Chapter 715: 367 Evil Door (Second Update)
The second day, it was a rare sunny day.
Today was also the last day of the New Yearâs Day holiday.
Early in the morning, the Ransâ servants began to get busy.
There used to be only two masters in the Ransâ, but now there was one more. However, it was just one more mouth to feed.
After Ran Bowenâs death, all the servants had been replaced except for Butler Ran. They had heard of Ran Bowen but had never seen him. In their eyes, they only had one master, Ran Tengxiao. As for the daughter of the previous master, not many of them had any respect for her.
A mountain cannot hold two tigers.
The Ransâ mountain could only have one master.
When Ming Jing went downstairs, Ran Tengxiao was sitting at the dining table in the dining room, eating breakfast while listening to the radio.
The dining room had an eight-meter-long table, and outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was an endless racecourse. At this moment, servants were cleaning the lawn on the racecourse.
Ran Bowen sat at the head of the table, and the sunlight shone on him through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The young manâs handsome face was as if carved by a knife.
Hearing footsteps, the man looked up at her.
âYouâre up early.â
The current time was 7:05 in the morning.
Ming Jing pulled out the chair opposite Ran Tengxiao and sat down. The servant asked, âWould the young lady prefer Chinese or Western breakfast?â
âChinese, thank you.â
Soon her table was full of various Chinese breakfast dishes.
There were soy milk and doughnuts, porridge and buns, rice noodles and pancakes, all kinds of dishes from all over the country, making the simple breakfast look extravagant.
Ming Jing frowned, âExcept for porridge and buns, please remove the rest.â
âYoung lady, did you sleep well last night?â
âI slept well.â
âThatâs good, so grandfather will be relieved.â
âThereâs plenty of time, after breakfast, let Xiao Hua show you around the estate. Get to know the environment, and from now on, this is your home.â
Ran Tengxiao picked up his napkin and wiped his mouth: âYoung lady, take your time. I have some matters to handle. Weâll have lunch together.â
Having said that, he stood up and left.
Ye Jian picked up the coat and quickly followed Ran Tengxiao out of the door.
Ming Jing looked away, slowly eating her breakfast.
âYoung lady,â Xiao Hua yawned and walked up to her.
Ming Jing wiped her mouth and stood up, walked out of the living room, and laughed, âDid you see the person you wanted to see in your dream last night?â
Ming Jing stood behind the pillar, touching the indentation.
Hearing this, Xiao Huaâs eyes widened instantly: âYoung lady, youâre amazing! I really dreamed of her, and her eyes look so much like yours!â
âYou damned hoof, whatâs the point in running around? Go back with me honestly.â The horse master scolded.
Ming Jing said faintly, âLet go.â
The horse master glared at her: âBe careful, this horse is very strange. Watch out that it doesnât hurt you. Iâm warning you out of kindness.â
Xiao Hua rolled her eyes: âWhat nonsense, the horse is as obedient as a quail in front of Miss.â
Yufeng moved closer to Ming Jing, raising its head. In its eyes, Xiao Hua saw a hint of grievance.
This horse had a spiritual nature.
âMiss?â The horse master was taken aback, took a closer look at her, and remembered her performance in last yearâs horse race.
Who would have thought that the president of the Jockey Club would turn into the young lady of the Rans?
It was said that she had a unique way of taming horses, and even Yufeng, which had always been difficult, was obedient in front of her now.
Ming Jing smiled and touched Yufeng: âYou said itâs strange, whatâs strange about it?â
The horse masterâs attitude improved a lot, âThis is an old horse. It usually doesnât get along with others, doesnât let people touch it, nor ride it. Master Xiao cannot even manage it. Itâs more arrogant than a princess, but for some reason, Master Xiao insists on keeping it.â
And itâs well fed and taken care of. Strange, isnât it?
But even more peculiar, besides the aforementioned problems, this old horse is usually very obedient. It stays quietly in the stables, sunbathing, sleeping, and enjoying an early retirement life.
But this morning it suddenly went wild.
And then, it encountered the young lady of the Rans.
Xiao Hua said, âI know Yufeng. It has been with the Rans since I was little. It was very fierce when it first arrived, and it seems like Aunt Yu Jiang...â
Xiao Hua immediately shut her mouth, turning pale. This name was taboo in the Ransâ house.
If Master Xiao heard her, she would be dead.
The horse master instinctively asked, âYu Jiang, what?â
This was the first time he had heard this name.
âNever mind, Miss, Yufeng seems to like you a lot.â
Ming Jing touched Yufengâs head and suddenly leapt onto its back, gracefully and effortlessly, leaving Xiao Hua dumbfounded.
The horse master was also stunned. Yufeng didnât let anyone ride it. Except for the saddle, it had no other equipment. The young lady had mounted it without any help, a very impressive move.
Ming Jing tugged gently at the reins, and Yufeng raised its front hooves high, neighing loudly.
In the morning light, the young girl sat upright on the horse, her white skirt flying like a dance, her beautiful face covered with a thin layer of frost, exuding a refreshing coldness. In the sunlight, she looked stunningly beautiful.
âYufeng, itâs been more than ten years. Let me see if youâve lost any of your skills.â
Yufeng neighed in response and galloped forward, with Ming Jing giving free rein. In an instant, they were far away.
The figure of the girl in white sitting on the horseâs back was slender but unparalleled, soft yet firm.
Not far behind the flower bed, a man stared intently at the white figure on the racetrack, his clenched hands with bulging veins on the back.
Ye Jian did not dare to remind him.
Just as Master Xiao was about to leave the estate, he suddenly ordered to turn back. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw the scene.
This young lady of the Rans seemed to be an enigma.
