Chapter 452: Enter the Racing Venue
....Translator: _Min_ |
After Gu Dai inquired Meng Zhi about his location, she turned to Xu Huan with a concerned look. “Grandma, I have something to take care of shortly and will need to leave for a bit. Are you okay with that?”
Xu Huan replied with a smile, “Don’t worry about me. I have a caregiver here, you go ahead with your business.”
Gu Dai reiterated her instructions to the caregiver to take good care of Xu Huan before hastily leaving.
s.h.i.+ Nuan, gripping Gu Dai’s hand tightly, expressed her anxiety. “Daidai, I saw the photo, and it seems like they are together. I’m worried…”
Gu Dai placed her hands on s.h.i.+ Nuan’s arms, looking at her earnestly. “Don’t panic just yet. There might be a misunderstanding in all this. Let’s wait until we meet the people involved to find out more.”
s.h.i.+ Nuan nodded obediently, responding softly, “Okay.”
Meng Zhi was partic.i.p.ating in a racing event. When Gu Dai and s.h.i.+ Nuan arrived, they were stopped by a security guard at the entrance. “I’m sorry, Miss, but it’s past the time for entry. You can’t go in now.”
s.h.i.+ Nuan’s eyes reddened slightly, pleading, “Please, can you make an exception and let us in?”
The guard was in a difficult position. “I’m sorry, but I have to follow the rules.
If I let you in, I’ll be punished.”
Disappointed, s.h.i.+ Nuan withdrew her gaze, accepting the situation.
Gu Dai took out her phone, telling s.h.i.+ Nuan, “I’ll call Third Brother and see if he can get us in.”
s.h.i.+ Nuan responded, “Okay.”
Meanwhile, Meng Zhi was doing his warm-up exercises. Hearing a special ringtone, he smiled and answered softly, “Daidai, what’s up?”
Gu Dai explained their situation. “Third Brother, we can’t get into the race venue. Can you help us get in?”
Meng Zhi quickly responded, “Wait for me, I’ll come to get you.”
A few minutes later, a man ran out and upon seeing Gu Dai, asked, “h.e.l.lo, are you Meng Zhi’s sister?”
Gu Dai nodded, then inquired, “And you are?”
w.a.n.g Hao’s eyes lit up, excitedly saying, “No wonder Meng Zhi always talks about his sister. You’re so pretty!”
Regaining his composure, he hurriedly introduced himself, “I’m w.a.n.g Hao, a friend of Meng Zhi. He wanted to come himself after your call, but his coach stopped him because of the upcoming race, so he asked me to come instead.”
Gu Dai nodded in understanding and introduced herself and her friend, “I’m Gu Dai, and this is my friend, s.h.i.+ Nuan.”
s.h.i.+ Nuan greeted him.
w.a.n.g Hao led Gu Dai and s.h.i.+ Nuan into the race venue. The atmosphere was electric, and the crowd cheered wildly as Meng Zhi made his appearance.
s.h.i.+ Nuan’s eyes sparkled as she tugged slightly at Gu Dai’s sleeve, whispering, “Daidai, Brother Meng Zhi is so handsome!”
Gu Dai looked at s.h.i.+ Nuan’s flushed ears and shook her head in resignation.
s.h.i.+ Nuan’s smile faded upon seeing Xia Yi approaching.
Xia Yi, with arms crossed, looked s.h.i.+ Nuan up and down with disdain. “The venue is closed, and yet Miss s.h.i.+ still gets in. Must be using her influence, right?”
Her words attracted the attention of many onlookers, who started whispering among themselves.
“People like her, born into wealth and beauty, using their influence is no surprise. They know nothing of the struggles of ordinary people and don’t care about them.”
“I bet the staff here have been bullied by these rich ladies.”
“One of them, though only seen from the side, looks so familiar and beautiful. I think I’ve seen her somewhere.”
“I feel the same, but I can’t recall meeting such a beauty. Let’s forget that and focus on how they’re abusing their influence. We should stand up for the staff.”
“The crucial point is, we queued for such a long time, standing outside for half an hour before we got in, only for them to waltz in so easily. It’s just not fair to me!”
w.a.n.g Hao, hearing the slanderous comments about Gu Dai and s.h.i.+ Nuan, started to imagine how Meng Zhi, the most protective of his younger sister’s, would rage upon hearing them.
He stepped forward to clarify, “Everyone, please calm down. These ladies didn’t use their influence to get in. They are friends of Meng Zhi. As you know, contestants can bring friends, and they have that privilege.”
Upon hearing w.a.n.g Hao’s explanation, the crowd understood and expressed their realization, “Oh, that makes sense. We misunderstood them.”
Xia Yi, listening to the surrounding conversations, turned green with anger, yet managed to retort, “Do you even know anything about racing? Why come here if you don’t understand it?”
