Shen Li paused:
"Yeah?"
"yes."
Yu Pingchuan poured her a cup of tea,
"There are also some friends around who are very interested in horse racing, but I haven't heard them mention Guo Shiyang."
This kind of circle is common in private, who recently bought a good horse, whose horse won the championship in the Marseille, etc., similar news will spread widely.
Yu Pingchuan said he hadn't heard of it, so it is estimated that Shi Yang had never been involved in these things before.
"But this is not certain." Yu Pingchuan thought for a while, "I have a few friends who were not interested in these things at first, but at a certain stage, they suddenly fell in love with them, and one of them later opened their own A riding club."
Shen Li stroked the teacup:
"Well, he bought a white horse today."
"So fast?"
Yu Pingchuan was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, this is also normal.
"That should be because he really likes it, and he is not short of the money."
Shen Li took a sip of tea, but didn't speak.
Yu Pingchuan asked again:
"By the way, speaking of Shi Yang, I heard that last time he participated in the bidding for your painting "Fog"?"
Shen Li nodded: "He raised his card once."
"It seems that he really likes your paintings. I heard that those members of the Gu family were all there that day, and the auction was very fierce."
As Yu Pingchuan said, he glanced at Lu Huaiyu next to him.
Who would have thought that the last painting would still fall into the hands of this kid
Lu Huaiyu smiled slightly:
"I would also like to thank the elders of the Gu family for letting me go."
Yu Pingchuan choked for a moment, and quickly shifted his gaze to Shen Li.
"Even if he only raised his cards once, it's quite surprising. I didn't pay much attention to him when he said he admired your paintings earlier."
In the past few years, the shadow of the tree has risen rapidly in the domestic painting circle. Although it has not been a long time since its debut, it has a large number of fans.
And after the fact that Shen Li was the shadow of the tree was exposed, this name became associated with Mei Yanqing, and gained even more limelight.
Yu Pingchuan was usually outside, and he really heard such compliments a lot, and he was already immune to it.
So when he heard that Shi Yang actually tried to take pictures of Shen Li's paintings, he was really surprised.
Shen Li didn't pay much attention to this matter. Seeing that Yu Pingchuan still had a collection of materials for this horse race, she asked:
"Have you seen this one too? Is there anything you like?"
Mentioning this, Yu Pingchuan suddenly became energetic:
"Yes, I have!"
He picked up the information and pointed it to Shen Li:
"Look, this is the batch for tomorrow's competition. I think both No. 5 and No. 8 are good!"
Shen Li looked at his hand, and was silent for a moment:
"... what is your budget for this bet?"
Yu Pingchuan chuckled:
"Two paintings. Originally I was talking about one, but this time the horse race will be in charge of you, Li. As a senior, of course you have to support it, don't you think so?"
Shen Li: "..."
All Yu Pingchuan's rhetoric on this matter is not worth believing.
Last year, he originally talked about half a painting, but in the end he bet far more than this amount.
If it wasn't for betting with her in the end, I don't know how much I will pay.
And this time he said two paintings...
Shen Li silently calculated the time it took him to draw two paintings, and it was rare that she felt a little distressed.
After thinking for a moment, she said:
"Then you should bet with me this year."
It is very hard for the old man to draw a picture.
Yu Pingchuan was taken aback, surprised and pleasantly surprised:
"Huh? Ari, you want to play too?"
The entire Watada Racecourse is hers, and she didn't expect her to have such a plan.
Lu Huai glanced sideways at her.
Shen Li nodded: "It was quite interesting to play last year, so let's just join in the fun."
Yu Pingchuan was very happy: "Okay! Then when the time comes—hey, by the way, are Huai and you together?"
Lu Huai and the slightly curved lips:
"OK."
…
On August 1st, at one o'clock in the afternoon, the Hong Kong City Jockey Club officially started.
There are huge crowds of people above the stands, and there is a lot of excitement.
The members of the Gu family arrived one after another.
Shen Li first accompanied Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu to the No. 2 box, and then went to the No. 1 box that once belonged to Gu Tingyin alone.
Many people around looked towards this side, and seeing this scene, they talked and expressed emotion again.
"Box No. 1 is specially reserved for Miss Gu Si. It has never been opened for so many years. Now that Shen Li is back, this unique favor is naturally given to her."
"After all, it's Miss Gu's only bloodline, and she's been away for so many years, shouldn't the Gu family spoil her even more?"
"When Shen Li came last year, some people said that she and Miss Gu Si looked alike. Who would have thought that they were actually mother and daughter?"
"It's a pity that Fourth Miss Gu left early..."
Shi Yang walked towards the VIP box, and when he heard the discussions around him, he raised his head and looked ahead.
Shen Li has already entered the box, and no one can be seen in the corridor.
pity.
He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, smiled lightly, gentle and refined, then turned and entered his box.
…
As soon as Shen Li entered the No. 1 box, she was slightly stunned when she saw the appearance inside.
This box is obviously different from other boxes, it is obviously specially arranged, there is a white pony doll on the sofa, and a white telescope on the table.
She picked it up and took a look, only to see the faint words engraved on the edge of the telescope—Jin.
This is... Shen Zhijin specially gave it to Gu Tingyin to watch the competition.
These things are placed here, still brand new, as if skipping the long time in the middle, everything is still, staying at that time forever.
tuk tuk.
There is a knock on the door.
Shen Li looked up.
In fact, the door of this box was open, as soon as she looked up, she saw Gu Tinglan standing outside the door.
"Ali."
"Little uncle."
Gu Tinglan walked in.
Originally, he was in Box No. 6, but for the convenience of explaining the situation of the racecourse and Marseille to Shen Li, he came here specially.
After all, he was in charge of Watada Racecourse before, and he knows these things best.
No one is more suitable than him.
As soon as he sat down beside Shen Li, Yu Pingchuan followed closely behind.
"Ali?"
Seeing that Gu Tinglan was also there, Yu Pingchuan froze for a moment.
Gu Tinglan got up and greeted him with a smile:
"Teacher Yu."
Yu Pingchuan can probably guess why Gu Tinglan is here, but—
"Where's Huaiyu? He's not with you?"
As soon as the words fell, a deep and smiling voice came from outside the door:
"Looks like I'm late."
Shen Li raised her eyes: "Second brother."
In fact, Lu Huaiyu originally came with her, but just met a few friends, so it was delayed.
After all, it was rare for him to come to Hong Kong City once.
Lu Huaihe walked in and sat down beside Shen Li.
At this time, on the racetrack, on the huge electronic screen, the information of the participating horses in the first preliminaries was displayed one after another.
The positions of No. 1 and No. 2 still belong to Jiaoyue and Qingfeng respectively.
But this Qingfeng didn't play.
Gu Tinglan lifted her chin:
"This time, how do you bet?"
The voice fell, and two voices sounded in the box at the same time.
"Number seven wins alone."
"Number seven wins alone."
