279 She’s Still Going To Lose In An Ugly Manner
“Yuan Hui, you…” The girls that were scolded immediately got mad. They stepped forward as they tried to shove Yuan Hui.
Yuan Hui sneered and said, “If you dare to touch me today, I’ll make sure you never get the chance to come to this poetry and literature gathering again!”
Yuan Hui’s threat made them halt their footsteps, and they didn’t dare to move forward anymore.
Chunxiang stood in front of Yuan Hui to protect her. “Don’t you dare touch Miss Yuan!”
Yuan Hui pulled Chunxiang to the side and said, “It’s going to start soon. Let’s watch the show.”
Only then did Chunxiang retreat behind Yuan Hui.
The girls around her glared at Yuan Hui, then looked toward the racecourse on the other side.
They were determined to open their eyes wide and see how that peasant bumpkin would win against Hong Xulin and the others!
Zhao Chuchu, Hong Xulin, and the other men had already gotten on their horses.
They were also going to compete in archery while competing in horse riding. They would be shooting pigeons that would be released while riding their horses.
They were also allowed to hinder their opponents during the competition.
In other words, they were allowed to attack their opponents.
Of course, they weren’t allowed to hurt other people with the arrow.
“Miss Lin, I look forward to the competition with you. Don’t worry. I will take care of you,” Hong Xulin said with a smile.
But Zhao Chuchu wasn’t fond of his goodwill. She said, “I don’t need Mr. Hong to take care of me. But you don’t need to worry; I’ll make sure to win in an indisputable fashion!”
“Hahaha, Miss Lin, you’re pretty confident in yourself. Do you really think that horse riding is the same as cow riding and that archery is the same as throwing rocks? Please don’t be so naive.”
“I don’t think it’s good for girls to be so competitive. Don’t come crying when you lose later. We’re not going to pity you like brother Hong here.”
“Brother Hong, did you hear her? Miss Lin is trying her absolute best. I think you should watch it and be careful not to lose to her. Hahaha…”
The other men who were participating in the competition all mocked and laughed at Zhao Chuchu.
They didn’t see Zhao Chuchu as a competitor at all. If it weren’t for Hong Xulin, they wouldn’t be playing such a game with absolutely no competitive pressure.
Zhao Chuchu didn’t refute them upon hearing them. Instead, all she did was smile.
To prevent anyone from getting hurt, the sharp heads of the arrows were removed, and the tips of the arrows were wrapped in pieces of fabric that were dipped in paint. Each person had a different color to differentiate their results.
Everyone had ten arrows, and the staff would release 50 pigeons for them.
Other than Yuan Hui, no one had any expectations for Zhao Chuchu.
Especially those people who were friends with Miss Du. They had all categorized Zhao Chuchu as a slutty, vulgar woman trying to seduce Hong Xulin.
Zhao Chuchu jumped onto the horse’s back in one smooth motion. In the eyes of the other girls, Zhao Chuchu did it on purpose.
“I wonder how much she practiced secretly for such a flashy, pretentious motion. Sister Du, birds of the same feather flock together, am I right?”
“Oh, my, it would be so unfortunate if she had fallen from the horse. Miss Yuan, you should get a doctor here on standby! What if she broke her arms or legs? Wouldn’t the Yuan clan need to provide for her for the rest of her life?”
“What a terrible sight to imagine. But I do admire her spirit. She’s risking her life to attract the attention of Mr. Hong.”
Yuan Hui didn’t get mad listening to what they said. Instead, she cut them off with a casual tone.
“She’s absolutely right. Daughters and ladies of noble families should always watch their speech and behavior. But I find it surprising that some people seem to have lost control of their mouths altogether. They behave like vulgar women gathering on the streets. If you’re jealous of my sister, you can try to learn from her, you know?”
Yuan Hui paused to appreciate their expressions, which instantly turned dark and ugly. Finally, she smiled and said again, “Oh my, I wasn’t talking about you. Please don’t assume things.”
They were livid, yet there was nothing they could do.
Miss Du said with a straight face, “Enough talking. They’re going to start soon. We’ll know how good she is once we see her do it for real.”
She didn’t believe that a bumpkin from the countryside could win against Hong Xulin.
Miss Du was waiting for Zhao Chuchu to make a fool of herself and get publicly humiliated.
The horse-riding and archery competition started once they were all ready.
Hong Xulin was the first to dash out on his horse.
The other men followed closely behind her.
Zhao Chuchu was behind all of them.
When the girls saw that, they immediately started laughing.
They were all waiting to see Zhao Chuchu make a fool of herself.
But Zhao Chuchu wasn’t in a hurry.
This was only the beginning. The winner was only decided at the very end.
“She’s slower than a snail. Did she really think she was riding a cow instead of a horse?”
“This is the first time she’s seen a racehorse. Of course, she would be excited. She doesn’t dare to ride fast because she won’t have another chance to ride a horse once this ends.”
“Miss Yuan, why didn’t you teach Miss Lin how to ride a horse before coming? Look at her! She’s going to make you a laughing stock in Guangqing Province as well.”
“Don’t worry about me. Sister Lin had never let me down before. I think you should worry more about Mr. Hong. I’m afraid he will commit suicide out of shame when he loses to the so-called ‘bumpkin’ that you girls are laughing at!” Yuan Hui was calm and composed.
Chunxiang was inexplicably confident in Zhao Chuchu as well.
She felt that Zhao Chuchu would definitely be able to win.
In a corner that no one was paying attention to, Xie Heng was looking attentively at Zhao Chuchu on the racecourse.
For some reason, when he watched Zhao Chuchu ride the horse, the image of Zhao Chuchu riding the vehicle called the motorcycle, which she showed him that night, flashed into his mind. She looked supremely handsome, stunning, and stylish.
Xie Heng’s gaze softened uncontrollably.
He felt that one day, he would be able to see the image in his mind become a reality.
Although Zhao Chuchu had never told him how good she was at horse riding, Xie Heng knew that Zhao Chuchu was talented in almost anything one could imagine. There were very few things that she wasn’t capable of.
That was why he felt relaxed as he waited to watch his wife defeat all those men on the racecourse.
Xie Heng wasn’t worried that they would rig the competition either.
Otherwise, they would be the ones who die!
Zhao Chuchu’s attention was focused entirely on the competition, so she didn’t notice Xie Heng’s presence.
She didn’t go all out until the pigeons were released.
The pigeons were all frightened, and there was absolute chaos when they flew out. There was no pattern in their flight.
While Mr. Hong looked like he had nothing but looks, he was actually decent. He was the first to hit a pigeon.
The girls immediately started cheering.
Zhao Chuchu felt like laughing. Regardless of the era she was in, chasing after celebrities seemed to be part of human nature.
Unfortunately, Hong Xulin was definitely not a good man by any definition.
At the same time, the other men shot their arrows as well. Although none of them hit a target, they at least looked cool.
The other girls started mocking Zhao Chuchu again.
“Miss Yuan, do you really think that girl stands a chance?”
“Even if Mr. Hong went easy on her, she wouldn’t be able to win. So she’s still going to lose in an ugly manner.”
“That’s why I always say humans can be fundamentally different. There’s no way to force oneself into another group. Miss Lin is the best example. Something made of dirt and muck can never become golden. Even if she painted herself with gold powder, she would still be garbage.”
Yuan Hui didn’t say anything.
There was no point in quarreling with these people.
It’s better just to watch how Zhao Chuchu would make them swallow their words.
Miss Du started speaking then, “Miss Yuan, are you still not going to admit…”
