Ning Li's lips curled into a smile.
"OK."
After hearing her affirmative answer, Mrs. Gu's brows and eyes were filled with tenderness and joy, and she left.
The figures of the group gradually faded away.
"Ali."
Yu Pingchuan called her.
Ning Li turned around, not knowing where to start.
this thing.
"Mr. Yu, is the 'Yinyin' that Mrs. Gu just mentioned is the one you mentioned before?"
She hesitated to speak.
Knowing that she was smart, Yu Pingchuan sighed immediately.
"Yes, it's Miss Gu Fourth—Gu Tingyin."
Ning Li thought it was true.
Thinking of Mrs. Gu's expression just now, it should be that she loves her daughter very much.
I don't know why Fourth Miss Gu went there in the first place, leaving Mrs. Gu so sad.
But this is the Gu family's private matter. As an outsider, it's not easy for her to ask more questions.
However, every time she thought of the scene where the light in Mrs. Gu's eyes gradually faded when she turned her head, she felt a little sour in her heart.
She touched her face and asked strangely:
"Do I look alike that Miss Gu Si?"
Yu Pingchuan shook his head.
"I haven't seen that one with my own eyes. However, I heard that when Miss Gu Si passed away, she was only in her early twenties, not much older than you now. I guess you look a bit like her, and you both ride horses. It's more like it."
Ning Li nodded.
Gu Siyang also said that Mrs. Gu's eyesight is not very good, and it seems that there is nothing strange about admitting mistakes from a distance.
The horse trainer asked respectfully:
"Miss Ning, do you want to continue?"
In fact, after Gu Siyang got angry at the racecourse yesterday, all the staff here already knew that Ning Li was a distinguished guest invited by Gu Tinglan himself.
So today's attitude is already very polite.
And now—seems to be a little more earnestly respectful.
Those present, no one could tell that Mrs. Gu treated this Miss Ning Li very unusually.
Even Mr. Gu
No matter what her background is, now that she is favored by the Gu family, it is already very different from before.
Ning Li stroked the green horse's head.
"No, let's stop here today."
The trainer asked again:
"Then you see, what name do you want to give?"
All the horses in the racecourse are owned by the Gu family and are numbered uniformly.
Only after being bought by auction and having an owner, will it be given an official name.
Now that this young horse has not gone through the bidding process, Mr. Gu gave it to Ning Li directly, so of course it is already hers.
Ning Li thought for a while and said:
"Let's call it Qingfeng."
She touched its ears,
"Do you like the name?"
Qingfeng shook his head and rubbed against her palm.
Ning Li laughed.
"Then take it as you agree. Remember to work hard tomorrow and come back first."
She said seriously:
"Ms. Yu can sell one less painting, but it all depends on you."
Yu Pingchuan: "."
Qingfeng neighed, as if responding to her words.
Ning Li glanced at the sky.
"Teacher Yu, let's go back too."
Gu family.
Gu Siyang helped Mrs. Gu to the room to rest, and seeing that she was fine, she walked out of the room lightly.
When I came to the living room, I saw only Gu Tingfeng was there, and there was no old man Gu.
Gu Siyang looked around and asked strangely:
"Dad, where's grandpa?"
Gu Tingfeng sat on the sofa, wondering what he was thinking, and was a little lost in thought.
Hearing Gu Siyang's voice, he looked up.
"Oh, your grandpa has gone to the study."
Gu Siyang glanced in the direction of the study.
The door was closed and there was silence.
He sighed.
No need to think about it, Grandpa must have gone to see Si Gu's photo album again.
Over the years, he actually seldom went to see those, and once he saw them, he felt sad.
But today.
"Dad, I've seen photos of my sister-in-law. I don't think Ning Li and her are particularly similar."
Gu Tingyin passed away when Gu Siyang was very young, so he actually didn't have much impression of her.
Most of my understanding came from the photos I saw later and the descriptions of the past by other members of the Gu family.
Gu Tingfeng pondered for a while, then said:
"If you only look at the photos, there is indeed only a little resemblance, but when riding a horse, the back is really very similar."
It is hard to see statically, but the dynamic is much more vivid and clear.
Gu Siyang understood.
Gu Tingfeng sighed.
"No wonder your uncle said that he felt kind when he saw her, and he was willing to help out."
Gu Siyang said strangely:
"But I haven't heard my uncle talk about this before."
Gu Tingfeng smiled, but there was a bit of bitterness and helplessness in the smile.
"Your uncle liked to cling to your fourth aunt since he was a child, but when she passed away, he was only ten years old, how much can he remember?"
Today, if Ning Li hadn't worn that riding outfit and helmet and rode on horseback, I'm afraid he would only think that this girl looks a little like Yinyin when he saw her, but he would never admit his mistake, nor would he miss her. many.
"Oh." Gu Siyang struggled, "Grandma's health is not very good, this"
Gu Tingfeng shook his head.
"Your grandma didn't coax you. She is really happy today."
It was when Ning Li held her hand and comforted her with a smile.
He saw clearly from the side.
So many years have passed, and everyone in the Gu family is very clear that what is lost will never come back.
None of them had ever, much less dared to have such fantasies.
But today, Ning Li appeared.
Even if it is just a moment of comfort, it is precious to Mrs. Gu.
"This kid..." Gu Tingfeng paused for a long time, "It's pretty good."
"If you have a chance in the future, please invite someone to come to your house."
Gu Siyang agreed.
"Hey, okay."
Second race day.
The race procedure was exactly the same as the previous day. According to the same time, Ning Li and Yu Pingchuan went to Dutian Racecourse.
Compared with the previous day, the enthusiasm of the audience continued unabated, and the cheers in the huge racetrack were almost boiling.
Ning Li glanced into the arena.
Qingfeng is running the first race and is already in place.
"Teacher Yu, you bet on Qingfeng today."
Yu Pingchuan looked confused.
On the one hand, he felt that Qingfeng had a strong temper. Although he was quite obedient to Ning Li, he might not be able to run first on the court.
On the other hand, he was really afraid of losing another painting.
Ning Li is a novice, so she might be lucky
He gritted his teeth:
"and!"
Box number six.
Gu Tinglan sat on the chair, looking at the field, a little lost in thought.
Gu Siyang told him about the racecourse last night, and he was a little surprised.
He had seen Ning Li riding a horse.
But he looked at the casual clothes she was wearing at that time, and didn't pay much attention to them.
If you wear riding clothes, is it really similar to the fourth sister
"Master Ting Lan."
The senior director sitting next to him spoke and interrupted his thoughts.
Gu Tinglan looked over.
"What's wrong?"
The director's expression was a bit subtle, and he said after a while:
"That guy bet again today, betting on number nine to win."
"It seems to be all-in for all the winnings from yesterday's game."
