Chapter 845: Chapter 842: Pretending to be innocent

The announcer exclaimed in surprise, "Number five, who was initially in the back, has somehow moved up to the middle—it seems to be making its move! Number five was a favorite to win in previous years, but for some reason, its performance has dipped recently—could it be age, or perhaps fatigue? What has gotten into it today?"

"My God! It has overtaken numbers seven and eight! Now it’s the final lap, with just it and number nine vying for first place—one, a new favorite to win, and the other, a former hero! Who will come out on top?"

As the announcer spoke, the race reached its climax.

Everyone showed expressions of astonishment; no one expected that number five would surge forward with such divine help in the last two laps and claim the championship.

In the final moment, number five crossed the finish line first.

Both the grandstands and the VIP area fell into silence.

"Number five! The champion is number five!" The announcer’s voice shattered the quiet.

Those who had been waiting to see a spectacle were shocked!

The young master of the Bai Family waved his hand, and immediately a staff member brought over the money. He took it and presented it to Gu Tingyun, "Mr. Gu, this is your winnings. According to the odds, it’s a total of one million three hundred thousand."

From an initial stake of one hundred thousand, the amount had astonishingly increased to over a million, leaving everyone wide-eyed and tongue-tied.

Bai Weiyin, too, had profited handsomely, earning over two hundred thousand.

Inside, others couldn’t help feeling envious of the good fortune that Gu Tingyun and Helian Qiao had.

Such an extreme long shot—and it was their win.

Having made money, Bai Weiyin generously declared, "Qiaoqiao, thanks to you, we should split this money half and half."

"I don’t lack money!" Helian Qiao, flush with wealth, didn’t even think twice before declining.

With a slight smile, Bai Weiyin said, "That’s beside the point, I want to give this to you as a friend."

Hearing this, other women were filled with envy and jealousy!

This poor girl from the mainland had truly lucked out, catching the favor of Miss Bai of the Bai Family—a mere gesture worth tens of thousands.

Helian Qiao, hearing her say this, readily accepted, "Alright, then let’s give all this money to the horse for its food expenses."

She wouldn’t let a hero go unrewarded!

Yet Bai Weiyin thought her to be truly kindhearted and naive—rarely does one encounter someone who isn’t tempted by money.

At the horse racing meeting, once the horses reached a certain age, they would begin racing, continuing until they were old and couldn’t run anymore.

And those horses that were too old to race, or those no one bet on, would be discreetly disposed of.

But with this sum, number five would be well provided for, even in retirement.

She liked the little white rabbit even more now!!

The men had thoughts similar to Bai Weiyin, mostly agreeing with her.

However, many women felt that Helian Qiao was either pretending to be pure or was genuinely foolish!

A cool one hundred thousand handed over without even blinking—if Gu Tingyun ever tired of her and dumped her, she’d be crying!

But Gu Tingyun really did spoil his woman!

It was a pity they hadn’t caught his attention!

Otherwise, they could’ve lived a life of leisure forever!

Bai Jingjing hadn’t expected Helian Qiao to actually win her bet, but she wasn’t worried. With the horse race ending and an auction to come, she quickly devised a new plan!

"Tingyun, I’m going to the restroom," Helian Qiao said to Gu Tingyun, then headed outside.

Bai Jingjing overheard and silently followed her, both entering the restroom together.

As Helian Qiao turned on the tap to wash her hands, Bai Jingjing casually struck up a conversation: "Miss Chen, at the auction later, is there anything you’re thinking of bidding on?"
