziling thought of the term.

“Pretty much!

But, Paradise Horse Farm is indeed a great place.

In Yanxi City, if you want to ride horses, you can only come to Paradise Horse Farm!” Waan Qian sounded somewhat resigned, which was probably the most important reason she, Zheng Yifan, and Lan Xi were all in the same social circle as Zhang Zexu.

“Hey, you better treat my Zi Lin nicely!” Waan Qian suddenly changed the subject, looking at Su Chen with feigned hostility, “She’s never been in a relationship, as pure as a sheet of white paper.

You’re not allowed to bully her…”

Su Chen couldn’t help but give a wry smile.

Wasn’t he just Mu Ziling’s fake boyfriend?

Mu Ziling, however, quickly shot Waan Qian a glare, “You and your big mouth, Su Chen is just a friend!”

“Big mouth?

Hehe…

You think I’m blind?

You might fool others, but not me.

Look, you’re already blushing.

Do you know what that is?

That’s bashfulness!!!

If it’s not because I hit the nail on the head, why the bashfulness?

Hmph!

Zi Lin, don’t forget, you’ve always been the image of a cold and aloof goddess.

The day when the goddess blushes and feels shy, that’s when the Fairy falls for the mortal!” Waan Qian boasted proudly, acting as though she had everything figured out.

“Shut up!” Mu Ziling’s face turned even redder and started to feel warm, her heartbeat accelerating.

Su Chen cast a strange look at Mu Ziling.

It seemed she really was blushing, and her emotions were indeed fluctuating greatly.

Could it be that this girl had truly fallen for him?

Just as Su Chen was about to say something, Zhang Zexu, who had been walking in front, spoke up, “Let’s pick the horses first.

Old rules, Manager Wu will lead us into the paddock!”

“Everyone, follow me closely.

There are three hundred horses in the paddock, and some of them have quite a temper.

Don’t do anything and don’t approach them on your own.

If you accidentally provoke them, it could be dangerous!” Wu Shouheng said earnestly.

As he spoke, he pointed to a large gate not far in front of him, “That’s the paddock!”

Everyone nodded.

Then, led by Wu Shouheng, they all walked into the paddock.

Upon entering, there was a distinct smell of horses, not very pleasant, but still, it was quite decent considering that three hundred horses were eating, drinking, defecating, and urinating in the paddock all day.

Even with cleaning and tidying up, it was impossible for there to be no smell at all.

The paddock was extremely large, almost like a stadium.

At a glance, the paddock was divided into hundreds of small fences, or rather, small houses.

“As everyone knows, Paradise Horse Farm is the largest horse farm in Yanxi City and one of the largest in the country.

Here we have top purebred horses as well as inferior crossbred ones, totaling over forty breeds.

The most expensive horse is valued at a million and costs eighteen thousand yuan for a one-day ride.

The cheapest horse is priced at tens of thousands of yuan, requiring one thousand and two hundred yuan for a one-day ride.

Of course, you are all friends of Young Master Lan, naturally esteemed guests of Paradise Horse Farm, and Mr.

Wu wouldn’t dream of charging you!” Wu Shouheng slowly continued, “I won’t say much else.

Most of you have been to Paradise Horse Farm many times and are quite familiar with it, so let’s just pick the horses!”

“I’ll still choose ‘Black Spot’!” Lan Xi was the first to speak up.

“Black Spot is the name of a purebred Warmblood horse, strong and robust with a coat of white fur, but with a patch of black fur on its nose, just like a black dot on a white paper, thus the name ‘Black Spot’.

All the horses in this paddock have their own names!” Mu Ziling quietly explained to Su Chen.

“Of course, Young Master Lan, recently ‘Black Spot’ has been eating well and has grown stronger!” Mu Ziling explained to Su Chen, Wu Shouheng smiled at Lan Xi, and then he quickly walked ahead; in a short while, he led a tall, strong white horse over.

“Haha…

Black Spot, haven’t seen you in a few days, huh?” Lan Xi approached and patted Black Spot’s head; Black Spot was also very gentle and cooperative.

“Black Spot and Lan Xi are very familiar with each other, so he’s showing gentleness and affection.

But if someone else were to pick him, the outcome might not be the same.

Any horse, especially a purebred fine horse, can be uncooperative with strangers,” Mu Ziling explained further and then looked toward Wu Shouheng, “I’ll stick with ‘Little Jujube Red’.”

Wu Shouheng nodded, not at all surprised.

Clearly, like Lan Xi, Mu Ziling and her ‘Little Jujube Red’ were old acquaintances as well.

“Little Jujube Red’ is of lesser value than Black Spot.

She is a mare, an Yili horse breed, not particularly fast, but very steady and well-behaved—my old partner!” Mu Ziling went on to introduce Little Jujube Red.

Soon enough, Wu Shouheng had already led Little Jujube Red over.

Indeed, this horse was entirely jujube red, not very tall but quite beautiful and spirited, aligning with a girl’s aesthetic preference.

Following that, Zheng Yifan, Zhang Zexu, and Waan Qian also one by one had Wu Shouheng lead their old partners out.

Zheng Yifan, like Lan Xi, had a Warmblood as an old partner; however, his was black, a pure black that looked very majestic and commanding, and its stature was even taller.

Waan Qian had chosen a brown Mongolian horse, with no particular distinguishing features.

Zhang Zexu’s companion was a pure white horse.

According to Mu Ziling, this pure white horse was the most valuable in the entire paddock, the only one with a value breaking the two million yuan mark, a purebred Arabian Horse.

The Arabian Horse is known as the noble among horses, extremely rare and difficult to maintain, in short, a treasure.

This Arabian horse was Zhang Zexu’s exclusive ride.

No one else could ride it at Paradise Horse Farm, no matter how much they were willing to pay.

Finally, it was Su Chen’s turn.

“Young Master, this seems to be your first visit to Paradise Horse Farm, Mr.

Wu finds you quite unfamiliar, so I presume you don’t have a familiar old partner.

How about I choose a horse for you?” Wu Shouheng said with a smile.

“That’s fine!” Su Chen nodded.

A short while later, Wu Shouheng led a chestnut-colored horse to Su Chen.

This horse was extremely tall!!!

It stood considerably taller than the horses of Lan Xi and the others!

“A Shire horse, the largest breed of horse in the world!” Mu Ziling recognized the breed instantly, looking somewhat concerned, “Manager Wu, it’s Su Chen’s first time riding, why would you pick a Shire for him?

Such a large horse is difficult to ride!”
