Chapter 843 - 840: She Seems Even More Empathetic

Chapter 843: Chapter 840: She Seems Even More Empathetic

No matter the facilities or the decor, it was worlds apart from the former.

Here, one could clearly feel the strict social hierarchy.

Even when entering through the members’ entrance, based on the different levels of membership, one’s floor seating and private box location would be segregated, allowing members to rest and place bets simply by notifying the staff in the hall.

The moment Helian Qiao appeared, she captured the attention of everyone in the room.

She was wearing a knee-length dress, its hem slightly flared, swaying as she moved, its silk brim pressed against both cheeks of her face, accentuating her delicate features.

A pair of clear, black and white eyes, exuding an innocence untainted by the ways of the world.

It made people unable to resist, wanting to taint it with worldliness.

Sensing the stares around him, Gu Tingyun struggled to contain the urge to obliterate all those prying eyes.

Seeing this, Bai Jingjing couldn’t help but feel jealous.

It was bad enough not to compare to Bai Weiyin, yet she was even inferior to this poor girl!

But she masked her feelings well, smiling on the surface as she stepped forward, "Mr. Gu, Miss Chen, it’s nice to see you again."

Her words created an impression that she was very familiar with Gu Tingyun.

But the two of them didn’t pay her any attention at all.

Unchanged in expression, Bai Jingjing didn’t cling to Gu Tingyun’s side and instead turned to greet others. The gentlemen present seemed to favor her slightly, enjoying her company immensely.

"Tingyun."

He Junlin walked over with a glass in hand, greeting him. When his eyes landed on Helian Qiao, they held only a trace of admiration, without crossing any boundaries, "Miss Chen, you are always so beautiful and charming every time I see you."

Bai Weiyin’s eldest son also came over, "Mr. Gu, shall we place some bets for fun?"

"Sure," Gu Tingyun nodded and replied.

The group headed towards the betting station, and through the entire wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, everyone could see the racecourse’s twelve lanes. At the starting point of the lanes, twelve horses were being led by their trainers, waiting for the start of the race.

Betting meant picking which of these twelve horses would reach the finish line first.

"Guibao, which horse do you want to bet on?" Gu Tingyun turned his head to ask Guibao.

Helian Qiao glanced casually at the twelve horses and picked one at random, "Number five."

Pfft!

No sooner had she spoken than a laugh came from nearby. It was a young woman who said without an apology, "Sorry, I just think this lady really doesn’t understand horse racing."

Helian Qiao replied indifferently, "I’ll bet on this one! Number five will run first."

Bai Jingjing also explained very kindly beside her, "Miss Chen, you do have a good eye. Number five used to be the champion of several races, but it’s old now, past its prime, and on the decline. It’s unlikely to win."

Of course, that was why the odds were so high.

But even so, nobody would bet on a horse that was almost certain to lose.

As soon as she said this, everyone present couldn’t help but laugh.

If one really had a good eye, why would they pick an outdated horse!

"You’re so annoying! I want to bet on this horse," Helian Qiao looked at her with disdain and spoke bluntly.

Bai Jingjing wasn’t offended, "Miss Chen, I only wanted to give you a reminder."

Upon hearing this, the bystanders immediately felt sorry for Bai Jingjing, "Knowing nothing oneself, yet showing such an attitude to someone giving a kind reminder!"

"I was speaking out of turn," Bai Jingjing said softly, her gaze casually drifting to Gu Tingyun, as if to gauge his reaction.

With a boorish and unreasonable poor girl as a foil, it only made her seem all the more understanding.
