Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!-Chapter 304: Horse Riding
Chapter 304: Chapter 304: Horse Riding
"Isn’t she supposed to be in Lan City?"
"Why is she sitting in the same elevator as Xiao Chen?"
His expression was indiscernible as he glanced over, meeting those careless eyes. The girl’s lips slightly curved, her stance wild yet cool.
Ji Ling stood by Ji Xian’s side, holding onto him. Seeing Yun Yue standing together, her hand tightened involuntarily; Ji Xian quietly glanced at her.
Everyone noticed Yun Yue by Xiao Chen’s side. It was known that no woman had ever appeared beside him, let alone one who could stand beside him as an equal.
The woman before them was unbelievably beautiful, slender and collected, indifferent yet defiant, with wildness etched into her very bones. Her eyes were deep and cold, inscrutable.
Just as the elevator was about to close, a distinctively jointed hand stopped it. Xiao Chen looked at Ji Xian, and spoke lazily with a noble air, "Elder Ji, I shall visit another day to discuss a matter."
Listeners took more from the words than the speaker intended. Everyone pondered the meaning of his statement.
The Xiao Family and Jiji Family had previously discussed a marriage arrangement. Now that Elder Ji had returned, the situation in Beijing seemed poised to change.
Ji Ling’s palms were sweaty with nervousness. With grandfather back, would he actually dare to call off the marriage?
Ji Xian’s eyes were dark and deep as he stared at him for a long while, "It happens that I also have matters to consult with Young Master Xiao."
The elevator doors closed, leaving everyone with their various thoughts.
Thinking of Yun Yue standing beside Xiao Chen, Ji Xian’s thoughts were in disarray, so much so that he didn’t even hear He Chong speaking next to him.
It took a reminder from Housekeeper Ji behind him to snap back to reality. "No need to pick another day. I have fine tea from Ming Tea House; why not visit today?"
He Chong smiled, "Then I shall respectfully comply."
He must have had doubts about Yun Yue’s identity—whether it was a coincidence or something more—only he could confirm that.
"Would Young Master Gu also like to visit?" Ji Xian looked toward Gu Cong, who had been silent.
Gu Cong nodded slightly, his eyes and brows lowered in thought.
Xiao Chen and his group exited the elevator, with Feng Ye and Jiang Qi going to get the car. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
"It’s been nearly twenty years since I’ve seen Elder Ji. I didn’t expect him to have aged so much," Feng Ye touched his earring thoughtfully. "But he seems much more spirited."
Elder Ji had left the Ji Family when they were only four or five years old. Aunt Wen Jun’s accident had hit him hard, but he seemed more spirited since his return.
They were very young at the time, barely remembering anything, but Aunt Wen Jun was truly beautiful.
The whole of Beijing couldn’t find a woman more beautiful than her, and she was highly intelligent.
Thinking this, the blurry face in his memory suddenly overlapped with another.
His mind jolted, his brows furrowed slightly, his expression darkened as he stroked his chin in thought.
Honestly, Yun Yue really resembled Aunt Wen Jun from her younger days.
Feng Ye asked the nearby Jiang Qi, "Do you think all beautiful women look alike?"
Jiang Qi rolled his eyes and continued to walk. "With cosmetic surgery so advanced nowadays, making two identical faces is just a simple matter."
Feng Ye felt he was missing something. Seeing him dawdle, Jiang Qi pushed him forward, "Hurry up, don’t keep Master Chen waiting."

Qi Family.
These past few days, there had been continuous sounds of delicate porcelain shattering and roars.
"Jiang Wenshan, are you after my life?!" Qi Hong glared at the person in front of him.
He had locked up those treasures, but to think he found them—even that was understandable, but it was a combination lock; how did he open it?
These treasures were vital for his life, and yet within just two days, he had already destroyed three of them.
The man in front of him sipped his tea calmly as if nothing had happened, infuriating him so much that he felt like strangling him.
Jiang Wenshan glanced at him, "Calculate a date for me, and I’ll stop breaking them, plus I’ll offer up a treasure I’ve cherished for many years."
Qi Hong choked, his face filled with agony, "It’s not that I won’t calculate it for you... alright, alright, I’ll do it."
Under such pressure, it wasn’t just a matter of losing years of his life; he felt like he would roll his eyes back, kick the bucket, and end up in a coffin.
"Really?" Jiang Wenshan put down his teacup, his delicate eyebrows raised.
"Really, you scare me." Qi Hong was frustrated, feeling that his cultivation had all been ruined because of him.
Jiang Wenshan’s eyes narrowed into slits, "Good, good, good, if you had agreed earlier, all these treasures wouldn’t have been wasted."
Qi Hong: "..."
Was it still possible for him to change his mind now?
"Then you can get busy, I won’t disturb you any longer, waiting for the good news." Jiang Wenshan cheerfully left the Qi Family.
The assistant, seeing that he finally got what he wanted, was sweating bullets for him, fearing that Master Qi might strangle him.
"Once Qi Hong calculates the date, send out the invitations. Have everyone in the Painting Association start preparing; the presentation must be grand," Jiang Wenshan said, already receiving a call on his phone, his face lighting up upon seeing it was from Yun Yue.
Having returned to Shengting, she had called him.
"By the way, the master-apprentice banquet is already being arranged..."
"Stop arranging it? A small event?" Jiang Wenshan widened his eyes, the assistant beside him giving him a strange look.
He blustered, "No way, I’ve already made the arrangements. Just listen to me on this," and he hung up.
Yun Yue: "..."
"Feng Ye said Master Chen is going to the equestrian ground tomorrow."
Her delicate eyebrows raised as she walked over from the balcony.
"Lou Ting recently opened an equestrian ground; it’d be great for us to check it out. I heard there are a couple of good horses," Feng Ye explained with a smile, adding that there were several other recreational activities to enjoy there.
Lin Xuanze was excited, "Horse riding, sounds good!"
He had attended horse riding classes in his childhood and was quite skilled at it.
Feng Ye smirked, "Then it’s settled; I’ll invite a few more people, the more the merrier."
The next day, a group of them joyfully went to the equestrian ground.
Interestingly, the land that had previously been barren was now lush and green. Nobody knew how Lou Ting had done it.
He had bought this land at the cheapest price, and the returns were more than dozens of times the investment, truly a testament to his business acumen.
Yun Yue was dressed in black casual sportswear with a black peaked cap enhancing her snow-white skin, her hands stuffed in her pockets as she swaggered over.
There were quite a few visiting the equestrian ground today, but this section had been reserved by Master Chen, so the crowd wasn’t an issue for them.
Lin Xuanze looked excitedly at the row of stables and tugged at Feng Ye, "Brother Ye, these are all top-notch horses."
Following his gaze, Feng Ye could see that these horses were indeed excellent. "Can you ride?"
"I can, I’ll go pick one and try riding it first," said Lin Xuanze as he headed towards the stables.
Xiao Chen looked down, noticing the delicate woman next to him with raised eyebrows, looking at the stables, "Want to ride?"
The girl slightly lifted the corners of her eyes, retracting her gaze indifferently, "No need to ride, I’ll just watch you guys."
Thinking she might be too shy because she couldn’t ride, Feng Ye considerately said, "Yun Yue, if you can’t ride, you can let Master Chen accompany you. There are a few smaller horses over there, which are perfect for ladies to ride."
